Succubus' Manor

There are more vagrants on the streets, and people's purchasing power is limited. Big businessmen do business with nobles, even if they don't earn much, they won't lose too much.

But small businessmen can’t sustain themselves anymore. Their goods cannot be sold and they are hoarded in warehouses. There are vagrants wandering around every day. They can only spend part of the money to hire someone to look at the warehouse.

People who have no money, no food, and no jobs can only take risks.

The commoners who can live in the central block of the holy city are said to be commoners, but they are actually the "rich second generation" who have accumulated wealth for several generations. Otherwise, they would not have been able to support the holy courtyard for so many years.

And those who live on the edge of the city are the real "common people", who have little property, and have to support their parents and children, and they cannot earn a decent house for several generations.

Their lives were difficult, but they still had food to eat before, and as long as they were willing to endure hardship, they could still find work.

Now there is nothing, the weather is getting colder, the snow is getting heavier, the snow on the roof has to be cleared every day, the children eat when they are hungry, the elderly also eat when they are hungry, there are not many warm clothes at home , all the thick clothes add up, only one person can go out.

When there is no way out, when people become desperate, the originally mild-tempered people will become extreme.

They will hate everything around them, they will be willing to humblely ask for a little food, and they will raise the butcher knife to those who are weaker than them.

When they are larger in number, more fearless, and led by someone, they can even turn on the lords above them.

They need a leader, a leader who can make people find reasonable reasons for their actions, and who can make them feel that even if something goes wrong, the other party will stand up to them.

It was at this time that Wright came into people's sight. Wright didn't appear alone. He brought a group of people, including men and women, old and young. On the side of the road, when you see someone well-dressed, let the old man and the woman go up to stop them, crying with snot and tears, it is best to cry out of human shape, if the other party wants to leave, the woman will kneel and hug the other party's two legs Legs, knowing that the other party took out the money.

If the man wanted to beat women and old people, the men squatting next to him would step forward.

They didn't want much, a few copper coins were enough, so in order to save time, most of those who were stopped threw a few copper coins out.

Wright keeps all the money, and after returning home every day, he takes out the money and counts it with them, so that they know what to expect, and when buying food, he will go with a different person.

What he buys are the cheapest grains, wheat bran and shriveled soybeans, but if you cook a pot full, you can get a full stomach. People eat one meal a day, but no one complains, so they won’t be so hungry that they won’t be able to sleep up.

It is not without bad intentions. Those who got up in the middle of the night to steal food were discovered and beaten severely, and then thrown out of the house.

The next morning, the man disappeared, but people knew in their hearts that the man would not survive, but they had no mercy at all.

People know what sympathy and compassion are when they are full of food and drink, and they live without worries.

When they are still struggling to survive, who cares whether other people live or die. They only know that once the food is taken away, they will be hungry for a few days, and they may not be able to survive the few days if they are in poor health.

What's more, Wright never hides from them, and they know how much money they have. Now that the food price is so high, if they change the leader, maybe they will not be easy to eat half full, not to mention being full.

More and more people came to join Wright, and gradually, they became a force not to be underestimated.

They are all poor people, with no job, no future, and only a ruthless spirit. They even dare to kill people in order to survive.

There were more and more people, and even the neighbors joined Wright's team, and the neighbor's house was also used to house other people, so Wright took the opportunity to "preach" them.

The poor have no faith, and they cannot even enter the gate of the Holy House.

Wright told them that there was a city called Stettin not far away.

"That's where I came from. At that time, I felt young and wanted to go out and see how prosperous the holy city is." Wright said that the painful expression on his face at this time did not seem to be fake.

He continued: "In Stettin, even the poor have enough to eat, have houses to live in, disabled people can apply for subsidies, and get enough wheat every month, people like you."

Wright looked at a woman who was so thin that only she was left. This woman took a daughter to make a living. Although she was thin, she was very fierce, like a she-wolf.

She was always the first one to rush up and hug the rich man's legs. She would not let go even if she was kicked or beaten.

Wright said to her: "Like you, you and your daughter are both women. If there is no man in the family to work, you can apply to go to Saket, where women can weave and make clothes. Even if they are too stupid, they can't do both. Well, I can still do the laundry."

"There are many women in Saket, and there are guards patrolling every night. If a man stops you, the guards will beat him away, and they don't want any favors from you. The lord gives them a lot of income."

"And you." Wright pointed to a man with blemishes, not very good-looking, and unable to marry a wife, "There are more women in Stettin than here, as long as you work hard and have a good body, There's always a woman who will fall in love with you."

After Wright counted all the people and told them the life they most wanted, he said, "But we don't have the money to go to Stettin."

The hope was still ignited just now, and the poor people who really wanted to abandon everything and go to Stettin were silent.

They stayed in the holy city, and they could still get a bite to eat. Although they would be beaten and chased away, they still had something to eat.

But if they go to Stettin, they have no money and cannot follow the caravan. In such weather, half of them may be gone.

After looking at everyone's expressions, Wright said after thinking about it: "But it's not hopeless. Do you know what kind of life the people of Stettin lived before the lord of Stettin went to Stettin? Then The plague has not yet passed, and the people of Stettin are worse than you! They can only lie down and wait for death. No merchant dares to do business, and they cannot buy food..."

Everyone listened carefully—most people are simple and easy to trust others. After all, they have never read a book, and they have limited contact with people. Their world is small.

At this time, someone came out and outlined an ideal city for them. How could they not believe it?As long as this place exists, they can always have a little hope in their hearts.

When the atmosphere was almost over, Wright said to them: "Now, the lord of Stettin is here."

"He allowed the civilians in Stettin to have clothes to wear, food to eat, and the ability to stand up and be human. He will also allow you to be human and have food in the holy city."

Some poor people couldn't help asking: "But... he is just the lord of Stettin, and he can't control the Holy City. The Holy City still has the royal family and the Holy Court."

Poor people: "Yes, no matter how powerful he is, can he surpass the royal family and the Holy Court?"

Wright snorted: "The royal family and the Holy Court, the royal family only cares about those nobles and lords, and doesn't care about us poor people at all! If we die, maybe they will be happy, no one wastes food, we are still in their eyes It is not as good as a chicken, and chickens can be killed for meat, so what can we do?"

The complexions of the poor have changed. They all know that they are nothing in the eyes of the royal family, but when they say it from other people's mouths, it feels completely different from what they think in their hearts.

No one wants to admit that they are garbage in the eyes of others alive.

Wright: "Let's talk about the Holy Court, you people without property are not even worthy of believing in the Holy Spirit."

Some of the poor also believe in the Holy Spirit. They dare not directly refute Wright, but dare to whisper: "Believe in the Holy Spirit, and you will live a good life after you die."

They have never memorized the scriptures, and no one told them the doctrines. They only know that as long as they believe in the Holy Spirit, even if they live badly, they can still enjoy it when they die.

They have no hope in life, they can only hope in the afterlife.

But Wright ruthlessly shattered their illusions: "Do you know who are those who can go to the Holy Spirit to enjoy blessings after death? They are all nobles, or those rich households who can give out a few gold coins. You don't touch them." Feel how much money is in your bag, you can’t eat enough when you’re alive, but you’ll be full when you’re dead? Then why doesn’t the Holy Spirit save you now?”

"If you really think so, go now."

Wright said with a hurt face: "I took you out to ask for money in such heavy snow, and I never greedy a copper coin, and I never missed a bite of food for you."

"If you feel that the Holy Spirit gave you all this, why not go out now and see what else the Holy Spirit will give you."

Now Wright has established his own prestige among the poor, and people all obey him. The poor need a backbone, and Wright is the backbone.

These poor people will become the lord's first weapon in the holy city.

Wright looked at the few people just now, who lowered their heads and did not speak.

Wright didn't care whether they thought it through or not, and continued: "No matter who is in charge of us, as long as the other party can give us enough food and clothing, we will follow him, right?"

"We are poor, we only have ourselves, so we can't count on the royal family and the Holy House, but the lord from Stettin, he allows poor people like us to live a life that only gentlemen can live."

Wright began to draw big pies for them.

After the painting was finished, someone asked: "But that lord... is not someone we can get in touch with."

Wright: "We don't need to touch him! As long as we let him control us!"

The poor wondered: "What can we do?"

Wright smiled confidently and said, "I have a way."

He has been following the adults for so long, and has never been able to show his face in front of the adults. As long as he succeeds this time, Just can no longer dominate him.

He is no worse than Just.

The author has something to say: So what, don't use high moral standards to demand poor people who can't even survive.

Then Wright is a new character, Kadi is in charge of Stettin's affairs, and the personal servant who followed Chi Yan to the holy city is Ryan.
