Chapter 557: Western Frontier (3)
"So little?" I'm a little dissatisfied.
"It's a concentrate," said the goblin, "and it only takes a little bit to make a big glass, and if you want something else, you can add different spices, such as juice, honey or spirits, do you want the spices?" β
"No need." I say.
Leo said: "If you think about it, how many concentrated fruit juice drinks I drank at the beginning, and there was sugar in it......
After putting away the concentrated essence, I walked out with Sansan.
The goblin shouted to slow me off, and after stepping out, I asked Leo, "Is he scolding me behind my back?" β
"Kudos you," said Leo, "he says you're a stupid and coarse minotaur, and you're cunning more cunning than a goblin!" β
"Hehe......" I smiled nonchalantly.
"Uncle......" Sansan said, "Did we eat two gold coins for the meal just now?" β
"yes!" I was a little surprised, "What, you're going to settle accounts?" β
Sansan shook his head: "I won't, the uncle in the store will settle the accounts, but, but, however, the uncle can't earn two gold coins a year......
I was a little surprised and asked, "So, how many gold coins does your family make a year?" β
Sansan thought for a while and said, "When my mother died, my father said that eighty silver coins a year were not enough to spend before, but they will be enough to spend in the future......"
I think of the income of a family in Weil Village, which is about that much, and a family like ours earns about two gold coins. Leo suddenly said: "The income of urban residents is not the same as your rural area, the goods you sell to the goblins will be multiplied several times when they arrive in the city, according to this multiplier, the income of the little rabbit family in your village is probably less than twenty silver coins, in other words, your family's income is at least five to eight gold coins in Chengli!" β
I was a little surprised.
I thought that the "people's suffering" I had seen was already intuitive, but when it came to money, the gap was even bigger than I thought.
Putting aside what Leo said, just by looking at the salaries of the Bloodhoof and the Guardian Warriors, we know that any Rage Warrior can easily feed a large family, and for the weak race, the Wrath Warrior's monthly salary is equivalent to a year or even two years of hard work.
Not to mention this, even if me, Atayal, Ilu and Bojie get together, they can eat up the income of ordinary people for a month or two.
Thinking about this, I feel a little sad.
I touched the Taiyin stone necklace on my chest and said, "There will come a day when everyone will be able to live a good life and no longer be poor." β
"Really?" Three or three questions.
"That's what I'm going to do!" I say.
"Uncle, you're going to be a thief?" This time it was Sansan's turn to be surprised.
"It's not!" I shook my head and said, "Grand Theft Doesn't Solve the Problem......"
"It's also ......," said Sansan, "and the story says that the thieves gave the rich the bad the head to the poor, and our family never got it!" β
"That's not what I mean," I said, "what I'm going to do is ...... Forget it, you don't understand, in short, don't worry, I will let you live a good life! β
"Hmm!" Sansan and a half nodded incomprehensibly and said, "I believe in you, uncle, but now that I have anger, I will help you!" β
"Your anger is still too weak, and protecting yourself is the greatest help to me." I say.
"I'll try," said Sansan, "but uncle, don't you eat such an expensive meal anymore, wouldn't it be better for us to go out hunting?" β
"Well," I said, "there are actually some in the barracks that don't require money, and I just want to come out and taste human food." β
"Humans and elves are our enemies, and their food is not tasty!" Sansan said.
"I'm just curious, you think so much." I say.
Leo smiled and said, "Patriotic education is doing a good job!" β
There were a lot of shops on the road, in fact, small houses around the outer wall of the Minotaur camp, in addition to goblins and trolls, there were many other races, just like Animo City, I saw a lot of subhuman races, and even humans.
In Animo City, I saw humans in cages as exhibits, and here, they were not exhibits, they were slaves.
The humans, dressed in tattered clothes and shackled on their feet, were struggling to push a cart.
To be honest, this is unnecessary, whether it is the livestock pulling the cart, or our orcs, they can do better than humans, not to mention the powerful race, even the rat people and rabbit people, they can do it more efficiently than them without shackles.
So I see that this is a pure humiliation.
Overseeing these human slaves are a few werewolf soldiers.
This is on the middle street, and besides, this is the western border, and those werewolves did not change their faces when they saw me, so they let me and Sansan stand on the side of the road and watch.
Actually, except for me and Sansan, no one else noticed this scene.
Leo suddenly said, "There is a discovery...... The Five Ranger were in the alley that forked in the road ahead. β
I hurriedly walked forward with Sansan.
"You don't hide it from the bunny?" Leo said.
"Then you tell Auspicious to inform them," I said, "tell me about the situation here, and then go to the City of Chaos." β
"Why don't you just let the bunny fall asleep?" Leo asked.
"In broad daylight," I said, "there is no need for this. β
"You see, it's still a fixed mind," said Leo, "and I'll tell them to come back in the evening, and you go shopping first." β
I continued to wander along the avenue with Sansan.
The avenue is longer than the orc avenue in Animo City, but it is much less prosperous, and there is no other type except for military camps and shops.
The side we walked on was from the Leon Alliance, which was naturally a place where the minotaur and elephant trolls gathered, and the barracks were lined up all the way to the east, plus the scattered camps of the small races, and there were even no shops in many places, and it was directly the outer wall of the camp. The outer wall is also divided into many kinds, the lion tribe is a complete stone wall, at first glance it took a lot of priests' energy to build, the opposite tiger clan is similar, correspondingly, our minotaur and elephant man troll camp is a mixture of wood and stone, the opposite wolf clan, leopard clan, bear clan, rhino clan is also similar, and the weaker fox man hawkman and the like, the camp is only left with a wooden fence wall.
At the easternmost end of the avenue is also a big car shop, full of all kinds of eastbound cars, richly decorated, driven by aristocratic cars, almost also military officers and wealthy businessmen, and even a little more ordinary people can do pulling coaches, the worst is the simple trucks.
The entire western border, in fact, is just such a place, except for the "big stone pillar" of the lion and tiger clans, there is actually no more amazing place.
After all, this is the front line of the war, not a bustling and lively capital, and even if it covers a wider area, it is only an empty "wide", even if the streets are crowded with people.
What's more, there aren't as many people here as in Animo City.
There was also a small area that I didn't see, but that Leo told me aboutβthe military living quarters. It is where the families of the soldiers who are stationed here live.
It is said that the garrison here is rotated, but the rotation cycle is calculated on an annual basis, so it may be impossible to bring your family with you, not only to take care of your family, but also to facilitate yourself.
However, living here is also very insecure to face the threat of war.
Of course, the fact that we have been able to hold out for so many years shows that this place is still very safe, and humans and elves cannot attack it.
After almost half a circle, I was about to walk back, but I met someone I didn't expect - Gauss!
"Blood Hammer!" Gauss recognized me first and came up to say hello, "You're here!" β
"How did you know I was coming?" I was a little surprised.
"You're the champion, of course you should come!" Gauss said, "I heard about what you experienced that day, and it was amazing! However, I heard that Orleans slashed him...... Alas! β
"It's a good thing you didn't join his team." I say it sincerely.
"I don't like this kind of thing where my friends become superiors," said Gauss, "and I am a ranger just to be free!" β
"I know," I nodded.
"By the way, did you see the Sky Breaker Gun that day?" "I've heard they're wanted," Gauss said. β
"Them?" I said, "I haven't seen them for a long time since I chased them that day, but I haven't seen them since. β
"It's a pity, they could have served the clan, but they took such a path......" Gauss sighed, "I heard that they fled here, if you see it, persuade them, after all, with their strength, it is okay to make meritorious deeds!" β
"Oh? How did you have such an idea? "I'm a little weird.
"You're now the commander of the Minotaur forces, aren't you?" Gauss smiled and said, "I'm also working for the clan now......
"Didn't you say you like freedom?" I'm even weirder.
"I belong to the special forces, and I am directly under the command of the prince of Wren, and no one else can control me," Gauss said, "Specifically, I can't say, in short, I am half a professional soldier." β
"Special forces?" Leo said, "It's kind of interesting, it seems that the branch line on his body hasn't unfolded yet." β
"There's still a lot of side lines that haven't been expanded......" I said.
"By the way, what's the matter with this kid?" Only then did Gauss notice Sansan.
"A child of a disaster-stricken resident," I said, "I promised her father to take her in......"
"Why don't you just find a minotaur shop or a village?" Gauss said.
"She's very persistent," I said, "and, she awakens her anger!" β
"It's peculiar!" Gauss said, "There's always something strange happening around you!" β
"It's not a good thing, is it?" I said, "Always bring calamity to others!" β
"You didn't bring the calamity," said Gauss, "but you saved a lot of people." β
"I don't think so......" I shook my head, "I can't convince myself." "Memoirs of a bull head
