Chapter 1227 (1/2)

Dak put down his hands, recalled and continued, ”of course, some nobles like to ask their servants to tie their napkins. Especially for the ladies of noble families, it is a kind of decency to let the maid tie a napkin. Recently, however, in upper class society, young men, or male nobles under the age of 30 who have not yet given birth to a son, are popular to tie their own knots. Because this will show their ability and strength, rather than a sick child who has been absent from work and can only be taken care of by others. Only when there is a family and an heir can a middle-aged man be exempted from such gestures and let the servants help fasten napkins. ”

Just a napkin can talk for a long time. Seeing that he seemed to be going on, cream frowned a little and said, ”OK, OK, thanks for dak's explanation. So, Judas, tell me, can you do the thing of tying a napkin? ”

Judas turned blue and stopped talking.

Cream didn't care. Looking back on the prisoners around him, ”can any of you tell me that you can't do the noble's action of wearing napkins, which looks very polite and elegant to you? Is your finger broken or not flexible enough? Or are you so stupid that you can't even tie a knot? ”

Seeing that all the prisoners around were silent, cream continued after playing a card with a joking attitude: ”is there anything else? What else do you think nobles are better than you? What can they do that you can't do? ”

Judas still didn't want to give up. He clenched his fist and bit his teeth. After hesitating for a long time, he said again, ”there is... Knowledge! Noble lords... They know how to read and write, and they can arrange song and dance dramas! They... They... They look elegant when they talk! ”

”Ha! Reading and writing? Interesting. ”

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

”I'll say so. Before joining the mermaid song, I can only write my own name at most. You think it's great that those big people can read and write? Do you want to learn to read and write? We can teach you the mermaid song. ”

Culture.

This is something that seems to be completely isolated from ordinary farmers.

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

Farmers live in farmland all their lives. The grass seedlings under the land do not understand human words, and they do not need to write any words for these plants.

For a long time, words seem to belong only to the upper class and are exclusive to the nobility.

But now

Now, this mermaid song even tells these prisoners who used to be farmers that they were willing to teach them the books that were once high and only noble lords could read and understand?

”What are you talking about! Reading... What's the use of reading? What's the use of literacy? It's like I'm driving and he's farming. Why should we learn to read?! And... And... ”

Speaking of this, Judas suddenly saw the gel next to him. His heart moved. He immediately stretched out his hand and pulled the child directly over, shouting, ”and look at him! His father can read and write. What's the use? His mother is crazy. What's the use of that knowledge when killing his father? ”

Cream raised his head and looked at Judas who was still shouting in front of him. After he shouted, he said, ”so, do you agree that those nobles can become nobles not because they have culture and can read and write? So you still haven't found out where those noble lords are better than you, right? ”

”This... This...!”

For a time, Judas found himself in a mental trap.

He opened his eyes and looked at the cream here with great tension. The expression on his face was full of excitement and tremor. Maybe it's because the prisoner's mind has been set by his life over the past 30 years, but now it seems that all these things are beginning to collapse gradually? There are some very unusual things... Sprouting slowly in these crumbling ruins?

Cream picked up the card in his hand, looked at it and continued, ”now, I'll ask you some very simple questions. Why can nobles eat such good things and wear such good clothes without work? If elegant conversation, reading and writing are not the real reasons for becoming aristocrats, what are the real reasons for those aristocrats to become aristocrats? You think those nobles are more senior than US civilians, but they are not only less powerful than us, but also not as good as us in farming, and even not as good as us in making something. Where are they better than us? Why should we worship them? Can you explain these questions? ”

Judas's thinking is confused. In fact, he is not alone.

All the prisoners here, listening to such words, had the same chaotic color on their faces.

Where are nobles better than?

Why can nobles eat and drink well without working?

Why can an aristocrat's casual meal compare with the rations of ordinary civilians for a month or even a year?

Why can the children of nobles still be nobles, while their own children can only be civilians?

This idea spread among these prisoners, dotted with a little bit of spark in a dark world.

Of course, cream knows that it is impossible to change all these people's minds at one breath.

However, he did not expect to reach such a high level now. As long as such an idea that had never been before could be planted in these people's hearts like a seed, then it would be enough.

”So, who called you to Pelican city to make trouble? Is that also a noble? ”

Still pretending to be careless, cream said slowly, playing the card in his hand.

A prisoner playing cards nearby was stunned and then said, ”it's the Lord of our town... Sir Hawthorne. He said... It's all because of your Pelican city problem, so the textile factory where I work closed down... ”

Someone opened the mouth, just like a flood dam opened a small breach, and someone immediately followed——

”Lord of your town? We are the village head. Our village head also told us that the reason why the village continued drought and poor harvest in the first half of this year was that the textile industry in Pelican City angered the God of light and punished us... ”

”The Lord of our town is Sir Jason, who is a very gentle and friendly noble sir. We came here because Sir Jason said that the mermaid song of Pelican City robbed us of our money, so... ”

The prisoners around you said a word to me and a tongue in cheek. Later, everyone let go and began to tell them how they encountered difficulties and how to complain to the leaders of the village or town. Then the leaders asked them to come to Pelican city.

Cream narrowed her eyes and played cards silently, but she wrote down all these words in her heart. To sum up, most of these prisoners are civilians from the two provinces next to the border province. Basically, they are living more and more difficult because of the economic downturn, coupled with the long drought from the second half of last year to the first half of this year, which will lead them to no way out and start attacking Pelican city.

Such a chat atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxed.

While playing cards, cream felt the information of the noble lords who encouraged these prisoners to run to attack Pelican city.

At the end of the card game, cream frowned, threw down the card in his hand with great regret and said, ”I'm ripe, I'm losing! This is really bad luck! It's time for me to deliver dinner to you, too. Let's go! ”

Then cream patted his legs, got up and walked towards the gate.

Seeing him leave, Brad in the back didn't respond. He just nodded and said, ”I'll keep watching.”.
