My name is Ren

Chapter 605
Prosperous status does not necessarily mean that there is no poverty, the more prosperous the place, the more dirty things exist behind the prosperity.

As a hub city in the north and the central part, Sharna City, the prosperity of the three districts also caused the decline of one district.

From entering the XC area, the number of half-orcs on the street increased significantly, and the corresponding orcs and humans were hard to see.There were scenes of sewage flowing everywhere, and half-orcs whose ragged clothes could not cover their bodies stood numbly or squatted on both sides of the street.They are like a cheap commodity, waiting for an employer to come, and then take them out to work for a salary that cannot support their families, and then walk back on their own.

Half-orcs can also reproduce, and the success rate of reproduction is very high.

The family structure of half-orcs is relatively simple, and there are often only two generations of parents and children.Once someone enters old age from middle age and cannot support himself through labor, the old half-orc will be expelled by family members, leave the shelter of the family, and eventually starve to death on the street because he cannot work.This is not cruelty to anyone, but the cruelty of reality makes the half-orcs have to abandon the elderly population who have no labor force to ensure the continuation of the family and children.

If this is considered cruel, then what Ren saw was even more cruel.

A pale-faced female half-orc submerged a baby who seemed to have not been born for a long time in the water tank, and watched the half-orc baby numbly and indifferently from violent struggle to no movement at all.She drowned her own child with her own hands, but from her expressions and actions, she couldn't find a single bit of sadness.Even the orcs around didn't seem to pay much attention to the mother and child.

The female half-orc scooped up the baby that had lost its breath of life from the water tank, put it on a grass mat with obvious rough craftsmanship, rolled it up casually, tied both ends, and threw it into the rubbish dump on the side of the road.The wild dogs, who couldn't wait for a long time, had red eyes and shook their heads. After the woman left, they quickly ran to the garbage dump, grabbed the small straw bag, and burrowed into the alley on the side.

Several wild dogs even bit each other for this, and a black dog who was obviously more majestic than the other wild dogs got this sumptuous dinner, and it would not be hungry again in the next week.

A half-orc family can often only afford a maximum of two people without labor. However, in this class with no birth control measures and no obvious entertainment activities, almost every family has to face such a situation of overproduction.It wasn't that they deliberately gave birth to their children and then killed them, but that many half-orcs didn't get enough nutrition all year round, and they didn't realize that they had children until they were six or seven months pregnant.

Without sufficient knowledge of hygiene and physiology, coupled with poverty, menstruation is not something that every female half-orc who is suitable for childbearing age has. Many female half-orcs only come once or twice a year.

By the time they found out, it was too late. In order to avoid killing the baby in the stomach and dragging the mother, basically the pregnant female half-orcs would choose to give birth to the children and then drown them.

This is the world of half-orcs, and this is also the ruthless oppression and exploitation of Chiguoguo behind Byron's prosperous age. As the cornerstone of society, the half-orc group can't even eat, but they still want to continue to contribute to the country.

Of course, not all half-orcs lived such a fiery life. In the empire, there were also half-orc rich men, half-orc officials, and half-orc nobles.But once these half-orcs have broken away from the lowest status, they are no longer half-orcs.No matter what you call them, they are always not half-orcs, let alone do anything for half-orcs. On the contrary, they will also join the army of exploiting half-orcs and become glorious and great exploiters and oppressors!
self-abasement!

"Sir, are you looking for a job?" A short half-orc who looked like he couldn't tell his age came up. The reason why he couldn't tell his age was because the brown hair around his face was really It's a bit long and dirty, but his skin is relatively tight, and it should be a young man.The young half-orc raised his arms to show his muscles, "I am only 17 years old, very strong, and I am not afraid of being tired or dangerous. I only need to give me five loaves of bread for a day's work!"

The bread in his mouth was held in Baturu's arms, about the thickness of an adult's arm, a foot long, whole wheat black bread.There are some other things in this kind of bread, which are specially sold to the poor. Before eating, it needs to be heated with fire or dipped in a little hot soup, otherwise it may break a few teeth.One piece of bread like this is enough for a half-orc family for one day. If one day's work can get five days' food, then this is an extremely cost-effective deal.

Ren shook his head, and the young half-orc squatted down on the side of the road with a disappointed expression on his face, and the other half-orcs with burning expectations in their eyes also became a little frustrated.

Ren likes this place. The more desperate a person is, the more he can understand the preciousness of hope.It's like having a piece of black bread in your hand. When you face those rich businessmen, they don't even give you a second look.But if you're up against a poor half-orc, he'll do anything for you, and will remember your boon to him.

The House of Hope is located in this huge shantytown in the west of the city.

Baturu went home and ran back after hiding all the bread. Under his leadership, Ren finally met the chief manager of the Home of Hope in Sharna City, a female half-orc.

It's hard to imagine that the director of such a closed and radical organization is a woman. The femininity of women doesn't seem to have much to do with this theme.But the facts always make people feel that their brains are not enough, and the manager is a woman.

"Hello, respected guest." The woman named Lulu was very polite, but also cautious and restrained. Ren was the first non-orc to come here.All firsts are often doubtful and intimidating until the final value is determined.Like the first person to eat crab, the first person to eat eggplant, and the first person to risk his life to eat tomato.

Ren, is the first human to come to the half-orc race!

"I'm not from Byron, I'm from Desi, so in my eyes, we are basically equal.", Ren's first sentence made Lulu a little shocked, a little relieved, and a little bit panic.

I am used to being treated as the lowest humanoid race by orcs and humans. Suddenly someone said that we are all roughly equal. That kind of shock and recognition is enough to surprise Lulu to fear.The more Ren said that, the more wary her face became.She didn't want to hurt anyone, but she didn't want to be hurt either.

Ren looked around and couldn't find even a place to sit, so he had to stand.In fact, there are too many places to sit, such as the ground.Half-orcs rarely buy luxury items like furniture, and probably only half-orcs living in super big cities have the money and ability to buy or make these things.In Sharna, all orcs basically sit on the ground, and sleep on a pile of rags and straw.

As for the house... look up at the simple shed with air leakage on all sides, this is their home.

Ren didn't intend to have a deeper contact with Lulu, he directly stated his purpose, "After I came, I saw the miserable living environment and conditions of the half-orc brothers and sisters, and I sincerely feel your grief and despair. , so I intend to assist you, in addition to making your life better, I also hope that you can stand up."

"I want to meet your leader, the No. [-] person in Hope House."

Although Lulu understood the meaning of every word Ryan said, she couldn't understand it when they were connected together.She thought for a while before carefully asking: "You mean, you want to see our president and plan to give us something?"

"Yes!"

A short but powerful syllable brought joy to Lulu's face. Her brows trembled slightly, and she continued to ask, "Please forgive my rudeness. May I ask, what do you plan to give us?"

"Gold coins!" A special smile appeared on Ren's face, "There is still hope!"

Someone is willing to give half-orcs gold coins. Of course, this is not the first time. In the history of half-orcs being oppressed, there have been many people who hoped to use this group to do something.For example, the goats, the king of the goats, Kolmokin, thought about pulling the half-orcs to rebel, but unfortunately his plan failed.This race with extremely low self-esteem seems to be unable to raise even a trace of fighting spirit, and Kolmerkin's actions undoubtedly made the situation of the half-orcs even worse.

A group of untouchables actually want to rebel?

Regardless of whether they have this idea or not, and whether they really put it into action, their living conditions are even worse.

As if he felt that saying this was not enough to attract Lulu's attention, Ren added, "Every month, I will give [-] gold coins to the Home of Hope. If you can do what I want, this number will increase." Continuous growth, up to ten times or even dozens of times."

Lulu gasped, she couldn't imagine how fifty thousand gold coins a month would affect the millions of Orcs in the Byron Empire.

But it is undeniable that this is definitely a good influence, so that it can be said that the [-] gold coins are enough to change the status quo of the entire Orc collective!

For such a big matter, she can't be the master at all, so she can only contact the president of Hope House immediately.
