"Just a few days ago, in the North Square of Yeqi City, dark clouds were billowing in the sky, billows of ink were rolling, and people on the ground were crowded and shoulder to shoulder. Around the square, drums and music were playing in unison, and chants filled the sky. The bell rang at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the residents of Yeqi City It entered the center of the square in a mighty manner.
The first two teams of knights led the way, and the mages cleared the way. Earl Harker led 50 mages, 50 knights, 50 barbarians, 50 clan members, and 50 students into the center.
In the north of the square, the roaring high priest led 50 barbarian priests, 50 orc priests, 50 human priests, 50 dragon priests, and 50 elven priests to sing the praises of the God Emperor.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, I heard a loud noise in the sky, and a golden light suddenly fell. I saw a seraph with golden helmet and golden armor, long golden hair, wearing golden glow, holding a golden sword, and the sound echoed in the center as the angel descended. Recalling His Majesty's Holy Oracle, which is the motto of self-cultivation for knights and mages, at this moment Lord Lant and Lord Agni came to accept His Majesty's gift..."
In the open space in the center of the slave camp, Yu Ling almost performed like a performer, talking in long paragraphs. This form of folk art borrowed from Lant's hometown conquered the entire attention of nearly 800 people.
At the entrance of the tent near the open space, Dutov listened carefully to Yu Ling's entire performance with a very serious expression.
In the eyes of this veteran nobleman, such a chant shows that there must be demon worshipers who specialize in culture in the territory, and that a unique cultural inheritance has been formed in the territory, and the lord Lant can realize the importance of culture to the people of the territory. shaping effect.
The old baron asked the canine tooth next to him with a kind face: "Canine Tooth Knight? The paragraph that Lord Yu Ling just said was also written by Lord Laniya and Lord Little Cardinal?"
"Huh? I really don't know about this part. I was still at the western border that day." Canine Ya could say that he had no idea about this matter. "I guess it was written by the lord himself. The lord has a deep interest in music. In the territory, Several of the songs were written by him himself."
"Oh!" Dutov nodded, his impression of Lant having a completely new look.
In the crowd, Vedo and Nuoya covered the colorful ropes in their hands and stared directly at Yu Ling on the high platform a hundred meters away.
After hearing the part about Lant leading his army to the west, there were two lines of tears on Noya's face. She looked at her companions and asked in a low voice: "Vedo, do you think Lord Lant really received a message from His Majesty the God Emperor?" By the way, can he help me find my parents?"
"Huh? Aren't we his slaves?" The girl named Vedo asked in confusion.
Vedo has been in this camp since she can remember. Although her mother is over 30 years old, she is still recognized as a beautiful woman and a strong mother in the camp. 12-year-old Vedo is her mother's fourth child and the sister of the other five children.
For natural slaves like Vedo, who have lived in the camp for generations, there are only two choices from birth - to be sold, or to stay in the camp and continue to breed new slaves. They are completely different from their masters. biological.
Noah nodded, wiped away his tears, and said with relief: "Oh, yes, my father is also a believer of His Majesty, but our family was still brought here."
The girls did not continue talking, but listened carefully to the new wolf knights who came on stage and began to sing. A dozen of their cars squatted in front of the stage and roared along with the knights' songs.
At the very back of the slaves, Kunbei Helen looked at the lively scene in front of him happily. This senior knight from the imperial capital originally thought that the night in the slave camp would be boring.
Just in the evening, he even found a few good-looking slaves to warm his bed. However, Yu Ling's long mouth just now and Canine Ya's singing on the stage now made him distrust the westernmost territory of the empire. interest.
"Knight Kumbei, what do you think of a night like this?" Knight Dutov walked over and toasted Kumbei Helen with a glass of potion wine.
"Ah ~ Baron Dutov!" Although Kunbei was a playboy from the aristocracy in the imperial capital, he was still very polite to the old knight in front of him. He pointed to the stage in the distance and said, "It's really good, it's a wonderful night. With appetizers, I’m sure you’ll have a good rest.”
"Ha, Knight Kumbe," the old knight said with a smile, "I heard, you have really good taste."
Of course Dutov knew that Kunbei had put 5 or 6 women in his tent, and in the evening, Dogtooth had specifically complained about his behavior.
"oh?"
Just when Kunbei was about to wink at Dutov, he heard him say: "Each of the women you found has at least 7 or 8 children. Among their children are not only half-orcs, but also half-elves and even half-elves. Lizardman, I believe Lord Lant will not mind giving these women and children to you as your subjects after he finds out."
"Ah this..." A chill surged from Kun Bei's heart, and his longing for a beautiful night quickly diminished.
In the central camp, as the last barbarian song ended, 800 people with ropes of different colors entered different areas.
Noah followed all the statisticians to a huge tent. This big tent was not like other tents surrounded by animal skins and canvas. Instead, it had an open roof supported by several pillars. Luminous rune plates were hung on the beams in the room, making the tent extremely bright.
Beside the fire in the center of the big tent, Yu Ling took a few demon-free people and distributed a pamphlet to everyone.
"Your task these two days is very simple. It is to count how many people are in your tent group, what they can do, and what kind of blood they have." Yu Ling said to the 400 people in the entire venue, "Now everyone, open your book. On the first page, take a look and see if you recognize all these words?”
Following Yu Ling's instructions, Noya opened the book and saw that the first page was an explanation page, which explained the requirements and methods of statistics.
The words and sentences on the explanation page are very simple and easy to understand. Looking at the statistics page at the back, except for the name column of the person being counted, which needs to be filled in with words, the rest is done by ticking or filling in numbers.
However, the girl shook her head while flipping through such simple statistical items: there was too much statistical information on it. As a child of a nobleman, Noya had received a good education since she was a child. She also needed to refer to the instruction page to confirm the statistical requirements. I don’t believe that the hundreds of slaves present are all children of nobles.
Yu Ling looked at the blank eyes of everyone below and guessed that these people couldn't understand it all at once, so she pulled over a demonless person and said loudly: "Everyone, take a look. If there is no problem with literacy, I will demonstrate it for everyone." How to conduct an investigation!”
After that, Yu Ling asked the demon-free people around her one by one according to the statistical items in the booklet, and then explained in detail how to fill in the items, and then explained what should be paid attention to when filling in the items.
"Look, do you still have any questions? If you have any, please raise your hands and tell me!" After working through it all, Yu Ling looked at the crowd in front of her expectantly.
"Adults..." a child asked tremblingly, "What is 'gender'?"
"Sir, what is pottery?"
"What does bloodline mean?"
As unbelievably simple questions were asked one after another, Yu Ling's face immediately became uncomfortable.
