Monster Minotaur

The sailors quickly completed all the inspections, which was not difficult for them. After all, Aruba had already examined them at the beginning, and all people with infectious diseases were excluded. The examination at this pass was just a routine matter.

They rested for half a day in the hotel in the camp and had their documents after lunch. On the parchment cut into square shapes, there are various strange laces that are said to be used to prevent counterfeiting. On this document are their names, ages, genders, some general descriptions of appearance, and the reasons for coming to the New Elamite Federation. and reasons, and finally stamped with a seal of the New Elamite Federation's Western Twenty-Fifth Pass.

All the information they fill out at this pass will be sent to the nearest city as their entry information for future inspection if necessary. This makes it impossible for people who enter the federation without going through the pass to withstand thorough inspection even if they have forged documents. After a certain amount of rest, the sailors who had obtained their documents set off and continued on their way.

And after arriving at a village, we obtained a few carriages and loaded some disabled people with limited mobility and poor physical strength into the carriages, which significantly accelerated the speed of the team. When they first saw the need to use a carriage, these sailors were very surprised. After all, considering the rugged mountain roads in Elam, using a carriage was not as fast as walking.

But soon these people who had never been to the New Elamite Federation knew that they were wrong. Although the road they took was still very rugged, it was very smooth, covering the entire road like a single white road. Halfway through their journey, they saw how this different road was made.

On the way to Thunder Bluff, which was still two days away, they saw a group of goblins holding various tools in their hands and repairing the damaged path under the leadership of a gray dwarf. Pieces of relatively flat stone were filled into the damaged holes, then filled with a strange-looking gray mud, and finally smoothed out with pieces of smooth wood.

On the way to Thunder Bluff, they saw caravans using horse-drawn carriages. This was more than they had seen anywhere. The commercial prosperity of New Elam was unmatched anywhere. When they were resting on the roadside and asked a merchant why there were so many merchants on the road, the information they got could be summed up in three words: low taxes, good roads, and safety.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is a common saying about a place. If you want to make money quickly, it is the most basic condition. Thunder Bluff has never given up on upgrading roads. At the beginning, it only used gravel and sand collected nearby. Carry out road leveling, reinforce and widen some dangerous road sections, and cut down some trees that have grown to obstruct the road.

With the continuous development of Thunder Bluff, various supplies have also become abundant. Cement factories were built in various cities, so Thunder Bluff began to use cement and stone to build roads to ensure that the roads were as smooth and fast as possible. At the same time, Thunder Bluff has low taxes on business, and every once in a while, monster legions will clean up wild monsters near the roads.

This made commerce within the entire New Elamite Federation extremely prosperous, and the deployment of various supplies was so fast that the city lords of other cities could only dream about it. They don't have the abundant funds like Thunder Bluff, nor do they have the technology to produce cement in Thunder Bluff, so they can only look forward to this expensive project.

Soon the sailors arrived at Thunder Bluff. In front of the tall and majestic city gate, there were many craftsmen hanging ropes on the two boulders that had just been transported. Aruba, who led them to Thunder Bluff, had to play the role of a tour guide to explain it to these old sailors who had never been to Thunder Bluff.

The two boulders will be carved into the image of two warriors holding swords. They are humans and gray dwarves. These two races are now the most numerous in Thunder Bluff. They complement each other with the bull heads originally built on the city gate. Although the official explanation is that the three races coexist harmoniously, others think that the other two races are protecting the tauren.

On the outskirts of the city of Thunder Bluff are various large-scale factories. This is the main area where the Salters and Gray Dwarves work in the city. Almost every day, the towering chimneys of the factories emit billowing black smoke, even if they do not enter the factory. You can also hear the tinkling sound of iron and the whistles of some large steam engines that have just been assembled.

The tauren who recently commanded Thunder Bluff are planning to build a satellite city not far from Thunder Bluff and move all these noisy and unsightly heavy industries there. Although the various machines are running, it looks like a fortress at first glance, but after a long time, it will become boring.

After walking for a while, there is a light industrial area. There are vodka brewing factories, spider silk cloth dyeing factories, candy factories and other factories founded by Tauren, as well as some workshops of Satyrs or gray dwarves themselves, all kinds of strange things. The fragrance mixes in the air and floats on the wind. These sailors who have been drinking alcohol for half their lives are very familiar with the smell of alcohol. Only Thunder Bluff can produce this kind of wine that can be smelled even if the alcohol is not visible.

Continuing along the straight main road, next is the main living area of ​​​​Sarts and gray dwarves. Among the two-story houses of the same style, there are some newly completed houses of other styles. Although Thunder The houses distributed by Ya are very practical, but they are not as beautiful as square boxes.

Salters or gray dwarves who don't like that style will usually choose to rebuild it after saving enough money. It doesn't take long to earn money to build houses. The salary of Thunder Bluff craftsmen is the highest in all of Elam. As long as you have a job in Elam, it won't take long to become one of the richest people in Elam. This is why many people are now trying to come to Thunder Bluff.

This is my favorite area. Aruba led these sailors on the bustling Tauren Avenue, pointing to some shops that were not open yet and said: This is the entertainment area of ​​Thunder Bluff. , and these are the pubs that are not open yet. If you want to drink, you can only come at night. Thunder Bluff stipulates that pubs can only be open at night, and they do not support take-out alcohol.

Salters and gray dwarves are both races who like to drink. It is not uncommon for things to be delayed or accidents caused by alcoholism in Thunder Bluff. So Mo Yan had to order rectification, and issued a decree that stipulated that ordinary people were not allowed to have more than three bottles of white wine in their homes, and that low-alcohol mead was not allowed to have more than one keg. Initially, those who violated this decree would be fined thirty silver. Those who violate the rules three times without repentance will be expelled from Thunder Bluff.

Hearing this news, these sailors who immediately went to the tavern to drink alone as soon as they had a little money were slightly disappointed. In their opinion, there seemed to be nothing else to do except drink when they had nothing to do. . How to spend your free time on weekdays? The following introduction to Aruba solved their confusion.

Since it is an entertainment area, of course it cannot only be a pub. There are various entertainment facilities within the entire circular area of ​​Thunder Bluff Entertainment District. The Demon Fighting Field is open every day to provide viewing of gladiatorial games. Many of the various delicacies are what sailors have never seen before, and there are dramas of all sizes. Various plays are performed in the performance hall. Recently, an opera troupe has been stationed in Thunder Bluff, performing some popular operas among the Central Plains people. The large stadium in the entertainment area will host large-scale competitions from time to time. Thunder Bluff has entertainment and pastimes that are not available in the entire continent.

After a brief visit to Thunder Bluff, these sailors were temporarily arranged into a hotel. All the sailors were already full of hope for their future. Although they don't know what the monsters in Thunder Bluff are looking for, this wise leader must have his own ideas, and they just need to obey the arrangements.

Aruba, who had been working hard for more than a month, after settling the sailors, returned to his home to take a quick shower and change into clean clothes. He went to the White House to report the results to Mo Yan, but when he opened the door of Mo Yan's office, he saw a scene he had never imagined in his life.

In the Minotaur's office, the Minotaur was just like holding a large doll, hugging and kissing Emily, who was much smaller than the Minotaur's huge body. Although in fact the Minotaur's big mouth did not open, it just connected with Emily's lips. It can be seen from Emily's arms holding the Minotaur's neck that this kiss was an active attempt by the girl.

But in Aruba's view, this was not the case. He ignored all these factors. The only space left in the world was where Emily and the Minotaur's lips met, and everything else was dark. A shell craft he bought in a coastal city to give to Emily fell from his hands and fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

This sound alarmed the tauren who was shocked in his heart. He quickly let go of his arms and let Emily come down. Looking at Aruba standing at the door, he felt a little strange. Although he can be said to have a clear conscience, and Aruba and Emily are actually brother and sister, but he doesn't know what's going on... It feels like he was discovered by the husband of the other party when he stole someone.

Brother... listen to my explanation. Emily looked at Aruba's face that started to turn red, and the bloodshot eyes slowly gathering and shouted quickly: Nothing happened to us... It's just... just... It was just a kiss...a kiss! And it was me...

Ah ah ah ah ah……
