The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

The sudden attack of cold air swept across the central and eastern parts of the entire continent from north to south. Charles, who had attended the award ceremony, found that the temperature had dropped a lot as soon as he left the banquet hall, so he took out the scarf that Aunt Marcy gave him to borrow. He gave it to Meliti, and then took out the scarf that Elizabeth knitted for him and wrapped it around one head with Diana.

Charles said worriedly: "Suddenly the temperature has dropped, and the life of the victims who fled the famine in the north is sad."

Diana beside him said: "Linda and Auston started taking food to gather the victims at the end of last year, so the overall situation will not be too bad."

Charles just said "um" and didn't speak. The actual situation was probably not so optimistic. He didn't want to talk about the darkness inside some nobles.

Diana couldn't imagine what many nobles did in the disaster year. Charles was stunned when he heard his father talk about it before.

When the disaster comes, those nobles who have a large number of slaves will release the magical shackles on the slaves after the autumn harvest and let them disperse on their own.

This is not the kindness of the slave owners, but to reduce food consumption.

When the second year is over, the nobles can absorb new slaves by raising food prices and other methods.

These freedmen, who have been bankrupted by the inexplicable increase in food prices, are much more useful than those "old" slaves.

And those slaves who were released before went through a winter of "survival of the fittest", and the rest are high-quality slaves, and then there will naturally be a slave-catching team to "recycle" them.

After such a circle, the slaves in the hands of the nobles have completed the "replacement".

From the beginning, Charles suspected that Mordred's parents became slaves in this way, and it was even possible that her parents sold her in exchange for food.

For the reproduction of slaves, slave owners will consider the issue of gender balance among slaves. Compared with those girls who are sensible and will resist, it is more convenient to buy a little girl who is not sensible and raise it as a reproductive machine as a slave. Maybe you can buy a good-looking girl and use it as another kind of slave.

The latter situation is another way of playing among nobles.

Although the Charles family did not keep slaves, there were quite a few such slaves in the family of his neighbor, the Marquis Hermanlik.

Diana saw that Charles was silent and thought about the mention of food in the conversation just now, thinking that he was unhappy because of something.

So Diana took Charles' hand and said, "That Conradin..."

At this time, Meliti, who was eating frozen lemons behind the two, stretched out her hand and patted Charles on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, it's my fault, if it wasn't for me, I wouldn't let that jellyfish head and Naina Na met."

Charles shook his head and said, "I haven't paid attention to that guy yet."

This matter has to be traced back to what Charles himself made.

Many things in the world are interlinked. At first, because Diana often stayed up late, Charles asked Arturia to take her to the sea of ​​elf trees to recuperate. After learning about Meliti's whereabouts, his subordinates decided to kidnap Meliti. Later, Diana used a disarming spell to solve the kidnapper's damaged ship and washed ashore to avoid safety, and the place where they landed happened to be the king of Hohen Kingdom. near Taufen.

Because Meliti was a member of the royal family, officials from Staufen City took them to the capital to rest for a while. Later, Prince Conradin, who came to offer condolences on behalf of the king, met Diana, and he fell in love with Diana at first sight.

Diana and Meliti never mentioned this to Charles, but Arturia was there at the time, so Charles knew about it early on, and knew more.

It's just that Charles didn't have the energy to take care of Conradin at that time, so he left it alone.

At the end of last year, Charles and Diana became a couple.

At that time, Charles didn't want to devote his energy to paying attention to that Conradin. He had too many things to do, but Conradin hit him head-on.

Due to the good relationship between the Hohen Kingdom and the Elf Royal Court since the founding of the Kingdom of Hohen, Charles did not want to make things too extreme to embarrass Queen Victoria at first.

So he asked Alfred to pass a message, for the sake of the good relationship between Frederick I, the founding king of the Hohen Kingdom, and his ancestors, everyone took a step back. As long as Conradin stopped pursuing Diana, Charles would put Conrad. All the food coupons in Latin's hands were exchanged, and the food was directly brought to Staufen City for him.

In the end, Ah Fu was closed.

Charles, who learned about this, laughed three times, and then ignored Conradin. The other party was shameless, and then he would suffer.

Finding Diana's hand holding his paw a little harder, Charles smiled and said to her: "Don't worry about it, it's okay that he didn't buy so many food coupons, and now he has so many coupons in his hand, like It is the 'Charles conscience' that holds the same weight, and he will suffer at that time."

But Diana still didn't feel relieved. She asked, "So much food..."

As soon as she said this, Diana suddenly froze for a moment. After a few seconds, her face turned into a ghostly expression, and she looked at Charles beside her in disbelief.

Charles asked with a smile, "Did you think of it?"

It took a while for Diana to come back to her senses, and she said, "The flying dragon can still make a comeback~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but you are the dragon riding the face."

"How big was your chess game at the beginning?"

Charles shrugged and said, "He asked for it by himself. I was only there for disaster relief, but who made him bump into him out of his head?"

"Originally, I didn't want to get things done, just let him get the food at the end, but someone helped me get things done."

Diana shook her head and sighed, "He's really unlucky to meet you. Now he's going to have an arterial hemorrhage."

"Knowing yourself and knowing the other side can help you win every battle." Charles also shook his head, "but he doesn't know anything about the forces in this society, and it is inevitable that he will fail in the end."

Meliti listened quietly, and then asked, "What are you two playing? Charles, how are you going to cut the head of that jellyfish?"

"It's nothing," Charles said. "It's just helping his wallet lose weight."

Meliti said, "That's a good feeling. I asked my family about it before. That jellyfish's head is very rich, so it's right to cut it more."

Charles smiled and said, "It's already February, and it's not far from the closing time."

It's just a pity for Charles, it would be nice if he could go back to watch the fun, but according to the schedule, he will return to the 168th team after the awards ceremony.

In the next time, the 168th Group will be refitted and reorganized as an experimental unit, and Charles will participate in it in a dual capacity.
