Chapter 65: The Quiet Revival of Renaissance

The general terrain of Cancer Island is high in the east and low in the west, high in the north and low in the south, not only the land is fertile, but there is also a small freshwater lake, a river flows out of the small lake, and flows into the sea in the southeast, and the trees and prey in the mountains and forests are also relatively rich, and I don't know how much better than Crescent Island.

The entire island was only developed by the pirates near the docks, and the rest of the island was still covered with wild grass and thorny trees.

There was no road ahead, so Donner, Theodore, and the others stood down by the river, said a conversation, and went back the way they came.

By this time, the forty or so slaves had already prepared lunch under Blair's arrangement.

After eating, Theodore returned to the ship to rest, and as a nobleman, he usually had the habit of taking a nap.

Donner stands on the wall with Hans, Jasmine, Jason, and others discussing some things about Cancer.

Donner leaned against the wall and said, "Theodore will return to the mainland in a few days, and we should hurry up and train the pirates of Cancer Island in the next few days, so as not to let them have the idea of making trouble." The patrol team should be divided into two shifts, do not slacken, pay close attention to all movements on the island, and nip the danger in the bud, but be careful not to harass the inhabitants of the island for the time being as long as they do not talk to you. ”

The Liberation Group has just captured Cancer Island, which is very unfamiliar to the residents of the island, and this time is also their most sensitive period, once a conflict occurs, it is likely to turn into a bloody conflict, even if the Liberation Group has the strength to forcibly suppress it, but it is quite unfavorable for the harmonious coexistence and rule in the future.

You can't kill them all for the sake of a small conflict! and, above all, in the eyes of Donner, they are all the people who are urgently needed for the development of industry.

Everyone nodded, they were already happy with Donner, and since Donner took charge of Crescent Island, their lives were getting better and better day by day.

On Crescent Island, not only did they make porcelain and sell it for a lot of money on the mainland, but they also made powerful weapons, and now they have defeated one of the most powerful pirates in the eastern seas, the Blood Shark Pirates, and captured Cancer Island. They have full confidence that the Donner will lead them to a better life.

Standing on the city wall and looking at the calm bay and the endless sea in the distance, Donner suddenly asked, "How long has it been since you have been back to the mainland, do you remember what your hometown looks like?"

Hans Mack and the others were silent for a long time, and only after a long time did Hans speak: "Since I was a pirate, except for the occasional raid on the coastal territory of the mainland every year, I haven't been to the cities inside the continent for too long, and I can't remember what my hometown looks like for a long time. ”

Indeed, their hometown is already too far away from them. Jasmine and the others all showed nostalgic looks.

"I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to go back to my hometown in this life, but I planted an apple tree in front of my house when I was a child, and I think it's a lot of apples now!" Mike sighed.

Donner comforted: "Don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities in the future." ”

In fact, why didn't Donner want to go to the mainland to see it? This world is so big, there are legendary elves, orcs, dragons, magicians, etc., since he has come here, it is a pity that he does not see the customs of the other world.

However, his identity is predestined, and he cannot walk freely on the continent. If you want to enjoy the scenery of other places, you must have enough strength.

So, in Donner's mind, Cancer Island has always been just a springboard for him to go to the mainland.

Donner didn't think about going directly to the mainland to launch a violent revolution, leading the slaves and proletarian serfs to revolt in an armed rebellion and seize a small territory.

However, without an army strong enough to resist the otherworldly and a strength that made the nobles fearful, it was almost impossible to successfully launch a revolution and gain a firm foothold with the ideas he propagated.

This is not only a question of armed strength, but also a lack of mature revolutionary soil, and it is impossible for the slave civilians on the mainland at this stage to accept his ideas overnight with their ideas imprisoned and their extremely low level of education.

He didn't want to, as soon as he shouted for the equal abolition of slavery, he was tied to the gallows by the nobles, and finally hanged in grievance.

Therefore, the road should be taken slowly, first of all, to cultivate a group of staunch liberation fighters, and then to mobilize other slaves and proletarians who need to be liberated.

The real emancipation is not the forced emancipation of the liberation regiments, but the realization of the vast number of slaves and proletarians that they need emancipation.

The liberation regiment cannot forcibly launch liberation, but promotes liberation, and ultimately achieves the goal of leading liberation, and of course, it is an inevitable reward to finally obtain the fruits of liberation victory.

Donner has been thinking about these things for a long time.

"By the way, Jason, Blair, how did you become slaves. Donner suddenly asked the two, in his opinion, the two can read and count, are intellectuals in the other world, and have a good ability to handle affairs, should not be reduced to a slave.

Jason and Blair smiled wryly, "That's a bit long. ”

Donner smiled, "Then let's make a long story short!"

Jason nodded, and recounted their experiences: "The two of us came from different territories, both ordinary commoners, and later worshipped a learned sage as a teacher, and read and read with him. ”

"The teacher has many students, and we have been learning with the teacher for more than ten years. ”

Blair took over the topic: "Then there was a great drought in the territory, and the wheat fields were not harvested, but the lord still demanded that the serfs and the people pay enough taxes, so the hungry serfs and miners rioted. ”

At that time, the teacher persuaded the lord to temporarily exempt the serfs from paying taxes, obey the king's edict, and abolish the slavery system to quell the rebellion. ”

"But......" Jason shook his head, "the lord would rather spend the same amount of silver to hire mercenaries and ask the kingdom's army to extinguish the rebellion than to do what the teacher says." ”

"Many slaves and serfs had died, and the teacher, a true sage, begged the lord with his life to take back the order, but the lord remained indifferent. ”

At that time, the teacher scolded the lord for his cruelty, cursing him for failing to suppress it, eventually dying at the hands of slaves, and the territory would be occupied by serfs. The lord was furious and had the teacher arrested. Blair was saddened: "However, the teacher committed suicide on the spot. ”

Jason continued, "The lord felt humiliated and ordered all of the teacher's students to be taken up and reduced to slavery. Later, the two of us were bought back by Lord Theodore. ”

"Oh!" Donner was surprised, he didn't expect that there were such scholars in the Holy Light Continent?

He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the lord kill your teacher in the first place?"

Blair said lightly: "As a knowledgeable sage, the teacher is still well-known among the nobles in the kingdom, and the lord does not dare to kill the teacher rashly." ”

Oh! It suddenly dawned on Donner, it seems that there are still a number of intellectuals on the mainland who are at the forefront of thinking! And they are quite prestigious.

In fact, Donner didn't know that at this time, in the Holy Light Continent, local literature and art had quietly begun to recover.

At this time, an explorer who had completed his voyage around the world arrived in the Kingdom of Eternal Winter and was received by the Queen of Eternal Winter, who gave a grand speech in the capital of the Eternal Winter King.

He proposes that the planet is round, not that the earth is a continent sloping southward, as recorded in the Bible, and that the end of the sea is not an abyss. As long as people keep walking in the direction of sunset or sunrise, they will eventually return to the original point.

As soon as these words came out, not only the Holy See was furious, but countless people were also shocked.
