652 – Braves Fall into Line
Naughty Kitten Tavern is an ordinary small tavern in Jinhua City . Since the ale here is cheap, many people with some money to spare like to come here to drink and chat .
The door of Naughty Kitten Tavern was pushed open, and three adventurers with scarfs covering their faces entered the tavern and sat at a table . Judging by their full figures, the adventurers are all female .
“The mighty Brave Lord is said to have promulgated a new policy, lowering agricultural taxes and raising commercial taxes again . ”
“Great, now our burden is lighter . Long live the Brave Lord!”
“Last week, Earl Helio was sentenced to death by the Brave Lord and publicly executed . Earl Helio delighted in abusing and killing peasant adventurers . That beast was finally put down . The Brave Lord is really wise . ”
“Yeah, lowering taxes and slaying those greater aristocrats guilty of crimes, only the Brave Lord will do that . In the past, no one dared to control those greater aristocrats . No matter what crimes they committed, they wouldn’t be tried . The Brave Lord is really a heaven-sent treasure . ”
“…”
There are people talking about the deeds of the Brave Lord everywhere in the tavern, and all of them are full of praise for the Brave Lord .
A female adventurer couldn’t help but ask: “How do you know so much?”
A bald-headed adventurer showed a smug smile, took out a newspaper, and handed it to the female adventurer: “It’s because of the newspaper! This is a newspaper run by the people of the Brave Lord, and it has all policies recorded inside . Although we uncouth fellows can’t understand what it says, but the Naughty Kitten Tavern has newspaper readers every day read the various policies recorded in the newspaper to us . ”
“Newspaper?” The female adventurer lowered her head, picked up the newspaper, and read it carefully . The newspaper speaks of various policies and decrees promulgated by Yang Feng as well as praises and propaganda for the person himself .
The female adventurer is from an extraordinary background . Ignoring the propaganda, she looked at the various decrees and policies and realized how extraordinary they are .
After becoming the king of the Kingdom of the Sun, Yang Feng didn’t indulge in pleasure, but supported agriculture, commerce, and industry vigorously and directly sold off most of the wealth he obtained from the three kingdoms and invested all into infrastructure .
With the full support of Yang Feng, the three kingdoms gained tremendous vitality, and are experiencing a prosperous economic development, improving the people’s living standards continuously .
Many farmers couldn’t even eat their fill in the old days . But with Yang Feng’s a.s.sistance, that is no longer the case, which netted him the support of many people from the lower strata . At the same time, Yang Feng used the newspaper as a propaganda tool to expose the evil actions of the greater aristocrats in the era of the three kingdoms, making the people full of disgust and anger towards that era, which in turn made then feel even more intimate with the Kingdom of the Sun .
The female adventurer handed the newspaper to another female adventurer and asked: “Nina, what do you think? Are the things in the newspaper false?”
Nina took a closer look at the newspaper, her pretty face turned slightly ashen, and she sighed faintly: “They should be true! There was a rumor in the high society that Viscount Lasev likes to torture and kill boys . When I was young, my father told me that I should never approach that animal . ”
The female adventurer exuding a faint aura of a powerhouse sighed slightly: “In that case, everything the Brave Lord Randt did is justified! Everywhere we pa.s.sed along the way, we only heard people praise the Brave Lord Randt . He executed the brutal greater aristocrats, lowered the taxes for the peasants, eliminated slavers, punished corrupt officials, signed peace treaties with the outside world, and actively responded to the possible invasion of the demons . He is definitely a rare virtuous lord! Nina, I can’t kill him!”
Face slightly ashen, Nina clasped her hands together and bit her lower lip .
The female adventurer continued: “Nina, we should give up . The Brave Lord Randt just deprived your family of your t.i.tles and confiscated your a.s.sets, which he converted into war bonds . I heard that the Kingdom of the Sun didn’t renege on the war bonds, but started repaying them with a repayment period of 20 years . In this way, although you are no longer an aristocrat, but you can still become rich, and there is still hope of you rising to great heights in the future . ”
Nina responded: “I know . However, Brigitte, are you really going to heed the Brave Lord’s call? Isn’t it your dream to become the Hero? It is no secret that the Brave Lord wants to become the Hero . Aren’t you afraid that he’ll kill you?”
Brigitte is the name of the female adventurer . She is one of Garemo Kingdom’s Hero candidates, is a native to the Eternal Continent, and possesses tremendous strength .
Since she didn’t want to take part in the human civil war, Brigitte didn’t appear in Ninuo City . Many human braves didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the civil war between Yang Feng and the human kingdoms .
Brigitte smiled and said: “Don’t worry, it’s written in the newspaper that so long as braves go to Radiant Capital and accept a t.i.tle of the Kingdom of the Sun’s t.i.tle, there won’t be any danger . A friend of mine who is also a brave has already arrived in Radiant Capital and confirmed the Brave Lord’s promise . ”
Nina fell silent .
A dozen days later, Brigitte and her party arrived in Radiant Capital .
“Brigitte, it’s me!”
