Soul Echo

Zhong Ye didn't stay in Scupi for too long, and he had plenty of rest in Serdica.

This time, he no longer follows a caravan, the novelty of being a mercenary has passed, and he will embark on the journey alone.

Scupi doesn't seem to have any players, at least he didn't see any suspected players in the two days he stayed in Scupi, and he didn't know if they were still struggling at the spawn point, or had given up early. swim.

After Scupi... Belgrade.

Finger drawn a line on the map, Zhong Ye looked at the map and gently took a deep breath.

The distance is quite far, and it will take at least half a month to walk there.

——This time is not following the caravan, but traveling alone, and the speed can be much faster.

Zhong Ye rolled up the map, put back the luggage, took the reins of the pack horse, and started walking.

He ran on the road with his horse, and the carriages and pedestrians passing by looked at him like a madman.

After the pack horse got used to it, Zhong Ye let go of the reins and let the pack horse 'jog' behind him.

Without his own weight, the horse can relax, and he can exercise all the way to Belgrade. With his current recovery ability and muscle strength, he can completely compress the stroke to less than ten days.

The elemental energy enters the body with the breath, is wrapped in the blood and flows into the limbs and bones, constantly stimulating the cells, making it move towards a more powerful evolution.

The road at the foot of the road has gradually become uneven from flat and wide. Many dirt bumps lie quietly on the road. Life force and tenacious weeds burrow out from the ground, from sparse to lush, representing Zhong Ye stepping into the road. the wilderness.

There is no road ahead, only the tracks of the wheels and horseshoes.

Starting from Skupee in the morning, before noon, Zhong Ye had to stop and rest - it wasn't that he couldn't run, but the horse couldn't run.

After drinking and feeding, Zhong Ye took the reins again, led the horse to walk slowly, and took out the Compass to identify the direction.

Not long after walking, he suddenly saw several small black dots appearing in the distance, and they were approaching his direction.

Wait a little closer, Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, but found that it was a team, and it was huge.

Thinking for a moment, Zhong Ye turned on his horse and slammed his heel into the horse's belly.

After getting close, Zhong Ye found that the guards were well-equipped, all of them were riding a horse, wearing chain mail, and carrying a musket on their backs, not to mention mercenaries, ordinary nobles. The army is impossible so rich.

A cavalry suddenly ran out of the line and ran towards Zhong Ye.

Seeing this, Zhong Ye took the reins and slowed down the horse.

“Who you are? Adventurer?”

The cavalry stopped at a suitable distance and asked from a distance.

At this distance, if the enemy charges him, he can shoot with the call, even if he can't kill the enemy, he can buy time to escape.

Zhong Ye also answered loudly: "Yes! I just left Skupee, what's the matter with you? I saw a lot of people in those cars!"

The cavalry He was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the team that was left behind by him, startled.

——So far away, you can still see a lot of people in their car?

The cavalry looked serious, standing opposite him was a powerhouse, even if it was just an adventurer, it was not something he could provoke.

"We are the army of King Your Majesty, responsible for protecting the self-reliant refugees to the Eastern Province!"

Speaking of this, the cavalry can't help but puff out his chest and his voice is loud : "We want to regain the land we have lost for a long time!"

Gather refugees and petty criminals from all regions of the country to open up the wilderness between the Lower Eastern Province and the occupied areas, and expand the area of ​​farming At the same time, it solves the problems of survival and life of some people.

Zhong Ye only heard that Amos mentioned this matter, and was not particularly impressed.

demonhunter does not oppose this policy, even Amos said when he talked about this matter that he only had an opinion on the king of Etrul personally, and did not talk to their demonhunter when he made the decision By chi, an indifferent expression of the policy itself.

Because Amos himself doesn't understand politics, he doesn't understand society, and he doesn't know what this policy can bring people, so he never commented on it.

And after Zhong Ye knew a little about the situation in the Etrull Kingdom, he thought it was a gamble.

The king of Etrull is making a big bet, and the chips are his own throne-if he wins the bet, Etrull can get the opportunity to develop and progress in the next industrial revolution, If the bet is lost, his rule may collapse.

Speaking of the first industrial revolution, the most well-known thing is probably 'the sheep can eat people'.

The enclosure movement completed the primordial capital accumulation for Britain. Even if this capital accumulation is brutal and bloody, it cannot be denied that it has played a role in Britain's entry into capitalism and the advancement of the industrial revolution.

Skupi exists in a steel factory, and in the relatively remote eastern province, Zhong Ye also saw a textile factory, indicating that the industrial revolution in Etrull has reached a certain stage.

Before the commoners had the help of the church, they would not be plundered by capital, but as a leader, the nobles have a hundred legal and legal ways to get the commoners’ farmland, orchards and hunting grounds and drive them all away into the factory.

If the aristocrats and wealthy businessmen could barely endure it in the previous stage, now, when factories are being built continuously and require a lot of manpower, they can no longer restrain their greed and use the most Farmers, hunters and even adventurers were driven into factories in brutal and bloody ways.

Capital can let them reach out to other territories, other countries, and let them have more power.

After tasting this sweet taste, the aristocracy has been impossible to turn back and become a remote landlord, and the feudal monarch, as the embodiment of the spirit of the aristocracy, the King of Etruscan impossible to go against the whole aristocracy The will of the class, so the enclosure movement is bound to unfold - even if there is no 'sheep cannibalism', there will be 'ore cannibalism' and 'steel cannibalism'.

But unlike Earth's British Kingdom, Etrull still has a wilderness to develop. When the king uses the righteousness of 'taking back the land', even the most reluctant nobles will take those temporarily lost. The landless peasants and homeless people who were placed everywhere were handed over to him.

Looking at the team in the distance, Zhong Ye seemed to see a battle that could not be placed on the surface.

After sighing in his heart, Zhong Ye nodded to the cavalry, took the initiative to move out of the way, and bypassed the convoy.

The cavalry waved gratefully, then turned their horses and ran back to the convoy.

Zhong Ye passed the team by mistake, the sudden wind lifted a corner of the tarpaulin, he happened to look over, and immediately saw a group of men, women and children with numb expressions.

They were huddled together in a car like a consignment.

The car was so crowded that they couldn't stretch their legs, and their clothes were ragged, and their only belongings were tightly held in their arms - even by looking, Zhong Ye could see them It used all the strength of the whole body.

The wind was not strong, so the tarpaulin only flew for a moment, but that startling glance also made Zhong Ye have a clear comprehension.

Those commoners are just a 'tool' for the aristocracy and for the king.

Their wishes are not important at all, because there is no strength and courage to resist, they can only be slaughtered by others, so there is no confusion, only numbness.

It was in stark contrast to the cavalry who talked and laughed.

Zhong Ye sighed, let the packhorses slow down.

He got off the horse and fed it some fine grains and fresh water.

Fortunately, he had learned how to find water resources from other adventurers when he followed the caravan before.

After the pack horse had enough rest, Zhong Ye patted the horse's neck and ran.

Running can relieve the depression in his heart. He has no ability to change these things for the time being, so he can only relieve stress in this way.

[You have received a mission message, please check it as soon as possible]

While running, a projection popped up.

Zhong Ye didn't stop, and while running, she gathered her thoughts and opened the task panel.

[You have obtained the quest clue of 'Plague Buster: Connection'. This quest is a limited-time quest, please go to the city shown on the map as soon as possible, the remaining time of the quest: 15 days]

If It wasn't that this message came suddenly, Zhong Ye almost forgot that the task he had completed in Resta had a follow-up part.

A map of Etrull is also posted under the mission information. Zhong Ye looked at the map and compared the map of demonhunter. He was surprised to find that the name of the city was—

"...Belgrade."
