Yin Yang Sword Emperor

Chapter 48 Slums

Chapter 50 Slums
Early the next morning, Linley and Lingyue were about to leave for the 'Ice Moon Empire', went to the first floor to eat something, and asked the clerk about the situation of the two princesses who were captured by the 'Two-headed Red Flame Lion'.

As soon as they inquired, Linley and Lingyue laughed. It turns out that the two princesses have not been found yet. King Garvey was shocked when he heard the news that the two princesses had been captured by the 'two-headed red flame lion', and immediately ordered Send a large number of troops to find the whereabouts of the two princesses.

Garvey had to be anxious, because one of the two princesses captured was his daughter, and the other, Princess Isabella, was a princess of the 'Parthia Empire'.

The 'Parthia Empire' and the 'Xingluo Empire' have always been friendly, and the national power of the 'Parthia Empire' is not inferior to the 'Xingluo Empire' at all. Now the princess of the 'Parthia Empire' is in the 'Star Luo Empire'. If something like this happened in the "Xingluo Empire", Garvey, the king of the "Xingluo Empire", should be responsible.

If Isabella was killed by the 'Two-headed Red Flame Lion', then Garvey would have no way to explain to the king of the 'Parthia Empire'.

So Garvey didn't dare to be negligent as soon as the accident happened, and quickly dispatched troops to search all possible places near the 'Xingluo Empire'.

However, the people of the large army searched for the whole night, but they still couldn't find the whereabouts of the 'two-headed red flame lion', nor the whereabouts of the two princesses.

The impact of this incident is far beyond the royal family, and because hundreds of thousands of people died under the claws of the "two-headed red flame lion" in this incident, the people complained again, and many family members of the deceased even They all secretly cursed Catherine for indirectly killing their relatives.

So it is said that curiosity killed the cat. When nothing happened, these ordinary people regarded the "beast fighting" competition as a performance, but now that people died, and there were still so many lives, who will pay for those dead people? ?

"It deserves it. It would be better if I didn't get it back. It would be better to be eaten by that 'two-headed red flame lion'. People like that will only kill more people if they live!" Not finding it, Lingyue and Linley looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled.

Especially for Linley, he was relieved that something happened to Garvey's daughter.

"Let's go!"

After paying the rent, Linley and Lingyue left the tavern. There were as many pedestrians on the street as usual. All kinds of vendors didn't affect their mood because of what happened in the 'Colosseum' yesterday, and they were still doing business. , People come and go on the street, there is nothing unusual.

Soon, Linley and Lingyue came to the checkpoint for entering and leaving the city. They needed to pay money when entering the city, but they didn't need to pay when leaving the city. Therefore, Linley and Lingyue walked out of the capital of the 'Xingluo Empire' very smoothly.

It's just that maybe because yesterday's "Colosseum" incident affected the lives of ordinary people in the capital, making them more or less lose their sense of security, so there are a lot of people going out of the city today, Linley and Lingyue are almost crowded The flow of people left the capital together.

It's crowded again, the bigger and more developed the place, the easier it is to encounter such a situation, so Linley and Lingyue didn't care about it. However, just as Linley and Lingyue walked out of the checkpoint gate, Lingyue But suddenly he was stunned for a moment, and then touched his waist.

"What's wrong?" Linley asked suspiciously.

"My wallet is gone!" Lingyue said.

"Did you leave it in the tavern and forget to take it?" Linley asked.

"No, I was clearly tied to my body when I left!" Lingyue shook her head and said, "It must have been stolen when I just came out!"

After all, Lingyue looked around, the wallet tied around her waist before leaving the city was clearly still there, why did the wallet disappear right after leaving the city?Obviously someone stole Lingyue's wallet when Lingyue was out of the city.

I didn't expect to run into a thief when I was about to leave. This is indeed a very depressing thing. Linley also helped Lingyue look around, but there are too many people entering and leaving the checkpoint. It is hard to say who stole Lingyue's wallet. Thief.

"Huh?" Just when Linley was about to make Lingyue give up, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a short, rogue figure running about tens of meters away, looking back at him every three steps.

Although the short figure had already run far away, Linley still recognized him at a glance.

"It's the kid from last night!" It turned out to be the kid who was caught by the clerk in the tavern last night. Linley returned the money to him.

Linley took a closer look and saw that the child was indeed holding a wallet in his hand.

"Is the wallet in that kid's hand yours?" Linley pointed to the little boy, and Lingyue immediately raised her eyes to look at it. The pink fabric wallet was very eye-catching, and Lingyue recognized it right away.

"That's my wallet!" After saying that, Lingyue immediately chased after the little boy.

"Stop, give me back my wallet!"

How can I say that Lingyue was also the leader of the 'Black Widow' before, but now that a child has stolen his wallet, it only shows that Lingyue is too careless, and it also shows that the little boy is very skilled at stealing things.

What made Linley speechless was that this little boy seemed to be really addicted to stealing. He was caught by the clerk in the tavern last night and was almost beaten up. It was Linley who kindly helped him and gave him a lot of money. Little money, but the little boy didn't know how to repent, and even stole things to Lingyue.

What would Linley say to such a little boy?
However, in this turbulent era, countless people were displaced, and countless children became orphans in the war. Some were starved to death, and some lived on the streets. Those who survived were begging, sold, or arrested. To be slaves, there is no way out for them.

So there is nothing wrong with a child stealing money or food, and Linley didn't intend to pursue it, so he followed Lingyue.

The little boy found that Lingyue was chasing him, and ran faster. He couldn't tell that he had good feet at such a young age, and he seemed to be very familiar with the road conditions outside the city. He quickly ran into a village outside the capital, stunned. Not being caught up by Lingyue, Lingyue stomped her feet in anger.

There are many dilapidated and dilapidated houses in the village. The little boy walked around in the village, which made Lingyue dizzy.

"Where is the person?" As she walked, Lingyue found that the little boy who had been in front of her had disappeared, apparently she had been abandoned by the little boy.

"That child is very familiar with the environment here. He should still be in this village. Let's look for it separately!" After Linley and Lingyue reached a tacit agreement, they searched for this village that seemed to have been abandoned by the outside world.

There are many villages like this built on the edge of the metropolis on the 'Tianyuan Continent'. Compared with the cities inside the walls, this kind of village or small town without any protective measures is indeed equivalent to being abandoned by the empire, because They are not protected by the army, so when war breaks out, the first to be affected are those who live in such small towns and villages.

It is for this reason that poor people live in this type of small town and village. They have no money, no power, and do not know any rich, powerful and powerful people, so they have no There is no way to live in the city, let alone the capital of the empire, even ordinary cities are not eligible to live in.

After all, the place in the city is so big, it is impossible to accommodate countless people.

Therefore, after countless years of subtle influence, such small towns and villages are regarded as places where people abandoned by the empire live, and because they have been in disrepair for a long time, such small towns and villages are very dilapidated. In stark contrast, whether it is the visual gap or the real living environment, they are far inferior to ordinary cities. A more appropriate adjective to describe these places is 'slums'.

'Slums' are places where the weak live and gather, and none of the dignitaries are willing to come to such a place, because in their eyes, such a place is the same as the gang of robbers living in the 'Road to Heaven', It is a place dedicated to hiding dirt.

So there are beggars everywhere and thieves everywhere.

Linley and Lingyue were looking for the whereabouts of the child who stole Lingyue's wallet in this 'slum'.

The child was dressed in rags, and he probably lived here. Linley searched for a long time, but he couldn't find the whereabouts of the child. Instead, he appeared in the 'slums' dressed brightly, and immediately attracted a lot of attention. After seeing Linley, many children followed him all the time, as if they were watching a monkey show, they were full of curiosity and interest in Linley.

"Huh?" I searched for several places along the way, but still did not find the little boy. Instead, a few people wearing special clothes appeared in the 'slum', which aroused Linley's interest. Those people were wearing white clothes. The clothes are neat and neat, and the square hat is also worn on the head. Both the clothes and the hat have gold rims, which look noble and honorable.

"People from the 'Bright Holy See'!" Linley was no stranger to this kind of attire. Those clothes belonged to people from the 'Bright Holy See', and these people were also from the 'Bright Holy See'.

A total of five people from the "Holy See of Light" are wandering in the "slums". They are pulling a carriage filled with various living supplies, and they are distributing those living supplies to the people in the "slums" from door to door. Poor people.

"They are followers of the 'Bright Vatican'!" Linley suddenly realized that it was the people of the 'Bright Vatican' who were doing good deeds.

People in the "Holy See of Light" feel that they are the messengers of the "God of Light". supplies, or help people in need, such as treating patients who cannot afford to see a doctor.

So among the people, the prestige of the "Holy See of Light" is actually very high, even higher than that of the kings of some empires, because the "Holy See of Light" has done many things that many kings don't bother to do, including things like rescue. The poor people in the slums, the kings of the empire will not care about the life and death of the poor people in their country, only the "Holy See of Light" cares about them, because in the eyes of the "God of Light", everyone is equal.
