Chapter 557: Voice of protest

Several young men and women walked among the white stone carved buildings,

strolling slowly, some were talking with each other, and some pointed to the

statues and asked which saint it was.

"Huh, this is the white flower saint Durlan." Hesen wiped the sweat from the

heat, and pointed to the white statue standing in the fountain in front of

him.

The saint was wearing a close-fitting and graceful dress, holding a special

long sword in her hand.

The hilt, body, and guard of the long sword form a straight cross shape, and

then there is an upright circle on the guard that surrounds the hilt and the

body of the sword. This circle has a complicated pattern like vine branches

and leaves.

Durlan held this special holy sword and inserted it into the ground, and then

water spouted from the junction of the sword and the ground, forming a small

fountain.

"It is said that this saint led the local people to build a city in just one

month during the chaos and disaster, and then inserted the sword into the

ground to attract clear springs and solve the water problem, thus saving

hundreds of thousands of people. Therefore, she was canonized. After the war,

she left behind an extraordinary faction, the Bailan Cross Sword, which should

still be found in Wilga.” Hesen explained the statue.

"A rare female canonization." Boli looked at the small stone stele below

curiously, which recorded the time of her birth and death.

"Then, is the Bailan Cross Sword still being passed down? I'm going to see it

when I have time."

"Well..." Hesen thought about it.

"Which city is it in..." He couldn't remember for a moment.

"It should have been in Hopelander, Bailan Cross Sword." Rosier walked slowly

next to him, stood with Boli, and looked at the stone stele below.

"Is this what it used to be? What about now." Another girl also walked over,

she asked curiously.

"It should be on your side. It is said that in the Hopeland Incident a few

years ago, most of the members of Bailan Cross went to Frost Rose." Lorrain

Hill continued.

"Well, I don't usually know much. When I was young, I liked to play around."

Jelika touched her chin.

Afterwards, the group looked at other statues one after another, and then

walked towards the Château de Château.

Amidst the tall trees, there was a lingering singing from a small church.

Few pedestrians are very quiet around, only the occasional cicadas from the

treetops remind the time of the moment.

The 7 people from Lorrain Hill did not enter the church to visit, because it

would disturb others and it would be abrupt. They sat on the benches and rocks

outside, listening to the chants inside.

The nuns and monks in the choir are not too old, and the innocent voice sings

a cappella without accompaniment, giving a sense of purity and sacredness.

"Possessed, self-sufficient, graceful and compassionate."

"Living in the capital city, holy and solemn, empty valley orchids."

"My sage is immortal, if there is nothing to do, graceful and inviolable!"

The bytes in them are all short sentences with the same length. When singing,

the scale rises with the adjustment of the song, and there is a vast and

solemn sacredness.

In this way, a few people sat quietly in the shade of the trees, blowing the

summer wind, listening to this remote and sacred poem.

"Although I don't quite understand the meaning of the lyrics, I always feel

calm when listening."

After they finished listening, they continued to walk on the mountain road,

talking to each other.

"Perhaps this is the effect the chant is trying to achieve. Sometimes the

lyrics are not important, but the sacred feeling of calm down is important."

Several people came to the other side of the mountain as they talked.

At this time, what unfolded in front of them was a magnificent scenery.

The setting sun reflected the sky, slowly falling into the horizon, the purple

clouds of the sunset were soaking in the horizon, and the pale golden sunlight

fell on the vast ** under the mountain peak.

Due to the cold climate here, there are few trees, most of the ground is

gravel, soil, green weeds and the like. And this huge ** of several thousand

square meters was reflected by the setting sun at this moment, and the golden

and sparse brilliance filled every corner of the line of sight.

The world is clear and beautiful, the grass trembles slightly in the evening

wind and light, and there is a good dry smell in the air.

"There is such a beautiful place around the holy mountain, why didn't I know

before." Several people sighed and counted.

"I'm afraid you have been to this place before, but I quickly ignored it at

that time." Ya said with a smile.

"In fact, it is usually sparse and normal here. If it is cloudy, the huge **

below will be pale and not beautiful."

"It will only present beautiful scenery at certain times."

"Is that so?"

Haisen and the others sighed with emotion, sat here again to enjoy the

beautiful scenery, and then left when they knew the sun was sinking into the

earth gradually.

"Holy Flame Palace is not far from here, let's go over there for dinner."

Everyone wanted to go to the mountains in the south according to the pre-

planned route.

As a group of people slowly approached, the noise of a tumult gradually became

louder. A group of priests dressed in plain white robes were gathering

together and walking between the roads. With their shouts, a large group of

people followed behind with interest. , In this way, the number of people

increased, and the momentum gradually increased, and on the road, they

approached Lorrain Hill and others.

"Sibis manipulates promotion and deployment and persecutes poor pastors, which

is a heinous crime!"

"Shameless villain, unworthy to be an archbishop and a priest with a scepter."

"Removal! Let the Adjudication Division interrogate him!"

Facing this mighty crowd, the seven had to avoid the monks and nuns on the

side of the road for the time being, stood on the side of the road, and

watched them pass by.

"Is this a protest?" Boli asked in a low voice.

"It should be, but at this point..." Crow didn't say half of his words, but

everyone probably knew what he meant.

"Forget it, regardless of our business, we are still students of Emenas, it is

best not to participate in this kind of thing." Hesen said to the side, slowly

waiting for these people to pass, and continue with a few others. Go ahead and

sit down in a restaurant under the Holy Flame Palace.

The space in the restaurant is not large, they are on the second floor,

sitting in a side position.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and burning wall lamps were

replaced on the indoor walls. The flames burned quietly in the windshield

tube, emitting a bright yellow color.

While waiting for the meal, several people heard curious conversations from

other guests around.

"Where did those pastors come from? They were so bold and directly insulted

the priest of the Ten Sword Palace."

"I don't know the specific process, but I heard people say that most of these

pastors are from small places. Because of the arrangements of the church, they

have been pastors in remote and poor places for more than ten years, and have

not been promoted or deployed, so there is a backlog. A lot of grievances."

"Then why do you scold Sibes for this kind of thing, he seems to care about

it."

"He doesn't care, but his students and friends control it. It is said that

many bishops in wealthy areas belong to the Sibes faction. They take care of

each other and are very powerful. This is the cause of the anger."

"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

While Lorrain Hill and others were idly looking at the night view outside the

window, a waiter in the restaurant finally served tonight's dinner.

Bubbles were still in the red ochre stone pot, and the soup in it was still

boiling, exuding a tempting fragrance. Inside are small pieces of yellow,

green, and red. Among them are meat, vegetables, rhizomes, etc. The color

matching is very good.

"This is the more distinctive method of the Holy Flame Palace." A student said

so, and then picked up a wooden spoon, scooped out part of it, and distributed

it to each companion.

"It is said that it was invented by priests in some remote areas in the early

years. Because the chaos disaster had just passed, and many places were short

of food, they would cut the prey they hit, the plant roots and fruits they dug

into pieces and put them in and cook them together. . But I don’t want to find

a few good taste combinations after I get too many times, and then they have

been passed down."

"This kind of stone pot was also used because there was no abundant ironware

at the time, and only local materials were available. This restaurant also

retained the original style." Haisen explained like a master tasting. The tall

and strong student seemed to Have a good understanding of eating.

"It sounds like a sense of history." Jelika picked up some of the spoons and

couldn't wait to taste them.

"It's better to be cold for a while, this one is very hot." Crow, a person who

usually looks cold, would care about people at this moment.

"Hey, okay." Jelika put down her spoon for a while, then looked at the night

view outside the window.

In the mountains at night, the long dragon of torches spreads upwards along

the mountain road. Even if you sit in the restaurant here, you can hear the

shouting echo from the opposite side of the mountain.

"Unexpectedly, slogans started to be shouted here." Jelica sighed.

"Is it common with Frost Rose?" the silver-haired girl sitting beside her

asked curiously.

"Yes, in the past few years, there have been a lot of new things and some new

systems in Rulna. At first, the local people did not understand it. The big

local family was also very repulsive. Banners were drawn on the streets, and

people were organized to shout slogans and so on."

"The general idea is the fairness and democracy of rights. It cannot be held

in the hands of the stubborn conservatives in the local area. After a long

time, everyone will slowly be agitated, and then the high level of the Frost

Alliance will implement new policies, and there will be much less resistance.

This way Gradually, the rights of the local big family were confiscated."

"Originally, the big local family was the big chamber of commerce, and the

surrounding residents would also work in the chamber. They were all folks, and

they were extremely united. Now that the rights are taken back, the Frost

Union began to dismember these big chambers of commerce and gradually merged

into the official organization. in."

"Such a large organization performs its own duties, and competition is much

less." When Jelika said this, her expression was not as relaxed as before.

"Isn't this a good thing? In this way, a lot of internal friction can be

avoided." Crow said casually with a glass of sake.

"But... there is still some worry, so many ordinary people have no other

choice when facing such a powerful behemoth. And this way..."

"In this way, a monopoly is formed." Lorrain Hill added with a sigh.

Although Frost Rose also has so-called democracy on the surface, this

‘democracy’ only serves the powerful, that is, the powerful.

The entire country is like a huge company. The purpose is to earn profits for

the top (magic, wealthy, etc.), and then use this to expand its strength,

actively spread to the surrounding area, annex the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua,

and finally fight against Green.

It seems to be the right choice, but it is all based on the huge sacrifice of

the bottom layer. Because it is similar to a company, when you can no longer

provide it with value (labor, battle, wealth), you will be abandoned by it.

They don't know how to endorse or get some so-called guaranteed benefits.

Because the structure of power is that the higher the extraordinary strength,

the greater the wealth of people, the higher the voting rights, while the poor

and low-level people without extraordinary strength have very low voting

rights. Naturally, they do not need to consider their interests in the

parliamentary proposal, or even consider it. Its rebellion, because it does

not have that strength.

The people at the bottom are like firewood. After the most elite years have

been burned, they will be abandoned like rubbish.

However, under the slogan of the Frost Rose Alliance, such behavior is not

wrong, but correct and great. People believe that they are not good enough to

cause misfortune.

The verdant empire divides social status by blood and extraordinary strength,

whether it is noble or not.

Hanshuang Rose divides social status and power by wealth and extraordinary

strength.

The latter is an imitation of the former, so it is also very similar.

If this kind of behavior is placed in a distant earth civilization, it may

have long been replaced by a new social form, and the emergence of

extraordinary sequences has caused the actual gap between people to become

extremely large, and this concept has become more and more stable.

And the more extraordinary countries there are, the more obvious this

situation is. Although the clear view in the church is that everyone is equal,

in fact it is hard to escape the influence of objective laws and ideological

trends.

Since the establishment of Hanshuang Rose and Crancia, the social structure

and rights topics that have not been paid attention to have been heatedly

discussed over the years. People in other places may have been blocked by

news, low level of education, and said little, but in churches that are

literate per capita and proficient in history and classics, the concepts of

all parties become lively and intense.

Everyone often discussed with each other, and later they were divided into

several factions.

As more and more information about the Rose of Frost Frost was introduced into

the sanctuary, many pastors also slowly agreed. They claim to be the

representatives of angels in the world, and they have extraordinary powers,

that is, they are higher than those of ordinary people.

The main group of people who agree with the doctrine of hierarchical society

~www.mtlnovel.com~ are concentrated in the faction of Archbishop Sibes.

As for the chief of Otis of the Knights of the Holy Spear, he agrees more with

the view that meritorious people are above. No matter who they are, as long as

they have merits, they are superior to those who have no merits. This is their

view. .

And Beines has never expressed her position. Although Lorrain Hill felt that

she might be inclined to be equal, in fact, or because there is no strong

argument, she has been silent all the time.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Lorrain Hill sighed in his heart, watching the scene of confrontation and

noisy between the two sides on the opposite mountain, and then a group of

knights on horseback came from the other side of the mountain road, holding

torches and long swords, well-trained, righteous. It is the long-famous holy

spear knights on the mainland.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

This group of knights drove both sides with torches, separating the two groups

of people. Then a knight riding a tall horse and wearing dark gold and silver

engraved armor came slowly, and the scene gradually became quiet.
