Proof of the Sun King

ps: The second update today!

Early the next morning, Raymond and others followed Bono into the city. This serf would take in Raymond and others obviously not for nothing. At least Raymond, who had a full meal, and his old mother and younger brother Thomas all helped him. I carried a basket of vegetables, including tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower, and corn, as well as high-quality horse feed such as soybeans and black beans. According to Bono, these vegetables are sold well in the city, and many free people are no longer there. Satisfied that all three meals are bread, and vegetables in different patterns are what they want.

Several people walked towards the town of Jean, and the road was full of pedestrians and traffic jams.

"God, that's a dwarf?" Raymond was carrying vegetables, and he noticed a few dwarves on the road wearing funny thick clothes and carrying tools on the road.

Raymond had never seen a dwarf, and there were only word-of-mouth legends among the serfs, saying that dwarves were stingy and cruel creatures who would pour molten iron down the throats of humans to force them to tell their secrets.

"Yeah, it's our dwarf friend." Bono had already seen the strangeness, and the serf said loudly: "This is the greatness of Earl Ryan, the dwarves in the mountains are also willing to be his friends, and the elves in the forest are also willing to be his friends. would like to be his friend."

"Elves?! My God, I only saw an elves when I was instructed to go shopping." The old mother muttered to herself. After a solid night of rest and a full meal, she recovered somewhat.

Pedestrians on the side of the road are crowded with people, everyone is talking about what happened recently, the serfs are curious about what happened in the north, otherwise why have a large number of fugitive slaves from the north come to Earl Lane's territory recently?

The serfs were curious, but not flustered. They seemed to firmly believe in Earl Lane and his army, and any powerful enemy would fall in front of the Earl. Approved.

"Five years ago, the Holy Grail Knight, the Lady's God's Choice Champion Earl, came here. He promulgated new laws and then put forward new slogans. To be honest, we don't understand a lot of what he said before. ” Bono said to Raymond with a basket of vegetables on his back: “But there is a sentence that firmly grasped our hearts, our earl said, let all the hard-working people in the territory, every week You can eat chicken once!"

"Ah!" Raymond opened his mouth wide, thinking to himself that there is such a lord?

"Five years have passed, and our dream is gradually coming true. Now my family still can't eat meat once a week, but once a month is still fine. We are no longer hungry, and we have some food at home. We can eat brown bread. Less, more wheat porridge and fish, and better barley bread, life is getting better and better, and we sincerely thank the Count for everything that he has brought us." Bono said very seriously: " Whoever opposes our earl, I, Bono, will be the first not to agree!"

It is said that the South is good, the South is good, is the South really so good? Raymond just sighed. Along the way, he didn't see any idlers who got drunk on the side of the road, nor did he see any serfs with yellow faces and thin skin. Everyone's faces were full of confidence and vitality, and some serfs even wore New clothes, ruddy face after eating.

It was a linen dress, and God knows how much it cost?

The merchants drove the carriages. The carriages didn't know what was inside, but they made rumbling noises. Occasionally, a patrol passed by. They were in good spirits, the queues were orderly, and their steps were neat.

And a team of pointy ears! These wood elves wore single clothes even in the late winter season, but added an animal skin cloak outside. They escorted a large number of goods and mixed with the human team. Raymond even noticed that some merchants took the initiative to say hello. The proud elf also responded positively.

OMG! God, not everyone said that elves are a group of cruel and ruthless high-level creatures. As long as they heard the word elves, the Raymond family would be scared into cold sweats.

The pointy ears were privileged, the humans avoided their ranks, and the wagon train of the Wood Elves quickly disappeared ahead.

"God, this is the first time I've seen elves, they don't seem to hate us very much..." Raymond whispered towards Bono.

"These elves are called wood elves. They are very temperamental and don't like to communicate with people very much, but if you want me to say, they are still good people. Last time I got sick, the medicine used to treat the disease was traded by wood elves. It’s cheap, and the wood elves occasionally come to us to buy medicinal materials. If anyone has stock in hand, they can take the opportunity to make a small profit~ From this point of view, these pointed ears are not bad.” Bono also replied in a low voice: “ Of course, the earl has orders, we should not speak in front of them, it will be bad if it is regarded as a provocation."

"It should be." Raymond said with lingering fears.

There are many signs on the roadside, pointing to the direction of the prison, the earl seems to be very humane considering that the vast majority of serfs are illiterate, so the road sign is a somewhat strange cartoon.

The cartoon depicts a serf working hard, a serf working hard, and then the knights holding bread and porridge in their hands, giving food to the serf, and then writing down the very simple words, "work" and "bread".

Such a simple cartoon can be understood by even the most ignorant serfs. It is nothing more than work in exchange for food. Seeing this, the Raymond family is a little determined that work in exchange for food is fair and what they want.

The meaning of the existence of serfs is to work for the lords in exchange for food and the right to survive. At the same time, the lords will also provide military protection for their subjects. This rule has lasted for thousands of years in the world and will continue in the future, Earl Ryan. Asking these fugitive slaves to trade work for food proves that he needs fugitive slaves.

In need of fugitive slaves, he would definitely not execute and exile these poor people casually.

Serfs never rejected hard work, they feared hard work and starved to death.

After walking for a few hours along the way, Raymond felt a little numb from the novelty.

In the distance, a towering city wall and city gate appeared in front of Raymond, standing on the ground like a god. The five- or six-meter-high city wall blocked the sight of travelers. When they saw the city gate, the earl's family crest appeared. The icon of Zhang and the fairy in the lake also appeared in front of them.

In the red and white coat of arms is the golden chalice design, then a sword through a book, two ribbons around the coat of arms, and a family motto written below it that the serfs could not understand.

The gates of the city were crowded with carriages and people who wanted to enter the city, serfs, freemen, merchants, dwarves, wood elves, and many knights who came to seek guidance. It's a ranger knight who wants to come under Ryan's command and become his subordinate.

Wood elves, dwarves, and nobles are obviously the most advanced people.

Only today, the situation is a little different. Whether it is serfs, free people, merchants, or knight nobles or elf dwarves, they all give way and let a female knight and her attendants enter the city first.

This is a very beautiful female knight, with long golden hair, a sassy figure, a stunning appearance of national beauty and heavenly fragrance, and a perfect figure riding a war horse, slowly entering the town of Jien with the respect of everyone, entering the city During the process, cheers were endless, and everyone was shouting "Hello, our Countess" and "Hello, Madame Sulia!".

"Kneel down!" Bono quickly motioned for Raymond and the others to kneel, and everyone watched the female knight slowly enter the city.

"That is?"

"That's our Countess! She is the daughter of the Duke of Winford, and the Earl's fiancee, the future Countess! The Countess is very good! Everyone loves her!" Bono quickly kowtowed, in a voice full of admiration said.

"Oh~oh!" Raymond had seen the lady of the knight master, she was a woman who spoke in a strange tone and was cunning and mean. She liked to play tricks on the serfs for fun, and the serfs in the village hated her secretly.

It seemed that things were different here, Raymond thought secretly.

After queuing for a while, a group of people entered the city, part of the sky disappeared behind the towering city walls, and there were many vendors, small vendors and store owners were selling things at the door, selling vegetables, meat, and For clothes, the variety of vendors dazzled the Raymond family. On both sides of the street were neat two-storey houses, many of which were beautifully decorated.

The old mother was the most surprised. She was the only one in the family who had been to the city when she was young.

There is no stench in the imagination. In the memory of the old mother, the city is always full of stench. There are human excrement, chicken and duck excrement and countless garbage on both sides of the road. Residents on the edge of the city have to be with garbage all day long: " Here...it doesn't seem to be the same."

"You mean rubbish? Times have changed." Bono obviously knew this all too well: "The Count and his courtiers taught us to irrigate our fields with dung, and if I say it, it worked really well... just a little stinky. , but it is generally acceptable. Since the first daring guy's farm has increased production, manure is now a sought-after thing, and everyone is rushing for it. Human manure, pig manure, and horse manure are all precious. , the treasure of our civilians."

"Now there are toilets everywhere in the city. People are convenient in it, and then the feces will be transported out of the city. Everyone wants to have more crops in their fields. If they pay enough for the earl, the rest can be theirs!"

"Hey, we're going to part here!" Bono pointed to the place where there was a large crowd of people in front of him: "That's the prison."

"Okay!" Raymond put down the basket containing the vegetables and pulled his family hard into the crowded crowd.

There are too many people, there may be more than 100 people, almost all of them are runaway slaves from the north~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The crowd is crowded together, and there is a strong body odor from each other, like a piece of stinky meat. .

But these are still within the range of Raymond and others, and they squeezed hard to the front of the crowd.

There were more than a dozen fully-armed soldiers in the ward. In addition, a man who appeared to be a sergeant stood on the high platform. His bossy and arrogant appearance reminded Raymond of many knights.

Behind the table are many businessmen, shop owners, and even dwarves, who are all here to recruit workers.

"Outlanders! I'm Denis! I have good news here, and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

"Bad news!" yelled one of the runaway slaves, who looked young, with a stubby head and no beard.

"The bad news is that a lot of fugitive slaves from the north have poured into towns recently, and many jobs have been recruited. Many of you who want to be apprentices to dwarves and work in textile workshops should hurry up!"

"Then... what about the good news?" a fugitive slave shouted.

"The good news is that we have countless jobs and farmland to be cultivated here, only you can't do them, and there are no jobs that we don't have!!!" The sergeant took out a lot of paper from his pocket: "So, tell me Me, brethren, who wants to be full?! Who wants to work for lunch and dinner, and a glass of barley wine after get off work?!"

"I! I!!" The crowd was crazy and crowded towards the front.

"Who wants to work hard for the Count? In exchange for the right to settle here?"

"I! I! I!!!" Hundreds of fugitive slaves in the prison had red eyes and shouted loudly. They stretched out their hands towards the sergeant.

"Then let's start!" I want to chat with more like-minded people about "", WeChat pays attention to "Youdu Literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
