"Brother, I'm back, I'm with you, the two of us are good, you tell me, I'll help you." Agnes didn't know why Eren made her parents so angry, but whatever it was, just like Eren unconditionally supported her to accompany her to Lanceville when the beast tide was so dangerous, Agnes also unconditionally supported Alan.

Alan pursed his lips and said to Agnes, "Take out the staff." ”

He pointed to the snow-covered world in front of him and said, "Do you see those branches covered with snow?" Inside the snow, it's full of people. Save them with me. ”

Slaves did not have their own houses, and when it snowed, they either hid in holes they dug themselves or in trees.

The earth in winter was difficult to dig, and the slaves had no good tools, so they could only use stones or branches, and often with a lot of effort, they could not dig much hole.

And when the snow thickens, you may freeze in the ground and never wake up again.

More slaves would choose to go to the trees, and like birds, they would build a nest for themselves out of dead branches and grass.

But the mortality rate is still frighteningly high.

Most of the houses in the slums were crushed by snow, and Alan brought people to the rescue, and even asked for the help of the army from the king and queen.

But the life and death of slaves were uncertain.

Alan hoped that his father would order the nobles to come to the rescue, but he was the one who was scolded.

Alan knew why he was being scolded, but he wouldn't back down.

It's true that slaves are private property, and since they are property, shouldn't those lords have the responsibility to protect [property]?!

Allen's insistence caused him to be severely scolded, and the king even cut off to help him.

But even so, Alan didn't give in, he paid for the rescue himself!

But when he said he was himself, he really had only himself.

The lord's power in the realm is not much smaller than that of the king, and the nobles have the right to kill the "invader" if they run rampant into someone else's territory like Alan.

Eren is a prince, and the nobles will not do anything to him, but not necessarily others.

Whether it was a "friend", "follower", "relative" from the past, or a bounty hunter hired from the Adventurers' Guild at the expense of money, he was all abandoned.

Only ten knights who swore eternal allegiance to him acted with him.

They may not have much sympathy for the slaves, but they owe allegiance to Allen, and therefore Allen's orders are everything.

But what can eleven people do?

Alan was so tired that he didn't have time to grieve the cruel reality, and these days, as long as he closed his eyes, there were countless corpses frozen to death.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......

He didn't know who to apologize to or why, he just ...... Feel sad, feel sad.

This world is so ugly that it makes him sick.

It turns out that he lives in such an ugly world?!

Alan felt powerless to watch those people die, and even more so because he couldn't change.

He doesn't have the power to change everything, but he discovers the ugliest side of this world, lucky? Misfortune?

He didn't know, he knew, he couldn't stop.

At the second he complained about the heavens, countless people died.

Agnes took out her staff, her eyes resolute: "Brother, I'm with you." ”

She doesn't understand the responsibilities of princesses yet, but she grew up watching Alan's back.

This time, she will also look at her brother's back.

Chapter 108

Amy woke up before dawn, and their house was in the far corner, but there was nothing to complain about, compared to the poor people whose houses were crushed by the snow, they were already very happy existences.

She carefully moved along the wall in the direction of the window, inevitably bumping into people sleeping by the wall along the way.

Amy apologized quietly all the way, but her movements did not mean to stop.

Her brother and sister have gone to participate in the disaster relief work, this is a rescue operation organized by Prince Allen, nominally voluntary, but as long as they go to participate in the rescue, they can get a subsidy of 10 copper coins.

The weather is colder at night, but rescue is a big event where every second counts, and it will continue at night, 15 copper coins a night.

Amy also wants to go to the rescue team at night, although it is colder, but it can be 5 copper coins more!

But she's not old enough, so she won't accept it at all.

Her parents were too old to go, so only her brother and sister went to the rescue team at night.

The first thing Amy does when she wakes up every morning is leaning against the window and looking out.

Seeing if her brother and sister are back, even if it is dark in the morning and night in winter, Amy still can't let go of any possibility that she can be sure that her brother and sister are safe as soon as possible.

The temperature is already low during the day and will only get colder at night.

Amy's dexterity allows her to stay in the workplace as a good employee and cut the fabric of her panties.

The offcuts are cut smaller, and some of the smaller ones are reused, for example, to make headflowers.

The small unusable scraps can be bought for a large bag of 1 copper coin, and then they are ruthless enough to buy a piece of the cheapest burlap, and this winter they even have a quilt-like cotton coat!

However, the cotton used as scrap fabric could not withstand the heavy snow night of minus 50 degrees.

Not only did it snow all the time, but there was also a whirring wind.

Before the snowstorm came, a total of 11 buildings were built, which could accommodate a lot of people, but if you want to accommodate the civilians of the entire royal capital, you are just a fool!

However, the sudden arrival of the snow disaster interrupted the progress of the project, and the seven buildings under construction had to be left first.

After all, not everyone has cotton clothes, and many people still wear clothes made of sagebrush, not to mention the construction under the blizzard, and they can't even go out.

You're going to freeze to death.

Amy's family has a lot of laborers who can work, but they are only willing to make two sets of clothes for the eldest brother and eldest sister who go to participate in the rescue work at night.

Leftovers are cheap, but they are available in limited quantities.

It's very hard to grab.

Amy's family is in a house that does not leak wind or snow, although there is no quilt, but they can also use hay to top it, after all, their previous house is very dilapidated, it snows heavily outside, and it snows lightly inside, even so, they can only use hay to carry it.

Although the house I live in now is very crowded because there are many people coming in, it doesn't snow in the house, and even because there are people everywhere, the house is still warm.

As long as the hay is spread thickly, you can have a sweet dream of laughing out loud at night because of the "warmth".

Amy is not satisfied.

Piecework is not available every day, and sometimes she can't pick it up, so she will go to the rescue team to help, and it's hard not to find out where she used to be.

Their house was originally dilapidated, and it was the first batch of houses to collapse.

Because the family was qualified to live in the prince's "palace" early, they moved all the valuable things to the "palace" very early, so there was no loss of goods or people.

However, her family's house still crushed people.

It's homeless wanderers.

The corpse of winter is not destructible, but the skin is blue from the cold, and Amy recognizes it at a glance.

This group of wanderers is full of familiar faces.

In the beginning, they, like Amy, worked on Prince Allen's construction site, but they had bad habits and would steal.

When they were discovered, they were kicked out.

They were wanderers, they didn't have a house of their own, and after they were driven away, they looked at an empty house.

Like Amy, there are many people who move their families into the "palace" because they have obtained the right to live in the "palace".

Naturally, the houses in the slums are much more vacant.

They moved in as a group of wanderers, and then the snowstorm came.

The house was crushed.

It may happen at night, a group of people have become stiff due to the cold, all senses have become very dull, maybe someone has been restless and wakes up to find something unusual, but their reaction is slower than the time it takes for the house to collapse, and they are buried halfway through the escape.

No one could have imagined that their lives would end here.

Amy couldn't tell how she felt when she saw their bodies.

Someone took advantage of their absence to seize her house, and it stands to reason that she should be angry and want to pounce on them and give them a few fists.

But looking at their corpses, Amy felt nothing but sadness.

If it weren't for Prince Allen, the corpses that were now being moved out should be their family.

Amy wasn't strong enough to punch and kick a pile of corpses, only to increase the time it took to go to the rescue team.

Even if there is no subsidy for participating in the rescue for a short time, she is willing to spend an extra few hours a day to join the rescue team.

"It's so fragrant......"

Amy was thinking about it when an incomparably sweet and mesmerizing smell wafted in from afar.

The slightest wisp of taste is not obvious, but in the people who do not have enough to eat every day, the sensitivity to food is very strong.

Amy didn't care about the cold, she opened the window as soon as she opened it, and in an instant the wind and snowflakes poured in, and the cold air was straight to her skin, and Amy was frozen to a spirit.

"Who is it? I'm sick! ”

"It's such a cold weather, why did you open the window!"

"It's cold! Close the windows! ”

In a 100-square-meter room, there are at least 300 people sleeping, so dense, if there is no ventilation, there will be many people who will be suffocated by lack of oxygen at night.

But the vent is too small, and it is in the direction of the wind, and the smell is very limited, unlike Amy's open window.

The scolding crowd yelled fiercely, but after a few seconds, the mouth involuntarily began to secrete saliva.

"It's so fragrant......"

"Sweet, I smell sweetness!"

"Mom, I'm so hungry, woo woo woo......"
