Lord of Rot

Chapter 235 Hall of Valor

As we enter December, the leaves are almost gone.

Most of the leaves were collected, and Li Qi used rot magic to accelerate the decay for the first time, and then buried them underground to improve the soil.

Meanwhile, porcupine collar development continues apace.

First, the move to the new house has been completed.

The demolition of Maitian Village has also ended.

With enough money invested, people's enthusiasm for work is unprecedentedly high. The more they earn, the better they can live.

Those who have endured hardship cherish the hard-won happy life more. Isn’t it good to drink oily broth and eat fragrant bread every meal?

If you make a little more money, you can treat yourself even if you get sick, instead of waiting to die.

Therefore, the sudden drop in temperature cannot stop people's enthusiasm for work.

It’s also time to harvest winter oats.

Carloads of grain were weighed in batches and sent to the castle.

Winter might be a little more comfortable with this batch of winter oatmeal porcupine collars.

However, these grains are not enough to support three meals a day for more than 2,000 people. More work means that people need to consume a lot of physical strength and supplement a lot of food and energy.

Only when you are full can you work well.

Therefore, you will also see some food being delivered to the castle by foreign caravans.

With Li Qi's participation, a huge building in the new area of ​​Maitian Village sprang up like weeds.

Whenever people get off work, they come here out of curiosity to take a look, but they don’t understand what the purpose of this building is? Because the house was built too high and was very empty, there were no extra rooms. It doesn't look like it's meant to be inhabited.

It's like a miniature castle.

Could it be that the Baron is planning to build Wheatfield Village into a second castle?

But compared to these, people are more concerned about another thing.

It's already December, which means a new round of selection of honorary knights is about to begin.

The first Honorary Knight, Little Gazelle, was not only a slave turned freedman, but she was also a woman.

Although the lord has issued a proclamation that honorary knight is just a title, not a title, the entire Porcupine Territory, whether they are serfs, slaves, freedmen, or merchants, all want to become honorary knights.

Having the title of "knight" is honorable enough, and one is willing to do without a fiefdom.

Otherwise, look at the little gazelle. The young and old couple who jumped in line in Maitian Village were bullied before. However, the little gazelle became an honorary knight because of his excellent moral character and enjoyed the admiration of others. However, the old and young couple were labeled as being against the honorary knight. A label of immorality.

It is said that the girl originally wanted to work in the city hall, but now she can only knead clay pots in the brick kiln factory.

The old life is not much better. No one wants to hire them long-term to do some chores.

No one punished them, but people were unwilling to use them anymore.

It is said that after Little Gazelle became an honorary knight, her business in the vegetable market suddenly improved several times, and the hidden benefits were huge.

Many people prefer to buy food from her stall because she is an honorary knight, a status recognized by the lord.

The honorary knight award in December is finally here.

There were already many people gathered in front of that huge building that I didn’t know what it was for.

The sound was noisy, but after the lord appeared and soldiers knocked on their shields, the scene quickly became quiet.

Li Qi stood in front of a huge building. The people who came here included freedmen, serfs, soldiers, foreign merchants, etc.

He held a paper trumpet in his hand.

Although there is no loudspeaker produced in this world, using this trumpet-shaped paper tube can increase the volume to a certain extent.

Li Qi used his extraordinary power to amplify his voice and transmitted it through the loudspeaker.

Ensure that the sound can reach everyone's ears.

"Good day" Li Qi said.

Seeing that everyone's attention had been attracted, he continued.

"This time, two brave warriors from the team that followed me died on the battlefield!"

Li Qi's voice was high-pitched and emotional: "One of them is named Sickle and the other is Jeff. They lost their lives at a young age. They have no parents or relatives. You may not know them at all. They will be known to people soon after their death." Forgotten, but they are fighting for the Porcupine Leader, fighting for me, I can’t forget them, and the Porcupine Leader can’t forget them either!”

"The place behind me is called the Hall of Valor. Everyone who died fighting for the Porcupine Territory and who made contributions can have their name entered into the Hall of Valor after their death. From now on, whether it is 10 years or 100 years, Still in 1000 years, the names and deeds of the warriors who entered the Hall of Valor will be remembered! They may have died in life, but their stories can stay in the Hall of Valor forever like those epic heroes."

After Li Qi finished speaking, he looked at the porcupine warriors responsible for maintaining order.

Those who have been on the battlefield are the most excited about this. After dying in battle, being remembered by others and composing their own poems like the heroes in the story will be the greatest honor for a warrior.

No one wants to be unknown.

There must be sacrifice, and I hope that my sacrifice will be remembered.

"From now on, for countless years, everyone who comes to the Hall of Valor will know them. They were honored to protect the Porcupine Territory during their lifetime, and they can still enjoy this honor even after death."

"I hope that after I die, I can enter the Hall of Valor."

In the last sentence, the lord hoped that he could enter the Hall of Valor after his death, which made people realize how special this place was.

Some people already understand what this sentence means, and some people may not understand at all what is the meaning of having their names remembered for thousands of years. They just want to have enough food and clothing.

After all, for them, what the family can remember is their grandfather's generation.

Why bother to pay homage to a dead person?

The Hall of Valor was built at the same time as the square was being built. Li Qi thought over and over again and made changes.

In this world, the church's beliefs are very overbearing, and Li Qi did not give the Hall of Valor more functions. For example, after death, the soul will enter the Hall of Valor.

If he said this, I am afraid that more than half of the people present would object, because after death, people would rather go to the Kingdom of God and return to the embrace of the Four Gods than to be trapped in the Hall of Valor.

The greatest consolation for people is that after suffering during life, they can finally go to the Kingdom of God and gain eternal peace after death.

But even death has different meanings, whether it is famous through the ages or unknown.

Li Qi also hopes to increase people's cohesion through the Hall of Valor.

Even if more people join the Porcupine Collar in the future, it will not make the place a mess.

In order to increase the influence of the Hall of Valor, the selection of honorary knights and the awarding of badges are chosen here.

After saying that, Li Qi walked away, because what happened next had nothing to do with him.

Enter Grant.

He will then be awarded the second honorary knighthood badge.
