Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 201 [200] Do you believe in light?
The South Road of Hill City is the trade market in the city.

On weekdays, before the sun is bright, there are lively shouts.

Items brought by each tribe can be exchanged here.

But today, with the sun rising in the east, there was no one in the entire trading market.

Only in the hut at the corner of the South Road, there was faint laughter——

"Hahaha."

"Lauratok is over! I knew that the true god has come to the world and sent judgment on the evil, and they cannot escape."

"Hush." ​​Another panicked reminder came from the room, "Lame snake, keep your voice down! If you are heard by Rarotok, he will kill you, and you will leave us and me alone." Is the child lonely?"

The man named "The Lame Snake" was confident, "The Lame Snake? Who is the Lame Snake? I am not the Lame Snake!"

"My leg was broken by Rarotok, that's why people call me crippled! I was the fastest 'helper' on the 'South Road'! From the beginning to the end of the road, just boil a cup of cocoa With the effort of water, you can negotiate a business for a business traveler."

"It's all Rarotok's fault, he's damned!"

The man's voice was already crazy, and he pushed open the door, limped and stood on the street, dancing and shouting to both sides——

"Come out!"

"Stop hiding!"

"You all heard last night that Rarotok was captured by the army of judgment under the command of the true god!"

"He's finished, haha, he's finished!"

He vented his anger heartily, crying and laughing.

And the streets were still empty.

Only the houses on both sides of the road are noisy——

"Is the lame snake crazy? How dare he yell like that!"

"He's not crazy! Late last night, didn't we hear Laurotok's cry for help and begging for mercy? And the walking of the armored sergeant!"

"But the elder sister of 'Laorotoke' is the third wife of the city lord, how could the city lord ignore him?"

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from the end of the South Road.

The people in the dwelling suddenly became tense——

"Shh, don't make a sound!"

"It's the army of judgment! They're coming for the lame snake!"

at the same time.

The middle-aged cripple on the street also heard the movement, but he was not afraid, or in other words, he had already lost his mind due to fear.

He shouted, "God, God, judge the sinner! They are guilty, they are guilty!"

"Lauratok is the sinner!"

At this time, the lame snake's wife was about to suffocate, and wept silently, looking at her mad husband, anxious and sad.

She wanted to call him back, but when the words came to her lips, there was only a weak murmur, "Stop making trouble, come back quickly, come back!"

However, a red team has come in front of the lame snake.

A boy came out from behind.

His voice is still very immature, with some hoarse voice, but he pretends to be a majestic tone——

"What's your name?"

The lame snake finally panicked, "I am called a lame snake... no, I am not called a lame snake, I am..."

The boy frowned and interrupted him, "Speak slowly, I'm not very proficient in your language yet!"

Only then did the lame snake gradually calm down, while looking at the boy...

Children of this age are just walking out of the house and following their parents' generation.

Either learn to work in the nearest workshop, or travel with a caravan.

As a fledgling, he always likes to act mature, but in fact, his male duck voice will reveal his age.

Like this young man, the more majestic he pretends to be, the more his immaturity will be betrayed by the traces of imitation.

The lame snake is the best at observing words and expressions, so even if one of his legs is lame, he is still the best "broker" on the South Road——

Get paid for brokering deals between two tribes or merchant groups.

The most important thing to do in this line of work is to understand the ways of the world and welcome and send.

Therefore, even though he felt that the young man was too immature, he quickly adjusted his emotions and hurriedly bowed down——

"Envoy of God, you, just call me Lame Snake."

"As you can see, I'm a cripple!"

"Ten years ago, Laotok became the chief guard of the South Road. He borrowed his power to ask for benefits from us 'helpers'."

"Because I didn't want to, he led someone to beat me, and broke one of my legs, so that I could no longer be a 'helper'."

"But I still survived. Although I broke a leg, I still helped them contact trade matters with the best eloquence in the whole hill city."

"But from then on, I have to give a part of the dividends I earn every day to Rarotok."

"Ten years, a whole ten years, if he didn't squeeze me for these ten years, I would have saved enough to buy a hotel!"

The young man listened quietly, and when he was halfway through, he took out a pen and paper and began to record.

He is the law monk who has to be recruited into the new army, so he is indeed not very old.

But that majesty was not pretended.

Before joining the new army, he was already a teacher at the No. 5 Dacheng Balanced Branch School, and he was considered to be the group of children who learned the rules earlier.

Because of this, he was valued by "The Third Law of the Kingdom of God, Dzogchen", and was added as a member of the "Supervision Team".

When the lame snake finished speaking, he also stopped writing.

"I have recorded your confession!"

"But other than that, I would like to ask you, are you willing to testify against 'Lauratok' on the spot? In front of the two presiding judges and the 'supervisor'."

"And the lord of the city, Weihutel, will also be present."

"Judge, inspector...wait, do you still want to face the city lord?" The lame snake finally panicked.

Following the repetition just now, he calmed down, the madness has faded, and he regained his sanity.

Now I have regrets...

"No, no, Laotoke's elder sister is the third wife of the Santo, if I testify against him, the Santo will kill me!"

The young man suddenly laughed, "City Lord... Your Excellency?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention that your Lord City Lord is also in the process of being judged, and... he is a serious crime, and now the results of the crimes collected by the supervisor can be sentenced to death!"

"Of course, if you have the crime of 'Verhuter', you can also testify!"

"If the evidence is convincing, the 'supervision team' will compensate you accordingly based on the crime committed by the person who has harmed you."

After some words fell.

The lame snake man was so stupid that he couldn't believe his ears, "City, city, the Lord of the city, will you be judged too?"

The young man's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded lightly.

And at this moment.

The lame snake suddenly realized...

The boy's serious appearance doesn't seem to be pretending, it's his appearance that's immature, but his soul has a maturity far beyond that of an adult.

Moreover, this is an envoy of God!
When referring to 'Verhuter', he behaved as nonchalantly as if he were talking about a wild dog on the street.

"belch--"

Because of the fright, his breath was disordered and he hiccupped unceasingly.

"An envoy, then, what about Rarotok? He broke my leg, and I will get compensation?"

"Oh, no! More importantly, the wealth he stole from me over the years! It's worth at least one hotel!"

The young man was not impatient, he observed the entire South Road while listening.

According to Queztitco's son, Truffani.

The Nandao business district is the main source of income for the city lord, and the minions of the city lord oppress the merchants in the south road. While collecting money for the city lord, they also fill their own pockets.

If it is to obtain the fruit of crime, here is the key point.

There are almost no people who have not experienced bullying in a southern road.

But now...

In the empty trading block, there is only one lame man.

The precept of 'supervision' appeared in the young man's heart——

"Even Quiztitko, who walked with me for most of the day, was also immersed in falsehood and dared not expose the truth."

"People in the world are ignorant, just like the tribes in the north back then, they don't know that there is a true god descending in the world."

"I need to let them know that my army of judgment is here not only to judge sinners, but also to redeem them!"

"It is necessary to make everyone see the benevolence of balance, and make them get close to the true God of our Lord, so they will cast their faith in balance."

Thinking of this.

The young man's voice became louder and spread in this silent street, "If someone can prove it, the supervisor will have a trial, and it may not be able to make up for all your losses, but you must know..."

"Anyone who commits a crime will be judged for his crime!"

"Including your city lord, Vihutel!"

The street was still silent.

But the houses in the houses on both sides are already boiling.

"The city lord is about to be judged?"

"how can that be?"

"What kind of city lord, Weihutel is a beast! He ordered the warrior captain to come to recruit soldiers, and after my younger brother was taken away, he became a slave of the nobles of other big cities. I didn't know all this until he sent a message!"

"Lauratok is the minion of Verhuter, they are a nest of snakes and rats!"

Also at this time.

The lame snake on the street shouted again, "Did you hear that?"

"My lord, ah, no, Weihutel, Weihutel will also be judged!"

"Old cobbler, what are you waiting for, come out! Come with me to testify against the angels."

"Did you forget? Rarotok insulted your daughter, and that's why she ran away from home and died at the mouth of wolves."

"Maotu, don't you often complain to me that Rarotok always takes away half of your dividends? He almost blinded your eyes, otherwise you would be called a one-eyed rabbit like me! "

"and also……"

Under this call.

There was finally movement from the houses on both sides of the street.

The door of the room was concealed, revealing half a face in the shadow of the room.

Pairs of hesitant and struggling eyes stared at the cripple outside.

at last……

A man in his [-]s or [-]s came out. His face was already old, and he was considered an old man in the city.

His eyes were red and full of anger, but when he came to the lame snake, he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to the boy——

"Apostle of God, I would like to testify against Rarotok. I am a cobbler from the South Dao; he defiled my daughter, but did not want to win her, causing my poor 'pearl' to die!"

squeak-

Another door opened, and the young man stepped out.

His left eye was gray and white, which made people feel frightened at first glance, "Master of God, my eye was injured by Rarotok, and now I can only see things vaguely."

People kept coming out of the houses.

Witnessing this scene, the juvenile inspector couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

"Everyone has opened the door of their hearts and is stepping towards equilibrium!"

The crowd grew, repeating the crimes of Narautok and Verhuter.

The young man could not record, so he shouted: "Anyone who is willing to testify against the criminal should line up and follow us to the central square."

"The inspector will judge those who committed serious crimes in the witness of the whole city."

"You must remember this moment, this is the way of redemption given to you by Kinkou!"

The people shouted, "Praise the true god, praise the balance! Praise you, fair... handsome angel."

The screen gradually drifts away.

When it comes to being pretty, the women in the assembled crowd chuckle.

The juvenile inspector had never seen such a scene.

He hasn't reached his bar mitzvah yet.

When he blushed, he immediately turned around, "Follow me and judge the sinner!"

The residents of Nandao echoed all the calls and shouted together——

"Judge the sinner!"

"Judge the sinner!"

The silent empty city suddenly boiled.

And everywhere in the city, similar scenes are happening.

Thousands of people flocked to the center of the urban area, which was originally a square for sacrifices, and the forbidden place for crimes that once encountered the "God's Punishment Thunder" is no longer a taboo, but looks sacred.

Zhou Weiguo stood on the stage.

He didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, he was extremely excited because of the gathering of thousands of people.

The people of the hill city who gathered saw the city lord and others who were tied to wooden stakes in a panic.

A sound of abuse will no longer be hidden.

Bullshit came over at this moment, "It's hard to control the scene, it would be great if there was a "sonic artifact" created by our lord."

The microphone sound is no stranger to the two of them.

Every time the Kingdom of God celebrates, it needs to ignite the generator and connect the line.

The perfect combination of science and theocracy.

You can try to avoid religious self-justification, and interpret everything scientifically.

Zhou Weiguo said: "There will be. After the trial and dispute, the agricultural development will be stable. As Xiaohua said, the Kingdom of God will enter the fast lane of industrial development."

"All cities in the south will be brought into balance, and then they will be like the 'Hall of Light and Shadow', and every big city will be connected to the 'Hall of Sound Wave'."

When the two looked forward.

Mountain climbing is coming.

When he had to listen to the trial, he was worried about the turmoil. After leaving the manor, the manor of the city lord, he summoned 3000 cavalry outside the city to enter the city.

The sound of heavy horseshoes came, instantly making the field silent.

The citizens of Hill City, who were excited a moment ago, felt the pressure of the trial again, so they panicked.

But this is precisely the control of order.

Bullshit saw that the time was almost up, "It's time to start!"

Zhou Weiguo nodded, but instead of stepping forward, he walked to the side and shouted, "Quiztitko, come up."

The old man who had stopped under the stage was a little at a loss.

Seeing Zhou Weiguo's affirmative gaze again, he finally stepped on.

Zhou Weiguo said: "You only need to state Weihuter's charges!"

"All the people must know the crime he committed."

The old man nodded heavily and stood in the middle of the high platform.

His appearance also attracted everyone's attention.

"I... I am Queztitko!"

"You should know me, I am the lord of the city... a servant of Vehutel!"

"But it's all false!"

"Do you know that more than [-] years ago, my father was the employer of the largest caravan in the city, and he was also my father. He brought prosperity to the hill city, and sold the cocoa beans here to the city-state power in the valley. .”

"However, Verhuter's father framed him with a conspiracy! My parents were killed on charges of imposition, they took everything from the caravan, and forced me to serve them as a slave at the knees of my enemies .”

"I had already accepted my fate, and I only wanted to live in pain and protect the safety of my family and children; but just last night..."

"He, Weihutel, felt guilty because of the arrival of the envoy, and stretched out his killing hand to me!"

"But it was also last night..."

"I, Queztitko, saw the light in the polar night..."

"It was the light that dispelled all the gloom, and made me see hope and joy again!"

"The only true God in the world, the Lord of Equilibrium, ordered His apostles to throw the feather of salvation to me, and save me from the hands of killing!"

"So, at this moment, at this moment..."

"We gathered together to issue a brave reprimand and judgment to this evil person!!"

"This is the salvation and glory bestowed upon us by Kinkou!"

"I ask you, people of Hill City—"

"Do you believe in light? Do you believe in... equilibrium?"

offstage.

Thousands of people were silent, but those pairs of eyes couldn't help jumping.

It was the first ray of sunlight in the morning, leaning over the eaves, and falling on the top of Quiztitko's skull, creating a halo.

"I believe! From today, I swear an oath to believe in Him and worship Him at all times; listen to His precepts; I am willing to serve Him and dedicate everything to Him!"

"Praise His will to judge, so that all sins can be baptized and purified!"

"Please join me in calling His name!!"

"--balanced!!"
