Mystique:Demon Hunter

Chapter 22 No Title

As Gawain walked in the corridor of the cabin, his thoughts began to wander.

Of course he knew that a significant increase in grain production would have an impact on all aspects.

More grain production will definitely lower the price of grain, thus liberating more people from the land.

Most of the surplus labor liberated from the land will enter factories, which will stimulate factories to expand production and the number of workers will also greatly increase.

In the original work, why are the workers in Backlund’s East District subjected to unbridled oppression?

One of the main reasons is that their number is too small, their voices are not loud enough, and their power is not strong enough.

They are powerless in front of the big aristocrats and big capitalists. The Loen police will not care about their life or death, because the wages of these policemen are not paid by them.

If the police of the Kingdom of Loen help them, there will be no profit at all, and they will not get any benefits.

Therefore, it is difficult for these people in the East District to live a simple life. They are weak and ignorant, and most of them cannot even live past the age of thirty.

Therefore, they were unable to provide the gods with a solid enough anchor, so the church would not make great efforts to save them, not to mention that it would be difficult for the church to intervene in the affairs of the kingdom.

Their country has abandoned them, and the righteous gods will not pay attention to them, so what can they do?

Then they can only use their weak bodies to try to earn a meager income, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

These people are like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, even worse than pigs. At least the pigs can still eat enough before they die.

One by one, they entered the millstone made of flesh and blood in the East District, and were captured by Qiao San, a bastard, to repair the tomb. After the repairs, they would be silenced. At the same time, they would be used by the Aurora Society and the Witch to squeeze out their pain and despair.

Attracting the evil god to come.

Even after the Backlund Great Smog Incident, the Kingdom of Loen finally woke up and planned to start governing the East District, but it was only because of the fear of the evil god that it did so.

Because these people in the East District are powerless, they cannot pose any threat. In this world with extraordinary abilities, they are like weeds growing on the ground, and anyone can step on them.

However, once Frank's experimental research is successful, the increase in food production brought about by high-yield crops will force a large number of people from the land into factories.

People on the land and people in the factory will be closely integrated to form a powerful group. At that time, all they need is one...

"Ahem." Gawain coughed twice and did not dare to think any more.

If he continues to think about it, if he is punished by a mysterious force from another world, it will be the end of the world.

Thinking of this, Gawain quickly made amends for himself in his heart.

After all, Gawain is just an ordinary warrior and does not have the ability of the audience to guide the world situation.

In his previous life, he had never read any treatises or anthologies, and his favorite color was blue.

Therefore, everything that will happen next is of course caused by the natural operation of society and has nothing to do with him, an innocent little soldier. This is very reasonable.

Thinking of this, Gawain suddenly felt much more relaxed, and the sudden sense of crisis just now gradually disappeared.

The next morning, as soon as Gawain woke up from his trial dream, there was a knock on his door.

He got up, put on his coat, and opened the door. As expected, it was Frank Lee standing outside the door.

Frank looked at Gawain, showed a hearty smile, and asked: "Are you awake? How did you sleep last night?"

Gawain, who had just been abused by the dog all night, replied: "I think I slept well."

Frank saw that he was still a little confused and said:

"If you haven't slept well, then go get some sleep. The ship is naturally not as stable as on land. I'll have breakfast delivered to your room."

Gawain shook his head and said: "Forget it, did you come so early just because of what happened yesterday?"

"Yes, I thought about it all night yesterday and suddenly realized that I have too few crop seeds that can be used for experiments."

When Frank talked about the business, he suddenly said with excitement:

"So I came today because the ship has arrived in Bayam, and I plan to ask you to get off the ship and buy some grain seeds together."

Gawain thought for a moment and then agreed. He went back to the room to get dressed, had a simple breakfast with Frank, and then got off the boat with him.

The two came to the market and bought some common grain seeds in Bayam, and then prepared to return to the ship to start experiments.

On the way back, when passing by the bridge hole, Gawain saw a thin figure lying under the bridge hole from a distance.

He asked: "Why is that man lying there in broad daylight?"

Frank followed his line of sight, squinted, and replied, "This man is infected."

"What disease?"

"It's a disease that's hard to describe." Frank said in a low voice:

"At sea, many girls whose families were bankrupt were sold to the Red Theater. Although the Emperor had invented condoms long ago, many pirates were unwilling to use them, which would eventually lead to such a tragedy."

The two of them said nothing and walked forward in silence.

Gawain kept looking at the thin figure lying in the distance. When the figure was about to leave his sight, his steps stopped.

Frank also stopped. He did not speak, but quietly observed Gawain's reaction.

After a long time, Gawain asked: "Can it be cured?"

"Yes, but I have to go back to the ship to get the medicine."

"Do you mind if I meddle in this?"

"No, I feel a lot more relieved."

"Oh why?"

Frank smiled and said: "Actually, when I listened to your impassioned speech yesterday, I still had some doubts in my heart. I suspected that you wanted to use those poor people to achieve some ulterior purpose.

"But in that moment, I was sure that you really wanted to help them."

Gawain looked Frank up and down and said: "I didn't expect that you, a pirate, would pity them. I thought you joined this plan just to make the whole world call your name."

Frank smiled heartily and said: "Haha, of course there are reasons for this, but in the end, how different is I, who was once an orphan, from them?

"I'm just lucky enough to be saved by the Church of the Mother Goddess. I don't think I'm superior to them because of this."

His voice deepened and he said:

"When I heard you talking about the plight of those people yesterday, I had a feeling. I can't describe it well, but I felt sadness."

Gawain raised his legs and walked towards the bridge hole, and said softly: "This feeling is called the sorrow of the rabbit when it dies, and the sadness of the fox, when things hurt their own kind."

Frank followed closely and asked: "It's so insightful. Is this a word invented by Emperor Roselle?"

"Probably so."
