The Legend of the Cultivation World

Lower Than Animals

The roar of the sound of the horse's footprints pierced the silence in the forest. Two adult men in their 40s and 50s ride horses at a moderate pace.

They were none other than envoys from the City of Madya. Today was the seventh day they had left Madya City after getting Arya's order to go to the Silver Association for help.

"Deswara, are you sure they'll help us? All I know is that the Silver Association will only sell their products to the rich and influential."

Sense had doubts on his face. Both he and Deswara were already aware of the attitudes of the workers working in the Silver Association.

Long before Arya asked them to go to the Central Silver Association. Indera and Deswara have visited several branches of the Silver Association to ask for similar assistance, namely food sources.

At that time or rather 5 years ago, the city of Madya was hit by a food crisis after a 3-month storm hit the area.

Unlike the other cities that had protection formations. The city of Madya had none at all. As a result, Kota Madya suffered severe damage and the fields that are the main food source were also damaged, resulting in farmers experiencing crop failure.

Already several times the people of Madya City asked for help from the Palace and other Cities. But they all did not respond at all to the request from the people of Madya City.

As a result, more than 10,000 residents of Madya City died after being hit by a prolonged food crisis. This is one of the factors that make the people of Madya City hate the Palace and other Cities.

"We have no choice but this, Indera. There's no way we're gonna let what happened 4 years ago happen again. Now we can only hope that the central Silver Association can help with this."

Deswara tries to convince Indera not to get discouraged. He of course understood the source of his friend's doubt when it came to visiting the Silver Association.

According to Deswara it was only natural that Sdera had any doubts at this time towards the Silver Association's side. It used to be when they were with some other people from Madya City asking for help to the Silver Association branch. They were immediately expelled, even treated inhumanely.

In front of people from other cities. The people of Madya City are looked at with one eye and have a lower position than even animals, because they are the worst of the worst.

Hearing the words from Deswara a wry smile was instantly etched on Indera's face. Now there was no retreat and the two of them were now bearing the living burden of the 2 million residents of Madya City.

Some time later Deswara and Indera were able to see the Capital of Wirabhumi after coming out of the forest path. The two took a deep breath and mentally strengthened, then stepped forward towards the main gate.

Deswara and Indera dismounted from their horses upon entering the examination queue. The cynical look they immediately received from the people who were already there.

They looked down on Deswara and Indera when they saw the appearance of the two men who were like they were from a remote countryside in a remote corner of the country.

Of course, the people who are waiting in line are not from the lower classes. They were all wealthy merchants and had influence within the Kingdom, not even a few of them were Swordsmen and disciples of the famous Martial Sect.

Deswara and Indera could only bow their heads realizing that they were incomparable to those people. The two then kept a little distance from them so as not to get into trouble.

When the day is near evening the long queue is reduced. Now it is Deswara and Indera's turn to check in before they can enter the capital Wirabhumi.

Several other soldiers also similarly asked Deswara and Indera to leave or rather drive them out blatantly.

The soldier said he had to close the main gate because soon the sky would turn dark. They told Deswara and Indera that there were already rules to ban migrants from entering during the night.

Hearing that clearly made Deswara and Indera feel disappointed. They had long been queuing up from the morning, even being forced back as some people cut their queues.

"Sorry gentlemen, but we can't camp outside anymore. There's something important we have to do in the capital." Deswara pleaded with a soldier to let himself and Indera inside.

In order to prevent the events of 4 years ago, Deswara ignored his pride and pleaded with his knees before the soldiers who continued to prevent him from entering the Capital.

The soldier clucked in annoyance as Deswara touched his feet. Angrily he then kicked Deswara until he knocked the man down.

Deswara spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood after his chest was kicked violently by the soldier. He then held onto his chest which felt extremely painful while lowering his head.

The senses that saw Deswara get hurt instantly helped him. He then decided to help the man stand up. Naturally Indera felt annoyed and wanted to teach a lesson to a warrior who had a cultivation realm several layers below.

But Indera's intention was of course immediately prevented by Deswara who asked him to exercise restraint, knowing that the problem would become more complicated when dealing with the security of the Capital.

The soldier turned his gaze towards the two horses belonging to Deswara and Indera. Seeing the horses looking healthy and well groomed, he then had the thought to have them.

"Well I'll let you two in. But of course you two should give me a tip." The soldier smiled cunningly while gesturing that he wanted a horse belonging to Deswara and Indera.

I had no choice because it was getting dark. Deswara and Indera eventually handed over their beloved horses to the soldier to let him into the Capital.

Once inside the Capital they again got an unpleasant look from everyone. Deswara and Indera could only cluck inwardly, feeling the residents of the Capital were too haughty.

Deswara and Indera then look for lodging to stay overnight. But in finding lodging they are both very difficult, because some of the inns they visit always refuse.

In the end they found a small inn in a corner of the Capital whose condition was far from decent. Once inside Deswara and Indera were immediately greeted by some acute drunks who were relaxing on the first floor.

Deswara and Indera went straight to the reception desk to avoid trouble with the drunkards, then booked a room.

"The overnight price is 5 gold pieces and for two people 10 gold pieces." Said an old man lazily as he looked at Deswara and Indera.

Hearing the price of an overnight stay that was quite expensive, of course Deswara and Indera realized that they were both being cheated.

But Deswara and Indera again had no choice. They then pay the cost of staying with all the travel money already given by Arya.
