"Keep in line . Don't push!" a Graycastle clerk wearing a black uniform yelled as he pushed his way through the crowd . "Remember the number on your boarding pass and go to the corresponding checkout . Make sure you go to the correct one!"

Manfeld, still flabberaghasted, was pushed onto the dock .

He saw the whole port lie before him .

It was the largest port he had ever seen . The dock stretched away along the bank and disappeared at the end of the horizon . Unlike the damp, moldy port he usually saw, this dock was clean and tidy . The pavement was covered with white slabs . Thousdands of ships traveled back and forth . Even the port in the Kingdom of Dawn was incomparable to this one .

Many people gasped at this magnificent scene . However, Menfeld was still in such an immense shock that he was now emotionally numb after he had seen the flying iron birds .

Manfeld constantly looked backward in the direction he had come, in a hope of seeing the iron birds again . Instinctively, he wanted to convince himself that it was not a delirious illusion .

But by the time he reached the trestle, he had still not seen them .

Manfeld was a little disappointed .





"Please have your boarding pass ready and go to the corresponding checkout according to the three digit number on the pass!" Many people were shouting through a strange metal object at the refugees, their voice amplified by multiple times, so that everyone in the crowd could hear them clearly . "Please follow the guide and go through the security check . Welcome to the king's city of Graycastle . We welcome every one of you!"

Manfeld calmed himself down and put away his thoughts .

He thought it was a very strange way to welcome new people because the refugees did not come to Graycastle willingly . Everything these Graycastle men had done in the Kingdom of Wolfheart was, in a way, a sort of dictatorship . Yet, surprisingly, he found himself a lot more self-assured after hearing these words .

The towering cliff suddenly caved in at this point and formed a natural outpost . The refugees formed a long line behind it and slowly proceeded to the checkouts in various directions . There were more than 10,000 people at the dock area, and apparently, not all of them were from the Kingdom of Wolfheart . What astonishing national power that was to bring so many people from the three kingdoms together in such a short period of time!

Just then, the refugees stopped moving, and Manfeld heard a commotion from behind .

Not only the people waiting in line but also the clerks in black maintaining the order were surprised .

Manfeld turned around and saw a colossal ship slowly dock . It was long and made of metal . There were no paddles on either side of the ship, its freeboard aloft and straight . Nobody would ever miss noticing such a superb ship . It was evident, however, that the Graycastle men was not astounded at the ship itself but the way it looked .

"Are they mental? I can't believe that they use iron to build ships!" someone around Manfeld muttered in disbelief . "Don't they know that iron will rust after in contact with water?"





"Perhaps the King of Graycastle wants to show off his wealth . The iron ship does look pretty nice . I didn't believe that such heavy things could float in water before I saw the concrete boat . "

"What's the point in making such a wonderful ship when it can only last half a month? I used to sail on the sea and know a lot about ships . Seawater erodes ships far more quickly than you could possibly imagine . Regular paints won't last long . You see, this is what they've got in the end . "

Rusts could be seen all over the iron ship . Its body, which had once been polished and shiny, was now bumpy and damaged, which created a glaring constrast with the neat dock . The mast above was snapped and broken into several pieces . The ship was shuffling with great difficulties toward the dock like an exhausted, withered sea monster that had entered its decrepitude .

Did King Roland Wimbledon really intend to show off by building a ship like this?

The men in black immediately elbowed their way through the crowd for the sailors on the ship . Manfeld had a vague feeling that things were not that simple .

Peace was soon restored, and the refugees started to march forward again .

When it was his turn, the clerk only confirmed his name and number before he let Manfeld pass .

After 30 people passed the security check, a man walked up to them and said, "I'm a clerk working at the Administrative Office of Neverwinter . My name is Matt . I'll assist you in settling down in the city for the time being . I know you must have a lot of questions, but please don't worry . I'll explain to you in detail on the way to the residential area . Now, please drink the Cleansing Water on the table first . It can cure the demonic plague if you're infected . If you aren't, just view it as a tasty beverage . "

"Do we have to follow you?" someone questioned . "We're now Graycastle residents, too . We should be allowed to go wherever we want . Don't you think so?"





"You'll only become His Majesy's subjects after you receive your identification cards," Matt replied while shaking his head . "Usually, people can apply for identification cards after having one to two years of working experience, provided that they don't break the Graycastle law . However, you're all skilled workers, so you can immediately become an official Graycastle resident after passing the psychological test . However, the examination officer is quite busy . Since there are so many applicants, you'll have to wait for two to three days . "

"Psychological test? Isn't it just a screening process?"

"You'll know it when you take the test," Matt answered with a smile . "We focus on your present and future rather than your past . I became a city clerk after I passed the same test . Now, please drink the water and follow me . "

Manfeld thought this must be the "lie detector test" that the coachman had mentioned .

Matt did answer a lot of their questions that the refugees were most concerned about, such as what work they would have in the future, their salaries, etc . According to the policy implemented by the King of Graycastle, the refugees would be treated equally as the locals once they obtained their resident status .

Matt also shared his personal experience and told them how he had gradually adapted to the new life here, which greatly alleviated them .

When they entered a residential area in the suburb, a roar of laughter caught everybody's attention .

Manfeld then saw some refugees corner a woman and slowly approach her . Many people saw the incident happen but nobody came up to stop them . Somebody was even egging them on, looking tempted to join them .

"Damn it . Why do these things happen everywhere?"

Manfeld had thought that Neverwinter would be different .

Frowning, he asked, "Did anyone inform the guards in black?"

Matt had told them earlier that the men in black had replaced the previous patrol team and were called the police . Manfeld was not sure whether they were reliable, but it seemed that there was no better way at the moment .

However, nobody took action . "Young man, don't meddle with this matter . You'll still have to live here for a few days before moving to the inner city . "

"That's right . If those scumbags come to avenge, they won't do you any good . "

"You — " Manfeld said . His voice suddenly abandoned him . Then he looked toward Matt and said, "I'll hold them back . You go and inform those guards!"

But Matt grasped his hand and slightly shook his head .

In an instant, Manfeld felt utterly disappointed .

He wrenched himself away and pronounced each word slowly, "I thought it'd be different here in Neverwinter from the other kingdoms, but I was wrong . " With these words, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed toward the crowd .
