Chapter 2: The Primitive Church I
A month passed;
The sea breeze was blowing, and Moby was standing on the dock in a brand new leather armor, his long hair fluttering back in the wind, and he was full of spirit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He lowered his head and kicked the wooden shelves under his feet, on which a few boards were missing, and the dock showed a few gaps, and the whole dock did not look very solid;
Turning his head and commanding, he said:
"Pal, you tell the people in charge that they're going to fix the docks, and they're going to use them until they build a new one."
"Just say it's my command!" was a sentence with a subtle emotion;
Of course, the soldier named Parr did not appreciate the slightest difference in tone, he only knew that he had to obey the orders of the Lord in front of him;
He bowed down and replied:
"Yes, Moby-sama!"
Moby nodded softly, his eyes narrowed slightly!
Unconsciously thought that when he was in Hongshan County before, he was just a small mercenary captain in Sunrise City, not so much a captain, but actually just a liaison;
The title of captain does not bring the slightest benefit to himself;
Maybe the captains and regiment commanders of other professions can still get benefits, but the mercenaries are all about licking blood on the knife edge, if they really do something regardless of the rules!
Hehe!
Maybe now there aren't even bones left.
Thinking about things wildly, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Mayor Highbury walking towards the docks, Moby tidied up his clothes, strode forward, and said decently:
"Mayor Highbury, good afternoon!"
Highbury was full of spring breeze, smiled and nodded:
"Hello, Captain Moby!" George had gone back to the castle, and now he was the chief of the castle, and he was in a very good mood;
Moby in front of him is the captain of the town's guard, who was transferred from the castle by Sir himself.
Highbury smiled gently:
"Are you used to living in the house these days? If the house is not comfortable, you can tell Barnes to build another one somewhere else."
Moby hurriedly shook his head and said:
"It's already very nice, Lord Mayor! I love the house very much, with a nice little garden, it's a great design!"
"I love it!"
Highbury laughed, and was about to speak, when he turned his head and saw a white dot appear in the place where the sea and the sky communicated, and he couldn't help blurting out:
"It's coming!"
When the others heard this, they followed the sight of the town chief:
At the junction of the black sea and sky, a white sail is slowly emerging! No! It's two, three! Three sails in total!
Moby turned his head and said:
"Your Excellency, let's prepare!"
Highbury retracted his gaze, nodded, turned and commanded:
"Go ring the bell and tell everyone to pick up the boat!"
"Also, hot water, food, clean clothes! are they all ready? Let's make sure again, the whole thing was decided by Sir himself!"
"There must be no mistakes!"
Highbury stood solemnly, with a faint majesty;
After hearing this, several attendants immediately bowed down and responded:
"Yes, Lord Highbury!" the men led their orders and ran away;
Highbury turned his head to look at the sails again, and the three white sails were all exposed, and the dark hull below was slowly emerging;
Just said:
"Lord Mayor, how could Sir suddenly change his mind and suddenly buy 300 slaves?" he tried to divert his attention to relieve the stress of his mind;
Highbury looked at the three big boats quietly and said:
"I don't know that either"
"When Sir had just come to Baytown a month before, he had not yet proposed the idea of buying slaves, and it was not until he had been out for a week and then he came back with an offer to buy slaves and food," said after a moment's thought:
"Maybe something happened this week!"
Where did Jazz go that week? Highbury had a guess in his mind, but he knew what to say and what not to say;
The sea breeze blows slightly, and the waves crash against the stones under the pier, splashing clumps of fine foam;
Highbury raised his head, the corners of his mouth curled, and said:
"It's coming!"
Three merchant ships sailed into the port, but because the wharf was only built temporarily, only one ship could dock, so when one ship came over, the other two ships had to wait not far away;
With Highbury's order, the docks were busy;
。。。。。。
Colored plains, royal palaces
In the humble room, Seta sat high on a coral bed, playing with a large round pearl in his hand, and watched in silence at the eight mermaid leaders sitting respectfully below, until they all bowed their heads;
Then he turned his head and asked:
"Hugh, how many people are there in the tribe now?"
Hugh, the former elder of the Tetri tribe, immediately stood up and said respectfully:
"Great King, since 6 new wild tribes have joined, the tribe now has a total of 118 people, including 105 qualified warriors!"
Speaking of which, he was a little relieved that the Tetri tribe had finally slowly recovered some of its strength, although there were still only a hundred people, and there was still an unknown gap between the five hundred people at the peak of the tribe before;
But even so, Hugh was satisfied, after all, it had only been a month!
Nodding slightly, Seta stood up, waved his hand to sit down the leaders who stood up after him, and then said:
"If there are many people, there should be some rules!"
"White Fang!"
The tall mermaid warrior immediately got up, prostrate on the ground, and shouted loudly!
"In!"
"In the name of the King of All Merfolk, I appoint you as Captain of the King's Guard"
"You choose the 20 bravest and strongest warriors from among all the warriors and form the King's Guard!" said Setta, without looking at the surprised expressions of the leaders;
But others may be surprised, but White Fang is not ambiguous, and directly responds:
"Yes, great king!"
Motioning for White Fang to get up and sit back, Seta looked at his first merfolk servant again:
"Terry Hugh!"
"Yes, great king!" the old mermaid immediately prostrate on the ground with its head buried deep in the white fangs of the previous white fangs;
Seta looked at the respectful old mermaid and said:
"In the name of the king of all mermaids, I appoint you as the great priest, responsible for the sacrifice of the gods, and form a sacrificial group" waved his hand to stop the old mermaid's doubts:
"Later, I'll tell you how to do it in detail!"
The old mermaid respectfully complied, and then retreated to herself as seated;
With the two main duties arranged, Seta sat down on the coral bed again;
Then the remaining six leaders were also assigned large and small positions, which were basically determined according to their personal strength and the size of the wild tribe they originally belonged to.
After assigning everyone's duties, Seta coughed lightly, quieted everyone who had some new duties, and said slowly:
"Everything has been distributed, everyone must be responsible for the things in their hands, and there will be rewards for doing well, iron tools and food! But can't you do it?" looked around left and right, and waited for everyone to bow their heads:
"There are punishments! There are dismissals and deprivations of honor!"
Looking at the people below who were silent for an instant, Seta nodded with satisfaction before saying:
"Everyone else go down, Hugh and White Fang stay!"
"Yes, great king!" said the people carefully exited the room, and then stood at the foot of the steps, looking at the small palace, and felt as if they had suddenly felt a sense of majesty, and their hearts were a little awe-inspiring for a moment;
Each went down to consult with someone he knew and did not mention.
And in the king's house, after all the people had gone out, there were only three left;
Seta ordered the gate to be shut, and then said:
"White Fang, King's Guard, you will select the people when you go down, remember to be the strongest!
"After a while, I will send some more iron weapons down from the shore for you to use!"
Hearing this, White Fang was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and replied:
"Yes, Great King!"
Nodding slightly, and then turning to Terry Hugh, Seta said:
"Hugh, your business is more important, I will tell you in detail!" he asked:
"Do you know God?"
Terry Hugh was a little confused, but said nevertheless:
"Great King, I know God, and those are great beings!"
It's good to know, otherwise it will be troublesome to just explain what God is, nodded slightly, and continued:
"Our kingdom will have a god too!"
"You have to let all the people know that our kingdom is blessed by God!"
Terry Hugh was not a country mermaid who knew nothing, and after listening to the king's words, he immediately felt his heart tighten, and then he had a wonderful feeling:
'What if, tribal tribe, no, the kingdom is really protected by God?'
Thinking so, the mermaid old man licked his lips and asked carefully:
"What shall we call our God, great King, and what is his doctrine?" asked the blessed old mermaid;
There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Seta's mouth, and her voice was clear and inexplicable:
"Our God, known as the God of the Sea, is the Lord of all seas and the belief of all sea creatures!"
There is no god of the sea in this world! Or maybe there was, but now there is none! This is what Seta learned in the House of the Mage, a book about many gods;
"Since there isn't, then it's not a big problem to occupy yourself, right?" The corners of his mouth curled slightly, ignoring the two subordinates who were trembling with excitement, and continued:
"The ocean nurtures life and abundance, but it is also angry and punishes all disrespectful!"
