Chapter 29: Make Her Love You (2-in-1)
Natan woke up between the cold and the pain, especially in the back, the burning pain getting worse with the level of wakefulness.
"He's awake!"
"I don't think he's the son of a priest, do I? Look at him like that. ”
"How is that possible! If you look at his fine skin and tender meat, you can tell at a glance that he is a young master who has never done rough work. ”
"That's it, that's the Heavenly Mandate Chamber of Commerce, a large chamber of commerce with the Wall Sect backing it, what did they write...... The news that is written is definitely true! ”
"Hehe, you guys came late and didn't see the wonderful picture. When I came, I saw a few beggars behind the eldest young master......"
Unlike ordinary people who watched the excitement, most of the powerful people who rode in steam cars or horse-drawn carriages were frowning and didn't know what they were thinking.
It wasn't until the garrison came that the crowd dispersed in the dark alleyway. Natan was the only one sitting next to his father wrapped in rags.
Natan lowered his head and covered himself with rags, and from time to time a trembling voice came from the rags: "I am not Natan!" You're mistaken! I'm not Natan! ”
That night, Tozo, who was stationed in the corps, drank with his friends in the tavern and talked about the incident.
After word of mouth, this matter has gradually become a national topic within Ruth's Wall, and anyone who has nothing to say a word or two.
It is embarrassing that the son of the once glorious great priest has finally become like this.
At the same time, they also learned a new term: "pit daddy".
......
The next day, the daily newspaper of the Mandate of Heaven was released as usual, and a bunch of people had gathered in front of the newsstand, waiting for today's newspaper.
The magnates in the steam cars and horse-drawn carriages bought first, and after the sound of the steam engine departed, it was the middle class inside Ruth's Wall who bought the newspapers.
They took out the coins, took the ink-scented paper from the newsstand owner, glanced at the headline, and looked interested.
He rolled up the newspaper, tucked it under his arm, and left in high spirits.
Then there are some literate people who are short of money, and they tend to scrape together a share of money, buy a newspaper from the newsstand owner, and then take another one to read carefully.
After being busy for a long time, the newsstand owner pondered the time, took out a newspaper and coughed twice, and began to follow what was written on it.
People who had no money to buy newspapers, or who were reluctant to buy newspapers, rushed up to listen to the newspaper of the newsstand owner quietly.
Gradually, in this era of relatively scarce entertainment, buying newspapers, listening to newspapers, and learning about the latest information has become a new kind of entertainment.
“....... The dragon tore through the clouds and spewed hellfire, and Athor's army ...... at once," the newsstand owner stopped, and moistened his throat with a sip of water.
The people sitting around the newsstand urged, "Speak quickly! What will happen to Thor's army? ”
"That's it, hurry up!"
"Ahem~" The newsbooth owner cleared his throat, glanced at the newspaper, opened his mouth and said: "The Mandate of Heaven Department Store will officially open the day after tomorrow, and the address is in ......"
"Alright, boss! How long has it been since the advertisements of the Destiny Department Store, so hurry up and tell the story serialized in the newspaper! It's really not good, you can change the advertisement! ”
"Isn't it okay for me to go to the opening of the Destiny Department Store? When you hear that your ears are calloused, tell a story! ”
The newsstand owner still read the advertisement unhurriedly, and then told the story serialized in the newspaper.
“...... Dragon's blood is pouring down on the earth like a torrential rain, and those who are lucky enough to bathe in dragon's blood will have a chance to become dragon-blooded warriors!
Okay, this issue is serialized here, if you want to continue to understand the plot, buy today's newspaper, and if you don't have money, wait until tomorrow. ”
"Alas~ Who has bought a newspaper? Tell me if Tovar became a Dragon-Blood Warrior? ”
"Who bought it?"
"Literate or not? How many of us are together? ”
......
There are countless similar stories in dreams, and Yaeki only needs to find a reading material that adapts to the crowd inside the walls, and then excerpts from it.
The newspaper has already been typed, and at first there were powerful people who stopped it, afraid that one day they would also be in the news because of something.
In the end, the Mandate of Heaven Daily simply released the news, saying that they did not write the information inside the walls of Sheena, and under the money offensive of the Mandate of Heaven Chamber of Commerce, most of the powerful people gradually agreed.
After all, the Mandate of Heaven Daily has also become a channel for them to learn about information.
There are also serialized stories in the daily newspaper of Destiny, which makes them even more addictive.
Even the powerful people drove directly to the headquarters of the Mandate of Heaven Chamber of Commerce, threatening to buy all the follow-up plots of that author......
At this time, the royal magnates still didn't know how terrible the consequences of being controlled by the Heavenly Mandate Chamber of Commerce were after controlling public opinion.
It's not that there are no chambers of commerce that want to run newspapers, but unfortunately they don't have newsstands, so they can only sell newspapers through the methods of newsboys.
And selling newspapers is a completely money-losing job for other chambers of commerce......
There are also chambers of commerce that run newspapers regardless of losing money, but they can't find any good information to report, and the interesting stories that happened inside Ruth's Wall have long been published by the Destiny Daily.
What makes those chambers of commerce feel even more hateful, after the operation of the Mandate of Heaven, the parliament even made a special decree, saying that it is a copyright issue.
If the information of the Mandate of Heaven is published, wait for the trial!
It is not without the fact that the Commercial Daily published eye-catching fake news, but it was exposed by the Mandate of Heaven Daily the next day, and the harm of fake news was popularized to the public.
By the way, the chamber of commerce behind the business newspaper was shaken out, which made the people subconsciously resist that business.
With the development of the "advertisement" position, Yaeji unexpectedly found that newspapers were gradually becoming something that could make money.
In addition to advertising their own products, other chambers of commerce have to pay a lot of money if they want to win an advertising space.
Who made the Manifest Destiny Daily so wide?
Time passes.
Reclamation area.
"Bang! ——”
Mikasa kicks and breaks the ground ruffian who is molesting a blonde petite girl!
A few young people who had just finished work not far away shook their heads and said, "That kid didn't know where he came from, and he actually dared to bully Lance, didn't he know that there was Ackerman by her side?" ”
"Alas~ The reclamation area is not big, but it is not small, and it is normal for hundreds of thousands of people to come from other areas."
"Let's go, don't look at it!" The man next to him beckoned, "Beware of Ackerman treating you as ruffians who want to stir up trouble." ”
"Go, go, we're good citizens! Even if Ackerman misunderstood, the little angel Lance would have stood up and spoken for us! ”
"Tsk, little angel, it's so intimate. It's good that your little angel has Ackerman by his side, otherwise ......"
"Don't think about it, I feel that it won't be long before Ackerman will be taken away by the Training Corps, and I have seen those officers of the Training Corps come to Ackerman more than once. If Ackerman hadn't worried about Lance, I'd have gone long ago. ”
"That's also their business, if you don't leave, we won't even be able to eat!"
"Let's go!"
The exchange of several people was not far away, and Mikasa and Hrista could hear it completely.
This is the reclamation area.
The oversized giants broke through the walls, causing the Wall of Mary to fall, and most of the refugees from the Wall of Mary are located here.
The supplies inside Ruth's Wall simply could not afford the rations of the hundreds of thousands of refugees, who had to be assigned to the reclamation area, working hard and self-sufficient.
At this stage, it seems that the refugees in the reclamation area are still a long way from the situation of self-sufficiency, and it is not known what the royal nobles within the walls of Sheena will decide.
The 'Ackerman' in their mouths is Mikasa, the "heroine" in the original timeline, Yaeki's little maid in the current timeline, and the sharp knife in the secret.
'Lance' is a chrysta, a petite girl with blonde hair, who is naturally soft-natured, and even mad animals will calm and get close to her.
Christa Lance is a pseudonym, and the little girl is actually the illegitimate daughter of the rulers of the inner world of the wall, and is not treated well by the nobles, who consider her to be of a dirty origin.
Because she was chased and killed by the bigwigs in the gendarmes, her father cut off relations with her and sent her to the reclamation area, which escaped.
Without Yaeji's involvement, she would eventually become the new puppet king controlled by the Survey Corps after her father's death.
The reason why Yaeki didn't send Mikasa directly to the training corps was because on the one hand, he wanted to make the background watertight, and on the other hand, it was naturally for the sake of the little girl Christa.
Instead of letting the Survey Corps support her as a puppet new king, let him support her as a new king, at least Yae Ji dares to guarantee that no one will force her to do something she doesn't like.
In Yaeji's view, in his hands, Hrista will at least not become a fertility machine in the original timeline.
With this kind of thinking, it also led to the scene just now.
"Thank you." Hrista whispered.
Mikasa's face didn't see any change, and he pulled Herista up and looked at it carefully, before finally asking, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
"Nope." Hrista lowered her head, "Am I giving Mikasa trouble to you again?" ”
"How so? I'm so happy to have a good friend like you in the reclamation area. ”
Mikasa is telling the truth.
At first, when she approached Khrista, she was really in the mindset of completing the task, and as time went on, she really took Khrysta, a cute girl who looked a little younger than her, as a friend.
Anyway, the master's job is to make me friends with her, and I'm right to do so. Mikasa thinks so every time.
"Shall we go to dinner? I asked Ymir to help take his place. ”
"Hmm." The blonde nodded, took Mikasa's hand, and walked with Mikasa to the building in the distance.
Mikasa raised his head and looked at the large building with the emblem of the Mandate of Heaven Chamber of Commerce hanging on it, faintly reflecting the golden glow in the setting sun.
'This is the industrial area of the Mandate of Heaven Chamber of Commerce, and it is the owner's industry. ’
Yes, Yaeji relied on the power of the Bijiao to find a relationship and obtained a part of the land in the reclamation area, where the cheapest labor can be used.
All the Heavenly Mandate Chamber of Commerce has to do is provide them with their daily share of meals and standard group housing.
Even with the reclamation area, these refugees are still consuming the food reserves within Ruth's Wall, and there are quite a few of them.
It stands to reason that if you can get rid of this hot potato, those powerful people can't wait to do it.
In fact, never underestimate the greed of that group, Yaeki still spent a lot of money to get land and a small number of refugees.
This is still something that I got after a long time of consultation with those politicians.
The industrial park under the Mandate of Heaven Chamber of Commerce provides standard group housing and daily meals, which is already considered a paradise for the refugees in the reclamation area.
On weekdays, they had to work hard to get the pitiful little dry hard bread they had to replenish every day.
Because of this, the mortality rate of refugees in the reclamation area remains high.
Now those who have fled have dreamed of entering the industrial park of the Mandate of Heaven Chamber of Commerce to work, at least under the banner of Mandate of Heaven, they can still feel the fact that they are individuals.
After dinner.
Mikasa took Christa around again, followed by a expressionless Ymir.
Ymir, the most trusted person in Herista in the original timeline, is positioned as a best friend.
Now Mikasa has intervened in it, and the relationship between the three of them is quite delicate. At least in Mikasa's opinion, Hrysta is closer to himself.
In the small dormitory, after everyone had rested, Mikasa opened his eyes, rolled over and got out of bed, like a cat, without making any movement.
It wasn't until Mikasa walked out of the room that Ymir, who was originally "asleep", opened his eyes.
In the Providence Industrial Zone, Mikasa easily dodged the lazy soldiers of the garrison. Compared to the rest of the Reclamation, this is the most lax-governed place, because only fools want to leave.
On the contrary, the management of the "border" area is stricter, because every day many people want to enter the paradise of the Mandate of Heaven Industrial Zone by "crossing the zone".
Mikasa evades the guards with ease, and finally finds himself in a secret room.
Bowing slightly, "Miss Kamiyo." ”
"Hmm."
Under the candlelight, the god of Rishi, who has long purple hair and a beautiful face, and is dressed in a maid costume that has not changed for thousands of years, is even more mysterious.
Behind her smile, no one could see through the maid's thoughts.
"Tell me about the monthly report, how is your relationship with that little girl in Hrysta?"
Mikasa felt a little awkward in his heart, when friendship was mixed with other factors, no one would be very comfortable.
"Hrista and I are already close friends, and today I also drove out the gangsters who crossed the district for her, when the number one ...... On the twenty-ninth ......"
Mikasa spoke very quickly and clearly, and told all the events of the month to Kamidai Riyo.
"Well done." Kamidese nodded, "Try to make Khrista your closest friend, and if possible, make her fall in love with you." ”
Mikasa's heart suddenly changed, and the expression on her little face became very exciting, and she looked up at Kamishiro Rishiyo, but unfortunately she couldn't discern any information from the maid's face.
"I'm right, take it easy, Mikasa-chan." Kamidairi came up behind Mikasa out of nowhere, and put his hand on his thin shoulder.
The upper body bent and whispered in Mikasa's ear, "Everything we do is beneficial to Herlista, and what she will become in the end is all in your hands." Do you want to see her happy and happy, or ......"
