If you get down this bench, you probably won't have the strength to climb up again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sauron didn't jump down, he was pleasantly surprised by the instant transformation of a group of noisy and chaotic children.

So he raised his voice by willpower and told two stories. In this process, not only did Zoro have a new understanding of these people, but everyone also had a new understanding of him. One of the most touching was Ciceli, who still held the knife wrapped in rags in her hand, and through six days of getting to know Sauron, it seemed that she had solved the problem that had plagued her for the long future, that is, she would always follow Sauron, even as his maid. For this, the fisherman's daughter Ciceli has been thinking about it for a long time.

The gist of the two stories is:

"On the border of the kingdom of Dande, there is a village called Barefoot, which was plundered by a gang of thieves one day, and a group of survivors, both men and women, survived, and after the bandits left, these villagers crowded into the village that was burned to the ground, muttering to themselves, and rummaging around. There are two men who fight for a mouthful of food, and two women who slap each other for a piece of water, and they both want to drive each other away so that they can take possession of the spoils alone. In that environment, these people look like two or a group of vultures vying for carrion. Can you imagine? They had lost almost everything, and their friends and relatives had died at the hands of the thieves, but everyone seemed to have no idea what was left of them, squabbling over what little supplies they had left, shouting angrily at each other, and hating each other. When all the people became homeless, it didn't take long for the village to disappear without a trace. This outcome is not unexpected, I think they have lost something very important, not only can they no longer be considered human, but they are not even alive at all. ”

"There is another village called Baizhang on the border of the Dande Kingdom, and they have suffered the same thing, but the villagers have united to clean up and take care of each other, take care of the surviving houses that have not collapsed, and then help each other save important belongings, share materials, and work together until the houses can be rebuilt and life can start again. The next time the thieves visited the village, they were surprised to find that the village had grown into a town, and the kingdom of Dande had begun to value it, having appointed a sheriff and a sentry guard. ”

Although the names of the two villages, 'Barefoot and Whitehand', are nonsense, Zoro has created many contrasting characters in the two stories, such as two village chiefs with different personalities, two different women, two different men, and two different groups of villagers. Make sure everyone listens.

As Sauron spoke, many forgot about hunger, and it was as if they had seen or heard the scene of two villages. And put yourself in their shoes and assume what they would do if they were a villager there.

Six days together, and what Zoro had been doing, didn't seem meaningless now.

In the eyes of all the half-grown children, Sauron is a peculiar guy who makes them stand out from the crowd. Including every word he said:

"Countless ordinary people make up this world, but for this cold-blooded world, many people are not even animals, because they don't emanate anything, nothing. They are like a bunch of small things that are separated from each other, like miscellaneous fish, or piles of stones, and they have no idea how they perceive the world. But if they can come together, they can form a storm of fish in the ocean and sweep everything away. Erect a megalithic fortress on the plains to intimidate any creature that dares to defy it. ”

Zoro paused, letting his eyes make contact with everyone as much as possible, "Now, we are the miscellaneous fish, the stones, but as long as we have the same imprint, we form a fortress, we form a storm!" And what we need most is the spirit of white palms! ”

His words made almost everyone feel as if they were witnessing the rise of prosaic rocks from the ground and the formation of giant castle fortresses. So, when Sauron found a vat of white plant dye from the clutter in the cabin, almost everyone followed him and made a white palm print on their clothes.

Maybe the children were of very low origins, they were filthy and tattered, but Sauron didn't seem to care about that. When he asked everyone to dedicate their most precious thing for the spirit of the white palm, for this collective that was suffering from disaster, everyone handed over the previous piece of silver.

A piece of silver is used as a medium to become a proof of joining the white palm.

Many years later, the White Palm Army, which has had a profound impact on mankind and even the whole world, has its prototype at this moment.

"Members of the White Palms, I ask you, never let heartless 'ghosts' take possession of our bodies, even if we die one day, we still exude pride and justice in our wreckage, let everyone who passes by our wreckage pay tribute to us, and let them spread our story to every corner of the world."

Hunger and dehydration, including Behringer, made everyone's tired faces pale, and although everyone was grunting with hunger and their mouths were dry, they looked at Sauron with neat eyes, gasping for breath and understanding what they were feeling.

The emotion between exhilaration, pride, lingered in my heart. The feeling is like a colorful rainbow smeared on this gloomy day.

The tall boy named Zebulun seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, and he couldn't help but interrupt for a long time, but at last he couldn't help but be curious, and asked the question, "Will you be with us forever?" ”

When each member feels like they belong in the White Palm and accepts the values and symbols defined by Sauron. A sense of belonging and inter-group relationships begins to grow, and this is when Sauron's commitment is needed to make everyone trust him.

At this point, Zoro remembered the words of Montenegro, "Those who live lowly will at least live." But once you intervene, you will be responsible for his death in the future. Because you are not an ordinary person, your surname is Dande. ”

Zoro doesn't care about Dande's cheap surname, but compared to this group of kids, he is very demanding of himself. The moment Montenegro said this, what Sauron had awakened to had been immersed in his thoughts for a long time.

Of all the first-level magic that Sauron knew, the contract was an extension of the ancestral spell, and the consequences of breaking the contract were terrible. But he added the spell prefix anyway and performed the spell in front of everyone. "I gazed at the darkness of the night, the dim moonlight, the sharp coldness, the blood-soaked earth, and the rhapsodies of war slumbered. When the irreversible oath is made, I will be loyal to the White Palm Legion, and the spirit of my contract is that loyalty is my honor! When the trumpet blows after the silence, my sword shines with silver brilliance, and my sword shines with white, silver, holy, and song......"

………………

The burst of light in the creation cabin just now, and the huge hexagonal symbol, is it magic? Or what?

The fantastical unknown made the guards in charge of the surveillance cabin tremble, completely subverting his perception of the world.

So he quickly reported everything to the Black Mountain master. When it was confirmed that the crew member had no chance of lying, the Black Mountain Master was surprised and his face increased with disgust for Sauron.

"Follow me, boy." Zoro didn't look at the crew member who was still pointing his trembling finger at him. He walks slowly, and so far, he almost seems to be lazy.
