Chapter 20: Nanhai Town

When Claudia and Sir Hodge separated, she declined each other's polite invitations, but accepted another gift from Sir Hodge to her convoy, two sacks of grain and a large bag of sausages.

Back in the car, Partris wore a long white dress, and was looking out of the car with her hands and knees, her lake-blue eyes under her long eyelashes showed a little melancholy.

"Sister," asked Paltris, looking up at a swan-like neck and a stunningly clear collarbone:

"I don't understand why people would give up their dignity and honor for a little food, which is completely different from what Mentor Demitian said."

Claudia walked up to her and sat down on her knees, wrapping her right arm around her sister: "Because not everyone thinks that something is more important than survival, but these people are not willing to do evil, they just have no choice." As long as they repent of their sins, the Light will forgive them. ”

"Hmm," Partris replied with a low voice, then asked with some hesitation, "Can we help them?" ”

Claudia was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head: "No way, our ability is limited, we can only wait until Nanhai Town gets on the ship, and then we can take out the excess food......"

Coo-coo.

Claudia hugged her sister's right hand and felt the vibration of her sister's abdomen, and then Partris's white jade face instantly flushed with shame.

Claudia suddenly understood something, and asked with some distress: "Did you secretly save your own food for those refugees again?" Just hugged your knees and you were hungry, right? ”

Partris bowed her head uneasily and said, "Yes...... I'm sorry, sister, but I don't think I usually need to eat so much...... It's a little ...... to be able to help. ”

Claudia didn't blame her sister, but doted on her sister's soft blonde hair, kissed her forehead and said, "No, it's all my fault, I will give you a part of the food every day for you to share with the refugees, but promise my sister not to share your own food with others in the future, okay?" ”

Partris took advantage of the situation to lean into her sister's arms and replied obediently, "Okay, sister." ”

"Also," Claudia advised, "try to avoid other people when giving food, it's good for us, and for whoever gets it." ”

Paltris answered, and Claudia got out of the car to get her sister something to eat.

Claudia's chest was also a little dull, she could see far more than her sister, and now the people were still restrained, because the food they carried with them had not been completely eaten, and they had hope for His Majesty King Greymane, and they did not dare to go too far, and in two or three months, as the food and patience ran out, it was impossible to say whether the desperate refugees would do such a thing as cannibalism.

The thought of what I should do flashed through her mind, but she then rejected the idea, what could she do? Distributing food to the refugees was the limit of what she could do, and the refugees lacked food, but she didn't have that much food.

Maybe there will be a way, faintly, an idea crossed her mind, but the girl never grasped it, and then she didn't think about it anymore and took care of her sister.

When they arrived at Southsea Town, as Sir Hodge had said, the form of the plague was far more serious than the Wall of Greymane.

This is not because the number of refugees in Southsea Town is as large as Sir Hodge said, but it is much smaller than that of the Wall of Greymane--- many of whom have left here in order to survive and choose to continue south to the Kingdom of Riptide Castle, the reason why the situation is so serious is because Southsea Town is too small.

Although there are many large farms around Nanhai Town, Nanhai Town is only a town after all, and its economy depends on sea trade and fishing, so when thousands of hungry victims arrive, it has caused a huge impact on the local order, and the victims have done everything to survive, stealing, robbing, selling themselves, and killing each other.

When Claudia and her sister arrived, they went straight to the hotel in town, and instead of wearing armor, she wore a green tight-fitting hunting suit, which gave the girl a youthful and playful vitality, and Paltris on the side was dressed in snow white, followed by the Sir Rhine family and Natalie.

Claudia didn't encounter much harassment in the town, which was not to say that the situation had eased, because under the iron fist of Mayor Henny Mareb, order in the town during the day was still at least guaranteed.

"Distinguished guest, you would like something." Anderson, the innkeeper, greeted him enthusiastically, and all those who did this business had a good eye, and he quickly judged the class of the girls from a long distance.

Claudia replied, "I'm looking for Roddy Clumbus, whose former lord I was. ”

Anderson couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God, you just knew you were here--- that guy Roddy must be very excited." ”

"Quick, go and ask Roddy to come down." Anderson instructed the guys around him.

Soon, a middle-aged man with yellowed skin and limping on crutches appeared at the top of the stairs, and when he saw Claudia, he had an incredulous look on his face, and he trembled and raised his crutches to come over.

Claudia hurriedly walked over and helped him, "Watch out for the steps, Uncle Roddy. ”

Steward Luo Di's eyes were filled with tears, and he reached out and touched the girl's side face: "Holy light, miss, it's really you, it's so good, it's so good!" ”

Claudia laughed, "Okay, okay, I'm alive and well, and you're going to be angry if you don't notice Paltris." ”

Partris, who had been waiting for a long time and pretending to be crying, was noticed by Roddy's housekeeper, and hurriedly said: "I haven't seen the little lady for half a year, but she is a lot more beautiful, haha......." ”

Two hours later, the Rhine family and Natalie had settled down, although there were many people nearby, but few had money to stay in the hotel--- rich people had already fled to Stormwind by boat.

Claudia and her sister also met Mrs. Mina, and after she became pregnant, she did not change her actions, and she cried and laughed for a long time when she saw Claudia.

After a brief reunion and chat, Claudia called Roddy's housekeeper downstairs alone, and asked for a glass of wine and a large glass of beer for herself and Roddy's housekeeper, and asked about business:

"Captain Capet, how are they doing?"

Roddy picked up the ale and drank a large glass, and then said: "The form is not very good, when we set off on our journey, more than a thousand people, some were killed by werewolves and undead creatures on the way, and after arriving here, a large number of people went to the Torrent Fort Kingdom to survive, and now there are more than four hundred left who are unwilling to go, and they are all camped outside the town." ”

Claudia couldn't help but wonder when she heard this: "Why don't they continue to go south?" ”

Steward Luo Di couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Miss, there is no way to survive in the south, the number of people in the Torrent Castle Kingdom has always been the smallest among the Seven Kingdoms, it is precisely because the land is too barren to survive, otherwise it would not have been abandoned by our ancestors in the first place." ”

"And where can you continue to run after escaping to Fort Riptide? Further south are the harsh climate wetlands and snow-capped mountains of the plateau, without adequate preparation, ordinary people simply can't survive, if Nanhai Town will starve to death one person, further south will starve to death three or even four. ”

Claudia couldn't help but gasp when she heard this, and then asked with concern, "Our people, how are you now?" ”

Roddy replied, "It's not going well. ”

Then he said with some uneasiness: "I'm sorry, miss, in order to feed them, I took out a part of your property to buy food for them." ”

Claudia didn't care: "It's okay, I will always believe in you." Speaking of which, I'm not a competent lord, otherwise they wouldn't have had to flee their homes. ”

The girl didn't care about making Luo Di breathe a sigh of relief, but he frowned when he thought of the next form and said: "But this won't last long, food is getting more and more expensive, and soon, it is estimated that no matter how much money you have, you won't be able to buy food, before you came, I was worried about their livelihood." ”

Claudia was also in distress, she couldn't make much food, and if she couldn't meet it, it would be fine, since she had met it, these must be her people, and she couldn't let it go.

She lifted her glass, took a sip, and asked, "How long can we last?" ”

"With what we brought and bought, even if we try to save food and supplement some of it for hunting, it is estimated that it will last for a month and a half." Steward Roddy replied immediately, apparently having counted it many times.

Claudia put her hand on her forehead and said with a headache: "Don't worry, I'll figure it out, there's still more than a month." ”

Roddy was about to say something, but was interrupted by an uninvited guest, and a young victim ran in front of him in a panic:

"Oh no, Lord Roddy, Lord Capet is surrounded outside the town."

Luo Di was shocked and angry: "How is it possible, Capet's martial arts are strong, how many people are on the other side, Garin?" ”

The young man named Garin hurriedly said: "Although there are more than a dozen of them, they are all so strong, we are not their opponents at all, even Lord Diam was knocked away by one of them." ”

Claudia suddenly spoke: "Uncle Roddy, you don't have a leg or foot, I'll go with him and take a look." ”

Garin looked at the beautiful blonde girl next to him suspiciously, because Claudia had not spent much time in the territory since she inherited the territory, so he did not know Claudia.

Roddy refused, saying, "No, miss, it's too dangerous, let's find a way to ask the mayor for help." ”

"Don't worry," Claudia didn't care, "I've reached the middle level of the elite, just a group of robbers, what danger can there be." ”

Steward Luo Di was still a little hesitant, he knew the strength of the elite middle rank, but he was still a little uneasy.

The girl saw his uneasiness, and took the initiative to speak: "In this way, let Uncle Rhine accompany me, do you know him?" Also, don't let Paltris know about it, and let her spend more time with Aunt Mina. ”

Roddy agreed, and then Claudia called Sir Rhine, explained the general situation, and set off with the young man.
