Chapter 231 Differences

Lu En ignored Sid's reaction and continued with his back to the girl:

"These people at the bottom, as well as those hybrid monsters, are told by everyone that they should keep to themselves, and there will be people to protect them from the wind and rain. They just need to wait for the rain and dew to sprout and thrive."

Sid seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned pale.

"Yes, it's just what you think. No one told them that they would never grow up. The fate of their birth is to be harvested by others until they are old and useless, and then they will be abandoned."

Lu En turned around and looked directly at the silver-haired girl.

"They are wheat seedlings, they drink clean water, and their nutrients are their own endosperm, and you! You just happened to use the shadow of your body to block their sun!"

"They should have matured and become golden, spreading their heirs all over the earth, and could live without you, but because you want to have gray skins dyed with red lead powder, to have greasy intestines filled with fish, to parasitize the simple and ignorant

The hardworking people have become that pot of wheat seedlings that will never grow big!"

Sid looked at Lu En, who was making an impassioned speech in front of her, and felt in a daze. The education she had received all along seemed like a big joke. She felt that she could finally understand the behavior of the hateful woman in her mind.

They are not from the same place.

"I wish all those who are suffering to be free from the sickle and the shadow."

"You don't have to listen to the popes and emperors."

"Those who can do things do things, and those who can speak out speak out."

"If there is some heat, there will be some light."

"Just like a firefly, it can also shine a little light in the dark."

"There is no need to wait for the torch. If there is no torch from now on, I will be the only light!"

Looking at the man in front of him saying arrogant words, it was like a thunderbolt striking into his heart, and the concepts he had insisted on for a long time were shattered. The figure was clearly on the same plane as himself, but seemed to be unattainable.

Rooted in the ground, it is like a high peak connecting to the sky and the clouds. It awes people and even shocked Sid for a moment.

Lu En noticed something, turned around slightly and looked at Urahil, only to see that the light spirit was still tinkling, melodiously.

Damn, it turns out that this skill can also be used by others? Persuasion...is it really just a 1000% increase in the damage of verbal attacks?

When Lu En turned to look at Urashir——

However, Sid stayed there in a daze. Memories quickly flooded into her mind, starting with the fine clothes and food she grew up in, her wealth and wealth, and then...her brother was banished from home and became a pirate. In order to see her brother, she

, I went out alone and saw a lot...a lot.

She was protected in a clean and dust-free place, and there were suffering people outside. When they came close to her, their suffering turned into gold coins and wealth. She was a noble noble knight, standing in the mud of the slums.

White Lotus, but is the mud... dirty? Is she really a White Lotus?

The white lotus... blooms in the blood, and the mud is the purest soil.

Memories flashed back, and the experience of Star Maple King City was recalled. Those monster hybrids... those poor people who couldn't survive spent almost three-quarters of their income on food, and three-quarters of these three-quarters were spent on food.

Two-thirds of food expenditures were spent solely on bread, which meant that about half of the income was spent solely on bread, and as far as Sid knew, this situation had changed little over the past half century.

Just to eat some black bread, they have to spend three-quarters of their income. What does this mean? It means that almost all the food they have in their lives is the kind of unpalatable black bread.

When Sid saw that kind of food for the first time, he just felt disgusting. It smelled sour and rancid. If it was cold, it would be as hard as wood. If you bite it with one tooth, you might not be able to eat it. Moreover, if you swallow it, your throat will be scratched.

But this is the only food that many people have in their entire lives. They never eat anything other than this until they die.

When she was in Star Maple King City, Bai did statistics. Her skill was coordination and she was best at doing these things. According to her field investigation, even in Star Maple King City, the average weekly household income of the poor was only two Star Maple coins.

Silver coins are sixty copper coins; the average weekly income of miners' families is six star maple silver coins, and the average weekly income of manufacturing worker families is fifteen star maple silver coins and seventy-six copper coins.

These higher household incomes among mining and manufacturing households have two components: on the one hand, men earn higher wages, and on the other hand, in industrial areas, children start working at the age of five or six and remain in the family

Until marriage: Their income accounted for about 40% of the family income.

Yes, miners' families, families in workshops or factories, regardless of whether they are monsters or humans, have higher incomes. In addition to slightly higher wages, another reason is because their children become adults when they are five or six years old.

You need to work in a factory or help in a mine.

During Bai's investigation, almost all family members described a scene in which a man who worked hard all day transferred all his income to his wife, who then used the meager income to buy food, but only

I can afford the cheapest one, but it is still not enough for the whole family.

On the other hand, since three-quarters of all income is spent on food, a small reduction in income or an increase in spending can send a hand-to-mouth family into starvation, leaving them with little to spare.

Investing in the future, such as buying books or educating children, although everyone knows that this will allow the children to get higher wages, do better jobs, and even become professionals in the future! But as long as you do this, the whole family will benefit.

People starve. What is the cost of starvation?

It's death.

Because the man in the family does not have enough to eat, the physical work he does will be less efficient, the money he will earn will be less, he will be less and less able to eat, and he may also get sick. Once he gets sick, he will be out of work.

If most of the family's income is lost, the final outcome is that the whole family dies, or the man dies. In order to support the children, the mother becomes the lowest-end prostitute. She earns a little money, but it is definitely not enough for the children to continue studying, so she can only continue to return home.

It has reached the previous situation where most of the income was used for food.

And such a day is not long, it is very simple, because this kind of lowest-end prostitute, due to the hygienic conditions and diseases, as well as the cultural level and roughness of the "customer", usually the working experience is not very long, and she will be covered with internal diseases within a short time.

, with haggard faces and injuries all over their bodies, and because of their income level, they do not receive adequate treatment. After their bodies are completely exhausted, they will die.

For example... Bai's mother, she was a monster and half-blooded Moon Wolf, but even so, she only lasted for ten years before leaving Bai to die, and the human body is much worse than the Moon Wolf.

Being able to persist for three to five years is probably the limit.

Such a situation forces them to dare not invest in the future and can only be trapped in the status quo. Generation after generation, generation after generation, they endure complex laws, occasional wars, and eternal oppression. No one thinks there is anything wrong with this.

, this is life, everything is natural.

It's not that Sid didn't know this, but she was a noble, and her position meant that she had to stabilize all of this, so she deliberately ignored what she had seen and heard in the Star Maple Kingdom, and defined them as thieves and rebellions that tried to subvert the regime.

But can it really be ignored? If it is really ignored...she will not hide everything that happened to Xingfeng from her father. If it is really ignored, she will not learn to take a bath by herself and learn not to squander.

If she could really ignore it...she wouldn't have gone into Anluo alone.

Now that she understands how bad the world is, how should she make a choice?

What is right? What is right? What is right?

What is right? What is right? What is right?

I don’t know, I don’t know. Her childhood education told her that she is a noble, she is a knight. They fight in the name of honor and chivalry. They belong to social celebrities or aristocratic classes. They devote their lives to lords, kings, and gods.

Then rule your own territory and give fair treatment to the subjects in your territory.

Because the people are ignorant and humble, they do not seek progress and are ignorant. They need someone to lead them. They need nobles and emperors, otherwise they will not be able to survive. Therefore, they must have a wise leader, like the most perfect emperor.

To rule and establish a perfect ruling system, under his peaceful guidance, all pain and war will end. Becoming such a wise lord was once Sid's goal.

But what did she see with her own eyes? She saw the revelry of nobles, talented men and beauties, emperors and generals, major families, true love, dances, beautiful dramas, music, and indulgent enjoyment.

What a romantic life, with hazy days and nights, singing and dancing, beauties like jade, romance and romance.

Even if it is a war, fighting back and forth, no one will die in the end. The loser will just be captured and finally taken back by the family for a large ransom. Such wars are often just for "glory".

Glory, what a romantic word, how can it not be romantic when billions of people at the bottom are trampled and exploited by them? Thousands of people died in the war, who is a noble like Sid? A button on her collar is heavier than the same one.

The gold is still valuable, her armor is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, of which 50,000 gold coins are just for carving patterns on it without affecting its performance.

Fifty thousand emperor gold coins, exchanged for that kind of cheap black bread, is the ration of tens of thousands of people in the slums for ten years. Tens of thousands of people have no worries about food and drink for ten years, but it is just some complicated patterns carved on her armor.

, it doesn’t even improve defense, it’s just pretty.

Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!

But what did she see in the slum? What she saw was a monster hybrid pulling a cart, pulling goods and people, working hard without complaint, working hard for a day, earning a pocketful of coppers, maybe a silver coin, and then accidentally bumped into someone on the way home.

When he came to a city defense force, the opponent was a professional with a strong body, but he was knocked to the ground. The copper plate he was carrying carefully spilled all over the floor. He didn't have time to apologize, so he quickly used his body to protect the copper plate, otherwise he would be dead in ten seconds at most.

there is none left.

The city defense force was so aggressive that he kicked the monster hybrid and rolled all over the ground. Fortunately, it was a monster after all, and his body could still withstand it. However, in order to vent his anger, the city defense force towed the car away. The reason was that it was impounded and the car was gone...

How should he live? So, he went to the city defense army's station and knelt down for him. He knelt all night. The military master raised his eyes, cursed a few bitches, and asked him to go to the garbage dump to tow the truck.

Back home, he didn't come home last night and went to kneel down. The children at home were crying from hunger. My wife had no choice but to go to a dark house on the street for an evening and got enough food for a day.

He had to feed the child. This was not the first time and he was used to it.

I gave the copper coin to my wife, who hurriedly went to buy food for tomorrow. They lived as a family of four in one room, and actually gave birth to several sons. But in the previous winter, the family did not have enough clothes, and five of their children fell ill from cold and died.

Three of them died. They were just wrapped in straw mats when they died. Forget about throwing them away or forgetting about crying. Now there are two left. They didn’t even have money to take medicine. They survived by relying on their bodies. They are in good health and will grow for another two years.

Then you can go to work, and then you will have enough food at home.

This is silent sorrow. There are no mountains of corpses and seas of blood, no bones as white as before, and no mourning victims everywhere.

Some are just dark, silent, hunched figures, without any love, romance, or intense emotions. Some are just people like the fallen leaves, living in desperate alleys.

Here, too lazy to pay attention to the leaden sky.

Sid had seen this scene many times in Star Maple King City. Similar things happened every day. The difference was that some survived and then continued the next time, while others died after surviving countless times.

.

Therefore, she concealed what happened in Star Maple King City, and she helped Bai and Livia, because Bai and Livia built a workshop there. In the workshop, they did not eat black bread, but vegetables and flour cakes.

, even meat and salt.

That workshop taught them how to practice skills, how to become professionals, taught them how to read, and told them that the world is actually more than that, that there is love in this world, and that it is not about getting married to have children or to vent desires. There is more in this world.

Beautiful things are not hazy day and night, singing and dancing, beauties like jade, romantic flowers, snow and moon, that beautiful thing is called... hope.

What is hope?

Hopefully, we won’t have to eat black bread in the future.

The hope is that every day you wake up with a new beginning.

The hope is that you don't have to think about how to survive, but think about what to have for dinner.

Hope is...even though we are in darkness, we still believe that everything will get better.

Will the insensitive people in the slums firmly believe that everything will get better? No, they just have despair.

But after a while, the people in that workshop began to believe this.
