Chapter 53: The Dungeon I Learned from Sadiq

Seeing him act like this, he knew that he shouldn't ask, so he talked about other topics. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The next night, he took us to his bedroom and whispered to us, "That's the question you asked, which we are not allowed to ask here." So no one among the ordinary people and the staff can understand it, and no one thinks about it, only because I sorted out the materials, but I don't know it comprehensively.

What I learned was that three hundred years ago there was a great catastrophe on the ground, and a god in silver armor brought the refugees here to avoid it. They slowly developed a lot of land here, and after decades of construction, it took a scale. The gods told everyone to choose a few leaders to take care of this place, and then they disappeared.

Then one day, he came back and brought back a dozen people. One of the young men is their master. The gods told the leaders that the young man was his representative and that they would listen to him in the future. After a few more years, the god disappeared again, and has not reappeared since then.

The young man who represented the gods had the city lord's house built, and the chieftains were reappointed by him as a guru and four elders, and at the same time built the guru and the elders a house that was more magnificent than the others' houses. After the city lord's mansion was built, the city lord rarely appeared in public.

Although he has never appeared in public, as long as he is an official of the second rank or above, he can have the opportunity to meet him. Uncle Adiri has also been summoned. Everyone agreed that the lord of the castle they had seen was a man. Although the officials have changed batch after batch, passed down from generation to generation, the lord of the city has always been the same person. But every time the city lord showed his face, it was very short, and even if the master and the four elders came to see him, they would often be separated by a curtain.

The lord of the city would issue some orders, such as allocating land, building schools, building various workshops, shops, pharmacies, etc., and then the guru and the four elders would discuss it in a unified manner, form a plan, and then complete it one by one. Among his entourage were a dozen young people who taught Chinese and Chinese characters, and these people later became teachers.

The school is free and provides three meals a day for free, which is to ensure that the children who grow up are nutritionally balanced, so that we can all grow up healthy. Children must go to school as early as six years old and eight years old in the morning and evening, and must apply if they are unable to attend school for special reasons. Men and women are separated from students when they study and play, but they are not prohibited from coming and going after school. Students learn sinology, arithmetic, physical training, farming, weaving, and animal husbandry in school, and after five years, in addition to continuing to study sinology, they can also choose to study architecture, smelting, and kitchen, and graduate in ten years.

From an early age, children know that our ancestors came to the Free City because of the Great Tribulation, and that the god we believe in is the silver god. Nothing else will be known, and they will not be allowed to ask more. I don't know why, in fact, even my father doesn't know why, it's just a tacit agreement reached over 300 years.

The castle lord is the representative of the silver god, and the will expressed by the silver god is conveyed through the castle lord. But if the will of the silver god is completely denied by the guru and the four elders, it can not be carried out. It's just that for so many years, not a single thing has been denied, almost all of them have passed. Everyone also worships the city lord very much, because the city lord thinks about what the people think, and does things that can make everyone live happily. It's just that not everyone can meet the lord of the castle, so I guess the lord sometimes visits in plain clothes to get to know the people. The lord of the castle is for our sake, and he will definitely make us live a happier life.

Men can only marry when they reach the age of 21 and women when they reach the age of 18. Women work only with foreign aid and are mainly responsible for household chores, while men have a lot of work to do. Women are more respected, after all, it is a tedious task for women to run the house.

Men who have reached the age of 18 are required to train in the barracks for three years. The escort team recruits people, and they must wait until the end of their training and then voluntarily apply to join. The convoy is mainly trained in the Castle Lord's Mansion and patrols near the Castle Lord's Mansion. Occasionally, they patrol the city, but because it is always calm, the patrols are irregular. The Escort Corps has a high income, good salary, and is still a very sought-after profession, and you can retire until the age of fifty. If you are in good health, you can voluntarily apply for a postponement until the age of fifty-five.

In addition to the profession of guard, the government also has backup, that is, people who work for high-ranking officials and chiefs' families, and they are all assigned by the government. Those people in my family are also the support of the government, so don't talk casually in front of them. Although there will be no punishment, if you talk about it behind your back, you will still be criticized. Criticism is nothing, but when everyone knows about it, we will be despised and spurned, and we will feel that we are ungrateful.

Although the people here are simple, there are also prisons, and I don't know who is being held in them, at least I don't know anyone who is in prison. There is a legend that it is a person on the ground, and only the prison guards know about it, but these are secrets, and even good friends will not easily tell them.

There are very few doctors here, all of them are family heirlooms, and in fact, they all know a little about the skin. Generally, there are few people who are sick before the age of 50, so the need for doctors is not very great. But I found that since you came, there have been more sick people in the city, and I don't know why. ”

After listening to Sadiq's long words, we were also shocked, the god in silver helmet and silver armor? Is there a god in this world? Could it be an alien spacesuit? Hey, how can I be so smart to think that it is an alien! But could it be an alien? What was the purpose of bringing these people here? Is it really to rescue them from disaster or to build his own base? They call the ruler the government, and it seems that they still maintain the habits of 300 years ago, and they don't know how the outside world is turned upside down now. He also said that after we came, there were more patients, why don't you say that your doctor will not do anything, and the patients can only make do with their own lives.

When we asked about the sun and moon, Sadiq asked us, "Isn't that normal? There is a sun, a moon, and stars in the sky? Can't you see it there?"

I asked him about the flywheel again, and I learned that it was made of silver gods, and it was activated by energy stones. Changfeng asked, "Who has the power stone?"

Sadiq said: "The power stones are mined in the mountains, owned by the government, and one power stone is enough for the flywheel to run for three months. But it is strictly controlled, because it is said that there are other uses for power stones. There are more than 100 flywheels in the city, which are managed by the government. Departs every morning at 6 a.m. from all districts of the city so that people in need can get around. The people who drive the flywheel are also trained to fly the flywheel, and they are carefully selected. The salaries of these people are not low, and they are worthy of the salaries of seven-grade officials. ”

As for the metal that makes the flywheel, Sadiq said: "It's called silver iron, and it's extracted from ore from the mountains. Of course, this can't be private mining, it's all arranged by the government, and it's all confidential. ”

I asked him if he wanted to go up there, and he said, "I don't know what the outside world is like, don't you see that I haven't asked you about the outside world?" because I don't want to mention your troubles. Although we also know that there is an outside world, we have known about you since childhood: the outside world is full of wars, and the beacons are constantly burning all day long, the smoke of gunpowder, the flames of war, deceit, and deceit are everywhere, and there are many ugly deeds that cannot be described in words. Although we can't see it, we live in the harmonious environment of the Free City and don't want to go for that kind of trouble at all. "We are speechless, we live outside and it has become a trouble, didn't grandma give him things outside?

When I asked for this question, Sadiq whispered to us, "Don't let Grandma know that there is already a war going on outside, she will be sad." ”

It seems that there is really no way to explain it to him, we are just laughing, can we still argue with him?

When chatting with Changfeng in bed at night, Changfeng thoughtfully didn't like to talk much. I asked him, "What's wrong?"

He said: "Sadiq talked about the man in the silver armor, and I dreamed of such a person when I was fifteen years old, and I never knew what a dream was until then. On the day I was just fifteen years old, I dimly saw a man in silver armor in my sleep. Later, it will be dreamed every few years, and it will become clearer and clearer. When he talks about it today, my first reaction is the person in my dreams. ”

I asked him, "Did he talk to you?"

Changfeng was silent for a moment before saying, "No, I resisted him in my heart, and he just stood there from afar." ”

I smiled and said, "It must be because you are the next target he is looking for, maybe you are the next city lord to choose." ”

Changfeng also smiled: "Maybe, but I subconsciously rejected him, so he couldn't get close to me." But even if he gets close to me, I won't be at the mercy of others. No matter how good it is, it's not as good as the outside world. It is a miracle that it has not collapsed for 300 years. It's just that even if you become a city lord here, it's not as comfortable as being a small president. Alas, I'm starting to miss the company. ”

I also said with emotion: "Yes, I also miss the company, the secretary Zhang Qiang, the old Li of the personnel department, Miss Liu in the office, and the group of employees who are not afraid of us." By the way, there is also Xiang Chuchu, I don't know how she is learning to drive? Changfeng, don't you think about Xiang Chuchu, I think she is quite a match for you. How's it going, chasing after you?"

When I finished my rambling and was about to listen to Changfeng's answer, what caught my ears was Changfeng's thin snoring. Hmph, the deliberate escape represents the panic of the heart. It seems that Xiang Chuchu has a great possibility of being my sister-in-law. When I got back, I had to match them well, and with a smile of anticipation, I quickly fell asleep.
