Unless you have a special pass.

"Girl, you look like you are from this city, right?"

Just as Victoria was waiting in line for examination, an old voice came from behind her.

Victoria turned her head and saw a ragged, thin, hunched old man looking at her.

The old man's face was very dirty and his eyes were very cloudy. It was obvious that he had been struggling outside the region for many years.

"Why do you say that?"

Most people wouldn't even bother to pay attention to an old man with such dirty body, but Victoria still asked with a smile.

"Hehe, although I am old, I am still not blind. You are dressed so neatly and look so pretty. You can't survive in other places outside the domain."

After hearing Victoria's words, the old man smiled with his toothless mouth.

After hearing what the old man said, Victoria looked around and realized that among the people in the queue, she was the only one who was dressed brightly and cleanly.

Everyone else was covered in dust and looked malnourished.

There was numbness and indifference in those people's eyes. Victoria could feel the contempt for life in their eyes.

Before, she had only heard that life outside the domain was extremely miserable, but as a princess of the empire, she had never actually seen it. It was not until today that she discovered how the people here lived a life worse than that of pigs and dogs.

"Speaking of which, so many of us rushed here just to have a better chance of survival. There were more than a thousand of us in total, but in the end, only less than a hundred of us made it here alive."

The old man spoke in a nonchalant tone, words that made Victoria feel creepy.

More than a thousand people set out, but only less than a hundred people arrived here?

Such a terrible thing, but it seems to have become commonplace in the mouth of this old man.

Moreover, with a mortality rate of over 90%, what on earth has kept them going all the way here?

"Since there are so many casualties, why do you keep rushing here?"

Looking at the crowd slowly moving forward behind her, Victoria asked curiously.

Hearing this question, the old man looked at her strangely, as if he didn't quite understand what the girl was talking about.

Outside the domain, life is the least valuable. People keep dying, and it is easy to risk one's life for hope.

"Don't you understand? In the entire outer domain, there is only one city like this that can bring hope to people like us."

When he said this, the old man's eyes, which were originally extremely cloudy, suddenly became extremely bright at this moment.

He looked at the city in front of him with hope, as if this city was the ideal he had been pursuing all his life.

After hearing what the old man said, Victoria immediately stopped talking and stood aside silently.

Because she, the imperial princess who has always lived in the domain, has had the world's best resources since she was a child.

In her mind, all human lives are very important, and she cannot understand the idea that human lives are as worthless as grass.

Looking at the refugees pouring into the city, Victoria suddenly felt a sense of admiration for the founder of this city.

No matter what, he created a place full of hope for the people here outside this cruel and dark world.

"Excuse me, young lady, where are you from?"

After a while, the line stretched to Victoria.

However, unlike the previous refugees, Victoria's appearance obviously made the guards here full of vigilance.

They all put their hands on the hilts of their swords. The captain in charge of guarding the city gate stood up and asked in a cold voice.

Because it was really weird that such a beautiful and well-dressed girl suddenly appeared outside the domain.

Moreover, this girl seemed to be born with a noble temperament. Although she did not say anything, that unique temperament had been noticed by these soldiers.

To be honest, they have been wandering outside the domain for so long that even the imperial soldiers in the fortress would not make them feel this way.

In short, this girl is either a noble from the Empire or a noble from the dark race. No matter which one she is, she is not welcome in the city of Yas.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not an enemy. I'm a representative sent by the Empire to discuss cooperation with your city lord."

Victoria, who was stopped by the guards, did not panic at all and spoke softly with an impeccable smile.

To be honest, Victoria was not bragging. As the princess of the empire and the first heir to the throne, she did have the power to represent the empire at a certain time.

When Victoria saw this city for the first time, the idea of ​​cooperation came to her mind.

After all, she is a member of the royal family and has some political sensitivity.

"Representative of the Empire?"

The guard looked at Victoria with some suspicion. Now they really had no way out. After all, they couldn't confirm whether what the girl said was true or false.

"what happened?"

Just as the two sides were confronting each other, a beautiful girl wearing a black outfit and with her long fiery red hair tied into a high ponytail appeared in the crowd.

"Lady Leah."

When they saw the girl, all the guards bowed and saluted with a very respectful attitude.

"Leah?"

Looking at the beautiful and energetic girl in front of her, Victoria tilted her head and looked at her with some curiosity.

Because she actually felt a dangerous aura from this girl.

Chapter 53 I am here to discuss cooperation

"Lady Leah."

After seeing who was coming, all the guards bowed and saluted.

"what happened?"

Leia walked forward and asked curiously.

After all, there are still many people waiting to enter the city. What's the point of being stuck here?

"It is like this, Lady Leah. This girl claims to be an envoy from the Empire and is here to discuss cooperation with our city of Yas."

After hearing what Leah said, the captain of the guard quickly revealed Victoria's identity.

"An envoy from the Empire?"

When she heard the word "empire", a hint of displeasure clearly flashed across Leia's eyes, but she hid it cleverly.

"Why, the high and mighty empire wants to cooperate with lowly refugees like us?"

Leia's tone was unusually harsh, so harsh that it didn't seem like something she would say at all.

After all, outside the domain, neither dawn nor eternal night are good things, especially the descendants of the expelled refugees, who are even more hostile to the empire.

"Honorable Imperial Envoy, I think you may have come to the wrong place. No one here welcomes you!"

"We have been driven out by you to a cruel and dark territory. Are you going to take away our last habitat too?!"

"That's right! Get out! Get out of Yas City!"

When the refugees heard that Victoria was from the Empire, they all looked at her with hostility. Even the old man who had been happily chatting with Victoria before showed an expression of hatred and disgust.

As long as they are refugees from outside the territory, there is no one who does not hate the empire.

It can be said that the reason why the refugees outside the territory are living such a miserable life now is largely due to the empire.

"Ms. Leah, I think you have misunderstood. The Empire is here to cooperate with you, but you are the one who will benefit, not the Empire."

But Victoria is the princess of the empire after all. In such an environment, she still remains calm and smiles.

The existence of Yas City brings a whole new possibility to the outside world. If it can be tied to the chariot of the human race, then it will be absolutely beneficial to the human race without any harm.

The most important thing is that the current Yas City is far from being completed. Now is the time when it needs help the most, and their empire can fully provide it.

It would be great if I could meet the lord of this city.

Victoria said this with a smile on her face, thinking to herself.

After hearing what Victoria said, Leah obviously hesitated.

Although she didn't have a good impression of the empire, everything was just as this guy said.

Although the city of Yas is very prosperous now, Leia knows very well that if they cannot get the support of Dawn, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold outside the domain.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the village chief, but I can't guarantee what the outcome will be."

In the end, Leah was moved by Victoria's words.

She decided to take this annoying guy to see Village Chief Gary.

"Lady Leah, we haven't confirmed her identity yet!"

Seeing that Leia was planning to bring this man directly into the city, the captain of the guard shouted hurriedly.

After all, the so-called imperial envoy was just what this girl said herself, and who knows if she was telling the truth.

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her. If she makes any unusual movements, I will kill her immediately."

When she said this, there was even a hint of murderous intent in Leia's tone.

This is where teacher Elina poured her heart and soul into building this place, and it is also the home of all of them. Leah would never allow anyone to destroy it even at the cost of her life.

"Haha, it seems you are very confident."

Victoria sneered. She was provoked to this extent, and even if she had a good temper, she couldn't help it.

After all, she is the princess of the empire, the most talented among the younger generation of the human race, and a student of Teacher Elina.

She must be angry because she was provoked one after another by a guy who came out of nowhere outside the domain today.

"If you don't believe it, you can definitely give it a try."

In the face of Victoria's words, Leah did not back down at all, and her tone was cold and sharp.

In Leia's heart, she never considered the guys from the Empire as her own people.

"Come on, let's go see the village chief. I hope everything you said is true."

After saying that, Leah didn't even look at Victoria and walked towards the city alone.

Seeing this scene, Victoria had no choice but to follow. She also wanted to see who was the person who could create such a city.

······

Has the internal scale reached this extent?

After entering the city of Yas, Victoria realized that she had underestimated the city.

Here, all the streets and houses are flat and orderly, and even more primitive trading markets and entertainment facilities have begun to appear.

When these things appear in a city, it means that the city is on the right track.

However, what was a pity this time was that we did not see the military camp in Yas City.

The true strength of a city can often be seen from its military camp.

Hmm? Who is this?

When she walked to the Fountain Square in the center of the city, Victoria saw a huge statue.

The statue has a slender figure, a high ponytail and a bold posture. Unfortunately, there is a mask on her face, so it is unknown what she looks like.

But for some reason, this statue gave Victoria a familiar feeling.

"We're here. Village Chief Gary is inside. Go talk to him about the cooperation you mentioned."

Victoria observed the entire environment inside the city of Yas while following Leah forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Leah stopped in front of a wooden house.

"Is this where your city lord works? It's too shabby."

Looking at the small wooden house in front of her, which was not luxurious but even a bit simple, Victoria found it a little unbelievable.

"Dong dong dong."

Leah had no intention of answering Victoria's words and simply knocked on the wooden door.

In her heart, she had long lost her good feelings towards this mysterious girl. If it weren't for the sake of the entire city, Leia would not have brought this girl in.

"Please come in."

Not long after, an old voice was heard from inside the door.
