Chapter 1182: A Different Kind of Happiness

The Berkeley family seemed to have prepared everything for this sacrificial ceremony today, when that family head ordered to search for the murderer, there were immediately formed units of Burning Knights outside the crowd that surrounded them.

Those soldiers were armed with lances, and they were actually divided into hundreds of squads, blocking off all the intersections near the cathedral.

There were tens of thousands of people who had come to participate in the memorial ceremony, the scale was extremely huge, and the long red queue that was discharged even spread over several streets.

People crowded on the streets shoulder to shoulder, looking at those knights surrounded by their horses in a bit of a hurry.

Surprisingly, these encircling Burning Knights even brought with them a large number of town household officials.

They set up exits on the east and west sides, while all other places were surrounded and not allowed to enter or exit.

And every belonger who left from the east and west sides had to pass the scrutiny of the household registration officials.

Although the Wizard Kingdom was technologically backward, the household registration system was very strict even in the ancient times before the Calamity, and it was the foundation of a backward system to manage the people.

For example, if a merchant caravan traveled north, then they would need to carry a document signed by the household registration officer, so that they could check in at the post stations and inns without any problems.

Of course, the rules were like that, but the people below who enforced them might not be that strict.

When the household registration system was first perfected some years ago, everyone was quite careful, and then after a few decades, when no one was checking, everyone turned a blind eye, and no one took it seriously anyway.

“Name, address, belonger number!” Household registration officer one by one inventory, and when the belongers reported their household registration information, behind them there were immediately household registration officials who went through the information to retrieve it.

However, the ideal is beautiful, the reality is bone-skinned, the Berkeley family head pulled these civil registry officer is intended to sift through the ulterior motives of the people.

As a result, the registrars were embarrassed to find that their work in recent years has been too negligent, and that six out of ten of these dependents are not listed in the register.

A country’s decline is never simply a matter of being technologically backward, as in the case of the problems that exist in the Sorcerer’s Kingdom: bureaucratic redundancy, negligence and laziness, backward production mechanisms, and backwardness of the local regulatory system. ……

Berkeley family head after discovering this problem to Winston family head sneered: “In the past, I think you should be a can be a general, but now but found that you are even a government are not good at managing the straw bag. No wonder your Winston Family’s Hymn Knights’ combat power is not good, I see that not only are you not good at politics, you are also not good at organizing military affairs.”

Other than that, the southern six counties under the Berkeley family’s control were indeed much better than other places, at least the civil registry officer would never dare to muddle through the work like this!

The Winston family head said while crying, “Family head, I will definitely comb through the political and military affairs in the future ……”

Berkeley family head was very annoyed by the other party’s crying, he said in a cold voice: “Hall Winston family head, being slapped even cried like this, what use do I want you for?”

“Family Lord, I don’t want it either,” the Winston Family Lord said sadly.

The Berkeley Family Head was all laughed out of anger: “How can a man born in this world be so fragile to accomplish anything? What’s it like to be the head of a family and cry like that, the Hymn Knights under you are all better than you!”

Said the Berkeley family head called out to a Winston family chanting knight to let the other side to take off the helmet, backhand is a slap over, and then beat the chanting knight to cry ……

Berkeley family head: “???”

Winston Family Head: “……”

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu’s eyes were gleaming as he stared at the Berkeley Family Head, or to be precise, at the other party’s palm, as long as the other party slapped whoever it was, whoever it was had to be happy!

The process of happiness might be different, but to each his own ah!

And as House Master Winston looked at that tearful Hymn Knight, a trace of comfort still rose in his heart, at least he wasn’t alone in crying ah.

The Berkeley family head looked at the Hymn Knight in front of him with an iron face, “Waste, truly a soldier bear and a general bear, this is your Hymn Knights! You, come here.”

House Master Berkeley looked towards his own Burning Knight, as if he wanted the Burning Knight to set an example for the Hymn Knights.

The other Burning Knight who was named on the side stepped forward firmly, and he even cast a disdainful gaze at the nearby Hymn Knight, House Lord Winston, who was tearing up, as if he very much disdained this kind of fragile person as a fellow member.

House Lord Berkeley’s heart was slightly relieved after seeing this scene, and he said to House Lord Winston, “See how the Burning Knights under my command do it.”

After saying that, House Master Berkeley threw another slap, then slapped this Burning Knight who had just walked up and cried as well ……

Berkeley house lord: “???”

Winston house master: “……”

At this time, the Winston family head secretly looked up at that tearful Burning Knight, as if to say: this is it ……?

On the side, many of the belongers who had gathered here and were unable to leave were worried about their own safety while secretly surveying the entrance of the church.

There was even someone who whispered, “This Berkeley house lord’s hand is also quite strong ……”

“Isn’t it said that the Burning Knights are exceptionally tough and ferocious, how come they are also so fragile.”

“Hush, don’t say such words, be careful of being sentenced to be hanged!”

The Berkeley family head was already furious: “Is the Burning Knights under my command a bunch of losers.”

The surrounding circle of people were all silent, and House Master Winston’s head was almost lowered to his pants.

This Berkeley family master looked around the circle, he to the Winston family master fumed: “Come on, you come to slap me …… forget it!”

Originally, the Berkeley family head wanted to say You come to slap me and see if I will cry, but he finally salvaged his sanity.

His definition of himself was a future generation of majestic masters, so he couldn’t do this kind of thing that undermined his own prestige even if he was angry.

Moreover, the Berkeley family head had some other worries vaguely in his mind, what if he was slapped and cried as well.

In the crowd, Ren Xiaosu, who was watching the fun, felt a bit sorry, if this slap landed on the Berkeley family head’s face, then it would be too interesting.

Qian Weining, who was also watching the scene, wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

He wanted to laugh because the Lord of the followers is also too damaging, right, Qian Wei Ning himself is the burning knight, he is very clear: those soldiers often years of hard training, even if their bodies are sunburned off the skin has not seen who cried, so this thing is certainly Ren Xiaosu did.

To be honest, Qian Weining recalled his own former wretched appearance, and then looked at those former colleagues at the church door, and said that he had never seen anyone more damaged than Ren Xiaosu in his life.

He wanted to cry because Qian Wei Ning was in a panic, he wanted to persuade Ren Xiaosu to stop playing, and then he was going to have a big problem.

Qian Weining sneaked a look at Ren Xiaosu, so he realized that Ren Xiaosu was looking at himself with a smile.

Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice, “Not going to come forward and report me?”

Qian Weining gritted his teeth, “I’ve already sworn my allegiance, Lord Proconsul doesn’t need to make any more attempts, let’s hurry up and go ……”

“OK,” Ren Xiaosu squeezed towards the eastern exit, “Did you bring your Burning Knights identity credentials? If not, we can’t get out.”

“I brought it!”
