Chapter 114 Disappointed Knight Commander
"How about it, don't those mobs have a lot of oil and water?"
The potbellied Zweig-Koala sat on a luxurious leather chair. He gently shook the red wine with ice cubes in the glass. The butler of the sharp-billed monkey cheeks.
"My lord is really astute. You can see the cunning of those untouchables at a glance. You can't hide anything from you. Those refugees really have a lot of money in their hands. Now they finally hand it over for bread."
Hearing the butler's compliment, Zweig laughed happily, causing the chair under his buttocks to creak.
"Listen up, old Cora, those poor people seem to be poor, but they are all the same as Ququmai. As long as you squeeze them hard, you can always squeeze out oil and water, hahaha"!
"Master is really wise, but old Kela can never say such philosophical words."
Seeing that his master was in a good mood, the chicken thief's butler rushed to express a flattery, and all kinds of compliments gushed out.
"However, we still have so much hoarded food in our warehouses, and those poor ghosts have no money. What should we do next?"
Thinking of the grain piled up in the warehouse, even the cunning housekeeper was a little confused. The excess grain was the product of last year's bumper harvest, but the nobles did not hide the existence of this grain in order to drive up the price. The outbreak of such a plague caused the city of Dorez to be cut off from the other territories.
Seeing that 500,000 khakis (weight unit, equal to about half a catty) are about to rot at the warehouse level, and there is nowhere to sell them except the Minohorn Chamber of Commerce bought some, the nobles began to put pressure on the business agent Zweig, Ask him to give you an explanation.
Zweig also stopped smiling, and put down the red wine in his hand. The food was the common property of nearly half of the nobles in Doraiz City. In order to gain benefits, Zweig paid a lot of money to recommend his family as an agent to sell food, but Because of the current situation, there is nowhere to sell food, which makes it difficult for Zweig, who is under a lot of pressure! Once those nobles decided to take back the food and go it alone, wouldn't the Koala family lose everything?
"Well, since those poor ghosts have no money to buy food, don't they have wives and children, wouldn't it be good to let them exchange these "properties" for food?"
Zweig took a look, and suddenly thought of such a vicious method. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. It could not only reduce the number of "burdens", but also obtain some slaves, and gain the favor of other nobles. It serves multiple purposes.
"But, sir, there is no need for so many slaves in the city now, and the other territories are no longer accepting any creatures from the city of Dorez?"
Old Clark spread his hands, pointing out the problem to Zweig helplessly and unwillingly.
"This is indeed a trouble...".
Zweig thought about the solution in his heart, and at the same time downed all the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
At this time, he immediately thought of a "business partner" whom he had worked together with, but now he was afraid to avoid. After Zweig, who was blinded by greed, thought carefully, he still greedily said:
"Don't worry, I'm a benevolent nobleman, and those "lucky" pariahs will have a good home."
In the end, Zwei seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, and then resumed the cruel smile of a successful plot, grinned his big jagged teeth, and recalled with a strange smile.
Zweig, whose thoughts had already flown to the ulterior path, didn't hear the scream of the maid beside him being squeezed by the vigorous palm, let alone the faint trace of joy that flashed in old Cora's eyes.
------Dividing line--------
Unlike the aristocrats who are complacent and happy after harvesting the last bit of property from the poor, Caskasser now only feels that his own world is so dark, dirty, cold and ruthless.
After Kaiskaser organized the refugees to set up the camp, he immediately rushed to the castle to meet Golat. Before he entered the castle, he still fantasized that his lord would be merciful for the people and withdraw Orders banning refugees from entering the city.
But his lord was making out with his concubines and refused to summon Caskather at all.
The disappointed knight commander had no choice but to seek help from the church, the god he had always believed in. He hoped that the church of Heironeous, the god of knights, would lend a helping hand to the starving poor outside the city, and at least persuade the nobles to provide relief for free. Some food and medicine.
But the priest of the Heironeous Church clearly told Caskasser that Heironeous is a kind and lawful god, so as believers, they can send priests and apprentices to help refugees, but they have no right to dry up the "legal" wishes of nobles .
After expressing his gratitude to the pastor of the Heironeous Church in desperation, Caskasser found another way. He led his personal signal overnight to call on the commoners of Doraiz City to donate supplies, and called on every influential merchant and nobleman to jointly express their views and petition the lord. .
But the passionate Kaiskaser was once again disappointed. Many people in Dorez, who were bewitched by the nobles, completely forgot the merits of this knight commander, and also forgot that the refugees outside were their close compatriots a week ago. They all spurned Kaiskaser angrily, resenting him for "returning" the disaster to the city of Dorez.
And the few kind people have no other choice but to pray.
Until this moment, almost all the people hiding behind the walls of Doraez still firmly believe that when the "garbage" infected by the plague dies, not only will they be unscathed, but they will even be able to receive the property of those dead people. Never thought about the pain and despair of those refugees.
Seeing such a scene, Caskaser was finally disappointed, and he also understood why the nobles and nobles who had been against him all the time did not impose any obstacles this time.
Because they know that their actions are doomed to be described in only four words from the beginning to the end-futile!
"I guess in the eyes of those guys, I'm just an idiot clown!"
Caskasser sadly found a hotel that was still thriving. The knight commander, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, bought a large box of high-concentration ale for the first time. Let the alcohol paralyze my brain...and the heart full of guilt for the refugees outside the city.
"Why, why is this happening? Isn't it not just those nobles, but even ordinary people are devils crawling out of hell?"
The drunk Kaiskaser lay on the table like a child, weeping bitterly, big drops of tears fell on the golden armor, and the mournful cries of those refugees when they were separated from each other appeared in his mind. Those starving children adored their gazes, and those teenagers and girls looked forward to their gazes when they went to fight for relief.
"Sure enough, I'm just a useless knight, destined to accomplish nothing in this world full of evil spirits!"
Kaiskaser dejectedly talked to his distorted reflection in the wine bottle, his own face in the reflection was blurred and distorted, blurred in the flickering candlelight.
"No, no, young man, you are too extreme"!
When Kaiskaser was almost completely desperate, a white palm lightly patted his shoulder, a gentle vindictiveness instantly dispelled the drunkenness in Kaiskaser's body, and the kindness full of care and warmth seemed to turn into substance Generally flowing through the heart, this kind of sincere kindness is exactly what Keskaser is looking forward to... the long-lost warmth.
