Chapter 619: Escape from the Slums
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, but ......," said the Cat-People Patriarch, "why don't you let them go to Harvest City?" ”
"Harvest City?" Shen Lin smiled, "Just look at other people's live broadcasts yourself, there are all in the system, the current appearance of Harvest City, I suggest you don't go." ”
The patriarch of the Cat People looked worried, if even Harvest City was not very good, then how good could other places be?
Shen Lin didn't care about his suspicions, just told him how to operate the system and find the live broadcast room.
In the live broadcast room, the native Helena is preparing her luggage, and she has decided to move out of the slum to Kisind City.
It's no different from going back home, the devil knows when those demons will come, the nobles won't care about these outcasts outside the city, as long as they don't make enough money, they will never want to enter Harvest City.
Of course, it's not entirely out of chance.
"Everyone here knows that if we are willing to assassinate the old king, then we can enter Harvest City and become the duke's guests. But think about it, if we agree, will the old duke keep us? Would he be willing to shelter the Assassin for the sake of a brother-killer? Helena whispered, "Listen, I can't enter Harvest City right now, and I can't go out with my children to spread the gospel of the Goddess, so I can only go to Kisind City and make a final effort for me and my children." ”
In the picture, a little girl of four or five years old looks at her mother blankly.
She whispered, "Mom, are we going somewhere else?" ”
"My little darling, do you want to stay here?" Helena's originally resolute face instantly softened, "Let's go to the city of Kissinde, where there is the blessing of the goddess. ”
"But didn't Eros say she would bless us?" The little girl looked at her mother uneasily, "Those uncles and aunts before all said that they would believe in Eros and follow Eros, they have entered Harvest City!" Isn't it good for us to believe in her? ”
The tenderness on Helena's face suddenly turned to worry, and she shook her head, "Silly boy, they didn't even take the salute, poor Marquis Donk, who gave all his money to the Eros believers, and in the end they called him a heretic. ”
Thinking of the tragedy of that day, Helena firmly believed in her beliefs even more.
"Listen, my dear darling, you can only believe in the goddess Gesia, because then we will not be the same as the Marquis of Donk." She hugged the child, "We have to get out of here, because of the entry requirements of Harvest City, and now there are millions of displaced people gathered here, this is not the life we should live, you know!" ”
"We can't afford to pay." The youngest daughter nodded, "If you leave me, mother......"
"Stop talking nonsense, oh my God, they're here again." Helena hurriedly pulled her luggage and bypassed the missionaries.
"Dozens of teachings are spread in the slums every day, and the former nobles who live here are good, and the god of love has defined other gods and religions as cults, even the goddess of the earth, who is now becoming more and more excessive."
"But anyone who doesn't believe in Eros will be dragged to execution as a heretic, and if you have other use value, you may also be dragged to mining, in short, I really can't agree with the old duke and Eros." Helena whispered into the live broadcast room, "You can see, there are more than 30,000 people here watching my live broadcast, believe me, you must not come to Harvest City, no matter where you started believing in the goddess Gesia, oh my God." ”
Helena hurriedly turned the child's face to the side, "Don't look, my darling, that's not a good thing, let's go." ”
"Mom, they're coming after you."
"So we're going to get out of here."
The capture of the heretics spread from inside Harvest City to outside Harvest City.
The nobles hated these people who lived in the slums outside the city, whether they were once nobles or not, in short, they couldn't afford to pay to enter the harvest city, so they were on the evil side.
Poverty, chaos, disease, pestilence, in short, as long as they are poor, they are the enemies of their harvest city, and evil will always appear in these extremely vicious people, so there will always be people who change the law to make these people become dead corpses who can never do evil.
In this slum made up of former nobles and middle classes, there were few arrests during this time, and what Helena didn't expect was that now these people would start to hunt down heretics.
"Great, there's no one behind us anymore, they're busy catching more people and won't waste time on us." Helena breathed a sigh of relief, she realized that her shoes had been lost, but fortunately, the child was still there.
The patriarch of the cat people who saw this scene trembled with anger.
"How can they do that?" Only then did he know that he needed to pay money to enter Harvest City.
"Even Harvest City can't guarantee the lives of so many people, millions of people, how many people were in the former Ranke, barely a million people......"
In Helena's shot, a large number of poor people are begging on the streets, and there are many robbers, some of whom reluctantly let her go when they see Helena with their children, even so, in the process of escaping from the slums, Helena is still extorted a lot of money.
She had no other way out but to take her children with her.
The sprawling slums are a source of concern for those watching the live stream, and it's hard to imagine that a million people are suffering here like never before.
Helena's words as she walked resonated with many people.
"Half a year ago, I came here with the father of the child, who was a tall and handsome man, and I used to be proud to marry a nobleman.
Before that, we loved each other so much that I sometimes wonder if he hadn't done that and had been with me and the kids......"
Helena smiled bitterly, "But he took more than half of his money in order to enter the city." ”
"Mom, aren't we waiting for Dad to come out and pick us up? He said he would come back to pick us up. ”
"It's not a way for us to wait outside, let's go to Kisinde City first, I've already asked someone to bring him news." Helena was reluctant to tell the child the truth.
If he would come back to pick it up, it wouldn't be delayed for so long, until the cost of going into the city was rising, to the point that no one could afford it.
The child nodded in satisfaction, and then lay on Helena's shoulder.
"We used to live very happily, we had servants at home, we didn't have any sorrow in our lives, we lived a decent life, and we lived a luxurious life." Helena said, pulling at the clothes on her body, the neckline where she used to wear a brooch, now there were only two tiny holes left, and it looked so dazzling.
