Chapter 5 Accepting the Invitation
According to many people, the descendants of the West Wind should have an incomparable hatred for Crancia, who overthrew the aristocratic rule. But in fact, it is not.
It is true that the living conditions of most nobles are not as good as they used to be, but to say that they hate them to the core, it is too much to look at these people. They just lamented that they were not as comfortable as before, and then turned around and sang praises of the new country and the benefits of the new era.
Compared with the general public, the West Wind nobles did not have a strong concept of the country. For them, the country was a place where a group of relatives competed for interests, which was neither sacred nor worthy of gratitude.
The relationship between the monarch and the minister is more like a contractual relationship. On the surface, I submit to you, I will obey the summoning order issued by the kingdom, and I will pay a part of the tax. Then, you better not interfere with other things.
In the early years, there may be spiritual beliefs such as glory and reputation to maintain and restrain the west wind, but in the later period, after these things gradually disappeared, everyone became interested and indifferent. Even when Crancia was rising, most of the nobles thought about protecting themselves, staying in the castle, waiting for the limelight to pass.
As for rebels in other counties and provinces? What does that have to do with me.
This loose system has led to the fact that the West Wind can still be maintained by the extraordinary in peacetime, but once it reaches a large-scale, collective battle, and suppresses the insurgents that are rising everywhere, there is nothing that can be done.
After the rise of Crancia, many people still had illusions in the initial stage, but as more and more people awakened and joined them, most of the nobles gradually became more and more in the face of the boundless sea of people and spears. Realize that times have really changed.
And once this kind of thinking is awakened and popularized, it will be difficult to turn around. When the people of 1999 do not approve of it, the nobles also lose the foundation of their rule. Most of them died in the post-war trial and liquidation. If they are punished, their property will be confiscated and redistributed.
As a result, the descendants of the nobles who experienced successive blows began to seek a way out. And to take refuge in a new country and government, there is no psychological burden for them.
Even under the influence of the mood and spirit of the whole country, working for the country has become an honorable and respected position. At this point, more and more descendants of the West Wind have also left behind those memories of the past and devoted themselves to the construction of the new kingdom.
In the past, they could only gain recognition and fame by virtue of poetry, music, and duels among nobles or the court, but it was always accompanied by a kind of emptiness. But now they are personally involved in some work, and seeing the entire country and various regions, under the influence of themselves and others, slowly change and become better, a more advanced sense of pride and joy spreads in their hearts.
As a result, many descendants of the west wind have become loyal supporters of Crancia, even more fanatical than outsiders.
And these two maids came from such a west-style family, and the more they came into contact with the roots and instructions of the country's change, and watched those adults work hard and think about this country, the more they admired the grand occasion of Crancia today. Even staying in the palace as a maid has become a very honorable thing.
Slowly listening to the two maids describe the life experiences of the descendants of the West Wind, Roland Hill gradually understood why they were allowed to serve as assistants and guards in the palace.
When there is a lack of well-educated personnel, these descendants of the former nobles are used as administrative assistants, which indeed make up for the shortage of manpower. Moreover, with the gradual development, no matter what their previous status is, they will become Crancia's. One member, and since becoming a member of the country, then contributing to the country has become a common and common fact.
"I kept you waiting."
Just when Roland Hill was still talking to the two maids, Pullman came over, followed by the maid just now.
After walking into this elegant pavilion, the maid with the document behind her gestured, and the two sword-wielding maids bowed their heads and retreated. After that, the guards outside the garden also retreated for a distance, leaving a quiet and peaceful space. isolated environment.
After Pullman and Lorraine Hill sat down, the maid stretched out her left hand and drew a few traces in the air, and then a transparent light film rose to protect the pavilion. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice this light film at all, but it can effectively isolate the exposure of sound.
It can be seen that this maid is also extremely skilled.
"Her name is Paris, and she is now my counselor, helping to record and arrange some itineraries and so on." Pullman briefly introduced.
The young woman who resembled the role of the head maid bowed her head to Roland Hill, then exited the pavilion and stood outside the light film.
"It's pretty good."
This maid named Paris has the strength of Sequence 5, and she is quite capable.
After seeing that there was no one else in the pavilion, the two also sat across from the round table and continued to talk.
Today's Loren Hill is still wearing a white dress, but because she was going to enter the palace, she also paid a little attention and put on a black robe.
The black robe has silver embellishments on the hem, collar and cuffs for a slightly refined look. Roland Hill's eyes and part of his face were hidden in the shadow of the hood, which was not so real. Two strands of hair hung down from the hood, giving it a mysterious aura of a girl.
"Now the Southern Frost Rose has sent three legions, about 70,000 people, gathered on the long border line. Although they did not attack immediately, they are also in danger."
Pullman talks about the challenges facing today.
"In addition, there are still many problems to be solved in domestic agriculture, education, construction and other aspects."
"How about the information in the south, do you have the ability to resist?"
Roland Hill remembered the news he heard yesterday, that the Frost Rose Union has begun to dispatch the golem army. In this era, these golems are like the tanks of the past, with solid defenses and ferocious firepower, which cannot be easily resisted by human flesh.
"Currently, we are collecting artillery pieces from all over the country and transferring them to the south, which is relatively reluctant, but the high-level extraordinary is under great pressure. After all, Crancia has been established for too short a time and has not been able to accumulate its own strength."
"What about the descendants of the previous West Wind?" The girl asked curiously, just like the two maids just now, the West Wind should have left a lot of legacy.
"I don't know what the teacher does. Back then, in the comfortable and rotten environment of the West Wind, there were not many people who focused on the Transcendent Sequence. In addition, most of these people were their die-hard loyalists who died in the war. Therefore, although the descendants of the West Wind can be used at present. A lot, but the top tier is always lacking.”
"This is indeed a problem." Roland Hill looked at the teacup in front of him and thought slowly.
"So, can I ask the teacher to stay? If I ask you to guide me, I will bring out a group of talented talents soon."
"Pullman." The girl raised her head and looked at the mature student.
"Your skin is a lot thicker than before. You can easily say such flattering words. Wherever high-level extraordinary people can say it, even myself..." When I thought of myself, I was only Sequence 5, and The student on the opposite side is already in Sequence 7, and the girl suddenly doesn't want to continue talking. She, the master, also wants to save face.
"But I believe that you can do it, teacher, isn't it? In just three months, I was able to step into Sequence 2 with an ordinary talent. Not only that, the ratio of the Rabbit Ears in the Tixilan Mountains to the Extraordinary It is also terrifyingly high, that Iron Knights of the Sun are now all Sequence 3 or above extraordinary people."
"Not only the education of the extraordinary, but also the more important various plans and development directions."
"In order to avoid detours and allow more people to live a prosperous and happy life, Crancia needs your guidance now, Lord Sage of Roland Hill." Pullman finally said that this has been circulating since the founding of the country, The name of a sage that no one has ever seen before, this is also his heartfelt invitation again.
Looking at the man with bright eyes in front of him, his firm belief burning like steel, the silver-haired girl did not answer immediately. She thought that Pullman would keep her again, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and the invitation was issued again only the next day. Did the situation become a little critical recently?
After a long time, she nodded slowly.
"I agree to your invitation."
It seems that this time she is destined to be involved in a vortex of world strife, and at the same time she is a little nervous, there seems to be a stone put down in her heart.
Not only to respond to Pullman's request, but also to repay the trust and following of the knowledge she imparted by the many people of Crancia, but also to see the path of mankind to the stars again.
