Stella Thomas's lecture record (4):

Sunderland is still the same, forget it, I can't control this little barbarian. When the master returns, I will definitely sue him severely. Joshua has been much more honest since last time. Although it can be seen that he is not energetic in the explanation of some knowledge, it is good to see that he is trying to cheer up. Well, if only all the children were as disciplined as Lena and Anastasia and Anthony.

Today, let's talk about the special class of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce - those channels of promotion and responsibilities in addition to accounting.

Monk: The executor of the hollow religion. Many of Orzhov's middle class occupied positions in a number of religious positions, ranging from low-ranking acolytes to high-ranking bishops. The Orzhov monks seem to be more faithless than the rest of the plane's religions, following their own beliefs, but their beliefs revolve around the distribution of power rather than divine figures. Monks are named for their specific duties. The sinners rebuke those who do not follow the teachings of Orzhov; The forgiver frees his followers from their sins, usually by exchanging them for expensive gifts.

"It sounds like the church, but it's not as noble as the church." This is Elena's description.

I think Elena is so eager to go to church like Anastasia that her words are biased. Still, I don't want Elena to be exposed to the horrific darkness of the church at such an age—at least not until they reach adulthood, which feels right to me. So I told her, "Don't jump to conclusions, Elena. In the world of Elsa, nothing is clean and nothing is dirty. ”

"The Blazing Divine Servants are not dirty." Elena said stubbornly. I had to laugh and say no more, why bother to destroy a little girl's vision, the world has to explore itself to prove its worth.

Killer: Professional killer. Being a killer of the Orzhov guild is sometimes complicated and has different names. Some were executioners—giants who carried out papal trials. Some are ghost assassins who will sever "business ties" with whistleblowers and other unreliable business partners. Others are warriors who protect the public by threatening the enemy. If Orzhov wants to finish off someone, whether it's a member of Orzhov or someone outside the Chamber of Commerce, Orzhov likes to send a message to the outside world through murder. Orzhov's assassinations were usually carried out by signing something resembling a military warrant and even being hyped up with elaborate rituals. In essence, of course, some extremely difficult orders of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce were generally entrusted to the "silent people".

Knight: A model of virtue and sin. In fact, it is the more noble class among the Orzhov members, which means that they have somehow proven their allegiance and ability. Every time someone is knighted, his or her name represents a certain noble quality. This quality does not need to be a virtue in the traditional sense. For example, a Knights of Confession may represent the virtue of atonement for the sins of others' past, while Knights of Despair may be those who bring doom to the enemies of the group. Of course, only accountants and businessmen can enjoy the title of this class.

"It's not reasonable, it's wrong." Lena's rare speech. "It is the prerogative of the nobility to canonize knights."

In a way, I think she is quite right, but I correct those that she is not right: "In the first place, such knights make sense only within the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce, and no lord, governor, king or emperor recognizes this status as a noble; Second, these forces are far greater than you might imagine. Even the weakest of the major powers, the Gruul, may need to make some sacrifices from the local lord to uproot. ”

My words made Lena think deeply, but she didn't quite understand these things yet. Let her think slowly, we're going to get on with our lesson.

Director: Matter Administrator. The Orzhov Group hired a group of lawyers, counselors, commanders, accountants, strategists, and messengers to run the business and run the guild's activities. Generally, these guild members are called councillors, but they also have many different names. Some are powerful lawyers, sometimes called Dharma advocates, who can verify the truth of someone else's words through a spell called the "Ring of Truth." Some are accountants who are responsible for borrowing money and keeping track of debts. Some of the directors are roadmen, coordinating the flow of resources and planning transactions with other organizations. Others, such as mercenaries, deliver goods or hide items from outposts. Although the Council members are not as well-known as the Bishops or Ojdals, they hold the actual power of the Guild, as they often control how the Guild communicates with powerful forces from the outside world.

On the execution ground, under the gallows.

Picxi has been put on a noose. The executioner and jailer in charge of guarding him had just been chatting. He heard them say that they were going to freeze him up with magic the moment they hanged him—they wanted him to suffer twice as much for his amusement.

Now Pixie felt so frightening and uncomfortable waiting to die, and by the way, his clothes were tightly clinging to his body with sweat, and the wind blew and made him shiver.

Pixie now regrets something. "I should have said that I could at least ask the wizard to save my son." He thought.

Now, he feels his chances are slim. He felt that even someone as strong as Josephine could not resist the fear of that magic.

Just as he was thinking, he saw several people walk into the execution ground, slowly walking under the gallows, along with the sound of their chatter and laughter.

"Thank you very much Miss Josephine for your cooperation." The wizard from earlier said. "No, look at this big sheet! There are really a lot of things to explain, not only the action intelligence of these Gruul cubs, but also some Gruku secrets. The loud voice that grabbed him held up a large roll of parchment, covered with handwriting, and the ink was not dry.

"It's over! Josephine said it all. I don't have a chance, damn it! Why don't you give me a chance! He thought.

"Mr. Pixie, what a pity. Miss Josephine cherishes this opportunity, but you are useless, we have information, and now we can execute you. A few executioners have suggested to me that you should experience double pain, and they say that I will use magic the moment I hang you, so that you will suffer eternal suffering. The wizard said.

"I'm kind, but it's a good example. With this example, I think the poor people who worked for the Guru will also value their lives more - they will think about your situation before planning riots, robberies, and murders. When the wizard had finished, he waved his hand and ordered the executioner to tighten the noose.

Picksy, who was on the noose, was short of breath, and slowly, the noose was tight enough to clasp the flesh around his neck.

"You can say your last words, Mr. Pickey." The wizard said in a cynical tone, his eyes revealing a hint of banter, mockery mixed with a look of regret.

"Nope! Why her! Why not give me a chance! My son! My son! My son! Pixie struggled violently, screaming with all his strength, screaming at Aisha's injustice to him.

"No other last words? Mr. Picksy? The wizard said indifferently.

"Nope! Master! Master Wizard! Be kind! Be kind! Peake struggled and pleaded.

"Will you have a 'good heart' towards the enemy?" The wizard let out a sneer.

"Sir! I say! I say it all! I'll tell you everything I know! Peake roared like crazy.

"But Miss Josephine has already explained it all, so what's the use of you telling us again? You're worthless. Said the sterny, stern knight who had been in charge of interrogating him before.

"Nope! Other! Don't let me die like this! I know something that Josephine doesn't know! For my life and my son's! I know something about Josephine that doesn't know! ”

"Let Mr. Pixie come down, loosen the noose, and take him to another torture chamber." The old-fashioned knight owes himself to the wizard and orders the jailer and executioner to act. "As for whether you can get your and your son's lives back, it's up to you to cooperate with us."

"I cooperate! I cooperate. I'll be useful, I'll be useful! Pixie slumped on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
