Chapter 562 Arthur: Am I Sinister and Hypocritical?

The old town of Sullos is more shabby and narrow than imagined.

The uneven roofs and bumpy roads were, on the whole, more than twice as bad as Mule Street in the Tudor District. At least on Mule Street, Arthur could still feel a bit of dignity.

And in the old town?

All streets have the same feeling——

Ruined!

It was a sense of desolation, of having experienced glory, then being completely lonely, and then being smashed to pieces in a real sense.

It can even be said that...

Shattered!

Before the start of the Seven Years' War, the old city of Nanlos was the richest area outside the Shire District, and it also had the largest population.

But with the beginning of the Seven Years' War, a large number of men in the old city were transferred, and everything changed.

Especially after the old Earl of Nanlos lost on the battlefield and the old city had to mobilize a large number of men again, the decline became unstoppable.

During those seven years, at least two men from every house in Old South Los Los Angeles went to war.

Sometimes the whole family would go to the battlefield together.

And after the war, who can return to Nanlos?

Less than 30%.

Therefore, in order to maintain the prosperity of Nanlos in the past, the old earl began to accept a large number of people who were homeless after the war.

This is a last resort.

But it is also something that is definitely criticized.

The influx of a large number of outsiders naturally caused conflicts with the indigenous people.

This kind of conflict is particularly common in old towns where there is a shortage of men.

To this end, the old count established a new city.

The emergence of new urban areas was originally intended to accommodate outsiders, but better living conditions also attracted people from the old urban areas.

Then, the Duo District full of factories appeared.

The appeal is greater there.

As a result, the old city has been drained of its last bit of vitality.

Except for the elderly, the people who stay in the old city are helpless families and people in special circumstances.

Although it was slightly better than other places, the dull feeling made Malinda frown.

“I was here during this year’s ‘celebration of summer’.

At that time, there was far more vitality than it is now. "

the woman said.

"It's winter. It's so cold that all the vitality is hidden."

Arthur said this and stood up his cane.

Malinda saw Arthur's posture and knew what Arthur wanted to do.

Cane positioning!

When you get lost, you can set up your own walking stick!

The head of the staff will guide you in the direction you want!

Many novice adventure enthusiasts like to do this in South Los Angeles and Inner Bay.

And the end result?

Those who have money and power can continue their own adventure life.

Those without money and power became the purest fertilizer, nourishing nature and the people who informed them of the benefits of exploration.

Of course, the existence of survivorship bias has actually made the cane positioning method somewhat popular.

Lucky people are worthy of envy, right?

However, this does not include Malinda.

Looking at Arthur's appearance, the lady couldn't help but cover her forehead and look very regretful.

"Regret?

Jie Jie Jie, it’s too late! "

Arthur looked at Malinda and smiled strangely, then released his palm.

As the palm of the hand was released, the cane engraved with Pendragon's cat head fell straight in one direction - of course, not all of it fell.

When the cane was about to completely touch the ground, Arthur took hold of the cane.

He didn't want his cane to roll down into the sewage.

Malinda glanced.

"You will greatly reduce the 'accuracy rate'!"

The lady said and stepped forward.

"'Accuracy'?

Do you really believe that kind of thing?

Not being 100% accurate, even 99%, is inaccurate - it's like justice delayed. "

Arthur shrugged and followed.

“Justice is late, can it still be called justice?

If justice can be delayed, then revenge is justified.

Tooth for tooth, eye for eye!

Blood debt must be paid with blood! "

Malinda frowned, then snorted coldly.

Obviously, given this lady’s character, she is destined not to agree with this statement.

And Arthur?

Applause gently from the sidelines.

However, he said it in his mouth.

"you are wrong."

"Um?"

Malinda looked at Arthur, curiosity in her eyes.

Based on her understanding of Arthur, she naturally knew that Arthur was not a 'nice' person. If others provoked him, she would not even think about it if she wanted to live peacefully.

Therefore, Malinda was looking forward to Arthur's opinion.

“Blood debt must be paid with blood!

And, to--

Cut off the roots! "

Arthur said with a smile.

Malinda's blue eyes shone brightly, and she agreed with Arthur's statement. Of course, she agreed with her heart, but actually?

The lady pretended to be disdainful and asked directly.

“Oh, it’s easy to say it’s easy to say it’s true, but it’s very difficult to do it.

The simplest thing is, what do you do when you face a child? "

"It's easy, give him a knife and a piece of candy."

Arthur laughed.

Knife and sugar?

Even with Malinda's intelligence, she didn't come back to her senses for a while.

Arthur continued to speak——

"Giving him a knife and candy means letting him choose.

He chose the knife, which proves that he has the will to kill, and he must not be allowed to stay!

He chose candy, which proves that he is cunning, and he must not be allowed to stay!

If he chooses both, it proves that he is extremely greedy, and he must not be allowed to stay!

If he chooses neither, it proves that he is a traitor, and he must not be allowed to stay!"

Marynda was stunned.

Then, the lady looked at Arthur and gave her evaluation.

"Kill if you want to, and find so many excuses.

You are such a sinister and hypocritical guy!"

Arthur still smiled at this.

"Am I sinister and hypocritical?

If I am sinister, I will pretend to leave, come back in disguise, and cry out loudly as soon as I enter the door, 'Too late! Too late! I am still one step late!'

Then, I pretend to be shocked to find him, and I am ecstatic to take him away.

If he has brothers and sisters, they will definitely come out from the secret room and secret passage that I don't know about.

At that time, I will deal with them all.

Then?

Of course, I will come back in disguise again, and collect the body of my friend with extreme sadness, and bury him in peace, to see if there are any fish that have escaped the net."

It was obviously evening, but the dim light shining on Arthur's smiling face was chilling.

The coachman who had just sent Arthur and Melinda here originally planned to take them back, but after hearing Arthur's words, he turned the car around without thinking, raised the whip, and ran straight away.

The coachman was scared.

It must be the kind of nightmare.

But Melinda was thinking seriously.

Then, he nodded in approval.

"Good idea!"

Melinda said, and then asked curiously -

"What if it's hypocrisy?"
