Chapter 294: Three months later

Time flies, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye.

After selena's army broke through the border of Jadelo, it did not go directly to the capital, but instead took a detour to clean up the surrounding border cities.

The troops of these border cities were defeated one after another, and the farmland was not destroyed by a large number of horses, which led to many people running away in desperation.

Selena's army was ordered to do whatever they wanted as long as they did not take the initiative to cause trouble, so they were not allowed to see the army of Selena who fled.

At the end of April, the first group of refugees came to the forest not far outside the Demon Castle by chance.

This is Enjieli's territory, and she already knew it as soon as they came in.

Enjieli didn't like adults to enter her territory at will, so she blocked most of the route with plants, guiding them around the forest and came to the gate of the Demon Castle without knowing it.

Although many businessmen have heard that the Castlevania is safe, the refugees who came here for the first time were still a little scared and were timid for a moment and did not dare to go there.

The guards at the door went back to report when they saw these refugees, and they did not drive them away. They should still stand guard, just as if they could not see them.

Nathan, who received the news, reported the matter to Dikao and then received the order to let them in.

However, the remaining group of crazy believers in the Demon Castle have not been completely captured, and they are only allowed to enter and not leave. This must be explained clearly to them.

Thousands of refugees outside the city looked at each other in a glance, and finally an elderly man walked out and slowly came to the gate of the Demon City.

He looked at the guard wearing silver armor in front of him and asked, "Sir, we have escaped from the city of Doma. Can we let us enter the city?"

Since Nathan's news had not yet come out, the guards did not dare to nod and agreed casually, but just asked curiously: "Where are you?"

"Isn't it... the Holy City?" the old man looked puzzled.

"Shh!" The guard made a ban on voice gesture, "Now the name here is changed to the Devil Castle. This is His Majesty's city, do you know?"

"I heard of this." The old man nodded, "I just don't know how to change my name... I heard many merchants say that this place has developed very well under the rule of the devil."

"That's natural!" The guard nodded with a smug look on his face, "Look at our armor, it's all new, it was basically..."

"Ahem!" The guards who realized that they couldn't help but open the conversation coughed twice, "But now there are some special situations in the Castlevania, and they can only enter but not exit. And there is a curfew recently, so you have to think about it."

"This... we can only beg when we go in. If there is a curfew, we have no place to live." The old man found that the guard did not have that kind of arrogant feeling, and couldn't help but start chatting.

"Then you don't even tell me..." The guard turned his head casually, but happened to see Nathan walking hurriedly towards this side.

"Sir!" The guards quickly bent down and saluted.

"Yes." Nathan nodded, then came to the old man with his hands behind his back, "I am Nathan, the municipal administrator. Where did you come from?"

"Say goodbye to you, sir." The old man lowered his head and replied, "We are from..."

The old man probably explained the situation of these people. They all escaped in helplessness because of the war.

There was nowhere to go, but I heard many businessmen say this place is good, so I came here with the idea of ​​trying my luck.

Among these people, there are men, women, young and old, and there are about a thousand people...

After listening to the old man's introduction, Nathan lowered his head and thought, "Castle of Devils has some special situation recently, and he can only enter but not exit. If you have no objection, I can allow you to enter."

"Sir, I heard that there is a curfew at the most important time..." the old man replied, "We have no place to stay at night, if..."

"You don't have to worry about these." Nathan waved his hand, "Castle of Devils can provide you with dormitory food. At this stage, these are free, and will also introduce you to your job. If you are not satisfied, you can try to find a job yourself. After confirming that you have found a job, you can introduce you to rent a house..."

Listening to Nathan's introduction, the old man looked unbelievable, "This...this..."

"I just think this is true?" The old man looked incredible, "Why are he so kind to us?"

"I can probably guess what you are doubting." Nathan smiled, "But you can think about it yourself. If my king really wants you something, would it take so much effort?"

"Uh..." The old man was speechless for a moment, after all, what he said makes sense.

"That's how it is. You can discuss it with them. If you want to come in, you must obey the arrangements." Nathan waved his hand.

After thanking Nathan, the old man turned around and came to the crowd, repeating Nathan's words just now.

There was a burst of discussion in the crowd.

In fact, this kind of discussion is meaningless, because most cities are actually not willing to let refugees enter the city.

Because once these refugees can't survive, they will be unable to help but do things that violate the law and discipline, which will easily lead to problems.

It can be said that it is already a very good thing to meet a city that is willing to accept them.

After discussing the results, the old man came to Nathan and said respectfully: "Sir, we are willing to accept the arrangement."

"Very good, then ask them to line up for inspection." Nathan nodded, "After the inspection is completed, you will be sent to you a temporary correspondence certificate, and you will also explain the situation of the Castlevania."

Then someone came to register their identity and took them to the temporary dormitory after the inspection.

This temporary dormitory is two adjacent hotel-style two-story building, with many rooms, almost enough for them to live in.

If you have family members, you only live in a room. If you are single, you can squeeze in a room according to the arrangement.

At present, we cannot make too detailed distinctions, so we can only be a simple classification of men and women.

It was already evening after such a workout. Everyone was in the canteen on the first floor and could not be taken back.

During the meal, someone wandered in the cafeteria and explained the rules of the Castlevania to them.

"Since you have come to the Castle of Demons, you must accept the rules here. First of all, here you must obey the arrangements. If you violate the law and discipline, the consequences will be quite serious. And you cannot spread remarks that are unfavorable to His Majesty the Demon King, and you cannot urinate and defecate anywhere..."

After explaining the rules, they were informed that they could go back to bed.

During the next period of time, they can go out during the day to try to find a job or wait for arrangements.

After you have a job, you need to report and then you can go out to rent a house by yourself.

…………

When many of these refugees began to walk on the street to try to find a job the next day, they discovered a different place in the Castlevania.

There were many skeleton soldiers cleaning the clean and orderly streets. White lines were drawn in the middle of the street, and the carriages were walking on the right...

From time to time, you can see the necromancer dressed in an exposed manner, holding a skull staff.

The people next to them just avoided it a little when they saw it, and then turned a blind eye. It seemed that this was not a big deal.

The children chased back and forth, and even ran to the skeleton soldiers who were cleaning the streets and laughed. The necromancer next to them did not do anything about this.

Even when I was walking through an intersection, I saw several elves with green hair and pointed ears walking on the street.

Although there are many people around them, no one said anything. At most, the rate of turning back is relatively high.

I occasionally see shadows flying around in the sky. I can’t see clearly what race it is, but I can only tell that I look like a human figure.

The key is that the street is really too neat and too clean!

In this era, even cities of the royal capital level like Hesler did not taste very good.

Because it is normal for urination and defecation in slums, the closer you get to the slums, you will smell a distinct strange smell.

However, there is no slum in the City of Demons at all. It is hard to say that everyone is rich here, but at least everyone can eat and wear and wear, and the regulations on using the toilet are quite strict. In addition, outside the city is separated by a wall, there is a forest.

The height of the canopy can exceed the city wall, so the air here is quite good.

These refugees began to wander around curiously, and some people still brought some money when they came out to escape.

Seeing all kinds of food sold on the street, I bought a little to fill my stomach, and then started to find a way to find a job.

"To be honest, your luck is already very good." The person in charge of leading them chatted with the old man last night, and there were some smart refugees around him.

They all know that talking to this local person more may lead to some unusual and difficult information that can be obtained in a short period of time.

"Oh? Please explain." The old man showed a kind smile.

"Now Lord Demon has opened a school," the other party smiled proudly, "Do you know what a school is? It's a place to teach children to read and read! And it doesn't cost money! It can be imagined that a few years later, if you illiterate illiterate want to find a job here, you can only do the hardest and most tiring physical work..."

As soon as he said this, the few people around him nodded in agreement.

"But..." The old man obviously had some insight, "Isn't reading and literacy the patent of the nobles? His Majesty the Demon King did this..."

"Noble?" the man grinned, "There are no nobles in the Demon King's city at all. If you want to say, how many rich people still have... But do they dare to resist His Majesty's order?"

"Well..." the old man nodded and understood what the other person meant.
Chapter completed!
