City of Black Castle.

Thick jet-black smoke pillars passed through various areas of the city and reached into the sky.

This is an extremely polluted city.

But it’s not bad for the people at the bottom of the city.

Because the divine shield from the great God of Black Mist blocked these weak and pious people from the threat of high-altitude pollution.

Many urban residents have been to the countryside. Although the countryside has a lot more greenery than the city, the pollution is also more serious. At least the water cannot be drank directly.

There are far fewer temples and priests in the countryside. Without the grace from the God of Black Mist, life will indeed become much more difficult.

Therefore, more and more people tend to live in cities.

Not only to bathe in divine grace more closely, but also to enjoy a better life.

The city of Black Castle is located in the Twilight Plane, which is located at the outermost edge of the Kells Star Domain.

More than two-thirds of the area on this plane believes in the God of Black Mist, and less than one-third of the area believes in the God of Twilight.

Because the settlement situation of the entire plane is centered on the city, almost every creature in the city believes in the same god.

Therefore, relatively fierce faith attacks and battles between believers rarely occur in this plane.

Even if a dispute breaks out between the followers of the God of Black Mist and the God of Twilight due to certain events, priests or even divine envoys from their respective temples will soon intervene to mediate to resolve the conflict.

All in all, this is a very peaceful ordinary world where no fierce war has occurred for tens of thousands of years.

Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and everyone believes that after death, he will enter the kingdom of the gods he believes in and find rest.

Peake is an ordinary young man in the city of Black Castle. He is twenty years old. He is a devout believer in the God of Black Mist.

Not only him, but also his father, mother and sister are all subjects of the great Black Mist God.

Since coming of age four years ago, Peake has had a job of his own at Hals Industries in the City of Black Castle under the guidance of the priest of the Black Mist Temple.

Pique is very satisfied with his job. The good salary allows him to live a very stable life in the city. He even found a girlfriend last month.

The other person is an employee next door to the factory where Peak works. His income is slightly lower than that of Peak, but he is also a loyal believer in the God of Black Mist.

The extremely young Pique was curious about what he had built when he first joined the company.

I have also thought about how to convert the value I create into salary.

But when he couldn't figure out the reasons and went to seek advice from his most respected pastor, Uncle Pollick, the other party gave him the answer - "This is all a gift from God!"

From then on, Pique, who had a clear mind, never had similar troubles again.

He works hard in the workshop every day, and he and his co-workers hammer the cylindrical metal in front of him in a specific route and frequency. (ps: He only does this. I heard that other co-workers are responsible for picking, and also

There are people responsible for the rinsing process.)

Before going to work, let’s thank God for His gifts.

Make an appointment to enjoy a delicious meal after get off work.

Peake feels that he is very happy. He is also a true reflection of most ordinary creatures in the entire city of Black Castle, or the entire twilight plane.

With very precise timing, Peake caught the last black train.

This is a very "ferocious" metal beast in Pique's eyes. It is completely black and has a metallic luster.

Black and pungent smoke plumes continued to emerge from the chimney at the front end of the train.

Its body length ranges from a few tens of meters to a thousand meters long. It runs section by section within the city of Black Castle and even between cities.

When Peake was a child, he followed his family to visit relatives in several other cities around the city of Black Castle.

This was the kind of train I took at that time, but now that I am an adult and have gone to work, Peake rarely has free time to go out and see things.

Peake also asked his parents how this kind of train came about.

The answer I received was - this is all the power of God.

When everything can be explained by God, everything seems to make sense.

At least Pique never suspected anything.

On both sides of the black iron train that makes a "Woo! Woo!" sound, a steam street light will light up every other distance.

Just by counting these street lights, Pique could figure out when he should get off the bus without looking at the time.

When he arrived at his workplace, there was a bit of chaos outside the factory.

This chaotic situation has been going on for a long time.

It seems to have started three months ago.

Peake asked his girlfriend Mary, and she had a similar situation there.

The main reason seems to be that many of the middle-level managers and above in the factory are missing.

The federal people doing business in the Kells Star Territory are all high-level officials in the factory.

Even an ordinary federal technician is enough to hold a mid-level position among these indigenous creatures.

The Federation humans who had smelled the rumors of war in advance had already run away.

Neither does the God of Black Mist

The only way to intercept these Federation humans is to ask them to bring some Federation fleets back to support the Kells Star Territory.

Many federal businessmen are naturally unwilling to give up their properties in the Kells Star Territory.

So, if you can help, you will definitely help.

But it depends on whether I can help.

Although there was still some chaos in the factory, under the guidance of the priests in the factory, workers, including Peake, entered the workshop one after another for production.

The dominant creatures in the Kells Star Territory are the race of the Peake type. Although their appearance is also a type of humanoid creature, their specific appearance is very different from that of humans in the Federation and the Wizarding World.

Their heads are square, and their arms are much longer and narrower than their thighs, with six-jointed fingers.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Federation humans with huge aesthetic differences to choose the indigenous creatures of the Kells Star Territory as their spouses.

But Jada, a middle-level leader in the factory whom Peak knew, happened to be a mixture of the Federation and the native creatures of the Twilight World.

They are even good friends, and Jada promised him that he would promote Pique in the future.

But Jada also disappeared a few months ago.

Before he left, he even left an ambiguous message to Pique: "Take care!"

Peake's work lasted from morning to night.

The working hours of fifteen federal hours are nothing to the physique and work schedule of the creatures in the Kells Star Territory.

Why do federal humans like to come to the Kells Star Territory to build factories?

In a highly intelligent and advanced federal society, "manpower" is actually the largest expense for all enterprises.

They need to purchase insurance for each employee, add various benefits, and must not violate the working hours stipulated by federal law!

In comparison, these indigenous creatures from remote alien planets are simply the "qualified workers" that every federal capitalist dreams of!

They do not need any benefits, and the labor costs paid by federal enterprises are almost zero.

As long as their beliefs and the gods they believe in are taken care of, these indigenous creatures in remote alien regions will become inexhaustible "slave creatures" for federal enterprises!

Although the federal enterprises in the Kells Star Territory are second- and third-rate factories, some of them also manufacture military products.

For example, An Qi, the branch president of Thomas Industries, who can talk to the God of Black Mist, is mainly responsible for the parts manufacturing of Federation I third-generation drones in this star field.

As the war with the wizarding civilization progresses into full swing, the federal society's focus on the military-industrial system has become more and more intense.

It's getting bigger.

When the civilized war first began, the military industry accounted for only about 31% of the total output value of federal society.

Later it reached 40%...50%...60%...

It is now 73%! And there are signs of continued improvement!

The entire society operates for the military manufacturing industry, so as to meet the war consumption between the Alliance front line and the wizard civilization!

After a long day's work, Peake, who was a little tired, pinched his shoulder blades.

Today happened to be the day when wages were paid, and the dozen or so black coins he received filled Pique's tired mood.

This kind of black coin has a special symbol representing the Kells star field on the front, and a temple pattern of the God of Black Mist on the back. The workmanship is perfect.

Some cheered up and considered spending one of his coins to buy a bouquet of rainbow flowers for his girlfriend.

Rainbow flowers are not a specialty of this world, and Peake has never seen them in the wild.

Rainbow flowers that are constantly flashing with fluorescence are very popular among female creatures in this world. They are really beautiful.

At the junction of the two factories, Peake waited for his girlfriend.

When Mary saw the rainbow flower in Peake's hand, she ran towards him with a happy face.

Piqué noticed that as his girlfriend rushed over, her expression changed dramatically, and she finally showed a look of horror.
