Realm of Power

"Here I come, the mysterious Dardanelle family!" When the fat man crossed the border on horseback, he felt an inexplicable realization in his heart. This time he led the army into Zhiva Cheze. In addition to protecting it with force, he also wanted to protect all the people in the south. The lords showed Samor's powerful strength and fought with Ziva Che Different from the rich aristocratic culture that attracts talents, the emerging Samour has a broader development direction, an increasingly powerful military, and a unique and rich business culture. Fatty wants these nobles living in the south to see who is worthy in this troubled world. The Lord to rely on.

Entering the Brugga Castle, the scenery on the roadside began to change. A lonely yellow castle was built on the cliff in the distance. According to the accompanying business alliance president Si Duhan, that is the north gate of Riva Cheze." Sunshine Castle” Brugga Castle, Fatty Hair An interesting phenomenon has emerged. The further south you go, the more humid and hot the weather is. The higher the terrain where the lords built their castles. It seems to be related to the humid and hot weather in the south. Instead of staying at the foot of the mountain in the unbearable heat, the lords prefer to stay in the beautiful scenery. , high altitudes with cool weather

All the way south, large areas of barren and brown land began to appear on the roadside, with almost no people around. At this time, Samour had already started sowing winter vegetables, and the habit of harvesting once a year was still maintained here as before. The villages we passed through were shabby and chaotic at night. , the withered yellow thatched roof is the main color here, a few dead trees support the drafty thatched house, groups of ragged farmers hunched over, like a nest of rats, poked their heads out of these dilapidated cottages, with dull faces. Watching groups of heavily armed light cavalry passing through outside.

"Is this the legendary aristocratic paradise? Is this Riva Cheze?" The scene on the roadside surprised the fat man. It was hard to imagine that the prosperous Riva Cheze was built on such a declining economic foundation. Poverty has reached an outrageous level. Fatty saw a woman in the village more than once, walking around naked without even a piece of clothing to cover her body, with a numb look on her face.

"There is nothing surprising about this. Not everyone is as generous as adults!" Si Duhan, the president of the accompanying Business Alliance, said indifferently. "The noble adults hold luxurious banquets in the castle, while the poor farmers live on thatch like dogs." In the heap, the nobles rule the land, and the knights use their swords to maintain the order of glory. Isn’t this the world structure promoted by the nobles!”

"World framework?" This was the first time Fatty heard this theory.

This is what any knight apprentice must learn when he becomes an orthodox knight. He swears to respect honor, swear to maintain order, and swear to be loyal to his master. However, he does not swear to protect the people. This is the true meaning of the knight's "three oaths."

There was a kind of resentment in Si Duhan's tone. Si Duhan, who was born in a branch of the family, has a deep sense of identification with the poor farmers who work hard but cannot get corresponding rewards, because he himself has experienced such an unfair fate. .

"Fortunately, I'm not a bastard knight." Fatty said with an embarrassed smile. The Si Duhan in front of him reminded Fatty of the word "angry youth." I never expected that Si Duhan, who has always been aristocratic and polite, turned out to be a rebellious nobleman. It seems that he chose his own person. You have a really good eye. If you pick any one, they are the "seeds" of hatred for this decadent framework.

“Only such people will support themselves to keep going.

The fat man's mighty army had just entered the area of ​​Riva Cheze City. The deacons of the Dardanelle family were already waiting by the roadside. The fat man had no intention of sneaking into Riva Cheze. Under his leadership, the army was stationed outside the city of Zhiva Cheze.

The early morning fog filled the city of Riva Cheze, and the humid southern water vapor, accompanied by the cool wind, hit the fat man's face, refreshing the fat man who got up early. Today is the day when the so-called business federation organized by the Nisar family was established. Baron Si Duhan will attend the meeting on behalf of the Business Alliance. The fat man who loves to join in the fun will naturally not miss it. He takes Salon and two guards with Si Duhan to the Tulip Exchange where the ceremony will be held.

The wide carriage road in the city of Rivache is completely out of proportion to the narrow roads passing by on the way. Fatty knows that many lords believe that narrow roads are more conducive to defending against the intrusion of enemy lords. Rivache is the center of traditional aristocratic culture in the south. The birthplace of aristocratic culture, this concept has been taken to the extreme.

The carriage lane in the city can accommodate eight carriages side by side at the same time, but the road outside the city is narrow enough for only one carriage to pass. If two or more carriages meet at the same time, it will be a competition for the carriage owners to show their identity and status, and the relatively weak one will. The carriage had to pull over. The owner of the carriage watched with envy and resentment as the victor walked away from him with a proud smile.

Implement the pride of the nobility into your daily life and let the status and power of the nobility be nakedly displayed. When living in Ziva Cheze, you will find that the privileges of the nobility are everywhere like ghosts. It is more like a miniature aristocratic arena. Only fame and glory can make you look high here

“The base camp of gold-worshiping girls, the arena of the rich second generation”

This is the conclusion that Fatty came to after staying in Riva Cheze for two days. Fatty no longer feels any pressure on Riva Cheze to build a commercial center. On such a basic environment, he wants to build a lively atmosphere. , a commercial center with equal commerce and trade and convenient transportation, is simply a whimsical joke.

Turning into Yujin North Street where the nobles live, there are gorgeous marble arches along the way. On the garden-like road, you can vaguely see aristocratic carriages shuttling back and forth. The complex emblems inlaid with gold are like octopuses lying on the carriage doors. The people inside are dressed more gorgeously than each other. Their hair is combed in a popular hairstyle, proudly tilted back, revealing their energetic foreheads, and their faces are haggard and gray. Even the coachman driving the carriage is wearing expensive sarasa cloth.

"These should be the nobles who just returned from the banquet!" For such a scene, Si Duhan, who grew up in Kyoto, is no longer surprised. With a teasing look on his face, he explained, "This is the life of the nobles. There are banquets to attend every day, and they go back every day at dawn. This kind of decadent and dissolute life is everything to these nobles, a group of termites in the kingdom!" Oh! Damn the excessive chapter, so many things to think about that I don't know where to start
