Don't call me evil god

Chapter 733: Heading for the Dawn (Part )

After finishing the conversation with Carl, Fradin consulted several other groups of passengers on the bus.

Then a reasonable result was obtained.

Many of the passengers were in similar situations to Carl.

From the Marquisate of Nochima, or the County of Kalezi;
Bad luck, encountered some accidents and troubles.

Either a family member is sick, or someone is injured at work, or there may be disputes in life, or something worse.

In short, after hearing about the changes in Ceylon, these people made similar decisions:
move place!

The border noble territories in the east of the three kingdoms used to belong to the eldest brother, don't laugh at the second brother, and they were basically in the same boat.

The economic structure is fragile and the agricultural foundation is poor.

Although Ceylon Territory has opened up a trade route to sell monster materials to Stone Castle with the help of the Countess, those who can do this are all professionals. The worst one has to be a level 1 warrior who knows how to use anger and has mastered one or two combat skills.

Ordinary people can at most enjoy the dividends brought by this business but cannot get direct help from it.

Most of the ordinary people living in these places can only earn a few gold coins after working hard all year round, and if they encounter any trouble, they may have to pay for it.

What if I don't have money?
Borrow money!

Carl's description resonated with many people in the car.

Another "old man" who was about 40 years old and talked to Fradin later told Fradin about their lives in the past few years:

"At the end of the year, I will ask the noble lord to lend me some money to get through the winter, and at the same time, I will pay off the old debt that I didn't pay off last year."

"I will borrow more money next year, and use the new debt to pay off the old debt, and we will just make do with our lives."

"The Baron is kindhearted. He won't keep asking for debts like those dirty goblins who are sucking our blood out of us. He will even take the initiative to suggest ways to reduce our debts."

"For example, I could help him repair and renovate the manor, or help him with farm work during the busy farming season, or go up to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and fruits for him."

In his 40s, which is considered middle-aged in the royal capital. For example, Miranda's father is also in his 40s this year.

But the face of this "old man" seems to be full of traces left by the erosion of time.

His face was covered with wrinkles, his skin was dry and yellow, his palms were withered, and he looked like half of his body was buried in the ground.

When he first spoke to this man, Fradin thought he was a centenarian.

As a result, when Fradin heard the other party say that he had just turned 40 years old, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

This was also something he had never seen or even heard of in the royal capital.

When he first arrived in Ceylon City by airship, he found everything interesting, especially the new things that emerged under the influence of the Church of Knowledge. To Fradin, they felt that they were even superior and advanced than the royal capital.

Now, seeing the other side of the border, or the real side, Prince Fradin began to truly understand why his father Kenreddin had always been thinking about disciplining the nobles in the royal capital.

The gap between the West and the East is too big.

This is especially evident among ordinary people.

……

While Prince Fradin was silent, a shout came from outside the carriage.

It's a strong male voice.

"Passengers on the bus, if you haven't sat down yet, please find a place to sit down quickly. It's best to lean on something behind you to be careful not to fall!"

"It's the exact time, we're about to set off! I'm Ford, the driver of this car, number 27!"

"The destination of this trip - the South Gate of Dawn City!!!"

Then, Pete and Gale could clearly feel that the nearby arcane energy began to become active.

This is a phenomenon that is only caused by magic being released in the surroundings.

There was a slight vibration in the car.

Then there was the creaking sound of wheels turning.

The sound gradually changes from dull to light and smooth, accompanied by the continuous sound of a bronze bell.

There was a distinct feeling of being pushed on the back, and the people in the car couldn't help but lean back.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"The charging output has been increased to the third gear acceleration mode! Woohoo!"

"Everyone, we are about to move at full speed!!!"

This new type of carriage, a specialty of Ceylon, still requires the driver to sit on a small wooden platform extending from the front of the entire carriage. The open-air structure ensures that the driver can clearly determine the road conditions to avoid any accidents.

As a result, the people in the carriage could only hear the driver's voice and the sound of the small bronze bell that he shook and struck hard.

There are several small pieces of transparent glass inlaid on the walls on both sides of the carriage, through which people can only barely see the scenery outside.

Pete cast his eyes over curiously.

This horseless carriage was actually running briskly, slowly driving along the exit of the backyard of the Worry-Free Travel Carriage House onto the spacious streets of Ceylon City, and then heading north out of the city.

The houses and pedestrians along the street were quickly left behind.

obviously.

The new horse-drawn carriages were nothing new to the locals of Ceylon City. People were not very curious about the vehicles passing by on the road. When they heard the "clang clang" sound of the small bronze bells from afar, they would consciously walk on both sides of the street to make room for the new horse-drawn carriages.

The carriage was moving faster than Pete had expected.

The thrust generated by the magic is strong enough and very stable. Combined with the effects of shock absorption and slow-fall magic, the vehicle will not be shaken by the ups and downs of the road even after accelerating to a certain level.

It took only a dozen minutes to cross half of Ceylon City, and the carriage rushed out of the city gate with a roar.

An empty shed appeared in Pete's sight.

He exchanged glances with Gale, who had also noticed this, and they both laughed in tacit understanding.

It was a former refugee camp outside Ceylon.

A few months ago, when they just returned to Ceylon, the refugee camp was still overcrowded. Some ordinary people were forced to become refugees due to the impact of their lives and could only struggle to survive in the refugee camp.

At that time, Miranda was shocked by the terrible situation at the border, and couldn't even understand why the nobles and the Church of Radiance could not rescue these refugees.

Later they found the answer through their own efforts.

It's not that I can't, but I don't want to.

Greedy, selfish and arrogant Bishop Henry Tran deliberately allowed the poor refugees to remain in this state of difficulty in getting out of poverty and barely being able to fill their stomachs for his own benefit. In this way, he could continue to use the relief activities of the Glowing God Cult to build his own reputation and make money.

The white-haired designer Ray Wayne even became an innocent victim of this struggle. If it weren't for the arrival of the seekers of knowledge, he might still be sinking in the refugee slums, unable to extricate himself.

Now, the situation is very different.

The refugee issue has finally been properly resolved.
