Chapter 84

The use of charcoal is easy to explain, as long as it is repeatedly emphasized that it cannot be burned in a sealed room.This news was immediately noticed by Eugene. After questioning Cecil in detail, he brought his subordinates to whisper, obviously not discussing any serious usage.

Cecil's focus quickly shifted: I really want to take a bath, yes, I have to design a way to take a shower, otherwise a group of people can turn the bathhouse into a dirty puddle.

When Cecil was thinking about the design of the water and water, Eugene walked over and said, "The person who lit the fire found out."

Langdon said first, "Who?"

A legionary knight pulled an extremely skinny young man up and walked up. From his appearance and attire, he could tell that he was from Ebo, with panic and fear on his face.

"Shortly before the fire broke out yesterday, someone saw him bring a burning stick into the firewood bin. He admitted that he threw the burning stick into the firewood bin several times. He didn't know why the first few times he didn't succeed, but this time he was successful. "

Cecil asked the question everyone was asking right now: "Why?"

The skinny boy rolled his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, he was kicked on his knees by the knight of the legion, and he knelt on the hard rammed earth road. He cried out in pain, and said repeatedly: "It's Mr. Beers calling!" I did it! It's Lord Bills!"

Cecil was taken aback: "The lord of Ebo? Is he still alive?"

"No, it's not, it's another Lord Bills, the nephew of the Lord of the City, who said that he will come to receive Ebo after the spring." The skinny boy lowered his head and whispered, "He, he said that the Gay Knights killed The city lord, if you want to return to Ebo, you have to prove your sincerity. He asked me to set fire to the city, causing chaos. I, I think there is a lot of firewood in the firewood warehouse. If it is burned, everyone will definitely notice it. That's why I went to the firewood warehouse to light the fire."

Hearing this, Cecil deeply felt the importance of education and the need for a little vision when selecting employees.

What a fool!

The firewood warehouse is a public building, forming a new industrial area with public toilets, small squares, mushroom houses, paper mills and soap factories. Cecil gradually evacuated the residents in this area, and the roads were also very wide. The spacing is even greater, and even if the firewood warehouse is burned into a torch, it will not cause fundamental confusion.

Might as well burn Oakes' house down!

Of course he couldn’t say that, Cecil watched the legionary knights take the crying and shouting skinny guy down, and said a little uneasy: “Kill it?”

"Of course." Langdon said without hesitation, "This is not your business, don't interrupt."

Cecil hesitated, but shut up.

Cecil hadn't had nightmares since his return from Ebo, nor had he had any special feelings, which was what worried him.It is not normal to see so many corpses and so many dead people without feeling anything.He should be afraid and terrified, he should be worried about the cruel rules of this world, and he should stay up all night because of the guilt in his heart.

In fact, Cecil just thought about it, and it was over.

At such times, Langdon was always the first to notice Cecil's abnormality: "Do you want to forgive the person who set the fire?"

"No, I didn't think so." Cecil hesitated, "I just... think I'm too cold-blooded? I didn't feel anything after Ebo destroyed the city."

"How do you want to feel?"

"Yeah, I feel guilty or something."

Langdon looked puzzled: "Why do you feel guilty? You didn't kill those people."

"But I live."

"Living is not something to be guilty of. Only the lucky ones can live, dear Cecil." Langdon said slowly, "Not everyone is qualified to live."

Cecil stopped suddenly, looked at Langdon's face for a long time, and realized the huge difference between the two worlds: on Earth, life is taken for granted, a right that babies deserve from the moment they take their first breath. , all human societies and morals are basically protecting this right, and a few weird ones are not excluded, but this is generally the case in civilized countries.

But here, to be alive is luck, to live safely is a lucky privilege, to live comfortably and safely is to be the chosen one of heaven—the proud son of the earth is a wealthy family with the surname Zhao, and living is as natural as breathing.

"Including me, if I didn't have a teacher, I wouldn't be able to live until now. I was probably killed by my parents when I was born." Langdon turned around, faced Cecil and embraced his shoulders, "I'm a lucky one. Not everyone has it, so be thankful for what you eat every day, the house you live in, and strive for a better tomorrow."

"I not only want to live well for myself, but also for many unlucky people." Cecil said earnestly, "I can do it."

Langdon laughed: "Where did you come up with such rhetoric? Let's get the bathroom you've been thinking about first."

This is indeed a heart disease.

After all, the bathhouse that Cecil has been thinking about day and night has not yet been built. Langdon said that the fire goblin has got the news and is considering it. There is no news for the time being. He can only stay in the city and make trouble here. .

The skinny guy in the firewood warehouse has been silent since then. Eugene led the legionary knights to conduct a thorough investigation in the city, and found some people who had been in contact with "Lord Bills", and they all went back to Ebo to try to find their relatives. It is difficult for them to walk several kilometers in ice and snow.These people naturally stayed after being warned, and no one was willing to leave the comfortable life in the city for some "Nephew Bills". What's more, the survivors in Ebo city also publicized the cruelty of the white tower labor and violent suppression , Many people have made up their minds not to go back even in spring.

Langdon and Cecil went back to Ebo again to get in touch with that nephew of Biers, but it was conceivable that they didn't meet anyone at all. If the nephew of Biers wanted to meet them, he should have appeared early in the morning.

"What are we going to do if he does show up?" Cecil asked.

"He has the right to inherit Ebo and demand that all Ebo people move back," Langdon replied, "as long as he proves his identity."

When Cecil heard it, his heart was about to move: "How to prove it? Bloody confession?"

"What is the blood test? Your method?" Langdon said inexplicably, "No, of course it is by magic. As long as the two are related by blood, it can be determined."

"Oh... Will it make a mistake?"

"No, 100% accurate."

Cecil was silent for a moment: "...Then we have only one way to kill him."

Langdon looked over with subtle eyes: "Is that why you want Ebo?"

"I want the population of Ebo!" Cecil emphasized, "I don't want this city. Of course, he won't refuse if he insists on giving it to me. It's kindness! But, I really want Ebo s population!"

"Don't worry, the population of Ebo is not a problem, especially those who come to Gaylao Village." Langdon said calmly, "With the passage of time and changes in their lifestyles, their belief in the Mooshi will gradually fade, until Even if they don't want to change their beliefs, they will change at that time, and they will become the villagers of the gay village, not the Ebo people."

This sounded really cool, but Cecil felt that a certain point sounded really unpleasant: "Should we have a name? It's always called Gay Village, Gay Village, which is not very good."

Langdon had no objection either: "Knight Village?"

"It's so ordinary."

"What advice do you have?"

Cecil thought hard for a long time, and said with some embarrassment: "I want to be called Yuecheng."

"Moon city? The moon? The city on the moon?" Langdon used three questions in a row, showing his confusion, "Why?"

"It was just an idea." Cecil lied.

This name comes from the name on Earth, Guanghan. Although he is always complained about as if he didn't finish his speech, his impression of his name can never get rid of the mythical palace.

Fortunately, Langdon just smiled: "As you wish, let's call it Moon City."

Nephew Bills didn't even show a ghost. After Cecil went back, the first thing he did was to write two huge Chinese characters in white paint on the entrance of the city gate: Moon City, and gathered as many people as possible Announcement of name change.He noticed a small commotion among the Ebo crowd, but it subsided quickly. As Langdon said, the official name represented the establishment of a certain civilization. This was a starting point that was not easy to ignore. Ebo People can no longer fool themselves with the excuse of "I'm just living in the stronghold of the Knights".

No one left. On the second day, the atmosphere in Moon City became more relaxed. A certain sense of identity made the Ebo people change in their treatment of the knights.

Cecil was quite happy. After feeling the cold weather, he approached Langdon and asked, "Is the Knights celebrating the New Year?"

"Year?" Langdon asked back.

"Is there any celebration on alternate days every year?" Cecil explained.

"No." Langdon said, "It's best not to disturb others when it's a private matter like a festival. Even Oakes and Russell celebrate their own festivals. They haven't loved it to that extent yet. Don't interfere with other people's civilization."

Cecil: "..."

What the hell?They all died for him, but they couldn't even celebrate the holidays? !

"Won't the Knights have a unified festival?" Cecil didn't believe it.

"Yes, but not during the New Year." Langdon said, "It seems that some of these knights have a New Year holiday."

Cecil tentatively said: "Then if I, for example, cook a meal and invite a few friends to eat together during the festival, does this count as interfering with other people's civilization?"

"It doesn't count if someone else wants to." Langdon laughed. "Do you want to invite me?"

Cecil said excitedly: "Are you coming?"

"No, thanks." Langdon leaned over and kissed Cecil's forehead, "Happy holidays to you."

Cecil: "..."
