I Can Change The Rules

The beggars got up in a panic and ran staggeringly in all directions.

Lin En turned his head and looked at Lilia, who was in a state of despair, and said, "You think you are helping them, but they don't think so!"

Lilia covered her forehead, her long blond hair drooped, and said:

"I am the saint of the Holy See, I didn't know that my people would become like this outside of Lionheart City.

Lin En shook his head and said: "The Holy Mother also needs to be divided into occasions, let's go! Let's find a place to settle down first."

He dragged the distraught Lilia towards the hotel in the city center.

【Xilin Hotel】.

Lin En pulled Lilia to the front of the hostel, opened the door and walked in.

After seeing the scene inside, both of them stopped.

Resplendent storefronts, luxurious decorations, red carpets on the ground, people sitting on the tables and chairs wearing expensive clothes at first glance, holding red wine in their hands.

Lilia was stunned.

The inside was completely different from the dilapidated scenery they saw just now, as if they were two different worlds.

Lin En shook his head.

The gap between rich and poor.

That's the only word he can use to describe this place.

Lilia gritted her teeth and said, "I can't imagine!"

Lin En pulled her to the counter and said, "There are two guest rooms, we will probably stay here for a while."

The steward of the hotel looked at Lin En and Lilia carefully, and he could tell at a glance that although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, their temperament and good looks proved that they were not just ordinary people.

The steward immediately smiled and said, "Aren't you two locals?"

Lin En said: "We are from Lionheart City."

The steward immediately became more respectful, and said with a pinched smile: "It turns out that you are a distinguished guest from the capital, welcome to our Misty City [I will arrange a room for you immediately]

Lilia said awkwardly: "Lin En, I..." She realized that she was already penniless.

Lin En shook his head and said, "Okay, don't do those stupid things again."

He took out a bag of gold coins and threw it on the counter, and the steward immediately showed a brighter smile.

Lin En looked up at the steward, and said deeply, "I want to know, what's going on with those beggars outside? Isn't Misty City the number one city in the south of the human race?"

The steward stared at the gold coin in Lin En's hand, swallowed and said:

"The most important city of the human race? That was more than ten years ago. Since the conflict between the elves in the south and us broke out, the economy of the entire south has already collapsed. All the beggars outside have escaped from cities further south. The civilians, they can't survive, they want to come to Misty City to survive, but now it's the same no matter where they go!"

Lin En threw him a gold coin, frowned and said:

"Clash of the elves? People in the capital don't know!"

The steward smiled and said, "How can this kind of thing be reported to the capital? Besides, the people in the capital only care about taxation. As long as a fixed share is handed over every year, they won't care about anything."

The steward tossed the gold coins and said, "The empire needs taxes, and the elf empire in the south also needs taxes. We supply the two empires. The high-level can only barely maintain this balance by continuously increasing the taxes on the common people. Hey, without us, The Elf Empire has already come to fight!"

Lilia frowned instantly, looked at him angrily, and said, "You still pay taxes to the Elven Empire?!"

The steward looked at her strangely, and said, "Of course, haven't you guys heard of the "Peace Treaty"? Five years ago, the Elven Empire had almost reached our Misty City. Thanks to the wise city lord who signed the treaty, We can live in peace until now!"

Seeing Lilia's complexion getting worse and worse, Lin En said expressionlessly:

"Okay, is the room ready?"

The steward immediately led them up to the second floor, and came to a luxurious guest room. With a mysterious smile on his face, he said:

"You two, I'm really sorry. Recently, because of the war in the south, many nobles have brought their property to our Misty City. The guest rooms are already full, and only this one is left."

Lin En said blankly: "Two rooms."

The steward was taken aback, and said strangely: "This..... has indeed been..."

"Two rooms." Lin En said lightly.

The steward smiled tremblingly: "Okay, I'll check to see if there are any vacant guest rooms. Wait a moment, both of you."

The steward trotted all the way and disappeared around the corner.

Lilia clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "If I hadn't come here, I would never have believed that our Violet Empire has become like this!"

Looking at the barren scene outside the window, Lin En remembered the jihad mentioned by Thassarian.

If you haven't come to the border, you will never know what the Terran Empire has become.

Lin En narrowed his eyes. If the general territory of the human empire is like this, the empire's strength may be exhausted.

Two minutes later, the steward ran over, with embarrassment on his face, and said:

"Both of you, this... The guest room is really full. A few nobles who came from the south just now reserved all the remaining rooms... Indeed, only this one is left! "

Before Lin En said anything, Lilia had already opened the door and walked in, saying:

"Then this room is fine."

Lin En shook his head, since Lilia didn't care, he couldn't say anything.

The room is not very big, but it has everything (for money) inside, especially the big bed, which is very spacious even for three people.

"Lin En." Lilia leaned against the window, turned to look at him, and said:

"I'm going to the church in Misty City tomorrow, hoping to get some information about demons, are you going?"

Lin En sat on the chair and took out the map from his arms.

This map is the distribution point of the Necromancer intelligence agency that Thassarian gave him before he left.

The nearest information point is in Misty City.

"You go." Lin En said seriously: "Tomorrow I will go around and learn about the situation in this city.

Lilia nodded, turned around and looked at the big bed, and then at Lin En who was sitting at the table and looking at the map seriously, her heart beating slowly increased.

"Lin En......" Lilia lowered her head and said, "I want to... change my clothes..."

...B....
