The gluttonous dragon starts from the plane of hell

Chapter 159
"Dad... Mom... I'm so hungry."

"..."

As for their own daughter, the men and women who looked equally thin could only force a smile.

"Hey... hold on a little longer..."

"I can't walk anymore."

"..."

"Just... hold on."

This kind of consolation is indeed very reluctant...

The haggard mother raised her head and looked at the fleeing team composed of about forty people... No matter who it was, there was no trace of blood on their faces.

It has been more than two months since the melting phenomenon appeared on the eastern border and they left their homes.

In the cities along the way, there are not many refugees who are willing to accept them, and many of them are selectively accepted.

The 40 of them were the ones who were not accepted.

At the beginning, the team of hundreds of people was gradually reduced due to various reasons... The remaining more than 40 people are undoubtedly survivors.

As a non-professional without any power, whether it is a molten demon, a robber with malicious intentions, or even an ordinary beast...

are enough to deprive them of their lives.

……

Perhaps, Beigang City is their last hope... If Beigang City cannot accept them, then it will be difficult for them to persist to the next destination.

Of course, they all knew that whether it was Beigang City or the cities to which other kingdoms belonged, they were all allowed to enter the city.

Um, except for the two main cities.

Unlike aristocratic territories, these cities directly under the kingdom are usually open in meaning, and it is impossible to keep refugees out.

But just [letting them enter the city] is obviously impossible...

These refugees are farmers, they have been farmers for generations, farmers who know nothing but farming.

They couldn't survive if they weren't allotted fields, or arranged for people to teach them to fish, to weave, and so on.

Therefore, the only thing that can keep them alive is that "acceptance" is not "allowing to enter the city", but working for the city.

……

Even though they were hungry and it became more and more difficult to move their feet, the couple still gradually approached Beigang City with their children.

Everyone in the fleeing team saw Beigang City not far away, and stepped on the corpses that hadn't been cleaned up by the roadside with hope in their eyes.

Carefully bypassed the coyotes who were feasting.

Then, finally came to the guard guarding the gate...

"Mr. Knight, we are from Cersei, our city was destroyed by some demons, and now we have nowhere to go."

"Yes, can you give us a job?"

In response, the guards looked at each other.

Then one of them made a routine inquiry: "Excuse me, are there any professionals among you?"

These words made the hearts of the refugees sink to the bottom of the valley.

They have heard it so many times...

"..."

And for the silence of these refugees, the knights sighed one after another... They have seen such silence too many times.

"I'll inform you...but please don't get your hopes up."

Although the knight guarding the gate said so, the refugees still showed hopeful expressions... which put a lot of pressure on the knights.

I really didn't expect that Cersei City also encountered a meltdown disaster...

It took a long time to rush all the way from Cersei City to North Harbor City. These refugees must have experienced a lot of hardships.

Unfortunately, they can't do anything... The same is true for Beigang City.

Naturally, there is no problem in accepting these people, even if the refugees in Beigang City are already saturated... But what about the next group of people?
What about the next batch of refugees?
Under the crisis, no city, and no one person can confidently guarantee that it can survive alone.

"Sorry, the residents of Beigang City are already saturated... You can find some jobs after entering the city, but Beigang City can't help you too much."

"..."

In the end, the knights could only give them this answer... He looked at the struggling refugees and sighed helplessly.

In the current Beigang City, there are really no jobs, and many jobs are done by adventurers and professionals.

These refugees might starve to death in Beigang City.

But not necessarily, because a certain street in Beigang City has been recruiting people, but only young and beautiful girls can do that job.

Well, it's not impossible for other people to do it hard, but they probably won't make money.

Besides, that is not a good way out...

"If you still insist on living, I suggest you go to the Northern Territory, where...it is more tolerant to people without special skills."

One knight said so, and the others agreed.

Now the Northern Territory has gained a little reputation in the north... After all, the boss is a dragon, so this is enough to talk about.

Although it is a closed aristocratic collar, some are not sure about the specific situation.

However, the Northern Territory has always been accepting refugees. It may have just experienced melting not long ago, and the population needs to be redeveloped.

Of course, it is also possible that after His Royal Highness disappeared, he had some ambitions, so the population continued to expand.

It's all possible, but for these guys right now...

Whether there is objection, whether they will be assigned heavy work, is no longer something they have the time to consider.

----------

"Mr. Knight, and Miss Elf, we are from Cersei, our city was destroyed by some demons, and now we have nowhere to go."

The knight sitting in front of the table nodded to the vagrant who said that, took out a quill and dipped it in ink.

Start writing something on a piece of parchment...

"Are you going to join the Northern Territory?"

While asking this question, the knight of the Northern Territory counted the number of refugees, and after getting an affirmative answer, he began to record the number of people.

Gender, race, approximate age...

"You can enter the city, as long as you obey the management, food and housing will be provided by the Northern Territory... Line up and I'll register."

The knight's words reassured everyone, and even many people collapsed on the spot. It was very difficult for them to maintain their balance and not fall to the ground.

Just what is [registration]?
"To put it simply, I'm asking you a few questions, recording your identities and where you came from... It's a rule set by our boss."

The knight explained tirelessly, and then began to ask the couple in front of him: "What are your names? And what are you doing in Cersei City?"

"..."

Although there are very strange rules, it is great that the Northern Territory is willing to accept them... Asking about the previous work, is it convenient to arrange them?

"I'm Michau, she's my wife Holly, we're both farmers, and this is our daughter Tiva."

Regarding the man's answer, the knight asked while writing: "Are you literate? If you can't read...do you want to become a professional?"

"???"

Does this have anything to do with it?Why do you have to be a professional if you can't read?Let us husband and wife go directly to farming, can't we?but……

Professionals...professionals...

……

Along the way, whether it is a noble land or other cities, the gatekeepers will always ask them - are you professionals?

Perhaps this kind of thing written as [occupation] and pronounced as [strength] is really such an important thing.

If you can, seriously...if you can.

For 【Want to be a professional? ] Such a question...

"I want to, I really want to!"
