Section 508: The First People's Congress
Compared with the city, the Lin family has three points of tranquility.
The first rays of the morning sun shine on the water, like a warm hand caressing the cold surface of the lake that has been frozen overnight, brushing from above, and sparkling with bursts of waves.
Birds, beasts, insects and insects were also awakened by the morning light, and got up from their sleep, each making a regular call.
Bursts of insect chirping echoed from the forest over the water, breaking the silence that had lasted all night.
It's dawn.
The first to wake up were the peasants.
They are accustomed to the life of the sunrise and are used to being awakened by the sound of insects, so as soon as the insects in the forest chirp, they habitually wake up and prepare for a new day's work. But before they could fully wake up, and were about to go to the pond to drink some water in a foggy way, their footsteps suddenly stopped.
Their sleepy eyes were already worried, and with their current blank appearance, they looked even more sluggish. And the source of what makes them so sluggish lies in the things in front of them.
I saw that not far from the edge of the pond, there were two wooden poles erected high, and between the top of the wooden poles was a stretched white cloth, which was waving in the wind, and there were many patterns painted on it that were roughly square at a glance.
What's that?
The heads that had just woken up from their sleep were not very flexible, which made them still very dazed when they breathed. Then they subconsciously turned their heads and looked around, only to see that in the large circle of open space that surrounded the pond, there were white cloth banners everywhere, and some similar patterns were painted on them.
"What are these things?"
"I don't know. β
"I didn't have these things before I went to bed last night, how did I wake up and have so many more of them?"
"It's not like another alien attack is coming!"
"Let's see if your things are still there, if anyone is dead!"
"Nothing was missing, no one was killed or injured, it doesn't seem like an alien sneak attack, otherwise they wouldn't have left these things behind for nothing. β
"So what the hell is this stuff? Who got it?"
......
These peasants, who had just woken up, looked at the things that had suddenly appeared overnight, and the second monk was confused, and they exchanged with each other, accompanied by intermittent abrupt arguments.
The camp was still very simple, there were no complete houses, and most of the people slept in the open air, except for a few people such as Demps, who had tents to live in. Now their movement was so loud that it directly disturbed the other people around them, waking up those who were still asleep one by one.
"Why is it so noisy?"
"What happened?"
"What's that?!"
"Who made this?"
......
At first, these newly awakened creatures were a little angry and had a bad temper because their sleep was disturbed, but they soon all noticed the extra things in the camp, and they all lost their temper and became suspicious.
With the addition of these guys, their voices grew louder and louder, and it didn't take long to wake up most of the people in the camp. The big guys, whether they were civilians, slaves, or warriors, looked at these things inexplicably, and they were puzzled, and in the end it was Jacob who answered their doubts.
"This should be done by Mr. Patton. β
Awakened by the commotion, Jacob stepped into the crowd.
He was neatly dressed and armored, and it seemed that he had deliberately sorted it out on the way overβhe was a bronze knight recognized by the kingdom, and even at this time, he still paid attention to some details of lifeβand he also saw the sudden extra things in the camp.
If he was not mistaken, those were the same materials that Barton had asked him to find him the previous night, and the patterns on them confirmed it.
"Lord Barton?"
The crowd whispered.
Although there are still too many doubts in this, since this thing was done by Barton, then their worries can finally be put aside first.
But what are these things? What is Barton trying to do with these things?
A curious warrior asked the question, and Jacob answered him.
"If I'm not mistaken, the patterns on these white cloths are ancient sayings, the kind of wisdom that the legendary mages used for. β
"Old saying?!"
Everyone's spirits were shocked, and a pair of eyes instantly stared at those white cloths.
The thirst for this mystical knowledge of the ancient language was no less intense than that of Jacob the night before.
"How bold is man, how fruitful is the earth"
"The old society turned people into ghosts, and the new society turned ghosts into people"
"One day equals twenty years, running enters a new era"
"Compete with the arrows for speed, and compare with the sun and the moon"
......
If these people knew the ancient language, they would be able to read the ancient language written on the white cloth scattered throughout the camp, but now the three guys in the team who knew the ancient language were sleeping, so one of them could only look at it with wide eyes, but they could not understand the slightest meaning.
However, although they did not know these ancient words, as long as they thought that these things were the exclusive language of the mages, and represented the supreme wisdom and power, they still couldn't help but be excited, and they couldn't help but want to get closer, and only Jacob was puzzled: What did Barton do with this? He had never heard of a mage teaching an ancient language like this......
These things that Norman rushed to work overnight had a great impact on the crowd: before, everyone was just covering their heads when they were working, and they were too lazy to speak, for fear of wasting some more energy, but today everyone is not stingy with their own saliva, and they have to talk about this topic and exchange their opinions and questions. Norman, as if hearing their doubts, gathered them all together at noon.
......
On the shore of the sea of stars, a thick and sturdy stone wall rises abruptly from the ground, standing bare on the edge of the pool.
The stone wall was very high and smooth, and there seemed to be no place to climb, but in the upper half of the stone wall near the top, a white cloth banner was hung with a line of ancient words written in heavy black ink.
"The First People's Congress"
In front of the stone wall, a wooden platform about one person high was temporarily erected, and on the right side of the platform, some tables and chairs were placed, and some people were sitting there.
Of these seated people, Norman was the most centered, and on his left hand was Hugh, and on his right hand was Demps, who used to be Rusen, and Xiu used to be Jacob, and there were only five of them. However, behind them, there were still a few people standing, namely Atrimicia, Ophelia, etc., all of whom were cronies or servants of the five people present.
On the opposite side of the five were the rest of the group, mainly civilians, supplemented by slaves, who sat down along the edge of the pool on the ground in front of them, a black one, with a few warriors scattered in between, but many more soldiers either patrolled around the camp or stood guard at the scene to maintain order.
The people at the scene didn't know what they were suddenly called together, and they all had some doubts in their hearts, and they were whispering to each other.
Norman sat down on it, saw that there were all the people, and that the time was almost up, so he stood up, picked up the small hammer on the table in front of him, and slammed the wooden blocks specially placed on the table a few times, making a crisp and high-pitched sound, and for a moment drowned out the whispers of those people.
"Quiet, quiet!"
Norman shouted twice in quick succession, muffling their voices, and then continued to speak, announcing to them his intention to summon them over.
"We're bringing you here today for a couple of things, and we're here one by one. β
"The first thing is to canonize a few knights. β
Canonized Knight!
Monroe and the others sat in the crowd below - these guys were stronger, stronger than most warriors, but according to Norman, "construction comes first" at such times, so they could not escape the labor, and they still had to work hard with others to build the camp every day.
As soon as they heard Norman's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other, and they both saw ecstasy on each other's faces.
Yes, Norman did promise to canonize them, but they thought it would be like in the story of the bard, it was Norman's sword on their shoulders and a few words would be canonized, but they didn't expect Norman to gather everyone for them and hold a general meeting to do this, so that everyone could witness their canonization!
But more surprises are yet to come.
"I believe you have all seen two days ago, there are several brave warriors who have risked their lives to return our peace with their bravery, fighting spirit and extraordinary strength, and I feel that only by conferring knighthood on them can we truly recognize their contributions to us, so I will canonize them knights. If anyone disagrees, they can raise it right away and we can continue the discussion. β
When Norman finished speaking, he looked down and swept his gaze over the men three times, but none of them stood up.
Well, it seems that everyone is expected to do it.
Norman nodded in satisfaction, and spontaneously forgot what he had just seen when he looked down: as he looked down, he saw Monroe and the others staring wide-eyed, looking viciously from side to side, and one by one the muscles in their hands and bodies bulging vigorously and clenching their fists.
After making sure that there was no objection, Norman came out of the table, came to the wooden platform in front of the stone wall, walked up, and stood in the middle of the high platform.
He looked down and shouted, "Monroe!"
Monroe and the others had already been watching with their eyes, and as soon as they heard my Norman voice, Monroe quickly rushed out of the crowd, wanting to fly forward in two big strides, but he felt a little embarrassed, after all, he still forced himself to suppress his excitement and walked quickly to the side of the stage.
He obviously didn't know the rules very well, and Norman spoke again, telling him to go on stage and stand still in front of him.
After Monroe stood still in front of him, Norman suddenly let out another snort.
"Get down on one knee!"
Monroe was nervous and excited at the moment, his brain was inevitably not as flexible as usual, and when he heard Norman's shouting, he didn't have time to think about it, so he subconsciously knelt down on his left knee and knelt down on one knee in front of Norman.
Bang!
There was a sword stuck in the wooden frame beside Norman, and he held the sword in his right hand, and with a muffled sound, he pulled it out, and stabbed it at Monroe!
Monroe has learned divine skills in the end, and he has become more and more familiar with it in the past few days, and his body has developed some instincts, and he subconsciously wants to fight back when he sees this, but Norman's suppressed voice has already hit one step ahead.
"Don't move, it's etiquette!"
Monroe froze, but Norman's sword didn't stop, it had already touched Monroe and put it on his neck.
However, as Norman said, he did not want Monroe's life, but simply ceremonies: he touched the back of Monroe's neck with the back of his sword, then tapped Monroe's shoulders separately, and finally held the sword in one hand and placed the sword on Monroe's left shoulder.
"Follow me. β
Norman said this first, and then his voice became louder.
"Please give me courage!"
"As your servant,"
"Bless me with strength to enter the battlefield!"
"I will destroy the weak enemy,"
"Like the wind and dust!"
"Sincerely. β
Monroe did not hesitate, and recited aloud with Norman, one by one, and finally, after reading the declaration, Norman said to him: "Hereby, I confer on you the title of Bronze Horseman." β
With that, he put away his sword and took out a round badge from his bosom.
He motioned for Monroe to stand up, and then personally stepped up and pinned the badge to Monroe's chest, and Monroe's canonization was completed here.
Monroe was very excited, which could be easily seen from the expression on his face at the moment, as if he was going to dance immediately, but Norman did not let him stay on the stage, but asked him to get off the stage and wait, and called the next person to come up, repeating the process just now.
In this way, Norman solemnly canonized all six tattooed slaves in public, and finally stepped down and returned to his place and sat down. Monroe and the others followed Norman's instructions, and also returned to sit down again, but they were all excited and unstable, and their buttocks swayed from side to side.
This whole process was seen in the eyes of the people present, everyone's eyes were thoughtful, everyone had their own thoughts, but Norman didn't give them too much time to think, but the voice came again.
"This brings us to the second thing today, the establishment of the departments and the division of positions. β
