"Keep in line. Don't push!" a Graycastle clerk wearing a black uniform yelled as he pushed his way through the crowd. "Remember the number on your boarding pass and go to the corresponding checkout. Make sure you go to the correct one!"
Manfeld, still flabbergasted, was pushed onto the dock.
He saw the whole port lie before him.
It was the largest port he had ever seen. The dock stretched away along the bank and disappeared at the end of the horizon. Unlike the damp, moldy port he usually saw, this dock was clean and tidy. The pavement was covered with white slabs. Thousdands of ships traveled back and forth. Even the port in the Kingdom of Dawn was incomparable to this one.
Many people gasped at this magnificent scene. However, Manfeld was still in such an immense shock that he was now emotionally numb after he had seen the flying iron birds.
