Chapter 221: Poverty Under Prosperity (September 60 Monthly Pass Update)

Wang Yan chose to stop the off-road jeep, and then got out of the car with Forrest Gump, and when Wang Yan put away the off-road jeep, a large empty position suddenly came out on the road, which attracted the attention of many people, and they looked at the burly Forrest Gump Zuo and Wang Yan in gorgeous cloth armor from time to time, with ill intentions in their eyes.

"Someone is staring at us, no one has dared to be so bold in a long time, hehe." Seeing this, Wang Yan laughed, he waved his hand and took out a long broom, and without waiting for Forrest Gump to say anything, he flew into the air more than ten meters high on the broom.

"This kid!" Forrest Gump looked up at Wang Yan, who was flying back and forth in the air and attracted the attention of a large number of people, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and then Wang Yan lowered his flight altitude, and many pedestrians were far away from these two professionals who were very powerful at first glance, after all, where would the magician who could master the broom flight appear in the dilapidated old street on weekdays? The bustling central streets and West Coast cities are their favourites.

"I saw Grandma Oran's yard, come with me." Wang Yan said the results of his observations, and then he floated forward on a broom suspended more than a meter high, and the pedestrians in front of him hurriedly got out of the way, and the sight of those peeping at the two disappeared as early as when Wang Yan rode the broom and flew into the sky, a magician who can fly? Can't afford to provoke!

"How did you find it, it's full of people, and the house looks pretty much the same from the sky." Forrest Gump followed Wang Yan's side and asked inexplicably.

"Hah, there's only one courtyard full of birds, how do you think I know?" Wang Yan smiled, the place that can make a large number of birds reluctant to leave is definitely the residence of Grandma Oran that Wang Yan guessed, after all, the other party is a pet trainer and has mastered the skills to communicate with various creatures, which is very similar to Grandma Oran, but Celia can communicate with plants, which Grandma Oran can't compare.

Leaving the old street where people come and go, Wang Yan took Forrest Gump Zuo through the alley only two meters wide, and when he saw Forrest Gump Zuo who was burly and carrying a giant sword, those civilians sitting in the alley chatting hurriedly got out of the way, ordinary warriors were enough to make them ordinary people worse than death, not to mention such a powerful warrior?

"Sure enough, under the prosperity of Huttonmar, there is still poverty and backwardness that cannot be concealed." Riding on a broom and flying in the air, Wang Yan observed everything below, in the perspective of the live broadcast room, a series of low-rise bungalows crossed the line of sight, all kinds of naughty children in short-sleeved linen robes chased and frolicked in the lanes, and a few stones could play for a long time.

Most of the adults passing by on the road are in a hurry, Wang Yan observed for a while, it is rare to see young people who are about the same age as themselves here, most of the pedestrians below are children and the elderly, and the occasional middle-aged people who pass by are also full of meat and seem to be gang members, Wang Yan saw the behavior of the other party picking up the fruit on the stall and nibbling on it and leaving, but he can't care about it, there may be such a thing in this city anytime and anywhere, even if Wang Yan is busy every day until night, he can't take care of this old street with more than 10,000 people, not to mention the other, darker areas of Huttonmar.

"That's natural, the principality is located in the west of the continent, it is a famous grain producing area on the mainland, it is only divided into citizens and nobles, the class gap between them is not large, as long as the citizens are willing to work, it is still enough to support their families." Forrest Gump heard Wang Yan's self-talk in mid-air, he shook his head, the principality has done a very good job of taking care of its citizens, which is why Queen Skadi was able to sit on the throne.

"You haven't been to the empire, where the slave system is still practiced, the slaves, the poor, the commoners, and the nobles are very different, the poor live a frightened life every day, even if the carriage of the nobles is frightened on the street, they will be pulled to labor, how many people are sold into slavery by the nobles in desperation, and live a life of repetitive labor in the dark."

"Civilians are better, they can live a decent life, find a job to support their families or start some small business, but this is also the reason for the shadow of the ancestors, once they make a mistake and lose their job, the whole family will go hungry."

"The aristocracy of the empire is mostly military officers, which is also the reason why the empire vigorously develops military power, these aristocratic officers have more or less private troops, and the high salaries of the empire still can't satisfy them, so they choose to oppress civilians or slaves to earn more money, and the empire also turns a blind eye to this, as long as it doesn't make a big mess, it won't care."

When Forrest Gump talked about the empire, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, when he traveled in the empire, he had rescued many slaves, but the other party had no hope of continuing to live, and would rather be whipped and eat a pitiful little leftovers than be treated as a helpless pauper.

"Hey, this doesn't seem to be the same as what I heard." Wang Yan lowered his flight altitude to the ground, he had already seen Grandma Oran sitting in the courtyard next door, and even saw the unexpected person: the forger Sinda.

"Heard? Seeing is believing, don't you know? Forrest Gump pouted, rumors say that the emperor is powerful, the domestic economy is prosperous, and foreign travelers and tourists are extremely safe, but this is only relative, the premise is that you have money and strength, otherwise you are a lamb to the slaughter.

"Forget it, I can't control this, now you are a nobleman of the principality, if you have any opinions, go to the queen to talk, now you are one of the people the queen values the most, I believe she will definitely value your opinion." Wang Yan walked out of the alleyway, and then stopped, even though he had seen the scene of birds hovering above the courtyard in the sky, but when he really stepped on the ground, he saw countless birds flying around the courtyard and chirping on the big trees in the courtyard, which had a great impact on the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Hey, how many birds must be there, I'm afraid it's not hundreds, and the species are not the same, are there any ornithology experts to see what kind of birds these are?"

"I'm a graduate student in ornithology, and I can barely recognize more than a dozen species of birds that are similar to the earth, and the rest of the strange ones must not be recognized, those birds with wings shining with fire and ice are not seen on Earth at all, and only the anchors on the Arad continent can see with their own eyes."

"666, there are really experts who study birds, how big have you seen birds?"

"Ahem, civilized speech."
