Honkai Biography - Vol 8 Chapter 130
“Oh my God! It’s him! I’ve heard of him, he’s a great, energetic young man. With you, his future is boundless. I must visit him later and give him a gift. Some small gifts, wishing him a speedy recovery.”
In fact, Viscount Raymond had never heard of Knight Aaron at all. He must be the second son of a little-known nobleman.
“Hehe, this is his honor, then I will thank the Viscount for Aaron, you are really kind.” Marquis Ash didn’t mind this, because Aaron’s leg was really broken.
At 18 o’clock in summer, the sun has not yet recovered its dazzling rays, and there is no sign of setting the mountain. The breeze brought a little coolness and fresh breath of flowers and trees, and also blew away a trace of the smell of Raymond.
Nature still takes good care of human beings.
“I have heard people say what happened to you recently, and I deeply sympathize with this. I will personally lead the army to help you regain your assets. Personal wealth is inviolable. This is my duty as a marquis. .” Yaxiu said in a serious and serious manner without beating around the bush.
He believed that Viscount Raymond had already guessed that he had learned of the other party’s experience and intentions, so it would be better to speak directly, so as not to appear so hypocritical.
Raymond’s heart skipped a beat, and then he exaggeratedly praised: “Oh, thank the Marquis for your integrity, bravery and selflessness, your noble qualities are really a model for nobles, and it is worth learning from. But… just a group of witches, where is it? Do you need the Marquis to go out in person? You only need to lend me a few knights and two hundred soldiers.”
If Yaxiu led the army, then Raymond was afraid that he would not be able to get the group of beautiful witches, and this reason was secondary.
If he can’t lead the army to take revenge in person, his reputation will be even worse.
“No, no, I’m still going. I will personally bring them back to the church for trial, to wash away their sins, and to make them repent from the bottom of their hearts and know that what they’ve done is wrong. Viscount Raymond, Don’t forget, I’m also a bishop.”
How could Ashiya not go? Although it is a little troublesome, it is also an honor and a good talk to lead the army in person, uphold justice, and help the nobles next door to regain the wealth from the evil witch.
Even if the honor is not great, I heard that the other party only has more than 20 people, but he is not too troublesome.
And he especially hates the Viscount in front of him. He believes that soon, the story of the “stupid fat man with a cowardly waste” will spread among the nobles and become a joke after dinner. He doesn’t mind changing the Viscount Raymond in the story. Sounds more cowardly.
“This… well, hehe, the Marquis is really meticulous in his work, so I will trouble you.”
Although he was full of resentment and resentment towards the witches, Raymond couldn’t think of any excuse or reason to persuade the Marquis not to go. The other party agreed to send troops to help him regain his wealth, which has already given him a lot of face, so It’s better to promise first, and then think of a way later.
“Haha, thank the Viscount for your understanding. Don’t you and I stand stupidly at the door, please! In the afternoon, I heard from my subordinates at Aaron’s house that you were here, and specially ordered the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner.” Ash Make a “please” gesture.
“Haha, thank you Marquis for your concern, please go first.” Raymond laughed.
Yaxiu was no longer polite and walked into his house first, followed by Raymond.
A knight under the marquis brought Ash’s beloved horse back to the stable, and he didn’t need to wait for the adults’ orders.
After eating a sumptuous dinner and instructing the servants to send the drunk stinky Viscount to the residence, the sky was approaching late at night.
During the period, a very unpleasant thing happened. A rare yellow-brown rat sprang out of nowhere and ran into the house.
Of course, Raymond was very happy when he saw this. It turned out that there were mice in the Marquis Mansion. For the first time, he felt that the “thief” who was stealing food was so cute.
Late at night, the moon and stars are rare.
An old butler, who was equally handsome and well-dressed, came to the study.
In the study, next to the oil lamp.
Ash was rubbing his right hand vigorously, rubbing the hand that Raymond shook.
“Have you figured it out?” the Marquis asked without raising his head.
“It’s clear, sir.” The old butler nodded and said slowly, “The knights under the Viscount also said the same thing, the witch in black robe didn’t take action, just glanced at them, and their hearts suddenly emerged. Feeling remorse, shame and other emotions, all of them fell to the ground involuntarily, crying bitterly, repenting for the bad things they had done in the past.”
The Marquis stopped washing his hands, frowned, raised his head and asked, “Is there such a thing? Have you heard of this ‘trick’?”
“I’ve never heard of it, maybe some kind of psychedelic drug was used, plus some hints of action.” The old butler paused and said, “It’s also possible that the Viscount colluded with his subordinates, deliberately exaggerating, using the witch’s strange ability To make them appear less embarrassed, timid and incompetent.”
Yaxiu nodded, looked at the oil lamp, didn’t speak, and didn’t know what he was thinking.
There was silence in the dimly lit room for a while,
After a while, Yaxiu regained his senses and asked again, “Who is in charge of the hygiene of the restaurant? How could rats get in?”
“Lucy.”
“You should know what to do, right?”
“I know, I have already ordered someone to deal with it.”
“That’s good, her body should be disposed of well, don’t let me see it, it will stain my eyes.”
“Yes.”
Marquis Ash may seem kinder, kinder, more upright, and brave than Viscount Raymond… His reputation is indeed better, but, as Raymond sees it, this Marquis is definitely crueler than himself.
After all, in his domain, there are no beggars.
In other words, not even a beggar can survive.
And why did the second son, Knight Aaron’s leg break?
In the current society with low productivity and ignorant and backward civilization, it is unimaginable for ordinary people to keep the manpower, material resources, and financial resources required to keep the house and even the city clean and tidy.
The consumption of water resources alone is an astronomical amount every day.
The city of Rhinena is indeed full of “devils”, but there is only one “devil”, but this one alone makes the city full of “devils”.
Yaxiu didn’t care about the life of the maid named “Lucy”, and was not afraid of being known. It was normal for a maid to die in the huge marquis’s house, and it would not have any impact on his reputation.
Moreover, there are many reasons why the maid should be damned. For example, she poisoned her dinner and wanted to poison the Viscount and the Marquis.
If you want to add a crime, why bother? I believe that the experienced old housekeeper will handle this matter well.
In Ash’s opinion, that maid should have died, because she didn’t do her job well, let the mouse slip in, and let him lose face in front of the disgusting Raymond pig.
In this world bubble, only the lives of nobles are life, because only nobles are people and have human rights.
Therefore, even if Ash hates Viscount Raymond very much and wishes that Raymond died, but for his selfless and noble reputation, when the Viscount shamelessly asks for help, he will endure the disgust to entertain the other party and send troops to help other side.
If Raymond were a civilian, he might not even be able to walk in front of Ash, and Ash wouldn’t be able to choose to help him.
Therefore, even if the mistake made by the Lucy maid is not big, but if he wants the other party to die, the other party must die, because no one’s eyes will be placed on a little maid, let alone justice for her.
The oil lamp in the study was burning steadily, and the two people in the room looked very gentlemanly, but the shadows on the walls were drawn slender and indifferent.
After a moment of silence, the Marquis, who was still rubbing his right hand, seemed to have thought of something, and then said, “Let’s send someone to collect some evidence that the stupid pig has committed crimes before, which may be useful in the future.”
“Yes.”
The gentle old butler saluted, and then exited the study, not forgetting to close the door.
…
the next afternoon,
Viscounty of Tournell, by the beautiful Saugaville River.
Kiana, Bianca and Raiden Mei are leading the commoners in the nearby village to fish.
Since the girls saw the daily life of commoners and slaves, they began to miss tea, food, and sleepless nights, even the heartless Qiana.
No way, people are living in such a miserable life. Most people today, people with conscience, can’t bear it when they see it, and they may try to do what they can.
“Flowers” living in a comfortable environment may not be able to imagine this life full of darkness, hunger, disease, numbness, no hope, and no future.
for instance:
According to Rita, the death rate of noble children in this world is more than half, and there is no relevant written statistics on the death rate of commoners and slave children, but it will definitely be worse.
This is only the death rate of noble children, and there are no statistics on how many women died due to dystocia.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as low medical level, poor sanitation, malnutrition caused by low living standards, premature births, frequent wars, diseases and plagues, natural disasters, being beaten to death, etc. .
However, despite the heartache and unbearableness, the girls don’t know what to do and what is the right thing to do. Kiana thought hard for a few days, and finally decided to go fishing in the river and improve the food for the commoners.
They all know that “it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish”, but with their current conditions and abilities, they are still unable to “teach a man to fish”, so they have to give a “fish” first.
Can you help a little bit! They had nothing to do anyway, Rita had not yet deciphered the text, and the related plans had not yet begun.
It’s a pity that Kiana’s kindness was regarded as “donkey liver and lungs”.
It was said that he was leading the villagers to fish, but in fact, there were not many villagers beside the three of Qiana. Not counting them, there were only 6 people in total, and all of them were skinny, trembling, and dry skin due to excessive A person who was tanned by hard work, but was about to starve to death, could not survive, had no wife and children, and was desperate for the future life.
As long as the villagers could survive, they would not dare to follow them to fish, not because they were afraid of water, but because they were afraid that Viscount Raymond would be blamed.
Everything in the territory belongs to the private wealth of the Viscount, and naturally it also includes the fish in the river. Without permission, they fish and eat it without permission. If they are found, they will be killed.
Because this kind of behavior is encroaching on the property of the Lord, even if in Raymond’s opinion, a fish is worthless at all, and it is optional to him, so he can completely ignore it.
However, whether you want it or not, and whether others invade it or not are two different things.
If you are unlucky and the Viscount does not go your way, it doesn’t matter if you steal the fish and get killed. The family members may be labeled as “tricksters”. Maybe the descendants can’t even be civilians. Become a slave who can never stand up or turn over.
The quality of life of commoners is much better than that of slaves. At least, they are nominally human, have human rights, and are free.
Of course, only in name.
Although the Viscount was driven away by these beautiful girls, the villagers knew that he was not dead and would come back for revenge, so no one dared to fish.
Whoever walks close to them will end up miserably.
There are even many villagers who maliciously speculate that these girls may be devils in human skins, who specially use seemingly kind behaviors to harm their lives.
If it weren’t for the devil, why would it be so beautiful? Even better than the eldest ladies of the nobles.
If it weren’t for the devil, how could it be possible to beat the Viscount away with those tiny arms and legs? The Viscount’s castle is magnificent and strong.
If it wasn’t the devil, why would you show kindness to them? They are not familiar with them.
Why is it good for us? Must be hurting us!
Yes, that’s right! Absolutely!
On the surface, it is good intentions, but behind the scenes it is to kill! The priest once said that evil devils like to harvest people’s lives and taste them.
There are not one or two commoners and slaves who have similar ideas, but there are many. After everyone else, it can even be said to be all of them, including the six who were fishing with Qiana and the three of them.
Why do people in this parallel world bubble think like this?
Because they do not know what is called “benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust”, do not know what is called resistance and what is called struggle, they have never seen the brilliance of human nature, and have never heard of heroes who are civilians or slaves. Deeds, only ignorance and ignorance.
Because the nobles have never looked at them with their eyes, no one treats them well, no one treats them as human beings, they are only the property of the lord, so they will not take themselves as human beings, even if they say they are commoners, say I am a human being, and I say that I have personal freedom.
It is also because, since birth, they have always lived in dire straits, and they are unaware of it, don’t know, can’t think of it, and have never experienced a better, brighter, and more hopeful life.
A person with a good reputation may not be a good person, but may be a “devil” secretly, and a person who is misunderstood as a “devil” due to partiality may be the real good person.
People are always so blind and superficial, with innate prejudices that cannot be changed.
Under the scorching sun, the broad Saugaville River is clear and rippling, like a transparent veil winding on the land of the countryside, without seeing the source and end at a glance, a river surface has both wild and demure characters. In some places it looks like the water is flowing rapidly, in others it is still flowing.
The originally clear and clear river water became a little turbid due to the fishing behavior of the three of Kiana.
After catching the fish, Bianca, with her hair in a single ponytail, sat on a simple “boat” in the center of the river. She was wearing a waterproof combat uniform, but she rolled up her arms, rolled up her trousers, and bare feet. Holding a harpoon made of soul steel that can be deformed at will, he slapped the water with the harpoon bored, and silently watched Miss Kiana who ran to the river bank not far away.
They didn’t let the six villagers who looked weak and were about to starve to fish into the water. What if they drowned?
They weren’t really stupid either, they could probably guess how the villagers viewed them.
Therefore, Bianca’s heart is actually very uncomfortable and a little confused.
What are they doing this for?
Sure enough, in terms of mentality, you have to look at the eldest lady!
Kiana is still so lively and enthusiastic. Even though she knows that she may be regarded as a devil that everyone fears, she still does not mind and takes the trouble to teach the villagers how to cook fish soup and how to eat fish. Mindset, Bianca is a little envious of it.
This kind of mentality is not to cater to, not to be “the Virgin”, or to pity each other, but really don’t mind what others think of you.
Stupid people say whatever they want, think whatever they want, it’s none of my business.
What Kiana wants to do, what she wants to do, has nothing to do with other people’s opinions of her, goodwill or malice.
Kind of like… heartless?
Not at all.
Due to the language barrier and the inconvenience of communication~www.mtlnovel.com~ Miss Kiana’s every move looks a bit silly.
She’s trying to tell people to eat less, eat more slowly.
Because people who are about to starve to death, all organs in the body are in a relatively fragile state. If you eat too much or too oily food at one time, the food will stimulate the sudden changes in the body’s hormone organs, the body will not be able to adapt, and will die faster. .
They are there to save people, not to kill them.
They are not stupid and will not blindly allow “good intentions to do bad things” to happen.
Of course, Miss Kiana’s behavior might make the six villagers incomprehensible.
Bianca can guess what they are thinking at the moment:
Why let us eat, but not let us eat more?
Sure enough, even in the eyes of the devil, we don’t deserve to drink fish soup.
Sure enough, they are seeking our lives and induce our souls to fall!
For the devil, is the life of the fallen soul more delicious? Is it more delicious than fish soup?
The breeze was blowing and the waves were sparkling, and the river water gradually returned to its clear appearance. Contrary to human beings, it is difficult for human beings to return to their original appearance after they grow up, unless they have never changed.
Bianca put her feet in the water, a little cold.
“Yi, you said… Do people in this world live so miserably because they don’t have the ability to collapse?”
Ya Yi pondered for a while, then shook her head: “I think it’s because of… ignorance, and… the lack of a few… real wise men and heroes.”
Those who have changed the world are not understood by the people of the time, it is too normal.
But it is precisely because they don’t care, or in other words, that they can change the world and become heroes in the mouths of later generations.
