Several young men and women walk in the white stone buildings, walking slowly. Some talk with each other, some point to the statues and ask who is the saint.
"Oh, this is the white flower Saint durlan." Hessen wiped the sweat from the heat and pointed to the white statue standing in the fountain in front of him.
The saint wore a close fitting and graceful dress and held a special sword in her hand.
The handle, body and armguard of the long sword form a straight cross shape, and then there is a vertical circle on the armguard, which encircles the handle and body. This circle has complex patterns, such as vine branches and leaves.
Durlan, holding this special holy sword, plunges into the ground, and then the water gushes out from the junction of the sword and the ground to form a small fountain.
"It is said that in the chaos and disaster, the saint led the local people to build the city in a short month, and then inserted her sword into the earth to attract clear springs and solve the water problem, thus saving hundreds of thousands of people. Later, she was also canonized. After the end of the war, she left behind an extraordinary faction, the brandy cross sword, which should still be found in Vilga. " Hayson explains the statue.
"It's rare for women to be canonized." Polly curiously looks at the small stone tablet below, which records the age of her birth and death.
"Is the brandy cross sword still handed down? I'll go and have a look when I'm free."
"Well..." hayson thought back.
"In which city..." he couldn't remember for a moment.
"It used to be in Hopland, Prynne cross." Next to her, Rochelle walks slowly and stands with Polly, looking at the stone below.
"That's what it used to be. Now." Another girl also came, she asked curiously.
"It should be on your side. It is said that most of the members of Prynne's Cross sword went to frost rose a few years ago after the Hopland incident." Lorraine Hill continued.
"Well, I don't know much about it at ordinary times. When I was a child, I preferred to play around." Jessica touched her chin.
After that, they looked at other statues one after another, and then made a pilgrimage to the direction of the holy song palace.
Tall shade, a small church came to sing ethereal songs.
There are few pedestrians around. They are very quiet. Only the occasional cicadas on the treetops remind us of the current season.
The seven people in Lorraine Hill didn't visit the church because it would disturb others. They just sat on the benches and rocks outside and listened to the chants inside.
The nuns and friars in the choir are not too old. Their childlike voices sing without accompaniment. They feel pure and holy.
"Be calm, go your own way, be magnanimous and compassionate."
"Living in the capital, holy and solemn, empty valley and orchid."
"My saint is immortal. He acts as if nothing has happened. He is gracious and inviolable."
The bytes are short sentences of the same length. When singing, the scale rises with the melody, which has a huge and solemn sacredness.
In this way, a few people sat quietly in the shade, blowing the summer wind, listening to this remote and sacred poetry.
"Although I don't understand the meaning of the lyrics, I always feel that people are quiet“
After listening, they continued to walk on the mountain road and talk to each other.
"Maybe this is the effect of the hymn. Sometimes the lyrics don't matter. What matters is the sense of sanctity."
Several people came to the other side of the mountain.
At this time, they were faced with a magnificent scene.
The setting sun reflects the sky and slowly falls into the horizon. The purple clouds at dusk are layer upon layer in the sky, and the light golden sun falls on the vast slope under the mountain.
Because of the cold climate here, trees are scarce, most of the ground is gravel, soil, green weeds and so on. And this huge slope stretching thousands of square meters is now reflected 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 the dry smell comes from the air.
"There is such a beautiful place around the holy mountain. I didn't know it before." A few people sighed a little.
"I'm afraid you've been to this place before, but it was soon overlooked." Crow said with a smile.
"In fact, it's usually very sparse here. If it's cloudy, the huge slope below is gray and not beautiful."
"It only presents a good view at a certain time."
"How could that be?"
Hessen and others sigh a few words, and then sit here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, until the sun gradually sank to the earth, and then leave.
"Holy flame palace is not far from here. Let's have dinner there."
We want to go to the southern mountain according to the predetermined route.
As the group approached, the noise became louder and louder. A group of priests in plain white robes were gathering together and walking along the road. With their shouting, a large group of people were interested in following behind. In this way, the number of people was increasing and the momentum was gradually increasing, and they came face to face with Lorraine hill and others on the road.
"Sibes manipulated the promotion and deployment, persecuted poor clergymen, and committed a heinous crime!"
"A shameless villain is not worthy to be an archbishop or a scepter priest."
"Dismiss! Let the adjudicator interrogate him! "
In the face of this huge crowd, the seven had to stay away from the road just like the friars and nuns on the side of the road. They stood on the side of the road and watched them walk by.
"Is this a protest?" Polly asked in a low voice.
"Should be, but at this juncture..." crow said half did not say, but his meaning you probably know.
"Come on, it doesn't matter to us. We are still students of ermenas. We'd better not get involved in this kind of thing." Hessen said on one side, slowly waiting for these people to leave, with a few people continue to move forward, to a restaurant under the flame palace to sit down.
The space in the restaurant is not big. They are on the second floor, sitting in a side seat.
At this time, the sky has been completely dark, and the indoor walls have been replaced with burning wall lamps. The flame burns quietly in the windshield tube, emitting a bright yellow color.
While waiting for the meal, several people heard other guests around talking curiously.
"Where did those priests come from just now? They were so bold and directly insulted the scepter priests of ten sword palace."
"I'm not sure about the specific process, but I've heard that most of these priests are from small places. Because of the arrangement of the church, they have been serving as priests in remote and poor places for more than ten years, and they have not been promoted or deployed, so they have accumulated a lot of grievances."
"Then why do you scold HIBIS for such a thing? He seems to ignore it."
"He doesn't care, but his students and friends are in charge. It's said that many bishops in rich areas belong to the Siberian school. They take care of each other and have great influence. That's the reason for the public anger."
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Just as Lorraine hill and others were idly looking out of the window at the night scene, a restaurant attendant finally served dinner tonight.
The red ochre stone pot is still bubbling, and the soup is still boiling, emitting a tempting fragrance. Inside is yellow, green, red three color small pieces, including meat, vegetables, roots and so on, color collocation is very good.
"This is the unique way of doing things in the holy flame palace." One student said so, then picked up the wooden spoon, scooped out part of it and gave it to each partner.
"It is said that it was invented by some priests in remote areas in the early years. Because at that time, chaos disaster had just passed, and many places were short of food. They would cut into pieces the prey they had hit, the plant roots and fruits they had dug out, and then put them in for cooking. But I don't want to find several good taste combinations after more times, and then it has been handed down“
"This kind of stone pot was also used because there was no sufficient iron ware at that time, so we had to use local materials. This restaurant also retained its original style." Like a connoisseur, Hessen explained that the tall and strong student seemed to know more about food.
"It sounds very historical." Jellica picked up the spoon and some of them couldn't wait to taste it.
"It's better to be cold for a while. This one is very hot." The crow, who usually has a cold expression, will care about people now.
"Well, all right." Jessica put down her spoon and looked out of the window again. It was night.
In the mountains at night, the long dragon composed of torches spreads up the mountain road. Even if you sit in the restaurant here, you can hear the echo of the cry on the opposite side of the mountain.
"I didn't expect to start shouting slogans here." Jessica sighed.
"Is frost rose very common over there?" The silver haired girl sitting beside her asked curiously.
"Yes, in recent years, there have been many new things and new systems coming from ruerna. At first, the local people didn't understand them. Originally, the local big families also rejected them. Later, they used to pull banners on the streets and organize people to shout slogans."
"The main idea is the fairness and democracy of rights, which can not be controlled by the local stubborn conservatives. After a long time, everyone will be gradually encouraged. Then the senior officials of frost United will implement the new policy, and the resistance will be much less. In this way, the rights of the local big families will be gradually taken over."
"Originally, the local big family was the big chamber of Commerce, and the surrounding residents would work in the chamber of Commerce. They were all villagers, and they were very united. Now, with the resumption of power, frost Union began to dismember these big chambers of Commerce, and gradually incorporated them into the official organization. "
"Such a large organization performs its own duties, and there is much less competition." When Jessica said this, she didn't look so relaxed.
"Isn't that a good thing? In this way, a lot of internal friction can be avoided." Crow carrying a cup of sake, casually said.
"But... There will be some worries, so that many ordinary people have no other choice when facing such a powerful behemoth. And so
"In this way, there is a monopoly." Added Lorraine hill with a sigh.
On the surface, frost rose also has so-called democracy, but this kind of "democracy" only serves the powerful side, that is, the powerful people.
The whole country is like a huge company, whose purpose is to make profits for the top (mages, rich families, etc.), and then to expand its strength, actively spread around, annex Xuehua seven countries, and finally fight against cangcui.
It seems like the right choice, but it's all based on the huge sacrifice at the bottom. Because like a company, when you can no longer provide value (labor, battle, wealth) for it, you will be abandoned by it. They will not provide for the aged or get some so-called minimum benefits.
Because the structure of power is that the higher the extraordinary strength, the more wealth people have, the higher their voting rights. However, the voting rights of the poor people without extraordinary strength are very low. Naturally, their interests and even their rebellion need not be considered in the proposal of Parliament, because there is no such strength.
The people at the bottom are just like firewood. After burning the best years, they will be abandoned like rubbish.
However, under the slogan of frost rose alliance, such 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 Divided social status by blood and extraordinary strength, noble or not.
Frost rose divides social status and power by wealth and extraordinary strength.
The latter is an imitation of the former, so it is very similar.
This kind of behavior, if placed among the distant civilizations of the earth, may have been replaced by new social forms, and the emergence of extraordinary sequence has led to a great gap between people, and this concept has become more and more stable.
And the more extraordinary countries are, the more obvious the situation is. Although the church's explicit view is that all people are equal, it is actually influenced by objective laws and ideological trends.
Since frost rose and clancia were founded one after another, the social structure, rights and other topics that were not paid attention to have been hotly discussed these years. People in other places may not be able to speak much because of the lack of information, low level of education, but in churches where people are literate and proficient in history and classics, the ideas of all parties become lively and intense.
We often discuss with each other, and then they are divided into several groups.
After more and more information of frost rose was introduced into the holy land, 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 ordinary people.
And the main group of people who agree with the theory of hierarchical society is concentrated in the Archbishop of sibes.
As for the head of Otis of the order of the holy spear, he agrees with the view that those who have made great contributions are superior to those who have not. This is their view.
Although lorenthal felt that she might be inclined to the equality of all people, she kept silent in fact or because there was no strong argument.
The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building.
Lorraine Hill sighed in his heart, looking at the scene of confrontation and noise between the two sides on the opposite mountain, and then a group of horsemen came from the other side of the mountain road. They were well-trained, armed with torches and swords, and they were the well-known holy spear knights on the mainland for a long time.
"Silence! Silence
The Knights used torches to drive the two sides, separating the two groups. Then a knight on a high horse, wearing dark gold and silver armor, came slowly, and the scene gradually quieted down.
