Chapter 1292 Entering Bayam For the First Time

After the huge ship belonging to the Resistance docked, all of the City of Silver citizens changed into round-neck shirts, brown jackets, pantaloons, and dark-colored caps before following Oracle Danitz down the ship. They prepared to pass through the dock to enter the City of Generosity Bayam. Those clothes had been prepared beforehand.

Its really uncomfortable wearing this. Its not suitable for battle... As he walked, Liaval moved his limbs and whispered to Elder Derrick.

Derrick nodded slightly and said, But its better to hide ourselves and not be too eye-catching. We dont want to become the focus of attention.

Derricks analysis wasnt a problem at all. After all, they were outsiders and they only numbered twenty-one people. It was best if they didnt attract the attention of others, but he seemed to have forgotten a crucial detail.

B-but, theyre all looking at us... Candice quickly surveyed the area and whispered.

The workers who were dressed crudely or half-naked at the pier all looked over at the tourists who wore all kinds of getups.

Theyre tall... A Bayam resident with bronze skin and slightly curly hair could not help but sigh.

His height was only around 160. This was the height of all the male commoners in the current colonial era. As for the people of the City of Silver, other than Derrick, who was only slightly over two meters tall, the rest were on average above 2.3 meters. The tallest of them exceeded 2.5 meters.

To have such half-giants walk through the docks amidst the crowd was equally eye-catching no matter what they wore.

Feysacians? A Loenese in a top hat and formal suit turned his head to gossip with his companion. Has the slave trade begun again?

He believed that the City of Silver entourage were Feysacian slaves that the Rorsted government had bought from the Loen Kingdom. After all, in this world, the only ones he could think of who had such heights in such numbers were the barbarians who claimed to be descendants of giants.

His partner shook his head and frowned.

It doesnt seem like the case. Most Feysacians have light-blue eyes. Furthermore, even if they are Feysacian, few of them exceed two meters in height. Un-unless these are nobles or high-ranking prisoners of war...

Although Feysac didnt have a clear rule, in all kinds of industries, especially in the military, there was a phenomenon that ones height determined ones status. Of course, this wasnt the only condition. It was also a combination of family background, nobility, and ranks.

Due to such traditions, the descendants of Feysacian royalty and the military brass were generally taller than two meters.

This was actually a superficial phenomenon that, at its essence, was an influence of their Beyonder characteristics.

Those who became one of the brass of the Feysac military were either nobles or at least Sequence 5. And for the latter, due to the repeated influence of the Giant pathways potions, their height would definitely reach the standard height. Those who chose the Red Priest pathway would also have a certain increase in height. However, the signs werent as obvious in their early stages as those from the Giant pathway, and the total increase in height was only a few centimeters. They had to become a demigod to experience a qualitative change.

For noble descendants, their ancestors were more or less giants, or had marital alliances with giants. Regardless of whether they inherited the Beyonder characteristics, the corresponding genes accumulated over generations would definitely allow their normal height to exceed two meters.

Among them, families who were still in control of a portion of the Giant pathways potion formulas, and those who had a certain heritage, tend to be in the same situation as the residents of the City of Silver.

The royal family in charge of the Red Priest pathway maintained the heights of their descendants through marital alliances.

The residents of the City of Silver, who were being scrutinized by numerous gazes, felt increasingly uneasy. It was as if they had returned to the cursed land where they were being watched by monsters as they walked in the dark.

Derrick was very calm and composed. He looked around and said to the members of the reconnaissance team, They dont have any ill intentions.

After confirming that Mr. Hanged Man was in this city and how he knew that he had arrived, Derrick no longer felt isolated and helpless.

It wasnt that he didnt trust the messenger that Mr. Fool had appointed, but that he believed that he didnt want to trouble a god as much as possible in his daily life. The best thing to do was resolve problems himself.

And when it came to dealing with his own problems, Derrick was ultimately unfamiliar with the outside world, so he wasnt too confident. At this moment, to have an experienced, trustable, extremely intelligent native with a meticulous mind help him would definitely be the best option.

Of course, Derrick also knew that Mr. Hanged Man wouldnt make any contact with him on the surface because he belonged to another faction. He wasnt a believer of Sea God, so if he acted too warmly over matters regarding the City of Silver, he was bound to be suspected.

However, there will always be a proper reason and suitable opportunities to meet... Derrick thought in anticipation.

Amidst his thoughts, he and the members of the City of Silvers reconnaissance team followed Danitz out of the dock and arrived on the streets.

Their vision suddenly broadened as they saw more people than before and heard all sorts of voices.

To the people of the City of Silver, this was even more lively than the grandest harvest in their hometown. At a glance, there were countless people dressed in strange clothes with all kinds of unique characteristics. Some were in a hurry, others were strolling leisurely, and some were carrying large pieces of fruit. They used pipes to suck in the liquid, or held food that looked like the delicious pies on the ship, occasionally taking a bite.

Apart from these, horse-like creatures that pulled carriages producing tinkling sounds, the metallic objects that moved extremely fast, and the smell of the various spices that filled the streets made people of the City of Silver feel like they had come to another world.

And to them, this was indeed another world.

Even though they were a little fearful and uneasy, and were not too used to such a scene, everyone could clearly feel the vibrancy of this scene.

This was like the sunlight in ones soul, reflecting the sun in the sky.

This is the place where we will live, battle, and reproduce in the future? Derrick, Liaval, Candice, and the others subconsciously had similar thoughts. They felt a little uneasy but didnt reject any of it.

Danitz looked at their faces which had been stunned silly by Bayams bustling scene in satisfaction as he inwardly muttered, This is only Bayam. If you were to go to Trier and Backlund, are you going to kneel down and kiss the ground?

This world-famous pirate controlled his urge to mock them, as he was now Mr. Fools messenger. He couldnt ruin the image of a deity.

After leading the City of Silver people to a rather luxurious hotel, Danitz gestured for the crew to handle the check-in as he spoke in fluent Jotun to his guests:

Its getting dark. Well stay here for one night and leave the city tomorrow.

The place where you will build your city has been arranged. Its on the other side of the forest. Theres a natural harbor and a few roads that lead to Bayam. Heh, roads to this city. After that, well expand the main road and build a railway that leads to your city.

Railway... Derrick, who had studied during the Tarot Gathering, knew what it meant. He nodded gratefully and inwardly praised Mr. Fool once again.

Danitz continued,

Weve already helped you level the area, and left the space needed for some basic facilities such as water pipes and gas pipes. When you begin building houses, well send a team over to help with the matters.

Also, the corresponding construction materials and temporary tents have been prepared for you. Thank Mr. Fool. Uh, theres also the help of the Church of the Lord of Storms in this matter. Otherwise, we wouldnt have been able to purchase so much material. However, they mainly did so to earn additional funds.

The Rorsted new government hadnt been established for long, and its connections with the outside world werent comprehensive enough. What they didnt expect was that the Church of the Lord of Storms had taken the initiative to provide help on the City of Silvers matter.

Water pipes... Gas pipes... Derrick gradually couldnt understand what was being said, but he still put on a pensive expression.

There were a few times when Danitz nearly said the word dogsh*t in passing. Without speaking another word, he introduced the hotel:

This is a hotel that Feysacians like to live in at Bayam the most. The ceiling might be a little too low for you, but it wont be low enough to hit your heads.

With that said, Danitz smiled.

At the end of this street is Red Theater...

He revealed a smile that all men understood.

However, the people of the City of Silver didnt understand.

Seriously, the Emperor said that the most ancient human occupation is the selling of their bodies. They actually dont know what Im talking about... The corners of Danitzs mouth twitched as he gave up on the topic.

After his second and third mates were done with the check-in, he led the entourage up to the second floor and assigned them their rooms.

After doing this, he took out a stack of cards that he had long written, and he distributed them to the members of the City of Silver, who were scouting the area.

Every card has a few words in the local language and the corresponding word in Jotun. If you need any services or food, you can ring the bell here. When the attendant comes over, show him the card. Of course, they might not be able to understand it, but they will definitely seek help from people who understand it.

This was a simple and easy method to understand. The people of the City of Silver easily grasped how to use the cards, secretly excited that they could finally communicate with the people here.

Following that, Danitz demonstrated how to switch on the water and how to use the toilet, and how to light up the gas wall lamps. It made Derrick, Liaval, and Candice feel like they had arrived at a divine kingdom.

All it took to have water flow was to press a switch. A button was enough to wash away their excrement without leaving any stains. There was a lantern that kept emitting light once it was ignited. These were all things that they didnt dare to imagine in the past.

And these things would become part of their new lives.

By the time the City of Silvers members had gotten used to the hotel, the sky had completely darkened. Night had begun to rule the city.

Although Derrick and company had long confirmed that there was no danger of monsters attacking in the dark in the outside world, they were still instinctively afraid. Therefore, they would either emit light themselves or light up the gas wall lamps.

At that moment, they saw gas lamps lighting up one after another on the streets, the housesboth near and faroutside the glass windows. These lights dispersed the darkness in their respective areas.

In the eyes of the people of the City of Silver, the bright and dim lights were like the galaxy landing on the ground at night.
