"Come on, Merlin."

Leia sighed.

"I'm not interested in staying in this city anymore."

"Where are we going next?" The girl called "Merlin" by Liya asked Liya this way while following her closely.

"... go to pandragon." Leia whispered, "I haven't seen my friends living in pandragon for a long time..."

"Friend... You mean Su Cheng?" Merlin chuckled.

"What friends can I have besides him?"

……

……

Leia and Merlin walked side by side on the way out of town.

Almost all cities have such a structure - the closer they are to the city center, the more prosperous they are. It is a place where people with money, power and power live together.

They are well-dressed. Since Ilsa launched the foreign merger war, they can always hear some words like "long live the British Empire" and "unify the mainland quickly".

The closer it is to the center of the city, the more prosperous it is, and the more it is away from the center of the city, the less it is.

As Leia and Merlin gradually moved away from the city center, the buildings on both sides of the street began to change gradually.

From the beginning, there were magnificent houses on both sides of the street, which gradually became ordinary low houses.

The appearance of people walking on the street is also changing gradually.

The mental outlook of the people here is almost the opposite of that of the group in the city center.

The most obvious difference is that you won't hear anything eulogizing the war and the war waging British Empire here.

The people here are just walking quickly in the street with a dull look.

The man dressed by the craftsman, carrying his toolbox, looked hurried.

Some street vendors shouted hard, hoping to sell more goods today.

Several middle-aged people walked into a simple tavern without expression. It seems that they intend to have a moment of happiness in the tavern

……

Everyone in this street is running for their own lives.

Just then, Leia and Merlin heard bursts of painful crying from the next street.

Feeling a little curious, Leia winked at Merlin and led Merlin to the next street.

After arriving at the next street, Leia learned that there was a funeral procession passing through the street.

Although it is said to be a funeral team, the number of people in this team is pitifully small, including those responsible for carrying coffins. There are only less than 10 people in total.

At first glance, we can see that this funeral team is not a professional funeral team. It should be a temporary team formed by casually looking for some relatives and friends to fill in.

After the funeral procession carrying a black coffin, an old woman followed.

The old woman kept wailing and crying - the cry she had just heard came from the old woman.

Because the old woman cried so much that she couldn't even stand still, so two people needed to help her go all the time.

The old woman's grief stricken cry naturally attracted many people, including Leia.

These people gathered on both sides of the street, threw emotional eyes at the funeral team and talked in a low voice.

Thanks to these people's conversation, Leia gradually understood what was going on with the funeral team.

"The old woman cried so badly... I was worried if she would cry and faint..."

"Can you stop crying? The man lying in the coffin is her only son. "

"Ah... The only son died... No wonder he cried so miserably..."

"How did her son die? Died of illness? "

"I know them... They belong to the Gardner family... I've heard about them. Because the old woman's only son was poor, he decided to go to the army and rely on military pay to support his family."

"As a result, her son just ran to become a soldier. The first battle of his life was the great defeat - the first war of the destruction of the holy Hiram empire."

"Although he finally succeeded in returning to the British Empire alive, he was seriously injured and could no longer be a soldier."

"After being forced to withdraw from the army and sent home, her son has been lying in bed to recover from his injuries."

"But no matter how many doctors come, they can't cure her son."

"It seems that her son died of serious injury..."

"What a pity..."

"I heard that - they were already very poor. In order to cure her son, they spent the last savings of the family. Even the money for this coffin was borrowed from others. "

"Huh? Her son was seriously injured on the battlefield. Don't those officials give him a pension? "

"Here, of course. But where is the pension enough? In order to cure her son's injury, the pension was spent early in the morning. "

"Alas... What a pity... The only son not only died, but also carried a lot of debt..."

"If it were me, I might not want to live..."

"The old lady must regret letting her son run to join the army now..."

"I heard that part of the reason why her son chose to be a soldier was because he worshipped Su Cheng. Like Su Cheng, he became a famous hero with military merit and earned countless money and power."

"Oh, there aren't many such young people."

"These young people are really naive... Su Cheng has been a genius in the British Empire for so many years."

"Yes, how many soldiers can reach Su Cheng's realm? Many soldiers as like as two peas of the Soviet Union are just like the old man's son.

"My son also told me that he worshipped Su Cheng and wanted to be a soldier and become a hero like Su Cheng in the future. After hearing his words, without saying a word, I slapped him and warned him not to be a soldier in such a muddle."

"If you do well, you should slap these innocent young people and let them wake up."

"I will never let my children become soldiers."

"From another point of view, the glorious image of heroes like Su Cheng is really harmful. Although this is also closely related to the propaganda of those officials. "

"Those officials only publicized the honor of these heroes, only showed them their bright side, attracted countless people, and began to decide to imitate and plan to become the next such hero."

"Until I rushed into the army and entered the battlefield, I found that the back of these bright sides was so unbearable..."

……

These people who were chatting hotly did not find that two girls were standing behind them all the time.

No one found their existence, and no one found out when they left
