honor me as god

Chapter 958 History repeats itself
(two in one, today and tomorrow)
A year and a half ago, in the year 528 of the Fire Calendar, Kino had completed harvesting the awe value.

From that moment on, the awe of the people was no longer important, so Kino left Dogrand, and spent the rest of his time with Ye Xiaochen looking for the missing Solandelle.

For Kino, Dogrand is just a place that provides awe value, use it when you need it, and leave when you don't need it.

But for Dogorand, for those people who have no productive capacity and are intoxicated all day long, Kino is the Lord and God, and his departure means the collapse of the entire kingdom.

Under the Guarantee Act, the productive forces of all social strata have long since dried up, and Dogrand has turned into a bloated corpse.

Kino's departure meant that no one would inject fresh blood into this corpse.

There is no longer an unlimited supply of materials, which means that the only remaining inventory is the only hope for survival.

The conflict broke out in a very short period of time. People were beaten to death for the supplies in the warehouse. The forces from all over the country fought each other, attacked each other, and competed with each other. The whole kingdom changed from a blissful and prosperous world to a chaotic world overnight.

During this period, all the heroes rose together, the four sides were separated, and countless tyrants stepped onto the stage, and then ended in an instant, as if the dispute between the eight kings was staged again hundreds of years ago.

In the end, a family of extraordinary people wiped out the six major provinces, controlled the lifelines of resources in various places, and occupied the royal city. The head of the family took the throne and became a new generation of kings.

Following the example of the founding king of the year, the "ancient king" Dogurand I, the king restored the ancient ancestral system and confiscated the public land to the nobles of the four directions.

Sitting on the resources and fiefdoms bestowed by the king, the nobles hired people who could not afford to eat, and forced them to sign contracts of prostitution to work as slaves.

The greed of the rentiers is like a prairie fire that burns through the whole kingdom.

The gold, silver, copper and iron of the moon coin, the brand of the slave, the nobles and the slave masters, the superhumans above the law... The ashes of history revived so quickly.

In just one and a half years, Dogrand returned to the past, and the things that had been wiped out reappeared, and the former Queen's New Deal seemed to be just a mirror image.

Accompanied by Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng, Solandelle returned to the royal city where she had lived for 27 years.

When she saw the street scene in Wangcheng, she had only one thought—it was exactly the same as her childhood memory.

The sky is covered with fine snow, and the ground is covered with frost. Today is the year-end market day, and the streets are more crowded than usual. Pedestrians pass by in a hurry, preparing to welcome the first New Year after the rebirth of Dogrand.

A cavalry team was rushing from the end of the street, and people on the road gave way one after another. They looked at the logo on the cavalry armor, and whispered the words "Eric" from time to time.

After the cavalry cleared the way, a beautifully decorated carriage slowly passed by, and the people hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at it, to show their humility.

The bazaar is a pedestrian area, and horses are not allowed to enter, but this carriage drove straight in accompanied by cavalry, and the security soldiers stationed here did not stop it, but saluted the carriage instead.

Bargaining lingered in the market. Although the king rationed food for the people, the food only kept people alive.

If you want to have a full meal in the New Year, you have to sell the precious things you were unwilling to sell.

A short woman was standing on the street at this moment, holding in her arms what she was selling - two infant children.

"Masters, come and see my children, they are all born less than half a year ago, they are very healthy! Whether they are brought up to serve the masters, or be used as soul slaves, they will definitely satisfy the masters!"

The cries of the little woman made the carriage stop, and a nobleman in the uniform of the Eric family stepped out, silently looking at the child in her arms.

Seeing the logo on the uniform, the short woman seemed to be in awe and panic, and knelt down on the ground directly: "My lord, your arrival makes me feel like I am bathed in the spring breeze!"

She quickly lifted off the swaddle, and showed the sleeping child to the nobleman: "My lord, are you a soul master? Come and see my children! They will definitely become very good soul slaves when they grow up!"

The noble didn't speak, and stretched out his hand directly to release the weak soul-searching power. The energy swam across the child's face like a poisonous snake, checking the strength of his soul.

The child felt uncomfortable and burst into tears in the swaddle. The loud cry could be heard more than ten meters away.

Under the longing gaze of the little woman, the nobleman nodded: "It is indeed a very strong soul, and it will become a good soul slave when it grows up. I want both, and I will give you 100 copper moons."

The little woman hesitated for a while, then smiled humbly: "Master, is 150 pieces okay? You see they are so strong"

Anger was burning in the nobleman's eyes, and he slapped the little woman on the face directly: "Untouchable, do you dare to bargain with me?!"

The aristocrat is very powerful, the face of the little woman was directly slapped open, and the blood was bubbling. She knelt on the ground and couldn't stop trembling.

The nobleman threw down his purse, asked his attendants to carry away the two crying children, boarded the carriage and left.

The little woman didn't look at the carriage carrying her child away, but opened the purse and murmured the number of copper moons. At the end of the count, her eyes were dark and she muttered: "There are more than a dozen coins missing."

She didn't even dare to shout out loud, only dared to say this sentence to herself.

She put the money bag in the deepest part of her clothes, and when she got up, she hurriedly didn't look at the road, and bumped into the person next to her.

She raised her head and saw the other party's blue eyes.

Looking at these eyes, the short girl felt a little familiar in a trance, and gradually fell into a daze.

In the end, she didn't know whether she was apologizing for her rashness or recalling something, she covered the bleeding wound on her face, murmured "I'm sorry", wiped her tears and left with her head buried.

Solandelle looked in the direction in which the little woman left, and that figure quickly disappeared into the corner of the alley.

It also happened at this moment that a pair of noble father and son appeared from the corner. The father looked to be in his early thirties, and the little boy should be only seven or eight years old.

As I said before, the market is a walking area, not every nobleman can be as domineering as the royal nobles, ordinary nobles are still law-abiding, such as this father and son.

The father was walking behind, and the little boy was riding something-this behavior did not violate the law, because the walking area only said that horses could not be ridden, and it did not say that "riding people" was not allowed.

I saw the little boy riding on the back of a scar-faced man. The scar-faced man was on the ground with his knees and hands, struggling to crawl with his master on his back.

After the new king came to power, almost all the resources from all over the place were given priority to the royal family and the newly-canonized nobles, and the people at the bottom could only get a small part.

Some people can't adapt to the contrast in life before and after, so they will choose to sign a contract of sale with the nobles in order to obtain better material.

This scar-faced man is lucky, because he has a strong body, the noble mansion readily accepted him, and his usual food and drink expenses exceeded 90% of the civilians in Dougland.

The only small price to pay is to be a dog for the nobles, to watch the house and guard the courtyard, play with the young master, and let the young master ride on his back when going out.

The little boy was riding on the back of the scar-faced man and eating snacks with relish. He patted the back of the scar-faced man's head with his greasy hand: "Hurry up, Da Wang, mom said she will cook the main course herself tonight, let's hurry up!" Buy the ingredients back, or she will be angry."

The scar-faced man turned his head and smiled obsequiously: "Master, I'll run right away! Sit still!"

"Be careful not to drop him, or you will be fined to be locked up in a cage and have no food for three days." His father followed behind, with an understatement.

The scar-faced man said with trepidation, "Yes, master."

The little boy patted his head again: "I told you several times, you are my dog, you can't say yes when you answer, you have to say woof!"

"Woof!" The scar-faced man barked and jumped like a dog, making the little boy on his back laugh out loud.

When the scar-faced man crawled forward, he met Solandelle head-on, and he was stunned when his eyes met.

The scar-faced man's eyes became lifeless and gloomy, and the past memories destroyed his long-lost self-esteem.

In the end, he didn't have the courage to continue looking into those blue eyes, lowered his head again, and hurried past Solandelle.

In places like the market, apart from all kinds of people, there are often homeless wild dogs haunting them, trying to find some food among the things thrown away by humans.

A stray dog ​​that was looking for food raised its head and ran to the scar-faced man.

Perhaps it has never seen such a strange-looking "similar" before. It dare not get too close, but is annoyed by the other party entering its own territory, and keeps emitting short and low barks from its throat.

Seeing the wild dogs barking around, the little boy got a little angry and jumped off the scar-faced man's back, commanding angrily, "Da Wang, go! Bite him!"

The scar-faced man rushed forward with hands and feet, and wrestled with the frightened stray dog.

In the end, the stray dog ​​failed to defeat the scar-faced man, let out a sharp and rapid whine, and fled despondently with its tail between its legs.

"Oh! Great job Da Wang! Go back and reward you with a leg of lamb!" The little boy jumped up and down, cheering and clapping his hands.

The man with the scarred face was fighting with the stray dogs on the ground. His clothes had been bitten to tatters, and blood was still bleeding in many places. The dirt on his face made it difficult to recognize his true face, but he could still see his white teeth grinning.

"Woof!" In response to the little master's praise, there was a bark that sounded very standard.

As he wished, he really became a dog.

Actually, don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a dog.

In a world where the jungle is prey to the jungle, dogs are at least able to eat meat now and then.

And some people, let alone eating meat, are not even qualified to be eaten as meat.

An old man was sitting in the corner of the market. He was really old, his beard and hair were all gray, his dull skin was full of dark spots, and his deep wrinkles seemed to be drawn by a knife.

Only one of his eyes was opened, and the other eyelid was tightly closed and sunken, obviously a one-eyed disabled person.

The one-eyed old man hadn't eaten for an unknown period of time. His body was so hungry that nothing but skin and bones remained, like a skeleton. His cloudy one-eyed just stared longingly at the food in the hands of passers-by.

If it is said that people like the scar-faced man still have the advantages of age and body, they can sign a contract of sale and live a good life with the nobles.

Then people like the one-eyed old man are abandoned people in the true sense.

Throughout the history of Dogorand, except during the Queen's New Deal period, no generation of king's policy will protect those civilians who are unable to work.

Want to live?It's simple, show your worth and work hard.

no value?Can't work?Then please die yourself and don't occupy the kingdom's resources.

The one-eyed old man is really too old, he has no noble background, no one will support him, and he doesn't have a strong body, so no one wants to sign a contract of sale.

But he still has the desire to live.

The end result is sitting on the street in despair like now, suffering from helplessness and hunger.

The eyes of the one-eyed old man scanned the crowd blankly, and suddenly, she saw a figure.

Although the appearance of the other party has changed slightly from the past, it still gradually matches the figure in his memory, and finally overlaps.

The one-eyed old man stared at the queen he spurned in the past, tears flowed from that cloudy eye, he almost raised his thin arm with all his strength, and opened his mouth.

He was so weak that he could no longer speak, but kept touching his mouth with his hands.

Solandelle didn't understand what this meant at first, but then she realized it.

He's saying - give me a bite, please.

In Solandelle's eyes, this is clearly the capital of a country, but it is like a reenactment of walking through Danyu City when she was 12 years old, with devastation everywhere.

She walked to the corner of an alleyway, and there sat a couple tightly wrapped in a blanket. The blanket was big enough, but many of their body parts were exposed to the cold wind, and they were shivering.

Solandelle took a closer look and found that the couple was still protecting a young girl in their arms. They covered most of the blankets on their daughter just to give her more warmth.

At this time, Solandelle saw the couple's bare wrists, with a regular scar on them.

This kind of scar has a very special meaning, which means that they were slaves in the old days and were branded as slaves.

Later, they were liberated under the Queen's New Deal, surgery to remove the branding, scarring, and regain human dignity.

In those years, the Queen's New Deal reclaimed the land confiscated to the nobles, and these lands were given priority to the freed slaves so that they could live on their own.

But now, they are sleeping on the street again, returning to the horrible past, with nothing.

Solandelle squatted down in front of the couple, she gently held the woman's hand, and stroked the scar with her fingers, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "Where is your home?"

The couple didn't recognize Solandelle, they looked at each other, and finally bowed their heads sadly.

"This place has fallen, my lady, the Transcendents have smashed the defense line of the Resistance Army, the nobles and slave owners have once again ridden on our heads, and everything has been taken away from everyone"

The liberated slaves and the queen who liberated them faced each other, speechless, trembling in the cold wind.

Ye Xiaochen sighed, came over and put his hand on Solandelle's shoulder lightly, and said, "It's time to go, he's waiting for you, and he's already prepared for you to ascend the rank of God."
