In summer, the weather can change, a rain with hail can fall, a group of people run and jump, and children fall into the muddy water.
Charles was very depressed, just now everyone was talking and laughing and preparing to hang up the red and white maple flags of the Knights, and then hold the opening ceremony, but a large cloud rushed over with rain and hail.
When a person is unlucky alone, he will feel very depressed.
But when you see a group of people around you who are unlucky together, it becomes a very happy thing.
In the barn where supplies are temporarily stored, a group of chickens in the soup look at me, I look at you, and then laugh together.
Charles nodded helplessly, and he said, "Everyone stand up, I'll wash everyone." โ
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and skillfully cast a "hot spring technique", a large mass of warm water elemental soaked everyone's bodies from the neck down, washing away the rain and cement on their bodies and clothes.
"Stop! My son is going to drown!!"
"Gooo~"
Charles didn't notice the Erich Hartmann kid next to Sir Hartman in the crowd, and the elemental hot spring wrapped around the adult's body almost drowned him.
Fortunately, the water elemental immediately dissipated, and Erich sat on the ground gasping for air, his face a little pale.
Someone in the crowd complained: "Did I join some evil organization, and the first thing I did when I joined was to take a bath together, and by the way, I took a child to sacrifice alive?"
Sir Hartman also laughed and complained: "My son is too naughty to be a good sacrifice." โ
A spy girl from a certain country complained depressedly: "If others knew that I had bathed with so many men, I wouldn't be able to get married......"
Charles simply hung a white maple flag on a red background on the wall of the barn, and clapped his hands after everyone finished complaining, attracting everyone's attention.
He said, "Alright, the inauguration of the Knights Hospitaller will begin now." โ
"I am glad that everyone can agree to join the Knights Hospitaller, and at the same time I am very unhappy because this Order was founded by the plague, and how I wish it would never exist. โ
"Now that the plague has happened, then what we have to do is strangle it and let more people live. โ
"There is no shortage of similar plagues in history that have spread on a large scale, and every plague has been followed by corpses, and if we try to eradicate it in this area, we will save the entire continent...... it!"
What had been a scattered hailstone the size of a bean suddenly turned into an egg, and the ice that could crack the windshield of a car smashed through the straw roof of the barn and smashed on Charles's head.
The village was already in turmoil, and many thatched huts were smashed down.
"Go and save someone!" shouted Charles, ran to the side, grabbed an iron pot and buckled it to his head, and walked towards the collapsed house.
Fortunately, the village prepared a lot of bed boards for the construction of a temporary hospital, and now these beds have become shields, although many wounded people have fallen on the roof, but with everyone's efforts, no one has been stoned to death.
In the afternoon, when the storm finally cleared and the rainbow hung in the sky, everyone went back to the barn to continue soaking in the hot springs and then have a meeting, and by the way, they carried a few broken beams and the like back to be chairs.
"This is a test from heaven. Charles sat on a stake used as a chair and sighed, "This indicates that what we have to do is full of hardships, but no one can succeed casually without going through wind and rain, how to see a rainbow." โ
His rhetoric really made everyone believe it, and the gods played some "apocalypse" or something from time to time, and it was written in the book.
Charles adjusted his mentality, and then said seriously: "We have heard from me the main purpose of the Knights Hospitaller's 'Guarding the People and Helping the Suffering' and the concept of equality within the Order, and everyone has joined in with this theme and concept. โ
"Now let me tell you about some of the rules and regulations in the Order, and let's discuss them. โ
"First of all, political democracy, economic democracy, military democracy, these are the founding principles of the Order. โ
"Political democracy means that all members of the Order are politically equal, they are the masters of the Order, only the difference in position and division of labor, there is no dignity of the noble, the officer must respect the personality of the soldier, respect the rights of the soldier, and consciously accept the supervision of the masses. The soldiers actively participated in the management of the Order, and proceeded from strengthening the construction of the Order, criticized and put forward reasonable suggestions. โ
"Economic democracy means that the members of the Order supervise the economic expenditures of the Order, maintain the financial system, prevent corruption and waste, embezzlement of members' interests, and violations of laws and morals, so that the funds of the Order can be used where they should be used. โ
"We Knights are also on a military mission, but our enemies are disease and natural disasters. Military democracy means that when the military is in action, all members are mobilized to offer suggestions and suggestions, solve various difficult points, and discuss how to accomplish combat tasks. โ
"Davarich, what do you think of these three principles, and what opinions and suggestions can be put forward and then changed, and then collectively voted on, and everyone should abide by them. โ
A group of people sitting in a circle with Charles, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.
They were all soldiers, some from the kingdom of Reyrik and some from the kingdom of Biberach, plus spies from other countries that did not want to be revealed, they were considered well-informed, but this kind of rule was unheard of for them.
Everyone was ordered to come to fight the epidemic, and when they were done, they went back to their respective homes, during which they listened to the orders of the legendary Earl of Maccaden, but they didn't expect him to do so much.
"The ......," Erich said, holding up his hand, "may I ask a question?"
Charles didn't expect that it was the child who spoke first, and he smiled and said, "Okay, what's your problem?"
Erich tilted his head and asked curiously, "Uncle Charles, will you use your identity as a chief to ask your aunts to fall on the bed with you, as written in the picture book hidden under your father's bed...... Ahh
Sir Hartmann pulled his son to his knee and slapped him on the ass at a frequency that was more intense than the raindrops had just dropped.
Amid the cries of the children, a group of people held back their laughter.
It took a while for Charles to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly said, "Sir Hartman, he's still a child, don't break him!"
Sir Hartman roared angrily, "I'm a doctor, I'll cure him when I'm done!"
Charles pinched his brow helplessly, he didn't look at it, so he turned his head to look at the girls.
Some of them were smiling, some were a little shy, and some of them raised an eyebrow at Charles after he saw it.
Charles said in his cry: "Actually, he asked this question very well and very representatively. โ
Then his expression became serious, "As I said just now, everyone in the Order is equal, but the division of duties is different, and it is absolutely not allowed to coerce others with power and status. โ
Among the people who made up the Knights Hospitaller, except for Charles, Sir Hartmann sent by the Kingdom of Ryric and the captain of the squad that assisted him were knights, the officers sent by the Kingdom of Biberach were barons, the doctors and the squad leader were also knights, the other soldiers of the two countries and Erich who was being beaten were all civilians, and the spy girls were ostensibly civilians.
They were indifferent after listening to Charles's words, and the baron and knights just smiled, a little unfamiliar to them on an equal footing with civilians or something.
However, they only joined temporarily, and they had heard that other knights had their own strange rules, such as requiring a certain hairstyle, and some only had same-sex lovers to join, etc., and now this kind of rule is nothing, and it is common for knights to call each other brothers.
The soldiers and spy girls couldn't react a little, and it was too fantasy for them to be on an equal footing with the noble lord, and they didn't dare to write like that.
Charles saw that everyone had no objections, so he was completely relieved, he was most afraid that there would be a moth inside.
He continued to say solemnly: "The situation we are facing now is very serious, and the slightest mistake will cause the plague to spread throughout the continent, and we ourselves may fall ill. โ
"So I hope that we can really twist the rope and strangle this plague in its infancy, and maybe our name will go down in history. โ
Except for Erich, who had just finished the beating, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter, and they all nodded solemnly when they had seen too many dead people or something recently.
