readx; In the evening, the carriage finally returned safely with Atheni and Lou Die, who opened the door for her, and looked very tired from her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At that time, Carlo was holding a storybook and trying to learn a language. When he saw the two of them coming back, he immediately stood up, but he didn't know what to say. Manny, who had just come downstairs, hurried downstairs, greeted her with a smile, untied Atheini's coat, said hello, and asked if things were going well.

Atheini asked Lou Lien to send the coachman away, closed the door, sat down next to Carlo, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said: "It's basically going well, and the question of inheritance should be over here, but about that diary is too valuable, the temple side submitted a more detailed report to the council just two days ago, I guess they got the information half a month ago, and they were able to collect this information so quickly and secretly, I'm afraid it took more than imagination." However, it is for this reason that I believe that this matter may be more serious than Uncle Daniel and I have guessed before, so you should inform him as soon as possible. ”

"Got it, miss, I'll do it later. Hearing Ashini's command, Mannie frowned and replied, apparently she was in the know, and in fact, she was the one who had greeted the messenger who had arrived in the imperial capital before Carlo.

"Hmm. Ashini took another sip of tea, then put it in Carlo's hand and said, "Take it, it will be warmer." "The climate is close to winter, and the West side is indeed a little cold at night, these tea sets are made of two layers of ceramics, which are special for winter, and pouring hot tea on the hand can indeed dispel some of the chill, Carlo holds the teacup that Aherini has just drunk, and seems to be able to feel the residual breath of Ashini from above.

And Ashini had already turned to Mannie who was standing at this time and continued to ask: "Another thing, after we left the History Academy, we heard an incident, saying that at noon, a pillar of light suddenly appeared near the Wisdom Holy Garden, penetrating the barrier of the royal city and shooting into the clouds, what is going on, have you investigated?"

"Actually, miss, I was going to report this matter to you, but I want to tell you alone. As he spoke, he glanced at Carlo, "Besides, I think you need to rest now, and it doesn't matter if you talk about this tomorrow." ”

When Carlo heard this, he looked up, only to find that Ashini's face was pale and frightening at this time, without a trace of blood, and immediately remembered that she was injured, and there was no rest in the rocking boat, plus excessive blood loss, and today after running outside for a day, I am afraid that my physical strength has been overdrawn, I can't help but be a little worried, and whispered: "Ashini, you are okay." ”

"Don't worry, Renault, I'm fine. Ashini replied kindly, noticing Mannie's gaze, Arsini had already guessed that the pillar of light might be related to Carlo, so she didn't plan to wait until tomorrow, "Say it, Mannie, there are no outsiders here." ”

Seeing that Ashini was so persistent, Mannie, who knew her character well, could only continue, so she explained the story in detail about the incident and made another cup of tea for Ashini.

"So, the appearance of that pillar of light was without any warning, and it is highly likely related to the Sacred Garden of Wisdom?" Arsini asked, holding her teacup.

"I do think so, as to whether this matter is good or bad, I really have no clue, but I think that Mademoiselle has just arrived in the royal capital, and in the absence of preparation, even if it is a good thing, it will be against us, so I immediately took Mr. Renault with me, and left for the time being, and stayed in the room all afternoon, so that no one should have noticed it. ”

"Well, you did the right thing. I have just arrived in the royal capital, and I haven't had much contact with the people here, and your identity is destined not to intervene in some groups, in this case, once the royal capital's attention is focused on us, it is easy to be designed by others and fall into danger. In this case, this matter must belong to some kind of secrecy, but there is no hurry, you go to do errands first, by the way, let's prepare dinner, I'll go sleep for a while, we'll talk at night. ”

"Yes, I see, please take a good rest, I'll go out first. At the end of the conversation, Mannie hurriedly took her coat and went out, as for the carriage, one could always be found on the corner of the street, and Atheini was indeed very tired at this time, if she hadn't been able to support it, she would have asked this matter more clearly, but after making sure that Carlo was not in danger for the time being, she was much more relieved, but still told Carlo a few words, and asked him to go to her bedroom with the book in his hand, so that Lou Dien could take care of Carlo while guarding her, just in case of an accident.

In the royal capital, sitting in a restaurant and eating is much more expensive than taking it away, often costing three times the price, and if the customer finishes the meal but does not leave for a long time, the owner may also chase people. As for the luxurious one-room restaurants, the cost is even more expensive. So, in addition to feasts, many people bring back beautiful boxed treats, which of course mean those who can't cook, like Mannie. For Carlo, who came to the royal capital for the first time, Ashini joked that there were many nobles in the royal capital who did not have much financial resources and even had to buy their own materials to cook, and at the same time, for Carlo, who did not know about Yulsiman social class, Ashini took a little extra saliva.

As in other countries, the most important class is the warrior who built the state, and these people will become the nobles of the future, however, the number of this class is very small in Yulsiman, and there are only three families who can make the founding of the kingdom a glorious history, the Sanders family, who were given the holy name by the Holy Religion, which is now the royal family, the Feresarn family, who are staunch supporters of the royal family, and the Gilgilli family, who have been seriously estranged from the royal family since some time. These three families are also the oldest families today.

The reason for this situation is directly related to the Church, which is written in the Holy Scriptures of the Church:

After the Father created His children, He fell asleep without having time to look at us humans, so that the world never knew of His existence. But when he opened his eyes again, he found that the powerful, the most perfect of the works, were depraved, and these people are now called ancient humans or dark people. The merciful Father, who could not bear to see the other children enslaved and humiliated by the cruel and depraved traitors, finally decided to punish and destroy the betrayers. So, overnight, the Father appeared to the world for the first time, and he gave new power to the enslaved people, and when someone broke through the shackles and felt the Father's presence, he could gain the power of rebirth.

However, the Father's trial was so difficult that those who felt the grace were not enough to overcome the people of darkness, and it was the first time that people prayed to the Father. Although the Holy Father hopes that the oppressed children can win on their own, so that they can truly win back their dignity, most of the people who have been enslaved for a long time have lost the will to resist, and the Holy Father has to give guidance again, so that the children who have returned to their arms can find the three leaders, and finally under the leadership of the three leaders, people finally get rid of the slavery and return to the arms of the Holy Father.

Although the story in the holy scriptures is inevitably embellished, this document still corroborates with history, although the history has become obscure due to the mutual praise of each other in the war, but the force that raised the army back then is indeed composed of the three nobles and many holy believers today. When the war was won, the greatest contributor naturally became the ruler of the country, but all the saints did not do so, and they went to different places and led the scattered people to establish the faith, which is why there were temples everywhere in the kingdom of Yursiman.

After that, the newly established Yursiman immediately fell into chaos until a sage appeared and helped the royal family win over the hearts and minds of the people and establish a system of rule.

In addition to the descendants of the three heroes, the present Yursiman can be classified as follows: one is the leaders who were inspired by the sages in the midst of chaos, and these people later became lords or nobles in various places, about twelve tribes, and Ashini's ancestors were one of them, such nobles had a long and deep-rooted heritage, and had their own territory, and at the same time had to keep the oath of their ancestors to protect the territory, drive away the enemies, disperse the wild beasts, and go to the temple to pray for the blessings of the people, and win the respect and praise of the people at one time;

The second group is also the nobility, but they are only passers-by of this class compared to the nobles who have owned the territory for thousands of years, and these people may have been rewarded for their military exploits, given this status, or for other reasons, they are called canonized knightly nobles. But such a status does not have much benefit, it is just an honor, and it gives its owner some economic rewards and some small rights, and at the same time has the obligation to fight for the country at any time. Quite a few people use this right for tax deductions in trade, but other than that, they are no different from civilians. However, there were a few exceptions, such as Ashini's father, who, due to Athenie's mother, had given up a piece of land to become a lord, much to the envy of many of his comrades. It's just that this canonized knight canonized by this, if Ahini only inherits his father's identity, she will be demoted when she inherits it, and her descendants will directly lose the title of canonized knight, return to commoners, and lose the territory at the same time, unless she can be rewarded again before that, in order to keep the inheritance of the territory.

The third group is the commoners, who accept the protection of the lord and pay taxes in exchange for the status of the commoners, and almost all of them are devout believers, who usually donate to the church to maintain the daily operation of the church and the practice of the believers. The church, on the other hand, would provide blessings, relief, and judgment against the oppression of the nobles for the commoners, and the church would always favor the commoners in the judgment, in addition to the paid education waiting. The commoners, the nobility, and the church formed the balance of Jurciman.

"What about the fourth category?" Carlo was already fascinated by the fact that the structure of Jurciman's state was different from all the histories and nations that Rayban had ever taught.

Mannie gave him a reluctant look, put down the food in her hand, hesitated, and continued to explain. As for why Mannie is narrating, it is because she watched Ashini tired for a day, but did not eat, but told Carlo about the history of the empire with great interest, worried about her health, but did not want to stop her, so she had to take over the task herself.

"Actually, for Yulsiman these are the composition of the state, if there is another category, it is the freed, as I said earlier, the commoners also need to pay taxes and donations to the church in exchange for the certificate of the commoners, but there are some people who do not want to pay taxes and do not believe in the church, these people are not protected by the empire, and the church also sees them as nothing, but they have their own way of living, although I don't know much, but I can tell you that many people on the docks are freemen, and they are the only value for Yulsiman is good labor。

There are many reasons for their origins, but I only know the origins of some of the freedmen of West Side, who usually live in the docks, along the river outside West Side City, and there are also some underground in West Side City, who are the remnants of the city, kind of pawns, a group of poor people.

Although the current West side is large, only 20,000 people came with the royal family to build the city. Because the royal city was located at the confluence of three great rivers, ports and trade gradually sprung up here, and more and more people came here, but it became more and more crowded, and at its peak, the city gathered more than 200,000 people. Eventually, the royal family repossessed the house and auctioned it off, forcing the 120,000 people who had not bought the house to move out and find a new place to live with half of the wealth from the auction.

However, some of them chose to stay and become the freedmen they are today, the forgotten on the fringes of the country. But now they have their own way of life, but they don't have influence and no one is going to know and relate to them, so that's all I know. ”

The matter of the Free Man was very surprised, but it was not what he was going to ask, so, after a short silence and reflection, he asked again, "What about the church?" But when he went to find Mannie, she was about to take a bite to the food she picked up again, regretting her opening a little.

Sure enough, Mannie's face was a little ugly, but she couldn't vent in front of Ashini, so she could only endure her anger and say: "The people of the church do not belong to Yursiman, and they have no rights and obligations to everything about Yulsiman. ”

At this time, Ashini took over the topic, she had finished her meal, wiped her mouth with a napkin elegantly, and explained to Carlo: "Mannie is right, although the church is very influential, it does not belong to Yursiman, in fact, you can put the church and the country of Yulsiman on the same level, according to the ancient contract, the church can not interfere with everything in Yulsiman except to protect its own believers, and Yulsiman has no right to ask the church to do anything except ask the church to perform the necessary ceremonies. Thus, the believers belonging to Yursiman became the link between the two, so that the commoners could be so comfortable.

In fact, those noble knights who were canonized also lost the trust of the church while standing in the royal family. So, in a sense, the aristocracy and the church were opposed in many ways, or the result was doomed when the three heroes parted ways with the church after the holy war.

Okay Renault, the reason why we are telling you this is just to let you know some things about the royal capital, this is not like my town or Aliman City, many things are not under our control, so, you have to understand these things, but there are some things you don't need to delve into, such as the church, in short, everything about it, you just try to avoid it, those things are only bad, not good, I think, you will not pay for a strange faith with amnesia.

Moreover, even if you really want to know about the church, it is best not to ask during the meal, because if you want to say, I am afraid that it will take a long time, and the food on the table will be cold, so you can eat quickly. ”

Atheni said with a smile, but Carlo could see the tiredness on her face. With an inexplicable ache in his heart, he nodded, and ate in silence, and Mannie was finally relieved.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, go sleep for a while, you can enjoy it slowly, Mannie, help me cook a bowl of recovery potion in a while, I remember that you are the only food you know, you should not forget it after all these years, turn back to my room." I'll see you tomorrow. With that, Atheni went upstairs to Mannie's room where she didn't know, and Carlo could hear the door closing downstairs, and Lou Ann got up and went upstairs, leaving Carlo and Mannie to continue to destroy their share of food.
