The soldiers seemed surprised by her answer They looked her up and down and noted the strange armor she wore Wrapped around her waist was a belt packed with various liquids andtwothe truth The soldiers looked at each other, nodded, then one of theister as a citizen of this new city and help people build it Greenland will supply all the food and water you'd need Or, you can apply to join the inner city based on your special abilities”
So that was the deal Greenland was accepting everyone who caht well, they'd be let into the city proper A citizen of Greenland
The Inner City and the New City had significant differences
Inner City had the benefit of years of development already Especially in the two years after Cloudhawk's return, Greenland's growth had exploded The conditions and benefits of being a citizen were far better than elsewhere The New City was still under construction but was co quickly All food and water was provided for so long as you worked Living conditions were a hell of a lot better than most wasteland settlements
Red Spider had alanted to be allowed into Greenland But the ht about it, she realized the city had to be full to the rafters with talented people already Geniuses on every corner, or so she figured If she tried her luck right away it would be difficult for her to make a name for herself Better, it seemed, to work her way out fro a reputation and earning prestige, then she could enter Greenland on better terms
“I'll help with the New City”
Her decision was not what the soldiers were expecting But when their surprise passed the men respected her choice It wasn't the first time someone had come up with a similar plan One of the soldiers presented Red Spider with a bag full of goods and explained “This is the city's currency, froet a subsidy of fifty coins to buy food, water andcoins to buy things”
“You're right, nowhere else in the wastes does But we're a unified land now These coins are accepted in any place under the banner of the Green Alliance Present theiven all the food and water Greenland has provided You can also exchange them for Elysian currency”
The wastes had always been a place built on bartering It was an often troublesome and sometimes co coins toeconomy, and increase the distribution of resources What's more, the wastes also accepted Elysian coins for the saal tender in Skycloud – the copper coin – was equal to one Greenland dollar

Red Spider's eyes nearly popped out of her skull “How in the world!”

The series of revelations had Red Spider listening with open shock There was really a chance for peace between Skycloud and the wastelands! Before this moment Red Spider wouldn't have even entertained the idea But she didn't press them for more infor their ti of coins, she left
She stepped out into the construction area which was in full swing Everywhere she looked, little by little the ruins were being transfor to be totally different froanized residential areas, proper streets, libraries, music halls, movie theaters and all sorts of factories
