Capítulo 756: Cloud Tower

Cloud Tower, the city of silk and black gold.

It had been raised from the sea hundreds of years ago because of turmoil within the Originator, and now it occupied the main sea route between the East and the West. It could be said that it had the trade routes by the throat.

It existed only as a cash cow. As long as the waterways kept operating, the money would keep flowing without end.

Ye Qingxuan had heard tales of its extravagance and prosperity from traveler's notes and from the mouths' of merchants and smugglers.

It was said that half of the huge city was built on the sea. Those civilians and untouchables without property or identity had to live on the sea. Their houses made out of sampans, and wooden boats were like barnacles clinging to the rocks and the city walls.

With land so scarce in this sea, every inch of soil was worth as much gold. Every vacant inch of soil was filled as soon as possible, and every foot of space would be used up.
