Chapter 334: The Nobleman Who Died
In the world of Faeron, the strength of a country depends on the strength of the country's protectors, but the prosperity of a country depends on the aristocracy who rules the poor.
After coming to the Maple Leaf Kingdom, seeing that a town with excellent geographical location, resources and environment has fallen to the extent that it is not even as good as a refugee camp, Punk knows that there must be a big problem with the noble class and the strong class in this country.
Sure enough, before the punk could say anything to Ben Rachel to hurry up, something that seemed to be the norm in the town happened in broad daylight.
An ugly-looking but richly dressed young man swaggered down the street with an arrogant look, his gaze swept viciously over the paupers huddled in the corners, as if he were looking at the living, but picking goods from the garbage.
I saw this fierce man patrolling all the way among a group of shivering poor people, and when he saw an old man wrapping a child tightly with tattered linen clothes, the eyes of the man who had been impatient suddenly lit up:
"Hey, old immortals, get up!"
Without warning, the man kicked the old man in the corner of the wall, and then said viciously and loudly:
"Hey, dead old man, it's you, don't you hurry up and pay the poll tax, don't you want to live, ah?"
This ugly man was obviously a noble child who had come to collect taxes, and when he saw his flying and domineering appearance, the poor people around him just shrank in their breath, and no one looked at him even when he heard the old man's cry of pain.
The old man who had been kicked in the ribs almost couldn't catch his breath, but in order to avoid another kick, he had to get up hard, and while holding the tightly wrapped little girl in his arms, he begged for mercy like a noble man:
"My lord, I am a sick old man, and there is only a piece of bark left on my body, I ...... How can I still have a poll tax"!
After saying these words, the old man's hands had already begun to tremble, if nothing else, the fierce noble son would definitely fight angrily, and he would not stop until he was dying.
Speaking of which, in fact, this aristocratic man knows better than anyone that these poor people can no longer squeeze more wealth, and usually he comes to collect taxes more to beat people and have fun.
But today, the aristocratic man was very surprised not to move, and he even showed a strange smile when he looked at the tattered old man.
"Hehe, old man, you are very lucky, the kingdom conscription team came again yesterday, the child in your arms looks a little beautiful, it just so happens that there is a lot of lack of "comfort girl" places in the conscription team, you hand her over, and this month's poll tax will be exempted"!
"Huh......? This is absolutely not possible"!
Hearing the words of the aristocratic man, the thin old man's face changed greatly, and the little girl in his arms trembled with fright.
The old man with a blank face was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, but the aristocratic man ignored the old man's plea, he pushed the old man away rudely, and dragged the little girl who was hiding in the old man's arms.
"Hehe, I can't see that this is still a little beauty, before giving it to those reckless men in the army, this young master has to play with it, hahahaha"!
"No, Nevi, don't take Nevi"!
"Grandpa, grandpa save me, I don't want to be a comfort girl, save me"!
The old man threw himself at the noble man again despite the blood he coughed up from falling to the ground, but how could the old man, who had not eaten for a few days, be the opponent of the young and strong noble man, he was kicked to the ground by the noble man again before he could take a few steps.
For a moment, the whole corner was in chaos, the mournful cry of the little girl, the pleading of the old man, and the smug laughter of the aristocratic man were all in chaos.
Compared with the chaos in the corner, the surrounding civilians were silent and silent, and the dozen or so poor people leaning against the wall outside were silently wrapped in sackcloth, posing as if they didn't know anything.
However, just as the aristocratic man was about to carry the little girl away, a thick palm was silently placed on his shoulder:
"Alas, the world is already so dark, don't do anything to the little light, even if the tax payment is necessary, there is no reason to harm innocent children"!
The sigh was a little low and hoarse, but the terrifying majesty made the noble man almost collapse to the ground.
There is no doubt that the person who is making the move now is none other than Ben Rachel, who finally can't stand it.
Punk guessed right, although this fat old man usually can't match the words "kindness", but when facing children, Ben Rachel is like a different person, and the whole camp will change instantly, even in the face of his own apprentices, he can be discarded casually Once he meets a child, he is immediately like a virgin possessed, and it looks like a subversive person.
Seeing that Ben Rachel was going to be very serious and nosy, and there was no reason for the troublesome punk to stop it, but speaking of which, he also wanted to know what was going on in the country from the mouths of these poor people and this nobleman, and it was a little puzzling that a kingdom with the paladin as the protector of the country was so dark.
The punk, who was a little interested, simply stood at the mouth of the alley and quietly watched Ben Rachel grow in front of the refugees.
The aristocratic man who was scared by Ben Rachel's slap and half dead became angry in the next second, maybe it was the nobleman who inherited the IQ of this man in order to ensure that the inbreeding of "pure blood" was inherited, maybe it was because Ben Rachel's shoddy robe didn't look gorgeous, of course, it was more because this noble man was not a professional, and he didn't know that he was facing this powerful master caster who had already become angry.
In an impulse of annoyance, this guy actually punched Ben Rachel without hesitation:
"Damn untouchables, you ............"
"Whew"!
The second half of the aristocratic man's words didn't have time to say at all, because the moment he had just tensed his muscles, the flames released by Ben Rachel instantly evaporated this ugly aristocratic world.
Well, I have to admit that this idiot is too capable of dying, if his target today is just an ordinary woman, maybe Ben Rachel, who is looking forward to Jonny Zodas's hospitality, will not be nosy at all, but unfortunately, the object of this guy's murder is a little girl, and he even wants to pull the little girl to be a "comfort girl" in front of Ben Rachel! After the very successful enraging Ben Rachel, this aristocratic man who was looking for death actually dared to make a move on a master-level powerhouse, and he died to such an extent, and he really died unjustly at all.
