The sin of wearing a crown

Chapter 22 Under the prosperity

When the radiant figure of the burning sun gradually sank to the other end of the earth, the legendary resting paradise of the gods, the light and silent light of the moth moon slowly spread to the world in the blink of an eye of the stars.

Lynn and Sophia chatted a lot.

We were originally talking about Lin En's future plans, but as we were chatting, we didn't know how we got from the sugar industry chain to the current situation.

Although the Kingdom of Albion is still fighting, in general, the countries on the continent have reached a stalemate. The economy, which has been continuously declining, has also been on the rise recently. Newspapers have no longer publicized where the heroic and invincible Kingdom's army won the battle today or where it was. What an inspiring strategic victory.

If three years earlier, such news had been sent to punish those traitors who shamelessly abandoned the honor of the nobility, and even carried out sneak attacks to assassinate the royal blood of the allies, then of course one edition would have been sold out!

As for now...

Today, when the end of the war is far away, living standards continue to decline, and the number of new widows continues to increase, the role of this kind of newspaper is either to provide food or to add fuel to the fireplace in winter.

To be honest, when I read in my memory that this was the reason why the Kingdom of Albion sent troops, Linn was completely blank. He looked at the war in the mainland from a historical and obscene perspective. The essence of this war in the mainland is the continuation of the politics of various countries. The slogan is good, but if the war is not fought for the vast majority of the people in this country, the consequences of the war being stalemate or even ending make Linn feel chills all over his body.

But Lynn soon felt relieved.

This is a headache for the cabinet gentlemen. The original backward thoughts of die loyal kings have long been completely destroyed by the huge dialectical thinking of socialist education.

In a sense, Lin En is the number one villain and rebel of this era.

He was the first person to dare to raise his head and look at the crown as an equal among a group of people who bowed their heads in silence before the crown. Linn could even tell the story of the blood-stained crown falling down. Although the heads of nobles have been beheaded in this world, no one has yet beheaded the king. It may be due to extraordinary reasons that although the transfer of some royal rights has had twists and turns, it has always been within control.

'It's a pity that there is no good show here like selling people to support the United States. ’

Lin En was so malicious that he commented on the current situation in his heart. Of course, he still affirmed that good times are still to come. He repeatedly praised the king for his wisdom, his strength, and the clarity of the world. I, Albion, am invincible in the world.

The plates and cups on the steps were all empty. Sophia looked at Linn, who was able to eat and confident, with undisguised joy in her eyes. When she learned that her benefactor's chamber of commerce suddenly went bankrupt, she was most worried about Lin En. There were quite a lot of bankrupt businessmen these days. She had seen all kinds of them, and she was really afraid that Lin En would become decadent from now on.

"I'm going to go do some work. Will you go back to No. 175 tonight?" No. 175 is Linn's residence, and Sophia will definitely remember it.

"I must go back to clean up. I haven't finished paying the rent to Mr. Boris. What's more, my clothes and books are still there. If I go back in a day or two, the stingy and cunning Mr. Boris might think that I If he dies in Elba's field, he will justifiably accept my property."

Lin En's humorous tone made Sophia smile.

She knew that Lynn was making fun of a previous property dispute between the tenant and the landlord. In the end, the fair judge ruled that the wicked and greedy landlord should return all the tenant's belongings and impose a fine.

"Don't forget, tomorrow."

Sophia stood up and held Lin En's thin shoulders, making a gesture in front of her red lips.

"When I find a job, I will double my investment in you, just like my father did. How about I fund you to open a church welfare home?" Lin En, who is enjoying the meal, knows that he will definitely have more than one meal, and he does not feel ashamed. With your own knowledge, you will never die of hunger in this era. Recalling a dream that Sophia had mentioned when he was a child, he regarded the meal as his elder sister's investment in his current life.

"no problem."

Sophia was so happy that she patted Linn's shoulder. She didn't expect that he still remembered what she said to Linn when she was a child. She has a dream in her life, that one day she can be as great as the grandmother in the orphanage.

"Goodbye, Miss Sophia."

After saying goodbye, Linn stood up, stretched out comfortably, bowed his head gracefully, and left through the alley by the back door. After Linn's figure completely disappeared from sight, Sophia's eyes drifted guiltily as if she had done something bad secretly. Lin En's brother has really grown up, and it won't be easy for her to hold him like this in the future, but Rua's head should still be fine.

This guy thought she didn't see the few times he peeked~~

Sophia chuckled, then stretched out her hand to straighten her loose work clothes and tie them tightly.

"Goodbye, Miss Sophia. Goodbye, Mr. Linn~~ Ha! Goodbye, Mr. Linn, hahaha!" Sofia giggled, imitating Linn's elegance and politeness just before they left, as if she had been in the novel He secretly imitated it in the alley like the separation scene between the aristocratic lady and the gentleman he saw in the movie.

This scene was only known by the bright moonlight in the sky.

…………

…………

The halo lit by the gas street lamps dyes the road dim, and the swaying figures look extremely strange as they walk. In a daze, you stare at the ground and don't know whether you are moving or a shadow is moving.

As we gradually move away from the confines of midtown, there are fewer and fewer gas street lamps, and the gauzy glow of the moth moon gradually replaces the lighting.

The building complex with flying buttress spiers looks very magical and mysterious under the moonlight.

Soon the obviously dilapidated and one-story-short buildings on Squirrel Street appeared in front of us, and the distinct street facilities seemed to reflect this absurd reality. Lin En saw gang members who began to appear in groups at night. People were hiding from these local gangsters, and those who couldn't escape and were blocked also had a smile on their face.

At night in the [Steam City], where the light cannot shine, the underlying soil that has existed for a long time and has always existed will expose its rancid and fertile corner.

hDrug gambling, extortion, loan sharking, selling contraband, human trafficking, market control, smuggling...

When Lynn first came to Squirrel Street, he was so frightened by these things that he couldn't sleep for several days. Those things that really happened are in No. 175. A certain errant tenant was about to leave the place, but ended up being addicted to happy water and opium, and was defrauded of a desperate amount of money. In the end, it is said that all his fingers were smashed with a hammer. Became a performer in some perverted places.

Living in this era is not an easy thing, and there is no doubt that the gangs that actually control the slums add terrible risks to life. Lin En's green eyes were still bright after returning to No. 175 Squirrel Street. He knew that there was a lot of darkness in this difficult place. This was the shadow under the prosperity of Stim. All he could do at the moment was not to be dragged down by these darkness. into the abyss.

"Maybe when the war is over, everything will be fine."

Talking to himself in a tone that he didn't even believe, Linn managed his expression well enough to show a soft smile, and knocked on the door of Mr. Boris, who was also his landlord.

Mr. Lin En has to talk to the landlord about the problem of his room. A secret ceremony has been held there. For safety reasons, Lin En has to have a good talk with Mr. Boris.
