In the last days, I became the young former commander

Emilia spoke.

In fact, as a candidate for the king's election, she is qualified to use the resources of the Marquis of Roswaal who supports her.

After all, the support faction behind the king||candidate is equivalent to a bet. Once the candidate he supports successfully becomes the king of the Kingdom of Luknica, the family will also receive the support of the king, thus becoming the largest faction in the kingdom.

Therefore, according to the regulations, the king||candidate has a certain right to use the resources of the candidate's family to do some things.

On the other hand, what is done by mobilizing resources can also be a positive deed. Emilia's plan to mobilize food to distribute to people in the slums can definitely be regarded as a positive deed.

However, since people in the slums do not have the right to vote, they are not even qualified to be called ordinary people in the capital, so although what Emilia plans to do is positive, it does not have much impact on Wang || help, so other candidates don't mobilize large amounts of supplies to do such a thankless task.

In fact, the entire Kingdom of Luknica has a deep chain of contempt. The nobles look down on the commoners, and the commoners look down on the people living in the slums. Most commoners think that the people living in the slums are thieves, prostitutes, A gambler, a drunkard, or something.

In fact, since there are no means of livelihood in the slums, such things as stealing and selling their bodies are indeed uncommon. For gamblers and alcoholics, there is no internal law in the capital, and it is a good place to avoid debts and live cheaply. , so over time the slums have indeed developed in the direction that the common people despise.

However, more people in the slums are poor people who have to live here because they have a means of earning a living. They also planned to make money by working at first, but they were trapped in the slums because of various accidents. In the slums, they were labeled as slum dwellers and were unable to find a suitable job. In the end, the vicious circle was caught by the slums like a spider web.

Because of this situation, even if what Emilia intends to do is a good thing in terms of humanity, it will still not get the support of voters, not to mention that the resources in the border territory of Roswaal are all provided by civilians. What Emilia has done is likely to be considered by the voters below as using their hard-earned taxes to support thieves and prostitutes, thus further reducing her approval rate and reputation .

But Roswaal doesn't care about these things. His purpose is just to let Emilia stay in the capital to participate in the king's election, and this slum is the handcuffs he put on Emilia.

"It is true that we have gone to see them now. Those who should starve to death will still starve to death, but at least you have to make a rough estimate of how much food needs to be mobilized and distributed in the shortest possible time so that they will not be tortured by hunger?"

"You know, the preparation and transshipment of materials also takes time. If you prepare too little, you won't have enough food, and if you prepare too much, it will waste time. Therefore, if you want to save the people here, you'd better look at the situation inside .”

Roswaal explained.

After thinking about it carefully, Emilia really felt that what Roswaal said made sense, and then walked quickly into the slum.

Along the way, Emilia found that there was a big change from the last time.

The last time she entered the slums, because it was almost night, most of the people hid in their shelters to prevent being stolen or killed by others. In the case of mutual fear, the various conflicts were not too much obvious.

But now it was the morning when the sun was shining, and people who had been hungry all night and were about to starve to death would come out to look for rations, so things like fighting and stealing happened frequently.

It can be said that the night scene that Emilia saw earlier was the winner who survived, while the loser was eliminated before she entered the slums.

So until today, Emilia really saw the cruelty of the slums.

After roughly counting the food needed by the people in the slums, Emilia left and took Roswaal on the return journey, intending to go back and prepare relief supplies.

But what she didn't know was that she had stepped into the trap that Roswaal had set up step by step.

Chapter 54

"Lord Emilia, in fact, because the aliens in the north of the capital are suspected of acting rashly, I have to go to the northern region to suppress it for a while, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a long time, Roswaal All the assets of the mansion are left to you to use, and if you want to do something, Frandelica will assist you in carrying out various affairs."

"However, please remember that my Roswaal family's financial resources are limited after all, and I cannot maintain the expenses of the slums for many years. Those people in the slums can only stay there because they are labeled as slums and cannot find jobs. Dark and dirty places, only when you become a king and pass various preferential treatment bills for the slums, will it be possible to completely save those people."

"Otherwise, once the Roswaal family's wealth is exhausted, they will be completely eliminated by the world if they get used to your feeding, and they will lose their ability to find food on their own just like a domesticated pet dog. I hope you can really help me before that day. Save them."

Roswaal spoke.

This is the trap he planned. After letting Emilia see the tragic images of the slums, she will definitely use the resources of the Roswaal family to treat the slums. Once she has something to do with the slums, Emilia can't Simply let it go.

He took aim at Emilia's weakness in character...that is, she was too kind to set up this trap.

And in this way, no matter whether he is in Roswaal's mansion or not, Emilia can only continue on the road of king selection.

Although there is a high probability that the property of the Roswaal family will be lost in this way, for him, these assets are far less important than resurrecting his teacher... and the beloved lustful witch Echidna.

In order to achieve his long-cherished wish, he can easily give up everything, including his own life.

"I understand, I will find a way to save them."

Emilia nodded. After seeing so many tragic images, she has no time to guess the motives behind Roswaal. She just wants to help those who have been out of touch with society and abandoned by the world.

"Then I will take my leave first, and I wish you an early rescue of them from the sea of ​​suffering."

Roswaal rushed to Emilia, then flew directly into the air and disappeared in the north.

Emilia hurried back to Roswaal's mansion.

"Lord Emilia, do you have any requests for tonight's meal?"

As soon as she got back to the mansion, Frandelika greeted her.

"Leave dinner in advance, go to the bank to get fifty holy gold coins and follow me out."

Emilia ordered quickly.

"What happened to you all of a sudden? Why do you have to withdraw such a large amount of money at once?"

Frandelica looked at Emilia in surprise. Even for the great nobleman Roswaal, fifty holy gold coins is not a small amount, so she is obliged to ask the reason.

After all, although Emilia is a candidate supported by Roswaal, she is not the head of the Roswaal family.

"We are going to buy food and distribute it to people in the slums. Roswaal has urgent business to go to the north. Before leaving, he handed over everything in Roswaal to me, saying that I can use all resources to do what I plan to do. things."

Emilia explained.

"But the people in the slums are all thieves and criminals and whores||women..."

Regarding what Emilia was going to do, Faldelika reminded with a embarrassed face that she felt that Emilia was doing something extremely stupid.

This matter will undoubtedly consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but very little will be gained.

"I admit that there are indeed thieves, criminals, and prostitutes in the slums, but you can't kill everyone in the slums at once. I went to see them today. There are still many children and Old man, don’t they have the right to survive?”

"This..."

Frank Delica was silent, although she wanted to say that the matter of those people had nothing to do with her, but in good conscience, those children and old people must have done nothing wrong, and they were only reduced to the slums because of bad luck.

"You don't have to worry, Master Roswaal is also very supportive of my decision. If you don't believe me, you can form a soul contract with me to prove that I am not lying."

Emilia spoke.

The so-called soul contract is the safest and most reliable means in this world.

Once this kind of contract is made, there is absolutely no way to violate this contract, because once the person who breaks the contract will die on the spot.

She was able to raise this point, and she had already set herself up.

"No, no, I believe your words, but I just want to remind you that doing this kind of thing will not help you to participate in the king |||| election, but it may make your support in our area rate drops."

Frandelika reminded her.

"I will find a way to convince everyone. Please hurry up and execute my order. Every second, someone in the slums may starve to death because of our negligence."

Emilia said seriously.

"Okay, since this is the case, please wait a moment, I will go to the bank to withdraw money."

Frandelika bowed politely, then turned around and walked quickly to the depths of Roswaal's mansion.

After a while, Frandelica returned to Emilia with a small purse.

"Considering that you are going to distribute food to people in the slums, I think we need to prepare a truck."

Frank Delica spoke.

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you."

Emilia nodded. She is not very good at counting, so it is better to leave this kind of matter to Frank Delica.

"Understood, please go buy a dragon carriage with me earlier."

Frandelika then brought Emilia to the dragon cart shop in the capital and bought a dragon cart, and then bought the cheapest black bread in the bakery in the city.

However, since there is usually not such a huge demand for black bread in the city, after traveling all over the bakery in the capital, I only bought less than a quarter of the black bread of the truck, which is far from enough to feed the slums. poor people.

In desperation, Frandelika had to pay a part of the deposit and agreed with the bakery owner to continue baking a large amount of black bread, and then drove a dragon cart to the slum with the black bread she had bought.

The two had just driven the dragon cart into the slums, and they hadn't even started yet. The people around surrounded them with green lights in their eyes as if seeing a delicious prey.

"Everyone, please don't be so anxious, we are here to distribute relief food to you, I promise..."

Before Emilia could finish her sentence, several nimble children climbed onto the wheels and rolled into the cargo hold behind the dragon cart, picked up a few pieces of black bread and jumped out of the cart. Seeing the children robbing The surrounding adults also reached out to grab the black bread.

In less than 2 minutes, the black bread brought by Emilia and Frandelica was robbed.

The little boy who was the closest to the car and couldn't grab it started to cry sadly, while the adults clamored for Emilia to bring more bread.

"Little guy, don't cry, sister, I will bring more food, don't worry, everyone will be full."

Emilia reached out to touch the little boy's head and comforted him.

"Liar, you will never come again, I will starve to death! I am so hungry!!!!"

cried the little boy sadly.

"Then...then you go to the city with us, how about giving you some of the bread you bought later on the way first?"

Looking at the crying little boy, Emilia suddenly said at a loss.

"Okay!"

Hearing that there was something to eat, the little boy stopped crying immediately, but when the dozens of children around him saw that the child had something to eat, they also cried and climbed into the warehouse of the dragon cart, and there were even a few Two adults also planned to squeeze in, but under Parker's threatening ice pick, these adults still restrained their desires.

After all, there is only one life, and they don't want to die now.

Seeing the children who crowded the warehouse in the blink of an eye and the children who were still climbing on the wheels and trying to squeeze up, Emilia also had a headache to death.

If she brought such a large number of children into the city, the guards would not let her in, because there might be children with dirty hands and feet among them. In order to maintain the law and order in the capital, the guards would definitely not allow her to enter the city.

Just bring one or two and she can get some privileges as a king|||selector, but it is unrealistic to have a car with dozens of numbers.

But if she only brought the first child, she didn't know what excuse to get the other children out of the car.

Now she is caught in a dilemma.

On the other hand, Frandelika looked at the situation in front of her without saying a word. It is true that as long as she gets angry, she can scare these children off the dragon carriage, but she does not intend to do so.

After all, she herself did not support Emilia's distribution of food to the slums. After all, it was all the property of the Roswaal family.

In addition, this is a thankless thing, so this created a situation where she was silent on the sidelines.

Although she will not clearly violate Emilia's decision, she will not actively cooperate with Emilia's actions.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

When Emilia was at a loss for the status quo, Parker stood up, and then dozens of ice cones condensed from behind him.

After feeling Parker's strength, the previously noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and the children didn't dare to cry anymore.

"First of all, if you are all crowded in the car, then no one will be able to enter the capital to get food, because the guards will not let you enter the city, and you all know why, if you are all crowded here, everyone will be lost The scene of eating, so you go down first, and I promise Liya that I will come back with more food."

Parker spoke to the children in the car.

The children hesitated for a while, and finally got out of the car awkwardly. Only the first little boy who was allowed by Emilia looked at Emilia with pleading eyes.

Emilia looked at Parker with some embarrassment.

"Well, one, you can still bring it in."

Parker waved his cat's paw.

Although dissatisfied with Parker's decision, but looking at the ice pick behind Parker, the children in the slums finally gave up their plans to resist.

"Then, you adults, you guys are really too much. I saw a lot of people snatch three or four loaves of bread and leave. If you do this again when we bring bread back next time, I promise I will run through you with an ice pick." body."

"I sent food with Liya to give life-saving food to people who are about to starve to death, not for you to get food reserves from us!"

Parker announced murderously, the eyes of the people in the slum dodged for a while, and they took a step back.

"Now, you go and inform other people in the slum about this matter, we will bring bread||| come over later and don't loot it, otherwise we will never come again."

Parker spoke.

"Then, what if you lie to us and don't come this time?"

Someone who was dying of starvation and didn't grab the bread asked suspiciously. After all, Emilia and the others were his hope of survival, and he couldn't give up this opportunity.

"Liya is the No.40 Third Generation King of the Kingdom of Luknica|||candidate, will she break her promise because of such a small matter?"

Parker snorted coldly, since Emilia is planning to save the people in the slums, at least leave a name to let them remember Emilia's kindness.

It is necessary to turn the assets of the Roswaal mansion into fame and fortune.

Hearing that Emilia is the king|||chosen candidate, the people in the slums have some confidence and glory in their eyes.

"Is Lord Emilia planning to speak up for us?"

An old woman asked excitedly.

"Yes, if Emilia can become the king of the Kingdom of Luknica, she will let you all eat three hot meals a day sooner or later, so you can't live up to her kindness, be honest Really wait here, and when we get the food, we will collect it in an orderly manner, and we can't loot it all, otherwise Liya will be sad."
