Transmigration of the bastard lord

Seeger finished reading the things in the Light and Shadow Stone, and remained silent for a long time.

After lunch, Fu Youguang escorted Andrew away, and Davis also went to attend to his affairs.Seeger returned to the office of the Ministry of Supervision with the light and shadow stone brought back by Andrew, and it took more than an hour to see it.

The light and shadow stone is not as convenient as those image recordings in Fu Youguang's world. Even a fist-sized light and shadow stone can only record short clips.But just these fragments are enough to silence Seager.

Sitting on the sofa with his feet crossed, the Earl rested his chin on one hand, and after pondering for a long time, he finally said, "Daniel, call Mary for me...and Davis."

Daniel, who watched the Light and Shadow Stone clip with Sig, was a little touched. Hearing this, he nodded and went out to call for someone.

Mary, Davis, Seager, and Steven Simon who is on a business trip are the current staff of the Ministry of Supervision.The members of the Supervision Department except Steven gathered together, and Seager played with a light and shadow stone and asked Davis: "Have you read these things?"

Davis nodded: "I see."

"Mary, take a look first." Sig pointed at Miss Mary and continued to look at Davis, "It seems that you are also very concerned about the castle now if you can think of using these things. Should I Praise you?"

"... Earl, I don't like exaggeration and innuendo at all." Davis was expressionless.

"How come, I am seriously complimenting you." Seeger also remained expressionless.

"I think there is inexplicable dissatisfaction in your tone..." Davis pointed out bluntly.

"It's not good to be too sensitive, are you the wife of the seven-year itch?"

"...Although I don't understand, I think your resentment is coming out soon, Earl."

"You spellcasters are more troublesome than women." Sig looked impatient.

"...Okay, are you blaming me for Andrew? At least let me know why you were blaming me?" Davis rolled his eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Miss Mary endured the disdainful attitude that was about to turn into a dead fish's eye, ignored the unreasonable men, and opened the Light and Shadow Stone by herself.

"what!!"

The first scene on the projected image is a huge torrent rushing down like thousands of horses and horses; the angry flood that swallows everything roars with the stumps of trees along the way, and it can be seen faintly on the high waves The carcass of the beast.

Miss Mary screamed and almost jumped up from the sofa, but her body was trembling non-stop, like a field mouse being targeted by a snake, knowing that it is in danger but unable to escape.

The image shrunk down several times was projected on the coffee table in front of them. It was obviously just an image. The flood representing the force of nature still terrified Miss Mary; Sig and Davis also stopped bickering and looked over.

Endless floods, terrifying torrents, natural disasters that many people may have never seen in their entire lives!

The indomitable torrential waves roared down the mountain, and the simple dam beside the river seemed so small before the water.The more than ten-meter-high waves rolled up debris and hit the embankment made of sacks and reinforced with stones. Miss Mary, who watched the video recording, shuddered, clenched her fists involuntarily, breathed faster, and sweated on her forehead.

The dam blocks the first wave, the second wave, the third wave...

It is hard to see the difference between the two sides of the dam, they are all the same country filled with sky and ocean everywhere.

A small gap was made in the embankment by the trunk of a giant tree.

The gap is getting bigger and bigger...

"Ah, ah! Heavenly Father!" Miss Mary's complexion turned pale, and she uttered meaningless prayers in horror, her nerves tensed.

The recorder's field of vision turned slightly, and a group of warriors appeared in the screen on the hills not far from the embankment.

The men lined up in several files, arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, down the safe hill and into waist-deep muddy water.

Wind blowing rain, rain mixed with muddy water.The warriors who supported each other walked with difficulty in the turbulent muddy water, and approached the embankment little by little and unswervingly.

A wave of more than ten meters high came from the other side of the dam, overflowed the small dam, and instantly submerged several smaller echelons.

"...!!" Miss Mary tightly covered her mouth, so she could not let out any screams.

The waves disappeared, and the warriors whose faces were drenched emerged from the water.Their team was a little messy, but they had no intention of retreating, and they still marched firmly towards the embankment.

At last they approached the dike.

Flesh and blood formed a human wall to protect the companions who climbed the stone pile to block the gap.The waves hit them continuously, hitting them again and again; between the sky and the earth, the queue of hundreds of people was so small.

The rain and the flood are indistinguishable from each other, cruelly washing over the bodies of the warriors and taking away their body heat.Someone fell down, fell into the water, was pulled up by his companions, and stood stubbornly in place.The people who blocked the gap were continuously knocked down by the waves and washed down by the terrifying water force; fortunately, there were companions standing firmly behind them, so that they could support their companions to stand up and return to the gap again.

Another terrifying huge wave hit, carrying countless sundries.There were several gaps in the team standing cross-supporting each other, several people were hit by the raging sundries and fell into the water; several suspicious blushes appeared on the extremely fast-moving water surface, and were quickly washed away.

After all, the warriors raised their heads from the water again and puffed out their chests.Almost all of them were wounded, their blood mixed with muddy water, and they were in a panic.But they did not retreat, but instead united the team closer and more solidly.

Miss Mary, who was covering her mouth tightly with her hands, didn't realize that she was already in tears. Her chest was heaving violently, her breathing was disordered, and she couldn't restrain her excitement at all.

Seeger and Davis, who had already seen the picture, remained silent. The arrogant nobles and high-level spellcasters with strong self-esteem no longer have the arrogance of being aloof and looking down on all living beings.At this moment, the [-] flood-fighting warriors who were humble and unknown won their respect.

The picture ended after the gap was finally blocked and the flood fighters retreated to a safe zone.Miss Mary eagerly went to get another Light Stone, and Seeger and Davis exchanged glances before striking up a conversation.

"Your Excellency attaches great importance to public opinion. With these things, I don't think it will be difficult to improve the castle's reputation and influence. The only problem now is, Earl, how do you plan to operate?" Davis spoke first.

Sieg held his chin, and there was something flickering in his eyes: "...the best way is to stir up the notoriety of the castle, let the common people complain and curse about the castle... let them know at this time, What the castle has done where they can't see it... Shame and guilt mixed with gratitude, we'll get a better 'public opinion' than we could have imagined."

"Uh...will your Excellency agree?" Davis had to show reservations about this.

The corner of Sig's mouth was pulled up, showing a self-deprecating sneer: "Probably not. Of course, you can also use your status as a high-level spellcaster to resist this notoriety of manipulating public opinion. Ah Guang will beat you at most..."

Davis's face turned black: "Please don't forget about the city of Barty, Earl. No matter how clean you pick yourself off...you can't avoid it when your Excellency settles accounts after autumn."

"Hmph." Sig snorted coldly, raised his chin, and squinted at Davis with disgust, "You are much cuter than Simon, Davis."

"Please believe me, I am not someone who will be provoked, Earl." Davis ignored and scorned.

"Okay—what's the point? Just do it honestly." Seeger shrugged noncommittally, and shouted at Mary, "Mary, are you a little girl who can't stop playing with toys? How dare you put your snot If it comes out, I will ask you to swallow it back for me, huh?!"

"Wait, Earl, you called me here just to try to see if you can use me to take the blame and let you manipulate public opinion?!" Davis realized later that his voice became louder.

"That's why I say you are much less cute than Simon." Seeger looked disgusted.

"To be honest, I don't mind being beaten up—but your Excellency Guang is not a person who takes care of other people's face when he is furious! If he beats me in the street in public, where will my face be put in the future?!" Dai Weiss roared.

Seeger took out a towel, turned his face and looked down on Davis from the corner of his eyes: "If you spray saliva on me, I will not forgive you."

"count--!!"

Now that the Earl has given up playing tricks, then leave the operation of these recordings to Miss Mary.On the same day, the printing factory in Anpu City worked overtime, and the next day, newspapers with many pictures and few characters appeared in front of the masses of the people.

On the main page of the Amp City Daily, there is only one phrase on the entire page: "hero".

Below the masthead printed in the largest font is a huge photo extracted from the light and shadow stone.The background is the majestic Roca Mountains and the torrential floods rushing down from the mountains.Below, a simple dam spanning the layout, the lower part has been flooded.There is a glaring gap in the center of the embankment, and the flood that is blocked on the other side is swarming and squeezing through the gap.

That mountain torrent is so terrifying, it looks like a monster that devours everything.And under the water waves all over the sky, what is smaller than the dam is the Iron Man Wall with arms crossed, shoulder to shoulder, half of the body in the water, clothes drenched in muddy water, awkwardly and firmly blocking the water. .

At the bottom right of the huge photo that can catch the viewer's attention with just one glance, is a zoomed-out map, marking the location of the dam in red letters, and solemnly pointing out the downstream of the dam, Bati City, where 10,000+ people live.

After the handicraft industry in Amp City was rectified, the tailor Samuel who came out of the banned private workshop of the nobles to work in the garment factory owned by the castle has been in a mess.

In the private workshop, Samuel was a well-respected tailor, and many decent households in the city ordered their uniforms from him.The workers in the workshop always bowed deeply when they saw him, and called him "Master Samuel" with flattering faces; the apprentices in the workshop were even more like slaves to him, allowing him to instruct him to beat, scold, and act intimidatingly. blessing.

After entering the garment factory, Samuel had a higher starting point than others because of his exquisite craftsmanship: he was the group leader at first, managing a dozen or so needleworkers.But a garment factory with over a thousand employees has far more people in positions of authority than him.The group members called him the group leader, and their attitude was not respectful at all. They would not call him uncle, would not bow to him, and would not follow his orders or do private work for him.

What's more damning is the so-called management manual and employee regulations. In order to keep his current job and the position of team leader, he must show kindness, concern, and respect to every team member... Fuck him, these so-called needlework The worker is either a workshop apprentice or an ordinary housewife, and it is not pleasant that he should be asked to respect these people.

What was even more irritating was that his wife thought that he was so important in the castle system, and that he was still the same great tailor who said nothing in the workshop-come on!Now he even has to consider whether the other party is willing and has time to cooperate even in ordering someone to help him!

Samuel was full of resentment, and after another quarrel with his wife, he left the house and wandered on the street.

After the current Anpu City has been rectified, there are many fewer places for nightlife.While snack vendors have sprung up, late-night snacks and rum drinks have lost their appeal without the company of women.Samuel walked along the central avenue for a while, thinking about it, he was still too lazy to go to the tavern street, and turned his head to the Civic Square.There has developed into a large-scale night market with the unextinguished lights on the town hall square. People who work during the day like to bring some money to buy cheap goods after nightfall.

The closer you get to the Civic Square, the denser the flow of people. Of course, because the belated spring plowing has started, there are much fewer people hanging around the night market at this moment than usual.

Following the flow of people into the night market, Samuel noticed that there were many people gathering at the fountain, and the noise was so loud that almost the entire night market could be heard.

Samuel, who doesn't have the habit of reading newspapers, doesn't know what was published in today's newspapers. If he hadn't come to the night market temporarily, he might have to wait until tomorrow when the news is completely dispersed before he hears the news from Batty City from his team members. .With the mentality of killing time, Samuel squeezed into the crowd around the fountain.After entering, he realized that something was wrong. The people who were always laughing and laughing in the night market usually looked serious. Many of them held the Amp City Daily in their hands, and lowered their heads to whisper with their companions while looking at the fountain.

"So the pictures in the newspaper are real?"

"Yeah, I just watched it a while ago. It's not that I said that the terrible flood over there can't be seen at all in the photos."

"God, such a big flood, there is no dam built in Barty City? I have been working on the dam for a few days when we built the dam in Anpu City. It is strong, beautiful, and safe. The flood a while ago was not No threat to us!"

"Hey, don't you know? My cousin works in a transportation company. I heard that the people in Badi City are brutal and lazy. Many people would rather not work when they are hungry, and no one participates in repairing the dam. , how can it be as safe as ours? Even the adults in the castle went to inform the downstream villages and towns to move, but they didn't bother to move, and they were completely flooded at home..."

Hearing the public's evaluation of Barty City, Samuel curled his lips in disdain.Regional discrimination exists in all planes. The citizens of Anpu City, the political center, have a lot of confidence in the "bumps" in other places.

It seems to be the intermission of the screening. Samuel listened to the chatter of people in the crowd for a while. At the center of the fountain, a young man in blue overalls climbed up to the top of the fountain and put a fist-sized light and shadow stone on it. To the mermaid sculpture that stopped spraying water.

The crowd quickly quieted down, and even Samuel was so affected that he held his breath.The guy in the blue overalls activated the light and shadow stone, and the image magnified several times was projected above the fountain, which could be seen by anyone a hundred meters away.

Samuel came to watch with the mentality of killing time, but soon, the contempt and anxiety in his heart were forgotten by himself and completely forgotten.The terrifying flood that devoured the sky and wiped out everything on the huge projection took away all his will in an instant.

Three giant light and shadow stones were released in a row, from the flood warriors fighting against the mighty waves with their flesh and blood, and blocking the gap in the rain torrent; , shouting in order to move sandbags and stones; then to the endless Qianli Ze Country, the desolate villages sunk by the flood, people sitting on trees and lying on the roof, numbly watching the tragic situation in their hometown, There were no tears in my eyes.

The blue cloth work clothes that the citizens of Anpu City are very familiar with rowed rafts into the villages that turned into water. They rescued panicked old people from the trees, from the soil slopes, and from the flooded houses. , women, children, or back or resistance, transport people to the raft.

The narrow raft was given over to the old and weak, and the blue overalls jumped into the water and pushed the raft forward...

Around the fountain, the crowd watching the public screening was very quiet, only the sound of each other's breathing and the occasional gasp could be heard.

Samuel's mind fell into a blank state, and the power of nature he had never seen hit his brain, making him no longer able to complain about his living conditions.And the firm backs, thick chests, and straight spines of the flood-fighting warriors who were as small as ants under the earth were deeply reflected in his heart this night, making him unforgettable for life.

No one disdainfully discusses the laziness of the country bumpkins in Badi City, and no one laughs at those stupid villagers who don't know how to escape when the flood comes.

Everything is so fragile under the monstrous flood, and the emotions in people's chests seem even more insignificant.

At the same time, the blue cloth overalls who fought against the flood, went deep into every corner without giving up, and tried their best to save every humble or insignificant life, unknowingly stirred people's heartstrings, and made countless people feel happy in this cold spring. Tears welled up in the night.

The masses of the people are unwise, short-sighted, and ignorant; however, the masses of the people are also the loveliest.If you sincerely express the prayer in your heart, the people who feel the warmth will definitely give you the same warm response.

At this moment, the value and respect for life brought by Fu Youguang from the world he lives in; the concept of manpower, the cherishing of human life, and the protection of the people that he has always instilled in his followers; The true performance of the warriors who tried their best to turn the tide under the natural disaster was shown in front of people's eyes and entered the hearts of the people.

People's tears, heartfelt sympathy, and concern for the tired figures of the blue cloth work clothes in the video; their mentality and perception have been improved, sublimated, respected, respected, revered, and yearned for...

This, perhaps, is the so-called public opinion.

There is no need to play tricks or tricks, and frankly showing what the flood fighters have done is enough for them to win the praise and glory they deserve.
