My Sister is Arturia

After the flood, the people who lost a large area of crops and their homes are already living a life of misery, hunger, the pain of losing their loved ones, the cold of losing their homes, and the wanton diseases after the flood. Tax orders, which almost became the last straw for the outbreak of riots and rebellions.
So at that time, the people who could not survive rose up and a rebellion broke out. His Majesty the King then ordered to suppress the rebellion, and ordered the release of the misunderstood craftsman leaders and craftsmen's foremen.
Originally, Arthur thought the matter was over here, after all the misunderstandings were solved, but the world is impermanent, and the butterfly effect is really embarrassing sometimes.
After the artisans were released, the development of the matter was beyond the expectation of the king and ministers again. When they were arrested, the artisans were naturally tortured, and because of the people's uprising, the original It was also quite difficult to collect taxes, because those who dared to collect taxes were slaughtered. Although the counter-rebellion went smoothly, after all, they were just hungry people who were dying of hunger. This also means that there is no tax, and without tax there is no way to pay the salaries of the artisans.
And so—the craftsmen also rebelled.
After the craftsmen joined the army of the assholes, the rebel team instantly became organized and large-scale, disciplined and targeted, ideal and ambitious, an advanced group with a sense of mission and responsibility that is sacred to history, and the enemy gave us no guns... ...cough cough, all in all, this is a British version of the British version of the Workers and Peasants Union armed rebel group, which is still active in the territory of the British Empire. It is said that an organization such as Defias International has been established recently, and it has begun to carry out foreign liberation struggles. Yes, all in all, Arthur felt that the power of the people is great, and the victory of the no, property, class, and class is inevitable.
Of course, this is only the reason for the official investigation. Whether the rebellion was due to tax increases, or whether the artisans rebelled because they had no wages, is just the guesswork of the officials at the time. The real reason is also very likely that the people really cannot If you continue to live, you will rebel whether you raise taxes or not, or maybe the craftsmen rebelled just because they were caught and beat up and resented?
In any case, after listening to Kai's explanation, Arthur could only sigh that the background of the Defias Brotherhood is too scary, and it's better not to provoke him.
The advancing team has arrived at the nearest town along the King's Road, and the red sunset has covered the town in front of it with a layer of fiery red clothes.
"This was once an important border guard city of the Kingdom of Camelot, but when the Pendragon Dynasty of Camelot, with the support of Rome, swept across Wessex in the south of Britain, Orkney County, the west After the six kingdoms of Midland, Lancaster, Northumberland in the north, and York, they unified and merged all the British countries except the territory north of Hadrian's Great Wall and the territory of the island of Ireland far overseas, and became British Empire."
Looking at the city under the setting sun, Kai steered the horse, walked down the King's Road, and walked towards the direction of the town:
"Is this the first time you have come to this town? This is my hometown, Red Lake City."
It seems to be a medium-sized city, but it is red under the setting sun, but the lake...
"Is there a lake here? I haven't seen it anywhere." Lancelot looked at the surrounding environment, but he didn't see any lakes except the wilderness.
"It's just a name, maybe it just came up by accident, didn't you say that there must be something corresponding to it?" Merlin looked at Lancelot and tugged at the horse's reins.
Although Merlin didn't have much combat power, relying on the ability to release magic power, he was hired by the Duke quite smoothly. So far, both the Duke and Kai seem to think that the little girl in front of them is a gifted and powerful magician .
For other people's misunderstandings, Arthur certainly won't explain anything, after all, as long as he has money, it will be fine.
"What's the matter? Lord Kai, why did you stop here and not move on?"
As if sensing the change in direction of the team, Lord Putaitou, who was sitting in the carriage, poked his head out of the carriage and looked at Kai who was walking with Arthur and the others on horseback.
Kai let go of the reins, patted the horse's belly between his legs, and made the horse speed up a little. When he walked to the side of the carriage, the wooden roller made a grunting sound, and the metal rivet rolled round and round. with.
"It's going to be dark soon, and we'll have to walk another day to reach the next town. To be on the safe side, we'd better spend the night in Red Lake City, and it's more appropriate to start tomorrow morning." Sitting on horseback Kay suggested to Duke Putai who sent out one.
"Is that the case, then I will trouble you."
Then Duke Putaitou retracted his head again.
The team rested at the gate of the town, leaving the entourage to take care of the horses and the camp. The Duke of Putaitou also walked into the town under the escort of other knights. As the hired guards, Arthur and others, Of course, they also walked in together.
After walking into the town, did Arthur realize that he had come to a celebration site that was preparing for a festival?
Residents dressed in costumes can be seen everywhere, as well as the drunk who got Lin Ting drunk on the street with beer, but was not looked at with disgust by passers-by. The team felt strange, but when they saw the Duke of Putaitou walking in the middle wearing noble clothes, they all stepped out of the way one after another. No commoner would be bored enough to rush into such a team of heavily armed noble guards. .
There are also a few cute girls who are about ten years old who are quite well-dressed and whose hair is covered with decorative white petals.
"What's the situation...why do these little girls dress up like this..." Arthur looked at the little girls he saw along the way.
"This is the preparation for the festival. Today seems to be the Flower Girl Festival for girls under the age of ten." Kai thought for a while and replied.
"What?! A festival for a beautiful young girl?!"

no.224 The hard-working black dragon Onyxia
The frothy ale was gushing out of the copper faucet, and the wooden round barrel was placed horizontally on the long table, and the white and tender hands were always pointing on the barrel.
A young girl, no, it should be said that she is a young girl, with green hair covered with white petals. Although some torn clothes are still considered formal dresses, she is dressed exactly according to the "Flower Girl Festival". The girl was standing in front of the barrel, pouring wine for the long line of people one by one, and beside the young girl stood a tall figure, wearing shorts, a shirt like a vacation, wearing a straw hat and eyes The cool and cool summer dress is incompatible with Britain in winter, but I have to say that the girl in front of me is amazing in terms of figure and appearance.
"Here you are, your barley wine, and the charge is five copper coins."
The beautiful girl wearing a summer sun visor straw hat fiddled with her long curly hair around her ears, and took the full wine glass from the little girl with a green mushroom head who was blushing and holding a wooden wine glass with her hands on tiptoe , Put it on the table, and then pushed the iron money box, making a clanging sound, it was already full of coins.
"Thank you, Sister Oni!" The person in line was a shy-looking teenager who reached out to take the wooden wine glass from the table with a flushed face, and then put five copper plates in the money box. Liuliu ran to the back, and after running to the end of the line, they lined up again.
"Next person!"
Onyxia, who just brought a large bucket of barley wine by the roadside, set up a table and began to sell wine, looked at the money boxes that were constantly queuing up and gradually filling up with a happy smile.
After experiencing the changes from a nobleman to a pauper, Onyxia once lost and gave up on herself, but with Coco's encouragement, she lost any source of income and could only be used as Onyxia's burden Kexia, cheered up, went to Earl Buna's castle and became a hardworking cook, and worked hard for her Porcelain Project, but the Porcelain Project was in the earl's own hands. The reasons include Arthur's later appearance, which turned out to be completely ruined. After expending magic power to force Arthur to continue his life, Onyxia only obtained seven silver and one bronze from the poor knight girls. By the way, among these paupers there is an elf and two princesses.
Onyxia, who was hit hard, left that sad city, and quickly regained her confidence with Coco's encouragement. It can be said that the seven silver coins and one copper coin obtained from extortion have lived a happy life for two days, but soon, the two girls encountered a rather fatal problem, that is, their money was about to be spent again.
When the two girls were considering whether to continue to look for the great nobleman, and then go to the castle of the great nobleman to apply for a job as a cook, while continuing to eat and drink for free, while carrying out the Porcelain Project, they came to Red Lake City, and heard that It is said that the festival "Flower Girl Festival" is being held here to celebrate little girls under ten years old.
Don't understand why it's celebrated for little girls under the age of ten, but when Coco is the object of celebration, and is dressed up by an enthusiastic crowd, everyone drinks barley wine to celebrate, and there is a lot to gain When they were fans, Onyxia and Coco looked at each other and smiled. Isn't this a good opportunity to do business quickly!
Onyxia and Coco, who are not familiar with the Kingdom of Camelot at all, don't know when they will be able to find the nobles nearby. What should they do if they can't find the nobles in a short time?And even if you find a nobleman, but the nobleman's castle does not need a cook, maybe a bed warming girl, etc., isn't that a big loss?The reality in front of him is quite cruel. Once the money is spent, he will return to a life of poverty and hardship.
So, Onyxia and Coco spent all the remaining money to buy a large barrel of barley wine, and after selling it on the street at a high price of five copper coins a cup, their business exploded instantly.
After selling a barrel of wine, I will buy another barrel of wine immediately, and the barrel of wine that is currently being sold is the first barrel, Onyxia has no time to count, the only thing that can be sure That is, I will soon make a fortune!A large number of five copper coins gathered together, the pleasant sound is simply the sound of nature.
But besides being happy, Onyxia also felt deep sadness. Once upon a time, she was a noble nobleman whose money was like dirt, and money was just a lot of numbers in her eyes, but now she has become a vagrant. What a sad fact that there are girls selling wine on the street for a living!And all of this is because of that damned silver armored knight!
Onyxia, who had expected the Silver Armored Knight to die because of that curse, soon discovered that the Silver Armored Knight was not dead, and was still alive and well. The contract between herself and the Silver Armored Knight's soul was still valid. , Why, it is obviously such a powerful curse, but it still can't kill the silver armor knight, it is really hard to understand!
Thinking of this, Onyxia, who was holding the wine glass, felt a violent resentment all over her body. The anger and the feeling of being severely humiliated made Onyxia's palm unconscious I squeezed a little tighter.
