Chapter 143: Morn
Since being converted into a laboratory, the Dawn Inn has become one of the most mysterious places in the entire city of Nice.
With the completion of the internal laboratory, the exterior of the building was also renovated.
Puyok, who usually seems to be mild-mannered, showed his vigorous and resolute side during this period.
All the buildings within 50 meters of the building were bought out and demolished, bulldozed, and then paved with evergreen lawns.
There was no fence outside the lawn, not even a low hedge, but a wooden sign was inserted in each of the four directions, which read: "Top secret forbidden place, do not disturb." ", the payment is naturally the Medici family.
From then on, the inside and outside of the lawn became two completely different worlds, and even the most curious person dared to stand outside the lawn and look in the direction of the buildingβand even then, they were often chased away by heavily armed knights.
And in the hotel, the laboratory area on the fifth floor has become a forbidden place within a forbidden place.
Since the completion of the lab, with the exception of Donner and Rickle, only Moen, Irina, and Puyok themselves have been authorized to enter the area.
Although Donner repeatedly reminded Pujock of the building's safety measures before the laboratory was built, even he couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw this scene.
All these measures are to guard against hidden dangers, but he has an illusion, as if this whole building is a prison built for only one prisoner.
It wasn't until he tried to get out of the building several times, but he didn't meet any obstacles, that he was reassured.
After more than ten days of work, because "Master Kevin" is surprisingly approachable, Moen is not as reserved as he was at the beginning, and he will take the initiative to chat with Donner during lunch together.
"Did Master Kevin also study at Persson College?"
"yes, strictly calculated. I haven't finished my semester yet, and I don't know if I can get a refund for my tuition. β
"Persson College tuition is non-refundable. Moen looked serious, clearly not understanding Donner's joke.
Rick grinned and kicked Donner under the table, who gave him a blank look and asked, "You studied there too, right?"
"Hmm. I have taken classes with Master Saloman and Master Milan, but I am not talented enough. β
"I think you're talented," Donner said from his heart, Moen's manipulation and comprehension skills were better than the rest of Shaloman's class, "How long have you been working in the Medici Chamber of Commerce?"
"I'm from the Medici family...... Oh, don't get me wrong, I mean, I grew up in the Medici family. It was my family who trained me to be a pharmacist. Moen replied.
"Are you...... Orphans?" asked Rick curiously.
"No, no, I'm not an orphan...... My parents were poor people who farmed for the aristocratic lord, and they couldn't afford to support me, so they sent me to a nursery. β
The half-elf girl frowned and asked hesitantly, "Then you...... Hate them?"
"Hate them, why hate them?" said Moen, puzzled.
"They gave birth to you, but they didn't want you......" Reicor seemed to be particularly struggling with the question, and Donner knew that she must have thought of her father.
"Miss Mary. I have two older sisters and a younger brother. They all starved to death, and if my parents hadn't sent me to a nursery, I would have had the same result. So, I don't hate them. Moen spoke of such a tragic thing without much sadness on his face, as if he was talking about something that had happened to someone else. Commonplace.
"Is the income of the poor so small, and they can't even feed their own children?" asked Donner.
"Master Kevin, the situation is such that the average poor couple can raise their children to the age of being able to do farm work, and then, if they are lucky, they can have another one. But my parents ...... They didn't want to send my grandmother to church. β
"What do you mean?" asked Rickle.
"Master. Neither you nor Miss Mary are Caesians, and most of the paupers in Caios are sent to church when they reach the age of fifty. β
"What are you sending it for?" Ricke, still puzzled.
"Because they have lost their ability to work, do you want the church to feed them?" Donner was a little more knowledgeable than Ricke.
"The church doesn't have that much food. Moen smiled rarely, a little bitterly, "The priest will let the old man return to the arms of the god of light under the holy light." β
Donner and Rickau were silent, the food at the table in front of them was so abundant, even if it was just the three of them for lunch.
"Are your parents okay now?" asked Donner suddenly.
"Well, they're fine, after my grandmother died, they gave birth to another girl and fed them," Moen took a bite of bread and chewed it carefully before swallowing it, then looked up and added, "I'm not going to send them to church." β
"Why is this happening? I've never heard anything like this in Doron. Ruiko wondered.
"Because of the insatiable dwarves. Moen replied without thinking.
"But I have not seen a single dwarf here, on the contrary, dwarves and gnomes are often seen in Doron. β
"Don't you know, Miss Mary, that a large part of the food we grow is taken away by the dwarves, so that the poor do not have enough to eat. Moen explained.
"Didn't the dwarves buy food with magic crystals?" asked Rikko.
"I don't know, anyway, these magic crystals don't fall into the hands of the poor. β
Donner didn't have Rickle's doubts, he knew the crux of the matter.
Compared to the Huls continent, there are not more dwarves, but there are many more churches, which can only show that the magic continent has a stricter control over the core of Middle-earth, and the exploitation is more serious.
In western Middle-earth, where the dwarves were reached, the poor were far better. This regional difference is likely to be a compromise or tacit understanding reached by the two forces after the war 3,000 years ago.
"Why don't the poor couple send away all the children who can't support them?" he asked.
"Master, the nurseries of the major families and chambers of commerce only accept the children they can see. If they don't refuse, they can't afford it. β
"Did Irina also grow up in the Chamber of Commerce?" asked Rikko again. After listening to Moen's words, her impression of the Medici family changed slightly.
"Not really. Moen replied.
"She's not a pauper's child?"
"She's a pauper's child, but ......"
"But what?"
"Miss Mary, if you want to know, ask Irina herself......" Moen looked embarrassed.
"Alright, let's gossip, let's get to work!" Donner interrupted their conversation, "Mary, you pack up this food, keep it fresh with water magic, and eat it at night." β
Moen looked up at Donner, his eyes visibly grateful. (To be continued.) )
