Chapter 70 Oath
The elders' meeting is on the third floor of the office building. When Yu Mian entered, the five elders had already changed into black formal attire and were standing at the door waiting.
Although the elders didn't want to see Yu Mian, they also knew that this was the new patriarch elected by all the citizens of the entire tribe, so they could only politely step aside when they saw Yu Mian.
The presbytery is not big, except for five small compartments, a log table is placed in the middle conference hall, a sculpture stands opposite the table, and two large tribal rules hang on the wall.
"That's the patron saint." Jiang Qingyue explained, "Since the end of the world broke out, various tribes, city-states, and federations have begun to invite the patron saint back. Every elected leader needs to take an oath to the patron saint before taking office. "
"This is an oath." The Second Elder reluctantly handed over a note, with strong handwriting that pierced through the back of the paper.
Yu Mian glanced at it twice, and then turned her gaze back to the so-called patron saint statue.
The Patronus is wearing a set of armor and a helmet on his head. He is riding on a horse, holding a spear in one hand, and only showing two sharp eyes.
Although it was just a sculpture, the eyes looked like a real god, examining the person in front of him from top to bottom.
Yu Mian was also examining her.
For some reason, she always felt that this patron saint was too familiar, and her heart beat violently because of it, as if she was going to fly into the statue.
Something flashed through my mind so fast that I couldn't catch it.
-
At the same time, in the interstellar highest prison, the silver-haired man sat upright when the sculpture was shown by the camera.
The shackles on his wrists rattled with his movements, the man clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
The man who restrained his sloppiness narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and looked at the sculpture with all his attention, his whole body was writhing with a solemn murderous aura.
is her.
Absolutely her!
Seeing this, the guard at the side hurried forward: "Sir, do you have any orders?"
"Take me to meet your executive officer." The man folded his hands and fingers, propped his chin, and turned his sharp eyes from the big screen in the live broadcast room to look at the guards, "I can surrender."
Full of oppression.
The guard's scalp was numb, he replied "yes" and left in a hurry.
The cell was quiet again, he looked away and landed on the big screen in the live broadcast room again.
Thousands of years have passed since she died, and all traces of her have been completely erased by someone with a heart. He doesn't understand why he saw her again in this live broadcast room.
But no matter what the reason, he wanted to find her.
-
In the Presbyterian Church.
Facing the statue of the patron saint, Yu Mian raised her right hand high: "I, Yu Mian, the second patriarch of the Xincheng Tribe, hereby solemnly swear: I will always be loyal to the patron saint, the tribe and the people, fulfill the duties of the patriarch, be honest Be faithful to the public, be loyal to your duties, accept the supervision of the patron saint and the tribal people, and strive unremittingly for the beautiful and harmonious future of the Xincheng tribe.”
A small person, standing straight in front of the statue of the patron saint.
Sunlight came in from the window, casting a half-length shadow on the ground.
There are also some baby fat little faces, which add a bit of divinity under the sunlight.
After the oath was over, Yu Mian put down her hands, turned around and asked, "Sister Qingyue, you said you still have something to tell me, what is it?"
"Oh, that's right." Jiang Qingyue came back to his senses, bent down and hugged Yu Mian onto the chair.
The third elder took out a thick stack of documents from the file room, and put them on the log table with a "snap".
Jiang Qingyue took out a folder from it and opened it to Yu Mian: "Two months ago, Guangming City issued a notice that a group of mermaids appeared on the beach recently. A large amount of supplies, also hurt a lot of people."
Yu Mian looked at the photos of the mermaids pointed out by Jiang Qingyue, with human bodies and fish tails, each with an extremely beautiful and deceptively beautiful face, but sitting in the sea of blood piled up with corpses, their faces were full of tears. Blood.
Yu Mian's eyelids twitched immediately:
"So, when the young lady heard that we were going to the beach to get sea water, she insisted on going there with us because she was worried that we would run into a shark?"
"That's right." Xiao Xiao nodded, "You just came to the tribe at that time, if you publicized such things as mermaids, it would cause panic among the residents in the tribe, so I didn't tell you."
"Thank you little sister." Although it has been a long time, Yu Mian is still very grateful to Xiaoxiao when she thinks about it.
[I heard that although the sharks are good-looking, they are very fierce. Not only are they brave and good at fighting in the sea, but they are not inferior on land. 】
[Hiss, Yuren, I just said that the patriarch of this tribe is not so easy to be, and he has to solve such difficult problems as soon as he takes office. No wonder Jiang Qingyue wants to step down. 】
"Sister Qingyue told me this, did she want me to lead everyone to repel the sharks?"
"That's not the case." Jiang Qingyue shook his head, and took out another form from below, with a red fingerprint at the end of each line of the form, "This is the tax our tribe pays to Guangming City, of course, you can also Understand this as a protection fee, only after paying the protection fee, Guangming City will protect the Xincheng tribe."
Guangming City... Yu Mian pursed her lips, and silently recited the name of this city in her heart.
She had a brief understanding before the election that the city-state governs the tribes downwards and is governed by the federation upwards.
The lower level needs to pay the material tax to the higher level, and the higher level should provide timely protection to the lower level.
But she actually still doesn't understand one thing. As a tribe, why Alia of the Big Fish tribe can directly cross the city-state and apply for assistance from the Federation.
"People from Guangming City will arrive the day after tomorrow. Because our tribe is short of supplies, we didn't pay taxes last month. Therefore, according to the regulations of Guangming City, we need to pay four times the material tax this month."
Four times the material tax, Yu Mian looked at the material list to be paid every month, it was [-] energy stones plus [-] tubes of nutritional supplements.
"So there is no supplies in the tribe yet?"
"Don't worry about this." Jiang Qingyue shook his head, "We bought some from the Big Fish Tribe, and the rest can be collected from the material tax paid by the residents of the tribe, and you can just hand it over to them when the time comes."
"But if this is the case, wouldn't the tribe's warehouse be empty?" Yu Mian frowned and raised her own doubts, "It takes at least a month for the crops to grow, so how to solve the problem of distributing supplies to the people during this period of time?" question?"
Jiang Qingyue also fell silent.
Yu Mian was right about this.
Yu Mian raised her eyes and scanned the five elders. The latter all lowered their heads, unable to come up with any countermeasures.
The huge council of elders was suddenly as quiet as a chicken.
Yu Mian looked around, seeing that everyone had no countermeasures, she suddenly broke the silence: "I can come out first."
