I have a shelter
Chapter 20 Unexpected
Looking at this group of desperate villagers, George felt that he was almost done.
The villagers are different from the gangsters. They are naturally a group of sheep who do not know how to resist. The nobles' decrees and verbal intimidation can completely make this group of poor people who keep their own laws completely succumb.
"But the great patron god is merciful. He inspired me and gave me an oracle in my dream. By divine command, my territory became a place of salvation. Light penetrated the fog Shining there, I swear that the people I protect will never have to pay taxes."
Totally farting.
However, he played it extremely loudly: "Last night, He told me that there is a group of poor abandoned people here. There are terrible evil spirits who are secretly watching here. Soon, this place will be destroyed. The people buried in that hell "In the midst of fire."
"I can't just watch you poor people suffer such a disaster. So I led my loyal warriors and came here."
"But I can't give up that sacred place of refuge for you, so I won't stay long - there are two ways before you. One is to stay here, fulfill your obligations, pay your taxes, and then Wait for death. The second step is to abandon this ruined village and follow your lord, return to the sun and receive the salvation of the gods and my protection!"
Nobles and gods, these are the two most intimidating words in this feudal empire society.
And George added ‘evil’ after these two words.
No one would doubt that a noble lord, a guardian wearing a divine robe, would make up random stories. After all, if you offend the gods, you will go to hell.
What's more, the lord also said that there is no need to pay taxes.
The ignorant and simple villagers had never been educated and could not imagine that if the lord wanted to cut leeks, besides taxation, there were ten thousand ways to do it.
Therefore, in their eyes, places that do not charge taxes, whether there is sunshine or not, have become their only hope for survival.
So as this magic stick spoke every word, the crying gradually stopped. Until he finished speaking, the whole village was quiet for a moment, and then soft sobbing started again.
Then, it was like a flood that broke the dam, and the crying could no longer stop!
But the difference from before was that this time the cries no longer contained despair, but were full of hope and mixed with messy prayers.
God, I finally remembered these poor forgotten people.
Although most people were hypocrites before, at this time, the name of God is more useful than ever.
In the end, the villagers all knelt on the ground and began to pray and cry loudly toward the sky - although the prayer words some people said were completely wrong.
Some people even came around while crying, and even the scary Alexander was no longer afraid. Some of them were praying and praising the priests and lords, some were crying and complaining about their sufferings, and some were cautiously asking what kind of demon was coming to kill them. Is it the woman at the east end of the village? Attracted by madmen
Although after seeing that the village was full of old, weak, sick and disabled, George knew that the whole process would be very smooth. But he didn't expect that these words would have such a big reaction.
This was indeed somewhat beyond his expectation.
But he remembered this scene and remembered what kind of effect it would have in this apocalyptic world of faith and magic when he carried out the will of the gods to do things.
The enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the villagers were even stronger than those of the soldiers. In the process of packing things, some people even came over and begged, asking the lord to wait for a few people who were 'out hunting'.
Of course the Lord will wait for them. He has been talking nonsense for so long just so that those people can come back and be caught by him.
The population of these thirty or so households, including the babies, only adds up to a hundred or so people. It can be said that people are ridiculed.
Originally, in his opinion, if a family did not have seven or eight children, it would be a shame for this era.
But the premature death rate is too serious. If those who survive successfully are beautiful, it will be a hurdle. As a male, if you are strong, you will face a hurdle - you will be caught as a strong man.
Moreover, there were no fields opened in the mountains and forests, there was not enough food, and many people died of starvation and illness. And people who go out to look for food often never come back. Almost every step from birth to old age is like overcoming difficulties, and only one in a hundred people can live to be over 60 years old.
So this made George very troubled - he found that there were not only many old, weak, sick and disabled people here. And there are far more women than men too! The most important thing is that I eat very little!
‘Damn it, I’m not counting, I’m afraid this food won’t even last the whole winter.’ Looking at the small package of food packed by the thin villagers. He felt a little desperate.
He originally hoped to store some food here, but this is just bringing back a bunch of mouths!
However, he found that the elderly and women here are quite capable of working. If they are full, they probably don't need to be inferior to the men.
An old man tied up the fodder that could hold more than half of a carriage, lay on it and swayed for a few times, and carried it on his back. No help from anyone!
He can't even do this job himself!
And some of them are women carrying babies on their backs, so they don’t need men to do bad work!
Just can't be a soldier
"Don't bring hay or anything like that. There's plenty in the territory, and it's all yours." After letting those people put down the useless things, George rode his horse and looked around the village.
After looking around the village, he found that although the buildings here were low, it was only because of the saving of materials and habits, so they were not rough. Almost everyone of these fools he mentioned could do this kind of work, and although the village seemed to be withered, every item was very neat and orderly. It can be said that although these villagers were timid, they were very diligent!
When he saw the monastery before, he thought that even if those bandits were diligent, compared with other villagers, they were just lazy pigs who were lazy and gluttonous!
'I heard that there were originally more young and strong people, but most of them were taken away as slaves by the coal mine in the southwest. I remember that the coal mine was the viscount's territory, and the knight was also the viscount's man. It stands to reason that if they were taken away, they shouldn't go to dig coal, unless the knight was "independent". It seems that a lot of things must have happened in the viscount's territory. ’
At this time, You Hu came running over and said to the lord: "Sir, those people who ran away before have been brought back by several villagers."
George nodded, knowing that so far, it was a real catch: "You keep a close eye, I'm going to the river."
He is no longer needed here. Those villagers always want to come to him to confess and pray, which affects work efficiency. As for the river water, he is a little curious.
After saying that, George turned and left, and came to the river alone. He bent down to touch the river water and secretly touched his chin.
After becoming a god-favored person, he was extremely sensitive to the sacred power, and the surrounding environment was obviously different from other areas: 'It should not be my illusion, there must be something that can purify the river water upstream'
'It's really a paradise, but it's a pity that there is no living space for them here. '
George, who has the scroll, knows that there are more and more monsters, and they will spread here sooner or later. And the lords will destroy this place sooner or later.
'So, I'm not trafficking people, but saving you. Hehe. 'George felt that the red scarf on his neck became more colorful.
Please give me some votes, brothers.
