Chapter 234: The Poor and the Rich
Iheom City generally shows a slope trend, with the upper floors being the rich and the lower ones being the places where the homeless, orphans, and beggars are living. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The gap between the rich and the poor here is particularly obvious, the poor have no human rights, the rich can run rampant, the poor can not offend the nobles, otherwise the moving axis will be tortured by chopping off the fingers and toes, but on the contrary, the rich can bully the poor at will, even if a rich man beats a poor person to death in broad daylight, he will only face a trivial punishment of compensation in the end...
Because Sambia is a purely commercial kingdom, there is no orthodox king in the country, and there is no royal family, the kingdom of Sambia is governed by a council composed of 10 large merchant families, and the top leaders of the country are elected by the members of the parliament, each term of office is 7 years, and then re-elected.
And the common problem of all commercial kingdoms, including Am, is that the law is not authoritative and universal.
In this country, as long as you have money, you yourself are the so-called law, and although there is a council in this country, in many areas it is generally the lords who choose to make themselves, for example, the laws of the kingdom of Sambia clearly stipulate that slaves are not allowed, but slaves can be seen everywhere in this country, because every territory has some laws made by each lord himself, and they do not take the laws of the kingdom of Sambia into account at all........
There was no way to do this, and even if the members of the Senbia council were not angry, they would have to turn a blind eye, because if they had taken any drastic measures, perhaps in one night, the vast kingdom of Sambia would have only one territory left in its capital, Oddurin......
"Damn untouchables, look what you've done? You've put your dirty hands on my precious clothes! ”
Not long after they entered the ore city in Acoste, several people heard a shrill scream coming from the street, a fat and bloated but unusually well-dressed merchant roaring hysterically in the middle of the street, and beneath his feet lay a little girl who was terrified but had unusually bright eyes.
Behind the little girl were broken oranges and apples, and you didn't have to think about it to know that this must be what the fat man was doing to bully the market before, and the little girl accidentally touched her hand into the other party's clothes in the struggle.......
But that's good, if you are beaten up one day, and the excuse of the person who beats you is actually that your presence pollutes the air he breathes, you know what it means to be truly unreasonable........
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this big man, you just let go of our ancestors and grandchildren, Elune she really didn't mean it, my granddaughter is still young and doesn't understand things, I will honor all these fresh fruits to you, you don't want to be like us poor people!"
At this time, a gray-haired old man ran from behind, he ignored his old bones, and knelt in front of the fat rich man and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, but what was waiting for him was not the other party's magnanimity, but an unceremonious kick.
"Poof!"
The old man was kicked directly to the ground, and the huge force made him roll backwards two or three times before stopping, the old man's body was pressed against the broken peel on the ground, and his body was red and yellow, and there was a lot of muddy mud, and with patched clothes and old tears, it made people look extremely bitter.........
"Grandpa!" The girl hurriedly ran over to help the old man up, but after the old man was helped up, he actually wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the rich businessman, begging the other party to let them go this time!
There were many people gathered on the street to watch this scene, there were poor people with miserable faces, there were businessmen with a cruel sneer on the corners of their mouths, and there were also a few patrolling guards, but among so many people, no one came forward to stop the rich man from committing violence!
The fat man in the field sneered cruelly, completely ignoring the other party's words begging for mercy, and rushed up to give him another kick.
"Don't bully my grandfather, Carl, what do you want!"
"Elune, come back!"
Surprisingly, the originally unknown girl suddenly stood up and blocked the fat merchant's way, and she stood alone in front of the fat man, despite her grandfather's shouts behind her.
Although her clothes were very plain, and there was a lot of dirt on her face and hands, her big eyes were unusually clear, staring at each other like a bay of autumn water.
"Hehe, you actually asked me what I wanted? In the kingdom of Sambia, in the face of you lowly ground rats, it is not that I want to do to you, you can do what you want! The fat man, known as Karl, said with an arrogant expression, and his words made the poor people around him look angry, but that was all.......
They definitely don't have the courage to let go of their hands and feet to beat each other, or rather, after such a long period of rule, they have accepted the fact that they are inferior, and they have no idea of fighting anymore.
"But since you've asked me, it's not like I can't give you a chance." The fat man named Carl suddenly smiled obscenely, and the pair of eyes that couldn't see the eyeballs clearly when they laughed stared at the girl's body with squinting eyes.
With a slender and tall figure, slender and round legs, a waist that can be held in a hand, the proud twin peaks that even a wide coarse linen coat can't hide, and a pair of eyes as bright as clear lake water, Carl really can't imagine how such a beautiful beauty could be born in this poor area.
"As long as you're willing to come with me, I'll ....."
"Impossible! Don't be delusional, I can't marry you even if I commit suicide! “
Before Carl could finish speaking, the girl refused in a very positive tone, without the slightest room for turn.
Obviously, this is not the first time that the other party has made this kind of request, but every time the girl refuses, the businessman does not seem to have thought about using force, but every time the girl commits suicide, which makes the fat rich man have no good way.
"Why are you rejecting me? You are just a poor man, a poor man who can only live in the vegetable field every day, under the sun, bending over, toiling in the field full of earthworms and insects, and I am a rich man, follow me, you can enjoy white bread and milk every day without hard work, follow me, you will have new clothes to wear every day, follow me, you can attend all kinds of high-end banquets, step into the life of high society, this is your only chance to change yourself, what reason do you have to refuse me! “
Karl snarled a little hysterically, but when the other party questioned him, the girl only gave him a disdainful look.
"I'm not going to marry myself to a vampire, you're just an opportunistic waste who only enjoys the glory of your father's generation. “
"Okay, good, backbone, you dare to call me a waste, I think you are impatient." Karl laughed angrily, and he waved his big bloated hand, and suddenly a group of thugs rushed up from behind him, wrapping the poor pair of grandparents and grandchildren tightly.
"Tell you, you must belong to me, now give you two choices, either you go with me now, I will let you two go, or I will kill your grandfather in front of you now, you can choose to kill yourself, but I will take back your cold corpse at that time, wash it and put it on the soft big bed, what wonderful things will happen at that time? Hahaha..... Forehead? “
Karl laughed loudly, but her bohemian smug voice did not last long, because a silver-haired boy appeared strangely in front of him, and looked at each other with a smile on his face.
"You.... You... Who are you?! “
The fat man was startled, he was just a blink of an eye in front of him, and such a big living person appeared in front of him for no reason, and everyone was scared away from his soul in a sudden way.
"You are not qualified to know who I am, but you just need to know that I see you unhappy and want to mess with you."
Acoste showed a pair of white teeth, and his left hand hit Carl's soft stomach at the same time as the words fell, and the group leader next to him found that Carl was hit directly opposite the back suddenly protruded, you can imagine how powerful this fist is!
"Ahem, cough, ............"
The fat man couldn't even scream after being hit........
His bloated body slowly softened, kneeling on the ground and retching, of course, this is the result of the mercy of the half-elf sword saint's subordinates, otherwise he really wants to punch with his own strength of 30 points, I'm afraid that Carl can't even find the fragments of the corpse at this time......
"Who are you!"
The villains in front heard the movement coming from behind, but when they turned around, they found that their master had been thrown to the ground......
They decisively left Elune and her grandfather behind and roared towards Acoste to clean him up, but a tall, mighty, armored human warrior walked out of the way with a smile and stood in front of the thugs.
"Do you want to do some exercise that is good for your physical and mental health, I'm happy to accompany you." Kranvo moved his muscles and grabbed the nearest thug to him, lifted him into the air with a loud shout, and threw him out like garbage.
"You, who are you? Do you know what you're doing? He is Karl. Count Like, one of the richest men in Iheom, are you not afraid of death in doing so? ”
The other thugs were a little frightened, and they trembled and threatened, but they were greeted by a deep and complex spell.
"Ah, help, put us down, put us down!"
The group of thugs found a woman with a better figure but a veil coming from the side and pointing a finger at them, and they were all floating in the air, which scared them, and a group of people cried and begged for mercy, not at all the look of stubble in front of them.
As for the guards who had already leaned over, they all stopped after seeing Midnight Dew's technique......
Just kidding, the other party is a witch, and she will only help that dead fat man to get out of the way unless she is full!
Mage, in the kingdom of Sambia is a highly respected profession.
The first faith here is undoubtedly the goddess of wealth, Wokin, and the second belief is nothing else, it is the god of mages, Azus!
There are many people here who will confuse the god of mages with the goddess of magic, thinking that the priesthood of the goddess of magic is magic, and the priesthood of Azus is a mage, isn't the two priesthoods a bit overlapping?
Because those ignorant people always think that mages can represent magic, and mages are the spokesmen of magic, but in fact the opposite is true, mages are only a small part of the wizarding world.
As a very simple example, Warlocks also use spells, but Azus can't control them because they and mages are two classes., but the Goddess of Magic can manage both, because both of them use magic....
That's why Mystra is stronger than Azus.
A short time later, a well-equipped garrison arrived.
This is a patrol team that was nicknamed the Mine Squad in the previous life, they are powerful, everyone has the level of high-level home buyers, and at the same time, they are well-equipped, they are all top-level enchanted weapons and armor, in peacetime, the residents of Iheom City do not see them patrolling, and only when they encounter some difficulties that ordinary troops cannot solve, they will come forward.
"Come with us, you're suspected of attacking Carl. Mr. Rick, don't make some unnecessary resistance. ”
The first warrior was majestic, he was more than 2 meters tall, standing in front of Acoste and setting off the half-elf like a child, and at the same time wearing all-gold armor, a giant sword the size of a human was hanging horizontally behind his back, making this warrior look more like the reincarnation of the god of war and could not be defeated.
This elite guard obviously knew the cause of the incident before setting off, so the warrior didn't ask too much about the situation, and was about to take Acoste and them away as soon as they came, but the half-elf sword master didn't want to be caught like that.
"I'm sorry, sir, I can't just go with you." Acoste saw that the other party's big palm was stretched out towards him, and he stretched out his hand to clasp the opponent's wrist without fear, and the warrior leader's expression suddenly changed!
"But I don't want to get in trouble, so I'm asking for a property fight! Let Wokin, the god of wealth, determine which of us is right..." )
