v2 Chapter 594： criminal

The children stayed for a while, and left on their own when they felt bored. In the end, only the old people were left, and this was exactly what Habayashi Xueying wanted. He began to chat with the old folks, and the topic slowly shifted to the high elves who had migrated from Quel'Thalas.

Habayashi Blood Eagle also gradually understood during the chat that these high elves who had migrated from Quel'Thalas, although they had various reasons and did not choose the territory they followed, they still had an understanding of being unknown. The migration of Bubai to Xitlan is still in a relatively hazy state of understanding.

The current group of high elves who migrated from Quel'Thalas are a little uncomfortable because they are far away from the Sunwell. They are no longer covered by the sunwell magic net, and the amount of magical energy they can absorb daily has decreased, so they just feel a little uncomfortable.

But as long as the sunwell still exists, no matter where the high elves are, they will feel it more or less, and the difference is only strong or weak.

These high elves were brought from Quel'Thalas to the Hinterlands indiscriminately. It must be a little uncomfortable at first, but these elf civilians are all elf civilians on the southern border of Quel'Thalas. They are the group of people farthest from the sunwell in the entire kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and their dependence on the sunwell is far less than that of the northern residents.

Those old villagers told Habayashi Xueying that this is actually just a small problem, as long as they live in Hinterland for a period of time, it will be fine. No matter where the high elves are, they will never break the connection with the sunwell. As long as the sunwell still exists, the high elves will feel it.

Habayashi Blood Eagle tried to ask the old villagers why these high elf commoners didn't have a lord they chose to follow, a question that had been bothering him.

Because if he wants to keep these civilians, this problem must be solved. If it is not resolved, it means that they will probably not follow him, and they will not be willing to become citizens in his territory. They may also move in the near future. Return to Quel'Thalas.

Originally Habayashi Xueying felt that this was a difficult problem for him to solve, but what he learned from these old villagers was exactly the opposite. In the eyes of those old villagers, this problem was very simple and easy to solve question.

Those old villagers said that these elf civilians scattered in the southern border, although there are various reasons for not choosing to follow a certain lord, but in general, most of the reasons are that they themselves or people in their previous lives committed crimes and fled to avoid being hunted down. to live there.

Otherwise who would be happy to be in a place where there is always war? It is the route that the Zul'Aman trolls often infiltrate to retaliate against the high elves. Living there is very dangerous even in normal times, and there are no high elf ranger troops stationed there, just some small ranger troops patrolling from time to time.

Who doesn't want to live in a safe place and live in peace? Who wouldn't want to live somewhere protected by a noble lord? It's not that they don't want to, it's that they are afraid that what they have committed before will be found out.

Living in a fief with a noble lord, although you have to pay taxes to the noble lord, you will also enjoy the protection of the noble lord's army. However, registration is required to live in the noble lord's territory, so many things from the past will be easily found out, so most of these people will choose to hide in the dangerous southern border of Eversong Forest.

High elves have a very high lifespan, but this also means that the guilt on their bodies will not disappear for a long time. So as time went on, the number of people on the southern border gradually began to increase. Some new ones did not dare to go back after committing crimes, while the descendants of the old ones got used to the environment there, so they seldom migrated to the north.

Therefore, these old villagers think that it is not difficult to keep these people in the Hinterlands. As long as the Habayashi Blood Eagle does not pursue their past, then there should be no problem in keeping them.

Habayashi Xueying understood, that is to say, these elf civilians who were forced to migrate here were basically either criminals themselves or the descendants of criminals.

This situation is similar to the Lingnan area in ancient China. The Lingnan area in ancient China was a remote place. Except for some garrisons in one place, most areas were almost outside the law. In order to strengthen the control of the border areas, the central government used the exile of prisoners with serious crimes to enrich the frontiers. This has been the case in all dynasties, and the population of Lingnan has gradually increased over time.

The southern border of the Eversong Forest in Quel'Thalas is very similar to the Lingnan region in ancient China. It is a place where criminals gather, or in other words, it is a natural prison.

The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas did not hunt them down after they fled there, but allowed them to settle there normally with a tacit attitude. UU Reading might have let them act as a defense Zul'Aman The idea of ​​a first line of defense for troll infiltration.

As long as they stay there obediently, the Judiciary of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas will not go after them, but will acquiesce in their living there, just not allowing them to return to the north.

Those people thought that they had escaped the legal sanctions of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, but how did they know that the southern border of Eversong Forest itself was not only a large natural prison but also a battlefield. What's the difference between being sentenced to death squad cannon fodder?

You ran into the prison yourself, why did the Judiciary of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas go in and arrest you? If you are arrested, maybe the punishment you will suffer is not that severe at all. It hurts others, right? Maybe those judiciary officers you just ran into the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas were still laughing behind their backs.

But does Habayashi Blood Eagle care whether these high elves are criminals or their descendants? of course not! Because for Quel'Thalas, Habayashi Bloodhawk himself is a criminal, a felon exiled.

He was sentenced to a heavier crime than these newly migrated high elf commoners from Quel'Thalas, never less. Because they were not deported and exiled like Habayashi Blood Eagle, so how could Habayashi Blood Eagle care about the past of these high elf civilians newly migrated from Quel'Thalas? As long as they are sure that they live in Tran, then anything is easy to talk about.

However, the words of these old villagers also made Habayashi Xueying wake up. Indeed, it is indeed time for Quel'Danis to register for a census. Therefore, census registration is a good measure to understand and control population flow across the country.
