Chapter 484

Chapter 484: The Eve of the Coup

Teresa completely understood why Karoso and Aileen wanted to take her life.

Teresa only knew that common people suffered, and lower-level adventurers suffered, but in her eyes, common people and adventurers could go to the tavern and drink cheap ale.

It is hard for small officials to survive, it is hard for common people to survive, is this the kind of country her father wanted?

She suddenly remembered that her father had said before that the people were struggling, but they must endure together until the world war ends, and only then can benefits be redistributed and resources restructured for change.

Otherwise, if they do not integrate resources and expand their military now, the future will be even more miserable, and many people will even die.

The father had reached his limit, and Easley had shattered the delicate balance that his father had worked so hard to establish!

Teresa remained silent and looked towards the direction of Winterfell City.

She fully equipped herself with the gear she had brought out of the dungeon and walked in that direction.

We must stop the Second Brother; he must not continue his foolishness!

In this world, the only one who can stop Teresa is Emperor Augustus.

Emperor Augustus has passed away, and no one can stop Teresa from moving forward now.

……

At the same time, in Avalon Academy.

Merlin looked at a group of Presea’s students with a complicated expression.

These students were recommended by Teresa, and they are noble people who care about the public.

They are now looking at Merlin with determined eyes, as if they are about to do something important.

"Teacher Merlin, thank you for your guidance these days, but we must return home, and we have no choice." The leader of the noble boys bowed to Merlin politely, "The Crown Prince has written that the nation is in a state of life and death."

"To win over the generals and the nobles, the Second Prince plans to hold a grand feast at Winter Fortress for three days, giving them many riches."

"And this money is collected through taxes."

"The people cannot bear this burden at all!"

The politics of Presea have always been controlled by the Crown Prince. Although the Second Prince has some unique insights in politics that Emperor Augustus has adopted, no one knows the country better than the Crown Prince.

"Do you know what you are about to do?" Merlin exhaled deeply, "You are going to challenge your own class, this is betrayal."

"No, this is innovation! Implementing constitutional government and reforming the military must happen!" Another noble stepped forward, "We see a new way here; it turns out the class divide doesn’t have to be so severe, and people from the lower classes can also have dignity and a life."

"Although the nobles and the merchant guilds make the most money, at least common people can afford to drink wheat beer, buy machines, and send their children to school. This is truly amazing."

"Ha! They think very simply: in this age, whoever holds knowledge holds wealth." Merlin let out a sigh. "They have advanced means of production, while the people need enough knowledge to make these means useful for producing."

"If there are not enough benefits, then growing fruit trees earns as much as studying medicine, and studying medicine takes many years. So why not choose to grow fruit trees?"

"If the conditions improve, common people will naturally choose to learn, which can also bring them more benefits."

"In places like hospitals and schools, it is never the doctors and teachers who make the most money, but those who run them."

"I know those who run them earn more, but they help common people live better, and that is what matters." A young boy said.

"Of course, what you see is only the good side. Many more people in this country actually work in factories as workers, and their conditions…" Merlin continued to urge them.

"Their conditions are not good, but the workers in our country are struggling to survive. Workers rarely live beyond thirty-five years old; when they reach a certain age, they will ‘die naturally.’ This is inhumane." Another noble stepped forward.

"You can think of humanity, human rights, and the dignity of common people. I have not wasted my time being your teacher." Seeing he could not persuade them, Merlin couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

She has many identities.

Avalon Sword Master, the Witch of the End of Eternity, Holy Healer.

And one more, that is Sage.

She is a true Sage, and every time she travels across the continent, she helps a country and even the whole world.

The Knight King originally became the Knight King under Merlin’s guidance.

Unfortunately, the Knight King wanted to limit the power of the nobles and wanted the knights and nobles to serve the common people, who would give them respect and better treatment in return, but this failed.

What the nobles wanted was not just a little respect and better treatment; they wanted more.

People are all greedy.

"You may die on your journey," Merlin’s gaze became a bit complicated, but then she steadied herself, "But, your teacher will be proud of you. You… are now also a group. Have you thought about what to call yourselves?"

"Let’s call it… the League of National Salvation!" A young boy revealed a small smile.

……

September 30th.

In the autumn of Winterfell City, it unexpectedly started to snow heavily.

This is the most unreasonable thing about Winterfell City; even on scorching summer days, it can suddenly snow, which is why it is called Winterfell City.

This is because there is a large ice magic circle below Winterfell City, the complexity of which surpasses imagination, maintained by countless eighth-tier advanced wizards.

When enemies come, this magic circle will turn Winterfell City into a hell, a slaughterhouse of wind and snow.

Today, Winterfell City welcomed many guests.

A total of one hundred thirty-six noble children, both boys and girls.

When they arrived in Winterfell City, they immediately contacted their people.

Winterfell City is a large city that can hold millions, even tens of millions of people, so it is very easy for so many noble children to hide a few people in Winterfell City.

Unfortunately, even so, they only managed to hide around ten thousand people.

They are just the children of nobles, not the real rulers.

It is already rare for one person to be able to command a hundred people.

At this time, it was early morning, and the whole of Winterfell City was very quiet, giving a feeling of solemnity.

Over these days, orders have been issued everywhere in Winterfell City, and the Second Prince has been extremely busy.

He has greatly strengthened the defenses of Winter Fortress, but has somewhat neglected the defenses of Winterfell City.

At this moment, on a certain street.

A young boy wearing a suit of warrior armor was slowly walking towards the palace with more than a hundred people.

The people behind him were mostly ordinary soldiers, with a few professionals among them. They held rifles and rode simple warhorses, following closely behind the boy.

Many young boys and girls were bustling through the streets, and they all had one purpose: to reach the square in front of the Winter Fortress.

These people moved like rivers, flowing along the winding streets towards the sea.
