Chapter 1,075 Castle and Municipal Clerks(2/2)

Under such circumstances, those who can still persevere are mostly those who have a tough temperament and are loyal to their duties.

And these people will also become the cornerstone of the city's redevelopment.

Soon, two sergeants riding prairie horses came over.

After they saw the flag, they took out a magic disk and pointed it at the flag.

After confirming that the magic brand was correct, they respectfully invited Zong Shen and Safuri, who was holding little Nari in his arms, into the castle garden.

The number of servants in the castle is basically intact.

The old housekeeper personally welcomed them into the castle with a carriage.

During this period, Zong Shen chatted with him for a few words and learned that there was no one in charge of the castle.

Only a few former second-level municipal officials set up a temporary government affairs hall on the first floor of the castle.

It’s just that the symbolic meaning of this Government Affairs Office is greater than the actual meaning.

No one in the city would listen to them.

Although Baron Edie Nicholls has issued an order of appointment, it is still of no use.

However, the city's city hall has been disbanded for many days, and the only one qualified to receive foreign visitors is the Provisional Government Affairs Office.

All in all, Seakabang is in a mess now.

If it weren't for the hungry people's lack of force, the garrison would not have been completely disbanded.

I'm afraid those hungry people have already launched an attack on the baron's castle.

The roadblocks and horse barriers at the street entrances in the central city were placed to withstand the impact.

In fact, some time ago, thousands of hungry people actually launched an attack.

But the result is self-evident. The next day there were thousands more corpses in the suburbs.

There is a huge gap in combat effectiveness between the regular army and civilians.

A farmer's individual attributes are usually in the single digits, and residents who have experienced professional training and training for many years will only hover around a dozen points. However, these attributes are completely incomparable with professional warriors.

Zong Shen discovered this situation a long time ago.

He believed that this was a deliberate suppression of the indigenous people by the lord system in order to prevent possible unrest caused by class disparity and backward productivity.

But if you think about it carefully, this situation is actually just a separation between extraordinary power and ordinary people.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the castle, and the servants who had not yet been dismissed made the inside and outside of the castle tidy and refreshing.

Able to barely maintain the dignity expected of a ruling aristocrat.

Even though this dignity seems ridiculous in the face of the collapse and decay of the entire city, it also represents the city's final struggle.

The municipal officials who had already received the news were eagerly waiting at the door.

The messenger from the neighboring city is no less than a boy delivering treasures.

The three people left the carriage under the reception of the housekeeper, and were then surrounded by municipal officials into the castle hall.

The person in charge of reception was a guy with a mustache and a gentleman's hat.

The name is Domhnall Aiden.

Beside Domhnall were an old man wearing leather armor and a young man holding a heron quill.

Their names are Carlos Curtis and Saul Bravo.

Zong Shen took a cursory glance at the information on these guys.

It was discovered that Domhnnar is a hero with rare talents, and Kuros and Thor also have excellent talents.

Moreover, these three guys are still the "eliminated goods" who have been left behind.

It is conceivable that when the city's political institutions were still intact, there should be more outstanding heroic talents.

There are several official tables placed in the hall on the first floor of the castle.

It was filled with letters asking for help from various villages, as well as requests for help reports before the main part of the city was disbanded.

The cashmere carpet on the floor has become dirty.

There is also a large pool of dried ink stains.

A map covered with letter pins hung on the wall, giving it a sense of desperate haste.

Their efforts are doomed to be in vain, and the crux lies with Baron Edie Nicholls.

If you don't deal with him, any efforts will be meaningless and self-deception.

Domhnall, Kroos and Sol greeted Zong Shen and Safuri warmly.

The former was responsible for wiping out three clean tables and chairs, while the latter two went to make tea with the servants.

"Conditions are limited..."

"I hope the respected envoy will not be offended!"

Domhnall said apologetically, the mustache on his lips trembling as he spoke.

Zong Shen and Safuli just smiled and greeted each other and sat on the chairs he had packed out.

Little Nari, who was sleeping soundly, had also woken up and was placed on another chair by Safuri.

Soon, hot black tea was brought in.

As for snacks, there is no such thing.

There is no shortage of ordinary food in the castle, but those precious ingredients have long been exhausted.

After being busy for a while, three internal affairs officials stood in front of Zong Shen.

They showed Zong Shen enough respect that they didn't even sit down and kept their posture very low.

"Dear Ambassador, is your country really ready to support us?"

Domhnall rubbed his hands and asked the question they were most concerned about with a look full of anticipation.

To this, Zong Shen did not answer immediately. He picked up the black tea and blew on the hot air. After taking a sip, he slowly spoke.

"You should have heard of Mr. Bezos's generosity."

"He has an excellent reputation among the nobles of the great city of Lentax."

"So you don't need to doubt this."

His words reassured the three of Domhnall a lot.

"Then next, shouldn't we discuss the arrangements for support materials?"

The city of Seakabang is now riddled with holes.

Municipal officials with a little bit of means have left here long ago.

Domhnall and the others are in an awkward position.

They have compassion.

But I have neither the resources to mobilize nor the connections to follow orders.

We can only watch the situation worsen.

Even if the three of them save part of their family rations and use it to feed the hungry, it will not help.

So they were very excited when they heard there was help.

As long as this batch of aid passes through their hands, it will be distributed to the hungry people!

The corrupt officials who previously intercepted food have long since left.

Baron Edie disappeared all day long and became synonymous with the corruption of those in power.

Now is the best opportunity for the three of them to fulfill their duties as alderman.

The straight-line distance between Bosipan and Seakabang is about more than 1,000 kilometers.

If the carriages and horses are on the road, it will only take about 4 to 7 days to arrive!

Looking at the excited three people, Zong Shen poured out a basin of cold water.

He shook his head and said in an indifferent tone.

"The situation in Seakabang City is very bad."

"We found that there was a complete lack of order here."

"There are bad rumors everywhere about Lord Edie."

"I don't intend to emphasize this point, but Mr. Bezos has explained it."

"The recovery of Seakabang must have the full support of Baron Eddy."
