Ivan sat on the ground, and soon followed the example of others lying on the ground, trying to rest as much as possible and regain some strength. He didn't know where he was going or how long he would have to walk.
Every sound, every sound.
There was a sound of wheels turning.
Ivan did not get up, but slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound in the most effortless way. He saw a group of carriages with flags flying on them. The flags were blue with purple and black flowers embroidered on them. He recognized this kind of flag, which was used to express noble status.
Of course, he didn't know which noble family this flag belonged to.
Just as he was looking at the convoy of carriages without any thoughts, the familiar sound of whips sounded again, and his body seemed to be equipped with springs. He subconsciously got up from the ground and stood up - not only him, but everyone else, got up from the ground and stood up unsteadily.
The clerk held up his whip and shouted something.
Ivan can't understand.
But I soon understood. Someone used Eagle Kingdom and Wind Speech and shouted loudly, "Everyone lines up. According to the instructions of the clerk, there is a line of people behind each carriage! No talking, no moving, stand still!"
Ivan started to panic.
He didn't know how to stand in line, and he had never stood in line. When he saw others walking, he walked too. Then he got kicked on the butt by a clerk who cursed him with words he didn't understand.
She seemed to notice the confusion on his face.
The clerk pulled him over, pushed him behind the back of one serf, and cursed him again. Then he pulled the second serf.
The chaotic team was soon arranged into six crooked teams under the arrangement of the clerk.
The Sapphire man who knew how to Wind Speech walked to the front of the team, chatted with a few people who looked like nobles for a while, and then faced the many serfs. "You have two meals a day, traveled thousands of miles to Coral Island, and are about to go to the place where you will live in the future, Flower Town!"
Ivan, like others, looked at the speaker numbly and had no reaction.
The speaker continued, "The lord of Flower Town is the bloodline of the great Tulip Family, Liszt Master Baron is also your master from now on! Remember where you live from now on, Flower Town, remember your future master, Liszt·Tulip, the great Tulip Family bloodline!"
The last few words were shouted out in a very powerful way.
However, the serfs below still reacted calmly.
The speaker didn't care at all. He waved his arms and his gray hair was messy in the wind. "Remember, from now on, you need to say Snake Script of Sapphire Grand Duchy. Of course, you are just a group of serfs, no one cares whether you can say Snake Script. But you need to remember these three words, Flower Town, Tulip, Lord Lord!"
"Now, follow me and pronounce these three words!" He shouted loudly, "If you pronounce these three words accurately, you can enjoy a wonderful lunch, understand!"
During lunch, the silent and numb team suddenly became commotion.
The hungry serfs could not bear the excitement of lunch - they only ate two meals a day on the ship, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the rest was just lying around.
The brave serf responded tremblingly, "I understand, my lord."
"Very good, start now, say to me - Flower Town..."
"Flower Town."
"Louder, Flower Town!"
"Flower Town!"
Ivan felt that he was too hungry to speak, but for the upcoming lunch, he still summoned up the little strength left in his body and shouted with others, "Flower Town."
This term is not difficult to pronounce.
Very easy to learn.
After shouting it out several times, he was even a little excited, and he actually learned a foreign language.
"Very good, it seems that you have mastered the vocabulary Flower Town, so next, follow me and say - Tulip..."
"Tulip."
"It's Tulip, idiot, don't stick your tongue out and read it again - Tulip..."
"Tulip."
"Louder, Tulip."
"Tulip!"
"Although it is not standard, remember it. Everything here and in this land belongs to the Tulip Family! Your lord is the blood of the Tulip Family!" The person who can speak Wind Speech continued to teach, "Next, you need to understand how to express your loyalty when you see your lord. You must kneel down first."
Several serfs knelt down as soon as they heard this.
Other serfs also knelt down.
In an instant, all six teams knelt down.
The speaker was startled. He was not Liszt. He did not dare to ask the serfs to kneel down and worship him, so he quickly dodged away. "Idiot, I don't want you to kneel down right now, forget it... When you kneel down in front of the Black Tulip flag on the carriage, you will treat it as seeing the lord. Now read after me - lord..."
"Lord Lord."
Ivan knelt on the ground, shouted along with the crowd, and tried his best to straighten his tongue.
After several times.
The person who could speak Wind Speech ran to a row of noble-looking people nearby and said in Snake Script: "Mr. Gortai, is this kind of teaching okay?"
Gortai, wearing Frac·Abie, nodded and said, "Today's pre-lunch teaching ends here. Let the serfs fill their bellies first. Flower Town is not a place where the poor can't even afford food. Old Grandet, thank you for your hard work. I will need your translation for the arrangements for the serfs in the future."
Old Grandet smiled and said, "It is Old Grandet's Rongxin who serves the lord, so I will tell them to start dinner."
Then, facing the serfs who were still kneeling on the ground, he said, "You can get up and continue to stand in line. Now start distributing lunch. Take it one by one. Everyone has a share. No looting is allowed! Otherwise, the whip of the clerk will not have eyes."
Hear what Old Grandet said.
The uneasy hearts of the serfs quickly turned into surprises - there was indeed lunch!
And then, as the carriage compartment opened, pieces of food they had never seen before were put into their hands on plates and bread.
There are no cutlery such as cutlery, just food and plates of bread.
Ivan received his share of food. He recognized the plate bread. He used to use plate bread a lot. After using it for a certain period of time, he could continue to eat it after boiling it. On top of the plate bread, there was half a piece of black bread, and then there were many large, small, round, and flat things.
I couldn't help but reached out and touched it. It was very hard.
But I don't know how to eat it.
Fortunately, he always did what he saw others doing. In addition to seeing others eating black bread, someone had already opened the thing and ate the soft stuff inside.
So, he held the plate of bread, sat on the ground, and took a hard bite of the black bread. Then he followed others and opened the thing. It was very easy to open because it had cracks in it. He broke it with his hands and it separated. A very strange fragrance was quickly smelled in his nose.
Swallowing the bread, Ivan saw several people eating it before he mustered up the courage and took a bite.
It's very soft and almost melts in your mouth.
He didn't know what it tasted like, but it felt delicious, so he stopped worrying about it and focused on eating his own portion. Perhaps he had been hungry for too long, and in just a few moments, he had eaten all the food. When the last thing with a shell was eaten, it was almost the first time in his life.
What does it mean to feel "full"?
At this time, Old Grandet's shout once again reached the ears of Ivan: "It seems that you are all full. You are really a group of lucky guys. Remember this feeling. From today on, in Flower Town, as long as you work hard for the great lord, you can eat such food every day and you will be full!"
"Ah!"
Ivan heard someone next to him exclaiming.
He himself was shocked - he could eat such food every day, all he wanted!
My mind went blank, except for one thought, "Flower Town, food."
