Geeky

Su Shi lay on the bed for a week, and when he woke up, there were two white pigeons parked on the window sill.

The pigeon was wrapped in silk around its neck, and "?????? (Noah's Ark)" was embroidered on the light blue silk. It was a carrier pigeon of the White Ship, and ordinary people could not see them.

Su tried to take down the two notes, and looked at one of the notes first:

"...I'm in the capital of the kingdom - Orbuda's Emerald King City. I'm currently an auxiliary priest, supervising discipline. Recently, there has been a heated debate in the priesthood about whether to enact a new rule of 'no underwear'" The positive side said that this can make life simpler, it is best not to wear underwear, everyone just put on a sacrificial robe; the negative side said that the release/experience will cause pornography, and it is recommended to use chastity shackles instead of underwear (I checked chastity Trousers were first recorded in a military technical manual in the fifteenth century, probably to prevent women from being raped/raped by soldiers... wait, why am I looking up this stuff?) Something bad seems to have happened in the palace, I always hear rumors of palace changes, but I can't find out the truth. After the murder of Duke Frissie, the factional struggles in the Emerald King City were very fierce, and it has reached a white-hot stage. The Brandt faction and the Frissie faction have developed To the extent of fighting swords on Wangcheng Street. The badge pattern of Brandt’s faction was first a big wooden stick, Frissi designed the badge pattern as a big hammer, and Brandt immediately changed the badge pattern into a melting pot... Until they fainted themselves. At this moment, the Emerald King City seems to be controlled by some kind of passion, like a group of flames caught in the east-west wind, burning either eastward or westward..."

Su Shi's brows could not help revealing a worried look, and it sounded like Wangcheng was in violence/chaos.But Celie Bonner changed her tune and went on to write,

"...But the life of the priesthood is generally very peaceful. Even in critical moments, the issue of underwear is still being discussed. I am as safe as a can of salted fish, please don't worry about me."

Su Shi smiled - Celie is a smart and considerate girl.

"By the way, I want to emphasize: I am now a [male] deacon.

— Presented by Celie Bonner (Jas Legris). "

Yanagisawa Kata's letter was much simpler. He was disguised as a government clerk, and the area where he was located had been occupied by the British army, but it had little effect on him, except that his immediate boss was replaced by an Englishman.

Su Shi stored the two letters in the system and got up from the bed.His body was still a little weak, but the "Holy Light Bodyguard" recovered from the trauma of the failed operation.

When he walked down the wooden ladder, there was a quarrel downstairs——

"... I don't know how long the city gate will be closed. Not only the price of wheat, but also the price of oats is skyrocketing every day! Marcel, Emily... and many people have bought food for two or three months Stock up, I told you on the day the city gate was closed that you should stockpile food! Now even the soldiers guarding the city say that the English are coming!"

"It's all the conspiracy of those profiteers! Before the English even came under the city walls, they started to raise the price of grain crazily!" My father clenched his fist, waved it twice in the air, and said angrily, "A pound of rye is 7 A sous! Six sous more than before! Even oats cost three and a half sous a pound, why don't these people rob!"

"But if you don't buy it today, it will go up even more tomorrow!"

The mother was emotional, but her voice was not strong, and her face was full of panic and fear, "The food at home is only enough for half a month..."

There was a look of hesitation on his father's face. Even if he was not unemployed, it would be a difficult choice for him to spend most of his income for half a year to buy food for one month.He said vaguely:

"...Perhaps the English will retreat soon? Then those who buy grain at a high price will be fools."

"But if they don't retreat, we will be starving in half a month, and maybe we can't even afford oats..." The mother cried sadly.Earlier, there was news that the British army had captured the French castle. Although the British army had not arrived at the city at this time, the shadow of the war had already spread in Luang, causing many citizens—especially the people at the bottom—to fall into a state of panic. .This also affected the mood of the mother, making her terrified.

Eric was originally only focused on eating, but when he heard his mother sobbing, he raised his head and said:

"...Don't be so worried about mother. The king of England came to the Shannon area a month ago and wanted to besiege Helandesin[1], but retreated after two weeks."

The father, who was somewhat affected by his wife's panic, heaved a sigh of relief and strengthened his belief in not wasting money.

"The strong city walls of Luang are famous throughout Frisia!"

He broke the bread again, throwing the crumbs into the vegetable soup in front of him.

The mother was somewhat comforted, but still looked worried.Eric couldn't help but said:

"Besides, I'm starting to make money now."

He hoped to be praised, but his father's face was pulled down, and he snorted heavily.

Su Shi noticed that Eric was wearing the uniform of a patrol guard, which was symmetrical in black and red.Guards are not a good job, their status is low, and they will inevitably be injured in fights. If they are unlucky, they don't know when they will die. Most of the guards in towns are peasant boys from the countryside.

For a clard player who had been employed by a well-known local family, it was obviously humiliating for his son to serve as a guard.Yet even this humiliating occupation was recommended to Eric by enthusiastic neighbors.And my father hides at home most of the time and is depressed, thinking that he lost his job because he did not get the appreciation he deserved.

He had worked as a temporary worker in a theater for several years, and had worked for a famous family for more than ten years, but he never seemed to have lived.His age is like the sand in the river, and the passage of time on him only reveals more of his ignorance of the world in which he lives.
