Chapter 14: The Current Situation in Qatar

"What, you actually made a deal with the elves, didn't you say that the elves are savage!" Cassandra said in surprise. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Garenne had to lament the power of the government, using propaganda to mold the elves into a savage cannibal race. In fact, at the beginning, the government only propagated the barbaric backwardness of the elves, and as for cannibalism, it was guessed by some civilians themselves, but I didn't expect it to become the genuine version in the hearts of the people with false rumors, anyway, no one has ever seen elves in their lives, right?

He reluctantly said: "In fact, this is all misguided by the government, and they need to create a strong and brutal foreign enemy to make some of their actions acceptable to the people." In fact, a lot of the taxes that everyone pays every month are used to spend time and drink, but in fact, the taxes in this place are not so high at all. I remember one time when I saw money shipped directly from somewhere else, and since it was a military town, the inhabitants had moved in later. Therefore, the government will take into account the consumption of military personnel and will take some money from other places.

"Then why don't you go to the Knight of Hosa, he is a good nobleman, and will definitely help us. Cassandra asked

"You also know the situation in Qatar, there are wars everywhere, the nobles are all corrupt, there is money shipped I heard Hubert say that the money has been greedy by the nobles for a long time, and so many money boxes shipped over are fooling people.

However, in fact, there is still a lot of money that has been shipped over, so it stands to reason that the tax here should be lower, but I heard from the people from the gold mine in the south of us that the tax outside is 150 copper per person, which is about three-quarters of ours, or it is paid once every four months, and we are three months. These are all dominated by the Knight of Jossa, who has created the image of a perfect knight on the outside, but is actually the biggest man behind the scenes. He's the one you can run away, you can take some people in private, but you must not spread it everywhere. ”

"No! I'm not leaving, I've never seen elves and dragons in my life. I always listened to my father tell me the stories that my ancestors had handed down to me, and I had to see the dragon with my own eyes and not imagine it in my heart. My leg is also broken, so go and leave me here. Derrick sat down on the ground and said.

"If you don't go, I won't leave Derrick, I won't leave you. Cassandra also made a statement.

Mina said helplessly, "You better go, it's not safe here." Who knows if it will be a dragon or not. Let's find a way to save Garenne first. ”

Garene shook his head: "Don't waste your efforts, Hosa didn't have any intention of letting me go when he tied me up. He used the rope used to hang people, and the saw cut it all the time, and tied it in a dead knot, and unless I died and divided my body into several pieces, I couldn't get it open at all, and now my hands and feet were tied unconscious. ”

Mina tried to untie the rope, and sure enough, as Garenne said, the rope was strong and untied.

She said in frustration, "What to do, I can't solve it at all." ”

Garenne persuaded her, "Mina, go quickly, don't stay here any longer, please." ”

Mina angrily said to Garenne, "How can I go by myself, I'm a priest here." There are so many civilians here, and if even the Light has abandoned them, then who else can save them. Even if there is one person who needs help, I will not leave Prague, and if the elves are really what you say, they will definitely not attack me as a priest. ”

Garenne lowered his head and remained silent, knowing that he might not be able to persuade anyone to leave, and silence spread among several people.

Tyrrell stood in a house on the side of the square, whose owner had been magically put to sleep by Wefreux. After Garenne left, Tyrell and Weveret infiltrated Prague, and the guards on the walls did not react at all under Wifrey's magic. He watched as Gareen was captured, and he followed the knights of Hosa to learn some of Hosa's personality.

Then he disguised himself as a normal human and toured Prague with Wifre.

The current situation in Prague is chilling, families like Derrick's are okay, and in some dark corners, there are people who have lost everything. In Prague, being sick means that if you don't get better, you're dead. After all, there is only one priest in the church here, and the priest has to live, and Mina has done her best to support the old priest, and she still has some people living in the church at night. But how big Prague is, there are more than 6,000 permanent soldiers alone, and 60,000 soldiers for one soldier according to ten people. Although in reality there are not so many, it is not far off.

After all, there may not be wars in the territory close to the elves, it is much better than the rest of the empire, and there was a famine in the early days of the city, and a large number of refugees poured in here because of the food here. In fact, all this food was exchanged with the elves. Later, the talks with the elves about the gold mine behind Prague collapsed, and to be precise, the humans unilaterally tore up the agreement, and Prague was soon transformed into a military city. Because the reserves of gold ore are beyond human imagination, it seems that the iron ore is the companion.

Soon, Prague was home to many soldiers, and the elves' food supply was cut off. The living conditions of the people here have deteriorated in recent years, with food prices remaining high and many dying of starvation for months. To add insult to injury, Hossa raised taxes again, and secretly united with several merchants to monopolize grain and make a fortune.

During this time, Tyrrell also captured one of Hubert's men, who said that Prague was in a bad situation. But it's much better than the cities that are at war. The angry Tyrell wanted to kill people, and here he saw something that only happened in Africa on Earth, some of them were hungry with atrophied limbs, looked like they had big bellies, and their hands and feet were very scary.

He also found a dead man on a street corner, who had obviously been abused, and who did it was self-evident, and Wilfley said that the man had died of starvation and internal injuries. With Weveret disposing of the man's body, Tyrrell continued on his way, and as he reached the area where the rich and nobles lived, he heard the sounds of some nobles having fun and saw some scenes of swaggering in the tavern. I suddenly wondered, why didn't anyone resist such a city or such a country?

He said to Wafrey: "Wafrey, is what the man said just now true, Qatar is still at war with other countries. In other words, the situation here is better than that of other places where there is a war. Answer me, Wifre!"
