Chapter 401: Returning Home for the sake of Hometown
Looking at Talia's cooperative shaking of his head with a confused expression, the uncle said in a beautiful voice:
"Food! It's all food!
! ”
"That's a mountain of grain! We've never seen so much food in our lives! ”
Even after such a long time, the uncle's face obviously still remembers the scene at that time.
"How is it possible, how can Noxus give us food for nothing?" Talia couldn't help but ask.
In her opinion, this is not at all in line with the Noxians.
"Hey, of course. There is no food for free? The uncle laughed.
"The grain?" Talia asked.
"It's all for us. Everyone can get a share for 2 months, saying that it is two months, how can we eat so much, enough to eat for half a year. The uncle said with a smile on his face.
"Just give it?"
Talia's eyes widened, unlike the Noxus she had heard of during her travels in Ionia.
"We said it was given, but we actually borrowed it." The uncle said, "The god Sivir said that we should work to repay the food, and those people brought not only food, but also many half-finished handicrafts. ”
"The god Sivir told us to assemble those crafts, and... No, my bracelet is also assembled from what they gave. ”
The uncle flashed the bracelet in his hand and continued:
"It's just that this thing is called an identity bracelet by the god Sivir, and everyone who owes food must take it with him. He would count the work we did and calculate how much food we had repaid. ”
"It's amazing, can you know it now?" Talia curious.
"Of course!"
The uncle nodded and pressed on a bulge on the bracelet.
Suddenly, a streamer flashed from the bracelet, and a red number of '-10' was printed on the golden bracelet.
"It's amazing." Thalia exclaimed.
Even she was amazed by the magic item.
It's not that it can display numbers, but that this kind of thing can be manipulated by an ordinary person with no magical powers.
"Hey, it's magical! The god of Sivir also said that this thing not only shows the balance, but also records our information, but this can only be checked in the government affairs hall. Uncle said proudly.
Looking at Talia's strange appearance, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
It's like, when someone else has never seen something and he himself is everyday, others look at their feelings in surprise.
This kind of feeling, if you have to put it aside, how can you have a chance to experience it in his turn.
No one who has such a good thing wants to talk to him.
"Can this thing be used all the time? Not... Just don't you need to charge or something? Talia couldn't help but ask, her eyes fixed on the bracelet.
How can a person without magic be able to use magic items all the time.
She always felt that something was wrong with this thing, and maybe she had to use some life force or energy to drive it.
In her eyes, there is nothing good about Noxus.
"Charged? What is that? ”
The uncle looked confused, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked uncertainly:
"The god Sivir has said that this thing needs to be exposed to the sun for an hour every other month to keep it in use. But you know here, who cares about that. ”
The most important thing in Shurima is the sun, as long as you come out and shake a few laps during the day, your skin can be a few degrees darker.
"Solar charge?"
Talia had never heard of such a thing, and her face was skeptical.
"Hey, wait until you're done with the food, and you'll get one too. But remember to work harder, otherwise you won't be able to pay it off in two months, but you will be expelled. Uncle reminded.
"Huh?" Talia couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, how much work do you have to do?" ”
"Not much." The uncle waved his hand, "You also saw it just now, we owe 10 now, and we originally owed 30, I have been working for 20 days, and I can pay it off in just one month." ”
"Then if you pay it off, won't you have to work?" Talia curious.
"Hey, how can you be lazy when you're young, you have to learn to be grateful." Uncle glared at Talia.
"Don't say that the more you eat, the less you eat, the more work you do, will be recorded, and you can exchange for more things when the time comes. It is said that if you do enough work, you can change everything. ”
The uncle leaned into Talia's ear and whispered:
"I have a friend who is an earth mage who can manipulate rocks."
"Earth Mage!? Manipulate rocks? Talia's eyes widened, and her voice raised.
When this sentence was spoken, although the people not far away next to him didn't hear it clearly, they still subconsciously looked over here.
The uncle pulled Latalia and whispered with a dissatisfied face:
"It's just an earth mage, as for it? Although we are quite envious. ”
"Ahem... No, no, it's just that it can manipulate rocks. Talia said embarrassedly.
"Let me tell you, these mages are really the lucky ones who rely on heaven to eat." The uncle's face was full of envy, "We work hard for one point a day, and he casually does dozens or hundreds a day, which is really incomparable." ”
"Dozens or hundreds?" Talia exclaimed, her eyes twinkling.
"No," the uncle's voice was full of sourness, "That guy used to be a down-and-out guy, saying that he was manipulating rocks, and he just lifted a rock or something, and I haven't been able to fight yet." ”
"Alas, just because of this talent, I don't know what he's doing now, but the gap between life is huge." The uncle shook his head and sighed, "We live in a small one-story bungalow, and he lives not only with a three-story height, but also with a yard. ”
"Not to mention, the last time I looked for him, do you know what he was doing, that guy was actually eating meat and drinking! Why don't we have such good talent? The uncle's tone was full of helplessness.
However, this helplessness can also be heard by Talia, the uncle is very satisfied with his current life, but he sees that others have a better life, and his heart yearns for it.
Eating meat and drinking wine is not a great deal in other places, but it is a very high pleasure for the people of Shurima who are in the lower classes.
On weekdays, it's a good day for them to have some leftovers or something to eat.
Talia chatted with the uncle a few more words, and when he saw that his team was about to go away, he said goodbye to the uncle and ran into the distance.
Now she really wants to see this Shurima Empire, and see what kind of person the Shivir who is praised by everyone is.
She came back because she saw in Ionia the Ionians who defended and loved their homeland.
She came back to learn from that group of people and find a way for her hometown to prosper.
If Shurima and Sivir can do this, she will do her best to help them, even if it is against the evil and brutal Noxus.
Teacher, you must want to do the same...
