Verse 503: Meeting (2)

Speaking of fun, the Northernist Monsieur Antoine invited Marin to give a lecture at the artisan office where he was presiding.

Speaking of lectures, Marin likes it, how can teaching people to fish be happy by teaching people to fish, so Marin took the prepared teaching materials and arrived at the Copenhagen artisan office early the next morning, and Mr. Antoine prepared a large classroom for him - this was originally used when the craftsman seeds from those places in the northern kingdom came to the capital, Antoine, as a master craftsman, still has strength, but he has never seen Marin's drawings, and he can only understand everything that happens in the south through those high-priced guns.

For him, Marin was able to explain in person, which was already very face-saving for him, you must know that the current great craftsman, hiding that is the virtue, opening a big workshop like Marin, summoning dwarves, humans, halflings, gnomes, elves and even frost giants to work for him, it is no longer the work of the great craftsman - how can the great craftsman have such ability.

Privately, many people in the artisan world now regard Marin as the god of craftsmen—and in this era when there is no god of craftsmen, Marin is the most likely being.

Of course, Marin only smiled at this, others thought that he wanted to become a god, Marin actually wanted to do what he wanted to do most was to destroy the gods, and slaughter all those chaotic evil gods and unreliable gods of this world, it was best for the god of justice to let him leave, if he refused to leave, then the two sides would have a fight.

Of course, in Marin's opinion, this will definitely be the last option.

Become a god? That's not my pursuit, what I'm thinking about is that I want the world I am familiar with to come back to me, the world where mortals will eventually have mortal realization, the world where mortals create everything, maybe mortals will go the wrong way, but mortals ...... is the master of this world.

Of course, Marin knew that all this was just his dream, the world had changed, and the humans before the Great Apocalypse could not even survive in this world for a long time, and could only look at the outside world through the transparent walls of the shelter.

However, this will not affect Marin to see these knowledge-hungry people in front of him as earthlings, they are still the unyielding natives of this planet, and their actions, words and deeds are telling the performance of this unyielding race of mankind in the story called history.

Humanity may fail and become extinct, because the history of mankind is only the smallest civilization between the two ice ages of the earth, and there will certainly be greater beings in the universe than mankind...... But true human beings will never give in.

"I am glad that so many people have come here today to hear me tell us about the knowledge that belongs to our craftsmen, and here I would like to thank His Excellency Antoine, without his invitation, I would not have thought to come here to meet you, so please thank him and not me."

Seeing that His Excellency Marlin pointed to himself, Antoine smiled and gave a chest salute to everyone in the audience: "Your Excellency Marin came to the north this time, I dared to invite him, and he responded to my invitation very generously, so you should still thank him, knowledge is priceless, I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of Your Excellency Marin." ”

Antoine was really pleased, because as he thought, His Excellency Marin was really like what the wind said, he believed that knowledge was priceless, but as long as you wanted to learn, and your camp was what he wanted, he would teach you without reservation.

Antoine felt that His Excellency Marin was indeed a person with whom he could talk and even cooperate.

Although he was also a business owner, and even a nobleman, what Lord Marlin did at Fort Carter was the most merciful of all - he gave the refugees jobs, housing, and even took care of their lives, old age, sickness and death, and even their Northernist agents who went south said that they were there, and they could even feel the anticipation and happiness that can only be found in the people's assembly.

And His Excellency Marin unites those who are willing to work hard, those who are willing to work hard for their own tomorrow will find a place in his group, all those hard-working people, can earn money from him, they can even use this money to buy that kind of collective apartment, marry a wife, have a home of their own, their children have a special nursery, they can even go to work very cheaply when they grow up, and even some of the hard-working people can have a pet dog.

Although it is just a very ordinary yellow dog, not as expensive as the noble hunting dogs, but this is also a very remarkable thing, you must know that in the north this is unimaginable, a serf still wants to have his own wife and children and pet dogs?

Stop dreaming, even though there is everything in the dream.

Antoine sat in the corner taking notes, and he saw that the two young men in the last and highest row of the cadet seats were also listening with some fascination.

Jon Svensson and Link Svensson.

Although the two brothers are young, they are the young commanders of the Northern Kingdom who have recently come out of the army, they are the side branches of the Svensson family, and they are still related to the king of Mannheim, but who would have thought that these two brothers are the two youngest of the eleven.

They joined Eleven and financed the aid of Northernism in order to take revenge on the Mannheim family.

Antoine didn't know why they wanted revenge, or why they wanted revenge, but he could feel the anger that the two young children had shown at that time, a madness that could not erase His Majesty from this world.

Although this anger became more and more observable as they grew, Antoine understood that it was not that they had forgotten the hatred, but that they had learned that one of the most important lessons of revenge was not to let others know what you were thinking.

So they joined the army, using the Svensson family's influence in the military and their own efforts to get to where they are today, the twenty-year-old lieutenant colonel...... Everyone said that it should be with the help of the mediocre king, but Antoine knew that they had made it all their own.

Jon, the elder brother, was taking notes in his notebook, while the younger brother was sketching out some of the knowledge points that Marlin had said in a magical way from time to time.

They are also thirsty for knowledge, these two young people, old Francis has always wanted to make them the head of the next generation of Northernism, in Antoine's opinion, this is indeed a choice, after all, the youngest of the eleven council are these two children, they are only twenty years old, they already have a good identity, the elder brother is the second, the younger brother is the third, both brothers are the winter wolf knights of the Winter Wolf Church, and the future is limitless.

But Antoine still felt that it was not good to give them, because Northernism is the doctrine of saving the masses from suffering, not the doctrine of revenge, if one day, the king of Mannheim dies at their hands, will these two young people still agree with Northernism?

Antoine didn't know, but he knew that if things changed, Northernism would have the most terrible enemy - because the two young men knew the identities of all the members of the Eleventh Council, and also the names of most of the mid-level people, and if they became enemies, Northernism...... Is there still a possibility of existence?

This is what Antoine fears the most, and it is also the reason why he wants to push His Excellency Marin into the Council of Eleven, and the Council can even give His Excellency Marin a seat, all so that Northernism can survive.

No matter how remarkable these two young men are, it is impossible for them to pose a threat to Lord Marin.

Thinking of this, Antoine noticed that Lord Marin had finished his lecture, and his students in the audience began to applaud.

It wasn't until three minutes later, when Lord Marin waited for the applause to end, that he announced the end of the class in a very succinct tone.

Many of the students ran up to ask Lord Marlin for advice, and Antoine noticed that the two young men of the Svensson family had not left, they were standing on the edge, seemingly waiting patiently.

Antoine chose to sit there and wait for the outcome of everything—the students would always finish their questions, and then he, along with the two Svenssons, would have the first brief discussion with Lord Marlin on behalf of the Council of Eleven.

………………

"What you said about Marin, is that Excellency really reliable?" Mendel Eriksson asked his friend in a somewhat confused tone.

"As an assistant priest of the God of War Church, you should also understand the reputation of His Excellency Marin, he is the double champion of your God of War Church and the Church of Justice." Old Francis looked at the hesitation in the young man's eyes and asked with a smile.

"Do we really need to get him into our council, he's a big business owner, he's a big aristocrat." The young assistant priest was a little puzzled.

"Our troubles are not limited to this, think about our future, Comrade Mendel, Comrade Antoine is right, we still need to add new blood to our organization, and although His Excellency Marin is a nobleman and a business owner, who do you think he is doing in Fort Carter, is it not for those poor refugees?"

"Indeed, Comrade Francis the Elder, our cause ...... Hopefully we're doing the right thing. Mendel's assistant said.

"Don't worry, Comrade Mendel." Old Francis patted him on the shoulder: "Comrade Antoine, and two comrades Svensson are here, they will test His Excellency Marlin at the same time, and they must also be tested by His Excellency Marin, I hope that our faith can be understood by him, and it will be the greatest blessing for us to be able to seek common ground while reserving differences with him." ”

In the opinion of old Francis, Marin was indeed the most suitable person to be invited to the council, and his presence would make those who doubted him understand that there would be such a benevolent business owner in this world, and that what His Excellency Marlin did might be the best way out for Northernism.

May the doctrine shine forever.
