Suddenly, a voice filled with annoyance resounded.
"Me?! I came to this place to buy dumplings before I leave immediately." Mojure frowned and said.
"Even if you want to buy a dumpling, you have to wait in line." The man standing at the front of the queue said with great displeasure: "Here, everyone has to line up."
"But it's just a dumpling, it won't take much time, can't we just buy it first?" Mojure said confusingly.
"That's right. If you only buy one dumpling, it won't take much time." said the man.
"Then why…"
"But look at the people standing in this place, no matter the amount of dumpling they want to buy, they are still waiting in line, so why don't you line up."
"But…"
The man didn't give Mojure a chance to explain as he quickly said: "This young man doesn't seem to know what the rules are. The law made by the king not only keeps this kingdom orderly and stable, but it also brings justice to everyone."
"If everyone breaks all the rules, then won't the kingdom be in chaos?"
Mojure wanted to say something but Lily grabbed his sleeve and shook her head.
Lily turned to the man and bowed her head, "Sorry, we'll be in line soon."
"Let's go, Mojure."
Mojure saw Lily giving him a disgruntled look and sighed, he then pushed the wheelchair to the end of the line, and waited for their turn.
When they reached the end of the queue, Mojure used magic to communicate with Lily: "Lily, why are you stopping me."
"Because I feel that the man is right. Every place has its own rules."
"Whether you are a priest or a king of another kingdom, when you come to this place, you must obey the laws of this place."
"If everyone doesn't do that, this place would be in chaos. look at the people queuing there… even if there's no one to manage this place, they'll line up on their own, without jostling."
"You call yourself a priest, and you say that your knowledge is much better than that of ordinary people so why can they obey the rules and you can't?"
Mojure felt a little embarrassed hearing that.
When Lily saw Mojure's expression she smiled and said, "Mojure, I know you're not a bad person, you're not like other priests or nobles."
"The way you look at the mixed-blooded person is very normal, without any contempt or ridicule."
"You are the first person I know to not look down on a mixed-blood. That's why I don't expect evil in your heart."
"A pure heart is what can bring you closest to divine truth. If you continue to hold that attitude, even if you don't realize it, others will gradually drift away from you."
Mojure forced a smile upon hearing that, he felt that Lily was right.
"Sorry, Lily, I was wrong."
Lily shook her head, "Don't say that. No one will accept their mistakes easily, you are a very brave person."
"Um! Thank you." Mojure laughed.
At this moment, he felt peace in his heart; it was as if something had just been broken, and wind gently erupted from his body .
However, the wind did not make other people uncomfortable, on the contrary, it made people feel extremely comfortable.
It brought great coolness and vital energy and anyone who felt the wind felt much stronger.
"You… have you reached the King rank?" Lily frowned and asked.
Mojure breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "To be more precise, I just broke through to the fourth tier of the King rank."
"The fourth tier?"
"That's right. Thanks to you opening my mind, I was able to break through from the 3rd tier, to the 4th tier of King rank."
"Congratulations..."
Hearing Lily's words, Mojure was not happy, on the contrary, he frowned and said: "Um… however, even after breaking through to the 4th tier of the King rank, I can still feel those menacing eyes looking at me."
Mojure said as he looked into the distance. This place had no sky because it still belonged to the unofficial residential area, so Mojure could only see fog.
However, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him, and the pressure was even more terrifying than when he had just arrived here.
"It seems… this place isn't as simple as I thought…"
"What 's up?" Lily asked suspiciously.
"There are at least two people much stronger than me. Even if I use my full strength, I won't be able to escape them."
Lily who heard Mojure's words also felt a little worried. However, she looked towards the people waiting to buy dumplings, and the people walking on the street, and even the Lizards guiding others…
She felt that this place wasn't as scary as she thought, but the problems surrounding this place, and the questions that popped into her head made her wary.
After all, what kind of place was this place?
…
About 5 minutes later, it was Mojure and Lily's turn. They walked to the front of the counter.
"How many dumplings do you want to buy?" The sales girl still greeted them with a smile as if nothing had happened.
Mojure also smiled amicably and said, "I want two."
The sales girl was suddenly surprised at Mojure's attitude, he seemed to have become a completely different person.
However, she still said nothing, as she continued her work. She was also one of the 20 girls who were saved by Norra, that's why she cherished her present life very much.
Even though it was a bit hard, compared to being a sex toy for male players or surviving in the fog with horrible monsters, this place was like a paradise.
Besides… everyday, she could see smiles on other people's faces, and this made her feel happy too.
The girl took two dumplings, gave them to Mojure, and asked, "Did you bring anything to carry food?"
"Carry the food? We have…"
"Wait!" Lily suddenly interrupted Mojure's words: "Why do you need utensils to take food?"
"Heh?!" The salesgirl felt strange hearing that, but she realized that these two were not residents of this place.
Also she recalled that 4,000 mixed-bloods had come to this place today, so she immediately realized why they didn't understand what she was saying.
"Did you just come here?"
Hearing the girl's question, Lily and Mojure nodded.
"So… have you read the announcement yet?"
"Announcement?" Mojure felt confused hearing that.
Lily now spoke up: "It's the announcement that the Lizard who led us told us to read about or have someone else read it to us."
Only then did Mojure realize that they had neglected to read the announcement.
"Ah! Looks like you haven't read the announcement yet. In the notice, it is said that each person should own a box used to store food, so that the food can be kept at the best temperature."
"Besides, your hands are also not clean, if you use your hands to handle food, you will very easily get sick."
At this moment, Lily's eyes suddenly lit up: "sick? Will you get sick if you handle food with your hands?"
"That's right. when you go to school, the teacher will teach you. If I explain it, it will take a lot of time and it will be difficult for you to understand."
Lily felt a bit disappointed hearing that, however, she still hoped to learn that knowledge from the place they called 'school'.
Although the odds that everything Shala said was true was almost zero, Lily was still hopeful.
For her nothing was more precious than the knowledge she did not know yet.
"This!"
Suddenly, the sales girl gave Mojure and Lily two small wooden boxes, about 20 cm in diameter.
"This is…"
Lily stammered a bit, Mojure didn't understand what happened, the girl explained: "Maybe you guys are hungry too, right. Don't worry, consider this as my gift to you."
"There are dumplings inside, when you are hungry, take it out and eat it. I know you don't have ID cards either, so you can't pay, so go ahead."
"When you have Tipoints, then you can return to this place to pay me."
Mojure and Lily looked at each other, then back at the sales girl, finding this too hard to believe.
"You… you trust me?" Mojure asked a little suspiciously.
The girl nodded, "Um..."
"But…"
"Haizz, don't talk too much, just take it." The girl urged.
"I have experienced being starved for days, tortured, and living in hell."
"At that time, I just wanted to die, I considered death as a release. However, I was wrong."
"Only as long as we are alive can we seek joy and happiness. Right now, I have everything I want."
"We can eat well, eat delicious food. I can see the smiles of people buying dumplings."
"We can help others to have a better life because we know that being hungry is a terrible feeling."
"Seeing you, it's like seeing my past self. Helping you is how I help myself. Don't worry too much, I trust you will come back."
As Mojure and Lily received the two wooden boxes from the girl's hands they were deeply moved.
Looks like… this girl also had a really bad time.
After Leaving the dumpling counter, Mojure pushed the wheelchair that Lily was sitting on, each of them had thoughts that were hard to say.
"That girl is pitiful." Lily held the wooden box in her hands, and gently stroked it as if it were a treasure.
"Um… luckily it seems her life is better now, or she doesn't know that danger is lurking around her." Mojure said, his gaze fixed on the distance.
If this place hadn't been manipulated by the Ivern tree, this place would have been like a paradise.
The two of them went to another gate, under the guidance of the werewolf guarding the gate, they knew where to register their ID card and it was not far away.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, the werewolf spoke up.
"What 's up?" Mojure asked, confused.
"Ah! It's nothing, I just wanted to say that after you pass through this gate, don't be surprised by everything."
"Surprise?" Mojure frowned in confusion, he thought in his heart that there was nothing in this world that could surprise him.
Lily also shook her head, ignoring the werewolf's instructions.
The two walked about five meters straight to a place filled with light.
Lily and Mojure both opened their mouths when they passed through the gate, their eyes widened as they looked up.
"That is… that is…"
The werewolf guarding the gate looked at Mojure and the petrified Lily standing in front of the gate and shook his head: "Haizzz, I told you not to be too surprised."
