Chapter 148: The Beginning of Pioneering

Because of Cervantes' injury, the study group's visit could only end here, although it was a pity, after all, although the 'Grand Duke' spoke as if he was mocking them, he also explained a lot of problems that they were not aware of.

But they're not at the time to relax yet, or rather, they're really busy from now on!

They are 'learners', not porters, and they are here to learn the advanced knowledge here, not to simply bring the knowledge back to Lolandal.

To put it mildly, they may be the managers of Lorandal in the future, after all, judging from the current trend, this is indeed very likely.

Although Grush has left, he is looking for the 'justice' in his heart, and even the 'Lord' has allowed him to leave the church, where do they have a reason to say.

If Grush's 'justice' is to spread 'justice', then their 'justice' is to change the bloated Lolandal, and thus the entire empire!

But the influence of the clergy alone was not enough, so they also had to learn how to build a school, learn how to make paper and printing, learn how to write teaching materials, and cultivate more like-minded people, so that they could change the vast empire.

If some of the students they educate can keep their original intentions, over time, even if it takes a hundred or two years, they will be able to change the decaying empire.

Before they came here from Lolandal, they thought it should be similar to Moro, a prosperous but drunken place.

When they arrived, they were disappointed to find that it was a dilapidated country town.

But when they officially set foot on the ground, they were surprised to find that the 'dilapidated' surface of this city, which they thought was like a small country town, contained incomparable wisdom, and the degree of sophistication was even unimaginable.

That's when they find it a little hard to accept!

They came from Lolandal, and Lolandal has always been the best city in their minds, although there is also a black market in Lolandal, and there are slave traders, but it seems normal to them, because the whole world - the whole world of Assatom - is like this!

First of all, the city is bustling, but the streets are so clean and tidy that they don't even see much dirt on the ground when they pass through the city.

Secondly, the city's laws were 'very perfect'—'advanced' for the clergy, but the civil servants of the town hall always said 'relatively perfect' when they spoke of the law, and they also said that it was told to them by the 'chief maid'.

The Lolandal people have the pride of the Lolandals, they once thought that Lolandal was the most orderly city in the world of Assatom, a pure land in this world, and they used to feel 'proud' of this, but what they saw and heard in Wende City ruthlessly shattered their former pride, and even trampled on it one by one.

When Grush left, they came to their senses.

It dawned on them that they had nothing to be proud of, and that in front of Windcity, Lolandal's proud 'order' and 'law' were simply a weed, and there was no comparison at all with this 'towering tree'.

The world is unfair, and Grush has gone for 'justice', but for these young clergymen, it is precisely because the world is unjust that 'order' and 'law' are needed more.

The strength of personal strength cannot represent everything, and this is also something they only learned after they came to the Sorrowful Wind Leader.

Everyone here is like a cog in a huge machine, even the powerful knights and the Grand Duke of the Black Dragon, living under a not too harsh but just right order, with 'relatively perfect laws', under such an order, there is no even need to worry about war, even if someone deliberately instigates it, it is difficult to cause a riot here.

There was a lot of confidence in the lord and the army of the domain, and the lord was extremely responsible to the people, and such a 'united one' territory had never been seen in the empire at least.

It was hard for them to imagine how many lords would be able to resist when such a territory launched a war against the outside world.

However, this is also the last thing to worry about, because the head maid had promised not to take the initiative to start a war except for the exploration of the Black Forest, and with the credibility of the head maid, she should not break her oath.

However, there was also something that they could have imagined that the head maid would forbid the slave trade in his territory, and no one had complained about it except the slave traders!

It was not a ban on slave hunting, but a total ban on the slave trade, whether it was a slave trader or a buyer of slaves, even the nobility.

They were able to own slaves, but only existing slaves, and were not allowed to buy them, as it was not permissible to buy or sell slaves.

Although the priests also admired the head maid because she was really powerful, they really couldn't figure out what she was doing with this play.

If there were no slaves, wouldn't there be enough labor? The nobles owned a lot of land, and if slaves were not allowed to be sold, who would work on the land that had been carved out? Wasn't the chief maid going to canonize a new nobleman?

It stands to reason that since the Windswept Territory was about to become a principality on its own, and had also opened up the Black Forest, it should have been canonized as a new noble, right? Why would the chief maid include a ban on the slave trade in law at such a time?

Who should reclaim the wasteland that has been carved out?

If they had asked the maid this question to their face, she would have said:

"Cultivated by the poor!"

Facing the Knight of Kyle, who returned to Wende City for the first time, the maid said: "The power of the nobles is still too great, and although I have tried my best to suppress them, in some places, they still go against the law, even if the new nobles are canonized to fight against these old nobles, it is only a stopgap measure. As long as it is a noble, it will definitely be corrupted, and eventually the old and new nobles will be in cahoots, so I don't plan to canonize new nobles!"

Knight Kyle looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, he has a serious appearance and does not smile when facing the maid.

When the maid was looking at him, he was also looking at the woman in front of him, who was full of confidence and intellectual charm.

Both of them had heard of each other's names and knew each other's existence, but this was also the first time they had met.

"Serena Maid Chief, I hope you can explain a little clearly, I personally don't care about the status of a nobleman, but when the news of the independence of the Sadwind Leader reached the ears of those young men in the army, they were very excited to discuss whether they could become nobles......

Knight Kyle said straight to the point, his meaning was already clear, if this news reached the army, then the mood of the soldiers would definitely be very low, because she had no intention of canonizing the new nobles at all, and she could represent all the wishes of their lords!

"I know, but what if they are very good in themselves, and their descendants are very ***? You should also know what those noble children are like, and to say that they are wasting food is to exalt them! The knights are so overprotective of the nobles of the Grim Wind that they now have the audacity to disobey me and Seth's orders. ”

Hearing this, Knight Kyle raised his eyebrows, "Just because of this?"

"Of course not. The maid shook her head, "After the founding of the country, I will issue a decree that 'after becoming a nobleman, nobles who have not performed well within three generations will be demoted', if only because the children of the nobility are incompetent, this decree will be enough to change them." What I hope is that in the future, there will be no nobles in the Duchy of Sorrow, and everyone's honor will only belong to themselves, only from themselves and their parents, only in this way, the Principality of Sadness will become stronger and stronger! ”

“...... My concern is how I explain to the boys in the army. Knight Kyle said.

The maid looked directly into Knight Kyle's oppressive flat eyes and said, "A good soldier will receive medals and awards, maybe land, maybe money, but never a knighthood!"

Knight Kyle was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes, "I see, but what about the 'slave trade'?

"I can't get everybody's wish, but I want at least everyone in the realm to have food and clothing, and every child to get a good education - everyone has a chance to live!" said the maid firmly, "Next, I will organize the Sadwind Leader, not only Wende City, but the entire poor class of the Sadwind Territory to reclaim the wasteland." They don't have anything, but I'll lend farm tools, lease land, and if they're willing to work hard, then they'll not be impoverished anymore! ”

Facing the sincere head maid, Knight Kyle suddenly put his legs together, stood up straight, tapped his right hand on his chest, and lowered his proud head.

"I'm at your service, Master Maid!"
