Please abide by the Basic Law

Cecil convened the first collective meeting of the "Gay Knight Village" and yelled at everyone: "Anyone who dares to defecate anywhere, Moyer will let him 'harden all the time'!"

After a while of silence, someone raised his hand and asked, "What is 'all-weather hard straight'?"

Moyer used this questioner to show everyone the "all-weather straightness". All the men gasped, and the unhealthy tendencies were stopped in time.

This was close to the range of corporal punishment, but Cecil didn't regret it at all. The smell of the village had returned to a civilized society, and he didn't have to be careful not to step on mines when walking.

Several pieces of soap produced by the soap shop are placed in the aging process. The cold weather is beneficial to the aging process. The volume of the soap will shrink after the water is reduced.Cecil carved three molds with complex patterns out of hardwood, one of which was made into the blood rose of the regimental emblem at the suggestion of Langdon, he copied the uniform all night but failed to make it, and finally found a professional With the help of the knight who carved the tombstone, it was finally done.

The soap in these three molds is also added with saffron liquid, hoping to bring some fragrance, but there is no way, it is too expensive to go back and forth from Toto Port, so far Cecil has not had the opportunity to see what spices are available, or Find a leak in "Medical Supplies".

Every time he looked at the soap that was maturing, Cecil looked forward to taking a hot bath. It might take a while to build a private bathroom, but it is still possible to find a way to build a public bathroom.

The kang business in Ebo is in full swing, and the dignitaries of Ebo are busy welcoming the arrival of the magician. At the same time, the last room in the gay knight village is also equipped with a kang.

On the same day, Cecil summoned the stewards to discuss the matter of building a bathhouse, and the location was of course at home.After waiting for a while, only four people came, and he asked strangely, "Where's Eugene?"

"The knight commander of the legion does not participate in the discussion of specific matters." Langdon said, "In contrast, in the event of a battle, we must unconditionally obey his military command."

Cecil: "..."

Well, which time-traveling predecessor established this system?Why don't you come to a political commissar again?

In any case, this was not the first concern, and Cecil was just about to speak with great interest, when there was a knock at the door, and before he could answer, a young face opened the door and leaned in, saying: "The fire is gone. .”

Cecil replied reflexively, "Order one more."

"I mean, the fire won't start," said the young knight. "The walls are failing."

Langdon had warned that this might happen, but Cecil had no idea that it would come so soon. Just to get a toilet, eat hot food, and install a kang, the city wall composed of hardwood fences no longer had a "state" rights.

A group of people ran around the village, and sure enough, all the fires were extinguished, the pulp cooled down inexplicably, and even the mixed reaction of stirring the soap disappeared for some reason, and no matter how much it was stirred, no white soap liquid could be obtained.

Everything went back to the cold magical world when Cecil first arrived.

The others were very calm, even the Ebo people, who stopped working, chatted and chatted, and no one showed any anxiety, as if it was a matter of course--it was a matter of course for them--Cecile couldn't do it. He felt that he had been stripped naked and thrown into the icy world. Everything he saw was icy white, without any sign of life.

"Can kneading make a city wall?" Cecil asked after Langdon.

"As I said, it is very difficult to build a city wall with any magic." Langdon said helplessly, "This is a restriction of some kind of natural law on magic..." He looked into Cecil's eyes and sighed, "If you If you don’t believe me, I can come and give it a try.”

In fact, as Langdon said, the spell that can easily make a house can't make a small section of wall at all, as if there is something blocking it, the mud that was obedient when making the house fell on the city wall, and it would fall back into pieces of soil as soon as it fell .

Cecil was about to collapse, and now he deeply felt the loss and helplessness of the Ebo people when the air conditioner was broken.

"Is there any way?" Cecil looked at the others.

"No." Moyer said first, "I'm not a ground resident."

"Did you never expect this?" Oakes' tone was obviously dissatisfied, "The development of civilization must be accompanied by the development of city walls, isn't it?"

"That's all I've done!" cried Cecil angrily. "I've just fed and kept people warm and I haven't done anything! I haven't even built a damn steam engine, although I Neither!"

The principal looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Calm down, Commander Cecil." Russell said gently, "We will ask the temple for help..."

"Can they bring the walls in a few days?" Cecil asked brusquely.

"...No." Russell smiled. "However, after full consideration, I believe that the temple will recognize your achievements and send enough people to help us build the city wall."

"This place doesn't even have any clay, what a city wall to build!" Cecil couldn't help telling the truth, "Besides, burning bricks requires not only clay but also fire. Without walls, there is no fire. No bricks without fire, no walls without bricks, fuck the laws of nature!"

Cecil is really in a hurry, not only because of the sudden crisis, but also because they have made so much effort and achieved so many things, and they have to give up when they are about to get on the right track. The huge sunk cost makes him painful endlessly.

Fuck the laws of nature!

Cecil broke the dead silence: "I want to pray to God."

"I heard from Luther that you prayed to the god last time." Langdon said tactfully, "What the god couldn't do last time, can't do it this time either. This is an escalation of the incident..."

"I want to sacrifice more things." Cecil was unwilling to give up.

Langdon's expression became serious: "What are you going to sacrifice?"

This really stumped Cecil.

First of all, this kind of sacrifice is equivalent to cutting something off your body directly, but it is not responsible for dealing with subsequent wounds. Except for hair, he really can't think of anything that can be removed without affecting your health, including nails are very important.

Secondly, it is useless to recruit another traffic police uncle. The traffic police uncle couldn't help him conjure a city wall last time, and he can't do it this time. So, what if the god summoned by sacrificing an organ is useless?

"Are you sure you want to build a city wall here?" Langdon said, "This is not our territory, and it may be transferred to other places in the future. How much are you willing to pay to build a 'nation' here?"

Cecil completely calmed down.

"Think about it, it's not a big problem if you don't have a kang for one night," Langdon said.

It's true that the weather is not below zero, and it's not a problem for people to stay up all night, but Cecil can't sleep at all.In the middle of the night, he tossed and baked the "bed cake" for a long time, got up and walked out of the house, wrapped his clothes tightly and ran on the grassland after shivering.

The moon hangs high in the sky, and the night sky presents a beautiful deep blue. Cecil exhales white air. After running for a few laps to warm up, he stops and walks slowly. Unknowingly, the sky turns light, and the dawn is coming. This grassland.

Do you want to pray to God here?

The appendix is ​​a good choice for sacrifice. Cecil asked Langdon in detail about the relationship between praying to gods and healing magic. Healing magic cannot return the sacrificed organs, but it can heal the remaining parts. Once healed there is no health problem.

However, do you really need to pay this price?What if I leave here later?Or, what if there is a time when we need to pray to God more in the future?

Only a few parts are limited to one person, and God prays for one less use. Except for the appendix, it seems that only the liver is left. Although it can grow back, repeated liver cutting is not a solution.

Cecil was so entangled, thinking about all kinds of possibilities over and over again, until he ran into a figure head-on.

"Good morning, Master Knight." It was a middle-aged man who was unfamiliar, and he could tell that he was an Ebo from his appearance. What a cruel world, "Would you like to take a walk?"

"...No." Cecil said casually, "Are you ready to go home?"

"Huh?" The middle-aged man didn't know, so he said authentically, "No, I'm going to get the brine."

Cecil was stunned for a moment: "There's no fire, and it's useless to get brine."

"It doesn't matter, the knight master said, it will be resolved soon." The middle-aged man said, "Oh, I really don't want to go home after sleeping in the kang house. It wasn't so warm when there was a seasonal regulator. , in real winter, if you block the house tightly in the middle of the night, you will still wake up from the cold. Well, if there is no winter god's curse, you can light a fire in the house. I'll go first, Lord Knight!"

Cecil stared blankly at the middle-aged man drifting away, and suddenly thought of one thing: the Knights can withdraw on the spot, what about the Ebo people?

If there is no heated kang, Ebo will become a dead city this winter. This is not an exaggeration.The dignitaries can go to other cities to escape, or use magic to keep warm, but they don’t care about the life and death of the civilians. Bills’ refusal to issue a permit to leave the city shows his nature. At this juncture, what he considers is not how the civilians spend the winter, but People are gone, what about the business in the coming year?

There are Highgarden elves who are closer to Ebo. Even if the Highgarden elves allow Ebo people to enter the city, these people will have to walk for about two months in the cold winter with their families. It took 20 days to reach the potato collection place with the Roman beast, not to mention that the High Court is in a real plateau terrain, and ordinary people used to have the kind of altitude sickness.

The one-and-a-half-month journey to Toto Port is relatively short, and the temperature is good. However, Toto Port will never receive Ebo refugees and is equipped with strong armed forces. Even if the Ebo people get there, they will be ruthlessly driven into the wild.

The departure of the Gay Knights means that the civilians of Ebo are in a desperate situation.

Cecil ran into Langdon on the edge of the village.

"News from the temple..."

"I'm going to pray." Cecil interrupted Langdon and said, "I won't leave."

Langdon was silent for a moment: "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Cecil said more and more firmly, "I will not leave. Everything here is built by me. I have the power and the obligation. I will not leave."

Langdon stared at Cecil and nodded, "I'll go get ready and pray to God today."
