Heroes of Silver Moon
Chapter 370: : Silent Change (1)
Marquis Sissoko has two purposes for coming to the king's meeting this time.
One: In response to the king's decree, simply come to attend the annual regular meeting.
Two: Through this great lord, it is a great opportunity for everyone to gather together, discuss with other great lords, how to take the next road.
The aristocratic council was apparently disbanded, but the relationship between them, the great nobles, did not break up.
As long as you wait for a while for this outlet to pass, the noble council can still operate in secret.
It's just that the influence of the aristocratic council that has moved underground is not as high as before.
"My lord, should we go directly to the aristocratic district, or should we go around the capital first?" A knight on a horse asked through the window of the carriage.
"Let's go directly to the aristocratic district! This king has long been tired of watching," Marquis Sissoko replied in a dull mood.
In the early years, when the Marquis Sissoko was young, he spent a lot of time in the capital, so he knew how boring the capital was.
When he first arrived in the capital, the prosperity of the capital was indeed enough to amaze the bumpkins who had never seen the world. The same was true when Marquis Sissoko first came to the capital.
But after staying in the capital for a long time, Marquis Sissoko slowly discovered that the capital has not changed much from the beginning to the end.
The streets will always be those streets, the small vendors will always sell those things, the entertainment venues will always be the same, and the landmarks will always be the palace, cathedral, and clock tower.
Even the things sold in the big chamber of commerce have hardly changed much.
As far as Sissoko knew, the only change in the capital over the past few hundred years was that the current His Majesty the King opened a comprehensive college on the outskirts of the capital.
A pool of stagnant water with a prosperous surface is the best portrayal of the capital.
The carriage walked slowly on the street, and the guards on their horses looked around vigilantly.
If there is no accident, they will follow the route of the past years, and finally arrive at the noble area without any disturbance.
But that's how the accident happened.
When they were about to approach the aristocratic area, the guards guarding the Marquis Sissoko discovered that the road ahead was actually blocked.
The carriage turned to a detour, but it was also blocked, and then detoured, blocked again, detoured again, blocked again...
After going around several times in a row, Marquis Sissoko and the guards felt something was wrong.
If it wasn't for something major happening in the capital, it would be someone who was targeting them!
Thinking of this, the eyes of all the guards became sharper, and they secretly held the weapons with their hands.
"Fries, go and see what's going on," Marquis Sissoko frowned, and ordered to the nearest knight.
The middle-aged knight named Fries quickly rode his horse and squeezed towards the crowd.
The crowd that was crowding each other consciously gave way after seeing this fully armed knight.
Knights, such low-level nobles, can't even count as farts in the capital if they catch a lot of them.
However, this kind of fully armed knight is not common in the capital. Most of them are guarding a certain lord, and they are the retainers who come to the capital to attend the king's meeting. They can't afford to provoke these people.
Frith's expression was stern, and the crowd on horses gave way one after another. Not long after, Ferris saw the source of the congestion - the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
When the royal family was involved, Fries didn't dare to be careless, dismounted in front of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and then squeezed into the Royal Chamber of Commerce with the full body armor on his body.
After a while, Frith squeezed out again with a strange expression, holding a rough white paper in his hand.
Flipping through the white paper quickly, the expression on Fries' face gradually became serious.
Stuffing the book into the luggage of the war horse, Fries got on the horse and hurriedly prepared to report to Marquis Sissoko.
In the carriage, seeing the solemn expression of Frith who had returned, Marquis Sissoko's heart sank.
It seems that something terrible has happened!
"Look, my lord." After returning to the carriage, Fries quickly handed over the book.
Marquis Sissoko was a little puzzled, could this book be the source of the commotion?
After taking the book from Fries, Marquis Sissoko looked it over carefully.
Compared with other books, the paper of this book is obviously a little rough, but the quality is still within the acceptable range.
Books don't have too much decoration, just white paper, black letters, even the cover.
On the blank cover, only the title of the book "Encyclopedia of Commonly Used Words" is printed, and a line of small characters under the name - jointly issued by the Moonlight Church and the Silver Moon Royal Family.
Looking at the pages of the book, the content is no different from the "Encyclopedia of Commonly Used Words" circulating on the market, except that there are no decorative patterns, so the content is a bit monotonous.
"Moonlight Church, royal family," Marquis Sissoko looked at Fries, hoping to get an explanation.
The Moonlight Church and the Silver Moon Royal Family are two major powers in the Silver Moon Kingdom. What these two powers agree to cooperate with is definitely not just a low-quality book.
"My lord," Fries replied with complicated eyes, "This book only sells for one and a half silver coins!"
Marquis Sissoko was taken aback for a moment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then his pupils shrank instantly, and he tightly clenched the book with both hands.
One and a half silver coins, one silver coin and fifty coppers, how could it be so cheap!
You know, for ordinary books, the production cost alone needs three or four silver coins!
"How could it be possible that we haven't received any news?" Marquis Sissoko murmured in a state of turmoil.
As soon as low-cost cheap books come out, it will definitely break the knowledge monopoly of the aristocracy.
If they knew about this in advance, then the nobles all over the country would inevitably interfere with it, because this had already touched their fundamental interests.
But this is where the weirdness lies. For such a big matter, the aristocratic class with their intertwined network of relationships did not receive any news in advance.
If it is the advance planning of the royal family, it will inevitably use a lot of royal resources to conduct research on the product of cheap books.
It is impossible to hide such a big move from the nobles.
If it was a coincidence, why did cheap books that have not made any progress for tens of thousands of years suddenly pop up? Even in order to reduce the pressure, the royal family tied the Moonlight Church to a chariot.
This is not logical at all!
At this moment, Marquis Sissoko fell into deep doubts.
Could it be that the king secretly recruited a group of loyalists to work for the royal family in secret?
But the nobles are not stupid, how could they do such a thing of self-destruction of the city wall?
"Did you only sell this book?" Marquis Sissoko raised his head abruptly and asked with luck.
If only this kind of book was sold, it might just be something made by the royal family by accident, and there is still a buffer time, but what if~
Ferris shook his head, directly shattering the illusion of Marquis Sissoko.
