Civilization spreads to another world

Chapter 18 8. Understanding

Only then did Shi Yu and Huo Ci know that not all the nobles here used knives and forks to eat. Using knives and forks is a trend that has only emerged in recent years, and generally only uses spoons and hands.

Because the fork looked like the weapon in the hands of the dark devil Hash, it was firmly resisted by the nobles who believed in the God of Light.

The implication is that there are other gods?

Shi Yu and Huo Ci glanced at each other. They thought that the Holy See here was similar to Earth Christianity, but they didn't expect to believe in more than one god.

"Probably like various Bodhisattvas in Buddhism? Some people believe in Guanyin, and some people believe in Tathagata?"

Shi Yu guessed.

Huo Ci: "It should be."

Otherwise, there would not be only the Holy See as a belief institution, and it would have split into multiples with the Buddhism and Taoism on the earth.

But this is good news for them. There are many gods, and the gods will naturally come in all kinds of ways, and the scope of their fabrications has also increased.

As for which gods, we have to wait until they fully understand the beliefs here.

Berry doesn’t know all about it. According to her, each principality believes in different gods. For example, in the Blueneck Principality where they live, the Grand Duke believes in the God of Light, the Grand Duke of Blackstone next door believes in the God of Wisdom, and the Grand Duke of Green Needle believes in the Earth. God.

The ancestor of the Marquis of Changchang was the driver of the first Blue-necked Grand Duke. the Marquis.

As for why he, the Earl, would go to war with the Marquis, Berry didn't know. She was still young at that time, and later she occasionally heard the Marquis Changchang mention it, and only said that the Marquis of Red Rock had done something wrong.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci speculated that it might be a political reason.

Although the princes of the country here are like children playing house, but they are still a country, and there must be conflicts that should be there.

The two were very suspicious that the so-called war over the fork was probably just an excuse.

Since Marquis Changchang would invite Marquis Mingliang to be a guest, it means that the relationship between the two is still good. Marquis Mingliang knew the beliefs of Marquis Changchang, so why would he take out a fork in front of him.

Even if it was true that the fork irritated the Marquis of Long Chang and sent out the battle post in a fit of anger, no matter how you look at it, the Marquis of Brightness was deliberately provocative, provoking the other party, letting the other party take the initiative to fight, and then meeting the enemy, and winning.

It's hard not to suspect that he was premeditated.

"How long will it take for the new Marquis to take over?"

Berry couldn't answer.

"The new Marquis takes over, what will happen to the Earl, Viscount and Baron, who was conferred by the Changchang Marquis?"

Berry: "Killed or reduced to slavery."

She paused: "That's how Hill and the others came here."

"Hill?"

"The five people your lord rescued from the basement."

Shi Yu was surprised, he thought that the five slaves were specially raised from a young age, but he did not expect that they were of noble origin.

"Hill?" He read the name again, and found that there was no free translation, but a transliteration.

So far, the names they have heard all have free translations from Goldfinger, such as the village head's rice milk, Jin Yi's former Duojin, bluestone berry, etc. Hill is the first one without a free translation.

This is not surprising, not everyone's name can be translated into a specific noun, just like him and Huo Ci, the names of the two cannot be explained with a noun, and the serfs do not have a surname, and a single jade can be translated Cheng Yushi, Shi Yu cannot.

Moreover, the names of the serfs all come from real objects, not vague descriptions, like Huo Ci's words, even if a single word is separated, there is no way to translate it.

This should be the case with the name Hill.

Hill is a word in this world, but this word cannot be interpreted alone, or two unrelated words are combined, and there is no way to directly translate it.

"You have to learn the characters here." Shi Yu said, "Know yourself and your enemy."

Huo Ci agreed.

The two asked Berry to call the five of them over. They were so busy these two days that they didn't even have time to ask what the five children's names were. Since they were all from noble families, they should know some things better than Berry.

Five children, the oldest boy is 14 years old and the youngest girl is 11 years old.

Hill is the teenager.

There is a 13-year-old girl named Bernie, two 12-year-old boys named Keith and Yinnock, and a little girl named Wendolin.

Several people were called over suddenly, full of panic.

Shi Yu smiled gently: "I called you here because I want to ask you some questions. We are from the Kingdom of God, and we don't know much about many things in the lower world. I heard that you were born in noble families. How long will it take for the Marquis to take over?"

Several children had different expressions, the youngest Wendolin looked confused, Keith and Yinock were only trembling, and Hill and Bernie looked thoughtful.

Hill was the first to speak: "My lord, generally speaking, the vacancy in the territory will not exceed three months at the longest, and the shortest time is when the document from the Grand Duke is issued, and then you can come to take over. It will take about ten days."

Shi Yu's eyes lit up when he heard him say, "Have you ever read?"

Hill remained silent, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth, and finally leaned down: "Yes, I was the eldest son of the earl. My father was defeated and demoted to a slave."

Shi Yu's eyes brightened, looking at Hill as if he saw a treasure.

It is not uncommon for aristocrats to be born, but it is unusual for the eldest son!

The nobles in this world practice the primogeniture system, and almost all titles and properties are inherited by the eldest son. When the rest of the children grow up, if they are favored, they can get a manor, part of the territory, and even a title. If they are not favored, there are more children in the family. When they reach adulthood, they will be driven out to fend for themselves.

Many children of viscounts and barons were sent to the manors of other viscounts as knights at a very young age, at least they could keep their titles of nobility and not become commoners.

Others became tutors, or reduced to housekeepers and so on.

Therefore, among the nobles, the eldest son is very popular, and he is also educated and cultivated strictly.

Shiyu is currently in short supply of talents. If it wasn't for those servants crying and shouting that they only want to be servants and need to be observed, he wished he could catch them and train them immediately.

"Very good." He said happily, "Since you can read, come to me and we will teach you in person."

Although they are also teaching in the school now, what the school teaches is definitely different from what they bring with them.

Hill finally changed his face, with unbelievable surprise in his eyes, and knelt down: "Thanks to the envoy of God."

Seeing this, Benny followed without hesitation: "I am the daughter of the Marquis, and I can read and read. I can write and draw, and I can also do things for adults."

Of the three remaining, two were terrified by the previous torture, and one was dazed, only subconsciously following Hill and Benny to kowtow, not daring to speak.

Hill and Bernie begged.

Shi Yu then accepted the remaining three people as well, since he had to teach them anyway, if the three of them could learn well, they would also be helpers in the future.

If Hill and Benny left the three of them without mercy, he would have to think about it instead.

The next two spent three days learning about the world from Berry and Sir Benny.

And then found that the situation is not optimistic.

If there is no accident, at most one month, the newly appointed Marquis will send someone to Xiangkui Town.

The town of Xianggui was destroyed and burned in the fire.

Then there are two possibilities, one is that the Marquis temporarily abandons Xiangkui Town, and the other is that the Marquis sends his baron here to rebuild it.

For the first type, they can get a respite period of about half a year to a year, and for the second type, they will soon be found exposed.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci naturally hoped for the first type, but they had to prepare for the worst and prepare for the second type.

How can we be safe even if we are discovered.

Shi Yu thought for a while, and suggested: "How about we tie up that baron and find someone to pretend to be him?"

The new Marquis is the son of the Marquis of Brightness. According to his age, even if he has children, he is still young, and he will not be separated before he is separated. Therefore, the Baron who is assigned to Xianggui Town is definitely not his son, and he will not run away when he has nothing to do like Baron Baimu. Back to Hongxiang City.

As long as the baron is under control and taxes are paid on time, unless there is another war, they can keep the truth covered until they are willing to show up.

Huo Ci pondered for a moment: "It can be considered."

"Let Jin move to Hongxiang City." He said, "It happens that we don't have much salt."

They can grow food and vegetables, and the town residents who bring back the oil, soy sauce and vinegar will make them. There is only salt. There is no sea or salt mine here, so they can only buy it.

More than 1000 people are a lot of consumption every day.

And in order to give them strength, salt is essential.

This proposal was approved by two votes, and Jin Yi and the escort team were immediately arranged to travel.

Knowing that they were going to Hongxiang City, everyone was very active. Everyone in the guard team signed up, and even the newly selected group was eager to go.

The final selection was led by Qingshi, more than 30 people who had seen blood in the manor before.

Dressed neatly and carrying the steamed buns prepared for them by the cafeteria, the group set off in a mighty way.

Shi Yu looked at the backs of everyone, no longer anxious like the first time.

Sighing, he turned around, there were more important things to do, such as making gods.

This is their second proposal.

Regardless of whether the new baron will come or not, the two must prepare a reasonable identity for themselves.

"What is the name of our god?" Shi Yu asked.

Huo Ci thought for a while: "Jade Emperor? Tathagata? Queen Mother? Or Dragon King?"

Shi Yu was not in a good mood: "I've talked about it when I talked about Journey to the West. As an envoy of God, if it was mentioned, how could I not say it?"

Huo Ci touched his nose: "Then the Three Emperors and Five Emperors? Shennong Chiyou or something like that?"

Shi Yu shook his head: "It's too specific, it's not easy to play, people's stories are well placed there, let's not mess around, let's make up one ourselves."

Huo Ci lost his mind for a moment, imagination is really not his specialty.

"Yes." Shi Yu pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and wrote four words on the newly created paper:

goddess of peace.
