Chapter 33 Inheritance of the Apprenticeship Ceremony
The lineage apprenticeship ceremony was presided over by Noel. If it is a grandmaster-level apprenticeship ceremony, this host should be replaced with a full-time priest with a famous residence or temple in the industry.
Outside the house, there were already a crowd of people standing in the dark, men and women, adults and children from the Pike family came to see the excitement, and the employees of the family workshop also came to see the rarity. In front of the bay window, many people were lying on their stomachs, leaning their faces against the glass and looking in.
Even if he is not young, he still has little experience in hosting this kind of thing, especially because of his lack of education, Noel has to work hard in order to make no mistakes.
"I told God that when the night was deep and the day was approaching, the spirit bird offered Rui into my heart, up to the nine heavens, down to the nine earths, nine nine hundred and eighty-one counts, born as a holy teacher, and the teacher passed on the divine voice. When the gods are born to bless the world, the left passes on the Liuhe, the right passes on the six paths, the six six thirty-six skills, the skills pass on the students, and the son Mu Sheng's grace!" Probably made for this kind of occasion. Noel held a piece of paper, wore a pair of glasses, and dragged a long coda to read it. Then he led Bello, Klin, and Thoma to the table and bowed together.
After bowing three times, Noel picked up the piece of paper again, looked at it carefully, and said in a raised voice: "Tell the gods that there is Belo today, who is highly skilled and virtuous, and who is responsible for the way of teaching, teaching, understanding, and teaching, and can be used as a teacher. Today, let the stubborn children worship the disciples, become students, study carefully, serve carefully, so that the skills can be inherited, and the reputation can be revealed. β
When he had finished reading, Noel walked over to Bello and made a gesture to take a seat. Bello bowed to the stove, but did not move. It was early in the morning that Noel had already told him etiquette.
Noel walked up to Clint and Thoma, Clint was ten years old and Thomas was seven years old, and today the two of them were also dressed in formal clothes, small suits, white shirts. The hair was neatly pulled back and oiled. They stood in the middle of the room like little adults.
Noel asked, "Will you be a student of Bello, respect your teacher, listen to his teachings, and love him as your father?"
Clint and Thoma didn't know what this ritual meant, and they had been called up at four or five o'clock this morning, and had practiced it many times. The parents of the two were behind the two at the moment, and their eyes were a little complicated. In their opinion, Bello's drawings are so simple, they don't use the ceremony of inheritance and apprenticeship, and if they use the ceremony of inheritance and apprenticeship, the quality of the child in the future will have a great relationship with Bello, who is a teacher. Bello himself is still a teenager, and the youth is unconvincing.
Clint and Thoma replied in unison, "Yes!"
Noel nodded, and said, "Your parents, please come forward!" Klin's parents were Elhardt's parents, the Julians, and Thoma's parents were Eugène's eldest sons, the Svantes.
The mothers of the two did not move, and the fathers of the two stepped forward, walked up to Bello, bowed in unison, and invited Bello to take a seat. Bello returned the salute and bowed, but still did not move.
Noel continued: "Your children, your bloodline, under the witness of the gods, inherit the teacher's character, inherit the teacher's will, inherit the teacher's skills, and become a lineage that merges with the blood. You must let go of your shallowness, respect their teacher, and thank him for bringing a legacy to your bloodline. β
After saying that, the fathers of the two replied in unison, "Yes!" and bowed again and invited Bello to take a seat.
Bello returned the salute again, then walked to the table and sat down. The parents of Kling and Thoma stepped back, and the two children stepped forward, bowed officially, and shouted in unison, "Teacher!"
Bello bowed slightly, with some emotion in his heart, sometimes life often gives you something unexpected, makes you cry, makes you laugh, and makes you cry and laugh.
He spoke, "From this day forward, you are my students. As my students, I must abide by the seven rules: first, I must not deceive my teachers and destroy my ancestors, betray the inheritance, second, I must not bully the weak and harm innocent people, third, I must not commit adultery with women, fourth, I must not be jealous of my fellow students and kill each other, fifth, I must not steal property for the sake of profit, I must not be arrogant and lawless, and seventh, I must not collude with evil spirits to harm society! Can you all obey it?"
Here, Noel explained that he needed to set some rules, and he also took a piece of the ancestral teachings of the Pike family for Bello's reference. Bello thought about it and felt that it was better to directly copy someone else's finished product. So from his memory, he tampered with the seven rules.
This regulation is different from the general inheritance ceremony, and it is more about the basic principles of life. It sounds strange, but it's good when you think about it.
The two teenagers standing in the room naturally didn't know what this rule meant, and it was still a little difficult for their age to understand this. After listening to Bello, the two teenagers bowed in unison and replied, "Yes!
Noel stepped forward and announced in a loud voice: "At this point, the salute is over!
After speaking, I heard the big bell of "dang, dang, dang, dang......" ringing in an unknown place, striking the bell seven times in a row, then stopping for a while, and ringing seven times again. This means to advertise widely, which means that there is a lineage of master and apprenticeship rituals completed. At the same time, he also told the people around him that this family has a heritage and prosperity is just around the corner!
Belparo is a small city, and the seven consecutive bells are a big topic that soon spread throughout the city.
The Florentine family was the first to learn about the Inheritance Ceremony. It's just that they don't know the inside story, and the news that Amedai went to the Pike family and inquired about it is false and unbelievable. Hearing the seven bells, Amedai suddenly thought badly, he thought that this inheritance ceremony was prepared for armor. In his eyes, only the armor inheritance is worthy of the inheritance ceremony.
Think about the excellent performance of the armor. The roots of old Amedai's teeth hurt. Now he regrets it so much, these guys actually did it. He regretted even more that he had been so obsessed with it that he had taken Juliet to Pike's house and let this girl talk nonsense. Now it's okay, it's a shot and two scattered, and the cooked ducks are flying. In that moment, old Amedai had the urge to strangle his little daughter.
The idea was just a flash of thought. At this age, Amedai has long passed the age of regret and self-blame. Instead of blaming yourself, it is better to quickly find a way to solve the problem.
The meeting of the Florentine family was quickly convened.
The consequences had not yet been revealed, and the Florentine family meeting did not seem too tense. The situation that the elder Amedeh is now facing is explained. Then he swept his son and nephew with an inquiring gaze.
Like the Pike family, the Amedai family is also a multi-son family.
A middle-aged man with thin and short cheekbones and high cheekbones smiled confidently: "Uncle, you are too worried! It's just that you have mastered the production of armor, which is nothing! There are too many weaknesses in the Pike family!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man with high cheekbones stretched out a finger: "First, the Parker family does not have its own control over the origin of raw materials. We can unite with the raw material suppliers and get a piece of the pie, and the person in charge of Luc Beckbeck's workshop and I am very ironclad, and we will send a letter to them to increase the price of raw material supply, and they will not object; Let's pull the strings and let these shops unite and sign mutual assistance treaties together to increase the share of profits from armor. Our shop can also share a little meat to eat. β
"Then they may be selling armor at the 'Harvest Festival'. The middle-aged man with high cheekbones shook his hand fiercely, then waved it down, and said, "Zoe, let your people make trouble!
Zoe was a pimple-faced young man, and he replied angrily, "Yes, uncle!"
Not bad!
Targeted!
Caught the weakness of the Pike family!
Looking at his nephew's series of ideas, Amedei's heart relaxed.
Come to think of it, what's wrong with the armor? It's not a magic inheritance. The Pike family has always been a family of articulators. I don't know how many people in business are red-eyed. In terms of power, what else can the Pike family do besides relying on the nobility?
Not a single one can fight!
"Besides!" the middle-aged man with high cheekbones spoke again. "Let's be prepared for both. The first armor to appear in the world, we must find a way to get the data, it is best to get our hands on it, and take it apart. There's no way we can't do what they can do. Well, by the way, there must be more infiltration of the Pike family. Father, I suggest that a master be arranged to listen to the process of making armor. β
Old Amaid nodded, the root problem is still the problem of armor production.
"Finally, one more point, let's hype up Juliet's dismissal. Let the whole city of Belparo know about this nouveau riche divorce!, and discredit and smear their reputation!" the man with high cheekbones whispered.
Whether it is to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, or to be divorced, the initiator of this matter is Juliet, originally Bello's operation was to save the face of the Pike family, but I didn't expect that at this time, the Florentine family not only admitted this fact, but also publicized it. used the divorce to sit on the image of the Pike family's nouveau riche who disliked the poor and loved the rich.
