Chapter 357: The Gathering Place
Brother Gongzi is a person who came to the imperial capital from the border to look for opportunities. www.biquge.info Unlike the backward borders and prosperous imperial capitals of other countries, the empire is in a completely opposite situation. Although the people of the aristocratic class are glamorous on the surface, in fact, the lives of the commoners living here are also stretched thin and not rich.
The border crossing does not refer to the territory connected to the state, but refers to the territory connected to the kingdom. The so-called "Tiangao Emperor Yuan" has long been an empire that has long been secretly torn apart with the kingdom in the dark, and this situation is indeed manifested in the actual comprehensive national strength. is not considered the current emperor, although the previous emperors did not have great skills, but their temper is not far behind others.
On the surface, it is strictly forbidden to trade with the kingdom, but it is beneficial to both sides, and the matter is concerned about the interests of the people on the border between the two countries, and it is impossible for the imperial government to strictly prohibit it with a strict order. Even the soldiers who carried out the orders were bribed, and the trade exchanges in the border cities or towns of the empire were so prosperous that the economy of the border towns was completely superior to that of the people in the imperial capital.
Although on the surface, it is just the result of statistics on the data. On the surface, the scenery of the capital of God is still more prosperous, and all kinds of things are dazzling, and it is impossible to compare with the barren frontier of the land. When the founding emperor of the empire established the capital, he took this into account, and the place he chose to build the capital happened to be the most abundant place in the empire. Crops can be grown almost all over the continent of Gedia, and as an address for the greatest possible transportation, it is almost impossible not to prosper.
But what does it matter? To judge the outstanding people of a place, we do not simply judge by the prosperity of the scenery seen on the surface, even if a city is prosperous, when its wealth completely falls into the hands of only a small number of people, and the vast majority of people only have less than one percent of the wealth, and try their best to survive every day. Even if you have a "rich" urban building, you can still call it "poor".
The imperial capital is just such a place. There are majestic knights riding iron horses on their hips, and there are also nobles who are just going out for a meal, and the streets are covered with silk and satin, although it is an extremely luxurious and rich scene, but it does not reflect the true face of this imperial capital. But it is the traders who get up early and stay late every day for their own food and clothing, and strive to shout their goods on the side of the street, which can also reflect the sadness of the city to the greatest extent.
Childe Brother ...... I haven't been to the imperial capital before, but simple information is what I can know. At first, he maintained a skeptical attitude, but after seeing the "hypocritical prosperity" of the imperial capital, he was able to understand that even the imperial capital, which is the capital of a country, is still not as good as an ordinary border city.
So...... I can't help but naturally give birth to a superior feeling. Brother Gongzi was born in a border city and was the son of a small boss who traded with the kingdom. In plain language, it is the so-called "coal boss", "local tyrant" and the like. Just a sense of superiority in terms of money has made him proud enough to be unpopular.
However...... At this point, he was almost shocking his eyeballs to the point of dropping. Even the son of a "local tyrant boss...... He had never seen such a huge amount of wealth.
It is necessary to know the truth that "there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky", although it is not suitable for use in this place. Compared to the great nobles who have a lot of power in the palace...... This little bit of wealth that Brother Gongzi is obsessed with...... It's a drop in the bucket. Even the leaders of the [Demons] who had a little bit of a relationship with these nobles still possessed wealth beyond the reach of ordinary commoners like him.
Even if it is split into several points, it is still a number that Childe has never seen before. If you follow the course of ordinary work and life, it will take decades to accumulate such a level of wealth, but this low-hanging fruit is clearly placed in front of you, and no one is allowed to question it.
This is the most difficult temptation...... The thought of taking over this thing will be in vain...... The thought of such a thing made his heart throb violently.
I can't refuse, how can I refuse? Brother Gongzi is not an ordinary person, but an elite person who claims to be the "son of destiny". Simple temptation didn't do anything for him at all, but at least he still had self-control. But it is...... Money is the bait, the simplest and most crudely solid bait...... After its number has reached a certain level...... It's also not easy to refuse.
I didn't expect it...... Would have pulled such a bag out of the arms of this lewd fellow. For a moment, he looked at Vasis on the spot, and even wanted to kill him on the spot, and then take the money and fly away...... However...... The other party is stronger than himself.
obviously looks like that, but the combat quality revealed by his simple actions is indeed impeccable. In every move, there is not the slightest flaw that he is allowed to pursue, and it must be deliberately done for him to see...... I don't know why.,It seems that I want to shock myself first.。
Although the misunderstanding has long been solved, what the other party values is not his body, but really values his own ability. And the willingness to cooperate is something he doesn't understand, obviously he is so strong, why do he have to go to such great lengths to find other classmates?
No, not companions...... It's recruiting men...... Subconsciously, it seems that there are two different villains struggling violently, and his dignity as an elite does not allow him to be a "subordinate" of others, and there is no way to resist the temptation in front of him. Instinctively want to accept it, accept this financial wealth that can only be obtained by relying on oneself and needing to struggle for decades.
After a violent inner struggle, Brother Gongzi finally chose the latter...... There are many people who have done the same thing as him, but there are also a considerable number of people who, after thinking about it, finally rejected the temptation of the heavy bag of gold coins, and chose to turn around and leave without looking back.
Those who can still maintain their dignity and reserve can already be called real warriors. However, it doesn't matter if he is a warrior or not, although Vasis is saying "voluntary behavior" on the surface, but putting such a large amount of wealth on the table says a lot about things.
Some people still don't buy it. Vasis said that it was okay...... There was also a faint flash of sharp light under his eyes...... Different ways do not conspire with each other...... It's just that the mood of such a moment determines that they will become an endless situation in the future......
Brother Gongzi seemed to feel that he had collapsed, and he was weak. In one day, his dignity and self-confidence were hit to a double extent, so he was a little sluggish. Imperial Capital ...... After all, I underestimated this city......
Before he came, he even had a sense of superiority, as a border citizen, he had several times the wealth of the locals here, and he was a bit of a high-minded and low-handed attitude. However, regardless of the supernumerous number controlled by the real rich, even a random person walking by on the street...... It's a lot better than him.
The blue-eyed boy who had just walked past the side of the street was also ...... This extremely lewd guy is also ...... They are much stronger than themselves. The imperial capital is not as simple as it seems......
This kind of mood is like a god who was still calling for wind and rain yesterday, but today it has degenerated to the extent that everyone is in the limelight. The huge gap caused in a short period of time made Brother Gongzi have to feel frustrated for comparison.
"So...... What is the cold food going to do next? Boss ......" He said such a sentence extremely reluctantly, but at least formally admitted his "servility". If he had any ambitions from the last moment, they have since vanished. All he could think about at the moment was to complete the ugly boss's commission early, and then simply take the money and fly away.
He said the words that most of the people present cared about, and this was not just Brother Gongzi alone, but a large group with a plural number. At this moment, he was also stroking the money bag in his arms like a treasure, while looking at Vasis suspiciously.
The man smiled slightly and said, "First of all...... Let's go meet someone first. ”
Vasis led them to a vast square. The location is an extremely remote place in the imperial capital, and it is obvious that other places are crowded and crowded, but this place is unexpectedly very empty.
This is obviously the southern urban area...... It's just that I understood in an instant, and Brother Gongzi's head turned quite fast. Fear...... This large square in the downtown area was completely bought by the other party.
The area of the large square is hundreds of square meters, and even this is only in the center of the place, and in order not to let people see inside, the perimeter is also decorated with many things that hide people's eyes. The place is at least a few thousand square meters in size...... This couldn't help but make him marvel at the financial resources of the owner here.
It's like a quiet place in the middle of the city, like a secret base for children, and if you don't have the people involved, you will never know what is hidden inside.
Lanloth controlled all of the Near-Demon Clan's finances in one aspect, and the centuries-old organization had gathered more wealth than he had imagined, although it was more concentrated in the dark basements of the leaders. On the other hand, he also received aid from Allman, and was forcefully "donated" from the hands of those big nobles, and the amount obtained was also quite large.
I'm afraid that this combination of demon kings is the richest guy in the Gadia continent. Before this, Brother Gongzi didn't dare to imagine what it was like to own thousands of square meters of real estate in the imperial capital...... I'm afraid that the master's financial resources have reached an extremely terrifying point.
Rich and wealthy, it is the right description.
Everything is unthinkable, it is someone else's thing after all. Taking advantage of this time, many people are looking at this place...... Although it is a land of every inch of land, the decoration is extremely rudimentary. Just a few large pillars and bricks were used to decorate it, and such a gathering place was formed.
I don't know when...... Vasis had quietly retreated from the place. There were some other people coming one after another, and Brother Gongzi couldn't help but glance at them, thinking that maybe they were also people who had the same experience as him......
Gather in this place...... It's like waiting for someone to arrive...... Is it the big boss behind the scenes?
Vasis retreated into a room, a large place with a room of his own. As his temporary stronghold, or rather the gathering place of the eyeline of the entire Lanloth force.
Sooner or later, it will be exposed......
It's just that Vasis doesn't think of such things now. Think about what might happen next...... Inevitably, goosebumps appeared.
Although he had been affected by the Wise Man's Foolishness, for the man Vasis, there was no doubt about the level of loyalty to Lanros.
However...... The things that were rooted in his heart when he first saw them had turned into deep nightmares that recurred in his dreams. Because memories do not disappear because of the illusions imposed on them, the memories of the sights they see do not disappear for no reason in any case.
There is no other reason, it is because the impact on myself was too great at the beginning.
At that time...... At the time when the kingdom's mission failed...... When I came back with a nervous mood and a tired body...... The sight I saw almost made me pee my pants.
All the people in the room knelt on the ground and worshipped Ranros like gods.
Supernatural sights......
I'm afraid it's going to happen again...... (To be continued.) )
