Sinloth vividly remembers that when he left Desmond, it was in April. But when he set foot on this land again, it was already July.

Desmond has a relatively mild climate, and although it can be said to be summer, the sun doesn't shine on people and there is not much scorching heat. The warm sun shines on the body, and it is comfortable to make people want to close their eyes and take a nap.

After disembarking from the port, Sinlos and his party, who had changed horses, set out on the road to Desmond. After a few months away from home, the vassals always followed the orders of the lord. No other place can be seen yet, but at least the dirt road from the port to Desmond Castle has already begun to be built. There is no longer the painful feeling of being a foot deep and a shallow foot even when walking on the road.

The peasants on both sides of the road, seeing that their lord had returned, also took off their hats and saluted the venerable young man. The originally numb gaze was filled with hope for the future and the lord's gratitude. Compared to the insensitive expression he had when he first came to Desmond, it was a world of difference.

Sinloth smiled reservedly and nodded at the farmers. As a lord, you can be close to the people, but the right distance can also add your own mystery. And mystery and distance are always a great weapon to keep the other party in awe.

Looking at the awe-inspiring eyes of the farmers and the excellent crops in the field, Xinlos couldn't help but feel a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

His territory, even if it was ruined before. But now, with the efforts of him and his vassals, he is slowly getting better. The future is still unknown, but there is a hint of what is happening in front of us. But it gave him the strength to face a qiē.

Xinlos hugged his soft waist, and the light in his black eyes became more and more brilliant

Although it is a newly established market. However, due to some special goods, there are actually many merchants who come to Desmond to purchase. And since it came. Naturally, it's impossible to buy just these. Merchants from all over the world spontaneously formed a bazaar and began to exchange the goods they needed.

Now, the vendors are not taking care of their business. Instead, they gathered in a circle and were watching the excitement. In the crowd were two merchants and four knights of Desmond.

"My lord, I think there must be some misunderstanding." The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he said with a sneer. However, when I saw the knight on the opposite side, I had a stern face. It didn't look like he was very confused, so he endured his distress, took out a small money bag from his arms, and wanted to stuff it into the knight's hand, "The Almighty Lord is above, we are all believers in the Lord, there must be a misunderstanding here." You're right, after all, he's just a Hebrew and can't be trusted, so how could I lie?"

Bismal didn't take the purse. Just stared at him with burning eyes. The knight's gaze is like substance, as if it can penetrate people's hearts. The middle-aged merchant had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to make eye contact with the knight's gaze, so he lowered his head in mockery.

"It seems that Yiqiē is already very clear. I don't care what happens to you somewhere else. But here, it's Desmond, it's the domain of the Fanzhuo family. All of them have to follow the rules of the Fanzhuo family. If you ignore this, you will have to bear the wrath of Van Zhuo. Bismal gestured to the huge stone tablet in the distance. The stone tablet engraved with the promise of Sinloth and the Hebrew elders stood out in the sunlight. "I'm sure everyone must have seen this stele before they came to the market, then"

"Du Barry, take him to Ditohardt, and let him experience the majesty of Van Zhuo."

"Yes, Lord Bismalk."

The three female knights came out in response, and the middle-aged businessman, who saw each other so expressively, knew that he would never be able to leave without taking off a layer of skin, and collapsed to the ground weakly. The female knights were not surprised, and dragged the man down like a dead dog. Ditohardt, a gloomy fellow, is best suited for this kind of dirty work. During this time, he has added a lot of extra income to Desmond. Incidentally, Claes looked at him more pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that the middle-aged merchant who tried to deceive him with shoddy goods was dragged down, the young Hebrew wanted to step forward and be grateful, but in the face of the strict knight, he didn't know what to say. All of a sudden, the inexperienced young man was stunned directly.

Bismal, on the other hand, was not surprised, it wasn't the first time he had dealt with such a thing. The Hebrews were always oppressed throughout the empire, and the lords were always happy to bully this tough but weak people. Over time, the Hebrew merchants preferred to suffer rather than deal with the lords—and the result of requesting the lord's arbitration was often even greater.

"Lord Fanzhuo is a man who keeps his promises, and if you remember each other's agreements, he will not forget them." Bismal looked at the young man meaningfully, but pointed his finger to the conspicuous stone tablet, "Van Zhuo never forgets his oath. ”

Within Desmond, all citizens are equal.

A simple sentence, but in the eyes of young people, it is so great. The young man's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded. Although the Empire has always claimed equality of citizens, that is only for the citizens of the Empire. The Hebrews were never citizens of the Empire.

"I can't be here every time, so let's work hard with a few more eyes in the future." Bismalko patted the young man on the shoulder and continued to walk elsewhere.

Desmond is becoming more and more prosperous, and while it is a good thing, the shortage of manpower is also becoming more and more severe. Especially in this case, the young students clearly lacked convincing qualifications and could only be handled by a few older knights. As a result, Bismal had to move around the territory. Fortunately, although it was hard work, the knight chief seemed to enjoy it.

The knight turned around, and the crowd behind him naturally parted ways. Impartial and strong executors, always respectable. The merchants looked at the knight and rode slowly out of the crowd.

Suddenly, Bismal seemed to sense something, and his eagle-like gaze pierced through the crowd. Looked in the distant direction. And that one, the lion banner of Van Zhuo. It's slowly fluttering.

"This Lord Sinloth is back?"

William, as he said, disbanded his own levy force at York. I watched as those former subordinates cheered. Rushing into the tavern with the gold coins he had just gotten. And he took the rest of the guards with him and came to Desmond with Sinloth. And what he saw along the way with Sinloth deeply touched the young duke.

Nineteen's military is a simple and crude illustration of William as an excellent general. And a good general is naturally not short of patience, but William does not intend to spend patience on these injuries. The anxious Duke couldn't wait to solve the doubts in his heart: "Sinloth, your territory is very different. ”

However, William could not accurately describe the difference. The young duke was vague, and only said a different assessment.

What's the difference?

He couldn't tell.

"Of course it's different. This is my territory. Under the sun, it was the Viscount's smile that answered William. William had to admit that this guy was getting better and better. For a moment, William felt as if he was lost in his smile.

William trembled all over, and quickly remembered the appearance of his wife in his heart. Although Sinloth is indeed very long-term, and the love of the royal capital is also very popular among the high-ranking nobles, the young duke has no plans to betray his wife for the time being.

Empires have inherited the mantle of ancient empires, not only the essence, but also some dross. The philosophers of the ancient empire believed. Love is beautiful and genderless. This is true even for same-sex love. And the so-called love of the royal capital is the good name of this strange love.

In simple terms. It's homosexuality.

"I'm serious." William coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Desmond is special. There's something strange I can't tell you what it is, but it's fascinating. I'll be back in Normandy in a while, and I want to make a difference. ”

I see. No wonder William would be willing to be his friend.

"Because of tolerance, why do you think the empire is so strong. Sitting on the four seas? It is because of his inclusiveness. The ancestors of the empire were not the smartest, nor the most powerful, and they were even inferior in numbers. But why, did they end up unifying most of the world? ”

"Empires were never built in a day, and empires were never built by a people. The empire's economic prosperity benefited from excellent transportation; The cultural development of the empire benefited from an all-encompassing mind. And the most proud military power of the empire also comes from the continuous tempering of all parties."

"If we only focus on the immediate situation and the division of nationalities, then the ancestors of the empire will not be able to control so many territories and nationalities. I think the only way to distinguish people is their abilities, not their ethnicity and origin. ”

Looking at Xinluos's serious gaze, a door in William's heart seemed to be opened. What I didn't understand was suddenly cleared up now: "You really dare to think about it, but it seems to make sense." ”

The empire grew stronger, but the beliefs of its ancestors were slowly abandoned. The nobles of the empire were immersed in the glory of the empire, but they did not have the mind and strength of their ancestors. The weakening of the empire in recent years, in addition to various natural disasters**, the loss of spirit within the empire also accounted for a very important factor.

"Sinloth."

"Huh?"

"Thank you"

Sinloth blinked, looking strangely at the duke who suddenly thanked him. I feel a little inexplicable, he just memorized a paragraph according to the textbook of the people's education version, is there anything special? Desmond is already so populous, and if there is any ethnic discrimination, when will it develop?

However, the duke's thanks, the viscount felt that it was better to accept it. In the sun, the lord laughed, his eyes bent into a lovely crescent.

"No thanks." (To be continued......)
