Chapter 52: The Celebrant of Ceremonies

Racial prejudice has a long history.

After the Odin established the kingdom of Yakel, they continued to suppress the Yodelmans, who had a much larger population base.

Nearly two hundred years ago, Arker VII succeeded to the throne, and soon after he took office, he issued a proclamation declaring that the Yodelman was a greedy, stupid, and lowly race. and gathered troops, vowing to slaughter the Yodelmans.

For three years, millions of yodelmen were slaughtered!

At first, the king's soldiers would slaughter unarmed yodelman civilians with swords and machetes, but later, when the king found that this killing efficiency was not obvious, he recruited sorcerers and witches to plant curses and spread plague in the yodelman settlement.

That's millions of people! Within three years, they were all dry bones!

After those three years, the population of the mainland has shrunk by one-tenth!

During that time, the rivers on the continent flowed not with water, but with bright red blood!

History calls these three years the Age of the River of Blood.

In the fourth year of the massacre, Yaker VII died violently, becoming one of the shortest-lived kings in history.

After the violent death of Arker VII, the six-year-old Arker VIII succeeded to the throne, and the Age of Blood River came to an end...... Although Arker VII is dead, racists have always existed......

"Greedy, stupid, lowly yodelman, put down your dagger, or my warrior will not only kill you, but your whole family!" the white-faced fat man shouted angrily, his eyes wide as if they were about to fall out.

"Pizza! Good job! Looks like today's dagger is the right one!" Ryder ran over, spat at the white-faced fat man, and scolded: "If you dare to shout again, I'll cut your tongue off! You let your samurai call Grandpa Pizza three times! I'll let Pizza let you go!"

Pizza?

Why is it called Pizza?

Peake was stunned for a moment, and then, he reacted, he can't use his real name at this time, otherwise this group of people will come to Heping Town to find trouble in the future, wouldn't it be bad, he and Ryder looked at each other for a while, and saw the evil taste in each other's eyes.

"Release Lord Nukis, he's the courtesy, and if you hurt him, your whole family will suffer!" said the sharp-faced warrior with his sword drawn, threatening.

"What is a ceremonial officer?" Ryder had never heard of that title, and his lack of knowledge did not mean that Peak did not know, but Peake had read all the books on his grandfather's shelf.

The ceremonial officer is not a specific official position, but a general term for a class of people in the royal palace, and in the beginning, the king established this position to teach the noble children etiquette, and later, the position of ceremonial officer changed its taste.

The king found that he could learn from the ceremonial officer the secrets of the various nobles or ministers, and understood the dynamics of the courtiers, and gradually the ceremonial officer became the eyes and ears of the king to supervise the nobles and ministers.

By now, people like ceremonial officials have been put on the surface, and the king directly appointed them to supervise hundreds of officials and nobles in various places.

They have no official position, no title, but they have incomparably terrifying power!

Why?

Because they are the eyes of the king, the ears of the king, the mouth of the king! Sometimes, they can even be the hands of the king!

Pique has read the history books of the Arkel Empire, and there is a royal scandal recorded in detail in the history books: the Arkor Empire has a calendar of 221 years, and Arker VIII succeeded to the throne, because Arkel VIII is still young, and the government is controlled by ceremonial officials for 20 years!

If the kingdom is compared to the landlord's house, the ceremonial officer is the steward, and when the landlord is not at home, the ceremonial officer is the most powerful person in the family!

Thinking of this, Peake knew that he might be in trouble, but the situation had developed to this point, and even if he handed over the dagger, the consequences would only be worse.

Thankfully, they don't know who they are, and now they just need to find a chance to slip away.

Ryder said at this time: "But if you move first, if you dare to shout, my Pisa brother will wipe the neck of your hostess!"

"Don't! Okay, we have something to say!" After a long confrontation, the white-faced fat man finally calmed down, he felt that it was important to save his life first, he continued: "Let me go, I can give you a hundred gold coins!"

"A hundred gold coins?" Ryder was shocked, he had never seen gold coins a few times in his life, even if it was his grandfather's small vault, there were only seven or eight gold coins, this white-faced fat man opened his mouth to be a hundred gold coins, he couldn't help but believe it.

Ryder said: "This fat man must be deceiving people, Pisa, he actually deceived us with such a shoddy lie, he just looks down on our IQ, I think we should wipe his neck!"

"I don't lie to you! I really have a hundred gold coins!" The white-faced fat man was finally frightened, and ordered the four warriors: "Why don't you get the money quickly, and give it to these two yods...... Compensation sir!"

The sharp-faced warrior reluctantly took a money bag from his waist, threw it to Ryder, and said, "No, this is your compensation, you release the ceremonial officer first, and then give you the remaining fifty gold coins!"

Fifty gold coins in this?

Ryder opened the bag and looked, and the bright gold was reflected in his pupils.

What a gold coin!" He trembled in fright, and the money bag fell directly to the ground.

He'd never seen so many gold coins!

"Let go, sir!"

Ryder was already scared stupid, and at this time he also knew that he had messed with the wrong people.

A samurai beside him can easily take out fifty gold coins......

"If I let this ceremonial officer go now, you'll cut us in half at once. Peake shook his head and said, "There's no way we're going to let him go." ”

"Yes......! We can't let him go!"

"What the hell do you want?" It seems that the two yodelmen are not as easy to deceive as they think, and the sharp-faced samurai suddenly feels a little tricky.

"Unless you throw away your weapons, drive all the horses away, and run five hundred meters away from us. Ryder felt he was thoughtful.

The sharp-faced samurai said, "Impossible! We need horses and weapons to keep the ceremonial officer safe!"

"I have a way, you don't need to throw away your weapons, you don't need to drive away your horses, and you don't need to go five hundred meters away. Peake said, "If you promise me, I will release your hostess." ”

The sharp-faced samurai said, "Say it." ”

Peake groaned for a moment and said, "Before I say that, I have to ask what you're doing here?"

The sharp-faced samurai looked at the white-faced fat man, the white-faced fat man nodded, and after he got permission, he said, "We are going to Peace Town." ”

Peake and Ryder glanced at each other, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

It's okay for them to go somewhere else, but they are going to Heping Town, and if they meet in Heping Town in the future, won't they have to find trouble.

Thinking of this, Peake picked up the money bag and threw it to the sharp-faced warrior, saying, "We don't want your gold coins, but you have to answer my last question, what are you doing in Peace Town?"

Seeing this, Ryder felt pity in his heart, but he also knew that those gold coins did not belong to them, and they should not be accepted.

The sharp-faced warrior accepted the gold coin, looked puzzled, and then said, "We are going to the mayor's house in Heping Town, and the ceremonial officer is in charge of supervising the nobles and officials, and the peace town and nearby towns are supervised by this lord." ”

Peake's heart moved: Could it be that this ceremonial officer is targeting the mayor of the town? Then maybe he can tell him about his father's unjust death, but this is the case......

At this time, Pique remembered Zhu Tian's voice in his heart: "Don't be naΓ―ve, Pique, you are eager for this greasy fat man to preside over justice for you, it is better to give me your body, and I will help you carry out a wave of assassinations." ”

"Why can't this man be trusted?" asked Peake, "but he's in charge of overseeing the nobles and officials?"

"Have you read all the history books in vain?" Zhu Tian said sarcastically: "Even if this fat man believes your words, you must think that he can help you? He can buy his own life with a hundred gold coins, and he can also sell your life with a hundred gold coins!"

Peake shuddered, and he instantly thought of several stories in the history books about the ceremonial officials who messed up the palace because of wealth and sex.

Peake exhaled, dispelled the idea of asking for help from the ceremonial officer, and said, "You four samurai go to that carriage now, and when we go five hundred meters, we will let your ceremonial officer go back." ”

The sharp-faced samurai smiled secretly, and thought: At a distance of five hundred meters, the time for my war horse to take a few breaths will come, and then let the two of you kneel in front of grandpa and beg for mercy!

"Okay! I promise you!" On the surface, the sharp-faced samurai looked calm. "You can't hurt the Lord of Ceremonies. ”

"Let's go!" Peake got out of the carriage, still slung the dagger to the ceremonial officer's neck, and the three of them walked out together. "After we get out of the five hundred meters, we will naturally let your ceremonial officer go back. ”

Peake watched the four samurai get into the carriage, and after entering the carriage, his heart suddenly calmed down.

Soon, they had walked five hundred meters, and the delicate carriage had disappeared from their sight, and this distance was absolutely safe!

"Go back, but your hat will have to be kept!" said Peake. "And your clothes have to be taken off. ”

The white-faced fat man hesitantly took off his golden hat, then took off his coat, handed it to Pique, and began to walk back.

Ryder said, "Peake, what are you doing with his hat and clothes?"

Peake smiled silently, played with the golden hat in his hand, and saw the exaggerated embroidery of three large golden characters on it, "Etiquette Officer", he was thoughtful.

This golden hat is a good thing!
