The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

Chapter 28 - Mary and Jock



The voting results came out.

‘S proposal on the abolition of slavery was soon rejected with 427 votes against, 38 abstentions and 135 votes in favor.

Laser’s efforts failed. In fact, he should have understood from the beginning. Now Turner is representing the interests of noblemen, great slave owners and big businessmen. Even if they can unite some conscientious parliamentarians, the gap in strength between the two parties is ultimately too great.

Lu Xi looked at Ruther, who was sitting in the distance, and looked at the vigorous Federal Minister of Military Affairs.

Fortunately, Turner ’s proposed military operation in Namoia, with 201 votes in favor, 45 abstentions, and 354 votes against, still declared a veto.

Perhaps it is the intrigue that also exists within the gate aristocrats, or it may be the uneven distribution of interests. In short, the Federation has not been dragged into the abyss of war for a foolish reason.

Afterwards, Russell smiled bitterly at Arantir and Lu Xi: “Yusi reminded me of this failure long ago. For her, the world’s best prophecy master, this result may have been foreseen. . Alas, in this way, I really became a fool … “

Alan looked at the teacher with a bitter expression and couldn’t help but comfort: “Teacher, the results of prophecy are often paradoxical, even Master Yushi Nakado has made mistakes this time. Success does not mean that it will not succeed next time. “

This is the second time Lu Xi heard the name of this Ushi Nakado, a federal female magister. Speaking of this, among the four great Magisters of the Federation, only this Nakado master who has seen the dragon and his head disappeared.

Lu Xi disapproved of Russel’s seemingly open-minded self-deprecation. He is doomed to failure as long as people with a clear eye can see, what is the need for those prophecies.

Rasser said again: “I’m really naive. The parliament has long been controlled by vested interest groups. The so-called democracy, in this case, is just a ridiculous policy of stupidity.”

Right, this is the thinking of a mature politician.

“So what do you plan to do afterwards?” Lu Xi asked worriedly as he watched Rather’s helpless wry smile.

“No matter how I say it, I am the Federal Minister of Military Affairs and the Vice Chairman of the ruling party. It can be easily defeated, but politics is also an art of struggle after all, and I have to review my methods and methods. Ruther said with a smile, “So do you plan?”

“The things here are gone, so I should go back. The things here have to be reported to the teacher.”

Russell nodded: “Actually for me, I hope you stay in Elias, after all, even if you are preparing for the exam, my conditions here are much better.”

“After all, I am still an assistant in name. Have you heard of the assistant for half a year?”

“That’s right, Teacher Orusello also needs you very much. So, when are you going to leave?”

“Just leave early tomorrow morning. I have figured it out. The regular boat to the capital of Nafia departs at 6 a.m. every morning. When I get there, I rent another winged beast and I will be able to get back to Colorful Rose Island in about five weeks. . “

“There is no need to be so troublesome.” Russell shook his head. “I have sent Arantis to the eastern border by the Nikalon. Anyway, I will take you.”

“Isn’t this too annoying? And, Alan also has official duties?”

“Haha, although it is a business, but the Nika Dragon is my private floating ship, whoever I want to take is at my disposal. Isn’t it said that private property is sacred and inviolable?”

“Then, thank you.”

Was separated from the mentor and apprentice of Ruther, Lu Xi himself returned to the hotel. As soon as he was about to enter the door, the two figures rushed out of the corner and stopped in front of him.

“What is this, robbery?” Lu Xi asked with a mocking statement.

The hotel he lives in is located in the central urban area, the so-called rich area, except for the occasional few beggars mixed in, the security is very good; if someone robs the magician in this place, there can only be two explanations: head Kicked or killed by a donkey. Moreover, the image of the two people in front of them is really not connected with the robbers.

   A 15- to 16-year-old girl with long light blue hair, although the facial features are not top beauty, but the youthful and gentle temperament has given her a lot of points. She is only wearing a simple skirt, which should be a civilian home. The other is a boy, younger, but with brown hair, blue eyes, and freckles on his face … wait, why is this face so familiar?

“Ah ~~ You little thief!” Lu Xi pointed at the little boy and shouted loudly.

This boy was the one who had touched Lu Xi ’s wallet at the flea market that day, and it also caused him to fight the thief with a girl named “Jadeite”. Over the past few days, Lu Xi, who was terrified by the “poor possessor”, thought day and night to find this little thief, but did not expect to find it, so the other party came to the door in vain.

   Unexpectedly, when the girl pulled the boy, the two kneeled down in front of Lu Xi together.

“Sir, please save the Emerald Sister!” The girl made a pleading, and her eyes were filled with tears.

“Ale, what are you doing? Not just a wallet, just to apologize and not kneel.”

“Please, save her. We haven’t moved a penny here, as long as you save her, I’m willing to punish you!” The boy said prostrate on the ground.

(System prompt: C-level task “Is a thief!” Completed, rewarding experience 2500)

   Er, I really want to complete the task. It can be done in such a different way, but I am not used to it.

“You get up and talk first, people here come and go, the influence is not good, right, the influence is not good …” Lu Xi’s face with black lines. He glanced at the guests entering and exiting the hotel doorway, and they kept glancing at the three with surprise, curiosity, or playful gaze.

“Go to my room first, and say something slowly.”

Just entered Lu Xi’s room, and the two fell to their knees again, making Lu Xi talk for a while, and finally persuaded them.

   The girl wiped the tears in her eyes and eased her mood. Then she slowly expressed her intention.

The girl’s name is Mary, and the boy’s name is Jock, all children who grew up in an orphanage in the Kingdom of Milan.

Although the Nadia Federation in the sky is a federal system of “politics of all fools”, it has also beaten a shame of democratic civil rights, and the imperial state on the ground is a completely different world. Three years ago, the land of the orphanage was forcibly requisitioned by a local lord, and they were sent out with a small severance payment. The old dean of the orphanage had no way to go. Then he thought of the heavenly union known as heaven by the people on earth.

So, the old dean spent all his savings and severance money, and finally made up for the toll, and took the children to the capital, Elias.

Unfortunately, after all, the kingdom of heaven exists only in fantasy. The new dean and children who come to Elias have neither household registration nor skills, and no one can work for them.

Soon after, the old dean died in poverty. And Mary and Jock are the oldest and have to take care of a dozen children.

Mary finally found a job as a restaurant receptionist, serving dishes for people during the day and going back to cook and wash clothes for the children at night. Qiao Ke worked odd jobs in the flea market during the day, and often tried his luck on the outskirts of the farm at night…

Of course, Lu Xi knew: the so-called luck, must find a way to steal a few chickens, touch a few dogs and the like.

Soon after, Jock met a young girl unconscious in the grass from the outskirts.

The girl seems to have lost her memory. She does n’t even know who she is or what her name is. She only remembers her martial arts and horror. Because of her long hair like jade, Jock called her “Sister Emerald.”

With the addition of jadeite, the children’s life seems to be much better. Because of that strange power, she easily found a job as a porter. A person can actually do ten people’s work, and the wages received are at least three people; also because of her strange power, all the nearby land ruffians Rogues, and even the tax collectors who are high above, dare not bully them.

  Mary began to plan to save money to open a store, so that the children’s future life has also been settled.

Jok thinks more: not only to open a shop, but also to think about the future of himself and everyone if possible.

In the Federation, there is only one way for lower-level people to change their destiny, and that is to receive higher education. However, whether it is a magic school or a general knowledge university, the tuition required for these children is astronomical. So he began to focus on the rich man’s purse…

Anyway, those big people who are high above, it’s no big deal to throw away one or two purses.

Jok ’s thoughts, even Mary and Emerald did not know. So, when Jock stole Lu Xi’s wallet and was caught, Jade simply regarded Lu Xi as a dude who bullied the civilians.

After that, it was Jade that was sent to prison as a thief.

Lu Xi said with some helplessness: “Although you beg me like this, I have no choice. Even if I am the victim, there is no evidence to prove that jadeite is unknowing. Unless you go to surrender, but you were the one who went to prison at that time Alright. I thought: The girl named Jade is not willing to do this. “

  Looking at the sad expressions of the two children, Lu Xi couldn’t help but comfort: “In fact, it’s not a big deal, even if this matter is punishable, it can’t be more than half a year’s imprisonment. She can go home soon.”

“However, Sister Jade is also a refugee.” Mary said.

“What happened to the refugees?”

   “Don’t you know? Once a refugee without household registration enters prison, there will be no formal verdict at all, and eventually all will be sent to the slave market!” Qiao Ke shouted.

  Lu Xi stood up suddenly, staring at Jock’s eyes: “Where did you hear this?”

“What Joke said is true.” Mary hurriedly said, “Half a year ago, someone near our house was arrested for something. We all thought he was sent to a foreign mine to serve his sentence. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com However, just a few days later, Jock saw him in the port ’s slave transport cage … “

“Just today, we went to the detention center to visit the prison, but the prison officer said: Sister Jade has been sent to the prison serving the sentence, maybe it has been …”

(System prompt: Trigger C-level mission ‘Rescue Emerald Girl’. Victory Condition: Rescue Girl Emerald from Slave Market. Failure Condition: Girl Emerald is bought by others. Victory Reward: Experience 2500, one bodyguard. Failure Penalty: As a secondary element Believers, can you really sit back and watch a cute little three-beautiful girl be regarded as an animal trade? If you fail, you will be despised by all the characters who have the attributes of secondary elements.)

Lu Xi did not answer, but walked to the hanger and picked up his coat.

“Let’s go.” Lu Xi said.

“Ah? But …”

“Joker, do you know where the slave market is going? Show me the way!”

Not to mention that the pit father ’s reward “a bodyguard” is a **** horse, nor that the bluff punishment “two-dimensional character despise” is also a **** horse, even if this kind of thing is not a task, as long as it is encountered, Lu Xi cannot Regardless of.

  Although there was some inexplicable fight, and although the wallet was inexplicably gone, it was impossible to say that there was no resentment against the girl named “Jadeite”, but it only stayed in the hope of learning something. However, when he heard that the girl like emeralds and emeralds would be sold as a slave, he might even be forced to do such a thing with a full-bodied landlord …

Speaking like this, the little girl who was ravaged to death by traffickers instead of herself seemed to have big emerald eyes …

“Ah! I don’t know why, I suddenly felt extremely hot!”
