Chapter 329 Abnormal Poverty Country
"Haha, we are finally arriving at the Maple Leaf Kingdom. Brother Sai'an, what standard do you think Joni Zondas will use to receive us two "good-hearted people" who came from afar? I think the standard for welcoming the king is not enough, At the very least, it would be considered courteous to have the king come to greet him in person.”
You don't need to guess, this is Rachel Ben, who has no sense of crisis at all, looking forward to his enjoyable (decadent) life.
After finishing the interrogation of Wynn's anticlimax, Ben Rachel and Punk ate the remaining half goat non-stop. Leaked, Ovacin would not really have the guts to come and fight.
But out of caution, Punk still chose to go to the Maple Leaf Kingdom as soon as possible to reunite with Joni-Zodas. After all, the strength of Aowakin-Acid Throat is indeed a bit beyond the specification. On the road, he was laughing and looking forward to the welcome ceremony of the Maple Leaf Kingdom just because he hadn't seen the powerful fighting power of the black dragon. If it wasn't him but the fat old man who fought with Aowakin in Wynn's spiritual space , he might run faster than himself—of course, he fled back to Gray Rain Country.
Along the way, Punk, who was in a bad mood, didn't say much, only Ben Rachel was talking to himself, the obscene king must send some princesses over, whether he should accept it or accept it, but it's okay, maybe he felt it Punk's nervousness means that Ben Rachel is not clamoring for a trip.
Without all kinds of messy delays, the speed of the two master-level powerhouses was fast enough, flying over two mountains in a row, and the two mages finally arrived at the Maple Leaf Kingdom in the evening.
But Ben Rachel's good mood stopped after arriving at the Maple Leaf Kingdom.
After entering the first town of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, both Punk and Ben Rachel began to feel surprised when they saw the sight in front of them.
What unfolded in front of the eyes of the two foreign mages was a "magnificent" scene. Of course, this "spectacular" was a very tragic "spectacular".
I saw that in such a small-scale town, all the buildings showed a sense of vicissitudes of life in disrepair. It was obvious that no one repaired the damaged houses due to the war, and the dilapidated houses were crumbling. It was as simple as reinforcing it with wooden boards. The weeds in the farmland were mixed with sparse wheat and grew wildly but no one took care of it. There were even dried corpses on the street being eaten by hungry wild dogs.
The town is not a deserted town, because Punk and Ben Rachel can perceive that there are ordinary people with low vitality curled up in the corners of many "dangerous houses" in the town. Although the number of these people is not large, there are thousands of them. However, most of these people are frail, old, weak, and sick, and there are not many young adults in the entire town.
"This... is this the Maple Leaf Kingdom? It has only been so many years, how did the Maple Leaf Kingdom become like this?"
Different from punk's calm and calm, Ben Rachel was very surprised to see a town that was located in a relatively fertile location turned into such a lifeless refugee camp.
Different from Punk who just arrived, as a master mage who was active in the area of the Hoth Mountains and the Sea of Red Sands a long time ago, Ben Rachel has seen the prosperity of the Maple Leaf Kingdom. Years ago, Ben Rachel had made a deal with the founding emperor of the Maple Leaf Kingdom (an official warrior). At that time, the Maple Leaf Kingdom that Ben Rachel saw had elegant buildings, hardworking and simple poor people, and large tracts of land. High-quality farmland rich in Ququ wheat.
However, Ben Rachel, who lost a lot of money later, concentrated his remaining investment in Gray Rain Country, and he didn't pay much attention to the situation in the Howth Mountains. During this period, the fat old man only knew that the Maple Leaf Kingdom was occupied by a black dragon. Now that he came to this once-prosperous country again and saw that the originally thriving town had turned into a dilapidated refugee camp, Ben Rachel was naturally very surprised.
But Punk didn't understand Ben Rachel's surprise. He just felt that the old man was going to be sentimental again. Punk, who found it troublesome, took the lead and entered from the gate of the town:
"What's so surprising? It's normal for two countries to starve and die everywhere after a war. Why do you make such a fuss about this? It's just a trivial matter"!
"No, no, the war between the Dragon Roar Kingdom and the Maple Leaf Kingdom is more at the level of the strong, and logically speaking, it shouldn't have such a big impact on ordinary people... But you are right, these things are very important We are all indifferent... small things..."
Intellectually, Ben Rachel agrees with Punk's words that have no feelings for punk, but after all, this fat old man is different from "Netheril inheritors" like punk. Although he said that he has nothing to do with him, but Ben Rachel, who was following Punk, still couldn't help casting sympathetic glances at a few skinny children curled up in a corner.
"It's really troublesome. I didn't realize that this fat old man is actually a kind-hearted idiot."
Seeing Ben Rachel's "stupid" sympathy, and recalling Ben Rachel's kind sympathy and love for children, it is not difficult for punks to know that Ben Rachel, a mage, and his own interests are paramount, depending on emotion There is an essential difference between casters with morality as dust.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you like children, as long as they don't hinder me."
Regarding Ben Rachel's somewhat contradictory character, although Punk feels that this old guy is a bit of a bitch and has a sense of disobedience, but for Punk, his teammate's "hobbies" don't matter as long as they don't hinder his own interests. .
But walking all the way on the dusty land of the small town, recalling the grand scene of the Maple Leaf Kingdom described by Ben Rachel, Punk really felt a little curious--Ben Rachel was right, the battle of the high-end powerhouse was extremely restrained It will not cause such a great damage to the world of ordinary people, and even if the war between the Maple Leaf Kingdom and the Dragon Roar Kingdom becomes fierce, the disaster of the war should befall both sides at the same time. The poor in the Maple Leaf Kingdom can't even afford black bread if they can eat meat every meal.
But in fact, even though there is only a distance between two mountains, the gap between the Maple Leaf Kingdom and the Dragon Roar Kingdom is still unreasonably large. Compared with the harvested farmland of the Dragon Roar Kingdom, the soil fertility of the Maple Leaf Kingdom is not low. , but their fields were left infested with weeds.
"This is too far behind the Dragon Roar Kingdom. It seems that there is something wrong with the Maple Leaf Kingdom."
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, rubbing his clean chin, Punk looked playfully at the corner where a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people were sitting.
