Chapter 148: Identity Exposed
The three rows of small town houses are divided into a street, and those on the street can do small businesses such as inns, taverns, shops, etc.
Walking through the streets of the town, there are already some tourists here, all of them who arrived early, and fortunately some of them have already followed the avenue to other towns under construction, otherwise the small oasis would not be able to accommodate these people.
Leowi faithfully recorded the scene with her camera, the taverns with some old signs, the vendors crouching on the side of the street waiting for business, the tourists haggling for a price, and of course, Joseph watching it all with interest.
"You're like a king patrolling his territory."
This is Leoway's evaluation of Joseph after he came to Oasis Town, such an evaluation startled Joseph, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at Leovi, who was full of ridicule, but what he didn't notice was Leove's meaningful gaze after turning around.
"Fortunately, our previous group of tourists just left, we can stay in a small hotel for one night tonight, but the room is not enough, the hotel needs three people in a room, if you don't want to find a resident room next to you to rent, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock in the center of the town to gather, you need to note that you can't go out of the town without permission."
The tour guide was a little verbose about this, but tourists know what kind of place Western Sahara is, even if it is a Nord-controlled area, it cannot avoid some dangers, so the guide's instructions are deeply remembered by them.
"Leovi, what are we going to do?"
"You want to rent a residential house?"
"I don't like to live in the same room with other people anyway, except for the opposite sex."
"Little pervert! But I don't think many women will say no, if you will. ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Joseph's ridicule of Leowei cannot be denied, and as he grows older, Joseph's temperament and his delicate face are enough to attract the attention of most women.
The choice of renting housing is a three-storey small loft not far from the hotel, and the small loft with the façade is not all rented out, and some will leave one or two floors as their own living place, and Joseph is going to rent a room similar to this.
"The rent is three cents, if you don't have an opinion, you can sign it now......"
"No problem!"
It was not Joseph who spoke, but Leovi, who had already handed over a euro before Joseph could speak, and Joseph knew that she had money, so he hesitated and did not dwell on it.
The owner is a middle-aged Hispanic woman with a husband who is indigenous to Western Sahara, and it is not known where the marriage came from, but he has some guesses.
The local mayor is the uncle of the real owner, and although the Kingdom of Morocco also formed an effective rule before the arrival of the Duchy of Nord, the towns are still mainly autonomous, and these guys who are almost chieftains are the real rulers.
Some tourists or immigrants often disappear, and these places may be the reason for the disappearance, after all, a small town always needs some external blood, otherwise they will face the crisis of not being able to inherit it after a long time.
"The oasis town is undoubtedly a new life for us, and they have changed the poverty and disease that has always been in Western Sahara, but my husband is not very happy with it."
Sitting together and chatting, the Hispanic female homeowner began to tell some trivial things about life, which was one of Joseph's purposes, and he needed to experience everything here firsthand and see what the townspeople really thought.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be an immigrant who was looted!"
Seeing that the century matured, Joseph began to ask the topic of his guess, and although he was a little embarrassed, in the end, the middle-aged woman of Hispanic descent still gave an answer.
"I used to be an English teacher in Laayoune, and a few years ago I went out with my friends, who would have thought that such a thing would happen, he was left in the desert and I ......"
A wry smile on the lips of the middle-aged Hispanic woman confirmed Joseph's suspicions, but she was lucky compared to her companions, after all, she did not become a dry corpse in the desert.
Play? If nothing else, that friend should be a man, a man and a woman come out to say what to play, and it is self-evident what to do, but at this time, no one will hold on to this little thing.
"Why didn't you see your husband?"
is worthy of being the mayor's nephew, not only can he get a small attic with a three-story façade, but the items in the room are also quite good, although he is not a rich family, but he should also be one of the best in the town.
"There is a piece of land in the oasis, my husband is one of the managers there, and he usually doesn't come back until the evening, and he doesn't have a very good temper, so try not to provoke him."
Although it was only a few words, Joseph had already seen the essence of this place, the original emperor of the soil as the current mayor of the town was actually unpopular, they suffered more oppression, and a suitable election could ensure that the people's hearts were not lost.
But although I think so, once things are done, it is definitely not so easy, after all, this is not a joke, and a careless can even provoke a full-fledged backlash.
"Joseph, what are you thinking?"
"No, it's nothing, do you think the mayor system of the Oasis is reasonable now?"
Leovi didn't look surprised by Joseph's sudden inquiry, as if she had expected it: "I think maybe you overestimate the degree of control these Earth Emperors have over the townspeople. Poverty can make people foolish, but wealth and education can change everything. ”
What is the best way to wake up the dreamers in a word, and to disarm these Earth Emperors? It's differentiation and education!
There were no schools in the town yet, and although they had been planned all along, they had undoubtedly been put on the back burner, but now it seemed that education should come first, as they were the lethal weapon that would ensure the rule of the Principality of Nord over Western Sahara.
"Leovi, thank you."
"If you really want to thank me, just invite me to your house when I go to Nord."
The words made Joseph look at Leowei in some shock, but what he saw were unwavering blue eyes, and for some reason, suddenly Joseph relaxed.
He understood that Leoway already knew his identity, but Leowi didn't mean to leak it, so there was no need for Joseph to take the initiative to say anything.
"Okay, I'll definitely invite you as a guest when you go to Nord."
"I have a son who is now working in the United States, and I would like to take him with me if I can."
Although he didn't understand what Leovi meant, Joseph still agreed very happily, but what Joseph didn't know was that this happy promise was an important opportunity for Nord to break through the present.
