Skretil's Ignorance Walker

Chapter 706 The Difference Between People

After a week of travel, Lu Ren and his team finally arrived at Xidao City, the capital of Frannia.

The once glorious metropolis now looks a little dilapidated. Looking at the workers who were repairing the damaged city walls, Lu Ren couldn't help but recall the time when she first came to Xidao City and left. Although she was blind at that time, she could still feel the thickness and majesty of the city walls in front of her.

Now, only a series of ruins remain to show its former glory.

After entering Xidao City, Lu Ren saw refugees everywhere on the street. They were homeless due to the war and now all gathered in Xidao City, hoping to find a livelihood. This is the policy of the current King Charles. He gathered all the refugees here and assigned them jobs. This can not only quickly repair this broken country, but also prevent these refugees from causing chaos everywhere, making it easier to supervise them and allowing more people to survive.

But this also caused the public security in Xidao City to decline a lot. Lu Ren could see patrolling soldiers everywhere on the streets. There were so many refugees that many of them had not been resettled so far. They were all driven out of the city. Only those who were assigned to work could enter the city. Even so, many people sneaked into the city secretly, causing some residents in the city to be dissatisfied.

Lu Ren's griffin also attracted a lot of attention. When Xiao Yi saw so many people paying attention to him, he wanted to howl a few times, but fortunately he was stopped by Lu Ren in time, otherwise it would have caused quite a stir.

On the street, a few people who were either refugees or beggars, or both, accidentally fell on the road, blocking the way for Lu Ren and his friends. Although the person quickly apologized to Lu Ren and his friends and got up and ran away, Winnie, who was driving the carriage, still said with disdain:

“How filthy!”

Lu Ren, who had just finished teaching Xiao Yi a lesson, felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but she didn't say anything. Because Lu Ren knew that people like Winnie, who had served the royal family since childhood, would definitely look down on ordinary people. After all, Winnie became the head maid when she was only in her twenties, and she must have her own pride in her heart.

The greatest sorrow is that some people look down on their compatriots even though they are of the same class. Lu Ren thought to himself that he would have a good discussion with Winnie about this issue when he had time, and told her not to look down on those who have difficulties, because everyone is essentially the same.

However, the suffering around him had nothing to do with Lu Ren. Under the guidance of Antlera, they soon arrived in front of a series of exquisite and luxurious mansions. Even though Xidao City had experienced several wars and was looted once, the mansions and villas where these nobles lived were still exquisite, forming a sharp contrast with the ruins and ragged people everywhere on the street.

After stopping in front of a mansion that looked smaller than the surrounding ones, Antrela excitedly got off the carriage with the two little ones. They looked extremely excited when they saw the emblem in front of the mansion.

Lu Ren and Winnie followed closely behind them. Winnie was about half a body length behind Lu Ren. She also changed into a maid outfit, which was the clothes she wore in the previous manor. Winnie also wore it when she fled. Winnie also had a few spare ones, otherwise the one she wore when she fled would have been torn and could no longer be worn.

"You're going to see daddy soon, are you excited?"

Antrela knocked on the door and spoke to the two little ones, and they nodded excitedly.

"That's great! I can finally see my father and the others again!"

Looking at the smiling faces of the two little ones, Antrela also smiled with relief. They had suffered so much outside with her, and now they finally don’t have to suffer anymore.

Lu Ren was also waiting nearby. Although she knew that Wildy and the others had returned to West Island City, she didn't know if they were injured or even disabled. But then she thought again, Wildy was very powerful, and nothing should happen to him. Even if he was injured, he could be healed with magic.

Not long after, a maid came running to the door. When she saw Antrela and the others, she asked in confusion:

"Who are you?"

"..."

Seeing that the maid didn't recognize her group, Antrela was silent for a while. She and Lu Ren looked at each other awkwardly. Just as she was about to reveal her identity, Bella spoke first.

"Are you the new maid? We are Wildy's daughters, let us in!"

"Eh?!"

The maid behind the door was also surprised to hear Bella's words, and she hurriedly asked Antrela and the others' names.

"Please wait a moment!"

After asking, the maid was still a little worried. She apologized to Antlera and then trotted back into the house. I guess she went to find someone to confirm.

"After all, most of the former servants are no longer known, so it's normal that she doesn't recognize us."

The kind-hearted Antrela had no intention of making things difficult for the maid. She waited patiently at the door and said this to Lu Ren.

"Well, everything has to be done according to the rules."

Lu Ren didn't care. It had come to this point anyway, so there was no need to rush. However, the two little girls beside Antlera were a little anxious. They grabbed Antlera's skirt and paced around in boredom.

"Mom, when can we see Dad and the others?"

"It's almost there, just wait a little longer."

Faced with the child's words, Antrela had no choice but to persuade her patiently. Fortunately, within a few minutes, she saw an old maid running over with the little maid.

"Master Antrela! I am sorry for my negligence. I have kept you waiting for so long."

As soon as the old maid came over, she immediately opened the door for Antrela. It seemed that she knew Antrela.

"It's okay, it's great to see you again."

And Antrela also greeted them happily. At home, Antrela was very familiar with these servants, and the servants also loved her very much.

"Really? You, you dare to make Lady Antrela and the two ladies wait for so long? You are such a bastard!"

"I'm really sorry! Master Antlera, I just arrived and haven't seen you before. Please forgive me!"

While the old maid cordially welcomed Antrela and the others in, she began to harshly reprimand the young maid beside her, and the latter also apologized to Antrela and the others very respectfully.

"It's okay, it's not her fault."

Antrela would not blame her for such a small matter. The group entered the mansion under the guidance of two maids. As soon as they entered the door, Lu Ren and his friends saw a very pretty young woman in the hall. They were moved when they saw her.

"I'm glad to see you're all right..."
