Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 248 [247] Disturbed
"Your Highness, how did this high wall collapse..."

The four people beside Loboda were also dumbfounded, their mouths were opened wide enough to put down a fist.

Another rumor became reality, and an invisible force slammed into their hearts.

"Laws... Profound Truth..."

Loboda murmured.

There was a contrast in my heart unconsciously.

Because Tadong City is located in the gap between two mountains, with the help of the terrain, a high wall barrier can be erected between the two mountains, and this city wall is actually stronger and taller than the city wall of Panix Capital City.

If the army of judgment goes south, no city will be spared.

"Over there is a sculpture bestowed by our lord's creation, the incarnation of courage—the statue of Kema."

Queztitko pointed aside, "The spirit of Kema has become an apostle under my lord's seat and enjoys eternal glory."

Not far away, a tall bronze statue stands.

A few people walked curiously, and saw that the man seemed to be kneeling, with arrows stuck in his back, and blood dripping down the shaft of the arrow was carved from his back.

In front of the body, every detail is vivid.

Like a living person, it has been magnified several times, and then solidified into a sculpture.

"A miracle!"

"I have never seen such a beautiful sculpture."

"This is a skill that is impossible for the world to master, just like the 'Statue of My Lord's True Body' bestowed by the true God."

In each city-state, there are countless statues of balanced gods, small wooden carvings are taken into the homes of the people, and large wooden carvings are mostly housed in the sacrificial temple.

Therefore, Zhou Li'an's appearance has already been spread in the valley, and everyone knows it.

When several people admired, Queztitko said again: "Sculptures, paintings, songs and music are all the laws of art."

"As long as there is a willingness to learn, everyone can practice various laws, and finally sail to the sea of ​​endless laws and explore the mysteries of the universe."

"What is the universe?" Loboda didn't know how many times he heard new words.

Queztitko smiled and pointed to the sky.

Loboda obviously misunderstood, "Is the universe the true god of balance?"

Queztitko shook his head: "The universe is space, including the earth and planet we live in, and it is also a part of the universe."

"The planets are created by our Lord, and such planets are scattered all over the universe, innumerable."

"However, with the current laws of scientific divine power in the Kingdom of God, it is not enough to enter the realm of the sky, let alone break through the shackles and step into the galaxy!"

"You can understand that flying to the highest sky and stepping into the galaxy we see every night is the universe."

These words completely subverted their cognition.

There were so many doubts that even Loboda didn't know where to start.

Of course, Queztitko understood their feelings, because he was confused for a long time when he learned about these "laws and profound meanings".

But as long as you understand the laws of operation of the planets and the solar system, everything will be accessible.

At this time, there is not enough time to explain all this to a few people.

He took a step back and stretched out his hand to ask: "Come with me, everyone, go wash and change first."

The officials next to the prince were a little embarrassed when they heard this, but they didn't dare to get angry. They just said politely: "Messenger, we rested outside last night, and we have specially changed into new clothes and tidied up our appearance to show our respect to the true god and the envoy... ..."

The implication is, do you think we are dirty?

Queztitko said with a chuckle, "You have misunderstood it. Entering the city to wash and change clothes is a sanitation management regulation."

"Well, it's a bit complicated to explain, but you can roughly understand it as a custom."

From the Tushi Valley in the Tushi Department, the sanitation regulations were established.

In the future, all ministries in North America will be included in the balance, and sanitation will be performed before entering the city, which can be regarded as the simplest disease isolation.

Since the operation of Kema City, it has completed the health inspection of the residents in the city, and strictly abides by the health management methods.

Those who leave the city and bring their relatives back will naturally have to go through the inspection again.

Most of the people in the city were puzzled by this move and found it a bit cumbersome.

But to become a citizen of Balance, of course one must obey orders.

As for the army of judgment...

To be honest, it is impossible for them not to discriminate against the people of these city-state alliances.

Even if the army is running around, everyone loves to be clean.

It has been 14 years since Equilibrium, and the issue of personal hygiene has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Naturally, the people of these city-state alliances are not so particular. Because of the cold weather, they only take a bath once a month or more.

You are welcome to say...

That's right, I think they are dirty.

Queztitko always spoke politely, and Loboda also knew that he was very polite, so he didn't ask any more questions.

They are full of curiosity about everything in the city, and they can observe and understand a little bit.

"Okay, follow the arrangement of the envoy."

After the prince spoke, everyone followed Quiztitko to the half-mountain mansion.

The houses of the nobles in the city have been vacated, half of which have become the residences of the army of judgment, and half have been distributed to the city residents who have no residence.

Migration is imminent, and there is no point in building a house now.

So, they saw many civilians along the way, most of them were in a hurry, but the happy look from the heart was always there.

When they saw Queztitko, they all greeted each other——

"Praise balance."

Queztitko also took the trouble to respond.

The prince and others discussed in private: "What are they going to do?"

"do not know."

"It doesn't look like there are many people in the city. It stands to reason that the tower hole... Oh, no, Kema City has gathered at least 15 people, and there are 4 people from the Judgment Army, which is almost comparable to the capital of Panix."

"I also saw people from the Northland tribe..."

"And this Kema city is far smaller than Wang, but I didn't see many people along the way."

The prince also frowned in thought, but this time he didn't ask any questions, just continued to observe.

Queztitco took them to Tugo House, one of the few aristocratic houses in the city, which has now become the office and residence of the 'Supervision Team'.

At this time, some guards had already boiled water and prepared clean clothes.

The open-air bath in the courtyard was covered with a layer of white mist.

And in the bath, you can overlook everything in the city.

It has to be said that the nobles of the city-state alliance are no worse than the later generations in terms of enjoyment.

Although it is too extravagant for the current balance, there is no need to destroy it, just make the best use of it.

"I won't bother you any more, you can find me in the outer hall after you wash up."

Among the four people, someone said: "We want to take a bath with His Highness? Where is the maid?"

Not far away, the cultivator of the law who led everyone in was directly amused: "Maid? Where is the maid!"

"This is equilibrium, everyone must support themselves!"

"What? Do you need someone to help you take a shower? All right, I'll shave your skin!"

A burst of banter frightened the man to hide behind several people.

Queztitko pressed his hand to ease the atmosphere, and said: "Your Highness, we will entertain you for your basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation when you arrive in Kema, but there will be no one here to serve you."

"If you are the people of Balance, you have to work hard to have food, but you are now guests, which is already the highest courtesy of Balance."

Loboda felt shocked: "Even if you are an envoy, there is no one to serve you?"

Queztitko nodded: "Under the balance, everyone is the people, and among the people, they are all brothers and sisters."

"Would you let your brothers and sisters serve you?"

"Of course, if your wife, your children, are willing to serve your husband and father, this is a personal choice."

"But in equilibrium, the people are all equal."

"My lord has something to say, the strong should protect the weak and give them support and assistance."

"When everyone is healthy and healthy, then such a kingdom of God will be strong and invincible!"

After that, he looked at the sun and said: "You guys have to hurry up, it's lunch time soon, if you miss it, you will be hungry."

Queztitko turned around and left with the people, leaving behind a few people in a daze.

Of course they can't understand all this...

"The people are equal? ​​How is this possible!"

"The sergeant who rides the beast and wears armor obviously respects him, this is dignity!"

"There are also people who greeted him along the way, which one is not because of his status?"

"It is hypocrisy for a servant to act in a position of dominance after gaining authority."

However, Loboda laughed. While taking off his clothes in front of everyone, he said: "There is respect, but... who do you see is humble?"

"The boy who reprimanded you just now, didn't he hold his head high? Did the townspeople along the way kneel down?"

"From now on, you guys remember, read more, talk less, don't forget, where are we now! If it really arouses the wrath of the envoy, you are very clear about the consequences."

The four of them looked at each other, only to realize that they were speechless, and then looked around in fear.

After confirming that no one was there, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But seeing that the prince was already naked, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

When the prince walked into the bath, they could only follow with blushing faces and meet each other frankly.

While bathing, no one spoke.

Each of them was sorting out what they saw and heard when they entered the city, and they all felt that they were in a strange place.

When the water temperature gradually dropped, they gradually came back to their senses and got up to wipe and change their clothes.

however.

at this time.

"Ugh-"

A long horn sounded through the city.

The obese official who had just stepped out of the bath was so frightened that he slipped and fell heavily on the ground, but he still shouted——

"Siege! Someone is attacking the city!"

The rest of the people were also scared out of water, but they still did not forget to help the prince: "Your Highness, quickly, quickly hide!"

Loboda was also surprised, but he couldn't laugh or cry immediately: "We are in Kema City, who else will come to attack the city? City-state alliance?"

Ok?
Everyone froze and looked at each other.

"What is that horn..."

When curious.

Under the valley, there were voices boiling again.

The five people were condescending, overlooking the city.

I saw that outside the broken high wall, a huge crowd of people was entering the city.

When they first saw it, they panicked again, thinking it was a siege.

But after a while, it was discovered that the crowd was walking slowly, each in a group, laughing and talking while moving forward.

Countless people poured into the originally empty big city, and then divided into several groups, heading to several newly built big houses in the valley.

"Look, when are the tables and chairs over there..."

"Those people lined up again, waiting for something in front of the big house."

At this moment.

A voice came from behind them, "Dear guests, are you done washing? The teacher is already waiting."

They turned around and saw the young man, but he was no longer the monk of the law.

The young man said: "My name is De Dege. I follow the Deputy Superintendent to learn the secrets of the law, and I also work together to deal with some trivial matters."

"The cultivator of the law just said that you are unclean and tainted by sin, and he doesn't want to receive you, so he can only let me come."

"Oh, I was originally the guard of this mansion, but I have surrendered to the equilibrium."

After hearing this, several people felt resentful again.

If you say change, just change?

Because they are considered unclean?

The prince ordered several people: "Hurry up and get dressed, remember what I just said, read more and talk less!"

They put on clean underwear and put on the prepared furs, feeling extremely warm.

"This fur coat is much thicker than ours."

Dedege was still waiting not far away, and explained: "This is the buffalo hide of the Northland. It lives in a cold environment, so its fur is thick."

"It was originally prepared by the wives of the leaders of the battle group for their expedition, but it was given to you as a gift for entertaining a few of them."

Loboda said, "Thank those leaders for me."

De Deger should be.

Loboda pointed down the mountain again, "Dedege, what are the people down there doing?"

De Dege said: "It's lunch time, and the sound of the horn just now is the rice horn..."

"Because the people working outside the city couldn't hear the cry, they replaced it with the sound of the horn."

"Put food?" They were puzzled again.

De Dege explained: "Three meals a day in the city are prepared by a special person."

"Didn't you say that there are no waiters in the city? Why do they have someone to serve them when they eat?"

De Dege couldn't help laughing: "That's not the waiter, but the canteen staff."

"In Kema City, the people perform their duties! Those who are good hunters join the hunting team and hunt bison with the army of judgment..."

"Those who are good at labor, go to the dense forests in the mountains to log."

"There are also artisans in the open land outside the city, making tools and utensils."

"Therefore, there are also people who are good at making meals, who are responsible for cooking meals for the whole city."

"In this way, those who are tired from work will have food to eat when the time comes, and everyone has put in their labor."

Several people asked again: "No one thinks it's unfair?"

De Dege asked: "Why do you think it's unfair? The hunting team's harvest has been turned into meals in the cafeteria to supply the people of the city, and the fur has also been made into clothes."

"The lumberjack gets the wood and gives it to the craftsman, and the craftsman builds a house, so that everyone can have a roof, just like the big dining hall..."

"So, the people in the canteen should also cook for the hunting team, artisans, and loggers. Everyone is brothers and sisters, united and friendly."

A whole circular chain left several people silent.

They never thought that the city-state could still operate like this?But if you put yourself in it...

They shook their heads slightly again.

Several people are rich and powerful, so why not work in the fields?
Isn't it beautiful to have a servant who does things for him?

Of course, they dared not confide in such a heartfelt sentiment, they just arranged their appearances and followed Dedege to step out.

Only Loboda fell into deep thought.

He probably understood why God sent down judgment and said they were guilty.

Balanced joy is shared.

And the joy of the city-state alliance belongs to only a few people, and what the few people get is to squeeze the interests of the many people.

Therefore, the rich and powerful can sit back and enjoy the benefits.

But in the process, some of the majority are doomed to starvation and poverty.

There is no need to compare the two, because the city-state alliance has no place to be ashamed in front of the kingdom of God.

Loboda can imagine that if everything here is known to the people of the valley...

The authority of the city-state alliance will be completely shattered!

And when he looked at the four people beside him, he found that they didn't feel anything about it.

There is neither fear nor longing.

He knew that this was deliberately ignored by several people.

Because they are the existing power holders, how can they tolerate the crushing of power?
Likewise, Loboda himself is part of an interest group.

But the problem is, his heart has been messed up.
