"...Is there any mistake? Shouldn't entertainment venues be crowded with customers at this time?" In the previous introduction, Mante City only mentioned dust crystal veins and industry, but it is obvious that this is a fully functional city , all the necessary industries are available, such as the nightclub in front of Dia.

"This is not a 'holiday', but a 'shutdown' that has lasted for several months." The bearded man sitting on the steps at the door of the nightclub said angrily after hearing Dia's soliloquy, "Those few People who have no income for months and don’t have to worry about their livelihoods live in the ‘paradise’ above.”

By the way, he is not a homeless man, but a factory worker who lives nearby and has a legitimate occupation. He just doesn't want to stay in a cold home. He would rather sit on the street and chat with someone, or use the heating of city facilities.

Dia didn't mind chatting with passers-by: "It sounds like you are very dissatisfied with the existence of Qingtian City?"

"It's not Qingtian City that I'm dissatisfied with. Which Mante City resident doesn't want to stand out and become a resident of Qingtian City?" Hu scumbag laughed at himself and looked up at the screen on the outer wall of the building in the distance, which was playing the Iron Age repeatedly. General Mu’s comforting video, “What I’m dissatisfied with is this guy who forced us to this point!”

Dia smiled and said: "It seems that I am not the only foreign tourist who can't understand the isolation order and energy ban~"

The scumbag man picked up the empty wine bottle left by someone who didn't know who was next to it, threw it out with all his strength, and broke it in the middle of the road. He said angrily: "I don't understand. The ones who attacked Valley City were the Beast Killing and White Fang organizations. They are not residents of other kingdoms, so what is the purpose of cutting off contact with other kingdoms? Can this prevent beasts from entering?

Energy bans are even more ridiculous! Because the White Fang organization had plundered dust crystals before the incident, and they were worried that the dust crystals would fall into the hands of the enemy, why did they ban the sale of dust crystals? Dust crystals cannot be sold, and dust crystal manufacturers have no choice but to stop production when they see no profit. Companies that consume dust crystals in the production process cannot afford the increasingly high costs and have to stop production. The whole country is crawling forward as if it has broken legs!

As for us workers, we have no income, prices are getting higher and higher, and our savings are getting harder and harder to spend. If this situation continues for a few more months, we will either die of cold or starve to death! "

To be clear, General Ironwood did not disclose the inside information because he was worried that the construction of a new communication tower project would be blocked by Salem. The citizens' evaluation was based on the information they knew, so there may be some deviations.

"...As an ordinary citizen, your speech is quite professional." Dia said unexpectedly.

The bearded scumbag rolled his eyes and said, "Please, we also have a TV station in Mante City, right? We've heard enough of our 'hero''s analysis, so you have to understand it even if you don't understand it."

"Well, it seems like it's hard to find a good place to spend time in Mante City..." Dia took out two hamburgers from the subspace where Beilu stored snacks, sat down, and handed one over, "It's okay to have nothing to do anyway. When you are free, how about we talk about the 'hero' you just mentioned?" 33

"...It's no problem." The scumbag man took the hamburger and looked at Dia strangely, "But where did you get this thing from?"

"This is my external image." This is the best reason to explain all visions in this world.

The all-female team represented by the RWBY team basically eats, drinks, and sleeps together. On the contrary, Feton and his team split up as soon as they land, each having fun in their own way, and only occasionally think of meeting up.

To be honest, Leeds is more inclined to act in groups. Amnesia patients are somewhat at a loss in their new life. However, Feton and Dia lack consideration and care for men, and run away without a trace, even taking care of Lauda. The task was left to him... I had no choice but to blame my past self for being unkind to others.

"..." On this day, Leeds pushed Lauda to the gap in the city wall.

The reason why Qingtian City flies off the ground is to prevent ground and underground beasts from invading. The effect is visible to the naked eye. Mante City is not so lucky. It uses the most traditional city wall defense method. You can sing " Guren's Bow and Arrow" was accompanied by the accompaniment.

During the Werth Festival, the garrison strength of Celestial City and Mantle City was reduced as General Ironwood moved some of his troops to Valley City to provide garrison work. In a beast-killing attack, a city wall in Mante City was damaged, revealing a gap nearly 100 meters wide.

Originally, this was nothing. Mante City was the number one industrial city in the world, and repairing the wall did not require any high-tech technology. It was easy to do it as long as the money, manpower, and materials were in place... However, General Ironwood really lived up to his reputation as "the most powerful city in the world." A nationwide effort to build communication towers” ​​put the city wall restoration project on hold in the city of Mante.

There was a gap in the city wall, just like opening the door to welcome thieves. From time to time, the beast would break through the obstruction of the airships patrolling outside the city, rush in through the gap, and run wild on the street. Perhaps General Ironwood felt that he had sent troops to eliminate the beasts and his achievements were shining, but in the eyes of the residents of Mante City, the gap in the city wall deeply hurt them.

"...Who are you?" Liz asked the orc woman who was commanding something under the city wall and carrying a transformable weapon that was either a staff or a spear.

"Huh?" The orc woman frowned and looked at Leeds. Leeds herself was fine, but it seemed strange to push a sleeping person to a place like this on a snowy day. "We are members of the 'Happy Huntress'. Iron General Mu ordered not to repair the city wall, so we have no choice but to station people here to guard it, which can at least serve as an advance warning."

Liz said: "...In other words, you didn't need to stay outside the city?"

"No, no normal person would stay outside the city." The orc woman said angrily.

Liz nodded slightly and activated her ability.

"Ahhh...!" The members of the Happy Huntress organization on the city wall flew up and landed smoothly in the city amidst screams and feeble struggles. Then the city wall returned to what it was before it was damaged.

There is no repair process, because this is not 'repair', but 'setting', setting from state A to state B; there is no difference at all, because the world's information is read and the past is directly appropriated as a fait accompli.

Of course, just as the members of the Happy Huntress organization were 'flyed into the city' rather than 'teleported into the city' to reduce their level of fright, Liz might deliberately adopt a 'more normal' implementation method in the future.

"This, this is...!?" The orc woman was the only person at the scene who realized who caused the accident in front of her.

"My appearance." Liz obviously learned badly.

The orc woman ran over and slapped the city wall hard. After confirming that it was not an illusion, she turned back to look at Liz: "Such an image... I have never heard of it!"

Liz grinned, pushed Lauda away, and gently left a message: "...You have done a good job. If you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved, you can come to me."

Some people died, but not completely...
