When she came to the outer city, she stood in the ice and snow, looking at all this blankly.
There was a vast expanse of whiteness and a dead silence.
"Cough...cough cough!"
Xitana clutched her abdomen and shouted hoarsely: "Is there anyone... is there anyone alive! Have you all made it through!"
She felt sights from all around, and no one made a sound, but in this barren outer city, there were indeed many people who could not have survived the severe cold wave and survived.
Hitana originally thought that she could get some comfort because of this, but she found that... the guilt that almost swallowed her did not show any signs of easing.
Marina's sad whisper as she closed her eyes lingered in her mind.
【Originally, everyone could survive】
Sitana slumped to the ground, collapsed on the thick snow.
She couldn't vent, nor was she qualified to vent her pain, so she could only close her eyes and let it devour her.
In the face of this guilt, what is the so-called cold and pain?
In the dilapidated low buildings around here, a wooden door was opened a crack.
The people behind the wooden door observed for a long time, finally gritted their teeth, pushed open the door and rushed out, and hurried to Xitana's side.
"Hey you."
A rough-skinned girl pulled Sitana up: "Are you okay?"
"...?"
Sitana looked blankly at the girl whose skin was red under the biting cold, not knowing how to answer.
"Why did you vomit so much blood!" The girl was shocked, "How dare you come to the outer city with such a serious injury... You really are not afraid of death!"
She looked around vigilantly, stared at those malicious eyes, and helped Xitana into her room.
It was only when she walked into this room that Xitana realized in the chaos—it turned out that a normal room is so cold.
She had already somewhat forgotten the feeling of living in such a cold and dilapidated house.
The flames burning in the fireplace proved that the girl was the lucky one who received normal support, and at least survived the natural disaster intact.
"I really don't know what's going on with you. The cold wave has just passed, and you have suffered such serious injuries, yet you still dare to run around outside."
"..." Hitana looked at her squatting by the fireplace and asked hoarsely, "Aren't you afraid of me...are you a bad person?"
"Um……"
The girl tilted her head: "The villain wouldn't use that pitiful expression to say 'Is there anyone alive?', right?"
"You didn't either..." the girl looked at her numb and pale face, and asked hesitantly, "Didn't you get the normal coal?"
Sitana opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Should she get down on her knees to this girl, kowtow to her, and tell her I'm the one who kept you from getting the normal coal?
"If you want me to say, one of those nobles counts as one, and they should have been killed long ago."
The girl sighed, and then said angrily: "Master Hydera wants to do things for us so much, they actually cut corners! Most people should be able to survive, but now, now..."
She looked at the other bed in the room with a gloomy expression.
"...However, I believe that Lord Hydera will uphold justice for us."
The girl comforted Hitana in this way: "Don't worry, he will definitely kill all those nobles! For those who died
revenge! "
Sitana twitched the corners of her mouth, barely showing a smile.
That was probably the only good thing she had heard... on this desperate morning.
That is, the civilians in Scarlet Frost City still trust Anser, the Hydera who gave them their future and their hope.
This was to finally reduce one of her unforgivable sins.
"I think, who is the earl? Jian Shi? Kill him too! That guy is so hypocritical! There are still many people in the outer city who love him. Don't think that no one can see through his hypocrisy, that guy They didn't treat us as human beings at all..."
As if to divert Hitana's attention, the girl kept expressing her indignation, and those familiar words also comforted the wolf a lot.
Then--
"...and those merchants who have made the quality of coal so bad, they must all be killed! All hang—"
【You're finally back, what did you do, take so long? 】
The little blood that had just risen on Xitana's face disappeared in an instant.
"Hey, strange, where is the sound coming from?"
The girl pressed her face to the window with a weird face: "Why does the voice sound like you..."
"...Like it?"
The girl who looked at the open space in the middle of the residential area murmured dully.
Because she saw there... a magnified light curtain.
On the light curtain, a beautiful snow-haired girl was talking to a nobleman impatiently.
[I said, I don't have time to spend with you. 】
【You mentioned before, let me pay for the coal to keep the poor through this cold wave...】
【...It doesn't mean that the nobles of the entire Scarlet Frost Territory can't do it】
【You don’t need to spend a penny of Your Excellency Hydera】
In that incomparably clear picture, all the people who have received the grace of Hydera and praised Hydera countless times in the cold wave saw the girl saying——
[In this way, Hydera doesn't need to pay at all, and can still earn a big reputation! 】
Ps:
The serial torture is about to start, I don't know how to feel about these two chapters.Anyway, when I wrote it myself, I felt that I was not strong enough to express Xigougou’s despair better, and I couldn’t achieve the perfection I expected. I can only say that I am doing my best, and I still have to work hard (sigh)
Chapter 66 The Great Despair Part Three
That light curtain was broadcasting the conversation between Sitana and Earl Stone, and it made some... cuts and adjustments very cleverly.
The entire conversation revealed such a message——
Hydera publicized her greatness on the surface, and secretly sent people to ask the nobles to pay for the coal. While paying nothing, she gained a huge reputation for nothing.
This scene even made the poor people who had been hiding in the house come out, walk on the cold street with disbelief, and stare at the looping scene.
"This is... what's going on?"
"This is fake! It's the nobles who are slandering Lord Hydera!"
"But, but that girl... isn't she Lord Hydera's most trusted subordinate?"
A more piercing coldness than winter spreads on the white streets.
Sitana looked at the light curtain in horror, from the skin to the muscles, from the muscles to the meridians, from the meridians to the bones, every part of the body, every cell, trembled horribly.
She had never, never felt such fear.
"Haha...hahahaha!"
A sad old laughter echoed in the empty snow field. A bloodless old man staggered and pushed open his dilapidated wooden door and fell into the snow:
"It's all fake...it's all fake! From Lienna to Renter, from Forbesant to Cantrell, and now Hydera... Has anything changed over the years? What? nor!"
He pointed to the young people who came outside, trembling all over, looking at the light curtain in a daze, and laughed maniacally:
"You guys actually believed the nobleman's nonsense! After so many years, so many noblemen, which one of them didn't promise this and that at the beginning...Why, the current Hydera just gave some sweetness, and you think he is really a Are you nice?"
"They never cared about us!"
The desperate cry that was almost weeping blood echoed in the sky, and the old man sank his hands into the snow, tears streaming down his face:
"Mel... my Mel, you actually believed that animal nobleman would save us, I am the one who should be damned, obviously I should be the one who should be damned...why do you..."
He clutched his head, sobbing pitifully.
Like a dream.
Living, or rather, lingering in this barren area, people who live a numb life with no expectation all day long, seem to have a beautiful but short-lived dream.
They really believed that the gentle and kind young nobleman without losing his thunderous skills would bring them a bright future.
That impassioned and inspiring speech is still vivid in my mind that day.
He made it clear that if fate wants death to take their lives away, then he must let them survive the cold wave.
The people present, looking at the light curtain, gradually collapsed one by one, and indeed survived.
But what about those who didn't survive?
What about those who have been touched by your commitment and sincerity, inspired, looking forward to the future, and admiring you with all their heart?
In order to reduce calorie consumption, how many people are forced to go to the wind and snow, and set foot on the road of death in the name of asking for help?
Who will those ice sculptures be?Whose husband, whose wife, whose child, whose relative, whose friend?
The dark torrent began to sweep everything.
Sitana stood up, she couldn't let this go on like this, it's obviously... It's her fault!Everything has nothing to do with Hydera!It was her idea that the nobleman should bear all the expenses, not Anser——
...No, Anser?
In a daze, Xitana's mind flashed her sister's terrified expression, that merciless slap in the face, and... Anser's half-smile.
wait, why...
Why, Anser and sister, didn't stop me?
They clearly knew, why...didn't stop me?
When this terrifying thought rose from Sitana's mind, to destroy her only remaining self, a sudden pain came from the back of her head.
"……It's you."
Holding the slender iron rod tightly in her hand, the trembling girl bit her lip and shouted, "It's you! It's you who killed Dad, it's you!"
Bang!Bang!Bang!
That thin and petite body exploded with strength that she shouldn't have under the despair and rage. The girl swung the iron rod and slammed the back of Sitana's head hard.
"Go to hell...Go to hell! I actually saved you, I thought you were the same person as me...Go to hell! Beast! Go to hell!"
Even after experiencing merciless self-abuse, this level of attack can't actually have any effect on Sitana, but the hysterical roar and the smash without holding back made Sitana have no resistance will and strength.
The weakness and collapse of her mind made her body lose the strength she was proud of.
She was so nice to me just now, and now... wants to kill me.
Ah... Isn't this a matter of course? I did it on my own.
Among those who died, there was also her father.
Sitana, whose consciousness was already chaotic, fell to the ground, thinking in a trance.
It would be great if she could really be killed.
In this way, will she feel better?
The scarred wolf silently endured the blows again and again. The little girl's hands were worn out, and the iron rod was bent, but they didn't cause any substantial damage to her.
"...is it dead?"
The girl panted heavily, looked at the motionless girl who had collapsed on the ground, and kicked her in the stomach viciously.
"Pooh!"
She spit sweet saliva on Xitana's face: "You can just die outside like this... No, it's too cheap for you to die, there are disgusting guys in the outer city... I'm going to throw you Outside, even if you die, you will be ruined by them!"
The intense, bone-marrowing horror and viciousness made Sitana's heart twitch.
She didn't dare to open her eyes to see the little girl's appearance, she was afraid that when she opened her eyes, what she saw was not a human, but an evil ghost.
Hitana felt that her body was being dragged bit by bit, but it seemed that because she had used too much force when hitting Hitana just now, the little girl who was already a little exhausted couldn't stop after dragging twice. Continue to drag the strength out.
"It's okay... Huh... I can just call them here... You have to pay the price, you... all... all of you!"
