Transcendent Noble
Chapter 255
In the third month of the Fire Season, the construction of the castle led by Randal has come to an end, but there are still thousands of people busy on the construction site.
Alda is one of them. This thirty-something brawny man is carrying a rattan basket full of pebbles, climbing upwards along the spiral treads on the edge of the tower. The scorching sun shone on his sweat-covered back, and underneath his bronze skin was one after another knotted muscles, which looked extremely strong and strong. The two-hundred-pound basket seemed insignificant to Arda. After a while, he boarded the tower.
The tower of the castle is an important part of the security facilities and needs to be reinforced very carefully. The walls of the tower are composed of three layers. The inner and outer walls are made of ashlar, and are covered with Randal collar special mortar, so they are very strong. The space between the inner and outer walls is filled with pebbles, gravel and mortar. These materials need to be delivered by workers little by little.
Transporting building materials to the tower is not something anyone can do.
The tower is more than forty meters above the ground. People who stand on it and look down will have weak hands and feet, let alone carrying heavy objects on the pedals. The person who does this job must not only be strong but also courageous and cautious. Nevertheless, there are always people who stumble and die when building a castle tower. Therefore, Avada earns 14 copper sols a day, twice that of ordinary workers.
Arda has repaired many castle towers. Only the Randal Family has the lowest wages, but he doesn't complain at all. The Supervisor of the Randal Family ordered a three-layer block on the periphery of the tower. Even if someone accidentally fell, they would be caught by the block. As long as they were not hit by a heavy object on their shoulders, they could always save their lives. Moreover, the Randal Family pays very high pensions, but no one has received this life-saving money yet.
The three-layer block doubles the courage of the workers. Every time Arvada sees this protective measure, his heart is always warm.
The afterglow of the setting sun pulled the castle out of an oblique shadow. When it was time to get off work, Arda and the workers in the same group lined up to receive today's wages.
He weighed Copper Sol in his hand, and Arda said to a worker beside him: "Kerry, I invite you to have a good meal." After that, Arda said to the others. The famous companion greeted: "Everyone, come together."
"Avada, you won't invite us to eat sweet potato porridge, right?" The man named Kaili rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Why do you want to have a share of pork head meat?"
"Okay!" Arvada gritted his teeth and said: "Just eat pork head meat."
Kai Li licked Lips, said with a smile "Then go to the goat hotel. Their pork head meat is the most abundant and the price is cheap."
A few other freelancers looked at each other in blank dismay, They and Arda have traveled north and south for more than ten years, sleeping together, eating together and keeping warm, knowing each other, just like biological brothers. They knew that Alda's conditions were not good. There were two women in the family, four children had to feed, and they were reluctant to spend even a copper Thor. Today, how could he suddenly ask Carey, a miser who loves to take advantage of him, to eat pig's head meat?
"Alda has a treat today, what are you still doing in a daze?".
Kai Li zi zi turned his head to greet, the employees suppressed the doubts in their hearts and quickly followed along.
The castle is only close to the town of Hekou. After walking about 800 meters along the iron oak fence, everyone reached the suspension bridge at the southern gate of the town.
On the suspension bridge, two guards meticulously inspected everyone’s wooden token.
Land of Randal is different from other territories. The lord here allows freelance hired workers to live in the village, but every hired worker has to show his wooden token to the guard to enter the village.
Alda’s wooden token is only the size of the palm of a hand, with a triangle engraved on the front and two sets of numbers engraved on the back, 4 and 49, representing No. 49 in Flatlake Town 4. This is actually the residence of the Arda family in Flatlake Town.
For the freelance workers in Randal, everyone will have such a wooden token, which is called the residence permit by the steward of the Randal Family. With the residence permit, free citizens can be employed by the Randal Family.
It is not easy for a free citizen to obtain a residence permit from Randal.
Half a year ago, Arvada and three partners brought their families and led Randal from Beria to earn a living. The guards at the border post asked them in detail about their identity, skills, and purpose of coming. After checking the items they carried, the short blade used by Avada's self-protection was confiscated, but the guards did not take them for nothing, but discounted 20 pieces. Silver Thor to him. The guard told Arda that the weapons could be redeemed when they left Randal.
Despite strict scrutiny, Alda’s partner, Alvin, was still denied permission because he was a bachelor, and the guards of the Randal Family family banned bachelors from entering.
The rule at the time was this. A family can give a bachelor a guarantee, but if he is not honest in Randal, the sponsoring family will also be driven away. In the end, Alda's family was the guarantor before Alvin was allowed to enter.
After the guards were released, the Arda entire group did not go directly to Flatlake Town, but was taken to a temporary camp set up by the church. The church attendants in charge of the camp set aside a small area for Arda and the others to rest, bathe, check their bodies, treat their injuries, and provide free food and medicine. On the 3rd day, the manager of the Randal Family family explained to all freemen the scope of work of hired workers, including farming, pig raising, grazing, building castles and roads, weaving, digging canals, etc., as well as the corresponding remuneration. Those who disagree can receive a two-day ration and return on the same route, while those who agree are taken to Hekou Town for resettlement by the supervisor.
Afterwards, Arda learned that the temporary camp was funded by Lord Randal. In addition to helping the church to relieve the refugees, the camp was also an isolation measure to prevent outsiders from spreading the disease.
Entering Hekou Town, the manager of the Randal Family family arranged a residence for the Arda family. Because Alvin was a bachelor, he was arranged to live in a barracks. When Arvada saw the blue brick house allocated to him, he was shocked. He restlessly stated to the master steward that he had no money to pay the rent. The steward told Alda that the residence is free, but cooking is not allowed. Food can be purchased in the cafeteria in Flatlake Town. Then they gave each of them a wooden token, which is a residence permit.
"Master Angus, Good day. Master Gast, Good day."
Kerry greeted greetly while passing the wooden token to the guards. After checking the wooden token, the guard moved the corners of his mouth. It was a response to Kaili, "Go in."
"Thank you, two adults."
Kaili happily accepted it. After the wooden token, I turned to the workers and made a look like the guard master and I were very familiar with each other.
Actually, freelance workers enter and exit from the South Gate every day, Arda and the others have known the guards of the bridge a long time ago. It's just that these two guards are partial and incorruptible, only recognizing the brand but not the person, it's useless even if they fawn.
Once, Carey accidentally lost his residence permit. He wanted to enter the town because of his acquaintance with the guards. As a result, the two guards didn't mean to be accommodating at all, and they blocked him out. In the end, it was the supervisor of Carey's work team who came forward to guarantee that the guards let him in. For this reason, the housekeeper scolded Carey and fined him 5 days' wages.
Several people collected the wooden token and followed the crowd into the south gate.
Flatlake Town has a size of 5 square kilometers. The area to the south is a residential area for freelance workers. The Arda family of 7 live in the independent dormitory No. 49. The roads here are clean and tidy, with jade green landscape trees planted on both sides, and the green brick houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the road, which is even more beautiful than the vassal areas of other towns.
Alda never thought that he could live in a brick house. In fact, if they were in other territories, they could only build sheds on the open space outside the village. The Randal Family not only allows freelance workers to live in the fence, but also provides independent blue-brick houses for freelance families for free. Of course, only the employees of Flatlake Town enjoy this treatment, and the other villages only provide traditional wood houses. However, Arda heard that free people living in the village can collect wild berries and wild vegetables and keep 20% of them. This is already the treatment of the people.
The living environment in Flatlake Town is very good, and the rules here are also very big. Littering is not allowed, it is strictly forbidden to drown anywhere, and pedestrians walk on the right side. Those who dared to disobey will be fined at a lighter rate, whipped for a severer case, and escorted out of the country if they fail to correct the situation.
At the beginning, Arda was still a little uncomfortable. After a long time, he liked the cleanliness and order. Seeing those latecomers who were punished, Arda and their partners always had an inexplicable sense of superiority, just like leading the people to look down on the refugees.
Along the straight street paved with blue bricks, Arda and his companions walked to the square of Flatlake Town. Father Miller’s chapel is located here. On days off, freelance workers like to gather in the square to listen to Father Miller’s teachings. Only these two days, people will walk around the square.
A row of gallows stand in the center of the square, and a dozen dead bodies are hanging on it. It was getting late, and several guards lit two bonfires beside the gallows. The corpse's hideous face flickered under the light of the fire, and the purple black tongue was drooping out of his mouth. This horrible scene made Arda feel terrified and at the same time there was an indescribable pleasure.
"Bah! Deserves to be hanged!"
Kyrie spit in the direction of the corpse viciously, and Alvin also said taking pleasure in other people's misfortune: "Yes! Hang these hairy villains!"
During this period, Randal led the construction of castles and digging reservoirs. The labor was getting heavier and heavier and more young and strong laborers needed to be added. The Randal Family clan also gradually let go Restrictions on bachelor men. In just over four months, more than 3,000 people poured into Randal's collar, and most of them were bachelors. The arrival of these people eased the workload of freelance workers, and at the same time created many problems.
There are conflicts where there are people. Among the bachelors, there are many villains who form cliques. If they fight with each other, it's fine. But many people are involved. Alvin is a bachelor and lives in a barracks called a dormitory. Carey's family does not work in Flatlake Town. He also lives in a dormitory. Since a group of bachelors moved in, the dormitory has not been peaceful. They made trouble, blackmailed, and coerced people from the same house to join the group. Alvin and Carey were often beaten with bloody nose and swollen face because they refused to join the group.
Later, these villains discovered that the number of security soldiers led by Randal was scarce, and that the sheriff was still a beautiful pregnant woman, and began to become unscrupulous. They gradually formed three forces, open strife and veiled struggle with each other, and finally happened. The bloody conflict, and it got worse and worse, even to the point of killing.
Just when the freelance workers were alarmed, the Randal Family made a decisive move, and the guards swept the murderers and villains. Immediately afterwards, fief lord issued a death penalty order, and the new sheriff sentenced these people to death, executed them personally, and then hung their bodies in public for three days!
On the day of the execution, there was a vast crowd on the square. When the death row was convulsed and struggling on the noose, the cheers from the crowd were like mountain cry out and sea howl.
Since then, Flatlake Town has restored its original order.
