Chapter 555: A Corner Surfaced
The night wind condensed on the dark wasteland, but the lights followed a straight line, lighting the way forward.
It was a cold light, and there was only one building far away, and when it was viewed from a fog-free high sky, it was like a firefly in the night, looming.
"Woooooo
With the roar, it was a steel locomotive.
"I really didn't expect that there would be this hand. Don't they have to check?"
In the second carriage of the train, sitting on a large pile of coal mines, Rorschach was still a little surprised.
More than an hour ago, when Saviara said there was a way, he couldn't believe it, especially when she asked to go back.
As a result, after walking for twenty minutes, I arrived at the mining area I had passed before, and then I got into the car smoothly, and the cost was 2 winter coins.
Yes, that's right, it's 2 yuan, and it's not enough for a meal.
Waving his hand, the train actually stopped, took out the banknotes, stuffed them to the driver as a fare, and let himself come up on the other side.
And along the way, there are really a lot of passengers like themselves, and the trains transporting ore stop and go, and the passengers go up and down.
I couldn't sit on the coal pile, so there were people who grabbed the side of the train, and there were bold squints to make up for sleep, which made people worry that he would go down if he accidentally fell asleep.
You are less knowledgeable, Master Rorschach. The passenger train ticket in New Tonia City is nothing in your eyes, but in the eyes of these wasteland people, it is the fruits of months of hunting and mining, how can they give it up. This demand has consumption, and this fare supplement business has been in operation for many years. ”
If it was Sunana who answered, Rorschach would not be surprised, after all, she has been running around all year round, and she has been to a lot of strange places, and it is natural to know this.
But now the thorny thing in the words is Saviara, who has not been here for a few days, so it is really a little strange.
"Strange? You really think I'm a court princess who doesn't touch the ground. If you don't know the real situation of the people, you can only command blindly, and the people below can fool you with just two words, and no matter how good the decree is, it will be distorted and deformed by the executor. Only when you know more than your officials can they deceive you, but it doesn't make sense to say that it is not a good thing, it is my personal habit to come to a new place and find out the local people. ”
The pretty face of the young princess was covered with soot, only the bright pupils flickered, and she wore a hood to carefully hide herself.
Rorschach and Sunana are both high-ranking military positions, and they come out to hang out casually, and she knows that just her overly delicate skin and beautiful face can lead to death for herself in this lawless place.
Before getting into the car, she blackened herself, her cheeks and exposed skin, looking at this skillful "makeup" and climbing skills, Rorschach knew a little bit about how she "micro-service private interview".
"The so-called wisdom does not mean that the decision with high IQ is necessarily right, the real wisdom is to collect enough information, and sort out the truths and contradictions contained in it, and make the most suitable and optimal decision. I wonder if you don't know enough about the Hemoites and do you really think that by moving them to your own city and living in the way of the Eichites, you will be able to assimilate them completely?"
If it had been before, Rorschach would probably have replied with a smile.
"Why not? Didn't we just do that? Don't you see the Seymours in the city, except that they are different from us Ish. ”
But now, Rorschach was a little hesitant.
It wasn't just Saviara's performance that impressed him, and he knew the reputation of Princess Hyun in his heart, but this riot.
The riot came so suddenly, that he wondered if his previous understanding of the Seymours had been wrong.
"Excuse me. ”
Sensing his carelessness, the young man corrected his attitude and sitting posture, since there was still some time, it was natural to know a little more.
Seeing that Rorschach was serious, Saviara was a little uncomfortable, she subconsciously took half a step back, but found that there was nowhere to retreat, coughed lightly, and continued.
"Your thoughts are probably not wrong, after all, this is the routine of the Eichi colonizing Isorene, which has been successful for many years, but here, it is a bit special. ”
"Special?!"
Saiviala nodded silently, it took a lot of effort for her to sort out these messy relationships, she thought it was just for background information and knowledge reserves for investment, but she didn't expect it to be effective here.
"Well, they're immortals, longer than us humans, longer than my humans. ”
Looking at a golden elf and a dark elf on the other side, Sylviara sighed helplessly and changed her words.
"A longer life span is not only about time itself, but also about the inertia of life. Many of the current prime-aged Seymours are over 100 years old, and they have experienced a lot and continued their habits for a long time, which cannot be changed by simple temptations. ”
Rorschach frowned, and subconsciously glanced at the Seymours around him.
They were dressed in modern costumes, most of them were simple animal skins and paintings, and they also carried various prey and ores on their backs, and they were obviously neither residents of Horn City nor New Tonia City.
"You mean the Wasteland Seymours?
"What do you know from there? Where did you know from the Seymours? Did you know that there were so many tribes along this minecart?"
Only then did Rorschach realize that he had felt that something was wrong along the way.
I know about the minecart, after all, the entire Harait Wasteland is a big mining area.
The myriad mining areas and the mining towns that accompany it are the source of most of the resources of the entire Harait.
In order to turn the sleeping treasures into real gold coins, New Winteria City and Corner City have been spending money on the construction of train networks and mining towns over the years.
Moreover, this is a lucrative business, and it is a franchise income that only the board bosses are qualified to participate in.
As long as a small town is built and a freight route is operated, the coal, metal, and most precious of all, magical metal ores mined from the ground can be turned into their own profits after paying a portion of the harvest to the city.
The investment-income ratio is simply faster than the robbery... To put it bluntly, just like the coal boss back then, as long as you get a mining license, there won't be too many accidents, and it's not too easy to break out.
The Game Church is not involved too much because its main development direction is the people of faith in Horn City and New Tonia City, and the service and entertainment industries in the city, but it does not mean that Rorschach is ignorant of it.
On the contrary, Rorschach was well aware of the excesses of these nascent capitalists, who did not even care about the lives and deaths of the miners for the sake of profit, and took advantage of the reality of the vacancy of the legal system of the land to suppress the pensions and profits of the miners in all aspects.
Rorschach reported on the actions of these bastards on several occasions with absolute truth, and caused some influence among the Seymours, and even indirectly led to the introduction of the "Miners' Basic Salary and Basic Pension Amount", which won a lot of benefits for these people.
Whether as a city executive or a journalist, he still knows a lot about mining towns, so the sense of incongruity along the way has been accumulating, and at this time, under the reminder of Saviara, he finally suddenly realized.
"You're saying, tribes, well, most likely, there are countless tribes along the route, and they migrated, no, it's possible that they've moved around the mining town. Compared to natural caves, artificial mines are actually better shelters for the mine. ”
Travelers kept getting on the bus, and they were going to take their goods to the corner city to exchange for various daily necessities, and then return.
And this undoubtedly also shows that either they are extremely able to run, can drag goods for tens or hundreds of kilometers, or they live around the railway.
Judging from their not tired looks, Rorschach felt that the latter was more likely.
The Seamoors and Tribal Seymours of the wasteland that you don't care much about are the majority of the people in this wasteland. And their way of life is the one that has changed the most. They are the main force of this race and the future of this wasteland. ”
