Chapter 198 Mosuo District

Two Thanksgiving meals will be distributed today, and the remaining meal will probably be distributed in the evening.

But there was no need to work on the rest, because it had already been done in the morning.

Caesar noticed one thing.

When the Thanksgiving meal was prepared in the morning, only the staff of the Vatican were in charge of making it, but when it was distributed now, people who were not from the Vatican were involved.

However, they are still in groups of two, either two Vatican staff members in one group, or a group of one Vatican person and a volunteer. I have never seen a group of all volunteers.

In Orne, some places do have the habit of eating only two meals a day, but the morning meal is eaten very early, instead of being distributed to them almost at noon like it is now.

Wouldn't it be more in line with Ornn's lifestyle if some volunteers were involved in the morning work?

Caesar directly told Nellie about his doubts, but the answer he got was quite unexpected.

"We originally did it this way as you said, but then problems arose so we changed it," Nellie replied.

"It is said that someone once poisoned the food while I was helping out. It was a special poison, and the person was fine when they ate it. It was not until they got home and some time later that they found out that they were dead."

Nelly tells a rather horrific story.

Basically all the homeless people will come to receive the Thanksgiving meal.

In order to prevent them from being snatched away by others after they take it away, and to ensure that everyone who receives it can eat it, the Vatican stipulates that those who receive it outside the church must eat it on the spot before leaving.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for homeless people.

Most homeless people will divide their own territories, know who is the boss at which place, and what are the lines that cannot be crossed casually.

They also have an exploitative relationship, like animals, the weak homeless people have to provide for the homeless people above them, otherwise they will be beaten at best, or...

With such regulations, they were able to eat the food without being robbed.

The survival rule for homeless people is to move less when possible to reduce body consumption, otherwise they will get hungry quickly.

After eating the Thanksgiving meal, most of them would find a comfortable place to lie down and stay motionless, looking no different from being dead.

This went on day after day until people got used to their behavior...

Here comes the Thanksgiving meal which is extremely poisonous.

By the time everyone discovered that someone had died at home, it was too late.

Those motionless homeless people just leaned against the wall or in some other posture, motionless.

It wasn't until a knight went up and poked them that a chain reaction seemed to be triggered, and they fell one after another.

Since they were already dirty, passers-by thought that the flying insects on the corpses were normal.

It was not until later that we found out that they had smelled the corpse and came looking for food.

Such scenes left a huge psychological shadow on countless people in the royal capital.

"No wonder..."

Caesar tore the wheat cake in his hand into pieces and spoke thoughtfully.

"What's the wonder?"

Nellie asked.

Caesar told Nellie about the knights he met in the morning.

"By the way, why did that person poison someone back then?" Caesar suddenly thought of this question.

When it comes to this question, Nellie's expression becomes quite subtle: "It is said that one of her friends said a few more words to her husband, and she was dissatisfied, so she poisoned him, and wanted to poison her 'friend' at the Thanksgiving dinner."

"Just for this?" Caesar couldn't believe it. What kind of ridiculous excuse was this?

"Just for this."

Nellie confirmed what Caesar said.

“Although the Holy See understands human nature very well, it still doesn’t understand human nature well enough.” Caesar said with some emotion.

There is one more thing to do in the afternoon.

Deliver Thanksgiving meals to people with limited mobility.

Caesar acted together with Nellie, Weiguang and Fen. Strictly speaking, Weiguang and Fen were going to follow Nellie, and Caesar was just an extra.

Carriages loaded with food such as green wheat cakes and lentil soup were led by knights and priests and headed towards the southern part of the royal capital.

The scale of the Thanksgiving meal distribution this time was much larger than the previous ones, mainly because there were more people working in the Vatican, and Nellie brought a large group of people with her when she came to the royal capital.

The main recipients of assistance are the poor in the West and South parts of the city.

Although the royal capital did not name any particular place as a slum, many areas in West City and South City were considered real slums in the eyes of the residents of the royal capital.

This place is obviously much dirtier than East City and North City. Straw mats, originally used for unknown purposes, are randomly thrown on the ground, and sewage is flowing everywhere. A lot of people live here, and the population density is probably more than twice that of East City and North City.

There are different opinions about why West City and South City are much poorer than East City and North City. Some scholars say that it is due to the trade route. More merchants came in from North City and East City, which boosted economic development.

Some scholars also say that it was during a war long ago that legendary magic summoned meteorites from the sky, destroying the vitality of West City and South City.

There are various opinions, but people tend to prefer the second one.

Nellie, Caesar and others arrived at the Mosuo district in the west city.

This is a very unique area. It looks like a huge pit, hundreds of meters deep. There are various cave-like buildings on the pit wall, spiraling downwards, layer by layer. Long cableway bridges run through the pits to connect them. From a distance, it looks like a spider web.

The huge pit contains smaller pits inside, which is so complicated that most people will get lost if they just walk in casually.

"The Mosuo District is a residential area built based on the craters that were created by the huge meteorite magic. According to rough estimates, there are more than 600,000 people living here, from all races. The environment inside is quite complex."

Wei Guang gave the information as if he was reciting something.

"There are 21 large-scale pit residential areas like this in South City and West City, and the residents living in them account for more than 60% of the entire population of the capital."

"So many?" Caesar was a little surprised.

"This is just an incomplete estimate. The actual number will be much higher than this figure."

Wei Guang said, "This area was one of the worst hit during the riots launched by the Black Death Cult some time ago. Due to the large population and complex environment, the patrolling knights were undermanned, and the cultists summoned the most spiritual creatures here."

A long line of carriages drove in here.
