Chapter 474: Waves
Chapter 474: Turbulent Waves
Respect for women - Leitch's remarks fell on the ears of everyone present, and it was undoubtedly like throwing a stone into a calm lake, and it suddenly set off a wave of waves!
As you can see, almost everyone was very surprised, even shocked, by this. The vast majority of men are surprised at the same time, but they look disapplausive, and some even show mockery, while most women have surprises, expectations, and yearning in addition to accidents, but at the same time, they also hide a trace of uneasiness and fear!
The Valley of Dawn does not have the dogmas that bind women like the 'three chastity and four virtues' in ancient China, but it also has male superiority and female inferiority. In ancient times on earth, it was not surprising that the social phenomenon of 'male superiority and female inferiority' appeared, after all, whether it was in daily work or war, it was men who dominated the position; but to say that, in the Valley of the Dawn and even in the entire continent of Blanca, the number of female awakened people was not much less than that of male awakened people! But even so, there will still be a situation of 'male superiority and female inferiority', and I have to say that this is a sociological problem worth pondering.
The 'male superiority and inferiority of women' in the Valley of Dawn is extremely obvious, for example, the nobles of various countries, most of them are men! Among them, like the Dawson Federation, there are three women among the ten lords, which is an extremely rare situation!
For another example, just like the four major female corps in the famous continent, including the Tianqin patrol, most people rarely talk about their combat power and achievements when talking about these four major corps, and they are more wearing a kind of curiosity and bad taste. However, with the fact that he personally led the Lyra Patrol to participate in several battles, Leitch dared to pack the ticket, and the Lyra Patrol definitely had the strength of those first-class knights on the mainland! But unfortunately, the female guards of the Lyra Patrol obviously did not enjoy the treatment that other knights of the same kind should have......
Leitch was also very aware of this, and in fact, he didn't really expect these Black Wind Knights, or the people present, to really start respecting women immediately! At least in the short term, Leitch would not have such extravagant expectations. But even if you know that there is no possibility of success, someone always has to bring up something and light the first flame.
What is now called virtue may at first be nothing more than an action or a will performed by a part of a group of people because of some bondage or something, and then this action gradually spreads and is widely recognized. Then, when the additional restraints are gone, everything gradually returns to the original place, and then when one realizes that these ancient acts are now not practiced by anyone, or very few people, they are sublimated into virtues......
At this time, Leitch was not interested in extending and discussing the proposition of 'respect for women', he raised his hand to suppress the square that had begun to become a little noisy at this time, and continued: "The sixth virtue of knighthood is the soul!"
"The term soul is a bit vague, but you can also understand it as faith, belief in gods, or something else. ”
"In these chaotic times, where there is a lot of slaughter and a camp of sin, countless people have lost themselves and sunk in sin. At such times, man needs faith, some creed and rules to support him, whether it is an ordinary person or a knight!"
"As a knight under my command, I will not force you to believe in anything, you are free to believe in any of the five holy spirits, or other gods, or even pure light, justice, light, and the like. It doesn't matter to me, all you need is something that will keep you from getting confused, something that is worth pursuing and protecting!"
"The seventh virtue of a knight, honesty!"
"If any of you have ever been in contact with a nobleman, in order to show his convincing when it comes to something important, the nobles usually like to 'swear in the name of XX' as the beginning of their speech. The 'XX' in this may represent a specific person, or it may represent a certain family, but the common thing is that they all represent the convincing power and honor of that noble name!"
"This can also be seen as a manifestation of the 'honesty' of the aristocracy. A true nobleman is always responsible for the promises he makes, especially for the great lords, whose words are almost equivalent to the law! and a nobleman who is always full of lies will be spurned by all, and his orders will not be taken seriously by anyone. ”
"And the knights, as the reserve of the nobles, you must also learn to be responsible for what you do, which is reflected in your honesty in daily life!"
"Now, then, let's talk about the last of the eight knightly virtues - justice!"
As he spoke, Lei Qi looked around at the eight thousand Black Wind Knights and Knight Servants in front of him with blazing eyes, and said with a sudden smile: "I put justice last, it doesn't mean that it is not important, on the contrary, it is very important!
"Hahaha-"
Tens of thousands of people in the square were once again amused by Leitch's peculiar way of speaking, and many even thought that even listening to the Viscount alone this time would be particularly interesting, even more interesting than listening to the crappy troubadours telling stories or singing!
"It is difficult to have an absolute balance between the law and human affection, especially in this era of supremacy of monarchy, the lord is the law and the criterion!
"At such times, there needs to be true knights who stand up for righteousness and uphold justice, and if there is no justice in the face of power, then you are the law!"
"Boom!"
If Leitch's previous remark of 'respecting women' only caused waves in the hearts of many people, then now it is simply a stormy and monstrous wave!
"Is there such a knight in this world, even in the face of the oppression of the lord's power, he still has to uphold justice?" There were many such whispers of surprise and anticipation among the common people.
As half of the protagonists, the Black Wind Knights and the Black Wind Knights are subordinate, some are excited and excited, some are struggling, and some are silent......
But to say that the most excited, there is no doubt that the nobles and noble representatives on the aristocratic table, at this time these people can be said to have exploded!
"How could Viscount Blackwind say such a thing, he's simply causing trouble for us!"
"Isn't he worried that he will encounter his knights in the future and cause trouble for him? I don't believe that Viscount Black Wind can be absolutely fair!"
"That's right, I used to think that Viscount Black Wind was a smart man, but now it seems that he is a fool!"
"What a mess! If these words were heard by the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke would never have a good face!" Baron Haas, who had a good impression of Leitch, was also gloomy at this time.
As for the Grand Duke in the mouth of Baron Haas, he refers to the Grand Duke of Stade of the Wind Capital among the three major dukes of the Dawson Federation, and Baron Haas is the court baron of Staad. So it is not surprising that Baron Haas has a great position among these many aristocratic representatives.
At this time, Baron Haas noticed Baron Philip, who was next to him with a calm face, and couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency Philip, do you say that this Viscount Black Wind is too disagreeable? He dares to say such excessive words! Although I admit that what he said is also right, but I can't say these words explicitly, isn't this clearly going against us nobles? When you return to the Cloud Palace, you have to talk to the Grand Duke of Preston and say, our Viscount seems to be a little too active recently! It's time for him to calm down! ”
"That's right, Viscount Black Wind is simply carried away!"
"He really thinks that if he stops something, the Kuroshio can really ride on our heads and do nonsense?"
Some of the nobles immediately chimed in, and it was not difficult to hear a strong sense of jealousy in their words.
"Finished?" asked Philip in a nonchalant rhetorical question when no one spoke again.
Baron Haas felt that his status was completely equal to that of Baron Philip, and even before he was much more sought after than Baron Philip, who was also the representative of the Grand Duke, this time made him secretly proud. Now that he heard Philip talking to himself in such a not very polite tone, this made him a little unhappy immediately, so he couldn't help frowning and looked at Baron Philip and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"It's not interesting, but I think you're blocking my view, so if you're done, get out of the way. ”
Although Philip said it politely, with the word 'troublesome', he almost wrote the words 'you are an eyesore' on his face, which could not help but make Baron Haas feel extremely insulted, and he even seemed to feel the contemptuous gaze of the other nobles around him falling on him!
This made Baron Haas's eyes immediately full of anger and glared at Philip and said: "Philip, you hairy boy, speak to me politely, don't think that it is great to be a court baron in the name of the Biwing Bird Chamber of Commerce, who doesn't know that the inheritance of the Biwing Bird Chamber of Commerce will eventually fall on your eldest brother, the eldest son of President Stoke!"
After saying that, Baron Haas seemed to have seen Philip's appearance about to become angry, which made the corners of his mouth unconsciously show a trace of cruel pleasure.
"It is true that I only became this court baron by virtue of my father's name, how can you have such a young and beautiful daughter, sir, and a lot of gold coins that can be provided to the Grand Duke of Stader for military quartermasters—I am still far from the old man!" Philip said with a modest look of 'I am far inferior to you', but what he said suddenly made Baron Haas turn blue with anger!
But Philip didn't let go of the other party, as he spoke, his face sank suddenly, and he stared at Baron Haas coldly and said, "As for the inheritance of our Blau family, it's not up to you, an old dog, to ask!"
Directly called 'old dog', Baron Haas almost felt angry, but when he looked at Baron Philip's cold gaze, he couldn't make him say a cruel word!
Annoyed and angry, Baron Haas snorted fiercely, and then sat directly on the other side of the noble table, assuming an appearance that was incompatible with Baron Philip.
The other nobles also seemed to lose interest in talking all of a sudden, and sat back in their places again, and even the representatives of the nobles closest to Baron Philip quietly vacated their seats, fearing that they would be unlucky enough to be affected by Baron Haas's anger.
Seeing this, the servant and guard who followed Baron Philip's side couldn't help frowning and whispered: "Your Excellency Philip, why do you want to provoke Baron Haas in plain terms? Even if you agree with Viscount Black Wind's remarks, there is no need to add an enemy to yourself, right?"
"Enemy, that old dog doesn't have such qualifications!" Philip smiled nonchalantly, "As for what Viscount Black Wind said, it does have some meaning, but it doesn't have much to do with me. ”
"Then why are you, Your Excellency?" said the servant, bewildered.
"Everything that happens here will definitely reach Viscount Black Wind's ears, if it's just a slap on the face of an inconsequential old dog, it can make me feel a little more good in Viscount Black Wind's heart, it's not a loss. Philip looked at Leqi in front of the bell tower with deep eyes, and said lightly.
