After Khal and the others finished eating, Tang En went to inform Aubry and the others about the following matters. After confirming that the distribution of weapons and armor was proceeding in an orderly manner, he brought Eluri, Khal, and the others back to Ellington.
"Oh my God! What is that? "
After stepping out of the portal, Khal and the others were in disbelief.
Compared to last year, Ellington had undergone earth-shattering changes. There weren't many pedestrians on the originally orderly streets, but after a year of development, Ellington's population had grown by leaps and bounds under the promotion of policies that encouraged employment and childbirth. Now, the people on the streets were clearly much denser.
But what was even more inconceivable was the huge metal square boxes passing through the streets. Many people were sitting inside, looking very leisurely and contented.
"Wait! I know what that is! "
Khal suddenly exclaimed. "That's the city bus that Tang Daily News mentioned a while ago. It must be that, right?"
Tang En nodded with a smile. "That's right."
Compared to Alinx, Ellington had more commuters and was further away from work, so the acceptance of the public bus was clearly higher. The public bus had only been opened for a short while, but people had already fallen deeply in love with this method of travel.
They only needed to spend a little more than ten copper coins every day to easily reach their destination. Why not?
If they rode their own bicycles or Harley-Davidson motorcycles, they would have to endure the wind and sun. Who would be willing to bask in the sun in the summer?
After the average income had increased several times and they no longer had to suffer for food, Ellington's residents' consumption concept had clearly changed. They were more willing to spend some money that their economic conditions permitted to improve their lives.
Of course, this was also due to Tang En's deliberate manipulation of Tang Daily News. Otherwise, many people would have hidden their gold coins under their bed for the rest of their lives.
In the past, because people liked to hide their money like this, the currency circulating in the market became fewer and fewer. The country had no choice but to continuously issue more currency to satisfy the demand, causing the total amount of currency in the market to far exceed the economic level. Otherwise, where did the tens of billions of gold coins in the Star Diamond Bank come from? Just the weight of these gold coins alone was enough to make people flabbergasted.
"I only read about it in the newspaper, but I didn't expect it to be popularized in Ellington!"
Khal had a look of amazement as he watched the bus filled with passengers leave, as well as the Harley-Davidson motorcycles and bicycles speeding across the road. At the end of the flat road were traffic lights and traffic police directing traffic. All kinds of novel things dazzled them.
Khal felt like he was witnessing the dawn of a new era.
"Of course. When there is a market demand, the corresponding products will naturally be born."
Tang En smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll ask Tina to arrange your accommodation. Go register today and take a rest. When you wake up tomorrow, you can go and receive your benefits. We'll leave after a little preparation."
"Benefits? What benefits? "
Although Khal didn't care, his brothers cared a lot.
"For example, the standard equipment of Ellington, the Iron Slash Sword, the Chainsword, the second generation of buffer armor, the Return Crystal, the Blood of the Goddess, and so on … Oh, you've caught a good opportunity. The magic pistols will be mass-produced soon as well. When we return from the Ryan Empire, you should be able to get your hands on them."
Every time Tang En mentioned something, Khal and the others' breathing quickened. By the end, they were so excited that their faces were flushed. They didn't know how to express their excitement.
In the previous underground world, they had seen how well-equipped the Ellington warriors were and how complete their rations were. They had long been jealous of those things. Now that they had joined Ellington, they didn't expect to receive the same treatment immediately.
Khal's subordinates had never been so glad that they had made the right choice.
Seeing that others could receive the same treatment, Mongo Kahn and Ursa were so envious that their eyes turned red.
"Damn it!"
Mongo Kahn cursed. "Even I can't help but want to join Ellington!"
Ursa agreed. There were too many benefits to joining Ellington. He was also very tempted.
However, even though Ellington had dwarves, gnomes, elves, goblins, elemental creatures, and even Nagas and Nutao Murlocs, as an orc, he couldn't bring himself to join a human country.
Tang En found Tina. "Your Majesty." She hurriedly stood up and bowed. "You're back?"
She knew that Tang En had been called by Aurelia to reinforce the camp in the Great Rift Valley.
"Yes, come with me."
Tina's face was filled with happiness as Tang En held her hand.
"Eh?"
Khal saw Tina. "Isn't this Miss Tina from the underground world?"
"Commander Khal."
Tina was also very surprised.
Khal smiled bitterly. "Commander Khal doesn't exist anymore."
Looking at Tina's puzzled expression, Tang En explained, "From today onwards, Khal and his subordinates have all joined Ellington. Register them and then arrange for their accommodation and welfare. Don't let them join the guards for now. I'll be taking them out for a trip in the next two days."
"I understand. Do I need to inform Sister Fiona?"
"No need. She's busy recently."
Fiona was busy setting up the Tang Dynasty mobile communication system. How would she have time to pay attention to these trivial matters?
Therefore, Tina immediately started registering their information.
"Wait! Putting aside the name, age, gender, birthplace, occupation, marital status, and spouse's name? "
"This is mainly related to the Ellington citizen registration system," Tina explained.
"After we've registered your information, we'll create crystal identification cards for you. This is a necessity for your life in Ellington. It'll be used in many places. As for whether you're married or not, please fill in truthfully. If necessary, we'll organize a blind date for unmarried men and women … "
"Blind date …"
The former mercenaries all looked as if they had seen a ghost. What the hell was this?
"Don't be greedy!"
Tang En said angrily from the side, "You don't know how good this welfare policy is. Food, accommodation, and a wife are all provided. Where else can you find such good welfare?"
After Tang En said that, those guys came to a sudden realization. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. They ate the wind and drank the dew every day. How would they have the time to get to know girls? Now that they were working for Tang En Majesty, it was a rare thing to be able to settle their marriage!
Therefore, those guys were all excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. One by one, they took the initiative to fill in their detailed information. Some even wrote down their height, weight, current savings, and fixed assets. There were also a few who asked Tina when the blind date would be organized after filling in the information. They couldn't wait to start the blind date immediately.
While the others were registering their information, Tang En ran to find Vanilla.
"What!?"
Vanilla stared at Tang En very warily. She subconsciously wrapped her clothes tightly around herself. She was secretly glad that she hadn't taken a shower yet.
The sudden appearance of Twain the last time had given her a fright.
"Uh, you don't have to be so nervous."
Tang En complained before saying, "Come with me for a moment. Mongo, Kahn, and Ursa are here."
"They're here? To Ellington? "
Vanilla was stunned. What kind of joke was this? There had been no news for so long, and they came to Ellington as soon as Tang En said he was going to the Ryan Empire?
"Uh, actually, it's quite a coincidence."
Tang En told Vanilla what happened this morning as he walked with her. After knowing the cause and effect, Mao Cilang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who would have thought that it would be so coincidental?
"Yo!"
Mongo Kahn waved at Vanilla. "Long time no see!"
"Long time no see indeed."
Vanilla sighed. "If I knew that you two were so unreliable, I wouldn't have waited for you."
Vanilla had saved a lot of money in Ellington for more than a year. At least, it was enough for her to travel back to the Ryan Empire. However, it was inconvenient for orcs to travel in human countries. She had been waiting for Mongo Kahn and Ursa to go with her. She didn't expect these two guys to be so unreliable.
"Ha, ha, we didn't expect it to take so long."
Mongo Kahn giggled and then said, "But this time, Tang En Majesty is going to the Ryan Empire. We can go together."
"That's right, but …"
Vanilla looked at Tang En with eyes full of questions.
Tang En shook his head. "I haven't told them yet."
"What's the matter?"
Vanilla said calmly, "He's going to the Ryan Empire to look for shamans."
"Shamans?"
The smile on Mongo Kahn's face disappeared. He frowned slightly. "Tang En Majesty, why do you want to look for them? Forgive my rudeness, but those ignorant guys are like a group of uncivilized primitive orcs. They only believe in what they want to believe and refuse to change or communicate with anyone. "
Mongo Kahn and Ursa were both believers of Calomaref, the God of Fire. Of course, they didn't have any good feelings about shamanism.
Tang En was stunned. "I find it hard to believe that you would give such a poor evaluation of your compatriots."
"Compatriots?"
Ursa also chuckled in a low voice. "We treat them as compatriots, but they don't necessarily treat us as compatriots … In their eyes, orcs who don't follow shamanism are all traitors. They should all be tied to stones and burned to death."
Mongol Kahn nodded. "Every year, many remote villages in the Ryan Empire are invaded by the Shamans. Many children are taken away and taught the teachings of the Shamans. Adult orcs are burned to death if they don't want to surrender. Once they join, they can't leave for life."
"Extreme shamanism?"
Tang En frowned. Shouldn't shamanism be gentle and aloof from worldly affairs? Why was it different when it came to Prandal?
Didn't the will of the universe cause trouble this time?
Didn't the world shamans come here to save the orcs?
