Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"What happened next? Did you capture Rem Billiton? Where was your expeditionary force?"
"We only watched your first live broadcast. Later, people from the Parliament and the Royal Court took away the big screen and radio, so we didn't know."
Shen Muke was disrupted by the enthusiasm of the workers. He originally wanted to follow Old Cod in quietly, and then go underground to wait for the Gray Wing organization to gather.
But I didn't expect that Old Cod would show up like this as soon as he entered the factory... Now his identity was "exposed."
However, it’s not a bad thing, as I can communicate with the workers.
Because the managers of the Royal Dale Arsenal are only responsible for setting indicators and acceptance, and the people here are ordinary workers, so it is quite safe here.
Shen Muke sat down surrounded by workers. From the words of these workers, Shen Muke fully understood the recent public opinion.
The fall of Rem Billiton did not make Agaritu an enemy of the people of Victoria. Instead, his upright speech and aboveboard ideals and beliefs infected many people. Many workers even regarded him as a hero, such as Corvo Virtue.
According to "informed sources", Old Cod has said more than once: If only my brat could be half as successful as Brother Agaritu!
Old Cod's story also reflects the aspirations of the workers. They have little interest in Rem Billiton, which is thousands of miles away, because they will not get any benefit from that land whether it is there or not, but the name Those words spoken for the people of Agaritu are touching!
"Challenge all predators and careerists!"
What an inspiring slogan!
Workers have simple emotions. They don't care about the pie painted by politicians, but they really care about the visible hope.
"Mr. Agaritu, are you here to save us when you come back this time?"
"Mr. Agaritu, you don't know. After Londinium experienced the crisis more than ten years ago, the parliament lowered our salary and benefits again and again, saying that during difficult times, we should not Cut it a little. Hehe, I believe he is a turtle! Our salary has not been increased since the Londinium crisis! If you hadn't started that live broadcast, we would have almost forgotten that this country has a name. Where is Rem Billiton’s land!”
The so-called happiness is always similar, but suffering is diverse.
These workers have been under high pressure for a long time. They have long been fed up with the oppression from the powerful, and they urgently need someone to save them.
Today, Mr. Agaritu, who resisted the powerful and finally achieved some results, is back.
At that time, before Shen Muke started the live broadcast to the mainland, most workers did not believe that the man who challenged Victoria was the man selling herbal tea and herbal medicine. It was not until they saw it with their own eyes that they suddenly realized.
It turns out that Agaritu is really Agaritu.
Shen Muke was surrounded by workers. He answered everyone's questions briefly and clearly:
"Mr. Agaritu, how is the war at Rem Billiton?"
"The warriors of Sarkaz and the workers of Rembiton were victorious, and the marauders were driven away."
"Recently, the city of Londinium is recruiting troops. Is there another counterattack?"
"Exactly, the nobles and politicians are not willing to fail like this. They also want to return to Rem Billiton."
"Mr. Agaritu, you are here because you are here to
Pay Victoria's? "
"It's not about dealing with it, it's about changing it. I don't want Victoria to continue on this endless road. In this regard, everyone and I should have the same idea, right?"
Workers from the periphery kept coming up with all kinds of questions, and many even asked about the relationship between Hedley and Miss Ines, who was carrying the camera.
Shen Muke suppressed a smile and told the other party that the two of them were just comrades-in-arms, and this stopped the other party's wonderful imagination.
Sure enough, there is no shortage of people who want to knock CP in this world.
Chapter 51 Gray Wings Gather
Shen Muke felt that the concerns of comrades workers were always so strange at certain times that he had to spend more energy explaining the interpersonal relationships in the expeditionary force than talking about ideology.
"Ines is a Caprini, she is not Sakaz, how could she and Hedley be lovers?"
"What are you asking about her horns? She sharpened them herself. You can't just assume that she is just because she looks similar, right?"
"Hamil and Logos have nothing to do with each other. Yes, they are not siblings, and of course they are not siblings. They are just very good-looking."
This ridiculous conversation lasted for half an hour. The atmosphere became more and more lively and made Shen Muke dumbfounded.
What does this mean? Is this the simplest form of humor?
Goo... Goo... Goo...
Yu Ge's voice reached Shen Muke's ears again. He paused and knew that the Gray Wings had arrived at the outskirts of the factory.
"Everyone, everyone!"
Shen Muke stood up and said loudly: "I am happy to be able to communicate with you all again, but everyone, I have other things to do now."
"So, everyone, please be patient, I have to go do some work."
The workers fell silent. They smiled kindly at Shen Muke, and then slowly dispersed to make way for him.
"Thank you all."
In the eyes of everyone full of expectation and reverence, Shen Muke held up his hat and walked towards the pigeon whistle.
……
squeak-
The rusted iron door was gently pushed open, and after a brief silence, several figures flashed in.
They walked into the factory and saw the young man wearing a wizard's hat slowly turning around.
"Agaritu?!" Someone recognized Shen Muke, his tone was surprised and delighted.
Shen Muke couldn't help but frown when he heard the sound.
As an intelligence organization formerly led by the Duke of Cumberland, it is good that members of the Gray Wings reacted like this after recognizing themselves, which shows that they are committed to change.
But as an intelligence organization, is it really okay for you to be so rude during contacts?
Shen Muke sighed inexplicably. These people from all kinds of religions and schools were still not very professional. They acted like a grass-roots team. They could deal with ordinary enemies, but if they faced real masters, they would be defeated all at once. Will be caught!
At this point, these Gray Wings are really not as good as the trained wilderness veterans of Sarkaz.
Veterans all know what orders and prohibitions are and hierarchy is, they are professionals.
Shaking his head to hide his thoughts, Shen Muke took a step forward and said, "If I say that I am from the West."
"Then you are Aslan's friend," replied the Gray Wings.
"If I say I'm from the East."
"Then you are a friend of this land!" replied the Gray Wings.
"If I say I need a warrior to help me."
"Then we are here to help you!!"
Sonorous and powerful words enveloped the factory, and dozens of Gray Wings raised their hands and saluted Shen Muke——
"Grey Wings of Londinium, report to the leader!"
……
Ursus, northern wasteland, within the village.
In the hut made of adobe and thatch, the dragon girl took off the heavy bandages, and the pain she suffered along the way healed.
"If there were enough medicine...this injury would have been healed long ago..."
Tallulah shook her head in frustration. With her strong bloodline, it would take several months to recover from the injury. It was not because of the severity of the injury, but entirely because of the poor environment and conditions here.
"People like me have to spend so much time recuperating from their injuries... What about ordinary farmers and workers? What will happen to them if they are injured or sick?"
Tallulah's expression darkened, she stroked the sword in her hand and remained silent.
"How are you recovering?"
A crisp voice sounded, Alina, the white-haired Elafia opened the heavy curtain, she walked in with a bowl of soup made from potatoes, wild vegetables and feathered beast eggs, and said: "Tallulah, How are you feeling?"
"That's good, Alina."
Tallulah smiled sincerely. During this time, she was very happy because she finally had a friend.
Tallulah was brought to Ursus by the Black Snake since she was very young. At that time, she knew two people who had a profound influence on her.
One is Cosiche and the other is Agaritu.
The former is the enemy, the latter is the teacher.
Yes, technically speaking, Tallulah did not have a boyhood.
A normal teenage years should be spent with peers, but Tallulah has lost this beautiful thing since she was a teenager.
She was always alone, always lonely. Looking back now, she felt
It was incredible that I could persevere in that environment. If Teacher Agaritu hadn't always given me encouragement and help, I would probably have become the kind of person Cosiche envisioned.
"Yeah~" Alina smiled and put the bowl in Tallulah's hand and said, "Drink it, you are not fully recovered yet."
"Thank you..." Tallulah held the bowl and looked at the soup with almost no oil or water visible.
This is certainly not a gourmet meal, and any afternoon tea Tallulah has had in Cosiche's mansion over the years is much more luxurious than this, but Tallulah knows clearly that this is a village that is almost celebrating a festival. The “good stuff” you can only drink when.
After drinking a little of the soup, Tallulah looked at Alina's gradually blooming smile and said curiously:
"Alina, why are you always smiling?"
"Laughing? Is there any reason to laugh?" Alina replied in surprise: "Is it normal to have a sad face all day long?"
"But, there's nothing funny about it, right?" Tallulah said, stroking the gap on the edge of the bowl.
"Oh~ I see!"
Alina sat next to Tallulah, her eyes gradually softened:
"What do you think of life here?"
"It's very difficult, Alina. Compared with my previous material life, it's very difficult." Tallulah whispered: "I simply can't imagine how the people in the village spend every day like this. "
"But that's how we got through it." Alina said: "Not only that, we also kept the weekly singing and dancing parties. Our life is full and happy."
"But…"
"Tallulah, I know what you want to say." Alina said calmly: "Want to know? The reason for our life."
"...Please tell me."
Alina stood up and looked out the window:
"Tallulah, did you know? Life is a very fragile thing in the snowfield."
"People living here don't know if they can see tomorrow. A natural disaster, a disease, or even an ordinary accident may take their lives."
"But does that mean we should live in misery all day long?"
"No, never!"
Alina took Tallulah's hand and said: "Tallulah, we must never give up singing because of the pain of life. It is precisely because the world is difficult enough that we must sing and move forward to the light!"
Chapter 52 A ghost
As Shen Muke expected, even the strongest fighter, Tallulah, has her own weaknesses.
A person's character and experience will determine what kind of person he becomes, and this is the case with Tallulah.
Tallulah's unfortunate experience set her on the path of resisting fate and the old rules, but similarly, the great ideal of liberation cannot be achieved by relying on pain and anger.
Fighter Tallulah, her life is full of all kinds of tragedy and pain. She marches forward on thorns, which is good, but someone also needs to give her a moment of warmth.
The person sending warmth could not be Agaritu or anyone else, it could only be Alina.
This is Alina's role, Tallulah is responsible for leading the team, and she is responsible for leading Tallulah.
"Want to go out for a walk?"
"it is good."
……
In the northern snowfields of Ursus, there are only a few months each year for cultivation, growth, and harvesting, which means that the yield of food per acre will never be large. Therefore, in order to survive, farmers have to use alternative "human "Navigation tactics", they cultivated large tracts of farmland within their capabilities and tried to plant as many varieties as possible, so that they could barely maintain food and clothing.
This agricultural production model is actually very fragile, because once the fields encounter a natural disaster, no matter what type or intensity it is, the food output of that year will definitely decrease, and then they will have to migrate to other places to make a living.
In addition to natural disasters that affect people's lives, there are also man-made disasters.
The long-term war in Ursus has greatly increased the demand for food. After all, you cannot ask politicians and military officers to farm their own land, because these demands are unreserved or even intensified on ordinary people.
A farmer may end up with half of the fruits of his hard work for a year going to the upper echelons of Ursus who are not involved in production. If he is unlucky and encounters a natural disaster, he may not be able to pay the full amount of taxes, or he may even be kidnapped and used as labor.
This is the chaos that was born out of Ursus's huge military system and backward production model. During the emperor's period, these problems were still able to be overcome when the Ursus military state was victorious and relied on war to support war. However, Not anymore.
