Chapter 207 A New Direction for Role Playing
Hugh described her experience on the road in a very serious manner. When she arrived, the bakery had already been forced open by an angry mob, and many people had rushed in to grab bread.
Hugh asked passersby what had happened and learned that it was because bread prices had gone up again, and many people were criticizing the bakery owner.
The bakery owner was also very rude, telling them that if they didn't have money, they should just wait to starve to death.
The argument escalated, and a physical altercation soon broke out. The bakery owner was knocked unconscious, and all the freshly baked bread was snatched away. He said to Fors and Raphael, "Under normal circumstances, I would definitely try to stop their looting."
"But today I suddenly hesitated. It's wrong to steal, but if I don't steal, some people might really starve to death."
Fors also said, "It's only been two months since the war started, and bread prices have already gone up twice."
"The last price increase might have caused some people to go hungry, but this price increase is different."
There really are families who can't afford bread.
Raphael looked at the two women with worried expressions, shrugged, and said, "Ladies, this is war."
He paused for a moment and said, "Do you think you live in a wonderful era full of hope, social harmony, and simple and honest people?"
"This is a cannibalistic industrial age!"
Hugh looked at Raphael and suddenly asked, "Do you have a way to help those people?"
Raphael laughed and said, "I don't have the ability, so I simply don't bother with it."
Raphael barely felt the changes brought about by the war; on the contrary, his life was even better after becoming the messenger of the Aurora Society.
That's why he doesn't worry about these things.
Hugh realized she might have asked the wrong person, and she smiled and said, "My concerns are beyond my capabilities, so it's really a bit pointless."
Fors replied, "The main problem is that the Fursak people are too despicable. They keep attacking Rune's merchant ships, preventing grain from reaching Backlund."
Raphael glanced at the two ladies before saying, "You've misunderstood the Fussac people. Backlund's grain merchants stockpiled large quantities of grain right at the start of the war."
"But they won't sell this grain easily; instead, they'll take advantage of the outbreak of this war to drive up grain prices."
"In my opinion, this is just the beginning. They will only sell their grain after the price of grain has increased several times over."
"Heh, a year of war can earn them more money than several years of normal business. If a war lasts three years, many parliamentary seats will be taken over by big grain traders."
Hugh and Fors were stunned, then they realized that what Raphael said must be true, because it sounded like something those despicable merchants would do.
Fors took a deep breath and said, "I really want to sneak into those grain merchants' homes and force them to lower the price of grain."
Hugh said, "They will definitely ask the church for help, and it will be difficult for you to really threaten them."
When Fors is around, they will definitely obey his every word, but once Fors leaves, they will definitely break their promise.
If Fors dares to go again, she will surely be ambushed by the official extraordinary beings.
However, it's also dangerous to keep an eye on grain merchants; if they find an opportunity, they will definitely call the police.
Raphael didn't say anything more. He suddenly realized that the high-level demons would definitely like the souls of these grain merchants!
Moreover, if handled properly, it can attract enough attention in the very first case!
Raphael quickly came up with a general plan. Seeing that Fors and Hugh were becoming increasingly dejected as they discussed it, he smiled and said, "Gods..."
The King and the Prime Minister didn't feel any remorse, so what right do you have to feel guilty?
Fors and Hugh were both taken aback, but they immediately realized that Raphael was right. These were things that should have been resolved by the gods, the king, and the prime minister, but they hadn't resolved them well, and yet no one criticized them for being incompetent.
Raphael added, "Do what you can."
"This is not something we three 'middle-order' members need to worry about."
Hugh frowned and said, "Why don't they solve this problem?"
"How would I know?" Raphael laughed. "Go ask them."
Fors laughed and said, "I don't know about other places, but there must be many people in the church who have asked God similar questions."
Neither she nor Hugh were devout believers, so they didn't feel that their thoughts were particularly blasphemous.
It wasn't until she realized that Mr. Fool was also a deity, but even He hadn't actively addressed this issue. Mr. Fool was concerned with whether the evil king had become a god, and whether Amon had a new conspiracy.
But the king died, and a new king ascended the throne, and everything seemed to remain unchanged.
Only then did Fors realize how blasphemous her thoughts were, because Mr. Fool had saved her more than once and helped her resist the "Blood Moon Curse," and she shouldn't have questioned Mr. Fool.
Raphael, of course, was unaware that Fors had already internally exonerated Mr. Fool. However, he didn't continue the discussion, as he generally disliked complaining, so he changed the subject and inquired about Hugh's report to MI9.
The reporting process went smoothly. Hugh lied and said that her friend had found the two MI9 members, who were being controlled by some extraordinary force.
She was originally going to report to MI9, but she was discovered by a mysterious and extraordinary force and had to fight alongside her friends.
However, due to their insufficient strength, they were unable to rescue the personnel of "MI9". They only had time to collect their characteristics and retrieve their bodies.
As for the battleground, it was an abandoned factory that had once imprisoned ordinary people. Many ordinary people were still imprisoned there, making it seem more like a cult plotting something.
However, MI9 doesn't have time for these matters right now. They just conducted a brief investigation and quickly closed the case. As long as the special characteristics have been recovered, that's fine.
Since Hugh had already resolved the matter, they even generously gave him a bonus.
Finally, Hugh said, "The masked man who had been in contact with me asked me if I was willing to fully join MI9."
"In the past, I would have refused outright, but now I'm a little hesitant."
The masked man's exact words were: "Now that the king is dead, even if you join MI9, you won't be working for him. Besides, without official status, it will be difficult to restore your father's reputation."
Raphael laughed and said, "What's there to hesitate about? Unless we're planning to send you to the front lines, it's best to join the official Extraordinary Person Insurance during these turbulent times."
Fors also advised, "Under normal circumstances, the 'Judge's' potion is difficult to digest, but with the help of official power, there will be no shortage of opportunities to play the role."
She paused for a moment and then added, "Besides, George III is already dead."
Raphael didn't interrupt. He realized that Hugh hadn't joined MI9 before, apparently because of George III.
"That's true," Hugh smiled slightly. "I'll join MI9."
