Chapter 636

Karen is a teenager from a village near Tianji city. He has dark brown hair, black bright eyes and white skin. He is a very typical stone man.

The Dorn people living in the south of the Chihong mountains are divided into three ethnic groups. Although they are collectively referred to as dorns, they are divided in detail.

Salt people live by the sea, mainly in the broken arm corner of the red mountains near the Dorn sea.

They are soft and dark, with olive smooth skin and long black hair floating in the wind. Most of them are fishermen and sailors. They are experienced sailors driving Dorn fleet.

Oberon and matel family are typical characteristics of salt people.

The sand people live in deserts and narrow river valleys. They are even darker than the salt people. They are exposed to strong sunlight all day and their faces are brown and red.

The last major ethnic group is the stone people. They live in the mountains and passes on the red mountains. Among the three, they are the best and most beautiful. They are the descendants of andar people and ancestors, with brown or blond hair.

Compared with the exclusion of the other two ethnic groups from the outside world, the stone people are the most friendly ethnic group to the people in the outside world among the Donnes, because their ancestors are also the descendants of andar people and ancestors.

However, in Dorn, because of this very obvious appearance and cultural differences, the faces of the stone people are very similar to their enemies, with little difference. Therefore, the stone people are also the most excluded objects of the other two ethnic groups in Dorn.

Now, Karen, a young man in the village near Tianji City, is leading the villagers to flee their hometown for generations and go to the outside world.

However, now all the roads to the outside world have been closed by the aristocrats.

This avenue of the prince's pass used to be unimpeded. It is the main road to and from Dorn. It is easier to walk here than the bone Road, without steep cliffs.

But now the prince pass has been severely investigated. Only caravans can enter and exit, and the number of people has been greatly limited.

Therefore, Karen, with her mother, brother and dozens of villagers in Tianhe City, can only try to cross the red mountains to the frontier and even the king's area of the river at great risk.

The reason why these Doren people fled their hometown is not too complicated. Naturally, it is because they can't live.

The taxes of the traditional nobles on their fiefs were very high. During the war, they even left only one mouthful of food and didn't starve to death.

But this system has disappeared in other parts of the seven countries, and the days when the nobility decided how much tax to pay have passed.

Now the tax officials under the Iron Throne collect taxes everywhere. The taxes are paid according to a certain proportion and are transparent and open. Compared with the previous taxes, the living standards of the people have also been significantly improved.

These are also a chain reaction. When people's living standards improve, there are fewer bandits, bullies and brotherhoods. No one will choose to take risks if there is no desperate situation.

The policy change of the Iron Throne has produced a virtuous circle.

But in these changes, Donne, the only one in the seven countries that has not changed, is very abrupt.

At the beginning, the Donne people relied on their own privileges to bully other parts of the seven countries. The local noble officials dared to be angry but not speak. After all, there was a queen Donne behind them.

However, with the end of the war, the seven countries gradually recovered to peace, and the privileges of the Doren gradually became difficult to use.

The capital garrison of Junlin no longer turned a blind eye to the crimes committed by the Dorn people. The Dorn people's caravan was bullied at the beginning, offended many peers, and was jointly suppressed by other caravans. Finally, it had to escape from Junlin.

The gradual loss of privilege is one aspect, but in the end, Doren people even found that they often hit hard on the outside. However, in fact, their life has not been as satisfactory as the other party. Their behavior before combination looks like a clown.

The living standards of the people in other parts of the seven countries are rising. Only Dorn is standing still and even retreating slightly.

Moreover, many colleagues who participated in the first and second conquest wars were canonized as knights, property knights and even lords because of their military achievements.

There was a big explosion in the number of Lords in the seven countries. Although most of them cut large territories into countless small territories and enfeoffed them to these meritorious officers and men, they did not have any dissatisfaction. Instead, they were too happy. After all, they had jumped the dragon gate and completed the leap of class.

However, the Dorn did not participate in all this, because the king promised the Dorn a high degree of self-control. The merit and labor of the Dorn officers and soldiers should be canonized by their noble lords, and the iron throne would not interfere, and the Dorn nobles were naturally unwilling to take out their own land for enfeoffment.

To sum up, these cumbersome reasons led to the inner imbalance of the first group of Doren, leaving their hometown for Junlin, seagull Town, lannis port and other places.

Later, more Dorn people also left their hometown and embarked on the road to the north. Finally, a large scale was formed. A large number of village population decreased sharply, which aroused the vigilance of Dorn nobles and began to prohibit the people in their territory from leaving, but it was too late.

"We'll leave alive, won't we, Karen?"

The mother of the brown haired boy held her brother in her arms, wrapped in a headscarf, with some unkempt faces and a slightly trembling voice.

At the moment, they hid in the woods of the red mountains. Young Karen was most familiar with the terrain here, so he acted as a guide and led other villagers to flee together.

Among the remaining dozens of villagers, there is no lack of tall and strong soldiers. They have even served in Donne's army, holding self-made spears and swords, and are in full readiness.

Hearing his mother's words, the boy with brown hair turned to look at her and his brother in his arms, and then nodded silently.

"Yes!"

"It will."

In fact, Karen has a little regret to escape. Although her life in Dorn is not very satisfactory, she can't die of hunger after all, and this is her hometown.

However, now that they have run out, there is no chance to look back. The village head found that their families ran away, and may have reported it to count Franklin Fleur.

The "old Falcon Eagle" in Tianji city has already issued orders and spread all over the surrounding villages. Anyone who dares to leave his home without return is caught and will be sentenced to death.

In other words, Karen and others fled to the prince's pass, and there was no turning back.
