Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 141 Vitality

"But then again, you didn't do exactly what the little girl said."

Babbitt looked at Cecilia, waiting for her opinion.

"When I came from Petra, I didn't see any fruit along the way. Fruit seems to be an extremely luxurious item for people in the south."

Babbitt said calmly, "You misunderstood. It's not that I have malicious intentions to monopolize. I have just been trying to promote planting in recent years."

"The yields in the past two years were not ideal. If we really let these residents plant the crops, it would only make matters worse. That's why we tried planting them in the manor. This year's yield is already twice as high as last year."

"I think within five years at the latest, the South will no longer need to apply for financial assistance from Petra."

Cecilia was skeptical and still had doubts about Babbitt's words.

"What about the orcs being enslaved that can be seen everywhere on the streets?"

Babbitt frowned, "Isn't it common for orcs to be enslaved?"

Cecilia took a deep breath.

Babbitt was right.

In Petra, the nobles only do not openly oppress the orcs for the sake of their image or something else.

Cecilia heard a little about some of the behind-the-scenes tricks from Celine.

What those people do behind the scenes is far more disgusting than the slavery that is openly practiced on the streets of Huguzhi City.

Of course, this blatant slavery is even more arrogant.

Babbitt seemed to understand what Cecilia meant. "I will pay attention to this aspect in the future and make sure that orcs and humans are treated the same."

Cecilia smiled, but it was a forced smile.

There might be some hope unless the little girl he mentioned really established a socialist country in this world.

But the hope is slim.

She felt she was a little pessimistic.

She doesn't think people of different races can really live in peace forever.

As the old saying goes, "Those who are not of my race must have different intentions", this is not completely without reason.

Moreover, over the years, orcs have been brainwashed by humans from generation to generation, and have been working for humans wholeheartedly.

Giants and dwarves are slightly better.

But it is also impossible to make peace with humans.

Instead of letting the four tribes coexist peacefully, it is better to let the remaining three tribes become independent and form their own country.

But this actually has disadvantages.

After all, Cecilia herself couldn't think of a perfect solution.

She didn't realize she was getting too hung up on herself.

In the end, the two of them did not continue this serious topic.

"It's going to be dark soon. Do you want to go back with me?"

Cecilia shook her head, "I'm right here."

Babbitt did not force it.

Cecilia also told Babbitt how to treat the epidemic. "If there is not enough medicine in the city, you can send someone to come to me. I still have medicine here."

Babbitt looked Cecilia up and down, but couldn't figure out where Cecilia hid the medicine.

When leaving, Babbitt reminded him again, "Take care of yourself. If you feel tired, the gate of the manor is always open for you."

Regardless of whether it was a casual remark or not, Cecilia expressed her gratitude to the other party.

After the epidemic broke out outside, the personnel who were sealing off the slums turned their firepower to seal off the entire city.

It was not until the people who blocked the slums were evacuated that Cecilia learned that an epidemic had also broken out outside.

She had gathered a lot of information in the slums over the past two days. Theoretically, the epidemic outside should not have broken out so severely.

Sawyer felt even more uncomfortable since he knew Cecilia was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Perhaps because he knew Cecilia would not do anything to him, his apology was quite sincere.

In order to show his sincerity, he worked hard for Cecilia these two days and kept the slums in order so that no one dared to cause trouble.

Of course, even if Sawyer didn't help, no one in the slums dared to provoke Cecilia.

These days, rumors are rife in the slums: some say Cecilia is the daughter of a princess, some say Cecilia is the daughter of a duchess, and some say Cecilia is both the daughter of a princess and a duchess.

No one really dared to come and confirm Cecilia's identity.

Cecilia never gave a direct answer to the question of her identity.

At present, most people in the slums have recovered, but many with poor immunity have not yet fully recovered.

Cecilia is not a doctor either.

Who would have thought that in this era even the infusion pump had not been invented yet.

All relying on drugs to keep him going.

When things get worse, Cecilia will use magic to alleviate the situation a little.

From the day she entered the slum, except for two people who couldn't hold on and passed away on the first day, the recovery rate of the slum is still very high.

Now that the slums have been liberalized, the people in them are starting to get anxious again.

"We are just fine now, but there is a commotion outside again. What do you think we should do if this gets leaked in again?"

Cecilia comforted everyone, "There is a magic barrier here, it can temporarily resist for a while, as long as you don't run around, you won't be in trouble."

Cecilia didn't know what the epidemic was. According to experiments, people who had just been infected should have produced antibodies in their bodies.

But just in case, it would be safer to go to the next barrier.

After explaining some more things, Cecilia prepared to leave the slums.

The people in the slums spontaneously sent Cecilia away.

Some of the children couldn't hold back their tears.

A sad mood permeated the crowd.

When they crossed the dividing line, Cecilia smiled and waved, "I will come to see you again before I leave Hu Guzhi City."

There were already sobbing sounds in the crowd.

Cecilia turned around quickly, fearing that the smile on her face would disappear in the next second.

The human heart is made of flesh.

Although some of them had evil intentions, they were forced to do so. Moreover, they later realized their mistakes and accepted the punishment given to them by others.

Fortunately, no major mistakes were made.

Most of the remaining people, even those like Sawyer who initially beat Cecilia, just wanted to survive.

After all, they are all poor people.

But they are all lovely people.

Life has treated them unfairly, but after providing themselves with medicine, they still want to give themselves the last thing they have.

They confiscated it themselves, and they even thought that what they took out was not good enough.

Cecilia saw that in the crowded slums, there were people who were still full of hope.

Many families place one or two pots of green plants by the windows.

It is an orchid that can be seen everywhere in Hu Guzhi City and has extremely strong vitality.

The flower pots are also different.

The slightly better ones use chipped cups or bowls, while the worse ones may be planted in things that look like shoes.

In their hands, anything can serve as a flowerpot.

Cecilia thought that maybe she came at the wrong time.

If you come in spring, you might be able to see orchid flowers all over the streets.
