c724 A Day in the Life of an Alexandrian

Bart is a native of Alexandria. Of course, they call themselves “El Escandarians”. As a city dweller, he can despise those stinky beggars from the countryside, even though he is just an ordinary person. stevedore.

He was still very resistant to these new conquerors at first, but soon he discovered that these outsiders, who spoke with strange accents and spoke a language they did not understand, did not take away as much as the legend said. Their only wealth.

How we lived in the past is still the same now.

But not long ago, when the city’s gentlemen fled with their families on a boat, he took the opportunity to make a lot of money. In addition, many houses have become vacant in Alexandria recently. It is estimated that he will be able to live in one in a short time. It’s my own house, something I couldn’t even imagine before.

Thinking of this, he made a strange sign of the cross at the crude cross placed on the table: “Praise Heavenly Father, please bless me to buy my own house as I wish. It would be great if I could marry a daughter-in-law!”

The Senmut next door has been clamoring all day long to get the Franks out of Alexandria, but he thinks there is no chance. The kind of idiot who makes nonsense after drinking too much wine is always avoided by smart people in the tavern. of.

Only those idiots who also had their heads full of shit would come close to listen to him fart.

Think about it, Governor Adil, such a majestic big man, didn’t he die in the hands of the Crusader King under his command of a group of dark armored cavalry?

Not to mention that the Crusader King was also a “miracle worker” who slayed dragons and gods. All kinds of giant buildings rose from the ground overnight. Being an enemy of this kind of existence would mean that even a hundred lives would be lost. Not enough.

“Bart, are you home?”

The voice of the leader of the area where he lived suddenly sounded outside the door, known as Uncle Aladdin.

It is said that he was favored by the Franks and served as the district governor – the entire Alexandria was divided into four districts, the Coptic District in the west, the Jewish District in the northeast, the Imperial City and the Greek District in the center, and the Saracen District, which accounted for the majority. .

Aladdin’s jurisdiction was only a block in the Coptic District. He patrolled with a group of militiamen every day, which was very majestic.

Bart put on a bitter face and said with a smile: “Uncle Aladdin, you also know that there is not much work in the port recently. I am planning to go to the tavern to try my luck and see if there is anyone to hire.”

Aladdin patted Bart on the shoulder and said with a smile: “No, Bart, I have found a good job for you today.”

Bart was a little excited and said: “Uncle Aladdin, are you planning to recruit me into the militia?”

Aladdin’s expression froze: “You kid, you really dare to think about it. I don’t even dare to put my son in it. The municipal government… is a group of Franks who find people to repair projects and get enough black bread and bacon every day. It is said that We also have mutton soup to drink in the evening, and we also get paid for the work, which is a great thing.”

Brown bread with cured meats…

Are the Franks so generous?

Bart’s heart moved, and he calmly took out a silver coin, gritted his teeth and handed it over: “Uncle Aladdin, can you be more specific?”

Aladdin laughed and said: “Well, you know what happened last night, right? His Majesty the King subdued a rebellious demon dragon. The demon dragon has now surrendered. His Majesty the King plans to build a nest for it.”

Bart said “Ah”, his expression was a little stiff, half of his mind was scared, and the other half imagined the delicious bread and bacon, as well as the scene of soaking them in mutton soup and devouring them.

…

Bart ultimately failed to resist the temptation of food.

When I arrived at the labor camp, I found that thousands of people had gathered here. They were mining earth and stones, grinding them into shapes and pushing them onto the carriage. As soon as Bart arrived, he was assigned to a delivery team. .

The car contained a whole fan of pork, half a cow, and a whole sheep.

The other cars also loaded some stones, and they passed through the three fortresses that had been built overnight a few days ago. They were amazed for a while before arriving at their destination.

“Are we going the wrong way?”

“When did an extra volcano appear?”

Everyone was amazed.

“Didn’t you receive the news posted by the municipal government last night – an evil dragon appeared on the outskirts of the city, and was surrendered by His Majesty the King himself. This was notified door to door.”

A steward who looked like Aladdin following the car said with a smile: “This volcano was created by His Majesty the King when he subdued the evil dragon. There was so much noise last night, but you didn’t hear it?”

“I live in the north of the city, in front of the Jewish Quarter, far away from here, and the leader responsible for informing us of the news was originally a gangster from the Crow Gang. He probably slept with his wife in his arms last night.”

Someone murmured in a low voice: “So this was the noise last night. I thought we failed to resist those pagans and were punished by God.”

“Tsk, the Crusaders have made a message. They need to notify everyone to avoid causing trouble. If this word gets out, the leader in charge of your area will be in bad luck.”

The steward looked gloating. The “leaders” in these places were all filling the vacancies. The real powerful figures had long since fled overseas. Whether they could secure this position depended on the satisfaction of the Crusaders.

Who dares to neglect?

After finally climbing up the slightly steep volcano, everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion. They got closer to the crevices of the volcano to take a look.

In the darkness, a few dark red lava gullies were dimly lit, and a huge, rugged body could be vaguely seen, crawling in the abyss.

“Oh my God!”

“The dragon is down there!”

Many people were trembling with fear.

The steward, who had already been here once, forced out a smile and said comfortingly: “Don’t be afraid, this Lord Ladon has surrendered to His Majesty the King. As long as you don’t offend him, maybe he will reward you with a tael.” A piece of shed dragon scale!”

Hum~

As if it heard someone whispering about it behind its back, the demonic dragon suddenly straightened up, with three heads protruding from the darkness, and six flames of different colors sprayed out from its nostrils. It raised its head and admired the frightened mortals. The funny look of peeing.

“Holy fire…oh no, for God’s sake, it actually has three heads! If it has to eat one person per meal, here…no, it has to eat at least three per meal! I knew there was nothing so good in this world. !”

Bart was trembling with fear. It seemed that the wages and meals were clearly for life. No wonder he was so generous!

“Don’t run away, look at me!”

The steward plucked up the courage and ordered: “Send the tribute to Master Ladong. Hurry, it’s the cattle and sheep you are carrying!”

Seeing that the dragon had been looking at them for a long time, the peasants did not even open their mouths to eat them. They finally mustered up their courage and tremblingly threw the cattle, sheep and pork they were carrying into the mountains.

Immediately afterwards, they saw the three heads fighting for each other, and they were eating very ferociously. The sharp fangs easily chewed the bones in the meat into pieces.

They brought a lot of meat, but the demonic dragon’s appetite was obviously astonishing, and soon there was no residue left. The demonic dragon’s six eyes stared over, obviously not satisfied with the amount of “tribute” .

Bart’s hanging heart began to tremble again: “Master Steward, this Demon Dragon Master is obviously not full. Are you sure it won’t eat us?”

“I’m sure!”

The manager was actually a little uneasy. He first greeted “Master Ladong” cautiously, and then he was afraid that the magic dragon wouldn’t hear him, so he raised his voice and said, “Master Ladong, the young men are all here to repair your house. Can you please You can’t attack them!”

The three dragon heads looked at each other for a while, then retreated to the ground angrily.

It was given a lot of trouble by Lothar last night. Its huge dragon body of more than ten meters was like a small long worm in front of Lothar’s normal dragon body of nearly fifty meters.

No matter how arrogant and disobedient he is, he will not dare to be disobedient again after this experience.

It’s a small thing to be beaten up and hurt, but it’s too embarrassing to be seen by those colleagues. He is the majestic dragon of the end and the three nightmares, and he also needs face, not to mention Lothar still controls him The power to restore strength.

“You idiots, what are you trying to rob, or will you end up with nothing in the end?”

“As generous as you are, it’s all the same in the stomach, but it’s different in whose mouth it goes in. If you go in from here, you can at least taste the meat.”

Radon, who retracted into the abyss, felt much happier.

“Brothers, think on the bright side, we are reborn. Even though the captain is a little mean, a little stingy, a little cruel, a little moody, he still cares about our brothers, otherwise he would not send people to repair our lair. , right!”

At the same time, in the Governor’s Mansion dozens of kilometers away.

Jeanne was playing with the king’s old gun.

“You do care about this new colleague.”

“What do you care about? Building him a nest is purely to win over the hearts of the Alexandrians and tell them that we Crusaders are also reasonable and will provide us with good treatment. In addition, it can also prevent people from accidentally entering.”

In fact, he also had the intention of “shocking Xiao Xiao”. After all, no matter how miraculous it is to raise a tall building from the ground, it can’t be as scary as a real magic dragon.

Lothar frowned and said: “At this time, is it a bit embarrassing to say such a thing? Well -”

Looking down, the blonde female knight was burying her head in her mouth.
