"I know everyone is having a hard... hard time."
Elena was reading the speech Lu Cheng had written for her. Lu Cheng had given it to her after she finished her political class yesterday.
According to Lucheng's plan, rebuilding the Skare political system will not happen until a long time in the future. At least after the construction of the first phase of the camp is completed, Elena will be allowed to return to the country and obtain the power she deserves.
But the plan always has to have a backup plan.
"Lucheng again?"
Elena found herself stuck again and took the initiative to speak to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng was sure that the girl was working very hard to learn how to be a good king. She had practiced this speech all night long last night.
In order to practice, Nuoyi had to sleep on Lucheng's bed with his little pillow.
"No need. You just need to find a way to read the manuscript smoothly. There's no need to read the following article with emotion."
Lu Cheng was listening to Elena's speech and recalled the days when he recited the entire text to his teacher in elementary school.
I could recite fluently when I was not in front of the teacher, but my mind went completely blank and I stuttered when I was reciting.
This is the situation Elena is facing now. Lu Cheng and she are in the meeting room of the camp.
In addition to Elena, the audience included Professor Lin Yuping, Dr. Niu Shan and other researchers, as well as another general of Scarre who was listening in.
"But isn't this to appease and encourage the emotions of the masses?" Elena's inner tension was obviously relieved a lot when she was chatting with Lu Cheng.
"That's not necessary. What people need is the real you."
Yesterday, Lu Cheng asked the lower-class residents of Skarre what they thought of Elena at the refugee camp, and the general conclusions he came to were, "Will you not be beheaded if you tell the truth?", "It feels a bit silly.", "She is not as arrogant as those nobles."
Elena had indeed gained a lot of popularity among the lower-class people during the rescue operation, and this speech would further enhance Elena's reputation.
"Try it again. You must practice it until it becomes natural." Lu Cheng said this and stood up to leave the meeting room.
"That I..." Elena looked a little flustered when she saw Lu Cheng was about to leave, and wanted to call out to him.
But she still held back. After watching Lu Cheng leave the conference room, under the gaze of a group of researchers, Elena picked up the speech in her hand again and began to practice.
Lu Cheng left the conference room and went to the other side, where General Hubert was discussing and studying with other researchers in the camp.
He is studying the modern judicial system, such as the establishment of police agencies and legal knowledge.
"Sir Lu Cheng." After seeing Lu Cheng, Hubert stood up and saluted as usual to express his respect.
"Given the current situation in the royal city, you don't have much time. Have you figured out whether those people are guilty?"
Lu Cheng pulled out a chair in front of the long table and sat down. This time, Elena's return would surely overthrow the entire Scarre regime, and the first to suffer would be the nobles who had committed countless crimes.
"If it is the crime of enslaving slaves, I am also guilty." As the patriarch of the largest family in Scarre, General Hubert knew many inside stories that even the king did not know.
"There is something called probation in our country's judicial system, but there must be nobles in your country who are more guilty than you, right?"
During the month that Lu Cheng had been with General Hubert, he found that this old general was a truly dedicated, patriotic veteran. It was definitely a blessing for the king to have such a general.
"I think there are many, but Lord Lucheng..." General Hubert hesitated for a while and asked the question that puzzled him. "You and your country will definitely not be satisfied with cooperating with our country. I'm afraid other countries...can't accept this kind of change in the political system."
"What does it have to do with us what other countries think? In fact, it is none of our business whether your country changes its political system. It's just that your people are influenced by our ideas."
Lucheng was sure that the rabbits came to this world for a clear purpose: to mine, obtain resources, occupy land and build houses. If it were not for the energy of the portal, Elena and Hubert would most likely not have met Lucheng.
Therefore, the rabbits’ attitude has always been very clear: they just farm peacefully. If they want to cooperate, that’s fine, but if you dare to disturb them, be careful of mushroom bombs.
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple." General Hubert murmured to himself. He knew that this wave of change would not stop in his own country, but would most likely spread to the whole world as long as the camp continued to develop.
… … …
The cold winter has arrived and heavy snow has fallen on the Green Leaf River.
Nancy stood at the side of the White Sail and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river.
Covered by heavy snow, Scarre was a dead silent cemetery. The White Sails drifted down the river.
Less than a week after she returned home, Morris III had already prepared the boat and was ready to sail along the Green Leaf River to the "legendary land" in his eyes.
During this week, Nancy handed the design drawings of the matchlock gun and the improved design drawings of the matchlock gun to a blacksmith and carpenter trusted by her father.
She knew that the most important part of the matchlock gun was the barrel. As long as she could create a barrel that could bear the power of gunpowder, the weapon would be half complete.
However, Nancy no longer had the patience to wait for the master blacksmith to make the gun barrel, and her father was also impatient... So Nancy followed her father early on and boarded the White Sail to head back to the camp.
Before arriving at the camp, the White Sail must first pass through the royal city of Skarre. According to past experience, a messenger must be sent to inform the other party of the king's visit.
But now the port of Skarre's royal city is empty. Nancy feels that even if they enter the city with an invading attitude now, they can easily capture Skarre's royal city.
"Listen carefully! After entering the city, each of you must be respectful and pray to the god you believe in!"
However... the voice of Morris III behind Nancy made her sigh deeply.
Morris III firmly believed that Scarre was a country protected by God, otherwise those blood crystal beasts would not have disappeared so quickly.
This time, Maurice III visited Scarborough most likely with a pilgrimage mentality.
So when the White Sail docked at the shore of the Royal City of Skarre, Maurice III told his soldiers in an imperative tone: "Be humble and pious. If you meet an old man begging for food on the road, you must give generously. It is very likely that he is the incarnation of the god."
“Is my father doing this out of true faith in God, or is he just playing dumb?”
Nancy looked at the soldiers of her own country on the deck. The armor they wore was patterned with symbols of at least a dozen gods, and there were more than twenty priests accompanying the army.
This is undoubtedly something that only a fanatic would do, but Nancy always felt that her father was not a qualified "believer".
On the contrary, under the influence of Maurice III, the soldiers and priests all firmly believed that there was a true God in the land of Scarre, and this journey was to worship him.
It was in this solemn atmosphere that Maurice III set foot on the land of the Royal City of Skare.
