Fierce Battle on the Novro Continent
Chapter 213 Raise your hand
Seven days have passed since they arrived in this different world called the Holy City. Jonathan and Yao Luoxuan are increasingly confused about the life here. They found that this so-called holy city was completely inconsistent with the word "holy" they imagined. They originally thought this would be a peaceful and holy place, but the reality shocked them.
First of all, what surprised them was the environment of the city. The streets are narrow and crowded, sewage flows across the street, and garbage piles up. The air is filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells, which makes people suffocate. This was far from the holy city in their minds and was unacceptable to them. It looks like a European city in the middle world. From time to time, the whole body will stink due to flying.
Secondly, they were also shocked by the living conditions of the people here. People live in poverty, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. The children were skinny and had empty eyes. They did not have the peace and happiness they imagined the residents of the Holy City had. This made them begin to question, what is so holy about this so-called holy city? Is it just to highlight the so-called equality of all living beings in the mouth of the gods?
Furthermore, corruption is rampant among the ruling officials in the Holy City, and they take bribes and do anything. This made Yao Luoxuan and Jonathan extremely disappointed with the city's management level. They couldn't understand why this city was called "holy" but was filled with so much darkness.
The two finally met in the second week. Because at this time, the army outside the city made a big move. The person in charge of the Holy City's defense immediately ordered the entire city to stop working and gather in several squares. When Jonathan saw Yao Luoxuan, he couldn't help but laugh. The gloomy mood of working hard for many days immediately dissipated a lot. I saw Yao Luoxuan wearing an exaggerated costume, his face covered with purple paint, and his two ears were made of plastic-like things to pretend to be the long ears of an elf.
"What are you doing!" Jonathan said with a grin.
"Play as a Smurf!" Yao Luoxuan said: "Play as a Smurf that is about to be roasted by fire."
"What kind of show is this? Do you even want to eat the Smurfs?" Jonathan continued to smile: "Are they the Smurfs of this world?"
"No, it's the Smurfs made up by us earthlings." Yao Luoxuan was helpless, took out a cigarette from the wide seam of the costume and lit it for himself.
Jonathan's eyes turned red and he said, "You actually still have such a good thing?"
Looking at Jonathan's eyes, Yao Luoxuan handed over the cigarette case and said, "You seem like a starving ghost now."
Jonathan immediately took out his cigarette, grabbed the match from Yao Luoxuan, and lit it for himself: "Go and try it with Niba. You couldn't have done this alone."
The two were teasing each other, but they couldn't hide their inner helplessness. They understand that in this other world, they are just insignificant existences, and they don't even have room to struggle. The fate of the Smurf played by Yao Luoxuan in the play was equally tragic. The scene of being roasted by fire made Jonathan couldn't help laughing. However, this laughter also contains irony of real life.
At this time, the crowd in the square began to commotion, and people were talking and speculating about the actions of the troops outside the city. At this time, the elders of many institutions in the Holy City and various leaders stood up one after another. The first thing they told was the atrocities committed by the countries outside the city against the people on Earth, and then they clarified the position of the Holy City to protect the people on Earth. Finally, they announced the decision to recruit soldiers from the people to prepare for a counterattack against the countries outside the city.
The first two are almost clichés. Yao Luoxuan and Jonathan had long been tired of hearing these words on Earth. However, the people here are actually very excited about such a commonplace thing. This was something the two of them didn't expect. The two of them were suddenly filled with a feeling of terror, feeling that this city was simply a world of slavery.
However, what Yao Luoxuan and Jonathan really care about is the last bit of information, which is recruiting soldiers. This is a big opportunity.
So when the elders announced that they were finished, Yao Luoxuan and Jonathan immediately raised their hands and asked to join the army. But when these two people raised their hands, they discovered that they were the only ones raising their hands in the huge square.
The elder who announced the recruitment of soldiers looked at these two people, anger flashed in his eyes, and the elder said: "Are you really willing to become soldiers and fight back against the countries outside the city that ignore our holy city?"
Yao Luoxuan and Jonathan looked at the crowd. No one raised their hands, and they knew something was wrong.
But Jonathan bit the bullet and said, "Yes, we do."
The elder closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay! You two, follow me!" After saying that, the elder turned and left.
When Yao Luoxuan and Jonathan saw it, they immediately followed him. As they walked, everyone around them had expressions of contempt in their eyes.
When the two people arrived in a hall, the elder suddenly said: "How long have you two been in the Holy City?"
"More than a week," Jonathan answered.
"No wonder." The elder said: "It's only been a week, and I'm not familiar with how our holy city operates."
"Yes, the Holy City is very strange." Yao Luoxuan added.
"After being in the Holy City for a long time, my soul has become impure." The elder sighed.
"Because, those who are protected by the Holy City are slaves of the gods." Yao Luoxuan suddenly added.
Hearing Yao Luoxuan's words, the elder stared and asked, "It seems that you are very familiar with this place when you came to Novro Continent?"
Yao Luoxuan immediately denied it. She said, "No, this is the summary I got from being here for a week."
Hearing Yao Luoxuan's explanation, the elder didn't have much doubt. He said, "Thoughtful man, what did you do on earth before?"
"Police!" Yao Luoxuan replied immediately.
"Everyone in the Divine Grace Institute is in a hurry now. They can arrange the work of people on earth according to their own preferences. As a police officer, your professional skills must be very powerful, but you are not assigned to the law enforcement team." The elder sneered, and then Asked Jonathan: "Then what do you do?"
"Do some shameful things for the superpowers on earth. They are considered mercenaries." When Jonathan saw Yao Luoxuan's answer, he immediately said it truthfully.
