Chapter 98 Red Wall
Chapter 98 Red Wall
The next day, Maria walked with her legs apart. Ash not only taught her in her dream, but also took her to practice it in reality in the morning.
This caught the attention of Martha, who had been paying attention to Maria. At first she thought something had happened to Maria, but after feeling the aura of the sun emanating from Maria, a hint of shock appeared in her eyes.
It's His Highness's presence! Did His Highness come here last night?
Martha couldn't resist her curiosity and sneaked into Maria's room while she was in church praying.
After some searching, Martha found a sheet that had not been washed yet.
Martha sniffed with her pretty nose, and then two strong and different aromas rushed into her nose, and then turned into a heat.
Covering her burning belly, Martha's face immediately turned red and her legs began to rub against each other uncontrollably, which scared her so much that she immediately threw the sheets away.
What a strong aphrodisiac scent!
Martha used her magic power to cast a spell on herself, forcing herself to calm down. Although they all smelled unfamiliar, she was sure that one of the scents came from His Highness.
The other force probably came from that nun.
"She is naturally charming and fragrant. No wonder His Highness favors her."
Martha's thoughts flashed through her mind, but what concerned her more was how Maria met Ash, after all, they were now thousands of miles apart.
Martha was still very sure about this. After all, Silver Moon Quetzalcoatl was quite accomplished in the field of space. It was just that her strength was weak, otherwise she could have directly teleported to Ash through her bloodline.
Martha continued to search Maria's room, but still couldn't find anything related to it, so she had no choice but to leave and prepare to observe again at night.
Natan, Ash took a look at a newly refreshed series of achievements.
{Achievement: [8th Night] Completed, Reward: Achievement Points*}
{Activate achievement [Night 100]: Complete deep sleep 365/ times at night.}
Taking a deep breath, Ash used his authority to replenish his energy and continued running around the city wall. He could only complete the "Hundred Thousand Miles" in a few days.
After all, his strength and endurance become more abnormal as his level increases.
At Ash Breakfast Shop, Kanda spent two copper coins to buy a bowl of porridge.
After the Cheko rebels occupied Natan, it brought great changes to his life, but they were not good changes, but bad changes.
The shop where he used to work was owned by a white person. It was looted on the day of the uprising, and no one knew where the manager had gone.
Just like that, he became an unemployed vagrant. If it were just like that, it would be fine. After all, he had plenty of strength and there would be no shortage of work wherever he went.
But since the class system was established, people like him have been exploited like real animals.
Endless taxes to pay and endless labor service to perform quickly depleted his somewhat modest assets.
He had to grit his teeth to scrape together coins to drink porridge here. Without the porridge here, he would probably die of exhaustion this winter.
Valentine was still busy serving porridge to customers. After the war, his business was not only not affected, but became even better.
The reason why things got better was because the porridge here was cheap.
Affected by the rebellion, prices in the city began to soar, and the price of rice changed every day.
However, Ash had already anticipated this scene, so he stockpiled a large amount of rice and some ingredients early on.
On the day of the uprising, the whole city was in chaos. Who knows how many people took advantage of the situation and made a fortune.
But those masters were not happy about it. In their opinion, these were all their wealth and property, how could they let a group of mud men (also known as "untouchables") take them away.
Hence the current situation of soaring prices. Food is still being delivered, but the masters are controlling the sales and reducing the prices in order to absorb the lost wealth back.
Although he had hoarded rice, Ash didn't think highly of this little bit of money, so he asked Valentine to sell it at the original price.
For this reason, he cooked twice as much porridge every day and asked Valentine to sell it. After all, four buckets a day were not enough. The people who manipulated the rice price would definitely not sit still for the market-destroying behavior of Ashu Breakfast Shop, but after a large number of people died inexplicably, and even a Noko, no one dared to cause trouble anymore.
Everyone knows that this small shop has the support of a powerful person. In addition, the influence of Ashu's breakfast shop is not very large, so no one dares to make trouble. No one will go against their own life, especially for a little money.
After Kanda finished his porridge, he put the wooden bowl into the wooden barrel and walked towards the city gate. Today was another day of hard labor.
From the city gate to the Sun Palace, on a winding line, each laborer carried a stone and moved forward.
Seen from above, these laborers looked like ants, carrying "food" to the Sun Palace.
In the Sun Palace, on a large cleared square, a giant stone sculpture nearly a hundred meters high is slowly taking shape.
The laborers piled up the blocks one by one, and a wizard beside them cast the spell of turning stone into mud and mud into stone, fusing the blocks together.
Then, one by one, the painters were directed to color.
The statue has now taken shape, resembling a six-winged golden feathered serpent, but if you look closely, you can see a snake carved in every crevice on its body.
The horns are not the deer horns like the original Quetzalcoatl's crown, but slightly curved, unforked horns. Combined with the carved face, they do not have the slightest sacred aura, but instead have a sense of ferocity.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
The supervisor waved a whip, lashing the laborers who were a little slow in their movements. His fleshy face showed no worry about the slow progress of the project, but rather a look of satisfaction.
Obviously, he was just looking for an excuse to enjoy torturing others at will.
boom!
A civilian fell accidentally and a stone hit his toe, breaking it into two pieces.
The laborers were wailing in pain, but the overseer not only did not show any sympathy, but instead whipped them.
"Get up, bugs. We worked so hard to overthrow the white people, but for you. How can you be so lazy that you can't even do a small thing and dare to waste our resources!"
The whip was swung fiercely, leaving bloody marks on the civilian's body.
The laborer looked young and had a strong temper. He could no longer bear the whipping and actually picked up a broken stone and threw it at the supervisor, shouting:
"Bullshit! We begged you to overthrow the white people! Even white people wouldn't exploit us like this!"
"Hey, you dare to resist and speak for the white people!" The supervisor slapped the stone thrown at him away, then with a gloomy face, he whipped the laborer even harder.
Even if the laborer got angry, he was no match for the supervisor and ended up falling off the stone platform.
The supervisor looked down and saw that the laborer had hit his head on a rock and was obviously dead.
"Tsk, you got it for free!" The supervisor curled his lips, looked at the other laborers, and shouted, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and get to work!"
The laborers lowered their heads, not daring to look at the supervisors, their hearts filled with sadness.
It is better not to have such a coup.
Under the stone platform, the young civilian looked at his blood merging into the red wall below with blurry eyes. He suddenly understood why the wall under the Sun Palace was red.
It was stained red with the blood and flesh of civilians like him in the past.
Oh God, when will our true Savior come?
With a sigh in his heart, the young man completely lost his breath.
