Chapter 547 Voice of Protest

Several young men and women walked among the buildings carved in white stone, walking slowly, some talking to each other, and some pointing to the statues and asking which saint it was.

"Huh, this is the White Flower Saint Duran." Heisen wiped the sweat from the heat and pointed to the white statue standing in the fountain in front of him.

The saint was wearing a close-fitting and graceful dress and held a specially-made long sword in her hand.

The hilt, body, and guard of the long sword form a straight cross shape, and then there is an upright circle on the guard, which partially surrounds the hilt and the body of the sword. This circle has complex patterns, like vine branches and leaves.

Duran held this special holy sword and inserted it into the ground, and then the water spewed out from the junction of the sword and the ground, forming a small fountain.

"It is said that this saintess led the local people to build a city in just one month during the disaster of chaos, and then inserted the sword into the earth to attract clear springs and solve the problem of water, thus saving hundreds of thousands of people. Later Because of this, she was consecrated, and after the war, she also left behind an extraordinary faction, the Prynne Cross Sword, which should still be found in Vergar today." Heisen explained the statue.

"There are very few women canonized." Bolly looked curiously at the small stone tablet below, which recorded the time of her birth and death.

"Then is the Bailan Cross Sword still being passed down? I'll take a look when I have time."

"Well..." Heisen thought back.

"Which city did you come from..." He couldn't remember for a while.

"It used to be in Hopelander, Bailan's Cross Sword." Rochelle next to him walked slowly, stood with Bolly, and looked at the stone tablet below.

"Is this the past? What about now?" Another girl came over and asked curiously.

"It should be on your side. It is said that in the Hopelander Incident a few years ago, most of the members of Bailan's Cross Sword went to the Frost Rose." Roland Hill continued.

"Well, I don't know much about it. When I was young, I preferred to play around." Jelica touched her chin.

Afterwards, the group looked at other statues one after another, and then walked in the direction of the Palace of Songs.

Among the tall trees, a chanting singing came from a small church.

There are few pedestrians around and it is very quiet, only the occasional chirping of cicadas from the treetops reminds the current season.

The 7 people from Lorraine Hill did not enter the church to visit, because it would disturb others and it would be very awkward. They sat on the rows of chairs and rocks outside, listening to the chants inside.

The nuns and monks in the choir are not too old, and the innocent voice sings without accompaniment, which has a pure and sacred feeling.

"Calm and poised, doing my own way, gracious, and compassionate."

"Living in the capital city, holy and solemn, empty valley and secluded orchid."

"My sage is immortal, walks without incident, is gracious and inviolable!"

The bytes in it are all short sentences with the same length. When singing, the scales climb with the tune, which has a vast and solemn sacredness.

In this way, several people sat quietly under the shade of the tree, blowing the summer wind, listening to this distant and sacred poem.

"Although I don't quite understand the meaning of the lyrics, I always feel that people are quiet when I listen to it."

After they finished listening, they continued to walk on the mountain road, talking to each other.

"Maybe that's what the hymn is trying to achieve. Sometimes the lyrics don't matter, it's the sanctity of silence that matters."

Several people talked and came to the other side of the mountain.

At this time, what unfolded before them was a magnificent view.

The setting sun illuminated the sky and slowly fell into the horizon. The sunset purple clouds were dipped in layers on the horizon, and the pale golden sunlight fell on the vast slopes under the mountain peaks.

Due to the cold climate and few trees, most of the ground is gravel, soil, green weeds and the like. And this huge slope of thousands of square meters is now illuminated by the setting sun, and the golden and sparse light fills every corner of the line of sight.

The world is clear and beautiful, the grass trembles slightly in the evening wind and light, and there is a pleasant dry smell in the air.

"There is such a beautiful place around the holy mountain, why didn't I know it before." Several people sighed slightly.

"I'm afraid you have been to this place before, but you quickly ignored it." Crow said with a smile.

"Actually, this place is very sparse and ordinary. If it is cloudy, the huge slope below will be gray and white, and it is not beautiful."

"It only shows a good view at certain times."

"Is that so?"

Heisen and the others sighed with emotion, then sat here to enjoy the beautiful scenery for a while, and then they left until the sun gradually sank into the earth.

"Holy Flame Palace is not far from here, let's go there for dinner."

Everyone wanted to go to the southern peaks according to the previously scheduled route.

As the group slowly approached, a loud noise gradually became louder. A group of priests in simple white robes were gathering and walking between the roads. With their shouts, a large group of people followed behind with interest. , In this way, the number of people is increasing, and the momentum is gradually increasing, and they are heading towards Roland Hill and others on the road.

"Sibes manipulates promotion and allocation, persecutes poor priests, it is a heinous crime!"

"Shameless villain, not worthy of being an archbishop and a priest of the scepter."

"Removal! Let the Judgment Division interrogate him!"

In the face of this mighty crowd, the seven had no choice but to avoid for the time being, just like the monks and nuns on the roadside, and stand on the road.

side, watching them go by.

"Is this a protest?" Bolly asked in a low voice.

"It should be, but at this juncture..." Crow didn't say anything halfway, but everyone probably knew what he meant.

"Forget it, it's none of our business. We are still Emenas' students. It's best not to get involved in this kind of thing." Heisen said aside, and slowly waited for these people to pass by, and continued with a few others. Go forward and sit down at a restaurant under the Holy Flame Palace.

The space in the restaurant is not too big, they are on the second floor, sitting in a position to the side.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the indoor walls were also replaced with burning wall lamps. The flames burned quietly in the windshield tube, emitting a bright yellow color.

While waiting for the meal, several people heard curious talk from other guests around.

"Where did those priests come from just now? They were so bold and directly insulted the scepter priests of the Ten Swords Palace."

"I don't know the specific process, but I heard that most of these pastors are from small places. Because of the arrangement of the church, they have been pastors in remote and poor places for more than ten years, but they have not been promoted or deployed, so there is a backlog. A lot of resentment."

"Then why do you scold Sibis for such a thing? He doesn't seem to care about it."

"He doesn't care, but his students and friends care. It is said that many bishops in wealthy areas belong to the Sibis faction. They take care of each other and have great power. This is the reason for the anger."

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting."

Just as Roland Hill and the others were looking at the night view outside the window, a waiter in the restaurant finally served tonight's dinner.

There were still bubbles in the red ochre-colored stone pot, and the soup in it was still boiling, exuding a seductive fragrance. Inside are small pieces of yellow, green and red, including meat, vegetables, roots, etc. The color matching is very good.

"This is the more distinctive practice of the Holy Flame Palace." A student said this, then picked up a wooden spoon, scooped out some of it, and distributed it to each companion.

"It is said that it was invented by priests in remote areas in the early years. Because the chaotic disaster had just passed, and many places were short of food, they would cut the prey, dug up plant roots, fruits, etc., and put them into pieces to cook together. .But I don't want to find a few combinations that taste very good after a lot of times, and then it has been passed down."

"This kind of stone pot is also used because there was no sufficient iron at that time, so we could only use local materials. This restaurant also retains the original style." Heisen explained like a taster. The tall and strong student seemed to be tall and strong. Very knowledgeable about eating.

"It sounds very historical." Jelica picked up the spoon and couldn't wait to taste it.

"It's better to be cold for a while, this is very hot." Crow, who usually has a cold expression, will now care about people.

"Hey, okay." Jelica put down the spoon for a while, and looked at the night view outside the window.

In the mountains at night, the long dragon formed by torches spreads up the mountain road. Even if you are sitting in the restaurant here, you can hear the echo of the shouting across the mountain.

"I didn't expect to start shouting slogans here." Jelica sighed.

"Is it common in Frost Rose?" the silver-haired girl sitting beside her asked curiously.

"Yes, in the past few years, a lot of new things and some new systems have come from Rourna. At first, the local people didn't understand it, and the big local families were also very repelled. Later, they were in the Banners were pulled up on the streets, organizers shouted slogans, etc."

"The general idea is that rights are just and democratic, and cannot be held in the hands of the local stubborn old-fashioned factions. After a long time, everyone will gradually be agitated. Then the high-level officials of the Frost and Frost United will implement new policies, and the resistance will be much less. In this way Gradually, the rights of the local big family were taken away.”

"Originally, the local big family was the big chamber of commerce, and the surrounding residents would also work in the chamber of commerce. They were all villagers, and they were very united. Now that the rights are taken back, the Frost and Frost Union has begun to dismember these big chambers of commerce, and gradually merged into the official organization. middle."

"In this way, large organizations perform their own duties, and the competition is much less." When Jelica said this, her expression was not as relaxed as before.

"Isn't this a good thing, in this way, a lot of internal friction can be avoided." Crow said casually with a glass of sake.

"But... I'm still a little worried. As a result, many ordinary people have no other choice when facing such a powerful behemoth. And so..."

"In this way, a monopoly is formed." Roland Hill sighed and added.

Although Frost Rose also has so-called democracy on the surface, this "democracy" only serves the powerful, that is, the powerful.

The whole country is like a huge company, the purpose is to make profits for the high-level (mages, giants, etc.), and then use this to expand its strength, actively spread around, annex the seven countries of Xuehua, and finally confront Cangcui.

It seems to be the right choice, but it is all based on the huge sacrifice at the bottom. Because similar to a company, when you can no longer provide it with value (labor, battle, wealth), you will be abandoned by it. They won't be able to retire or get some so-called guaranteed benefits.

Because the structure of rights is that the higher the extraordinary strength and the more wealth, the higher the voting rights, while the poor and lowly people who do not have extraordinary strength have very low voting rights. Its rebellion, because it doesn't have that strength.

The people at the bottom are like firewood. After burning the best years, they will be abandoned like garbage.

However, under the propaganda slogan of Frost Rose United, this kind of behavior is not wrong, but correct and great. People believe that it is because they are not good enough that they lead to misfortune.

The Green Empire divides its social status by bloodline and extraordinary strength, whether it is noble or not.

Frost Rose divides social status and power by wealth and extraordinary strength.

The latter is an imitation of the former, and therefore very similar.

If such behavior is placed in the distant earth civilization, it may have been replaced by a new social form, and the emergence of the extraordinary sequence has caused the actual gap between people to become extremely large, and this concept has become more and more stable.

And the more extraordinary the country is, the more obvious this situation is. Although the obvious point of view in the church is that everyone is equal, in fact, it cannot escape the influence of objective laws and ideological trends.

Since the establishment of Frost Rose and Crancia, the social structure and rights topics that were not paid attention to have been discussed intensely in recent years. People in other places may have been blocked from information, their education level is not high, and they speak less, but in churches where everyone is literate and proficient in history and classics, the ideas of all parties are lively and fierce.

Everyone discussed with each other from time to time, and later they were divided into several factions.

After more and more information of Frost Rose was introduced into the Sanctuary, many priests gradually agreed. They claimed to be the representatives of angels in the world, and they had extraordinary power, that is, they were higher than those of ordinary people.

The main group of people who agree with the theory of hierarchical society is concentrated in the faction of the Archbishop of Sibes.

As for the head of Odis, the Knights of the Holy Lance, he is more in favor of the view that the meritorious is superior. No matter who they are, as long as they have merits, they are higher than those who have no merits at all. This is the view of their faction. .

And Benes has never made a statement. Although Roland Hill feels that she may be inclined to equality for everyone, she has remained silent in practice or because there is no strong argument.

The mountain and rain are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Roland Hill sighed in his heart, watching the confrontation and noisy scene between the two sides on the opposite mountain, and then a group of knights on horses came from the other side of the mountain road. They were armed with torches and long swords. It is the long-known Holy Spear Knights on the mainland.

"Silence! Silence!"

The group of knights drove the two sides with torches, separating the two groups of people. Then a knight riding on a tall horse and wearing armor engraved with dark gold and silver came slowly, and the scene gradually became quiet.
