The town of Tubat is a very calm and peaceful town, it is built at the front of the small plain of Tubat, between two mountains, the left side of the mountain is gently undulating and the mountain is full of grass, and the right side of the mountain is very steep and has many cliffs. Passing through the town leads to the flooding of the small plain of Tubat, and a short walk further on, you can see the majestic volcano of Tubat.

In the impoverished kingdom of Geneiz, this region is relatively rich in the country. Relying on the thriving biological resources of the plains in exchange for the volcano and lava of Tubat, several towns here can live a relatively prosperous life.

According to people in the town, the town of Tubat was originally built under the Tubat volcano, but the residents moved here because a volcanic eruption destroyed the town two years ago.

"It's a quiet town, not a lot of people and not noisy. Alice dragged the slippers provided by the hotel and leaned against the wooden fence outside the bedroom on the second floor, admiring the charm and character of the town.

"Hey, you got up so early, didn't you say you wanted to sleep in yesterday?" Hulingerton, from the other room, came to the balcony of his room, brushing his teeth with a glass of water and a toothbrush in his hand, and spoke to Alice inarticulately.

Alice ignored him, she seemed to hate this low-character 'temporary travel companion' all along.

Hurrington said, "Hey, don't be angry. It was my fault to peek at you taking a shower yesterday, I always have this bad problem, and I can't help but think when I see a beautiful girl...... Speaking of which, you are the most beautiful princess I have ever seen. ”

Alice said, "Hmph, have you seen many princesses?"

"Finally spoke to me, you haven't spoken to me since you stayed in the hotel yesterday. Hurrington rinsed his mouth and smiled: "Do you know, like your master, I also started to travel around Shijie when I was very young. But I don't go as many places as he does, and I rarely go to dangerous places. I also went to Cosirua four years ago, and I met a princess in Cosirua, who was not as beautiful as you, and had a lot of freckles on her face. ”

"Ah, you mean Princess Sarah?"

"You know her?"

"Of course I do. Alice said: "She is five years older than me, she has been to our Demon Moon Empire twice, I am good friends with her, and you are not allowed to speak ill of her." ”

Hurrington laughed, "I didn't speak ill of her, but she is certainly not as beautiful as you." ”

Alice snorted. But even though she still looked angry, everyone could see the joyful smile on her face. Any woman likes to be complimented, especially beautiful women, including girls and princesses.

He smiled. Hurington said, "Then you will forgive me." ”

"Who forgave you. Alice grimaced again.

Helrington said: "How can we say that we are now companions, and when we go out, which companion does not have some problems? Even companions, we should be more tolerant of each other, otherwise how can we trust each other when we encounter danger and fight side by side?"

Alice hesitated for a moment: "Okay, even if what you say makes sense, I'll forgive you this time." ”

Hurrington cracked his lips and smiled: "After washing, it's time to go down and eat something." ”

There are no big hotels in the town, and the three of them live in a family-style hotel, which is very warm and comfortable, and has a very homely taste.

The place to eat is a large living room on the first floor, and for breakfast is a cake baked by the innkeeper himself, a secret miso soup and an apple.

Probably because of the small number of tourists, in addition to the three of Bingzhixie in the hotel, there is only one fur merchant who travels alone.

The owner of the inn was a kind old woman, her wife fell ill and died last year, and after her son married his wife, she moved to another country, and the old woman was unwilling to leave the land where she was born and raised, and relied on the meager income from opening a hotel to make ends meet, and stayed.

Bing Zhiye quickly finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth and said, "I'll go to the stable to get our hexagonal reindeer, you guys have eaten and taken their luggage, and then they are ready to leave." ”

"Yes, master. Alice replied happily, and took a piece of hot cake from the plate.

"You seem to be in a good mood?"

Alice took a big bite of cake and smiled, "Of course you have to be happy for a new day." ”

"Yes. ”

Alice saw that the old lady of the hotel was making a sweater in front of the door: "Grandma, I have a question that I have been wanting to ask you. ”

"What's the problem?"

Alice said: "Isn't the country of Guines rich in gold? It is said that it has the third largest gold mine in the North Continent on the mainland. But I saw that the people in the town didn't seem to be very rich, and I walked all the way and saw that the people in several villages were living in poverty. ”

Before the old lady could speak, the furrier sitting at the other table smiled: "Hmph, gold? It is only the king's private wealth, and has nothing to do with us ordinary people." ”

"How can a king use so much gold?" said Alice.

The furrier sneered with resentment: "In your eyes, gold is wealth, but in our eyes gold is not what brings a good life to our poor country, but rather disasters and nightmares." Since the discovery of gold in our country, we ordinary people have not had a good life. ”

Hurrington joked, "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"Why not!" said the furrier, "I see that you are a foreigner, let me tell you, now almost all the people of the country are looking forward to another country to attack our country and save us." ”

Seeing the fur merchant's angry expression, Alice was surprised: "How can this be?"

But the furrier stopped talking, and sat there in a huff, and did not eat.

The old lady of the inn sighed: "Here's the thing. About fifty years ago, amazing gold veins were discovered in our country. At that time, the whole country was very happy when gold was discovered, thinking that there would be a good life now, and the old king at that time also had the intention of improving the lives of the people and did a lot of things. ”,

But he was very old at the time, and he died within a few years. The furrier said, "His son, the previous king, has changed completely. He only cares about his own enjoyment, repairs the palace, buys valuable treasures on Shijie for his favorite concubines, and does not care about the lives of ordinary people. But it was all right, but the bad thing was that after his death, his son, the current king, was even more greedy and lascivious than he was, and not only gathered all the gold mines for his own pleasure, but also got the prisoners of the whole country to mine for gold. ”

"It's normal for prisoners to serve their sentences as miners, and I know a lot of countries do it. Alice said.

"Yes, the old kings did the same before. The fur merchant said: "But this is not the case now, the king does not govern the country, those ministers and magistrates do evil, exploit the people, and arrest you at every turn in various names to punish crimes, and now we have not lived a good life." ”

The old grandmother's expression also became sad and indignant: "Little girl, there is a story, you will know what is going on when you listen to it." ”

Alice was intrigued when she heard the story.

The grandmother put down the sweater in her hand: "The thing is that a child was accidentally bitten by the official's vicious dog and broke his leg, and the child's father took the child to the door to theorize and ask for medical expenses." Not only did the official not lose money, but he also let the dog bite the child to death. ”

"Ahh

"It's not over yet. The grandmother continued: "When the child's father saw his son's tragic death, he killed the official's dog in a fit of rage, and the officer ordered the child's father to be arrested and sentenced to death for murder." ”

The furrier said: "I've heard about this too, it seems to have happened last year. ”

Alice said, "Just because you killed a dog, you were convicted of murder and put to death?"

"This ...... It can't be true, can it?" Hurrington couldn't believe it.

The old woman said: "This story happened in our town, and the official was the mayor of our town, and the father of the executed child lived in a hut next to the church. ”

Both Herrington and Alice opened their mouths wide, and the incident sounded simply appalling.

"I've always heard that Guinitz's regime was dark, but I didn't expect it to be so dark," Sherington said. ”

"It's so damning. Alice said angrily, "Doesn't anyone care about this kind of thing?"

"Who's in charge, who's going to be in charge?"

Alice thought for a moment and said, "Holy Garden, Weishenme Holy Garden won't come out to stop this kind of thing and sanction this country?"

The fur merchant sneered: "Just a few years ago, our country was rated as the most socially stable country and the country with the lowest crime rate in the northern part of the main continent. Will the Holy Garden sanction such a country?" he added: "The people of our country are now looking forward to the liberation of our neighbors every day, and we are willing to die even if the country is destroyed. ”

Alice was silent.
