Heroes of Invincible Hidden Architect

Chapter 539 Tent Village

The golden triangle can be formed, and the farmers who want to go to Avili to ask for a living in the west of Erasia are undoubtedly the source of everything.

These humans want to leave Erathia, and there will be fewer believers and coolies for the church, so the church will "manage" these farmers who enter Aveli in the name of population dispatch.

Those peasants were exhausted, and they could only get 1/3 of the elves' compensation, and 2/3 would be confiscated by the church and provided to all levels of the church for eating, drinking and having fun.

It is impossible for farmers not to pay this money.

Erasia stipulates that only farmers who are married and have children can go to Aveli, and neither children nor wives can be brought there.

And it must be a farm and pasture that cooperates with the church, and the church will allow farmers to work there.

All kinds of interests and rules are woven into an invisible big net, and those farmers who try to escape from Erathia are netted in it.

But even so, these farmers who were lucky enough to leave Erasia still had a much better life than those who stayed in Erasia.

At least, in Aveli, if you work 6-9 hours a day, you can save gold coins every year.

In Erathia, working 12 hours a day makes survival a problem.

Under Aveli's struggle, the church still gave some hope to those farmers.

As long as he advances to the fourth-level agricultural scholar, Avili will use the agricultural scholar's two-year salary to buy out the agricultural scholar and his family from Erasia in an official capacity.

For farmers who know the way of Aveli, this is an excellent way out-as long as they work hard, there is hope, which is much better than Erasia, who is only desperate no matter how hard he tries.

But those who can take formal channels are, after all, a minority.

The church has limited control and cannot control huge borders.

Because of this, some farmers gathered near the border of Aveli risked their lives to smuggle in.

But the success rate of smuggling is too low.

Avili's border and Erasia's border are not closely adjacent, and there is a wild monster area in the middle.

Forced to penetrate the wild monster area, ten deaths and no life.

Only under the leadership of some explorers, business groups, and adventurers, farmers can sneak across.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.Where there is resistance, there is repression.

Those who have the ability to lead farmers through the wild monster area must at least have a strong team led by a hero.

The church and the Erasia border guards are very strict on these teams. Once they are caught, they will be severely punished.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer people dare to accept this kind of business.

However, there will still be a steady stream of farmers flocking from the western border of Erathia to the border of Avili.

Holding on to their last hope, they earn a living by doing some tiring and poorly paid jobs, looking forward to the chance to change their destiny.

These farmers have their own nicknames among the three forces.

Erasia Church and Roland's subordinates called them [Human Mine].

It means that these farmers, like gold mines that can be mined automatically, will squeeze out gold coins by themselves without doing anything.

And, it never ends.

Diya's necromancers call them "living zombies", which means spare corpses that can be killed at will.

Avili called them "traveling birds".

The traveling bird is a bird unique to the elf empire. It is home all over the world and has no fixed place.

After the traveling birds get married, they will show closeness to other birds. The husband and wife live together in the nests of other birds to raise the young traveling birds, and then the whole family will part ways and continue to wander.

Except for the relatively neutral address of Avili to these farmers, the names of Diya and Erasia are full of malice towards them.

These Erathian farmers gathered at the border, the village where they live together, is called contemptuously by the local residents:

【Tent Village】.

At this time, seven luxury carriages, which are completely opposite to the barrenness of the western border of Erasia, are heading to [Tent Village] under the leadership of several guides.

Each of these carriages has four high-spirited war horses in front.

Just looking at their soft fur without a single hair and the strong muscles clearly visible all over their bodies, it can be seen that the price of these war horses is definitely not cheap.

Such a horse, even if it pulls a tattered convertible cart, can pull out a sense of nobility.

However, the carriage they were pulling at this time could make people feel that these war horses were not worthy.

The luxurious carriages, in addition to the various reliefs decorated all over the body, also have many shiny mechanical devices, which means that they are all luxury goods imported from Bracada.

Even in the royal capital Shengtian City, only the top rich and powerful can ride such a carriage.

The size of each carriage is like a small room, which can easily accommodate a dozen people.

Even laymen who don't understand anything, when they see these carriages, they will immediately realize that the people sitting in the carriages must not be offended by them.

On the top of each luxury carriage, there are four flags erected.

The [Holy Angel Banner] representing the Church, the [Blue Flower Banner] representing Longtong Port City, the [Dove] flag representing the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce, and the [Holy Grail Flag] representing Saint Adela.

Even if you don't understand the specific meaning of these four flags, just seeing the exquisite embroidery and expensive fabrics is enough to make people understand that the meaning behind these four flags must be extraordinary.

Meteor and his younger sister Liuli sat alone in the front carriage, and the other carriages behind them were full of professional players from Tianxia Baye Guild.

This is a team of rich merchants, all of whom are capable players.

"Appreciate~~~"

Several coachmen issued an order to stop at the same time, and the fleet of luxurious carriages slowly stopped on the muddy road.

The guide in charge of leading the way, with a flattering smile on his face, asked the leading carriage for instructions:

"Vice President Meteor, we've arrived.

This place is full of cheap refugees, no one cares about anything, it's very chaotic.

Some people are so poor and crazy that they can do anything.

Please wait here with all the adults, I will find a local steward. "

"go."

Meteor said coldly in the tent, and threw a small bag of gold coins out of the tent.

Not many, 4 pieces, distributed to 4 guides, each person only has 1 piece.

But for these guides, this is an unimaginable generosity.

The guides thanked them repeatedly, stepped back and left, and joined the other three companions.

Liuli opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside curiously.

It is said to be a tent village, but in fact there is no village at all.

[Tent Village] This is not a village at all, it is just a piece of mud with a lot of broken tents.

Many tents have leaked roofs, and there are wooden barrels underneath to catch rainwater.

Many undisciplined children are looking at Liuli's carriage curiously. They are male and female, but they all have long hair. It's not that there is a tradition of long hair here, it's just that no one in the entire tent village buys it. It's just scissors.

Liuli looked a little uncomfortable.

The arms of these children are pitifully skinny, about the size of a shooting star's thumb. Whether their clothes are dry or not, there are many irregular holes on them.

Liuli saw that there were no beds in the tents where these children lived, only some dry thatch leaves piled up in a ball, and then surrounded by stones.

In some tents, there are even chickens, ducks and pigs, and animal feces are everywhere.

It can be seen that the owner of the tent lived in the same tent as the livestock.

Before Liuli could observe carefully, the four guides who brought them dragged a skinny old man over.

One of the guides said proudly to the old man:

"You're lucky. These are big shots from the capital. As long as you serve them well, your benefits will be indispensable."

After he finished speaking, he ran to the carriage with small steps, and flatteringly introduced to the carriage:

"Vice President Meteor, this is the local steward.

This old man will take us to understand the situation of each family here in a while.

He has lived here for decades and is more familiar with it than we are.

Don't worry, we will pay you, so you don't need to waste your money. "

Liuli looked at the old man, his eyes dodged, his dirty hands trembled, his face was full of confusion and helplessness.

Liuli was a little angry for some reason, she opened the curtain of the carriage and said:

"Since this is the case, the four of you should not follow here, just let him take us."

"This……"

"Miss, it's very chaotic here, we're not here, I'm afraid those people will bump into you."

"Yes, yes, we are here, they dare not mess around."

"People here have bad hearts and can do anything."

The four guides were in a hurry at the same time, saying some persuasive words in one go, and kept recommending themselves.

But Liuli didn't listen at all, she just looked at the shooting star and shouted:
"elder brother!"

"What my sister said is what she said. Why, are you dissatisfied?"

Meteor glanced at the four guides, and the four of them fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

Meteor protected Liuli and got out of the carriage together, brushing aside the four people and walking in front of the old man.

Meteor said gently to the old man in charge:

"Old man, we are here for investigation, and we want to see the living conditions of the villagers in the tent village, can you take us to have a look?
By the way, introduce us. "

"My lord, of course, this is my fusion."

How could the old man dare to refuse, so he quickly learned a sentence that he didn't know where he heard it, and his speech was not standard, which caused the system to translate it wrong.

Meteor didn't understand until he had to guess.

"My lord, this, this way please."

As soon as the three got rid of the four guides, Liuli couldn't help asking:
"Old man, I see that you have many children here. Don't these children need to go to school?"

The old man looked confused and opened his mouth, as if he was afraid to enter.

Liu Li quickly said: "It's okay, tell the truth, we just want to hear the truth.

We won't blame you no matter what you say. "

The old man sighed and said:
"How is it possible to send children to school?

Those who come here are basically those who have suffered from their hometowns.

But even if we didn't suffer, we couldn't afford to go to school in the village.

Those who go to school are only the children in the city who have this blessing.

These children here usually start working when they are over 5 years old.

Their parents also got up early and walked for 1-2 hours to nearby villages and cities to do some cleaning and coolie work, and barely exchanged for some food when they came back.

We are all refugees, we have no land to grow and no way to support ourselves.

The best ones are those with livestock in their tents.

Usually, someone in the family is selected, so that some money can be sent back to them to buy.

These chickens, ducks, and pigs are raised and sold, which can last for about half a year.

The pig tent you see now belongs to the Chaplins.

Chaplin was lucky and was chosen so that he could leave something for his wife and three children. "

The old man in charge pointed to a tent while talking.

Seeing that she was being pointed at, a thin woman in the tent immediately stood up and greeted the three children in the crowd.

Then she let the children hide in the tent, and quickly put down a tent curtain made of rags, covering the whole room.

The old man in charge was a little embarrassed for a while.

He coughed and said:

"The conditions of Chaplin's house are relatively good, so there will often be some master gunners who pass by on patrol, come to catch a chicken, lay down two eggs and so on.

At the very least, their family was able to survive after being robbed of something.

But other families, not to mention livestock, don't even have any food in their tanks.

If the morsel of the grown-up's hard day's hard work is robbed of the grits, the whole family will starve.

If you get robbed a few times, you will starve to death. "

So, the Chaplin family, were they treated as victims?
Liuli's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything.

Apart from this method, what else can the thin old man in front of him do?

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

Meteor took a deep breath and said: "You misunderstood, we are not here to grab things.

You turn around and look at our carriage, do you think there is anything we can see here? "

The old man in charge was so frightened that his legs went limp and he almost knelt down.

"Snapped!"

He slapped himself loudly and loudly, scaring both Meteor and Liuli.

"My lord, I have a bad mouth and I talk nonsense.

My lord, I have no knowledge, talk nonsense, you must not be as knowledgeable as I am. "

"What are you doing?"

When he did this, Meteor felt a little guilty.

The respect for the old and love for the young engraved in the bones of the Chinese nation made Meteor a little uncomfortable with such a scene.

"You, oh, forget it. Just lead the way.

As I said, no matter what you say, I won't blame you.

Don't be afraid of us, tell the truth.

We want to see the most realistic scene here. "

"Hey, good, good."

The slap was strong and urgent, and there was no reaction at first, but now the dark cheeks of the old man in charge began to turn red and swollen.

He took Meteor and Liuli and wandered around several places in [Tent Village], looking at the stoves made of clay pots with cracks and the walls piled up with garbage.

Finally, the old man in charge brought Liuli and the others to his yard.

Compared with tents, the old man's yard is still more advanced.

At the very least, there are some white stone and earth walls surrounding the city.

Although the height of the earth wall cannot prevent robbers, soldiers, or wild animals, it can prevent the invasion of chickens and ducks.

This makes the old man's yard look extra clean.

In this small courtyard, lived the old man's three sons, two daughters-in-law, and nine grandchildren.

From the conversation, Meteor and the others learned that the youngest son of the old man originally had a daughter-in-law who was also a refugee.

But the youngest daughter-in-law was so good-looking that a priest in a nearby city fell in love with her.

The youngest daughter-in-law had a strong temper and didn't want to hurt the elderly family, so she jumped into the river and drowned herself.

Therefore, the old man's youngest son, who was originally the smartest and most capable, and who also dreamed of becoming an archer, has been doing nothing since then, living like a disabled person, and has no plans to marry another wife.

If it weren't for the fear that the old man would be too sad, he would have gone with his daughter-in-law long ago.

Meteor keenly sensed the taste of the mission, and began to try to get close to the old man's young son.

But the youngest son was dumbfounded, and didn't respond to what Meteor said.

Even when Meteor said he wanted to avenge him, he just shook his head and lay on the ground with blank eyes.

Perhaps, the youngest son of the old man died that day, and what was alive was just a corpse.

Liuli looked at the old man's house and saw a bed made of vines and wood in the tent of the old man's eldest son.

Sitting on it is a ten-year-old girl who is using a bone comb to help another six-year-old girl comb her hair.

At the feet of the big girl, there is also a piece of flowered cloth hanging under the bed, in which lies a sleeping baby with closed eyes.

While helping the little girl comb her hair, the older girl gently kicked the fabric with her feet, causing the fabric to shake from side to side.

It looks like a cradle for babies in reality.

Seeing Liuli approaching that room, the old man seemed very nervous.

He cautiously approached Liuli, and said to Liuli:

"My lord, these three are the daughters of my eldest son.

Both the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law have gone to work in the city. I can't take care of the two children alone, and the eldest granddaughter helps to take care of them.

There is nothing to see inside, my lord, let me take you to see the family of Widow Wang.

It was the worst family in the village. All three husbands died, and she took care of seven children alone, two boys and five girls.

She has no choice but to rely on selling..."

"Huh?" At this moment, the old man's eldest granddaughter and second granddaughter seemed to have heard the movement and turned around.

The second granddaughter was ignorant, but when the eldest granddaughter saw Liuli, she had an expression of yearning and admiration on her face.

She gently moved out of bed, walked up to Liuli, looked at Liuli with shining eyes, lowered her voice and exclaimed:

"Sister, you are so beautiful.

You are the most beautiful person I have ever met. "

Liuli looked at the bright smile on the elder daughter's face, felt the kindness of the elder daughter, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She felt that if the roles were reversed, she would never be able to laugh like the girl in front of her.

For some reason, Liuli suddenly thought of Smit.

Following Smith's example, she leaned down slightly, held the girl's face in her hands, gently stroked the girl's rough cheek with her fingertips, and said softly:

"Thank you, you are beautiful too."

"Hey." The girl covered Liuli's hand with some joy, smiling all over her face.

She turned around, hastily and tiptoely found a flower wreath from a pile of clothes on the ground.

Holding the garland in her hands, she held it high and said softly:

"Sister, give it to you."

Liuli had mixed feelings in her heart for a moment, she covered her mouth and raised her head.

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

It seems that all the suffering has been melted into the sunshine.

……

……

Meteor and Liuli returned to the carriage, and Liuli couldn't help but feel relieved:

"Brother, the people here are too miserable.

Me, I want to help them. "

Meteor shook his head coldly, and flatly refused:

"Sister, it's just a plot designed in the game, don't take it too seriously."

Liuli pursed her lips and said unconvinced:

"But, I think it's too real.

The game of Heroic Soul World, really, what are you doing so realistically.

It made me feel bad.

Seeing them like this makes me want to do something for them. "

Meteor looked at Liuli complicatedly, and after a long time, sighed, and said:

"Have you forgotten what God Seven Pigeons told us before?

Don't be overwhelmed with sympathy, don't give them gold coins and food directly, and don't help them indiscriminately.

People who live in darkness will not feel that there is anything wrong if they have not seen the light.

But sometimes, this kind of kind light makes them unable to adapt to the darkness.

Once they get into the habit of 'asking for', it will not help, but harm.

Most of these NPCs who have been devastated by themselves will fall faster than we imagined.

Moreover, if it was given to them, they would not be able to keep it.

Those gunmen who even snatched chickens would dare to kill people when they saw gold coins.

Don't forget, this is not the territory of Queen Catherine, but the territory of the church and Roland.

The military discipline of the NPC troops here is not as good as that of Queen Catherine.

Besides, there are thousands of tent villages like this in the entire Western Territory, and each has at least 1000 people. If you do any calculation, there are millions of NPCs.

How much does it cost just for food a day?
Let alone you, even if the funds of our entire Tianxia Baye Guild are poured into it, it will not be able to help. "

Liuli leaned on the soft cushion and touched the wreath on her head.

She said sadly:

"I know, I know.

But I still want to help them.

The little girl who gave me the wreath, although a little dark, has regular features and looks really good-looking.

She lives here, in case one day, like that little daughter-in-law, someone falls in love with her again.

Will she be trampled, humiliated, tortured and sold to the slave market like garbage?

Or, will she jump into the cold river in despair like that little daughter-in-law?

When I think of one pure heart after another being treated like this, I feel bad in my heart.

Brother, I'm not as smart as you, and I can't think of a good way. Can you help me think of a way to help them? "

Meteor smiled slightly and said:

"If I knew you had this kind of temperament, don't worry, God Seven Pigeons would have already thought it out for us.

Take a look at what I sent you. "

"Huh? This is?!"

Liuli opened the friend message, her eyes suddenly lit up, shining brightly.

ps: Now the monthly ticket list is No. 4 in the game area. If you can enter the top three, you will be [-] every day, until you fall from the top [-]
