Chapter 1227

Dak put down his hands, recalled and continued, "of course, some nobles like to ask their servants to tie their napkins. Especially for the ladies of noble families, it is a kind of decency to let the maid tie a napkin. Recently, however, in upper class society, young men, or male nobles under the age of 30 who have not yet given birth to a son, are popular to tie their own knots. Because this will show their ability and strength, rather than a sick child who has been absent from work and can only be taken care of by others. Only when there is a family and an heir can a middle-aged man be exempted from such gestures and let the servants help fasten napkins. "

Just a napkin can talk for a long time. Seeing that he seemed to be going on, cream frowned a little and said, "OK, OK, thanks for dak's explanation. So, Judas, tell me, can you do the thing of tying a napkin? "

Judas turned blue and stopped talking.

Cream didn't care. Looking back on the prisoners around him, "can any of you tell me that you can't do the noble's action of wearing napkins, which looks very polite and elegant to you? Is your finger broken or not flexible enough? Or are you so stupid that you can't even tie a knot? "

Seeing that all the prisoners around were silent, cream continued after playing a card with a joking attitude: "is there anything else? What else do you think nobles are better than you? What can they do that you can't do? "

Judas still didn't want to give up. He clenched his fist and bit his teeth. After hesitating for a long time, he said again, "there is... Knowledge! Noble lords... They know how to read and write, and they can arrange song and dance dramas! They... They... They look elegant when they talk! "

"Ha! Reading and writing? Interesting. "

Cream simply closed the cards in his hand and said——

"I'll say so. Before joining the mermaid song, I can only write my own name at most. You think it's great that those big people can read and write? Do you want to learn to read and write? We can teach you the mermaid song. "

Culture.

This is something that seems to be completely isolated from ordinary farmers.

After all, for the most ordinary farmers, they don't need to learn to read and write, and they don't need to do any cultural communication.

Farmers live in farmland all their lives. The grass seedlings under the land do not understand human words, and they do not need to write any words for these plants.

For a long time, words seem to belong only to the upper class and are exclusive to the nobility.

But now

Now, this mermaid song even tells these prisoners who used to be farmers that they were willing to teach them the books that were once high and only noble lords could read and understand?

"What are you talking about! Reading... What's the use of reading? What's the use of literacy? It's like I'm driving and he's farming. Why should we learn to read?! And... And... "

Speaking of this, Judas suddenly saw the gel next to him. His heart moved. He immediately stretched out his hand and pulled the child directly over, shouting, "and look at him! His father can read and write. What's the use? His mother is crazy. What's the use of that knowledge when killing his father? "

Cream raised his head and looked at Judas who was still shouting in front of him. After he shouted, he said, "so, do you agree that those nobles can become nobles not because they have culture and can read and write? So you still haven't found out where those noble lords are better than you, right? "

"This... This...!"

For a time, Judas found himself in a mental trap.

He opened his eyes and looked at the cream here with great tension. The expression on his face was full of excitement and tremor. Maybe it's because the prisoner's mind has been set by his life over the past 30 years, but now it seems that all these things are beginning to collapse gradually? There are some very unusual things... Sprouting slowly in these crumbling ruins?

Cream picked up the card in his hand, looked at it and continued, "now, I'll ask you some very simple questions. Why can nobles eat such good things and wear such good clothes without work? If elegant conversation, reading and writing are not the real reasons for becoming aristocrats, what are the real reasons for those aristocrats to become aristocrats? You think those nobles are more senior than US civilians, but they are not only less powerful than us, but also not as good as us in farming, and even not as good as us in making something. Where are they better than us? Why should we worship them? Can you explain these questions? "

Judas's thinking is confused. In fact, he is not alone.

All the prisoners here, listening to such words, had the same chaotic color on their faces.

Where are nobles better than?

Why can nobles eat and drink well without working?

Why can an aristocrat's casual meal compare with the rations of ordinary civilians for a month or even a year?

Why can the children of nobles still be nobles, while their own children can only be civilians?

This idea spread among these prisoners, dotted with a little bit of spark in a dark world.

Of course, cream knows that it is impossible to change all these people's minds at one breath.

However, he did not expect to reach such a high level now. As long as such an idea that had never been before could be planted in these people's hearts like a seed, then it would be enough.

"So, who called you to Pelican city to make trouble? Is that also a noble? "

Still pretending to be careless, cream said slowly, playing the card in his hand.

A prisoner playing cards nearby was stunned and then said, "it's the Lord of our town... Sir Hawthorne. He said... It's all because of your Pelican city problem, so the textile factory where I work closed down... "

Someone opened the mouth, just like a flood dam opened a small breach, and someone immediately followed——

"Lord of your town? We are the village head. Our village head also told us that the reason why the village continued drought and poor harvest in the first half of this year was that the textile industry in Pelican City angered the God of light and punished us... "

"The Lord of our town is Sir Jason, who is a very gentle and friendly noble sir. We came here because Sir Jason said that the mermaid song of Pelican City robbed us of our money, so... "

The prisoners around you said a word to me and a tongue in cheek. Later, everyone let go and began to tell them how they encountered difficulties and how to complain to the leaders of the village or town. Then the leaders asked them to come to Pelican city.

Cream narrowed her eyes and played cards silently, but she wrote down all these words in her heart. To sum up, most of these prisoners are civilians from the two provinces next to the border province. Basically, they are living more and more difficult because of the economic downturn, coupled with the long drought from the second half of last year to the first half of this year, which will lead them to no way out and start attacking Pelican city.

Such a chat atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxed.

While playing cards, cream felt the information of the noble lords who encouraged these prisoners to run to attack Pelican city.

At the end of the card game, cream frowned, threw down the card in his hand with great regret and said, "I'm ripe, I'm losing! This is really bad luck! It's time for me to deliver dinner to you, too. Let's go! "

Then cream patted his legs, got up and walked towards the gate.

Seeing him leave, Brad in the back didn't respond. He just nodded and said, "I'll keep watching.".

However, dak, who always kept a wait-and-see attitude, thought a little, but also got up silently and went out with the cream.

Leaving the warehouse, the cream in front took a cigarette from his arms, took it into his mouth, took out the outlet bag, lit the fire, and took a hard sip.

When he spits out the smoke, dak in the back waved to disperse the smoke and said, "anyway, the raw materials of these cigarettes are also toxic. Sell it to others. You'd better smoke less. "

Cream took out the cigarette in his mouth and looked at it. Then he turned back with a little bitter smile, shook his head helplessly at dak and said, "now I'm in a bad mood. Let me relax first."

With that, he smoked again with a cigarette in his mouth.

Dak left the cream two steps away to avoid the smoke floating on him and said, "what's the matter? Just now, you were fine. Why are you so worried all of a sudden? "

The cream spits out a mouthful of smoke. After thinking about it, he shakes his hand and says, "nothing. I just think I seem to know something amazing."

Looking at the way the cream was now puffing, dak frowned.

In the guild, he didn't know cream very well. In dak's view, the assassin is a complete president and loyal. And it's not loyalty in the general sense, it's Loyalty... It's terrible. If the president asks him to commit suicide the next second, it's estimated that he won't move his eyebrows and immediately pick up the dagger to wipe his neck.

If we can see that the assassin is interested in his own president, it's even better. It belongs to the wanderer who has the heart and the goddess has no intention. Dak can understand his madness. But after more than half a year, I don't think cream is crazy in love with the president.

This almost completely regardless of self dedication loyalty makes dak a little uncomfortable. Among male members, he prefers cheese. Although he will be loyal to the guild, he can still see "rationality" in his style of conduct. Due to the blood clan incident, dak can also understand that cheese is very tough, but his style of conduct is still very consistent and loyal.

No matter how bad it is, Brad or Tesla. A silly man will treat you as long as you treat him well. As long as you give sufficient funds, you can do whatever you want, but it is bound to produce results.

But for the cream, if it was not necessary, dak felt that he had something to do with him.

“……”

"In fact, you don't have to force yourself to talk to me. This will appear very deliberate. "

Cream took a puff of smoke, turned his head and smiled at dak.

When he directly broke his mind, dak's face turned red and couldn't help lowering his head.

Cream continued, "and you don't have to care about human accidents in our guild. You think we will crowd you out. We have plenty of time to chat with you when we are free. Everyone belongs to the kind of person who can't see anyone alone. "

Listening to the comfort of cream, dak suddenly felt that he was really deliberately. He took a deep breath, looked up and said, "so, what on earth did you think of?"

Cream patted himself on the head, spit out smoke with his nose, stretched again and said, "the president asked me to manage these prisoners. First, he wanted to calm their emotions, let them not have riots, and let us stick to the coming of judgment day."

"On the other hand, the president also hopes that after calming their emotions, I can find out who the instigator behind them is."

Dak thought about it, then nodded and said, "if so, you've done a really good job. You have finished these two tasks in one day. Did you write down the names of the people behind it? "

"Write it down..."

"Then what else do you have to worry about?"

"It was because I wrote it down that I frowned."

The cream took another puff of the cigarette, and soon the flame would burn to his lips. He spit out the cigarette residue in his mouth, stamp it out with his foot and said, "I can basically understand what the president wants me to find these so-called behind the scenes. But now our enemy is not alone. They are lords of other cities, mayors, mayors and village heads. They are all dignified figures except the border province. If you really want to say that there are any detailed enemies, there may not be any enemies. After all, our mermaid song can't be against all the Lords and mayors around at the same time, can it? "

Dak listened silently and looked at such a helpless expression of cream.

It took him a long time to say, "so... Do we have no enemies?"

"No, on the contrary, there are many more."

Cream took a deep breath, shook his head and said slowly——

"Although those behind the incitement should not be our enemies, nor can they be our enemies. But if you have to say something... "

"Then those lords, town chiefs and village chiefs... Who gain benefits through this element machine reform and then through commercial activities, and harm the interests of ordinary people while obtaining these benefits, can be regarded as the enemy of Pelican city... Even mermaid song."

At that moment, even dak finally understood what was happening now, and his face also became worse.

Cream rubbed his shoulder and said, "that's why I'm afraid."

"Before that, I thought our enemy was just a guy who wanted to frame us. This guy can be a nobleman or a Lord. To tell the truth, even if the final answer is a military leader with heavy soldiers in his hand, although I will be surprised, worried and nervous, I won't be afraid. "

"But now, the answer I get is not such a very specific goal."

"It's all nobles... It's all people who want to steal money from civilians as long as they have the ability. Some of them are not even aristocrats themselves, but just vassals of aristocrats. "

"Even these so-called behind the scenes people didn't agree in advance to frame our mermaid song. Almost coincidentally, almost instinctively, when these prisoners asked for a statement, they transferred all these problems to our president. And when these robbers began to come all the way, the more heard lords also summarized the problems to us. "

"In other words, we don't have an exact enemy at all. If the president wants to find the black hand behind the scenes through this trial and attack it, it is obvious that the president's idea has gone bankrupt."

"Because... We can't fight everyone. We can't fight the world... I even began to fear that if we really knew the messenger behind these guys, would she go crazy and fight everyone? "

At this point, the voice of cream has completely revealed a trembling of almost despair. He covered his head as if he were drowned in pain, or as if he could not see any light guiding him in the dark wilderness.

Looking at such cream, dak thought and tentatively wanted to stretch out his hand to cover his shoulder, but his arm had just been raised a little, but he finally put it down because of shyness.

"Well... I think what you imagine is really... Too powerful. Although it is said that those nobles are nobles, in other words, our president is also nobles, and even will be mayor soon. "

"If, as you said, the prisoners thought of attacking us because of all kinds of coincidence, they shouldn't be too nervous. Talk to the Lords and I believe the president can make them stop doing so. "
