Chapter 231: Divergence

Ignoring Sid's reaction, Lu En turned his back to the girl and continued:

"These people at the bottom, as well as those half-blood monsters, everyone told them that they should keep to themselves, there will be people to shelter them from the wind and rain, they just need to wait for the rain and dew to sprout and thrive."

Sid seemed to think of something, and his face turned pale.

"Yes, that's what you think, no one tells them that they will never grow up, and the fate of their birth is to be constantly harvested by others, until they are old and woody, and they will not be squeezed."

Lu En turned around and looked directly at the silver-haired girl.

"They are wheat seedlings, they drink water, and the nutrients are their own endosperm, and you! It's just that the shadow of the body just happened to block their sun! ”

"They should have matured and golden, and spread their offspring all over the earth, so that they could live without you, but because you wanted to dye the gray skin covered in red lead powder, to unblock the greasy fat intestines stuffed with fish, and to parasitize the simple and ignorant toiling masses, they became the pot of wheat seedlings that will never grow!"

Sid looked at Lu En, who was generously speaking in front of her, and her mind was in a trance, the education she had been receiving seemed to be a big joke, and she felt that she could finally understand the behavior of the hateful woman in her mind.

They're not all the way.

"I hope that all those who suffer will be able to get rid of the sickle and the shadow."

"You don't have to listen to the Pope-Emperor and the like."

"Those who can do things do things, and those who can speak up can speak up."

"There's a bit of heat, there's a bit of light."

"It's like a firefly, and it can also shine a little light in the dark."

"Don't wait for the torch, if there is no torch after that, I am the only light!"

Looking at the man in front of him saying arrogant words, but it was like a thunderbolt slashing into his heart, and the concept that he had insisted on for a long time was shattered, and the figure was obviously on the same plane as himself, but it seemed to be unattainable, and it was just rooted in the ground, like a peak of skyscraper and clouds, which made people awe-inspiring, and for a moment actually shocked Sid.

Lu En sensed something, turned his head slightly, and looked at Yurahir, only to see that the light spirit was still jingling and ringing, which was pleasant to the ear.

Damn, it turns out that this skill can still be used by others? Persuade...... Is it really a 1000% increase in mouth cannon damage?

When Lun turned his head to look at Yurahir—

Sid stayed where he was, and the memories in his mind came quickly, first from the brocade clothes and jade food since childhood, glory and wealth, and then ...... Her brother was banished from the house and became a pirate, and she went out alone to see her brother and saw a lot of ...... A lot.

She was guarded in a clean and dustless place, and outside were the suffering people, whose suffering, when they were close to her, turned into gold coins, wealth, she was a noble noble knight, standing in the slum mud of the white lotus blossom, but the mud ...... Is it dirty? Is she really the White Lotus?

White Lotus ...... Opened in the blood, the mud is the purest soil.

Memories flew back, and the experience of Star Maple King City was recalled, and those monster hybrids ...... Those who can't survive spend almost three-quarters of their income on food, and two-thirds of that three-quarters of their food spending is spent on bread alone, which means that about half of their income is spent on bread alone, and Sid knows that this has hardly changed in the last half century.

What does it mean to spend three-quarters of your income just to eat some brown bread...... It shows that almost all the food in their lives is the kind of black bread that is difficult to swallow.

The first time Sid saw that kind of food, he only felt disgusting, sour and rotten, and if it was cold, it was as hard as wood, and he might not be able to eat it if he crushed his teeth, and he would scrape his throat if he swallowed it.

But this is the only food that many people have in their lives, and they have not eaten anything other than this in their entire lives until they die.

When she was in Star Maple King City, Bai did statistics, her skill was coordination, and she was the best at doing these things, according to her field investigation, even in Star Maple King City, the average weekly household income of the poor was only two Star Maple Silver Coins and Sixty Copper Coins; The average weekly income of a miner's family is six star maple coins, and the average weekly income of a manufacturing worker's family is fifteen star maple coins and seventy-six copper coins.

There are two components to these higher household incomes, mining and manufacturing households: on the one hand, men earn higher wages, and on the other hand, in industrial areas, children work from the age of five or six and stay in the family until they get married: they earn about 40% of the household income.

Yes, the reason why miners' families, workshops or factories are humans, whether monsters or humans, earn more, in addition to being paid a little more, is because their children have to work in the factories or help in the mines when they are five or six years old.

In Bai's survey, almost all family members described a scenario in which a man who worked hard all day transferred his entire income to his wife, who then used her meager income to buy food, but could only afford the cheapest, and in this way, it was not enough for the whole family.

On the other hand, since three-quarters of all income is spent on food, a small reduction in income or an increase in expenses can leave a barely surviving family starving, and they can hardly come up with more money to invest in the future, such as buying books or educating children, even though everyone knows that this will lead to higher wages, better jobs, and even careers! But if you do this, you will starve the whole family, and what is the cost of starvation?

It's dead.

Because the man in the family can't eat, the physical work he does will be less efficient, the money he earns will be less, he will be more and more unable to eat, and he may get sick, once he gets sick, he will cut off most of the family's income, and the final outcome is that the whole family will die, or the man will die, and the mother will become the lowest prostitute in order to support the child, earning a little money, but it is certainly not enough for the child to continue to study, and can only continue to return to the previous situation where most of the income is used to eat.

And such days are not long, they are very simple, because this kind of lowest-end prostitutes, because of the hygiene situation and disease, as well as the cultural level of the "customer", the degree of roughness, usually does not last long, and after working for a long time, they will be covered in dirt and sick, haggard, and injured, and because of their income level, they will not get enough treatment, and after their bodies are completely overdrawn, they will die.

Like what...... Bai's mother, she is a monster, and she is also a half-blooded moon wolf, but even so, she only lasted ten years, leaving Bai dead, and the human body is much worse than the moon wolf, and it is probably the limit to be able to hold on for three or five years.

This situation forces them not to invest in the future, they can only be trapped in the status quo, generation after generation, suffering from complicated laws, wars that break out from time to time, and eternal oppression, no one thinks that there is anything wrong with this, this is life, everything is natural.

Sid didn't know this, but she was a nobleman, and her position made her have to stabilize all of this, so she deliberately ignored what she saw and heard in the Star Maple Kingdom, and defined these as thieves and rebels trying to subvert the regime.

But can it really be ignored? If it's really ignored...... She wouldn't hide everything that happened to Xingfeng from her father, and if she could really ignore it, she wouldn't learn to bathe herself and learn not to squander anymore.

If you really can ignore it...... She won't, single-handedly, go into Ellio.

She knows enough about the world's badness, what should she do?

What's right? What's right? What's right?

What's right? What's right? What's right?

I don't know, I don't know, her education from childhood told her that she was a nobleman, she was a knight, they fought in the name of honor and chivalry, belonged to the elite or aristocratic class, they dedicated their lives to lords, kings, gods, and then ruled their own domains, giving justice to their subjects in their territory

Because the people are ignorant and humble, they don't want to be motivated, they need to be led, they need nobles and emperors, otherwise they can't live, so there must be a wise leader, who rules like the most perfect emperor and establishes a perfect system of rule, under his peaceful guidance, all suffering and wars will end, and becoming such a wise lord was Sid's goal.

But what did she see with her own eyes? She saw the aristocracy's drunken gold fans, talented and beautiful women, emperors and generals, major families, sincere love, balls, beautiful dramas, music, and indulgent enjoyment, what a romantic life it was, hazy day and night, singing and dancing, beautiful women like jade, wind and snow.

Even if it is a war, fighting back and forth, no one will die in the end, the loser will just be captured, and finally the family will spend a large ransom to bring it back, such a war is often just for "glory".

Glory, what a romantic word, there are billions of people at the bottom to trample on and exploit them, how can it not be romantic? Thousands of people died in the war, which one is a nobleman like Sid? A single button on her collar was worth more than the same weight of gold, and her armor was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, of which 50,000 were just to be carved on it without compromising performance.

Fifty thousand emperor gold coins, exchanged for that kind of cheap black bread, are the rations of tens of thousands of people in the slums for ten years, and tens of thousands of people will not worry about eating and drinking for ten years, but they are just carved some complicated patterns on her armor, and they can't even improve their defense, they are purely beautiful.

But what do you see in the slums? What she saw was that a monster hybrid pulling a cart, pulling goods and carrying people, working hard, working hard for a day, earning a pocket of copper plates, about a silver coin, and then on the way home, she accidentally bumped into a city defense army, the other party was a professional, and her body was strong, but she was knocked to the ground, and the copper plate she was carefully carrying was spilled on the ground, and she didn't have time to apologize and quickly went to protect the copper plate with her body, otherwise it would be gone for ten seconds at most.

The city defense army was violent, and it was a kick when it went up, and the monster mixed blood kicked rolled all over the ground, but fortunately, it was a monster after all, and the body could stand it, but the city defense army dragged the car away in order to get angry, the reason was that it was impounded, and there was no car...... How do you live? So, he went to the garrison of the city defense army, knelt down for him, and knelt all night, the old man raised his eyes, scolded a few cheap bones, and told him to go to the garbage dump to tow the truck.

When I got home, he didn't go home last night, he went to kneel, the children at home were so hungry that they cried, and his wife couldn't help it, so he went to a dark house on the street, went to a dusk, in exchange for a day's food, and finally fed the child, this is not the first time this kind of thing, he is also used to it.

I gave the copper plate to my wife, and my wife hurried to buy tomorrow's food, they were four people living in a room, in fact, they gave birth to several sons, but in the previous winter, the family did not have enough clothes, five children were frostbitten, and three died, and when they died, they were wrapped in straw mats, and they lost it, and they cried, and now there are two left, and they have no money to take medicine, and they rely on their bodies to survive, and they are in good health, and they can go to work for two years, and at that time there are enough things to eat at home.

This is a silent sorrow, no mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, no bones like the original, no mourning all over the wilderness.

Some are just dark and silent, a rickety figure, how can there be any love, romance, fierce mood, and some are just people like the remnants of Xiao Xiao's first fall, living in a desperate alley, and they don't bother to pay attention to the leaden gray sky.

This scene, Sid has seen many times in Star Maple King City, and similar things happen every day, the difference is that some survived and then continued to the next time, and some died after surviving I don't know how many times.

Therefore, she hid the matter of Star Maple King City, and she helped Bai and Livia, because Bai and Livia established a workshop there, and the workshop did not eat black bread, vegetables, bread, and even meat and salt.

The workshop taught them how to practice their skills, how to become professionals, taught them to read, and told them that the world is more than that, that there is love in this world, not to get married in order to have children or vent desires, and that there are more beautiful things in this world, not that there are hazy days and nights, singing and dancing, beautiful people like jade, wind and snow, and that beautiful thing is called ...... Wish.

What is hope?

Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to do without brown bread.

Hopefully, every day you wake up with a new head.

The hope is that instead of thinking about how to live, I can think about what to eat for dinner.

Hopefully...... Although I was in the dark, I still believed that everything would be better.

Will the insensitives of the slums be convinced that everything will be fine? No, all they have is despair.

But the people in that workshop, after a while, began to believe it.

Thinking of this, Sid's face suddenly became like gold paper, spit out a mouthful of blood, and sat directly in place, his eyes were blank, his face was confused, what should he do!? What to do?!
