Meswall, the capital of the Fairmont Kingdom, was once the capital of the Holy Empire of Fields.

After thousands of years of precipitation, the city is full of history, whether it is the towering buildings, gorgeous palaces, clean streets, or the courteous residents of Shanshan have subverted Xia Dong's impression of this world.

Of course, there are shadows in the richest places, just as there are slums in the Federation on Earth, and there are two rivers in the corners of the filthy and foul-smelling districts.

Entering through the city gate, walking through the bustling trading area, the palatial aristocratic district, and the elegant and clean civilian area, when Xia Dong finally stepped into this slum with a foul smell and narrow streets, there was suddenly a strong sense of contrast.

But this kind of thing is helpless, even if there are still many poor people on the earth who are struggling on the poverty line, the development of human beings is destined to appear inequality between the rich and the poor, if the productivity is better like the earth, at least most people at the bottom can have no worries about food and clothing, but with the level of productivity in the world......

Riding on a snow-white tall horse, Xia Dong walked slowly towards the interior of the Lianghe District, at first he didn't know what Lu Dao called this place, but as soon as he came in, he immediately understood.

For sewage and excrement from the royal palace and the aristocratic quarters were drained from here through two ditches, and even more so, they passed right in front of the poor people's doors.

Unlike the good law and order in other areas, in just a few hundred meters away, he has already encountered two street brawls, one is a few guys with meaty faces beating a teenager in the corner, and the other is two guys in clothes who scuffle on the ground, and even feces stuck to the rolling.

Witnessing the terrible environment here, Xia Dong's heart was very heavy, did Rui Qiu's family live in this kind of place?

Thinking of this, his desire to make up for something intensified, and he lowered his head to look at the guy leading the way in front of him, a middle-aged man with a little cunning in his appearance, this was the guide he hired in the tavern in the city gate district, it was said that he knew the two rivers district and even the city as a whole very well, and waited every day to serve merchants or civilians who came from afar.

In this crowded Mesvol, there are many people who make a living like this.

As if sensing his gaze, the man named Jeffrey turned around and bent down flatteringly, "My lord, Pearl's house is in the alley in front of you, why don't you wait outside, and I'll call them over for you?" After a pause, he added, "The environment over there is not very good. ”

Shaking his head, Xia Dong rejected his proposal, "No. "I didn't suffer anything when I was down, so why don't you mind this little thing.

Gorgeously dressed, he rode a high-headed horse, which was naturally very eye-catching in the two river districts, not only the surrounding poor people retreated far away with panicked expressions, for fear of colliding with this lord, even those guys with fierce expressions were no exception, they knew very well, don't look at Xia Dong is now single, but this kind of lord can slap them to death with a wave of his hand.

In this hierarchical city, any pauper who dared to rebel against the aristocracy would be suppressed with iron blood.

As the stench continued to worsen, the two finally stopped outside an alley full of filth, looking at the environment inside, which was more disgusting than the earth's public toilets, Xia Dong finally understood what Jafery's mouth meant by not being good.

"Pearl, Pearl, come out quickly, there is a master looking for you." Needless to say, Geoffrey had already shouted loudly at the mouth of the alley, and even he was unwilling to step into this filthy alley, which would stain the only clean clothes he had, and thus deprive him of a source of livelihood, and no master would want to touch a sloppy and foul-smelling fellow, let alone hire him as a guide.

Hearing his call, a weather-covered man came out of a wooden house deep in the alley and limped up to meet him, "Jeffrey? Which master is looking for me? Is it to maintain your boots or to maintain your lawn? Ah, I can do anything. ”

He was covered in old linen clothes, his body looked a little hunched because of the long bending over, and the corners of his eyes and forehead were deeply wrinkled, all of which showed that the other party had been in trouble for many years.

Xia Dong's gaze moved back, and at the wooden door behind Pearl, a yellow-faced and thin-skinned girl timidly stretched out her head, her eyes seemed to flash with some kind of longing, but she was quickly pulled in.

Calming down, he tried his best to make his voice as gentle and amiable, "Sir, may I ask if Rui Qiu and Nolia are your daughters?" ”

In the face of his politeness, Pearl, who bent down and didn't dare to get too close, was very frightened, "Ah, my lord, I, I don't know the way, I don't know anything, they haven't heard from them for a long time." ”

How so? When the identity of the other party was confirmed, this thought flashed in Xia Dong's mind for the first time, although the Dale Sword and Shield Mercenary Group was not big, it was also a little famous, and Sister Nolia was obviously the kind of person who took care of her family very much, how could she not leave enough money.

And he once heard Rui Qiu say that Nolia had saved a lot of money and was going to buy materials for her to arrange the ritual to activate divinity, although they suffered misfortune later, but her family would not be like this, right?

Although the mercenary is a profession that licks blood from the knife edge and exchanges his life for money, it has to be said that this industry has a lot of income, and Xia Dong found a lot of money on everyone's corpses, not to mention Nolia's long-term savings.

Hearing Jeffrey say that Pearl and they live in the worst part of the Two Rivers District, Xia Dong thought it was the wrong person, but he never expected it to be the case, which couldn't help but make him blame himself even more.

Because if he hadn't appeared, Rui Qiu would probably have become an official knight by now, and he would live happily in the aristocratic district with his family!

"My lord, did they have something to do with you in the past, Nolia? I have heard that they have provoked a terrible warlock and have thrown themselves into the arms of the Most High God, so please be merciful. Xia Dong's silence made Pearl even more panicked, now their family has nothing, and it is difficult to maintain enough food every day, and they can't afford to provoke any right and wrong, especially a big man like Xia Dong who doesn't seem to be simple.

Coming back to his senses, Xia Dong explained in a complicated tone, "Uncle, Sister Nolia is my savior, I am here to repay the favor this time, do you have any other family, call out, come with me, I will settle you well, this is not the place you should be." ”

Although he was sincere, how could Pearl believe that the setbacks over the years had made him completely afraid to expect good luck to come, so these words made him involuntarily feel anxious in his heart, he was worried that Xia Dong had any bad intentions, although the two old men didn't care, but the only remaining daughter could never make a mistake again.

"I appreciate your kindness, sir, but we're used to it here."

Turning over and dismounting, Xia Dong strode forward regardless of the dirt on the ground, and held Pearl's arm in the other party's retreat, "Uncle, don't worry, I just want to take care of you." With that, he reached out and took out his money bag and opened it, and dozens of gold coins suddenly glittered in the sun.

Whether it is the nervous and frightened Pearl or the suspicious Jeffrey, when he sees so much money, his heart is beating wildly, and he has to admit that there is no need to deceive them with the other party's net worth, and what is there to deceive them?

Their precious daughter? Just kidding, the **** who is much more beautiful than her at the mask ball in the city is only a Jin Emperor.

Could it be that good luck is coming? Pol watched in disbelief as the big, gorgeously dressed man walked into the filthy alley that even Jeffrey didn't want to step into, and then pulled his wife and daughter out of it.

Looking at this young man who smiled naturally in front of him, without the slightest hint of discrimination, he said, "Okay, uncle, you come with me, and let me take care of you in the future." ”

It wasn't until a few hours later that he was still a little dizzy and couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or not, especially sitting in this palatial living room, where the Supreme Three Gods were above, and this living room alone was already twice the size of their house, no, four times the size of their house.

Reaching out and carefully stroking the sofa under him, the soft touch was so delicate, this kind of thing that only the old man had was said to be worth several golden emperors, as well as the violet tree log table in front of him, and the fragrant Mondale flower tea on it, he had heard his companions talk about it when he was a servant before, and it was said that a cup cost five silver knights.

If this is a dream, please let me wake up later......

Sitting on the balcony, Xia Dong held a transparent wine glass, poured hot wine one by one, and suppressed his guilt with the help of alcohol.

After leaving the Two Rivers District with Pearl and them, he immediately asked Jeffrey to help him find a place to live, and the other party, who was the head of the snake, really had some ability, and soon brought a rich man.

Under the leadership of Locke, who was in charge of the sale and purchase of houses in the aristocratic district, the group briefly looked at a few houses, and Xia Dong finally chose the current one, which is said to be the residence of a former viscount, but it was sacrificed in the invasion of the Calests two years ago, and the descendants of later generations did not inherit the title, so it could not be maintained.

The entire three-story villa with two gardens in front and back was only sold for 800 gold emperors, which can be said to be a very low price, so Xia Dong decided to buy it on the spot, most of the positions in his storage space were used to store gold coins, which was enough to count thousands of pieces, and less than 1,000 gold coins really didn't pay attention to it.

With the power of money, they moved in that day, and at the same time, in order to maintain the operation, Xia Dong also left all the original servants, a gardener, two maids, and a female cook, but the white-haired housekeeper resolutely quit his job, saying that he had taken care of their young master for many years, and he would follow him no matter what.

Of course, this kind of thing can't help but be difficult for Locke, who specializes in this business, this white and chubby guy found a replacement in his forties in less than an hour, and Xia Dong specially rewarded ten gold coins as a tip for this.

His eyes stayed on the girl playing freely in the garden, he had decided to stay here during this time, and strive to help Rui Qiu's sister activate her divinity and become a nobleman, after all, he couldn't guard here forever, and it was better to give people a fish than to give them a fish.
