Chapter 84 Universal Education
Through this gladiatorial match between the two sides, Roy also clearly realized their shortcomings, if there was no firearm made by Carey at the beginning, it would really be impossible to attack the White Eagle Fort.
In the field, Taylor and the black axe fought a few moves again, the black axe seemed to accidentally reveal a flaw, Taylor accurately seized the opportunity, knocked his black axe away, and the next second the big sword blade was on the shoulder of the black axe, Taylor frowned: "You lost!"
"It's been a long time since you've had such a good fight!" Black Axe smiled, not caring.
"But you deliberately lost, why?" Taylor was a little unhappy.
"It doesn't mean much for me to win, but if you win, it can speed up the cohesion of the hearts of the people on both sides, and everyone always prefers to listen to the words of the strong. "Black Axe didn't think he could hide it from Taylor.
"You think I'm going to lose?" Taylor asked rhetorically, putting down his greatsword.
"Half, you don't have much experience, but you learn quickly, and in another year, I will definitely not be your opponent, but now I think I have many ways to win you. Black Axe didn't answer directly, but tactfully showed that the current Taylor was not his opponent.
"Okay, but next time I hope not to do such a meaningless thing, Roy is not what you think, even if I lose, he has prepared a variety of preparations to gather your men. Taylor picked up his sword again and wanted to walk on the platform.
The black axe flickered for a moment, and he took the initiative to surrender to Roy because the other party's firearms were too strong and he didn't want to hurt innocent people, and Cliff was too disappointing.
Later, because of Roy's policy, he was willing to surrender White Eagle Fort completely, even if he was imprisoned in Yongguang in the future, it was not so unacceptable.
But Taylor's words made him feel that he was doing something meaningless, and he took the initiative to admit defeat, his idea was to reduce the trouble, so that his subordinates could put away their unwilling mood and integrate into the Yongguang team.
After all, the wood has been completed, and they will all be considered people in the same boat in the future.
"Good fight......" After the two walked onto the high platform, Roy praised the two as if he didn't see it.
Taylor pursed his lips and nodded silently, in the previous duel, he enjoyed it quite at first, but in the end, Black Axe's initiative to admit defeat made him a lot uncomfortable.
"Okay, there's still a chance in the future, if Black Axe wins, I'm really going to have to put more effort into it, right?" Roy lowered his voice and patted him on the shoulder.
"You arranged that?" Taylor wondered.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just that I guess whoever can come to me to surrender will definitely realize this, right?" Roy whispered again, "He was once a death row inmate for the Yum Champion, and brute force alone couldn't do that." ”
After comforting Taylor, Roy re-faced the guards in the stands and said, "Okay, today's game is very exciting, we get to know a lot of warriors, and all the warriors who win will be rewarded with one gold coin." In the future, the gladiatorial arena of the Dark City can organize a gladiatorial fight every month to test the results of everyone's usual training, and the gladiatorial competition will be more perfect in the future, I hope I can see more outstanding warriors!"
Returning to the castle of the Darkless City, Roy stopped Taylor, who wanted to leave, and said, "Your parents will go to the Darkless City in the afternoon, I plan to hand over the Darkless City to your father to help me manage it, how about you stay in the Darkless City first?"
"Huh?!!my dad?" Taylor was a little surprised, and said after a moment of silence: "Anyway, no matter who manages it, I will complete the task you give me." ”
"Don't worry, when the Kuroshio is over, I will build a road between Eternal Light and Darkless City, which can facilitate the communication between the two cities!" After thinking about it for a few days, Roy felt that at present, both Ith and Taylor should be left in Darkless City first to prevent accidents, and the time of the Kuroshio is approaching, and the guards and firearms left in Yongguang City are enough to deal with it.
......
After a brief lunch, Iter brought a young girl to his study, the local girl who had signed up for the city council hall.
"Your Excellency, my name is Fanny Green, White Eagle...... No, no Darkcity people, see your notice and want to give it a try. Fanny knelt on the ground, did not dare to look up, and said respectfully.
"Hmm...... Are you literate?" Roy asked casually, tending to the papers in his hand.
"My lord, when I was a child, I studied with my father in other city-states for a while, and I knew some writing. Fanny knelt respectfully on the ground without Roy's permission.
"Get up first, then you can read the information on this piece of paper......" Roy handed a piece of paper to It, who handed it to Fanny.
After Fanny got up, she still lowered her head, her golden hair covered her face, and after taking the paper handed over by Iter, she read it carefully a few times, and read it a little nervously: "Dear lord, I am honored that you still remember me, after receiving your letter, I know the whole story, I will ...... Send people to Giethoorn to investigate...... Your whereabouts are your concern...... In addition, Giethoorn can harvest the final ...... before the arrival of the Kuroshio Tide Grain, I will ...... in half a month Go to Eternal Light City!"
Fanny intermittently retold the information on the paper, and after reading the information, she raised her head and looked at Roy nervously.
Roy silently glanced at Fanny, her eyes were very beautiful, a pair of big eyes and a high nose bridge, which made her facial features particularly three-dimensional.
"To be honest, your literacy level is not up to the requirements of our recruitment......" Roy saw the look of loss in Fanny's eyes, and added, "But now that we are relatively short of manpower, if you are still willing to find time to study in the evening, I am willing to give you a chance, and of course I will send someone to teach you knowledge." ”
"Ah!?really?...... my lord," Fanny quickly knelt down.
"Of course, but during your studies, you will only be paid thirty silver coins a week, and after three months, you will have an exam, and if you pass, you will be officially hired and receive a salary of fifty silver coins, what do you think?" Roy asked.
"Ahh......h
"By the way, do you know why my recruitment notice was released and no one came?" Roy asked, a little confused, if he was in Yongguang, he would have already broken his head.
"My lord, if you make an announcement to recruit soldiers, then the people who come can line up at the gate of the city, but you ask for literacy, the original lord demolished the church, and encouraged the study of martial arts, many ordinary civilians are illiterate, and those literate merchants ....... ”
"I see, you can come over tomorrow morning!" Roy smiled gratefully at Fanny, knowing that he wasn't being paid much, and the merchant didn't like it at all.
Fanny knelt on the ground again and said, "Thank you again for your kindness!"
After Roy waited for Fanny to leave the study, he thought about it, but he didn't expect that in the huge dark city, he could only find a girl who knew words.
Having understood the reason, he wrote a note on paper with a quill: "Universal education for the common people"
