Gold is Justice

"Ask him!" Judas pulled Jelly over, pressed his shoulders, and said, "His father has read a little, you ask his father, is it impossible for a slave to become a nobleman no matter what?" ? You ask him! He knows!"

Faced with Judas' anxious appearance, Cream didn't look at the jelly at all, but only sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Jelly was pressed by Judas. After a little hesitation, she glanced at Duck over there again, and said, "Yes... yes... my father... told me... if you are a slave, then even When a slave goes to the battlefield and wins a battle, the honor of the slave should also belong to the master... A slave will be a slave for the rest of his life, let alone recovering his status as a commoner, it is even more impossible to become a nobleman..."

Judas: "Did you hear that?! You people still want to lie to me? I don't know what your intentions are, but you can't lie to us! Although we are prisoners now, we have brains!"

It's just that Judah's frenzied shouting performance is the same as nothing to Cream.

The assassin just continued to sneer.He looked at the shuffled cards in front of him, took out one from the top and held it in his hand, and said leisurely: "Yes, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a slave to become a commoner, let alone a nobleman. But , even so, our president has still completed the transformation from slave to noble. Why do you think this is? What is wrong with this slave law that has lasted for hundreds of years? The long body has to lose its effectiveness? Draw the cards, continue to play cards, why stay here."

When Cream said this, the prisoners on both sides were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses and began to draw cards.

Cream sorted out the cards in his hand while touching the cards, and said again: "Don't you understand? Hehe, the truth is actually very simple, that is 'change'."

"Because our Blue Bay Empire is now undergoing certain 'changes', this law, which was stuck in the past, will now be loosened, resulting in a strange species like our president. What do you think happened? What kind of change has happened, so that the royal family of our country ignores such a law and insists on promoting our president from slave status to noble status in one go? The reason is this change. "

The prisoner next to him touched the last card, looked at the face of the card in his hand, and said, "Change... what is the change?"

Cream sneered, and said: "It's any change, it's a lot of changes that may not have been noticed before, but the problems have become more and more serious in recent years. It's some unstoppable reforms, creations, and changes that once The life that I thought would never change is now slowly changing. It is because of danger, because of the enemy, because I found that the beautiful life that I thought I could continue to enjoy is now facing the possibility of being destroyed! In such a series of changes Under the circumstances, the identity of our president can naturally change."

On the other side, Judas gritted his teeth, patted his thigh vigorously with both hands, and said with a look of contempt: "So, is your president really a slave? Are you really a pariah? Heh, heh heh! How ridiculous! , you people actually listen to a slave? Don’t you feel that your status has suddenly become inferior to that of a slave?”

boom--!

Before Cream could open his mouth to stop him, Brad seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He jumped and fell from the sky like a mountain, landing heavily in front of Judas!

The sudden strong sense of coercion instantly suppressed the sense of contempt that Judas had just hung on his face, and he only instinctively raised his hand to condense the water element, but now nothing can condense in his palm.

"You look down on our president? Do you think it's embarrassing for us to be members of the president?"

Brad dropped his hands, the muscles in his arms bulging now.Perhaps because of his anger, his body seemed to have swelled up a bit. That huge body gave people the feeling that he could directly slap this thin coachman to death with just a single slap.

"So, you are our prisoner now, and your status is even lower than mine. Then what do you think you are now? Is it a bug? Or is it dirt? Or is it something that is not even qualified to breathe and should not exist at all?" ?”

With a splash, Judas fell backwards and sat on the ground.He looked at the huge, monster-like warrior in front of him in panic, his lips trembled, but he was speechless.

"Brad, calm down."

Duck stepped forward and put his hand on Brad's shoulder lightly.After panting several times in a row, Brad's anger seemed to finally ease a little.He withdrew his inflated body, went back behind Cream, and sat down side by side with Dak.

"You guys, don't you find it strange?"

Regarding everything just now, Cream acted as if he didn't see it at all, he drew two attack cards from his own card and put them down.Before Judas over there had time to react, he continued to say——

"Slave is low? Slave is a synonym for lazy, useless, and low? Then, if the title of slave is really so low, and it can really completely describe the level of a person's ability, then why are you being so low now? A slave is held here?"

The prisoners on both sides played a few cards, but obviously, they were not in the mood to continue playing cards now, and the formation they played was also messy.

Cream shook his head slightly, and continued——

"You may think that slaves and nobles are two completely different existences. However, our president told me from her personal experience that there is actually no difference between so-called slaves and so-called nobles."

As soon as this statement came out, the prisoners were in an uproar!

But Cream was not in a hurry, he waited for all the prisoners to finish their astonishment and the surrounding voices softened a little before continuing——

"Whoever stipulates that slaves must be less intelligent than nobles? Who stipulates that slaves must be weaker than nobles?"

"Our president himself said, do nobles have to open their mouths more than slaves, and eat one more meal than slaves? Or are those nobles able to sleep only one hour a day, compared to those of us who have to sleep six or seven times a day?" Ordinary people with hours are more diligent?"

"If there is no essential difference between those nobles and ordinary people like us, or even the most humble slaves you call, then why should those nobles be noble? They can even continue to be noble from generation to generation? Why should slaves be low? ? Or even downgraded from generation to generation?"

"Even if the so-called nobles are not compared with slaves, compared with us ordinary people, do those nobles grow more crops? Or do they raise fatter and stronger cows and horses? Hey, that one named Judas over there , You said that you were a driver before? Then do you think that the reason why the nobles are better than you is because their cars are better and more stable than yours?"

Judas was dumbfounded, and the prisoners around him also looked at me and you, but they could only keep silent.

After a long time, Judas gritted his teeth and said, "Nobles... Nobles don't need to compete with me for driving!"

Cream smiled slightly, and followed his words: "Oh? If the nobles are not better at driving than you, then how can they be better than you?"

The corners of Judas' mouth twitched, and he immediately stretched out his hands, trying to gesture: "Nobles! Nobles! They...they have a good temper! They are...very polite! To us...even to us Ordinary farmers are polite!"

Cream shrugged, turned his head to Duck beside him and said, "Hey, do you know the etiquette of nobles?"

Darke closed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "Nobles are also divided into ranks, royal etiquette, there are nine etiquette steps on the dining table alone, and in professional terms, they are divided into 'pre-work', 'middle work', 'Following action'. Each action can be decomposed into three actions. The process of putting on the napkin must use the 'snap knot', because it is more elegant to tie this knot."

While speaking, Duck stretched out his hand to gesture, and even took out a handkerchief to show around his neck. Soon, a beautiful napkin was tied up.

"However, it should be noted that there is another knotting method called the Farmer's Knot. On the surface, it looks similar to the snap knot, but it is too simple and the knotting gesture is too vulgar and rude. Therefore It’s not the same thing. It’s simply a faux pas to tie a farmer’s knot at the dinner table for convenience.”

"In addition, you should also pay attention to the time of knotting. It should not be too long or too short. If the time of knotting is too long, it will appear that your status is not noble enough, and you can't even tie a knot well. And the time of knotting If it is too short, it will look very rude, and it will make people feel hungry and eager to eat, which is very ugly. Therefore, the time limit is basically three to five seconds, and the most elegant time should be It is a little over four seconds, but the period of less than five seconds is the best, and the behavior is the most elegant."



Chapter 220 Where is the real enemy?

Dak put down his hands, and while recalling, he continued: "Of course, some nobles like to have their servants tie their napkins for themselves. Especially for the ladies of noble families, it is a kind of dignity to let the maids tie their napkins. However, recently, in the upper class , young men, or male aristocrats under the age of 30 who have not yet given birth to sons, tend to tie knots by themselves. Because this will show their ability and strength, rather than a person who is already out of work and can only let Only a middle-aged man who has a family and an heir can be exempted from such gestures and let the servants help tie the napkin."

Just a napkin Duck can go on and on for a long time.Seeing that he seemed to be going to continue, Cream frowned slightly, and said, "Okay, thank you Duck for your explanation. Then, Judas, tell me, can you do something like tie a napkin? ?”

Judah's face was livid and he didn't speak.

Cream didn't care either, and looked back at the prisoners around: "Can any of you tell me, is it that you can't do the gesture of the nobleman tying the napkin, which seems very polite and dignified to you? Yours Is it a broken finger, or is it not flexible enough? Or are you so stupid that you can't even tie a knot?"

Seeing that the prisoners all around were silent, Cream played a card with a joking attitude and continued, "Is there anything else? Do you think the nobles are better than you in any way? What do they have to do?" Can't get it?"

That Judas still didn't seem to want to give up. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. After hesitating for a long time, he said again: "And...knowledge! Noble gentlemen...they can read and write, they can compose musicals! They... They...they look very elegant when they speak!"

"Ha! Reading and writing? Interesting."

Cream quickly closed the cards in his hand and said——

"Let me put it this way, before I joined Song of the Mermaid, I could only write my own name at most. Do you think it's great that those big shots can read and write? Do you want to learn to read and write? Song of Mermaid can teach you .”

culture.It was something that seemed inherently cut off from the average farmer.

After all, for the most ordinary farmers, they don't need to learn to read and write, and they don't need to do cultural exchanges at all.

A farmer's life is in the farmland, and he spends his whole life in the farmland.The seedlings under the ground can't understand human words, and they don't need to write any words to these plants.

For a long time, things like writing seemed to belong only to the upper class, something exclusive to the nobility.

But now...

Now, this song of the mermaid actually tells these prisoners who used to be peasants, those books that only the nobles can read, the words they can understand...they are willing to pass it on?

"What nonsense are you talking about! Reading... What's the use of reading? What's the use of reading? It's like I drive a car and he farms. Why should we learn to read?! And...and..."

Speaking of this, Judah suddenly saw the jelly next to him. His heart moved, and he immediately stretched out his hand and pulled the child over, and said loudly: "And look at him! His father can read and write, so what's the use? He His mother is crazy, what use is that knowledge when killing his father?!"

Cream raised his head, looked at Judas who was still shouting in front of him, and waited until he finished shouting before he said: "So, do you agree that those nobles are not able to become nobles because they have culture and can read and write? So You still haven't found out yet, how are those noble gentlemen better than you, right?"

"This this……!"

For a while, Judas found that he had fallen into a thinking trap.

He stared wide-eyed, looking at Cream over here very nervously, the expression on his face was full of excitement and tremors.Maybe it's because the life of the past 30 years has made this prisoner's mind set, but now, all this seems to be gradually collapsing?Something very unusual... is sprouting... among these crumbling ruins?

Cream picked up the cards in his hand, looked at them, and continued: "Now, I will ask you a few very simple questions. Why can nobles eat such good food and wear such good clothes without working? If speaking elegantly and being able to read and write are not the real reasons for becoming nobles, what is the real reason for those nobles to become nobles? You think those nobles are superior to us commoners, but not only are they not as powerful as us, but they are also of a kind. The land is not as good as us, and even making a little things is not as good as us. Why are they better than us? Why do we worship them? Can you explain these questions?"

Judah's thinking is chaotic, and such confusion is actually not just him.

All the prisoners here, listening to such words, all had the same confusion on their faces.

Where are nobles better than?

Why can nobles eat and drink well without working?

Why can aristocrats usually eat a casual meal compared to ordinary civilians' rations for a month, or even a year?

Why can the children of nobles still be nobles, but their own children can still only be commoners?

Such thoughts spread among these prisoners, dotted with little sparks in the dark world.

Of course Cream knew that it was impossible to change all these people's minds in one go.

However, he doesn't expect to reach such a height now, as long as he can plant such an idea that he has never had before like a seed in the hearts of these people, then things are enough.

"So, who on earth called you to Pelican City to cause trouble? Is that also a nobleman?"

Still pretending to be casual, Cream played the cards in his hand and said slowly.

A prisoner playing cards next to him froze for a moment, and then said: "It's the lord of our town... Sir Hawthorne. He said... It's all because of the problems in your Pelican City, so the textile factory I work in collapse……"

Someone opened his mouth, like a small breach of a flood dam, and immediately someone followed up——

"The lord of your small town? We are the village head. Our village head also told us that the reason why the village's drought continued in the first half of this year and the harvest was not good is because the textile industry of Pelican City offended the God of Light, so it will treat us The one who lowered the punishment..."

"The lord of our town is Sir Jason. Sir Jason is a very gentle and friendly nobleman. We came here because Sir Jason said that it was the Song of the Mermaid in Pelican City who robbed us of our money. , that's why..."

The prisoners around talked to each other, and talked in a hurry.Speaking of which, everyone let go, and gradually began to tell them all about how they encountered difficulties, and how they complained to the leaders of the village or small town, and then those leaders asked them to come to Pelican City. one time.

Cream squinted his eyes and played cards silently, but he remembered all these words in his heart.To sum up, most of these prisoners are civilians from the two provinces next to the border province, basically because of the economic downturn, and then life is getting more and more difficult, plus the second half of last year until the first half of this year The prolonged drought caused them to have nowhere to go and began to attack Pelican City.

Such a chat atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxed.

While playing cards, Cream searched all the information about the noble lords who encouraged these prisoners to come and attack Pelican City.

At the end of the hand, Cream frowned, threw down the cards in his hand with great regret, and said, "I'm familiar with it, I lose! This hand is really bad luck! I should give it to you too." You guys have your dinner, let's go!"

Saying that, Cream patted his legs, got up, and walked towards the gate.

Seeing him leave, Brad behind him didn't react, just nodded and said "I will continue to watch".

On the other hand, Dak, who had always maintained a wait-and-see attitude, thought for a while, but got up silently, and walked out with Cream.

Leaving the warehouse, Cream in front of him took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, took out his pocket and lit it, and took a deep puff.

When he exhaled this puff of smoke, Dak behind him waved his hand to disperse the smoke, and said, "Anyway, the raw materials of these cigarettes are also poisonous. It's fine to sell them to other people. You'd better not smoke." Suck a little."

Cream took out the cigarette in his mouth and looked at it, then turned around with a bit of a wry smile, shook his head helplessly at Dak, and said, "I'm in a bad mood right now, please let me relax first."

As he spoke, he smoked his cigarette again.

Duck was two steps away from Cream, avoiding the smoke from floating on him, and said, "What's wrong? You were fine just now, why are you so frowning all of a sudden."

Cream exhaled a puff of smoke, and after thinking about it, he still shook his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that I seem to know something very extraordinary."

Seeing Cream's puffing up, Dak frowned even more.
