The World of Deities Chapter 314: Abandoned Chaptery Canyon
Su Ye followed the prestige curiously, and saw a crowded market in front of him. A group of strong men dressed only in shorts covering their lower body, sang songs, and moved forward slowly.
Different from the tragic expressions of those Hilo people, some of these men were smiling and nonchalant, some were silent, some were extremely calm, and only a few showed shame and bowed their heads.
Several of them are extraordinarily strong, with a strong aura, as if they are in a high position.
It made Su Ye feel that even the silver warriors in the arena are far beyond reach.
"Poor fellow..." Sergus gleefully said.
"Who are they?"
"Spartan bachelors who are over 25 years old are not married yet, in our Spartan law, they are determined not to marry and commit crimes that undermine the country. After all, we Spartans are too few. If we don’t force marriage When giving birth to children, the number of people will become smaller and smaller, and they will inevitably be replaced by other city-states. Therefore, after a certain period of time, these bachelors are pulled out to parade. You see, most of them don’t care and are used to it."
"They are singing a part of the punishment?" Su Ye asked.
"Haha, yes. The pedestrians on the road are laughing at them, it's so pitiful." Saigus said.
"Unexpectedly, Spartan is so unfriendly to single dogs. It's too miserable." Su Ye's tone was full of sincere sympathy.
"Single dog? This word is good, haha."
Sergus smiled and yelled at the punished bachelor outside: "Single dog, get married soon, you don’t have to be punished if you get married. Single dog!"
The pedestrians nearby laughed.
Some children also yelled: "Single dogs! Single dogs..."
The single dogs in the parade gave Segus a grimace.
Sergus returned to the carriage and said: "I will never be like them. I can definitely get married before the age of 25."
"It's good to have a dream." Su Ye said half-jokingly.
"Our Sparta is a marriage robbing system, as long as I discuss with the girl I like, find a time, take my brother to the house and get married. So, I am not afraid of being single at all." Saigus said.
"The question is, does any girl like you?" Su Ye asked.
Sergus froze for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "I have been in the arena for several years, and I really don’t know any girls. I used to think that after becoming a powerful gladiator, there will be girls showing love to me. , The result was not there at all. The most annoying thing is that last night I saw a girl showing love to Di Aotian and Wang Dahammer on the graffiti wall outside the arena."
"So, you are also a single dog." Su Ye said.
Segus muttered to himself: "It seems that he was right."
The carriage continued to move forward, out of the city, and arrived at the deserted gorge outside Sparta.
Su Ye got out of the carriage, frowning his brows and nose slightly
A faint smell floats in the air.
"This is the smell of abandoned canyons, alas..." Sergus sighed softly.
"Let's go in."
The two people walked slowly forward.
The light gray mountain peak is like a huge door frame, leaving an intersection for more than ten horse-drawn carriages in the middle.
At the entrance of the canyon, a group of Spartan soldiers in black leather armor walked around.
They looked at Su Ye and Sergus, and continued to patrol.
Two people entered the canyon and walked for more than ten minutes, and the front suddenly opened up.
The verdant grass is spread out, and rows of old brown wooden houses are scattered in between. The roofs and walls of the wooden houses are rotten and black, as if they have been soaked in rain.
Farther away, there are some small undulating mounds, and farther away, the mounds are weathered, showing a little bit of pale white.
Su Ye retracted his gaze, and the two of them walked forward and looked at the nearby house.
The sounds of babies crying one after another.
Some people walked around, mostly women.
A woman is breastfeeding a baby with her back to the person.
A woman was crying while gently coaxing the child in her arms.
Someone is feeding the baby rice soup little by little.
There are also women who clean up dilapidated wooden houses and let the babies lie down.
A girl in black walked out of a room, sighed softly, and turned to look at the mouth of the canyon.
The girl is petite, with her black hair hanging down, covering most of her face with her bangs.
The place where the hair is not covered reveals a dark red birthmark and a few dark moles.
The range of birthmarks is so large that they seem to cover most of the face.
However, the girl's eyes are pale pink.
Like a pink diamond.
Her eyes seem to have amazing magic power, making people unforgettable just by looking at them.
Su Ye looked at the girl, and the girl looked over.
The two people face each other.
Su Ye stopped and nodded slightly to greet her. The girl blinked, as if she was smiling, and as if there was no sign, she nodded gently and walked to another house.
Sergus sighed slightly and said: "Although the law throws weak babies into the canyon, family affection does not abandon them. Many mothers will come here to breastfeed their babies, but they will gradually reduce the frequency. In the end, I had to give up. There are also some kind people who take care of the children when they have time."
"Does the city-state prohibit them?" Su Ye asked.
"The city-state's law does not stipulate that babies cannot be rescued, and even stipulates that if the baby can live to three years old, the Spartans can adopt it. A few parents will continue to feed the child until the age of three, and finally apply to the city-state for adoption. Actually I know several such abandoned fighters."
"So that's it." Su Yedao.
"Are you here to donate? There is a donation box." Sergus pointed to a wooden box.
"The donation does not have much effect on these babies. After I came here, everything was almost as I guessed. Abandoning the canyon does not require any donation, it requires long-term feeding." Su Yedao.
"Then you mean..." Sergus looked at Su Ye in disbelief.
"I have established a charity club in Athens, and I plan to establish one in Sparta." Su Ye finished speaking, looking up to the sky.
The sky is blue and cloudless, but the entire canyon is gloomy.
"This will cost a lot of money," Sergus said.
Su Ye smiled and said: "I have calculated that it takes less than 10,000 golden eagles a year."
"A golden warrior can earn less than ten thousand golden eagles in a year. The income of the gladiator king Comodes is the highest among all gladiators. Even so, it seems that the status of the gladiator king alone cannot be earned in a year. Twenty thousand golden eagles. Of course, he has other shops and industries, and his total income is more than 20,000. Moreover, if he raises a baby, he really needs less than ten thousand golden eagles a year, maybe not even one thousand." Si looked at Su Ye questioningly.
"It's just that raising babies may not cost much. When they grow up, it will cost more." Su Yedao.
"Ah? Are you here for real? Don't bother, there are some people who try to train abandoned fighters, but...the success rate of abandoned fighters is not high, and they will basically lose money. If a private mercenary group is established If you don't, you won't lose too much." Sergus said.
"I am saving these babies, not to make money." Su Ye said.
"What is that for?"
Su Ye thought for a while, and said: "There are many reasons. Part of it is because of the most basic kindness of human beings. I can watch adults step into the underworld, but I don’t like to let children who have no choice ability go on a path to death. The road. I have hoped since I was a child that I can help people in need when I am able. What's more, don’t you think it’s a very valuable thing to save so many people with just a little money Isn’t it the price, it’s the value."
Sergus hesitated: "What you said makes sense, but I still think something is wrong. Saving others with my own money is not necessarily a good thing."
"If I am not rich but help people, it is pedantic. No matter how ugly it is, it may be stupid. However, I have a lot of spare money in my hand, which comes from the whole world, then I will give back some of the money to this world Isn't it a good thing for people who need it? Thousands of golden eagles every year are just a golden magical instrument for me. It is very worthwhile to exchange so many lives with a golden magical instrument." Su Yedao.
"You are really a good man." Sergus said sincerely.
"What's more, everyone can get spiritual and spiritual gains from doing good deeds. My own gains far exceed what I give. Therefore, I don't understand why the Spartans don't feed these babies." Su Yedao.
"It’s not that I don’t want to, I can’t. The common people can’t afford it, and no one can go back and forth so far every day. The rich and nobles can afford it, but they can’t do that. Because in the eyes of the Spartans, Throwing these babies here ~IndoMTL.com~ is the dual will of the law and the gods. If a nobleman keeps feeding these babies, is it considered against the gods? Will it be hostile by other nobles?" Sergus said.
"So that's the case. However, I believe that any **** with justice in heart will not allow this to happen." Su Yedao.
In the wooden house, the girl with pink diamond eyes took a serious look at Su Ye, and then continued to help the crying baby.
Sergus looked shocked and hurriedly reached out to stand in front of Su Ye, and whispered: "My idol, don’t say that, it will scare people to death. A few years ago, I saw someone drinking I was drunk and scolded the gods in the public. As a result, thunder fell from the sky, and he was killed alive."
"I didn't name the gods, so nothing will happen." Su Ye smiled.
"If you really want to feed them, you first need to find a large number of nurses. This is not easy. After all, babies can't drink goat milk, and it's hard to survive drinking rice soup." Saigus said.
"This is the thinking of your warriors. I am a magician. So when I think of these babies, I think about how to solve them with magic. I just flipped through the book and asked the teacher to find out that there is a kind of Put the potion in goat milk or milk and dilute it with water. The baby can drink it directly, and the effect is no less than breast milk. I only need to buy that potion to feed all the babies here. You see, things are unimaginable It's so difficult in the middle." Su Yedao.
"Really? I don't know magic, don't lie to me." Sergus asked puzzledly.
"It is true, and the price is not high. I will go to the people of the Plato Chamber of Commerce in Sparta today and ask them to dispense the potion directly." Su Ye said.
Sergus laughed and said, "That would be great. I will come here to help when I have time. But...what if you are not in Sparta?"
"Juliss will do everything well." Su Yedao.
