Chapter 495: Strange

Walked with Yang Ka all the way to their guild. (8)(1)Δ Chinese Ω net.『 8⒈

It was an old dwelling in the slums, and as far as the eye could see, it was surrounded by dilapidated buildings, some without windows, some with cracked doors, and some with holes in the walls and bundled with thatch.

In the house, from time to time, there would be a few children's cries and a woman's soft humming to lull the child to sleep.

No one walks in the slum during the day, because everyone who lives here has no time, they are busy except busy, in order to survive, to have food and clothing.

When Yang Jia came to the door, he did not take the key, but stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

As the creaking sound of the tooth resounded, a faint musty smell came to the nose.

"Come in," Yang said, and walked straight in.

I looked at it, and then I entered.

Closing the door, Yang Jiao skillfully turned on the light, this is a relatively dilapidated magic lamp, and the light is also very weak, but fortunately, the area that can barely illuminate the entire room to the entire room is only about 20 square meters.

"It's very shabby," Yang Ka said lightly.

I looked around me and mumbled.

"There's no way around it, we can only buy a house like this here."

"You've been adventurers for a long time, why haven't you saved any money?" I asked.

"I can't save any money," he said, "The money we get from farming monsters is only enough for our daily expenses, and occasionally the money we get from Yulu has to be donated to a nearby orphanage." ”

"It's a good thing to donate money to the orphanage, but you don't need to donate all of Yulu's money, right?"

"You don't understand," Yang said, "The orphanage in the slum is not supported by the city lord, and every orphanage here relies on crowdfunding to survive. ”

"I see, hey, all evil bureaucracy!" I cursed, and then said, "But you're really kind. ”

Yang Jiao shook his head and said, "It's not that we are kind, but because we are also orphans who grew up in orphanages. ”

"You ...... Also orphans? I frowned slightly: "Everyone? ”

"Yes, everyone," Yang said, "we are all from the same orphanage, and now that we have grown up, we naturally have to know how to be grateful and give as much as possible to the orphanage that raised us." ”

I frowned slightly, and for some reason, after learning about the life experience of Yang Jiao and others, I suddenly felt a little heavy.

At the same time, I also understood why Liu Yu was so hostile to me.

She was not hostile to me, but to everyone, the result of a deep sense of insecurity, and she must have suffered something in the orphanage that made her desperate.

After all, there are so many children in the orphanage that it is impossible to take care of everyone.

At this time, Yang Jiao continued: "Liu Yu's hostile attitude towards you is also because she once had some bad memories in the orphanage, but her character is still very kind, don't blame her." ”

"I don't blame her" waved my hand, and I said, "On the contrary, I think you are very happy to have such a partner, at least, she values you very much." ”

Yang Jiao laughed dryly: "Happiness is very happy, but sometimes it feels very hard." ”

"You are full and don't know the suffering of starving people, how many bachelors if they listen to your words, they can't press you to the ground and force you to sing a chrysanthemum song!"

"What is a chrysanthemum remnant?" Yang Ka looked puzzled: "Song?" How come I haven't heard of it? ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I forgot that Internet terms like chrysanthemums are not prevalent here.

For them, chrysanthemums are just chrysanthemums, a beautiful flower that blooms in autumn.

Instead of explaining to him another meaning of chrysanthemums, I asked him, "When will you do this?" ”

Yang Jiao shook his head: "I don't know, until I can't support it." ”

"It's a painful thanksgiving," I sighed, "haven't you thought of trying to convey your opinion to the city lord?" But don't forget, this is the capital, and the city lord is about ...... away Well, it's a long way away, but it doesn't take more than three hours to go back and forth. ”

"You say the city lord?" Yang Jiao cut off: "Forget it, it's better to talk about this kind of thing with an inactive city lord like him, it's better not to say it, at least it won't attract the invasion of the tax officer." ”

After listening to Yang Jiao's words, my mood was speechless, and there was only one thought left: The city lord of Eri City is finished, and the high-level of Eri City is almost finished.

Although the economic situation of the slum is dire, and the people inside are like pigs and dogs to them, it owns one-third of the land of Ari City, and nearly half of the city's residents live.

Who knows how many of its inhabitants are adventurers, and who has counted the strength of these adventurers?

If I hadn't gotten to know Yang Jiao, maybe I still wouldn't have thought of these problems.

The history of the former blue planet has brought me such a reflection: once it is separated from the toiling masses, shakes its position in their hearts, and loses their support, no matter how prosperous the dynasty is, it will eventually be destroyed.

Unless, unless, there can be a monarch who can regain their lost faith.

In fact, it is very simple to get the admiration of these toiling masses, as long as they are fed and warmly clothed, it is enough.

However, those in power who live at the top of Ari City, as well as the few who are in charge of wealth, have no such awareness at all.

They are like a goldfish that is eternally hungry, no matter how much food there is, as long as they see it, they will want to possess it and eat it.

In exchange, they will either be dying by the rise of food, or they will die directly.

I sighed, knowing that there was no way to comfort Yang Jiao's sorrow, after all, this was not a problem that a civilian like me could solve.

So, I decided to change the subject.

"By the way, has your guild been harassed by external forces recently?"

Yang Jiao thought for a while and said, "There were two or three times, but they were all rogue guilds, and they were quickly defeated by us. ”

"That's good," I said, "However, during this time, Eri City seems to be very restless, and it is said that last night, all members of a small guild of sixteen people were killed. ”

"Well, I heard" Yang Jiao nodded: "According to rumors, it is because the members of that guild have always been stealing, and they used to be fine, and they met some people who did not want to make trouble, but recently, they stole the head of a guy who held a grudge, and as a result, all of them were killed overnight." ”

After listening to Yang Jiao's words, I suddenly asked, "Is it really just stealing?" ”

"And what do you mean?"

"If it's just stealing, if it's caught, it's okay to beat it, and send it to the city guard to punish and punish," I said with a serious face: "But, according to eyewitnesses, the deaths of those adventurers were miserable, and they could smell the smell of blood wafting from the guild, I think it's hard to be punished for stealing alone, if I'm not mistaken, there must be something strange in this." ”
