Chapter 20 The Corner Abandoned by the God of Light

Matthew noticed Henry's contempt for him, but instead of getting angry, he touched his nose in embarrassment.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Matthew said:
"Your Highness Sean, speaking of dwarves, there is a joke about dwarves circulating in Wellness City, would you like to hear it?"

Sean didn't want to hear any jokes, he was only interested in talking about the increase in experience points of the Church of the Holy Light.

But Sean also noticed the little friction between Henry and Matthew. In order to save face for Matthew, Sean said, "A joke about dwarves? Let's hear it."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This joke is very popular among the people of Welness. You may not have heard of it after living in the capital for a long time. This joke goes like this:

A dwarf came to a tavern with a parrot. As soon as he entered the tavern, the bartender asked, "How did you find this guy?" '

Before the dwarf had time to speak, the parrot standing on his shoulder answered first: 'Dwarf plateau!It's all over the place. '"

"Haha." Sean was amused by Matthew's joke, "Matthew, have you ever been to Wellness City?"

"Of course." Matthew straightened his back and said proudly, "Not only Wellness, but I have also been to many countries, from the 'Sand Sculpture Country' in the north to the Principality of Ryan in the south. My footprints."

Matthew's eyes looked into the distance, showing nostalgia, as if recalling the days when he wandered around.

"Wait! 'The Kingdom of Sand Sculptures'? What is that place?" Sean asked hastily.

The country of sand sculptures?The name is too...emmm
. . . . . .

Matthew saw that Sean suddenly became excited. Although he didn't understand the reason for Sean's excitement, he still patiently explained: "

"The Country of Sand Sculptures" refers to the Sunflower Principality in the northwest of the Anjou Kingdom (the Ryan Principality is in the southwest of the Anjou Kingdom, and the Sunflower Principality is in the northwest, but the two countries do not border each other). The Sunflower Principality is poor in geology. More than half of the country's land is covered by desert.

Due to the climate, the capital of the Principality of Sunflower has ample dew at night, so the sand is also very humid.

The local residents had fun and carved various sculptures out of the wet sand, and then the trend spread to the entire Sunflower Principality.

Therefore, Anru people like to call the Principality of Sunflower the 'Country of Sand Sculptures'. "

"Haha, so that's the case." Sean laughed out loud, the name is really interesting.

Matthew was also confused when he saw Xiao En's smile, he was not telling a joke, why did His Royal Highness Xiao En laugh?

Matthew shook his head, and continued to tell Sean the various anecdotes he had heard and seen around the world.

. . . . . .

Matthew is very good at telling stories, and Sean listens with great interest, and the time flies by in the chat.

After driving the carriage for more than ten minutes, Sean found that the carriage suddenly became bumpy.

Of course, the carriage was also bumped just now, but it could only be considered a slight bump. Now the entire carriage was shaking up and down, which was considered a violent bump.

Sean looked out through the car window, the road was not only potholed but also full of debris, no wonder the carriage bumped so violently.

Butler Henry saw Sean looking out the window, and explained: "Your Highness Sean, now we have arrived at the slums in the south of the city. The roads here have been in disrepair all year round, so some bumps are normal."

"Is this the slum?" Sean looked through the car window and began to look at the slums in this different world.

. . . . . .

Compared with the civilian areas, the houses in the slums are more dilapidated and denser.

The neighborhoods here are chaotic, and passers-by on the road have no longing for life in their eyes, only the pain of eating the last meal without the next meal.

On the street where the sewage was flowing, the thin little faces were covered with stains, and pairs of hungry eyes were fixed on the bakery.

In the gloomy back alley, the screams of women and the desperate cries of patients could be faintly heard.

If the wealthy area in the west of the city is heaven, then this must be hell.

. . . . . .

When the convoy passed through the slums for about 5 minutes, Sean stopped talking to Matthew and Henry, but kept observing the slums outside the window.

Matthew and Henry also winked and did not speak, and the carriage suddenly fell silent.

When the convoy left the slums and arrived at the south gate of Jorn City, Sean said:
"Matthew, I heard you say during the meal just now that after the Black Death ended, the power of the church was weakened, but the people's faith unexpectedly strengthened. Churches were erected one after another, and the Holy Spirit of the God of Light Hui is like a warm sun, sympathizing with the people and illuminating all life. Is this really the case?"

Matthew heard the meaning of Xiao En's words, and said in a somewhat disappointed tone: "In the corner abandoned by the God of Light, it looks like this.

And after the end of the Black Death, people also realized that God is no longer omnipotent, and people began to realize their own value instead of existing as an appendage of God.

At that time, magicians who cultivated the power of the elements began to rise, and now they have become a force comparable to the Church of the Holy Light. "

"Magician? Matthew, are you familiar with magician?" Sean's eyes lit up and he asked hastily.

Sean is still more concerned about magic. After all, he is a lord who is unlikely to fight hand-to-hand on the battlefield. Compared with soldiers, he is more likely to take the path of a magician.

"I still know a little about magicians." Matthew replied while thinking: "Magicians play a great role in war. In my impression, a magic army of a thousand people with a thousand shield guards can easily eliminate them." 5000 cavalry, the casualties did not even exceed [-]."

In the middle of speaking, the carriage stopped, and Matthew also stopped talking.

At this time, the voice of the chief guard John also came from ahead: "Your Highness Sean, we have arrived at our destination."

Sean looked out the window, and one tent after another showed that they had indeed reached the refugee camp.

"Okay then, let's get down to business first and we'll talk when we get back." Sean got out of the carriage directly after speaking, and the housekeeper Henry followed closely behind Sean.

Matthew wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything, so he sighed and followed Sean out of the carriage.
