Chapter 241: The Nature of Union

It is true that Ladd said that he was very familiar with the city of Jefilolol, but to say that he knew everything about the city would be an exaggeration. Yesterday he said that to Age, of course, to please Edge, so that he could have a chance to get some food.

This is also a matter of no choice, although he also goes to work to make money, but so many children, he can't support himself with the money from his part-time job alone. So in addition to working part-time, he has to find more ways to get food, even leftovers from hotels and taverns.

Ladd is most familiar with the civilian quarters to the west of the city. He grew up in the West End, and he knew every street and alley clearly. As for the East District, most of them are rich, and the poor go there to wander around, and it will be embarrassing to meet those who find fault. He doesn't usually go there if he doesn't have to.

When he followed Ladd to familiarize himself with the situation in Yefilolol, Aegie didn't say much, but silently remembered it.

After walking around, he began to wonder. I wonder how the city of Yefilol is like this? I feel that the situation in the city does not have the slightest atmosphere of "righteousness". Severe wealth disparity, discrimination, and differential treatment...... Could it be that the city under the leadership of the combined forces of the rebel army is the same as the original city where the nobility reigned?

But doesn't it mean that the leader of the united forces of the rebels is a declining aristocrat? As a leader and with the experience of civilian life, shouldn't we improve the serious gap between the rich and the poor, personality discrimination, and so on?

Or is it ...... The leader of this coalition of rebels, like those who are inferior, thinks that he has power and status, and begins to degenerate, covet pleasure, and do not care about the life and death of people?

If this is the case, what qualifies them to call themselves "rebels"?

Age's impression of the combined forces of the Rebels is getting worse and worse, and he has a lot of thoughts in his mind.

At noon, Aggie proposed to go to eat and rest first, and then go to the East End in the afternoon.

Ladd was stunned for a moment when he heard Age's words, and he showed a little embarrassment, and said, "Brother Age, I think it's better to go to other places today, and it's not too late to go to the East End tomorrow." ”

Aegie saw that Rad was embarrassed and was puzzled. Is it a special day today? It's just a trip to the East End, so it's necessary to choose another time?

But after thinking about it, Edge guessed that he hadn't heard anything about the Rebel Alliance's forces in the Western District. It is clear, then, that the leading organ of the combined forces of the rebels is located in the Eastern District. In this case, how could he not go to the Eastern District to find out the situation of the combined forces of the rebel army?

"No, Ladd, I'm going to the East End today. Seeing that you are reluctant, is there any difficulty?" said Aegie to Ladd resolutely.

Ladd hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Ageie, I won't tell you, it's ...... today."

"Brother Ladd, Brother Ladd, no, no, no! Sister Carlo, she ...... Sister Carol She ...... By...... I've been captured!"

Ladd was about to tell Edge why he shouldn't go to the East End today, but the eldest of the children that Ladd was taking care of suddenly came running and anxiously stopped Ladd. Judging by his panicked expression, something bad must have happened.

Hearing the kid call out Carol's name, Ladd panicked and immediately asked, "What happened to Carlo?!"

"Yes...... Yes......" The child was still a little panting, and after relieving his breath, he quickly said: "It's that bastard of old Gaitu, he excused that Sister Carol stole the fruit in the store yesterday and asked Sister Carol to pay for it, and Sister Carol had no money to pay him, so he grabbed Sister Carol and dedicated it to Master Balpo!"

"Present...... Now, old Gatu has grabbed Sister Carol and got into the carriage and headed for Lord Balpo's mansion!"

"What?!"

"Damn it!"

Ladd was startled at hearing the child's words, then furious, clenched his fists and tried to hit someone.

"Brother Aggie, I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I can't accompany you anymore, I have something urgent to deal with. ”

"I'll take my leave. ”

After a few brief words to Edge, Ladd immediately ran in the direction of the East End. His expression was angry, even a little hideous.

Age's brow furrowed as he watched him leave. It's clear that Ladd is in big trouble this time.

"Big brother, you're the one who followed Brother Ladd last night, right?" Age didn't expect that the kid who was talking to Ladd just now looked at him as he watched Ladd leave.

He was a little stunned, could it be that this kid saw him last night, and he didn't notice him?

"What's your name?" said Edge, who didn't deny following Ladd last night.

"Bida, my name is Bida. Bida looked at Aegie and was not afraid of life, and it seemed that he was not surprised by how much he saw the living.

Bida looked slender and wore straw sandals with his pants rolled up. His legs appear elongated, but strong. It seems to be caused by frequent running. Aegie looked at him and thought about it, since he was messing with Ladd, he should have been doing errands a lot.

Bida happened to be here, and Edge asked him about the East Side, and the mention he had just mentioned about Lord Balpo.

Bida knew that Edge wasn't a bad guy from the time he saw Edge last night, but of course it was his gut feeling that he wouldn't know much about Edge. Now he didn't bother with it, he thought that Aggie could help Ladd, and he hoped that Aggie could help Ladd, so he told everything Aggie asked.

After Bida's explanation, Aegie learned that this Lord Balpo was the leader of the Rebels' combined forces. As for what happened on the East End today, it was actually the reason why Ladd was reluctant to take Edge to the East End just now. For today was the day of Balbo's "baptism," and he had decreed that no one of the lowly would be allowed to go there.

The reason for this provision is because of the sanctity of the "baptism" ritual. Born into a declining aristocracy, after becoming the leader of the Rebel Alliance, for some reason he became desperate to restore his status as a nobleman. And he thinks that because he was once reduced to a commoner, if he wants to become a nobleman again, he must wash away the lowly air that has been stained on his body.

This is known as a "baptism" ritual.

The baptism ceremony was originally held by Ballpo in order to "wash" away the 'lowly atmosphere' on his body, and naturally the civilians of the West Side would not be approached.

As for why old Gaitu dared to catch Carol at this time and sacrifice it to Balpo, it was because of the peculiarity of the commoner woman for the baptismal ceremony.

Ballpo thinks that using the body of a commoner woman in the West Side can get rid of the lowly aura in him more quickly. By having sex with these women, return the lowly spirit on your body to these civilian women. Of course, these civilian women must be virgins. And Carol is just such a woman.

Old Gaeto offered Carol to Ballpo, and he was bound to get a good reward. It was this benefit that made it difficult for Carlo.

How could Ladd allow such a thing to happen, he and Carol are childhood sweethearts, and the two have an excellent relationship and love each other. If it weren't for the two of them taking care of those children, they would have been married.

If Rad watched Carol being sacrificed to Balpo, it would be better for him to die. Now he rushes to the East End, vowing to rescue Carlo.

When Edge learned about this, she didn't know how to describe her feelings. This made him greatly negate his intention to negotiate with the combined forces of the rebels, but he didn't expect Ballpo to be such a person!

Baptismal ceremonies? Retreat from the lowly spirit of the body and become an aristocracy again? Discriminate and oppress the commoners?

Shameful!

Edge resented Balpo's actions. This is not an act that can be explained by faith, it is superstition, ignorance, and sin!

"Brother Ageie, can you go and help Brother Rad? I know you can do magic, but Rad can't!" Bida pleaded as he looked up at Edgebalpo after telling Edgebalpo what had happened.

Aegie smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, Bida, I'll go to the East End to help Rad right now." ”

"Oh, by the way, Bida, it's a gold coin, you can use it to buy something for the children. Aegie handed Bida a gold coin, only one gold coin, and it was dangerous for a child to take too much money.

Bida was stunned for a moment, and then took the gold coin and wiped his eyes, probably moved, and said: "Thank you, Brother Aiji, when I make money, I will definitely pay you back!"

"Good. Aegie looked at Bida and smiled.

After Bida left, Aegie rushed straight to the East End. Although he is not familiar with the East End, the baptism ceremony held in Balpo today will certainly not be deserted. Go to whichever mansion is the most lively, so you can't go wrong.

Moving from the West Side to the East Side, and seeing the situation in the West and East Sides at the same time, Aegie was amazed. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really didn't want to believe it. In general, the East Side is really a world compared to the West Side.

Seeing this, Aiji finally knew the true nature of the combined forces of the rebels. Before that, he thought how benevolent the united forces of the righteous army were, but it turned out to be the case. He really hoped that Bailey would also come over to see what the so-called coalition of rebels was like. If Bailey had known, I'm afraid she wouldn't have advocated for not going to war with the rebels.

This kind of power organization that cannot bring people a better life can be eliminated directly. In any case, in the end, the new royal power will go to the road of kings. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, whoever can fight to the end is the king.

Of course, Aegie also knew that he knew very little about the combined forces of the Rebels. There should have been many people who developed the combined forces of the rebel army in the first place, and Ballpo would not be the only one. Of all the people, it is impossible for everyone to be like Balbo. There must still be righteous people who are the same on the outside!

Aegie thinks that if he wants to know more about the Rebels' combined forces, he needs to go deeper. He decided that after helping Ladd, he would find an opportunity to go deep into the coalition forces of the rebels and thoroughly investigate the matter.

If the combined forces of the rebels are really hypocrites like Balbo, there is no need to talk nonsense, and they will directly return to the new royal forces and declare war.
