i have a shelter.

However, he was also a little confused by the mercenaries who had appeared in Elda in the past two years.Because those mercenaries are more daring than him!

But the appearance of these mercenaries is a great thing for the upstarts. The affairs in the city are basically done by the upstarts and the mercenaries.Otherwise, the food and population are still in the hands of the old-school nobles.I can't even make it in my own factory.

And after the earth-shattering riot in the city this year, Duke Wenxiang also discovered the advanced thinking of these mercenaries.

Recently, he has been deeply moved by the book New Era of Magic written by Miss Sophia, and he is very impressed by the responsibility, responsibility and mission of the nobility in the new era mentioned in it.Reading and studying.They are throwing away the old ideas that the moon god taught them to these guild members, and are chasing after the torrent of the new magic age that is constantly accelerating.

And the books written by Dan, Wendell, Ian and others even hit Duke Wenxiang's heart directly. There is a sentence in it that every time he reads it, he can't sleep for a long time. I can bear the darkness instinctively. If I haven't seen Live bright!

On this street, there is such a group of people who were once in the dark, but now they are rising up to resist. Those mercenaries make Duke Wen Xiang love and fear them. They preached loudly and told stories loudly.

What these people said was scarier than what the old farmer said...

After the Sun King heard this, he couldn't help trembling all over.And those old-school aristocratic lords even covered their faces, trembling...

...

Things like this can be seen everywhere in Elda today, and in this city, in the industrial areas of the city, it is much more common, especially when the workers are off duty.

Many mercenaries were originally on vacation in the city, and often when they passed by here, they would be stopped by the people and asked them to tell everyone something and gain insights.

The Sun King discovered that these mercenaries were telling all kinds of stories, including stories on the battlefield ahead, and interesting things that happened in various places.They are very down-to-earth, lively and interesting, much more interesting than what the bards tell. The people love to listen to them and listen to them as ordinary stories.

But the Sun King is able to listen to the way in which those people are spreading ideas!In Enlightenment Wise!

They are advocating equality, universal love, courage, diligence, generosity... They are all the thoughts of the Seven Gods, but the protagonists and hero dreams in the stories are not the priests in the Holy Court, but the ordinary poor people Even mercenaries and farmers born as slaves.

They either take part in battles, act chivalrously, or extend a generous hand to those around them, sacrificing themselves to save others.The protagonists in every story are praiseworthy.And the villains in every story are overwhelming.

The identities of these villains are naturally demons.But they are all the demons lurking among the nobles and the church!

These demons wear human skins and hide in the world. They use the name of law and justice, but what they do is to skin and drink blood.On the grounds of their inviolable aristocratic rights, they cleverly set up a name to plunder the food of the common people and squeeze the hard-earned money of the workers.

Many people died because of them, but the money and food that was looted were not given to the frontline troops, or they were squeezed in the granary to stink and rot.Or they resold it at high prices for the gold and silver that adorned their castles or churches.

The people in the territory starved to death one by one, but the demons were at ease.The skins of the nobles and the church have become their protective shields.Make people unable to tell whether they are human or ghosts.

Shouts rang out, and the mercenary standing on the box asked loudly to the crowd below: "How to tell the difference between demons?"

People gave many answers.He also said that those who eat Naka and do not give people a way to survive are all demons.Some people also say that it is the one who collects exorbitant taxes and usury. Of course, there are also those who force the workers to work without paying them.

Hearing this, Duke Wenxiang coughed with embarrassment. Recently, Miss Sophia is reorganizing the workshop with Her Majesty Elizabeth and establishing new rules. I have been actively responding, okay?Not giving money was a thing of the past...

Recommended, the source change artifact APP is really good, it is worth installing, after all, you can read books in cache and read aloud offline!

The upstarts were okay, but the old nobles covered their faces with pale faces, and didn't look over there.

The mercenary asked again: "What kind of tricks do those demons usually use to cheat food and things from your hands?"

The crowd became chaotic.And the Sun King found out that those big words can't make a basket of common people understand them all!And also know a lot of law!

He listened to the sound waves and the words spoken by the crowd.His eyes widened.

But the Sun King didn't quite understand why these nobles allowed the people to make troubles and openly preach these things, it was simply a rebellion!

Whether it is the stories told by the mercenaries or the ideas spread by the mercenaries, they all violate the taboos of the nobles!

Taking a peek at the leopard, now in the whole of Eldari, people probably only have Sanctuary and Rangers in their hearts, and there are no nobles and knights.

But what's interesting is that the private soldiers of the nobles were all listening, not only maintaining order there, but also listening with gusto.Some people are still eating pumpkin seeds in there!

0852 Spark of truth

Looking at the crowd over there, the Sun King opened his mouth in disbelief.

The common people don't know anything, so it's normal to join in the fun.The quality of the private soldiers is low, so it is normal not to know the meaning of what they say - after all, these private soldiers, whose family members are poor people, may rebel with the mercenaries, or even join the mercenaries.

But the knights and nobles who managed the private soldiers just watched?The local nobles and gentry don't care?

They are not fools, why do they see everyone rebelling in their own territory?

What was that castle for?Isn't it to prevent the common people from rebelling like this?

George is not here every day, and there are not so many mercenaries in this city.The local nobles just let the mercenaries passing by occasionally run amok here?

The Sun King couldn't help but looked at the nobles not far away in surprise, and found that they were all looking left and talking, and no one rushed to look over there.After seeing the crowd over there, several nobles who passed by here directly walked away on the side of the street, covering their faces.But a group of noble ladies and young masters in short outfits excitedly joined the shouting crowd.

The Sun King suddenly understood.

This city is now a 'all people are soldiers'!Anyone who makes trouble will be against the hundreds of thousands of people in this city!

The honest and well-behaved people are still the noble lords. George gave them a way to survive and turned them into idle nobles who stayed in the city one by one.Those who are dishonest and do not abide by the rules, and who do evil and do not allow others to survive, are demons.The common people will overthrow them without the need for mercenaries or troops to come!

Therefore, the soldiers who don't need the shelter have been stationed here all the time!

As long as there are occasional rangers who pass by here to act as leaders-maybe, there are backbones among the people!

Seeing that George and the others had gone far away, the Sun King hastened his pace and followed, and found that George was laughing and chatting with the nobles.

"...Count Sandra, thanks to your food. His Royal Highness Alfonso mentioned your contribution many times in the letter-I heard that you have recently distributed a lot of food for disaster relief?"

Earl Sandra, who bought it in [-], wrinkled his face with a smile, and he answered each sentence with the surrounding old-school nobles.With flattering smiles, the upstarts told George about their achievements.

According to the upstarts, they took the initiative to contribute money to help refugees out of their noble responsibilities, morality, and belief in Dawn—although they were actually very reluctant in their hearts.But these words are very nice.

As for the old nobles, they are not as good at talking as the new rich.But what they say is really true—for example, to follow the call of the peasant association/mayor, to do "charity" and to give some "blessings" to future generations—it can be said that these guys take out food, all of which are taken by others. Forced.

But the Sun King was dumbfounded - what is 'charity'?What is "Fu Bao"?

Smoke couldn't help stretching out his big hand, and pulled Moss who wanted to get closer to George.

After feeling a bear paw coming from behind, Duke Moss frowned, but after looking back, he opened his mouth wide: "Mok...Ah no, Grandpa Smoke, what's the matter with you? "

"Grandpa?" The Sun King blinked his eyes, but didn't understand how this happened for a while.

Moss stretched out his thick and long fingers, and pointed to Soraya who was not far away from George: "That's my aunt." Then pointed to George: "That's my uncle."

Then 'Little Bear' Moss pointed to the Sun King: "You are George's uncle—grandpa, what do you want?"

The Sun King couldn't help laughing at the foolish boy Moss - the silly boy Moss looked exactly like his own son.

"You should be called Uncle George." The Sun King corrected.But looking at Moss's stupid look, the Sun King shook his head: "Whatever is that 'charity' and 'blessing'?"

"I, I don't know...it seems to be...",

Moss explained for a long time but failed to explain clearly.But at this time, an upstart with a mustache walked over with a flattering face.

Duke Wenxiang didn't know who Smoke was - he only paid attention to big men like Avali and Frost Prince Moss, and didn't pay much attention to Sun City.
