Chapter 1954: The First Gift: Tonight's Great Castle of the White Knights
(This chapter still needs to be revised, and it will be completed at about 12:10.)
On the west side of Olsztyn, a city in northern Poland, in the middle of the large and small lakes throughout the city, there is a stacked starburst-shaped building, lying low and flat between the lakes and farmland.
This is a typical fortress-style building. Its star shape is designed to resist cannonball attacks at sharp angles. The complex internal terrain can prevent cavalry charges and enemy attacks.
Such a fortress usually takes decades or hundreds of years to complete.
In the center of the starburst is a rather low and fortified castle. This kind of castle was specially optimized for modern warfare in the artillery era and has extremely strong defensive power.
However, as the times progressed and the power of artillery further increased, such fortresses and castles were also swept into obscurity.
But when viewed from the sky, its starburst architecture is really neat and beautiful.
Of course, because of its long history, many parts of this building have collapsed.
The cost of repairing such an ancient building is very high, which is why the Polish government is willing to return the building to its former owner.
But today, near this building, there are hundreds of cavalrymen wearing regular hussar armor, marching in formation, and on both sides of the road, there are thousands of people, shouting loudly and waving.
With various flags.
When Gu Xiaobai and Jiang Wei came to the top of "Yushka Castle", or "Tonight's White Knights Castle", they saw this scene.
"Huh, strange? So many people? Xiaobai, are those your followers?" Jiang Wei said in shock when he saw those knights.
In fact, he knew it wasn't the case without Gu Xiaobai answering.
On the ground, when the knights heard the roar from the sky, the queue stopped advancing, and then the entire team became a mess. Many people were crowded together, and some were almost stabbed by their companions' weapons.
Or get pushed off the horse.
In the sky, Gu Xiaobai and Jiang Wei slowly descended, and the two people standing on the flying sword lowered their heads.
Under their scrutiny, the knights below all lowered their heads in shame, and some even subconsciously reached out to cover the "Moon in the Clouds and Pegasus Knights" badge on their chests.
This badge is the emblem of Tonight's White Knights, but these people are not members of Tonight's White Knights.
They are imitating the real owner.
Fortunately, this embarrassing stare did not last long.
A car stopped next to it, and then an official ran over panting, raised his head and shouted to the sky: "Mr. Gu Xiaobai, are you here to take over the castle of the White Knights tonight?"
"Huh?" Gu Xiaobai was slightly surprised. Hearing this tone, it seemed that he didn't intend to set up any obstacles?
To be honest, he himself also prepared some backup plans.
If Poland doesn't intend to return what should belong to him, he doesn't mind another frozen Poland.
But now it seems that he may not have any means left.
"We have received the application... I originally planned to contact you, but I didn't expect you to come in person." The official came closer and asked, "Um... can you come down and sign the document?"
Gu Xiaobai descended, and Yun Zhongjun's visor opened, revealing his face.
Behind him, Jiang Wei continued to stand on the flying sword with his shoulders in his arms. His eyes swept around the area. Several people who wanted to get closer were forced back under his cold gaze.
Seeing Gu Xiaobai come down, the official breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and said: "The transfer of this castle was specially approved by the Energy, Climate and State-owned Assets Committee. Mr. Marek, the chairman of the committee, asked me to pay tribute to you.
.”
The official didn't know if Gu Xiaobai heard it, he only saw Gu Xiaobai nodded slightly.
But this official's duty is only to bring this sentence.
He pointed to the side and said: "As long as you sign, this building and the approximately 20 square kilometers of land nearby will become your property. However, some of the land in the middle is cultivated by farmers, because the law stipulates that you cannot evict
Farmers nearby, but you can buy their land, you have the first right to purchase, and all other rights and obligations are here... If you are willing, you can have your lawyer review it..."
Gu Xiaobai flipped through the document.
Regarding land management, taxation, maintenance funds, etc.
The content of the document does not matter.
To be honest, Gu Xiaobai didn't care at all whether it was related or not.
He signed his name and handed the document to the official.
"Congratulations, Dr. Gu Xiaobai, or I should call you Grand Master, you are now the master of this land and this castle." The official said, "I wish you a happy 18th birthday."
"Thank you." Gu Xiaobai nodded to the official: "Can I go in and take a look now?"
"Of course, this is your property now."
Beside, many people were listening attentively, although they were not close.
Hearing the officials' words, they actually burst into cheers.
“Congratulations to the host, your influence in Poland has reached 100% and you have become Poland’s ‘national idol’
Gu Xiaobai has not studied how the system's "influence bonus" works, but he estimates that the system's influence bonus should be similar to a "spiral of silence" that amplifies one voice and suppresses the other.
The voice of one side, until there is only one voice left in this society, those with different voices remain silent and dare not express their opinions, and slowly change their minds in a subtle way.
"What's this?"
"I'm afraid it's me."
What is the most developed industry in Poland? The most well-known is probably gaming.
When most people are not aware of it, Poland is quietly changing. “Congratulations to the host, your influence in Poland has reached 100% and you have become Poland’s ‘national idol’
