Struggle in Valoran

“We don’t need cleaners anymore, sir, you know, Jana Goddess directly solves all the haze. So… we don’t need to clean up the haze from the windows. “

With a voice of refusal, Zaun’s cleaner left the family’s door helplessly, and then reluctantly sat down next to a flowerbed full of flowers and plants, sniffing greedily. The fresh floral scent that was impossible in the past, while savoring the fresh air. Although he was very moved and delighted by this kind of things that he had never experienced since he was born, he still wanted to use the brush in his hand to give the Goddess of the wind a brush, because she made him lose his job: Clean up the thick dust on the Zaun people’s house to ensure that they will not enter your home through the windows and other gaps, and then cause you to contract a severe lung disease.

The Goddess of the wind that brings hope, and the City Lord who can transform trees and food, they joined forces to make him unemployed.

“What’s the matter, little Lucas! Didn’t find a job today?”

But when he was melancholy thinking about his younger sister’s tuition fees , An enthusiastic voice would appear behind him, and then he just wanted to run away, his head was grabbed by a rough big hand, and then he took care of the haircut, and laughed at the other person. The sound became a chicken coop. When he broke away angrily, and wanted to condemn the worker who had been reprimanding and teaching him, a strong man also called Lucas. Suddenly he felt a warm paper bag sticking to his face and made him smell a strange fragrance.

“You did not eat again in the morning to save money. Take it. This is the food called steamed buns. It is said that it is the food from the hometown of our King Your Majesty. He made it himself and was learned by the chefs. This kind of weird pie, I think it’s pretty good, so I made some with seagull meat.”

The big Lucas smiled and stuffed the paper bag into the little Lucas’ hands. , And then picked up the newspaper on his door, and then laughed out again.

“As a result, today’s headlines are still our Goddess of the Wind, our mythical ship Storm Goddess, and the news of her’lover’.”

Little Luca Si knows that the “lover” in Lucas’s mouth is their new navy commander, that is, the Gangplank of the big ship that is several hundred meters long and can fly in the sky. The title of the other party’s lover is because she has never gotten off the ship since she got the ship, and directly neglected her partner and let their king Your Majesty bear it during the night. I couldn’t help but complained, “She has found her own wife”, and the title of unfathomable mystery is spread everywhere.

“Hey, I really don’t know why everyone likes them so much.”

Little Lucas couldn’t help turning his head too far, and said this very uncomfortably. , Originally he went to clean the dust, although it was dangerous, and he might be sick. But it can feed him and her younger sister, and save money for his younger sister to study in a master’s workshop and become a mechanic living in Vi. But now? No one would ask him to clean up the house, because Jana came back, and also got rid of the toxic haze that allowed him to make a living.

Although he also found out last month that he started to vomit blood because of his work, and fell into exhaust from time to time, but he didn’t care, as long as his younger sister can live happily, it’s fine. After working for another month, he can save enough for the younger sister’s tuition for the next few years.

“You can’t talk nonsense, little Lucas, although you lost your job because of them, you can go to school again. Because Master Li Ke said it, all Children who reach the age of eighteen must go to school to study.”

The big Lucas rubbed the head of the little Lucas. He used to be dissatisfied with this hard-working cleaner because of this, even though the other party I can finish things quickly and well every time, and I am very polite to everyone, and everyday all is very energetic and energetic. But the more he is like this, the more he feels pity, because such a child will eventually die because of the poisonous haze, and it is his unhappy family and his unlucky family that will cause him to have such a fate. A kind heart.

“But when I was eight years old, I was able to clean up the haze on the roof, and I did it quickly and well! I didn’t have to go to school to learn anything! Even more how I went to school, and finally It’s not necessary to do these things!”

However, Lucas was even more dissatisfied. He dropped out of school because he and his younger sister would still live in Zaun after all, and the two of them are also going to live in Zaun. There is no doubt that he will be starved to death, so he has borne the burden of the family since he was a child. At all costs, he has to send his younger sister to a good teacher to learn Hex Technology.

“This shouldn’t be something to be proud of, little Lucas.”

The big Lucas felt his eyes suddenly hot because of what the little Lucas said. , But if it were before, he could do nothing but sigh, because he himself was a person drifting with the crowd in this constantly falling vortex. He couldn’t see hope, but could only see despair. But now it’s different. Jana cleared away the haze that threatened them all the time. Li Ke gave them sufficient wages and dignity, as well as a safe living environment. And a lot of low-priced food and vegetables, and the Fruit Tree that grows almost everywhere.

This is no longer the time when I can only watch my son do the same job, suffer the same illness, and experience the same life as myself.

But he didn’t even dare to believe that everything Li Ke said was true. He could really allow them to live such a life forever. Because he has been disappointed too many times, unlike those rich people who naively think Zaun and Vi are equal, and youngsters. The low-level workers who have formed a family in this way can see the deep despair in this city.

In fact, until Naga appeared and wiped out all the haze as soon as he came out, he wondered if it would be better for the people before them to rule these two cities, but as a representative Hopeful and prosperous, Gana responded to the man’s call, cleaned the entire city, and blessed the man and the boat that the man had transformed. He completely believed in Li Ke and pinned his hopes on him and Jana.

“Times have changed, and true hope has emerged. You no longer have to work hard to fight for that hope for your younger sister, because Li Ke gives all Zaun children the opportunity to go to school, you can I’m going to pursue my own hope.”

He put his arms around little Lucas, he was watching coldly until now, sitting and watching the other side step by step towards the tragedy vortex, but since he was really willing to give them hope, and really Someone who realized part of their dream scene appeared. So why didn’t he pick up the dream he had already lost, and then try to pass it on and realize it?

“I believe he will make us live better, Lucas.”

He persuaded two Lucas at the same time, and the one who was willing to sacrifice his life for the younger sister The little cleaner of, also when a blue bird passed happily, raised his hand holding the paper bag, and put his arm around Lucas’s shoulder.
