The one-way fare for the cable car is 5 dinars, which is extremely cheap for Zong Shen.
But if calculated based on the wages and prices at the village level and the city level, it is still a bit expensive.
I still remember that when Baron Bezos recruited miscellaneous maids in the village of Citano, the monthly salary was 20 dinars, which was only 240 dinars a year, plus 20 days of family leave.
In other words, if the baron's maid is asked to ride the cable car, it will cost her nearly a week's salary.
If you are not in Jucheng, the salary of a maid will be much higher.
Normally, the salary can reach 50 to 70 dinars per month, which is several times higher than the salary standard at the state and city level.
If you consider saving money, the cheapest ways to travel within the city are mule carts and ox carts.
As long as you pay 1 dinar, you can take a one-way cable car for the same distance.
Therefore, most wealthy families in the city have horses on their backs.
The dry feed needed to feed horses is in short supply.
It is precisely because the area of ​​​​the giant city is so huge that each block has formed a system.
It may even take weeks to travel from the south to the north of the third circle of the city.
Transportation determines traffic efficiency, and those efficient methods are definitely not within the grasp of ordinary citizens.
Therefore, the price of the cable car is actually not too expensive. No one wants to waste so much time just to get around the city, because time is money.
In fact, the Giant City Cable Car can only be regarded as an intermediate mode of transportation in the city.
There are many types that are less efficient than it, and there are also many types that are more efficient than it.
For example, magic shuttles, small airships, flying monsters with quasi-flying licenses, etc.
Sitting on the cable car, there were three people, one dragon and several big-nosed dwarfs opposite, staring at each other with big eyes.
The cable car is pulled in both directions by the magic noose and rollers above. It is essentially a pulley set driven by magic energy.
The maximum speed is 20 kilometers per hour.
Zong Shen's one-way trip is about 8 kilometers and takes about twenty minutes.
They can only transfer when they reach the next cable car stone tower node.
A total of five such transfers are required to reach the outer edge of the second circle.
"Sir, why do you keep staring at our three brothers?"
A dwarf sitting opposite Xiao Heizi couldn't help but question.
In fact, the only one looking at them was Xiao Heizi.
Zong Shen, Yin Lina and Tasia were all enjoying the scenery outside leisurely.
"snort!"
Xiao Heizi, who had transformed into a human form, let out a muffled groan and sprayed out two bursts of sulfur smoke from his nose.
At the same time, a trace of pressure belonging to the true dragon was released.
"Ahhhhh!"
The three dwarfs screamed and crowded around the window of the cable car in fear.
"Shut up, or I'll let it eat you all."
The noisy dwarf affected Zong Shen's interest in viewing the scenery, and he grinned and threatened again.
Little Heizi also showed his teeth in cooperation with his master.
The three dwarfs were stunned, and finally they all fainted.
Zong Shen turned around and rolled his eyes at Xiao Heizi, who shrugged.
"Sorry, Master."
"These little ones are so cowardly."
Xiao Heizi said without sincerity.
"You are a real dragon, they are just dwarfs who will not grow up."
"Scaring them doesn't reflect your bravery."
Zong Shen lectured again, saying that he didn't want this guy to cause trouble in the giant city.
Xiao Heizi quickly sat upright, nodded and agreed.
Mr. Zong attaches great importance to this trip to the giant city.
He came with a mission and expectations.
Safuri had already arrived at the giant city first.
But she could not meet Zong Shen freely in the city.
Need to keep dealing with those damn church elders.
Therefore, Zong Shen must understand the current situation and situation of Jucheng.
How could such a huge and beautiful city be destroyed so easily in chaos?
To be honest, Zong Shen had a desire to conquer and possess the city under the cable car.
If a person has never enjoyed power, he may not feel that it is wonderful.
But after enjoying the power, this beauty will become addictive and irresistible.
Conquest and Ambition only have 0 and 1 times.
They are like raging weeds that can never be eradicated and become more tenacious.
After the small episode, the journey became much duller.
The three dwarfs didn't wake up until the cable car reached the next stone tower node.
I don’t know if he was just faking it or if he really fainted.
What is certain is that all three of them are breathing.
Everyone changed to the next route and got on the cable car again, which was another journey of about six kilometers.
It takes about 18 minutes. In total, the time required for five cable car rides is at least two hours.
The scenery in the third circle of the city below is very similar.
There are always a few places in the criss-crossed streets that seem similar to each other.
The reason is because the city is too big.
Every neighborhood is like a small settlement, so you can buy daily necessities without going far.
There are all kinds of small shops in the neighborhood.
Every day, there are a large number of traveling merchants and freight trucks delivering various goods to different shops in different neighborhoods.
People in cities need to consume massive amounts of sugar, salt, flour, alcohol and various daily necessities every day.
The daily amount of feces can pile up like a mountain.
Most of the excrement in residences is collected by dung collection trucks that are dispatched in the early morning and transported to several manure workshops and saltpeter plants outside the city. During the day, there are also scattered dung pickers scattered throughout the city like hard-working ants.
They pick up excrement and sell it to those workshops.
The giant city of Lentax is not a hot place, the hottest time is only about 25℃.
So the saltpeter plant is not for making ice, but the magic ice used by the nobles.
Just like the frost raven in Zong Shen's territory, if you get some water and spray some cold air, it will turn into ice cubes.
The saltpeter here will be transported to the alchemy workshop in the city, where specific magic materials will be added to create teleported magic gunpowder. It is also one of the basic raw materials for all magic high-explosives in the Endless Continent.
Speaking of which, it would definitely be a good choice if selling ice cubes in hot areas.
However, the hotter the place, the scarcer the water elemental magic. This is related to the environment and the sparseness of the elemental magic.
Zong Shen was thinking about the city's layout and lifestyle while looking at the scenery below.
