At this time, Carmen and the others were gathered in front of a collapsed house, listening to a pair of old men telling stories about their youth.

"I'm talking about 30 years ago, when I was 14 years old, and that winter was as cold as today."

The old man huddled up and breathed continuously, "There was no firewood and the room was frozen. I had to hug my father and listen to his promise that the lord would give me a warm winter."

"My sister cried out that she was cold and hungry, and my father looked at me silently. Finally, I made up my mind, took away his treasured copper coins, and led my sister out of the territory."

"I took my sister out and came to the free city, where there are merchants, markets, jobs, bread, everything, and there are also robbers."

"As soon as we entered the city, all our money was robbed. We had no place to live, and we needed a guarantee to find a job. I was stabbed in the intestines while fighting a bad guy who wanted to steal my sister. My sister dragged her away in order to save me.

I make money on the street."

"A butcher fell in love with his sister, but he was only willing to pay 40 copper coins. He said that young people and chicks are not valuable, but if they are educated and educated, he is willing to pay 100 copper coins, 150 copper coins for white ones, and 200 copper coins for experienced ones. Voice

It sounds like 250 copper coins. We can’t be the most valuable heirs of nobles. They are only found in big cities, but if a female secret worker is also valuable, he can pay 450 copper coins.”

"My sister pulled me away silently. My injury cost at least 3,000 copper coins. My sister didn't expect that she was so worthless. We walked and walked along the small town street in the cold wind. Finally, my sister couldn't walk anymore.

, it was almost getting dark, and she sat feebly on the steps of the market, holding me in her arms."

The old man said that it was a bit sad here. "The next day, people found her freezing to death there, with her arms protecting me who was about to freeze to death. I looked at her, and she opened her eyes wide and looked at the city she longed for."

"The pastor of the church found out about the incident, and he saved me. But when the town became large and the church was built, he was killed. My legs were broken and I was thrown out."

"I was still weak and living by scavenging. When I got old and was almost beaten to death, I returned to my hometown and found that the old house was still there and my father's bones were lying there. He had been waiting for me."

"I farm Tina's land, but the food I earn is not enough to pay the land rent, and then the knight won't let me farm this year."

Carmen was silent for a long time, and then asked, "If God asked you to choose again, how would you live?"

The old man's eyes were red and wet when he heard this question. He was silent for a long time and said, "I don't know, maybe I will die tomorrow, but if you give me a choice, I will not flee my hometown, I will endure the oppression of the knights,

Plant his land for him to work on, so that my sister will not freeze to death and my father will have someone to bury him."

Carmen nodded silently after hearing this, and turned to look at other leaky houses. Yes, if he didn't leave, he would be like them.

According to statistics in the evening, they have experienced 136 bandit attacks in the past thirty years. Ninety-three people died because of offending knights, and more than 670 people died of illness and starvation. In thirty years, this

No one left the village except the old man and his sister, but the population never grew.

It seems like life is not easy anywhere.

"Crunch, crunch~"

Just then, a scavenger who had been sent out crawled back. He was there to borrow the pot.

"What's wrong with you?" Carmen looked at him crawling skillfully. It was obvious that this was not the first time he walked like this.

"I couldn't even say it, but you insisted on letting me go. They thought I was stealing, so they broke my legs." The man said in pain.

"This is too much!" Robert couldn't stand it when he saw all this, "Everyone here is evil!"

As he said this, he stood up and was about to find someone to settle the score with, but Carmen grabbed his hand.

"Forget it, if you go there like that, what's the difference between you and a robber? To us, it's a pot, but to them, it's life. It's wrong to take someone's life for granted."

"That's just a pot!" Robert's forehead jumped when he heard this.

"That's what you think. In their eyes, it's more valuable than a box of jewelry."

Carmen shook her head slightly, "I've said it before, even if you are poor and rich, you won't be able to make a fire even if you throw away a handful of materials."

"Then how do you want to eat this bread?" Robert kicked the black square on the ground and sat there angrily. Carmen looked at the brick-like thing and sighed slightly.

The night was very cold, and Carmen just sat like that. By midnight, everyone was hungry.

Hunger is the most terrifying thing. It can induce all kinds of crimes, robbery, and even more vicious cannibalism.

Carmen looked at the trembling old people. Their teeth were all black. It was not because they had not eaten, but they could not be caught.

‘It feels so uncomfortable.’ Carmen sighed inwardly.

Hunger makes one's stomach begin to feel hot and burning, along with a sense of emptiness. It is really uncomfortable, and even in the middle of the night, one's internal organs begin to suffer.

Seeing several old people shouting that they were cold, Carmen took off her clothes and put them on them, but they still shouted that they were cold.

But Carmen had no choice.

The winter nights were always so long. Carmen felt hungry, and then he felt cold after having donated his clothes. In the darkness, where he was cold, hungry, and had nowhere to go, he suddenly felt very miserable, and even recalled memories of his childhood.

, for a moment he felt that God had abandoned him and the world had abandoned him.

He is like a sufferer.

A little enlightenment grew in his mind. He looked at the other suffering people and looked up to the sky into the dark night.

"Holy girl, I understand!"

Carmen's body glowed with light, she looked up to the sky and roared, then jumped up and slapped Robert, who was huddled in a ball.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Robert jumped up violently when he was attacked, and saw Carmen's face flushed across from him.

"Stop talking and write it down for me!" Carmen glared at him and said when the other person subconsciously took out the manuscript:

[Sequence 1, victims, observe and experience the poverty and feel the same pain as the serfs, ability: make people feel hungry, cold, and sick. At the same time, it can also make people get rid of these feelings, making people no longer hungry, cold, and sick. There is a certain treatment

ability】

Robert's eyes widened and he tremblingly recorded what Carmen said. Sequence of divine gifts. Could it be that Carmen received a divine revelation?

The words he wrote were almost synchronized with Carmen's words. After finishing the sequence, he took a few breaths and prepared to write the next sequence, only to see that Carmen remained silent for a long time.

"The Pope is talking, and his pen froze for a moment." Robert urged.

"No more." Carmen shook her head slightly after hearing this, "That's all I have at the moment. The next sequence will have to wait for me to think about the breakthroughs and connections."

"Okay, okay." Robert felt a sense of disappointment when he heard this, but then he felt relieved. If there was a beginning, the rest would definitely be developed.

only.

Robert looked at Carmen with a suspicious look on his face, "Pope, aren't you in the fourth rank?"

"Yes." Carmen looked at Robert after hearing this, "Is there something wrong with this?"

"No." Robert shook his head slightly when he heard this.

At the same time, Eric, who was fooling someone into being the goddess of the lake in a fairy cave, suddenly turned his head and looked to the west.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" the huge white snake wrapped around him asked in confusion.

"A new sequence has appeared." Eric shook his head slightly and said, "I wonder what kind of trouble is happening over there."

"New sequence?" White Snake was surprised when he heard this, "The last time a new sequence appeared, it was created by the prophet of hell, right?"

"The number one person under God has gone to the Thorn Flower Kingdom?"

"Not that one." Eric shook his head slightly and looked at his newly deceived disciple, "The new sequence is nothing. The key is that those who understand the new sequence must meet two conditions."

"The first is that you must have an understanding of the laws of the world. This can only be understood gradually after passing rank four. The second is that the thorn flower appears in sequence seven."
