Chapter 29 Let her fall in love with you (two in one)
Natan woke up between cold and pain, especially in the back, the burning pain became more severe as he woke up.
He's awake!
I always feel like he doesn't look like the son of a high priest? Look at his appearance.
How is that possible? If you look at his thin skin and tender flesh, you can tell at a glance that he is a young man who has never done any rough work.
That is, that is the Tianming Chamber of Commerce, a large chamber of commerce with the backing of the secret cult. What they wrote...the news they wrote must be true!
Hey, you came late and didn't see the wonderful scene. When I came, I also saw a few beggars behind the young master...
Different from the ordinary people watching the excitement, most of the dignitaries riding steam cars or carriages frowned, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts.
It wasn't until the garrison troops arrived that the crowd dispersed in the dark alley. Only Natan, wrapped in rags, sat next to his father.
Nathan lowered his head and covered himself with a rag. From time to time, a trembling voice came from the rag: I am not Nathan! You have made a mistake! I am not Nathan!
That night, Tozzo, who was stationed in the regiment, drank with his friends in the tavern and talked about this incident.
After word of mouth spread from person to person, this incident gradually became a national topic within the Wall of Ruth, and everyone wanted to say a word or two if anything happened.
The once glorious high priest's son finally became like this, which is very sad.
At the same time, they also learned a new term: cheating.
...
The next day, Tianming Daily published as usual, and a crowd of people gathered in front of the newsstand early, waiting for today's newspaper.
The dignitaries driving steam cars and horse-drawn carriages purchased newspapers first. After the sound of steam engines left, it was the middle class in the Wall of Ruth who bought newspapers.
They took out the coins, took the paper still smelling of ink from the newsstand owner, and glanced at the title with an interested look on their face.
Roll up the newspaper into a ball, put it under your arm, and leave happily.
Next are some people who are literate but have relatively tight funds. They often pool their funds together to buy a newspaper from the newsstand owner, and then get another one to read carefully.
After busying for a long time, the newsstand owner thought for a while, took out a newspaper, coughed twice, and started to follow what was written on it.
People around who had no money to buy newspapers, or who were reluctant to buy newspapers, swarmed around and listened quietly to the newsstand owner's newspaper.
Gradually, in this era of relatively scarce entertainment, buying and listening to newspapers and learning about the latest information has become a new entertainment item.
.....The giant dragon tore apart the dark clouds and breathed out the fire of hell. Attor's army immediately... The newsstand owner stopped and drank some water to moisten his throat.
People sitting around the newsstand urged: Speak faster! What will happen to Atho's army?
That’s right, tell it quickly!
Ahem~ The newsstand owner cleared his throat, glanced at the newspaper, opened his mouth and said: Destiny!
Tsk tsk, little angel, the scream is so intimate. Fortunately, your little angel has Ackerman by his side, otherwise...
Don't think about it. I feel that Ackerman will be taken away by the training corps before long. I have seen officers from the training corps come to Ackerman more than once. If Ackerman hadn't been worried about Lance, I guess
She left long ago.
That's their business too. If you don't leave, we won't even be able to eat!
Go, go, go!
The exchange between several people was not far away, and Mikasa and Christa could hear it completely.
This is a reclamation area.
The super giants broke through the wall, causing the fall of Wall Maria. At this stage, most of the refugees from Wall Maria are here.
The supplies within the Wall of Ruth simply cannot afford food rations for hundreds of thousands of refugees. They can only be assigned to reclamation areas to work hard and become self-sufficient.
At this stage, it seems that the refugees in the reclamation area are still a long way from being self-sufficient. It is still unknown what decision the royal nobles within the Wall of Sheena will make.
The 'Ackerman' they are talking about is none other than Mikasa, the heroine in the original timeline, Yae Ji's little maid in the current timeline, and the sharp knife in the secret.
‘Lance’ is Christa, a petite girl with blond hair and a naturally gentle personality. Even crazy animals will calm down and get close to her.
Christa Lance is a pseudonym. The girl is actually the illegitimate daughter of the powerful person in the wall world. She is not favored by the nobles, who think that she comes from a dirty background.
Because she was being hunted by the big guys in the gendarmerie, her father cut off ties with her and sent her to a reclamation area, thus escaping the danger.
Without Yaeji's intervention, she would eventually become the new puppet king controlled by the Survey Corps after her father's death.
The reason why Yae Ji did not send Mikasa directly to the training corps was partly because he wanted to make her background watertight, and partly because of the little girl Christa.
Instead of letting the Survey Corps support her as a puppet new king, it would be better for him to support her as a new king. At least Yaeji can guarantee that no one will force her to do something she doesn't like.
From Yaeji's point of view, if Christa is in his hands, at least it will not become a fertility machine in the original timeline.
With this idea, the scene just now was created.
Thank you. Christa whispered.
Mikasa couldn't see any change on her little face. After pulling Krist up, she looked at her carefully, and finally asked: Is there something wrong?
No. Christa lowered her head, did I cause trouble for you again, Mikasa?
How could that be? I am so happy to have a good friend like you in the reclamation area.
Mikasa is telling the truth.
When she first approached Christa, she really had the mentality of completing the task. As time went by, she really became a friend of Christa, a cute girl who seemed younger than her.
‘Anyway, Master’s mission is to make me and her friends, so it’s right for me to do so.’ Mikasa thought this every time.
Shall we go to dinner? I asked Ymir to help me occupy the seat.
Yes. The blond girl nodded, held Mikasa's little hand, and walked with Mikasa towards the building in the distance.
Mikasa raised her head and looked at the large building facing the morning glow. There was a pattern of the Destiny Chamber of Commerce badge hanging on it, which faintly reflected the golden light in the setting sun.
‘This is the industrial zone of the Tianming Chamber of Commerce, and it is the owner’s property.’
Yes, Yae Ji relied on the power of the wall sect to find connections and obtained part of the land in the reclamation area, where the cheapest labor force could be used.
All the Tianming Chamber of Commerce has to do is provide them with daily meals and standard group housing.
Even with the reclamation area, these refugees are still consuming the food reserves in the Wall of Ruth, and there are still a lot of them.
It stands to reason that those powerful people would be eager to get rid of this hot potato.
In fact, one should never underestimate the greed of that group of people. Yae Ji only obtained the land and a small number of refugees after spending a lot of money.
This is something that was obtained only after long-term discussions with those politicians.
The industrial park under the Destiny Chamber of Commerce provides standard group housing and daily meals, which is already considered a paradise for the refugees in the reclamation area.
On weekdays, they have to work very hard to get the meager daily supply of dry hard bread.
Because of this, the death rate of refugees in reclamation areas has remained high.
Now those who are fleeing dream of entering the Tianming Chamber of Commerce's industrial park to work. At least under the Tianming banner, they can still feel the fact that they are individuals.
After dinner.
Mikasa took Christa around again, followed by the expressionless Ymir.
Ymir, the person Christa trusted the most in the original timeline, was positioned as her best friend.
Now that Mikasa has a hand in it, the relationship between the three is quite subtle. At least in Mikasa's view, Christa is closer to her.
In the small dormitory, after everyone had rested, Mikasa opened her eyes, turned over and got out of bed, making no sound like a cat.
After Mikasa walked out of the room, Ymir, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes.
In the Tianming Industrial Zone, Mikasa could easily avoid the lazy garrison soldiers. Compared with other places in the reclamation zone, this is the place with the loosest governance, because only fools want to leave.
On the contrary, the management of border areas is relatively strict, because every day many people want to enter the paradise of Tianming Industrial Zone by crossing the border.
Mikasa avoided the guards with ease and finally came to a secret room.
Bow slightly, Miss Kamishiro.
Um.
Under the candlelight, Kamishiro Riyo, who has long purple hair and beautiful face, and is dressed in a maid outfit that will never change for eternity, is even more mysterious.
Behind her smile, no one could tell what the maid was thinking.
Talking about the monthly report, how is your relationship developing with that little girl from Christa?
Mikasa felt a little uncomfortable. When friendship was mixed with other factors, no one would feel comfortable.
Christa and I are already close friends, and today I drove away the gangsters who crossed the area for her, on the 1st... on the 29th...
Mikasa spoke very quickly and clearly, telling Kamishiro Rise everything that happened in the past month.
Well done. Kamishiro Rise nodded and tried to make Christa your closest friend. If possible, it would be best to make her fall in love with you.
Mikasa's heart suddenly suddenly changed, and the expression on her little face became very exciting. She raised her head and looked at Kamishiro Riyo, but unfortunately she couldn't distinguish any information from the maid girl's face.
What I said is right, relax, Mikasa-chan. Kamdai Riyo came behind Mikasa like a ghost, and put his hand on her thin shoulder.
He bent his upper body and whispered in Mikasa's ear: Everything we do is beneficial to Christa. What she will become in the end is all in your hands. You want to see her happy.
