In the early morning, in the cold and snowless winter, the foggy weather.

Looking from the sky, the huge magic city is still withered, and the population is much less than in previous years. Some houses are scorched black, and some houses have already turned into a white field. Such a scene is not seen in this city that has suffered from war Not uncommon.

Fortunately, wisps of cooking smoke are rising in the city. Although the crowds are still uneasy, they are much better than before when they were panicked and not human-like, and their faces have returned to ruddy, innocent children Their feelings came and went quickly, and the cheerful noise made the busy adults around smile.

Alva easily moved a large pile of stones and walked towards the dilapidated and low wooden house in front of him. The veins stood out on the strong and sturdy muscles, showing the strength of an adult man like a pillar. His wife is picking suitable stones and stacking them together a little further away, and his five-year-old son is playing with his companions.

The city of magic energy suffered a massacre, most of the people were killed, and many houses were burned down. After the coalition forces of the empire and the church retreated, the new adults with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin promulgated a law, and every resident returned home. Go to your own home and wait for the official personnel to confirm the registration. All houses that are confirmed to be unowned will be nationalized and distributed to residents who do not have or whose houses have been burned.

Alva's family was assigned to the dilapidated wooden house in front of them, and all the remaining things in it belonged to their family. Although it is a dilapidated wooden house, it is much better than the low shack in the slums of Alva's family. These two days, their family has been working on repairing the house.

Compared with Alva's family, which is in full swing and full of enthusiasm for the future, the neighbor Auston Dell's family is much quieter.

A gray and restless atmosphere enveloped the interior of the house, the cold wind roamed around the house casually, and the rain that just fell in the morning dripped on the ground, but no one paid attention to him.

The door was tightly covered, and Oston and his wife were lying on the bed in panic. Their youngest five-year-old daughter had already slipped out to play.

Auston looked like a fat man with small eyes and a rich face. Although the clothes on his body were dirty and tattered, he could barely tell that it was different from the rough linen of most of the neighbors around him, but real, soft cotton. "Auston, did you really tell those adults about our identities?

We are real nobles, and our families have served as tax collectors in the city of magic for generations, which is completely different from those lowly commoners.

We are nobler and more valuable, and without us the lowly and lowly poor would not be able to take the initiative to hand over the lord's benevolent taxes. "

Mrs. Alston has thick lips, the same weight and richness as her husband, which is relatively rare in this world where the extraordinary are superior and the non-extraordinary are willing to be cruelly exploited.

Of course, this is not a sin, and it may be due to differences in genes that even children from poor families may become obese.

Not to mention that even if he is guilty, it is also a crime in the era of the Magic Council. Whether it can be controlled until now is a matter of two opinions.

"That's right, I told that lord that I'm from the Del family, the Del family who have served as tax officials in the west of the city for generations."

Alston said weakly that although the new official food provided by the Magic City these days, it is far from comparable to the original Del's in terms of quantity and quality, and it is barely enough to survive. Get fatter.

"Then when can we change to a better house, which is similar to the one before, and there are servants, at least ten servants are needed. You can talk to that adult about it, it really won't work..."

Mrs. Alston gritted her teeth, and carefully pulled out a thumb-sized gold particle from her thick hair: "If you really can't do it, you can go and get it done, but you must make sure that the position of tax officer still belongs to our Del family. Can you get things done?"

Auston was startled, and straightened up suddenly: "Madam, do you still have this? At that time, the army of the empire and the church came too fast,

I don't even have time to hide things. "

"You can tell whether you can do it or not. With your ability and the gold that everyone loves, you can succeed no matter what."

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

There was a gleam of joy on Auston's face, and he quickly restrained himself, pacing back and forth by the bed: "The lord said that everyone is equal, and our family of three is allocated according to the regulations. This condition cannot be accommodated."

"ah!"

Mrs. Auston screamed: "How is it possible? How can we be equal to those lowly commoners, Auston, are you doing something wrong?"

"That's what the lord said. He didn't accept the dozens of silver coins I sent. Instead, I was warned once and told not to do it again."

"The devil, the greedy devil!"

Mrs. Alston gritted her teeth, and took out gold several times smaller than before from a certain part of her body, the fat on her face wrinkled in pain: "You have to go again, you have to take out the position of the tax officer. Take it back and let that greedy jackal choke to death."

Auston swallowed and said in shock, "Ma'am, we can't save so much money even if it takes decades."

Mrs. Alston turned her head and stopped looking at those lovely Jin Wowu: "Go, get out of here, don't let me see them again, and don't be preempted by others to get the position of tax officer."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Alston was also taken aback. Thinking of this possibility, he tidied up his dirty white robe, trying to restore himself to a decent image.

Auston paused at the door, and said with some hesitation: "Madam, if I still fail this time, we must start to repair our house. Both you and I will go to the disaster relief department to work.

Because I heard that starting today, the method of distributing food without compensation will be abolished and replaced by "replacement of free disaster relief with compensation for hard work". "

Mrs. Auston screamed and said hysterically: "No, it is absolutely impossible. It is absolutely impossible for me to do the work of those lowly commoners. Auston, if you fail, let me and Linna go to hell.

Get out, get out of here! "

"Yes, yes, ma'am."

Auston packed the two pieces of gold carefully, and fled outside quickly.

Oston, who arrived at the door, regained his majestic appearance, his head raised slightly, and he didn't even look at the people around him.

The posture is very skilled, but wearing a dirty cloth, like a beggar, the contrast between the two makes people laugh.

"Master Auston, good morning."

Alva saluted instinctively. He didn't know this gentleman before, but his enviable fat appearance and the cloth robe he wore all showed his noble status.

Not knowing why such a noble master lived with them, Alva didn't dare to think too much, if he offended this master, it would be a dead end.

"Hmph~, damn bitch, stay away from me."

Alva snorted coldly, frowned and took a step back. Alva, who had been working for a long time, had a strong smell of sweat that was unbearable.

"My lord, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Alva took a step back with fear on his face, not daring to look up at him a little bit.

In the place where they used to live, the master who wore common clothes once hanged a commoner who made a mistake because of a trivial incident.

"Master Lull has been arrested."

"The adults said they were going to kill him."

Auston and Alva were shocked at the same time, especially Auston.

Ron Bals is the well-known consul of the Magic City, responsible for managing everyone except the mages of the Magic City.

Even after those black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned gentlemen came, they still held important official positions in Magic City, which made Auston envious. This was one of the big shots he tried to visit just now, and he didn't want to hear such news now.

Thinking of this, Auston ignored Alva and followed the crowd to the front.
