Chapter 161: Meaningless Arguments
Despite the terrible experience of the group of people who participated in the closed beta, led by Fello, there is no denying that the new dungeon "Song of Victoria" was quite successful.
It has a grand world view and historical story, and the students of Jialan are quickly immersed in the mysterious, sublime Gothic architectural style. Towering pointed arches, rib-like vaults, and seemingly fancy flyings that serve as supporting elements...... They are all fascinated by this.
Some people even wonder if Mu Yan specially invited an elf design team behind him, otherwise how could he design a building that combines Yang different, but full of strong personal style......
In addition to these, they were discussing everything about the Carolingian dynasty: the events that took place in the first year of the sacred calendar, the lives of the kings throughout history, the bustling Carolingian capital today, the individual missions they received, the interesting ladies they encountered, the thieves, the merchants, and so on......
Song of Victoria is a large-scale MMORPG, unlike the previous dungeon system, where players will touch each other, socialize, and interact with NPCs. However, unlike ordinary online games, because there is no 'phase' design, and the number of players is far less than on Earth, NPCs do not assign the same tasks to the same player, nor do they repeat the dialogue mechanically, so they are more like living people.
After all, compared to the huge character information in the database, the number of players in Jialan is more like NPCs......
As a result, each experiencer has the feeling of experiencing a triple-A masterpiece and the world revolving around them...... It's as seductive as a poppy.
How exaggerated is this temptation...... Exaggerated to the point that complaints about Seraf flew into the principal's mailbox like snowflakes - although the students did not skip class on a large scale due to the rules, absent-mindedness has become the norm, and the smart students have begun to discuss strategies in class, especially the scout and magic departments, who simply use the classroom as a place to practice their skills in the secret connection, the former using coughing and tapping to transmit secret messages, and the latter using silent spells to communicate loudly......
Well...... In a way, this is a positive effect.
It's a pity that Principal William has just "recovered his memory" from the backup, and he can only carry out simple life activities at present, and it will take a while to take care of these ...... Therefore, it is impossible to interrupt this carnival.
But there is no doubt that this is a carnival for the vast majority of people, and for such a small number of people, it seems extremely lonely and painful.
……
……
Roy walks around the campus, and his perception allows him to easily capture the words of those around him.
"Hey, Robbie, I've been given a new assignment today to repair an ancient book with a portrait of Charlemagne the Thief!
"Really? Tell me what that guy looks like. ”
"It's ugly! With a dead face, thin lips, and a hunchback! It says that during the time he usurped the throne, he did many mediocre things, and people secretly gave him countless nicknames, 'greedy', 'lustful', 'camel', 'tyrant'...... I wonder why the Chosen didn't find him such a bad personality before? ”
"Maybe they're good at disguise, aren't some of the kings of the Morning Star the same?"
A sneer ensued, and the group of fellows made fun of other monarchs without mercy.
……
Roy didn't have much contact with the Lord Charlemagne, but listening to these remarks, he also felt a little tightness in his chest.
He retracted his senses and walked straight to the classroom.
But this time, the sound continued to squeeze into my ears.
Someone is boasting about the details they have seen in books, and there is no better thing to talk about at this time.
"The thief really didn't do a good job, he doted on his little daughter—I heard that it took 12 months for the monster to be born, and a castle was built for her, which was Gaillard Castle east of the royal capital, and where I was born. That castle is truly extravagant! It's a magnificent city! This guy is really keen to enjoy ......"
Roy couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help but interrupt them.
"His Majesty Charlemagne...... He didn't have a daughter at all. He designed the castle himself, which took 12 months to complete, and on the day it was completed he invited his friends to see it and excitedly said, 'This is my daughter.'" As for the reason for building the castle, it was not for enjoyment, but because the war had caused the displaced people to lose their jobs, and the local nobles of Gaillard were unwilling to pay for assistance, so he simply built a large number of buildings to provide food for the displaced people......"
The person who was interrupted by him was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and someone next to him whispered: "It seems to be the case, the thief has no heirs to pass down......"
"So what?" The man said stiffly: "What if this is an exaggerated 'literary rendering'? There's no way this mean, filthy creature could do something like this, would he? Historical sources say that he trampled on the dignity of justice, allowed the army to hold juries hostage, swayed the justice of the case, and allowed educated commoners to replace the nobles, and incidentally confiscated their property...... How could he care about the lives of the homeless? ”
Roy's eyes swept at him calmly, and the latter craned his neck in disbelief.
"Your birthplace is at Gaillard Castle, so your historical data comes from the Karen and Lublin families, right? They were the counts of the Duchy of Carolingian before the Holy Calendar, and their realm was Gaillard near the royal capital. Later, the kings were besieged by the Uruks, and it was His Excellency Charlemagne who rescued them, but it was these two families who were unwilling to treat the homeless people well and connived at the private army to plunder the property of the homeless.
Later, Gaillard's local jury was formed, and because of the presence of the army, they failed to coerce the jury to their favor, and lost two lawsuits, so that most of the family property was confiscated, and they were reduced to the point that the barons were inferior. They were then replaced by a well-educated commoner.
"You can find all that I have said in the genealogy of the current Grand Duke Gaillard, and the historical information you see has been altered and fabricated entirely to personal preference. I can guarantee that Archduke Gaillard will be able to compare everything but what is said about Charlemagne. ”
Roy finished calmly recounting, and the previous man was speechless for a moment, but he was ashamed of his cowardice for a moment, and replied in a thick voice: "You said that what I saw was fake, how can you guarantee that what you see is true?" You also said, 'Except for the part about Charlemagne,' that is, you don't deny that this is a despicable and lowly person? In that case, it's very likely that he did those bad things! That's someone that even twelve paladins would frame! ”
"We are talking about the hypocrisy of events, not the character of a person......"
"No, Lord Roy, your defense of a man of such bad character makes me doubt your motives, and I don't even think you are qualified to discuss this with me."
Roy opened his mouth, but eventually closed his mouth and left.
When a debate detaches itself from the argument and morphs into an assault on the person, it loses its meaning.
Even if he says that "he is an insider who has experienced that period of history", I am afraid that he will have to come up with his own evidence and refute it with "everything is impossible to see with his own eyes", not to mention, those are two diametrically opposed histories, and there are more points to refute, and it will be more troublesome.
He hates trouble.
Loi simply left the classroom.
He knows that it is not up to him alone to change the status quo and restore that rewritten and forgotten history.
