Blackstone Code Chapter 317: Me too
"Blackstone Password()"
In the evening, the high priest returned home and invited his youngest son. He has many children, but he only likes the youngest son because the two people are the most similar in appearance.
Sounds odd, the children in front of the high priest all have some differences in appearance from him. This kind of thing can't be said to be common, but it's not uncommon.
He did not investigate whether these sons were his own blood. When the mothers of these children married, they brought a lot of wealth, power, and some intangible wealth that could not be directly marked with value.
He also gave him a lot of help when he and other brothers competed for the position of high priest, so he would pretend to be confused.
Only the younger son is the most like him. He can't say how he feels, at least he thinks so, so he prefers the younger son.
The youngest son of the high priest is only seventeen years old. If it weren't for the girl who was pregnant before she was too embarrassed to see others throw herself into the river, the seventeen-year-old boy is now the father of a child.
From a Nagalil's point of view, this young man is quite handsome, he is not a fat man like members of the local family, he is a little thin, and he looks very energetic.
"Father, look for me."
Removing a colorful bird feather, removing all kinds of decorations, and wiping off the paint from the body, the high priest revealed his true face.
This is an old man who looks a little old. His face and arms are covered with tattoos, and his skin is a little sagging, so that these tattoos can no longer express what they want to express when they are pierced into the skin.
It also made the High Priest look a little scary and a little disgusting.
"Do you know Lynch?", the high priest asked, looking at the youngest son.
The young man nodded, "I know him, everyone is talking about him lately."
The high priest nodded noncommittally, "He will be on the boat leaving Nagalil and returning to the Bale Federation in two days. You and him will stop going to Amelia, go to the Bale Federation."
Originally, the high priest planned to arrange for his youngest son to go to Amelia to save the province. Gavra had been given the rule of this area for 120 years, and it was time for the construction.
This is a good opportunity. Originally, the high priest planned to let his younger son take the money to go to school and do business at the same time. It is best to be friends with local politicians - with his father as the high priest as a background Wall, there will be people willing to be friends with a young man.
Whether the younger son can come back to inherit his position and power in the future, at least this is a way out. Even he has thought about it. If conditions permit, he will also establish a religion in the Amelia region.
The conflict of consciousness between the locals and the Gefra people required a "middleman" to reconcile the conflict, and this was a good opportunity, and his young son also prepared for it.
I just didn't expect that one sentence from Lynch made him change his mind - freedom of religion, freedom of belief.
Gavra is a monarchical country, and preaching is subject to permission. Only with the consent of the ruler, can a limited preaching be allowed, which is different from the Federation.
If the Commonwealth is really free, he can make his youngest son a high priest in the Commonwealth, and that is the real way out.
Rich, advanced, developed, safe, it's better than being a local emperor in this place.
"But I heard that Lynch rejected Mr. Pretton's kindness..."
The high priest frowned, his voice a little stern, "Remember, you are a child of Nagalil, you are not a child of Preton, you do not speak for him, and do not fear him."
His attitude actually largely represents the current concerns and grievances of Nagalil's ruling class, and the younger generation has begun to become more and more externalized under the influence of these outsiders.
Some of them are not even fluent in the native language of Nagalil, but the lingua franca speaks fluently as a native language.
Their attitude towards life, their attitude towards society... are not very like the locals, which makes people worry, worrying that their descendants will one day suddenly change from Nagalil to "foreign" people".
The high priest felt irritated for no reason, "That's it, you are going to study this time. By the way, take a look at the environment over there. Lynch told me that there is very freedom in religion and belief, if you can. If..."
The younger son, who had no expression at first, had a stunned expression on his face, but it soon turned into an expression of surprise.
In fact, he is more interested in religion than in business.
Born in such a family, he knew very well that what money can't do sometimes, God can do!
The news that the high priest had his young son leave with Lynch quickly spread through some channels, and when Mr. Preton knew about it, he just smiled indifferently, he didn't take it seriously At the same time, for the sake of the high priest, let him not embarrass him on the sea.
The children of the governor's family didn't dare to say such nonsense that they were not allowed to leave without paying money. There was a high priest who came forward. Unless their father resisted head-on, no one would dare to stop Lynch from leaving the country.
For a small person, if it triggers a new round of collision between the regime and theocracy, it will not be worth the loss for the whole society.
This matter seems to have subsided like this. A few days later, Lynch took a boatload of things and a young man who was full of yearning for the outside world and left his father's sight for the first time. 's return trip.
……
"Why so many people?" The federal people who just got off the cruise looked at the reporters holding cameras and cameras in the port with some surprise. They asked each other if there were any foreign heads of state and dignitaries coming. access.
As the Commonwealth became more involved internationally, state visits became very frequent and regular.
There is a new player at the table, and old players must find out what this new friend is thinking and whether there are any projects to cooperate with.
The state visit, which was not seen once in the past few years, has become a daily thing during this period. The Prime Minister of Guevra has just left, and the Foreign Minister of the Federal Republic of Lennes has just left. It's here, and there's a long list of diplomatic agendas.
This also made the people in the Federation see a strange thing, and also increased a kind of national cohesion and confidence.
In the words of Mr. President in his televised speech, "We are taking part in more decisions on international affairs, we are becoming more critical, our status is elevated, and the great renaissance of the Commonwealth is at hand..." , it does sound like a boost to morale.
Although the current economic situation is still bad, it is no longer as invisible as it used to be. The emergence of some international orders has caused some factories to resume work. These are good phenomena and make people realize that they are integrated into the international market. importance of society.
Of course, all this further proves the error of the "escapism" line. The former president is currently under investigation. It is said that the Federal National Security Council of Bailer intends to prosecute the former president on charges of "dereliction of duty" and "obstructing national security". president.
The rapid and huge changes are so overwhelming that when people see these reporters after disembarking, the first thing that comes to their mind is the visit of foreign dignitaries.
Some people stay in the port and want to feel the heartbeat of the pulse of the times up close, but they are destined to be disappointed, but not necessarily lost - this sentence is wonderful.
As an unremarkable small and medium-sized cargo ship slowly approached the port, the reporters instantly boiled, and some people watching the fun rushed forward.
The first thing they saw was some big cages sent from the freighter. The cameras of the reporters began to flicker frantically, and people kept exclaiming and asking, what the **** is this?
"Is this a lion?" asked a fashionable woman in a sun hat, blue dress, and a handbag with some uncertainty. "It's fur is so beautiful, it gleams in the sun!"
The male companion beside her was a little uncertain, "The lion's hair is much thicker than its own, and looking at the markings on its body, I think it may be a leopard~IndoMTL.com~ I have seen a leopard, and a leopard doesn't have that hair. !", the fashionable lady immediately disagreed.
As soon as the male partner was about to refute, he could see the persistence in the lady's eyes and the fact that he had just finished his month-long abstinence period, and the whole person instantly confessed, "You are right, dear!"
The lady smiled very gracefully, "I knew I was right!"
More things are being shipped from the ship, which are rarely seen in the Commonwealth, including some furniture made of red blood wood - even the children came with Lynch, cutting down some worthless trees Isn't it just a word?
People are talking about where these things come from, who they belong to, and why there are so many journalists.
At this time, the owner of these things is on the deck of the freighter.
"I feel it, Lynch..." The seventeen-year-old boy had already had a good relationship with Lynch after three days of getting along. He held the side of the boat and raised his head slightly, breathing deeply on.
The air quickly filled his lungs, making his thin body look swollen. "This is the smell of freedom. I never thought that the smell here is so sweet!" /
He looked back and looked at Lynch with some surprise. There was no odor in the air that could not be dissipated so much that it needed a sachet to cover up. Maybe there was nothing other than the smell of sea fish, but this was the first time for the couple to go abroad. For a young man, it was already enough of a surprise.
"I said, this is the best place in the world, you will fall in love with it!" Lynch's smile has always been contagious, plus he is not much older than a teenager, it is easy to Let the boy agree with his point of view.
"I think so now, Lynch!"
