Morning in the Tower of Swords

It was at this time that the villagers all set their sights on the Kuranta girl who appeared first, Ke Luoer, the current village head of Shuidi Village. The reason why she can be the village head is because she is the ancient Descendants of knights.

It's just that time has changed, and no one knows why Ke Luoer didn't occupy a place in the noble knight class of Casimir, but lived in such a wilderness village.

If anyone has the most authority to dispose of this knight's treasure, even Kasimir's Procuratorate can only be ranked behind Coral, because this is her ancestral tomb after all.

"Respected Lord Knight, I, I am the village head of Water Drop Village, Ke Luoer, and I am also the orthodox heir to the knight's treasure. Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to take care of our small village, but, but, I It should be a higher priority to decide how to dispose of these treasures, right?"

The village chief is also an official, but Luoer's tone seems a bit weak. Perhaps it is the first time she has seen a "real" knight, and it is said that he is also a champion knight who is famous as a great knight leader.

In fact, in terms of status and class, Laure and Maria are almost the same, they are both non-knight descendants of orthodox knights, but Maria is trying to revive the family by becoming a knight in her own way, while Laure is I don't miss the identity of a knight at all.

In the plot of Knights and Hunters, she even took the initiative to "digging her ancestral grave" to repair the damage caused by bounty hunters for Shuidi Village. The weight of the village is heavy.

"Of course, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability to deal with it. Do you know why I came to you here? Because a group of bounty hunters targeted you just now, trying to catch you and torture you to find out the location of the knight's treasure. I think they only did this because you are the village chief, and they don't know that you are the heir to the knight's treasure."

"Although I have already eliminated all these people, as long as the rumor of the knight's treasure is still here for a day, Shuidi Village will never be peaceful. Do you have the ability to protect yourself?"

Qiao Ge's words really frightened Ke Luoer. No matter how much she puts Shuidi Village first in her heart, she would still feel terrified when she heard that someone directly pointed the target of persecution at her. After all, she was only a young girl.

"Those bastards, how dare they be so unscrupulous in Shuidi Village!!?"

The old people in the village were suddenly filled with righteous indignation, even holding a pitchfork in their hands, ready to fight the bounty hunters to the death.

Don't underestimate these villagers. Except for a few joint cities like the Great Knights, there are large areas of Casimir that belong to "undeveloped areas". To put it bluntly, they are still remnants of the feudal system, but There is no noble lord who came to collect their agricultural taxes.

Because the aristocrats found that instead of squeezing these serfs, deducting grain taxes and first-night rights, it is better to go to the big knight to buy some securities and stocks to lie down and make money comfortably. Are there any beautiful girls in the city?And also know a lot of "lifestyle".

This is not better than a country girl who can carry a tree with strong strength, put three sticks on the bed but can't catch a breath, and might have to turn around and ask, "Has the lord come in?" ?

But relatively, without the jurisdiction of the nobles, there is also no protection from the army, so whenever they are attacked by wild animals or robbed by robbers, the villagers of Shuidi Village have to repel them by themselves, and A knight attendant can also be regarded as a knight apprentice, and some martial arts will be passed down no matter what.

But Qiao Ge is not optimistic about them at all, not to say that they look down on the fighting power of the countrymen, but that they are too far behind compared to the bounty hunters. The weapons and equipment and the combat concept are completely for the medieval knights who are not armored. WWII soldier.

Moreover, these bounty hunters are just the first wave, and there will be a steady stream of treasure hunters coming in the future, even powerful integration cadres like Big Bob and his team. Could it be possible to explode soldiers?

So Qiao Ge ignored these troubled villagers, and just turned his calm eyes to the dilemma Ke Luoer. The meaning of this expression is obvious. Since she is the village head, she should have the ability and responsibility of the village head. The future of Shuidi Village Whether they can survive or not depends on Ke Luoer's decision.

"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet! Only relying on violence to control violence will not solve the problem. We can't maintain combat readiness all the time. Everyone still yearns for a peaceful life, doesn't it?"

In the end, Luoer made a decision after thinking about it, and immediately appeased the excited villagers of Shuidi Village, then turned around and bowed solemnly to Jogo.

"Master Knight, since you specifically told me about the bounty hunter, there must be a way to solve it, please give me your advice."

"There is no special way. First of all, we must properly dispose of the knight's treasure. If it can be moved away, some historians should evaluate it to see if it is worth setting up a protection area. However, this is not enough. Because even if we emptied the treasure and released the news, the bounty hunters would not believe it."

"Then the next step is to use violence to control violence..."

But Luo Er froze for a moment when she heard this. She said just now that it is useless to control violence with violence, and Qiao Ge specially smiled at her, showing a meaningful expression.

"I am going to build a training base here to train qualified fighters. It will be their compulsory course and daily job to repel the outsiders who plot against Shuidi Village, so Shuidrop Village no longer has to worry about foreign invasion, and at the same time can help you maintain security……"

"...But perhaps more importantly to you, I will sign a large number of logistics orders with Shuidi Village. It can also provide other procurement items, of course it is the same, I say that, as the village head, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Qiao Ge looked at Ke Luoer quite expectantly, but only saw her panicked and flustered, he quickly lowered his head and nervously rubbed the corner of the skirt with his fingers, as if he was suddenly called by the head teacher to stand up to answer the question student.

"Eh? Eh! Hold on, I'm sorry, Master Knight, this... I just succeeded my father as the village head not long ago, can I trouble you to explain a little bit?"

"This shows that you still need more political experience, sufficient armed forces, and a healthy trade relationship. This is the origin of a town in the wasteland era. It means that as long as you agree with me, it may not take long before you can get The letter of development authorization from the Casimir Supervisory Institute, I will also call you the mayor, or even the mayor in the future, Miss Keluoer."

Jogo was a little disappointed with Korol, but after thinking about it, he couldn't expect a young girl living in a small mountain village to have much ability with the so-called blood of a knight. Everything was cultivated, at least She is still young and has many opportunities to learn, especially in the future under the care of Rhodes Island.

Although there is also that kind of knight blood that is particularly useful, such as the Sun Fist of a certain golden retriever pony...I mean Shengguang, even if he lacks combat experience, he can still overthrow a lot of careless people with a burst seed that doesn't talk about martial arts Master.

As for Jogo's plan, of course, he wants to place here the infected people rescued from Casimir's major companies, mines, and prisons, and even "turned over to the light" from the integration movement. The discrimination of infected people is too deep-rooted, and it is better to operate in this kind of countryside.

With strong financial resources and force, this place will become a new city that is actually controlled by Rhodes Island and revolves around the medical industry of the infected. It is also a possibility to explore the way out of the infected.

Moreover, this city can become a bridgehead against Ursus externally, and export precious Rhode Island medicines to Casimir internally. With these two conditions, no matter how reluctant Casimir is to have Rhode Island in their home Inserting a nail, I'm afraid I can only pinch my nose to recognize it.

"This, can this really work?! Don't we need to do anything?"

But Luoer said in disbelief that she had never heard of such a good thing, but the elderly villagers behind her all showed undisguised expressions of suspicion, but Jogo didn't care about them at all, anyway, as long as the identity of the knight was moved Come out, they will be obedient.

As for why he had to explain it to Coral in particular, it was of course because she had to use her past family identity to obtain Casimir's land reclamation permit. Even the dead knights were still knights, and they were more important than Rhodes Island, an outside organization. name.

"You have the knight's treasure, don't you? Later I will find someone to draw up a contract for you, which will draw up detailed terms on the distribution of the knight's treasure. In short, you can leave items that have historical origins with your family , and other ordinary properties will be collected by me as a start-up fund, but in the end these will still flow back to Shuidi Village.”

It’s okay to put Qiao Ge’s words elsewhere. The historical relics are left to the original owner, and he only takes “ordinary” knight gold coins. But the problem is... How long is the history of Casimir?

So far, the entire Terra era is only 1096 years in total, and Casimir is even shorter, and the cultural relics left by an ancient noble knight are some weapons and armor from more than 200 years ago, and perhaps a family crest some type of.

According to Casimir's current style of liking the new and disliking the old, these things are not worth much at all, and only some hardcore collectors will buy them.

Unless it is the relics and tombs of the last era, such as Rutland's weapon technology, Kelsey's Mon3tr, and even the entire mobile base of Rhodes Island, are all "archaeologically" from the relics.

But if you insist on saying that Luoer is at a loss?It depends on her awareness. Compared with the situation in the original plot where only a part was used to repair the village buildings, directly donating an entire knight's treasure in exchange for the long-term development of Water Drop Village is definitely a profit for all villagers in Water Drop Village. I wake up laughing until I dream.

Even from Ke Luoer's personal point of view, she also got the chance to rise from a small village head to become the mayor and mayor of the town, didn't she?

In the end, Ke Luoer still felt that she couldn't make this decision by herself, so she turned to look at the other villagers, especially the older ones.

But even though they are several rounds older than Korol, they still live in this village all their lives. You ask them where to collect firewood in winter, and how to perfectly skin their prey without leaving arrow marks, but you have to ask them Should I be the mayor of this...

It can only be said that Ceobe was asking Aqua a third-year high school college entrance examination math question.

"Everyone...you, what do you think?"

Sure enough, when Ke Luoer asked, she only got a group of stares with wide eyelids, and then looked at each other, no one knew how to answer.

What's more, this is related to the fate of the entire village. If something goes wrong, the old partner next to him can't pick up a hoe and kill himself?

"Well, but Luo Er, you are our village head. When the old guys recognized you, they had already handed over the whole village to you, and the knight's treasure should be decided by you. Nothing could be worse than being run amok by a group of bounty hunters in the village."

But Luoer pursed her lips after listening to the villager's answer, then faced Qiao Ge again, and said her own answer.

"Master Knight, although I am indeed inclined to agree with your proposal, and I don't miss the knight's treasure, because although the knight's treasure is there, Water Drop Village has never relied on it, and it doesn't make any difference even if it is lost. .”

"However, it's too hasty now. There are many details that I can't even understand what's going on. Could you please...give me a little more confidence?"

Qiao Ge was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, as if he didn't expect Ke Luoer to speak like this at all, and then he laughed.

"Hehe, hahaha, I get it, you want that extra one percent confidence, right? No problem, as I said just now, my plan is to directly counter violence with violence, although it sounds very Shallow, but that's because other people are shallow when they do it themselves."

"But I'm different. Believe me, the person who will immediately take the champion knight into your arms. Before signing the contract with you, I will give these bounty hunters a satisfactory ending. Afterwards, we will discuss How you felt at that time."

"Oh, yes, I forgot to introduce myself. Although my title is the knight of the wrist, I actually have a more common code name, which is from Rhodes Island..."

"Brother-in-law!!"

Maria's loud shout happened to interrupt Jhogo's self-introduction, and he got stuck in an extremely delicate position by the way.

"...Maria!!"

"Come on, brother-in-law, I'm here! Huh? Why is your face so dark, brother-in-law, did you accidentally touch soot just now?"

At this moment, Qiao Taro really wanted to hit this silly little girl with a hammer on the head of the platinum star, but he couldn't, because she was his own pony, half of the doctor's ass.

"Ah! Ah! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The fan named Jeffrey just now suddenly started yelling again with a blushing face, which really shocked the unprepared Maria, but Jogo didn't find it strange at all.

You must know that before he began to massacre the newspapers with headlines such as "Prince Kjerag's Close Friend in the Dressing Room" and "The Temptation of Linguang Sisters to Go Home", the newspapers had always been Maria's attention. The highest degree, maybe Jeffrey also had such a youthful memory of an ignorant teenager.

It was only when he saw the indomitable and standing muscles of the wrist man that he suddenly realized, what are women?It is useless except to make people mentally decadent and physically weak!Men should be men...

What to do!

So how to say that sentence, mild fitness attracts the opposite sex, and excessive fitness attracts bilibili. Cheers.

It wasn't until Jeffrey's father couldn't stand it any longer, he directly twisted the back of his hand and fell to the ground in a seasoned manner, and then tied it up and took this embarrassing thing home, and now he finally calmed down.

"Maria, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you and Li to keep an eye on the movements of the people around here?"

Although Maria does not have the professional Pegasus vision like Platinum, she is still Kuranta's mythical Pegasus. Her eyesight is at least much better than that of ordinary telescopes, so Dr. Qiao arranged the task in this way.

Get tasks other than driving and repairing cars.

"I'm keeping an eye on it because there's an emergency. A group of incredible people are here. They're members of the Competitive Knights Association!"

Jogo frowned slightly, but he still didn't understand the point of what Maria said. The Competitive Cavaliers Association in Casimir is equivalent to the Colombian Basketball Players Union. He has the right to speak, even if the right to speak is inspired by capital behind his back.

If the capital of the Business Federation is the head teacher, then the Knights Association is the head teacher appointed by the head teacher.

Although it was unexpected that members of the Knights Association appeared in Shuidi Village at this time, is there any need to make such a fuss?We are people who even have to give face to the Chamber of Commerce!

However, when Maria pulled Jogo to the observation post with Korol in the mist behind him, he used the Platinum Star to get his eyes to see the real situation in front of him. Sure enough, the point of the problem was not the Knights Association. , but in the infected.

That's right, judging from the armament and tools carried by these "knights", they also came to find the knight's treasure. Maybe it was because the game was stopped by a punch, so they were idle when they beat Ifrit on a rainy day So, the Cavaliers Association simply asked the people under it to have an "outdoor activity".

But what attracts the most attention is the two almost identical tall figures walking at the front of the crowd. They are wearing jet-black knight armor similar in style to the left-handed knight, but they do not have the small trademark advertisements of the left-handed knight. It is a series of broken chains hanging, and almost ghostly ghostly masks and decorative details.

It doesn't look like a Casimir knight, but closer to the mythical ghosts of the Eastern Kingdom wearing western knight armor.

In fact, they did have horns on their heads, and one of them grew on the left, and the other grew on the right two horns. With Jogo's current experience and eyesight, it can be seen that they are not ghosts, let alone Cassie. Mir's common Kuranta, but Sarkaz.

Even, still infected.

"Who are they? Are there any of these two guys in the information we collected about infected people in Kasimir?"

Hearing Jogo's inquiry, Maria could only shake her head blankly. After all, she had only just joined Rhodes Island, and she couldn't tell what was the most important information for combat, let alone Maria I thought they were here to hunt for treasure, who would bring a list of infected people when looking for treasure?

Fortunately, Li jumped off a rock at this time and answered the question almost without thinking.

"They are the two strongest infected who were enslaved by the Knights' Association, a pair of twin Sarkaz knights, with the titles 'Corruption' and 'Wither'. Damaged, cruel temperament, but once the public opinion questions it, they will argue that it is the symptom caused by the origin stone infection."

After listening to Li's narration, Dr. Qiao's face was buried in a haze. The behavior of some other countries sending infected people into mines to work as coolies is indeed terrible, but what is hidden in this majestic Casimir , even more terrifying than coolie inferiors.

The lords in many areas don't treat infected people too much. What they are afraid of is that they will give up on themselves and want to be human bombs. It can be said that in such a feudal area, it can be regarded as reaching the minimum standard of being a human being.

And being treated as an experimental "animal" in this way, you have to "willingly" become their thugs after the end, isn't this more terrifying than feudalism?

So the difference between feudalism and capital's treatment of "inferior people" is that one deliberately divides the living space, but it is only dismissed by the middle and upper classes, at least they can still live well on their own.

The other is to forcibly stuff the inferior people into the gears of capital, but does not give them the corresponding living space at all, and is completely regarded as a consumable tool for free prostitution. When it's over, go straight to the next one.

The changes in the situation of black slaves before and after the American Civil War almost perfectly illustrate this point. In the southern United States, although black slaves are inferior people, they are protected by slave manor owners because they are important property of slave owners. Just like the horses and cows at home, not only can't they be abused, but they have to be fed and slept well before they can work.

Some older female black slaves were even given a high degree of trust by the slave owner's family, and became close family members with the status of a housekeeper. Even the master's children had to obey her discipline. Later, many blacks wearing turbans on food labels in the United States The portraits of aunts are some black housekeepers in the south.

Once the scene switched to the north and won the war, a large number of southern black slaves were "liberated" and went to the factories in the north, where they were squeezed to death with the lowest wages and the least rest time. If they died, they would recruit another one. , Anyway, there is no need to spend money to buy out.

So rather than saying that the Civil War was about the liberation of black slaves, it is better to say that the capital system wanted to snatch cheap and irresponsible labor from slavery.
