Volume 2: Epalai Chapter 19: The Rickety Body
In fact, in Alberta's heart, he looked at this poor teenager, this young man who was not even neatly dressed, wearing an old suit on his upper body, shorts on his lower body, barefoot and his clothes were full of patches, Alberta felt very sad in his heart. He looked at his former compatriots, and Alberta's heart felt like a knife in his heart......
Alberta looked at the teenager, but he saw an emotion in the boy's eyes: this emotion came from the depths of his heart, and there was a torrent of enthusiasm that was about to burst out! There is also the emotion of struggle against the unyielding struggle of fate! Alberta looked at the boy with a heart full of ups and downs.
He seemed to see the same but different experiences from this young man as he had in the past. Alberta said to the boy, "Are you done?" ”
The young man immediately nodded and said, "Uncle, the little one is finished...... If you don't dislike the little one, please reward you with a few copper coins...... If you ...... uncle"
Before the boy could finish speaking, Alberta raised his arm and slapped the boy in the face! The boy fell to the ground in an instant, blood gushing from the corners of his mouth...... Alberta said to himself in his heart, "I'm sorry...... But I need to find out if you're just as soft as those Epalai at the train station, or a warrior who dares to fight against fate! ”
The boy immediately fell to the ground, and he shook his head, realizing that the golden light was floating in front of his eyes...... The boy continued to shake his head, he tried to stand up, but he couldn't stand up all of a sudden, and by the time he realized it, blood was already pouring from the corners of his mouth......
The young man showed a murderous face in an instant! He peeked at this Oledeka man, and he said silently in his heart: "Why are you being a lackey to the Imperial, and you are still so insulting!" But the boy regained his composure for a moment, he stood up, and came to Alberta with a smile on his face: "Uncle...... Where is the little one waiting for the uncle, you are not satisfied! Uncle, you say it directly, look at it, the small face is yellow and thin, and the whole body is still dirty, so it is not worth your beating...... Don't get your hands dirty! ”
Alberta's heart ached. He looked at the young man again, and pretended to be calm and said, "Didn't you say that if you don't do a good job, you will have to be rewarded with a few slaps?" Rewarded by the uncle! You take it first! ”
The boy's heart was painful, but he didn't show it, he choked up and came to Alberta's side, and he said to Alberta, "Uncle...... You...... You see that you also slapped a small pass, you are like this, you are also a big man with a face, do you just give the small money to you? ”
Alberta nodded, and he smiled slowly: "You lean over and I'll settle the bill for you!" ”
The boy smiled and reached out. Alberta waved his hand and slapped the boy again...... Alberta was once on the death line, fighting the enemy to the death in the city, and his hands were naturally very strong. When he slapped the boy in the face, the boy fell to the ground again, and he even felt blood coming out of his mouth......
The boy couldn't take it anymore, he stood up, hugged Alberta hard, and he shouted angrily at Alberta, "Don't give money! You give me money, I gave you a long time, you don't give me money! You bully! You Imperials and Oledeckas bully! ”
As early as when Alberta beat this teenager, there were many people around, including many Epalai and Imperials, and the Imperials saw a "lackey" Oledecka beating Epalai people, and the Imperials showed excited expressions of joy. But the Epalai people bowed their heads......
Some of the Epalai people even gritted their teeth when they watched their compatriots being beaten, but none of them dared to resist...... At this time, Alberta rushed the young man who was shining his shoes, and the boy hugged Alberta so hard that some of the Epale people rushed up to help the boy beat the Olaideka man as if they were about to burst out of their eyes.
Alberta pretended to be nervous, he deliberately pretended to be panicked, and after being hugged by the teenager, he called out loudly in panic...... It was at this time that three Imperial vigilantes patrolling the train station, armed with sticks and pistols, saw an Oledka man being held by an Epale man. The three Imperial Security Corps soldiers ran up as fast as they could, pulled the panicked teenager away, and began beating him with sticks...... The boy cried out in pain when he was beaten, and he also uttered something insulting to the Empire...... The vigilantes refused to allow the poor boy to beat him even harder......
Alberta waved his hand, took out a document, handed it to the three vigilante soldiers, and said to them, "Okay, let this cheap bone go...... He's just an Epalai man, and he killed people, and we can't explain it......"
The three soldiers of the security team around looked at Alberta suspiciously, and the three of them thought, "How old are you?" The five people who wear it and six people really regard themselves as imperial people? ”
The vigilante soldiers were just about to get angry, and one of them saw Alberta's ID, and the soldier was shocked and immediately saluted Alberta: "Sir, my subordinates are rude!" Alberta nodded: "You guys go down, I'm in charge of this teenager......"
The three vigilante soldiers left as fast as they could......
Alberta's document reads: Third Class Sheriff of Port Epale, His Excellency Acton.
Of course, Alberta's documents are all fake names, and Alberta's status as a sheriff was entirely based on Lieutenant Colonel Erta, the second-class intelligence officer of the Principality of Casdilipa.
Therefore, the three security soldiers did not dare to provoke Alberta, and Alberta revealed his documents at this time, simply to see if they were as useful as Lieutenant Colonel Elta said.
Even the soldiers of the three vigilantes wondered why an Alberta Oledecker could be a key task for the Opperon Empire. But the three vigilante soldiers did not dare to provoke Alberta in the slightest.
After the three vigilante soldiers left, Alberta looked at the boy in front of him with a swollen face. The surrounding Epale people all looked at Alberta in fear. And the people of the empire were beaming. Alberta said to the people around him, "Spread out, spread out!" ”
After waiting for everyone around him to leave, Alberta squatted in front of the young man, who thought that Alberta was going to take his own life, and the young man sneered twice: "You Imperial people...... There will never be success in enslaving us Epalai! ”
Alberta nodded: "Do you hate?" Do you hate me? ”
The boy didn't speak, he lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Alberta. On the contrary, Alberta said, "Look at you, you don't even have the courage to look at me!" You're a coward...... If you don't know the greatness of power, you'll always bow your head before your enemies...... As it is now, turn into a cowardly coward. ”
The young man lowered his head coldly, he really didn't dare to meet Alberta's eyes: "Do you still want to humiliate me before killing me?" If this satisfies you, a lackey who is not a lackey of the Imperial, and who aspires to be an Oledka of the Imperial...... Please humiliate me as much as you can! ”
Alberta let out a long sigh: "Boy...... The second thing I'm going to tell you is that you should never take advantage of it, is it worth it for a few copper coins? And also...... Never insult forces you can't afford to mess with! ”
The boy was enraged again, and he had enough strength to get to his feet, and he strained himself to straighten his clumsy body, and he glared at Alberta.
Alberta also stood up, he looked at the boy and said to him, "Tell me your name!" ”
The boy said, "Octa Fa Derfan! ”
Alberta nodded: "Yes, a tough guy!" With that, Alberta threw a silver coin and handed it to Octa...... Alberta said to Octa, "I'll find you again!" ”
After Alberta finished speaking, he turned and left......
At this point, the boy said to Alberta, "What are you doing?" Are you insulting me? Oledeka people! ”
Alberta smiled, and he slowly came back to the young Octa, and said to him, "I can't be wrong, I'll find you again!" The boy wanted to say something more, but Alberta said, "Go and heal your wounds first, and then stay away from me again!" With that, Alberta showed a sharp, soul-shaking look.
The teenager did not dare to continue his entanglement with Alberta. At this point, Alberta turned and left. Because there are some Imperials around him again, Alberta is worried that these Imperials are watching, and if he says something to young Octa, the surrounding Imperials will cause trouble.
Alberta looked at the bustling streets of the Empire around him, and he walked out of the train station, and as he walked out of the train station, he took a closer look at the Empire's steam trains...... He really wanted to know how these steam trains of the Empire were made. It was the power of steam represented by these imperial trains that conquered the port of Epalai, the free state of the Capetian merchants, and the Duchy of Casdilipa...... But it will not conquer the Epacleas. Because a race does not give in easily.
Alberta thought of this, and by this time he had already come to the street. The crowd around is dotted with stars. Some people are speeding through the streets, and some people are riding rickshaws and horse-drawn carriages, passing through quickly...... Some of the Imperial people pointed at the Epalai, as if the Epalai were the ones who should be enslaved in their eyes......
Alberta's heart shuddered, and he turned to the office of Eldvedsy Howard, the famous trader in the port of Epalai.
