Chapter 459 The Dark Regime
Tubat Town is a very peaceful and peaceful town. It is built at the front of the Tubat Small Plain, between two mountains. The mountains on the left are gently undulating and covered with green grass. Yingying, the mountains on the right are very steep and there are many cliffs. Passing through the town, you can enter the surrounding area of Tubat Small Plain, and not long further, you can see the majestic Tubat Volcano.
In the poor Kingdom of Guiniz, this area is considered a relatively wealthy place in the country. Relying on the prosperous biological resources on the plains obtained by Tubat volcano and lava, several towns here can live a relatively prosperous life.
According to people in the town, the town of Tubat was originally built under the Tubat volcano. Because a volcanic eruption two years ago destroyed the town, the residents moved here.
“This town is so quiet, there are not many people and it’s not noisy.” Alice dragged on the slippers provided by the hotel and leaned against the wooden fence outside the bedroom on the second floor, admiring the town. Style and character.
"Hey, you got up so early too. Didn't you say you wanted to sleep in yesterday?" Hullington from the other room also came to the balcony of his room, brushing his teeth with a water glass and toothbrush in his hand. , while talking to Alice inarticulately.
Alice ignored him. She seemed to have always hated this 'temporary traveling companion' with low moral character.
Hughington said: "Hey, don't be angry. It was my fault for peeking at you in the shower yesterday. I always have this bad habit, that is, I can't control these curious eyes... Speaking of you She is the most beautiful princess I have ever seen."
Alice said: "Huh, have you seen many princesses?"
"You finally talked to me. Yesterday. Travel You haven't spoken to me since then." Hullington rinsed his mouth and said with a smile, "Did you know that, like your master, I started traveling around the world when I was very young, but he wasn't around where I went. There are many, and I rarely go to dangerous places. I also went to Cosilua four years ago and saw a princess in Cosilua. She was not as beautiful as you and had many freckles on her face."
"Ah, you mean Princess Sarah?"
"Do you know her?"
"Of course I do." Alice said: "She is five years older than me. The Demon Moon Empire has been here twice. She and I are good friends, and you are not allowed to speak ill of her."
Hughington smiled: "I didn't speak ill of her, but she is not as beautiful as you."< br>
Alice snorted. But even though she still looked angry, everyone could see the joyful smile on her face. Any woman likes to be praised, especially beautiful women, and this includes girls and princesses.
"Smiled." Hullington said: "Then you forgive me."
"Who has forgiven you." Alice said with a straight face again.
Hughington said: "How can we say that we are now companions? When traveling, which companion does not have some problems? Since we are companions, we should be more tolerant to each other, otherwise when we encounter danger How can we trust each other and fight side by side? Where's the fight?"
Alice hesitated for a while: "Okay, if you are right, I will forgive you this time."
Hughington smiled: "Wash up. That’s it, let’s go down and get something to eat and hit the road.”
There are no big hotels in the town. The three of them, Bing Zhixie, lived in a home-style hotel. Staying in this home-style hotel seemed very warm and comfortable, and it felt like home.
The eating place is in the large living room on the first floor. The breakfast is also a cake baked by the owner of the hotel, secret miso soup and an apple.
Perhaps due to the small number of tourists, apart from Bing Zhixie and the other three, there was only one fur trader who was traveling alone in the hotel.
The owner of the hotel is a kind old woman. Her husband died of illness last year. After her son married his wife, he moved to another country. The old woman was unwilling to leave the land where she was born and raised, so she relied on the owner of the hotel. I managed to survive on a meager income and stayed.
Bing Zhixie quickly finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth and said, "I'll go to the stable to get our six-pointed reindeer. After you finish eating, take your luggage and prepare to leave."
"Yes, Master." Alice responded happily and took a piece of warm cake from the plate.
Hughington said: "You seem to be in a good mood?"
Alice took a big bite of the cake and smiled: "It's a new day, of course you have to be happy."
"Yes."
Alice saw the old lady at the hotel knitting a sweater in front of the door: "Grandma, I have a question I have been wanting to ask you."
"Okay, you can ask."
Alice said: "Isn't the country of Guiniz rich in gold? It is said to have the third largest gold mine in the northern continent of the mainland. But I saw people in the town It seems that life is not very rich, and along the way I walked along and saw that people in several villages were living in poverty. ." Before the old woman could speak, the fur trader sitting at the other table laughed: "Huh, gold? It's just the king's personal wealth and has nothing to do with us common people."
"How can a king use so much gold?" Alice said.
The fur traders laughed and said with resentment: "In your eyes, gold is wealth, but in our eyes, gold is not something that brings a better life to our poor country, but brings disaster. And nightmares. Since the discovery of gold mines in our country, we ordinary people have not had a good day.”
Hullington joked: "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
"Why not!" The fur trader said angrily: "I think you are a foreigner. Let me tell you, now almost the people across the country look forward to it every day. There are other countries coming to attack us country, come and save us."
Seeing the angry expression of the fur trader, Alice was surprised: "How could this happen?"
The fur trader did not speak and sat angrily. There, I didn't eat anything.
The old lady at the hotel sighed: "The thing is like this. About fifty years ago, an amazing gold vein was discovered in our country. For a long time, our country has been suffering from special soil characteristics and poor supplies. As a result, the lives of us civilians were not very good. When gold mines were discovered, the whole country was very happy, thinking that good times would come. Moreover, the old king at that time also wanted to improve people's lives and did a lot. "
"But he was already very old at that time and died within a few years." The fur trader said: "After his son, the previous king, took over the throne, he completely changed. He only cared about his own enjoyment, built big palaces, bought He gave the most precious treasures in the world to his beloved concubine, but he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people. But that's okay, it's terrible. After his death, his son, the current king, was even more greedy and dissolute than he was. Not only did he collect all the mined gold mines for his own enjoyment, but he also sent prisoners from all over the country to mine gold mines. "
"It's normal to let prisoners serve as miners. I know that many countries do this," Alice said.
"Yes, the old king did this in the past." The fur trader said: "But it is not like this now. If the king does not govern the country, those ministers and local officials will do evil, exploit the people, and use them to treat others at every turn. You will be arrested and punished under various pretexts , Now we have not had a good day."
The old lady's expression also became sad and angry: "Little girl, there is a story, you will know what is going on."
Love. Liz was very interested when she heard the story.
The old woman put down the sweater in her hand: "The truth is, a child accidentally bitten his leg by an official's vicious dog. The child's father took the child to the house to argue and asked for medical expenses. Unexpectedly, the official not only did not pay compensation, but also asked for medical expenses. He also let the dog bite the child to death."
"Ah!" Alice was frightened: "How could he do such a thing?"
" It's not over yet. "The old woman continued: "When the child's father saw his son's tragic death, he killed the official's dog in anger. As a result, the official ordered the child's father to be arrested and sentenced him to death for murder. "
The fur trader said: "I have heard of this incident too, it seems to have happened last year."
Alice said: "Just because you killed a dog, you were sentenced to death for murder?"
"This... this can't be true, right?" Hullington couldn't believe it either.
The old lady said: "This story happened in our town. The official is the mayor of our town. The father of the child who was executed lives in the small house next to the church."
Hugh Both Linton and Alice opened their mouths. This thing sounded absolutely appalling.
Hughington said: "I have always heard that Guiniz's regime is dark, but I didn't expect it to be so dark."
"It's so abominable." Alice said angrily. : "Doesn't anyone care about this kind of thing?"
"Who cares? Who will take care of it?"
Alice thought for a while and said: "Shengyuan, why doesn't Shengyuan come out to stop this kind of thing and sanction this country?"
The fur trader sneered: "Just a few years ago, our country was rated as the main continent's northern community. It will be the most stable country with the lowest crime rate. Will Shengyuan sanction such a country?" He added: "The people of our country are looking forward to our neighboring countries to liberate us every day, even if we are willing to subjugate our country."
Alice was speechless after hearing this.
