Erub.

The capital of the glorious republic.

With its overall area nearly doubled on the original basis, the Alub Dome is already the well-deserved "humanity's first dome structure"!

The newly built "Pillar of Eternity" axis mast to commemorate Victory Day took over the "Brightness of Life" and is called the new main support structure of Erub.

Such a splendid human miracle stands on the plains. Even if it is hundreds of kilometers away, you can still clearly see its elegance.

Filim's heart was racing as he sat on the bridge. Although he remembered that he had felt the shock given to him by the Elub dome more than once, today, Erub still made Firim involuntarily yearn for it.

‘Is this the future?’ Li Shaoan sighed in his heart.

The other self answered him: 'Yes, this is the future! It is a hard-won future that has gone through many ups and downs!'

…

There are seventeen free trade ports in Erub, but only two of them are open to freemen.

Oakham and his Sixth Convoy usually choose to berth at Freeport No. 15 because it is the closest to the bustling area. During the cargo loading and unloading stage, Oakham and his men can enter Ai with tourist identity certificates.

Luber's open event area is a bit cool.

But today, Oakham chose Freeport No. 9, which he rarely went to, as if he was consciously trying to avoid someone.

In fact, ever since Oakham blatantly disobeyed the Great Sage's orders and caused the round-up plan to fail, he has not been able to calm down for a moment along the way.

Not only was the great sage constantly reprimanding and asking Oakham why he made such an unwise choice, the arbitrators also came to the door, seeming to want the "free people" to pay the price.

But Oakham didn't care about this. First of all, he knew that the Great Sage would not really accuse him, because the rights of the Great Sage were given by all free people, and as the most glorious "pioneer" among the free people,

"Occam doesn't have to worry about being punished for protecting his men.

As for the arbiter.

Perhaps the disciples and those citizens of the glorious republic who were targeted by the arbiters would be afraid of these mad dogs, but the "free people" never bowed their heads before this group of people.

At least that's been the case for the past five years.

As for five years ago, Felim has a bloody past in his memory.

The arbiters also used unfounded charges to put pressure on the "free people", but the result was one resistance after another, ultimately costing the lives of more than 3,000 "free people" and 170 nameless arbiters.

, the "free people" have been respected and recognized all over the world.

Perhaps this kind of recognition is somewhat painful, but Oakham will never forget his brother who sacrificed his life for this.

…

"It's just that you're late, but you actually changed the trading location temporarily. What's wrong? Are you kidding us?" The fat man smoked a cigar to express his dissatisfaction.

Filim knew this guy. He was an inconspicuous one among the many "garbage" recyclers in the Erub Dome, but he always thought he was very powerful.

In this scene, after he blew out smoke at Oakham, Oakham did not move, and the guards behind him beat the fat man and everyone around him to the ground.

When the fat man begged for mercy, Oakham said coldly: "If I report to the arbiters that you have dealings with the disciples, what do you think will happen to you?"

The fat man’s face was swollen, but it was just physical pain. After hearing Oakham’s words, he turned pale with fright: “Brother! Please! I’m just a small business! I’ll die if you do this

!”

Oakham took a deep breath and looked up at the people who were receiving the goods. They were all standing in the distance watching the excitement.

"roll."

Oakham was in a terrible mood now.

The fat man crawled away, but before leaving, he did not forget to take away the batch of "garbage" he had ordered. After all, he had paid for it...

In the past, delivery matters were left to his subordinates. When Oakham arrived in Elub, he would go find his secret girlfriend.

This is a "secret" that everyone knows, probably only Oakham's wife doesn't know.

Felim saw that he didn't have a secret meeting with his girlfriend today, so he came over with a smile and asked, "What's wrong? You won't go to see Shui'er today?"

Oakham was thinking about something. He smiled when he heard this and said, "I remember you always advised me before. Why am I not in a hurry today, but you are quite anxious?"

Felim raised his eyebrows: "That's not what I meant. I just saw that you were unhappy, so I asked."

Oakham nodded, took out a cigarette and lit one. When he handed it to Philim, Philim didn't take it.

"?"

"Stop doing."

"Quit? Hiss..." Ockham stood up straight and looked at Felim with a frown and said, "Actually, I've already felt strange."

"Huh?" Ferim's heart trembled, but he pretended to be calm.

"You and the proprietress of the snack shop... are more than just friends, right?"

The proprietress of the snack shop... Felim thought for a moment.

He did remember such a person, but the impression was not deep. It seemed that Oakham was overthinking.

However, Felim hesitated and said: "Wha... what kind of snack shop? You... don't talk nonsense."

Oakham chuckled: "Okay, let's go and have a drink."

After saying that, he patted Firim on the back and walked out.

…

As he wished, he got on the sightseeing bus to the interior of Erub. On the bus, Filim felt like a foreigner traveling abroad, and he was very curious about everything around him.

There are many pedestrians walking on the street, but most of them are floating forward on a ring.

Of course, there are also very few options for hiking.

There are many vehicles passing by, but very few flying in the air. This is very different from the future that Filim imagined.

Because the identity certificates are temporary, Philim and Oakum cannot go to the inner areas of Erub, and can only move around in the outermost open areas.

But this is enough for Philim.

Especially when the sightseeing bus comes near the man-made bay, from here, Philim can see the splendor of the "Pillar of Eternity"!

It is like a bright white sky, with graceful arc-shaped tracks on the left and right sides, straight into the clouds. Even from a long distance, you can feel its hugeness and majesty.

About half an hour passed.

At about 11 o'clock at noon, Philim and Oakham arrived at the "food court".

Although it was almost lunch time, there were very few customers in the snack shop.

However, the arrival of Philim and Oakham immediately made this small restaurant located near a residential area lively.

Philim still chose the old seat near the window, where he and Oakham would usually sit and drink, while other subordinates would choose the private room on the second floor because they could "molest" the schoolgirls working here.

When he saw the landlady, Philim was not very excited, but Oakham's eyes became more ambiguous.

Especially when he saw Philim ordering Yinghua tea as a habit, Oakham smiled and said: "Brother, you have to take action when it's time to take action. People have to live a chic life, especially people like us."

Philim understood what Oakham meant, but he really had no idea about the landlady.

But Oakham's words gave him an excellent opportunity.

So Felim followed his words and said: "That's you. I don't have so many ideas. Besides, I'm very satisfied now."

Oakham frowned when he heard this: "Satisfied? Repeatedly 'picking up garbage' on the old battlefield every day, then escorting these 'garbage' and then selling to those 'garbage'. Are you satisfied with such a life?"

Felim was amused: "Are you talking about tongue twisters?"

Oakham didn't laugh. He looked back behind him, and after making sure there was no one there, he whispered: "You know, many of the things we picked up from the battlefield are far more expensive than their 'junk' price."

of."

Of course Felim knew, but he chose to pretend to be confused: "Oh? Is there any? It's just a pile of junk."

"Bad copper and scrap metal? Haha... If it is really just scrap metal and scrap iron, do you think Elub will allow us 'free people' to trade openly with those people in the free trade port of Elub?"

Ferim took a bite of the fruit, then put down his fork and said, "I understand what you mean...but so what? We can't afford this game..."

"Can't you afford it?" Oakham looked a little angry.

Just then the boss came to serve the food.

"Um, I'm sorry, can I serve you two dishes now?" The landlady felt that she came at the wrong time.

Oakham's expression dropped, and he immediately put on a smile and said, "Um, it's okay."

Only then did the landlady dare to come over and put down the dinner plate.

All the dishes were ordered by Oakham, but when he saw these dishes, Philim was stunned, and then looked at the landlady in surprise.

The landlady just smiled slightly, put away the plate and left.

The proprietress left, and Ockham continued: "Selling it as garbage, one ton is only 5,000 Seins, but as long as we want, we can add two zeros at any time! Do you understand what I mean, brother?"

Felim didn't say anything, he was still staring at the thing on the table in a daze.

Upon seeing this, Oakham stood up and touched Philim's shoulder and said: "Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?"

Felim came back to his senses: "Uh? Nothing? What did you just say?"
