Chapter 33: The First King of Arden (Ask for Recommendation)
The ancient capital of Hilun is a coastal city founded by the Ardenians 800 years ago.
This is where the Arden people landed when they crossed the ocean to find the New World, and to the Ardenians of ancient times, this ancient capital was no different from the dove of peace that brought olive branches.
"It's a pity that the Iron Eagle King rebelled back then, and this place was also looted. β
"So compared to the ancient capital in the past, it is really much dilapidated now. β
The old uncle told Bai Luo about the disaster of that year, he had never seen it with his own eyes, but many years ago, the place where the Arden people lived, still retains a large number of classical documents.
Uncle has read these classics, so he knows how brilliant and great the former kingdom of Arden was.
'Without relying on the power of miracles, with our mortal hands, we can also stand in heaven and earth!'
"The ancestors of Arden, they are amazing. β
Bai Luo said of the first king of Arden: "Not everyone has such courage. β
It's a pity that in this world, miracles are the most important thing, and they choose to swim against the current, and in the end they can only be eliminated.
But they have at least shown us the disadvantages of not using miraculous powers. β
It's foolish for you to punch and kick while everyone around you is using firearms.
The spirit is good, but the surroundings are full of robbers.
You have to at least survive before you think about how to carry out your thoughts, right?
Bai Luo never denied the ideas of the previous kings, but how to say that sentenceββββ My lord, times have changed.
"Get in the way of Lao Tzu!
Ahead, a richly dressed fat man whipped a group of refugees, and Bai Luo frowned slightly.
Refugees are flocking here, and it seems that there is no place where the floods have occurred, leaving a large number of people homeless.
The Iron Eagle Kingdom has no intention of relieving, and these people do not dare to rebel.
Therefore, the best thing for them to face in the future is to become a slave of someone's family, and if they are unlucky, they can only wait for death in the stinky ditch.
"How ugly. β
The senior sister rode a horse and followed Bai Luo, a little behind, she said: "Obviously, Tieying also has so many miracles, why don't you bring a better life to this country." β
The miracle is incredible, and the senior sister has already felt it.
If Lilith's power can be better developed and used, the entire Iron Eagle Kingdom will be qualitatively changed and sublimated.
Fortunately, although the senior sister hated it, she didn't regret it.
Her temperament was too cold, and the only warmth was given to Bai Luo and the Ardenians.
The life and death of outsiders, the senior sister has always been indifferent.
"That's why I look down on the Iron Eagle King. β
Uncle and sister, both riding ordinary horses, the same as Knowles and Zyra, said: "The middle miracle can create a miracle country, but the Iron Eagle King does not want to forge ahead, more than two hundred years, his country is still like this." β
There are countless refugees, most of whom are hungry and cold, while a few hold the wealth and power of the country.
They are in collusion with those in power and monopolize the country, almost all of its resources.
"Why is this happening?"
Bai Luo asked the uncle: "Those miracle masters, don't they care?"
"It's not that it doesn't matter, it's that it doesn't need to. β
Senior Sister told Bai Luo: "Compared to ordinary people, the Miracle Lord is like a god and a mortal, they have not power, but power. β
Strength is fundamental, and those powerful businessmen are, to put it bluntly, just dogs they raise.
Miracle Lords can replace them at any time.
And in order not to be replaced, they must show their value and let the adults above see that they can bring them luxury to the extreme.
If the Miracle Lord wants food, they have to contribute, and if they want beautiful women, they have to look for it everywhere.
"The huge pressure also made these people ugly," the senior sister said, "and they took out their tyranny on the weak, and finally created such a country." β
The above bullies the below, and the strong bully the weak.
You can only blame yourself for being killed.
There is no law, no morality, everything is like a beast in the age of savagery, only killing, and 'cannibalism'.
"I've been to many countries, but in so many places, only Iron Eagle is in this depression. β
The old man shook his head and sighed, he said: "The main thing is the geographical location of the Iron Eagle, the mountains, the eternal night, these powerful kingdoms have become its barrier with the Far North Empire and the Holy Empire. β
"There is no threat from foreign enemies, so naturally we do not want to forge ahead. β
Bai Luo was also aware of this geographical situation, and he was not very clear about the struggle for power at sea, but the mainland, especially the eastern third (the eastern third of the Miracle Continent), knew it extraordinarily.
"What do you guys do?"
The crowd chatted softly, and soon it was their turn to enter the city.
"We are businessmen of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, the Tuya family. β
Bai Luo took out a merchant certificate, and together with it, there was a bag containing coins: "Because business is difficult here, I plan to go to my relatives in the Kingdom of Mountains, please be accommodating." β
Bringing so many people in at once, the miracle lords don't care, but Hades is easy to mess with, and the little ghosts are difficult.
This layer by layer, there is oil and water in every place to fish, who is not changing the way to make trouble for others, and wants more benefits.
"Crackle!"
The whip made a terrible sound in the air, followed by the painful wails of a group of refugees.
"No money, no money to enter any city, can Szluon be a shitty thing like you to get in?!"
Looking at the side, the refugees could not afford to pay the entrance fee to the city, and the soldiers abused them at will, while the others watched this scene indifferently and were indifferent.
"Let's get in!"
The soldier opened the bag and saw that there were several large silver coins (thousands) inside, and immediately let them go.
You know, the entrance fee here is only 1 big copper coin.
With such a generous shot, who cares what Bai Luo does.
At the same time, Bai Luo bribed him so much, which also hinted that they should not reveal the whereabouts of themselves and others.
It's nothing, after all, there are few enemies and rivals.
"Let's go. β
After Bai Luo finished speaking, he set up his horse first, and the people and the convoy behind followed immediately.
Entering the city, nothing happened, just as planned.
The ancient capital of Siluen, to be honest, made Bai Luo a little disappointed.
The dilapidated houses in the lower town, the sour cracks in the pavement are full of stains that have been deposited for many years, and the passers-by who walk are full of vegetables and do not see a trace of spirit.
Of course, those who cover their noses, run on horses, or drive carriages, they are naturally different.
Those who have the ability to live well, and after passing through here quickly, the inner city and the upper city are where they live.
Compared to the hell at the entrance, there is heaven.
"Heaven is the only thing to do. β
"Next, go straight to the gang. β
Bai Luo did not plan to spend the night in Xiluon, and the longer he stayed, the greater the variables: "It is better to go to sea before this evening." β
"AB plans to use together. β
The old man said this, and he said to Bai Luo: "I know the signs of poisonous snakes, and I know which ones are their ships, and I will take people to the port first, and Shirley will know where I am." β
"Hmm. β
Bai Luo divided the team into two, took his senior sister and went to the Viper Gang.
The old uncle took Knowles, Zyra, and Inya to the port first, ready to go to sea.
"Stay safe. β
"There's Lilith and Shirley, and Senior Sister. Bai Luo smiled: "Our highest combat power is all here. β
"Go early and come back early. β
"Rest assured. β
Bai Luo glanced at Senior Sister, she immediately turned the horse's head, and then led the way in front.
"This way!"
Gangs, that is, local gangsters and hooligans.
They are entrenched in various cities, and some can even cross towns to establish a large regional organization.
The rich befriend the lords, and the poor bully the weak.
The Vipers are one such gang that rarely interacts with the powerful, instead exploiting the equally poor and poor in order to grow bigger and stronger.
"Senior sister has also done business with the Vipers before?"
"Hmm. β
Isefia nodded and said, "I've killed them for them." β
"For money?"
"No," said the senior sister, "it just so happened that the man was investigating Arden's traces, and I killed him by the way." β
Bai Luo said: She really deserves to be a senior sister.
"Am I going to negotiate, or are you coming?"
"You don't know what Uncle means," Bai Luo said, "I'll come." β
"You don't negotiate. β
"If you want it, you won't!"
The two rode through several alleys, and soon they came to an area with camps, the slums of the ancient capital.
