Chapter 539 Tent Village(1/3)

Author: Fierce Male Hamster

The Golden Triangle can be formed. The farmers in the western border of Erathia who want to go to Avili to make a living are undoubtedly the source of everything.

If these humans want to leave Erathia, there will be fewer believers and coolies for the church, so the church will "manage" these farmers who enter Aveli in the name of population dispatch.

Those farmers worked so hard that they could only get 1/3 of the rewards paid by the elves, and 2/3 would be confiscated by the church to provide food, drink and fun for all levels of the church.

It's impossible for farmers not to pay this amount.

Erathia stipulates that only farmers who are married and have children can go to Avili, and neither children nor wives can be brought there.

And it must be a farm that cooperates with the church, and the church will allow farmers to work there.

Various interests and rules were woven into an invisible web, trapping farmers who tried to escape Erathia.

But even so, the lives of these farmers who were lucky enough to leave Erathia are still much better than those who stayed in Erathia.

At the very least, in Aveli, if you work 6 to 9 hours a day, you can save gold coins every year.

In Erathia, working 12 hours a day makes survival a problem.

Thanks to Aveili's efforts, the church still gave those farmers some hope.

As long as he advances to level 4 agricultural scholar, Aveili will buy out the agricultural scholar and his family from Erathia in an official capacity with two years' salary of the agricultural scholar.

For farmers who know the path of Aveli, this is an excellent way out - as long as you work hard, there is hope, which is much better than Erathia, who only has despair no matter how hard you try.

But those who can take the formal route are still in the minority.

The church has limited control and cannot control huge boundaries.

Because of this, some of the farmers gathered near the Aveli border risked their lives to cross the border illegally.

But the success rate of smuggling is really low.

The border of Avili and the border of Erathia are not directly adjacent to each other, and there is a wild monster area in between.

Forcefully pass through the wild monster area, and there will be no chance of death.

Only under the leadership of some explorers, business groups, and adventurers could farmers sneak across.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Where there is resistance, there is repression.

Those who are capable of leading farmers through the wild monster area must at least have a strong team led by a hero.

The Church and the Erathian Border Guard investigate these teams very strictly, and if caught, they will be severely punished.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer people dare to take on this kind of business.

However, there will still be a steady stream of farmers flowing from the western border of Erathia to the Avili border.

They hold on to their last hope and struggle to survive by doing some tiring and poorly paid jobs, looking forward to the opportunity to change their destiny.

These farmers have their own nicknames among the three forces.

The Erathian Church and Roland's men call them [Human Mines].

This means that these farmers are like gold mines that mine automatically. They squeeze out gold coins by themselves without doing anything.

Moreover, it can never be dug out completely.

The necromancers of Diya call them "living zombies", which means spare corpses that can be killed at will.

Avili calls them "Traveler Birds".

The traveling bird is a bird unique to the Elf Empire. It is at home all over the world and has no fixed place.

After a traveling bird gets married, it will show closeness to other birds. The couple will live in the nests of other birds and raise the young traveling bird. Then the whole family will go their separate ways and continue wandering.

Except for Avili's relatively neutral names for these farmers, Diya and Erathia's names were full of malice towards them.

These Erathian farmers gathered on the border and lived together in villages, which were called contemptuously by the local residents:

【Tent Village】.

At this time, seven luxury carriages, which are completely opposite to the barren western border of Erathia, are heading to the [Tent Village] under the leadership of digital guides.

In front of each of these carriages are four high-spirited war horses.

Just by looking at their soft fur without a stray hair and the clearly visible strong muscles all over their bodies, you can tell that the price of these war horses is definitely not cheap.

Such a horse can still pull a shabby open carriage with a sense of nobility.

But the carriage they were pulling now made people feel that these war horses were not worthy.

In addition to the various reliefs decorated around the luxurious carriages, there are also many shiny mechanical devices, which means that they are all luxury goods imported from Bracada.

Even in the royal capital of Shengtian City, only the top rich and powerful can ride such carriages.

Each carriage is as big as a small room, and can easily seat a dozen people inside.

Even a layman who knows nothing will immediately realize when he sees these carriages that they cannot afford to offend the people sitting in them.

Four flags were erected on the top of each luxury carriage.

The [Holy Angel Flag] represents the church, the [Blue Flower Flag] represents Longgue Port City, the [Pigeon] flag represents the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce, and the [Holy Grail Flag] represents Saint Adela.

Even if you don't understand the specific meaning of these four flags, just seeing the exquisite embroidery and expensive fabrics is enough to make people understand that the meaning behind these four flags must be extraordinary.

Meteor and his sister Liuli were sitting alone in the front carriage. The other carriages behind them were filled with professional players from the World Hegemony Guild.

This is a team of wealthy businessmen composed entirely of players with financial abilities.

"Xu~~~"

Several coachmen gave orders to stop at the same time, and the luxurious carriage convoy slowly stopped on the muddy road.

The guide responsible for leading the way, with a flattering smile on his face, asked for instructions from the leading carriage:

"Vice President Meteor, we have arrived.

This place is full of cheap refugees, none of them have anything to care about, and it's very chaotic.

Some people are so poor that they can do anything.

Please wait here with all the adults while I go find a local steward."

"go."

Meteor said coldly in the tent, and threw a small bag of gold coins from the tent.

Not many, 4 pieces, divided into the hands of 4 guides, each person only has 1 piece.

But for these guides, this is already unimaginably generous.

The guides thanked them profusely, backed away, and joined the other three companions.

Liuli opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside curiously.

It is said to be a tent village, but in fact there is no village at all.

[Tent Village] This is not a village at all, it is just a muddy field with many shabby tents in it.

Many tents have leaky roofs, and wooden barrels to catch rainwater are placed underneath.

Many unsupervised children are curiously looking at Liuli's carriage. They are both male and female, but they all have long hair. It's not that there is any tradition of long hair here, but no one in the entire tent village buys it.

Just pick up the scissors.

Liuli looked a little uncomfortable.

These children's arms are pitifully thin, about the size of a shooting star's thumb, and their clothes have many irregular holes, regardless of whether they are dry or not.

Liuli saw that there were no beds at all in the tents where these children lived, only some dry thatch leaves piled into a pile, and then surrounded by stones.

There are even chickens, ducks and pigs living in some tents, and animal excrement is everywhere.

It can be seen that the owner of the tent lives in the same tent as these livestock.

Before Liuli could take a closer look, the four guides who had brought them here dragged a skinny old man over.

One of the guides said to the old man arrogantly:

"You're in luck. These are all important people from the royal capital. As long as you serve them well, you will benefit a lot from them."

After he finished speaking, he trotted to the carriage and introduced him flatteringly:

"Vice President Meteor, this is the local steward.

This old man will take you to understand the situation of each family here in a while.

He has lived here for decades and is more familiar with it than we are.

Don’t worry, we’ll pay you, so you don’t have to waste your money.”

Liuli looked at the old man. His eyes were evasive, his dirty hands were trembling, and his face was full of confusion and helplessness.

Liuli was a little angry for some reason. She opened the carriage curtain and said:

"In that case, you four shouldn't follow him, just let him take us."

"this……"

"Miss, there is a lot of chaos here. If we are not here, we are afraid that those people will bump into you."
