In the early morning, the cold winter without snow, fog weather.

Looking from the sky, the huge city of magic power is still withering. Compared with previous years, the number of people is much rarer. Some houses are blackened, and some houses have already turned into a piece of white land. Such scenes are not uncommon in this city which has suffered from war.

Fortunately, the wisps of smoke are rising in the city. Although the people who come and go are still uneasy, they are much better than those who were scared before. Their faces are also ruddy. The feelings of innocent children come and go quickly. The cheerful noise makes the busy adults show a smile.

Alva easily moved a large pile of stones to the front of the dilapidated low wooden house, strong and strong muscles, roots and veins protruding, showing the strength of a supporting pillar of an adult man.

His wife picked suitable stones and piled them up a little further away, and his five-year-old son was playing with his companions.

Most people were killed and many houses were burned. After the Allied forces of the Empire and the church retreated, the newly arrived adults with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin issued a law. Every household went back to their homes and waited for the official personnel to confirm the registration. All the houses confirmed to be ownerless would be nationalized and allocated to none or the houses would be burned Destroyed residents.

The Alva family was divided into a shabby wooden house in front of them, and all the remaining things in it belonged to the family.

Although it was a dilapidated wooden house, it was much better than the low-lying shack in a favela in Alva. They were working on repairing the house these two days.

Compared with the heat of the Alva family, there was a longing for the future in their energy, while the Austin Dells were much more silent.

A gray atmosphere enveloped the interior of the house. The cold wind wandered around the room at will. The rain just fell on the ground in the morning, but no one paid attention to him.

The door was covered, and Auston and his wife were lying in bed in panic. Their youngest five-year-old daughter had already slipped out to fight.

Osten was a fat man with small eyes and a rich face. Although his clothes were dirty and ragged, he could barely tell that it was coarse linen different from most of his neighbors around him, but it was real, soft cotton cloth.

"Osten, did you really tell the adults who we are?

We are the real aristocrats. Our family has been the tax official of the magic city for generations, which is totally different from those humble civilians.

We are more noble and valuable. Without us, the humble poor people would not be able to take the initiative to pay the Lord's benevolent taxes. "

Mrs. Austen, with her thick lips, and her husband's weight and wealth, is rare in a world where the extraordinary are superior and the non extraordinary are willing to be brutally exploited.

Of course, this is not a crime, but it may also be due to different genes. Even children from poor families may become obese.

Not to mention that even if guilty, it is also the sin of the magic Council era. Whether it can be managed until now is a matter of two opinions.

"Yes, I told the Lord that I am a member of the Del family, who has been the tax collector of the west side of the city for generations."

Auston said feebly that although the new official food provided by the city of magic power these days, it was far from comparable in quantity and quality to the original del family's, barely surviving, which made him plump with the naked eye.

"When can we replace a better house, a house similar to the one before, and a servant? At least ten servants are needed. You can talk to that adult well. It's really not good..."

Mrs. Osten bit her teeth and carefully pulled a thumb sized gold grain out of her thick hair. "It's really not possible. You go and check it, but make sure that the tax official's position belongs to our del family. Can you do that?"

Aston was startled and rose abruptly: "madam, do you still have this? At that time, the army of the Empire and the church came so fast that I had no time to hide anything. "

"Can you do it in the end? How can you succeed with your ability and the golden crow that everyone loves?"

"Hard to say, hard to say."

Osten's face was a little happy, and he soon restrained himself, pacing back and forth at the bedside: "the adult said that everyone is equal. According to the regulations of our family of three, this kind of condition can't be flexible."

"Ah

Mrs. Osten screamed, "how can it be? How can we be equal to those humble civilians, Austin, are you wrong? "

"That's what the LORD said. He didn't accept the dozens of silver coins I gave him. Instead, I was severely warned not to have another one."

"Devil, greedy devil!"

Mrs. Austen bit her teeth and took gold from somewhere in her body that was several times smaller than before. Her face was wrinkled with pain: "if you go again, you must take back the position of tax officer and let that greedy jackal choke to death."Austin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was shocked: "madam, we can't save so much money even for decades."

Mrs. Osten turned her head away from the lovely king. Oh, come on. Get out of here. Don't let me see them again. Don't let anyone else take the position of tax official first

"OK, I'll go right away."

Oston was also surprised. Thinking of this possibility, he sorted out his dirty white robes and tried to restore himself to the image of a decent man.

When he came to the door, Osten hesitated and said, "madam, if I still fail this time, we must start to repair our house. You and I are going to work in the disaster relief department.

Because I heard that from today on, the distribution of food free of charge will be abolished and replaced by "paying for work instead of free disaster relief."

Mrs. Osten screamed and hysterically said, "no, it's impossible. I can't do the work that the common people do. Austin, if you fail, let me die with Lina.

Get out of here! Get out of here

"Yes, yes, ma'am."

Oston packed the two pieces of gold carefully and ran out.

At the door, Osten regained his dignity, his head slightly raised, without looking at the people around him.

The gesture is very skilled, but wearing a dirty cloth clothes, like a beggar, the contrast between the two makes people laugh.

"Good morning, Lord Osten."

Alva saluted instinctively. He didn't know the master before, but his enviable fat appearance and his cloth robe all showed the noble identity of the other party.

It was not clear why such a noble master lived with them. Alva did not dare to think about it. If he offended him, he would die.

"Hum, damn you, stay away from me."

Auston snorted coldly, frowned and stepped back. Alva, who had worked for a long time, smelled of sweat, which was unbearable.

"My Lord, please forgive me for my mistake."

Alva stepped back in fear, afraid to look up at him a little.

In the place where they used to live, the master in cloth once hanged a wrong civilian for a small matter.

"Lord long has been arrested."

"The adults said they were going to kill him."

Oston and Alva were surprised at the same time, especially oston.

Ron BALs, the famous Archon of the city of magic, is responsible for all but the mages of the city.

It was the Lords with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin who still held important positions in the city of enchantment after their arrival, which made Austin envious.

This is one of the big names he just tried to visit. I don't want to hear such news now.

Thinking of this, oston ignored Alva and walked forward with the crowd.
