Chapter 0235 Self-pity
"I am always kind and kind. But some people are too greedy and never feel satisfied." Fei Zhe slapped the table hard in the living room of the council meeting in Tielu Village and threw down a piece of papyrus that copied the iron ore demand.
The papyrus was very hard and could not withstand external forces. It was thrown away and fell all over. Luke stared at the falling page, silent and sighed.
Around Luke, six or seven village leaders sat at the table, frowning. They were all invited by Feizhe to the party, which was actually considered private connection.
On weekdays, the human leaders in the Black Forest are very busy. They worry about the food storage in the village every day, the monsters in the wild, and the constant conflicts between inside and outside. But now they are relaxed.
Victor Hugo descended to the Black Forest and became the leader of fifteen human settlements. The original leader soon discovered that nothing he had to worry about in the past existed because the population in the village was losing a lot.
Harmonious village has jobs, food, and development opportunities, and no one can withstand such temptation. The original village soon left only some old and weak, young and even backbone all ran away.
Their birthdays are actually much better than in the past when each village can only do odd jobs for Harmony Village. After all, Zhou Qingfeng has money and supplies, so he is even more stingy. But no one can go back to the past when he was in his own territory.
"Now it's certain that we're all fooled. Victor Hugo took everything from us, threw down a few gold coins and thought it was to pity us. He forgot that we helped him to power.
He was just an outsider, and he was going to rule us. If he had known this, it would have been better to let the Bain Church occupy the Black Forest, and we would not have lived so badly."
Among the village leaders who attended, Fei Zhe was the most indignant. Compared with other villages that had no production, his Tielu Village lived the best because Zhou Qingfeng needed his iron ore.
In recent months, Tielu Village has made more money than in the past few decades. The more you can make, the more resentful Feizhe is. He always feels that Victor Hugo makes more, and he hates it even more.
Someone asked in a low voice: "Fezhe, how are you doing now when you said the 'Journal of Justice'?"
"Those are all wastes, they have already gotten out of here." Fei Zhe cursed unhappily: "I originally thought Tyre's men could do something big, but I didn't see them doing anything. Victor Hugo left Harmony Village for more than a month, but they did nothing."
Fei Zhe didn't know that Warren's crusade team had been beaten twice by Zhou Qingfeng. But even if he knew, he would complain. Someone asked again, "What about Hanfeng City? Do they sit still and watch?"
"It is said that Colonfire has trouble with his long legs, but it is unclear what happened. Hanfeng City has built a fortress to the 'Elf Ruins' before, and stopped halfway through the construction. It is estimated that there is no money to continue." Fei Zhe said.
Everyone was silent again. Everyone knew that in terms of money, no one in the Black Forest could compare to Victor Hugo. Now that even Hanfeng City has been defeated, they can only sigh.
Everyone was drinking wine at the table and complaining, and the topic was about Luke. The ranger first came into contact with Zhou Qingfeng, and later made a lot of efforts to control the Black Forest. Fei Zhe is now full of resentment, and he is inevitably sarcastic when speaking to him.
"Luke, do you regret it now?"
Ah, Luke was holding a wine glass, stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "I am not like you were the leaders of your own villages. I am just an ordinary adventurer. Now I don't have to worry about food and drink. Why do you regret it?"
Fei Zhe pointed at Luke and smiled, "Don't deny it, you just regret it. Look at Naer who defected to her. That wild woman can set up a tavern to make a lot of money. What about you? Come to me to drink sour wine."
Luke just smiled, "The tavern in Harmony Village does make money, but that's not Naer's own. Besides, everyone's abilities are different. I can't do it when I ask me to go to the tavern."
Che, Fei Zhe sneered disdainfully, "You are all soft-boys, and they are afraid of that foreign boy. I am not afraid of him. That boy wants me to mine every day, but I won't give it to you. Anyway, I have made enough money, but I can't let that boy feel too happy."
The few down-and-out leaders at the table laughed, as if this could embarrass Victor Hugo. Only Luke whispered: "Aren't you afraid that our Chairman will cause trouble?"
"What trouble can he cause me?" Fei Zhe spread his hands and said happily: "I'm almost gone in my village, how can I mine? If Chairman Hugo asks, let him dig it by himself."
Hahaha, there was another burst of laughter, and the air was a little lively.
Luke sighed and said, "Schroeder from the Rat Village, Lukans from the White Crow Village, and Old Seuss from the Plaster Village," he stood up from the table and walked out slowly, "Fezer, I always feel that you are in danger."
Everyone was stunned and watched Luke leave the house. The names of the people they just mentioned were all familiar opponents they used to be, but now they are all dead. Slowly, the others also stopped the wine glasses in their hands and said goodbye to leave.
Fei Zhe felt a chill, but he couldn't stop the other leaders. He shouted loudly in the empty living room: "You cowards, you have lived for so many years and have lost all your courage. I am really ashamed of you!"
The words were loud and the echoes were vibrating, but unfortunately no one listened.
The living room was quiet, Fei Zhe sat alone at the long table, frowned and stared at the papyrus that he threw to the ground. In front of outsiders, he was unwilling to bow his head and show weakness. But no one paid attention now, and Luke's words made him a little scared.
The faster the Harmonious Village develops, the more unhappy Fei Zhe feels. He remembers the boy he met at the beginning, and sometimes hates why he didn't kill the other person with one knife.
But Fei Zhe knew very well that even if the other party was killed, the situation in Tielu Village would not improve. Even if he defected to the Bann Church, his life would not be better. This was why he was worried that no matter what choice he made, there was no way out.
Even if you repeat the game, Fei Zhe could not control his destiny. This brought him a great sense of frustration, as if someone was constantly reminding him to accept his fate. It was not that you could not do it, but that you were not a hero at all.
Sitting alone until late at night. The temperature turned cold, but no servant came in to light the light to add fire. Fei Zhe himself fell into a vicious cycle of self-pitying thinking, and was always thinking about what to do to get rid of the current dilemma.
But when the living room was completely dark, the oak door suddenly opened, and a cold wind blew into the outside, causing Fei Zhe to tremble in the cold. Only then did he realize something was wrong, he cursed and called for the servant.
But the one who came in outside the living room was not a servant, but Luke, the first one who left before. Immediately followed by the leaders of other villages, walked in with a ugly face, and Mumu returned to the long table and sat down.
Several servants finally came in outside the door, and the living room was lit by torches. Fei Zhe shouted in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Why are you running back? What's going on?"
Everyone glanced at Fei Zhe, as if they were looking at a dead person.
Another person came in outside the oak gate. Inesa was wearing a dark red cloak. Behind the female knight were several of her retainers, covered in armor and a cold face. Fei Zhe saw her and immediately shivered.
