As soon as Verak said goodbye to Chris and Colin and got into the car, Elizabeth immediately started the car and drove towards the terminal. He sat in the passenger seat and looked at the cemetery fading away in the rearview mirror: "Can you tell me
Talk about that poem called Internachonelle that Chris wrote?”
"Don't you know?" Elizabeth regained her composure.
"Never heard of it." Verak said.
"stand up."
"Um?"
"Hungry and cold slaves. Rise up, all the suffering people of the world." Elizabeth dictated the content of the poem. "The blood in her heart has boiled. We must fight for the truth! The old world is in ruins, slaves, stand up! Don't say that we have nothing.
, we want to be the masters of the world! This is the final struggle. If we unite until tomorrow, Intana will surely be achieved. This is the final struggle. If we unite until tomorrow, Intana will be achieved.
accomplish!"
Verak soon came to his senses and realized that what Elizabeth said was the content of "Internachonelle". He listened quietly to Elizabeth after saying this, and was struck by the last sentence of "Intraconel"
It must be realized' stirred up emotions: "What is Internacional?"
"I said it was a poem written by Chris."
"No, I mean, in poetry, what does Internachonel refer to and what is it trying to achieve?" Of course Verak knew that this was a poem written by Chris, and what he wanted to know was, Poetry Rick
What Reese depicts.
"...I don't know." Elizabeth still can't understand many things in the Equality Society, and she naturally doesn't understand Chris's poem. "There's more to this poem than that. I only remember a small part, so I'll tell it to you."
Already."
Verak had no choice but to stop asking and wait until he went back to Morais to ask for a copy of the entire poem "Internachonelle". To be the name on Chris's tombstone, this name must be very important to him.
More than an hour later, the car drove back to the hotel next to the casino for members of the Equality Society.
"If you really want to understand Chris, consider the advice I gave you before." Verak said one last thing to Elizabeth before leaving, hoping that Elizabeth would not join blindly, but after understanding Chris's thoughts.
, make your own real choice.
"...Hmm." Elizabeth hesitated and nodded.
Verak got out of the car and when he climbed to the sixth floor to go back to his room, he found Nord wandering in front of his door.
Nord also saw Verak for the first time, walked forward and said, "I thought you were asleep, so I knocked on the door for a while."
"Didn't I say that I would go see Colin in the afternoon." Verak opened the door and went in with Nord to sit down. "What? You want to see me for something?"
"Isn't this boring? I don't like staying in the house all the time." Nord's problem arose when he was under house arrest by the Thomas family. At that time, he was locked in a room for more than a month, every day.
Only a glimmer of light could be seen through the cracks in the wooden boards nailed to the window. Since then, I no longer like to stay in the house for long periods of time.
"...Go and call them all over to discuss something." After meeting Colin, Verak's worries have been put down. Next, he will devote himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of the Equality Society and contribute his own strength to change the world.
.
As soon as Colin heard what Verak meant, he knew that something was going to happen, and he immediately hurried out and called Keating, Diaz, and Murphy in.
Soon, the five people sat around in the living room of Verak's room. Verak poured them a glass of water one by one: "A big problem at the moment is that, except for me and Teacher Keating, the three of you are all trying to save...
I just joined the Equality Society. This means that we are both members of the Equality Society now, but our motives and purposes for staying here are different."
"You want us to make a formal choice, right?" Diaz sat upright and asked.
"There is no doubt that I hope you stay, because you here are my few reliable companions. But the most important thing is up to you, and I cannot interfere with your decision. In the next period of time,
, I will take the three of you to have a deep understanding of why Equality was founded and what kind of world we are pursuing. By then, you will have a clear understanding of everything you have done, and then make a decision." Verak said.
After saying this, he realized that the current members of the Equality Society were very complicated. There were Elizabeth who joined for her lover, and Nord and Diaz who joined for their companions.
In the short term, their original intention may not have any impact on equality, but it will definitely become a big trouble in the future.
When there is no love, when there is no friendship, will they still stay?
The future new world that the Equality Society is determined to open will of course include these, but it is definitely not just this, because these are integrated with each other and cannot be separated. If you only join for your own love, friendship, or other purposes, how can everyone unite?
A united effort to find an all-encompassing answer?
Verak did not hope that most members of the Equality Society would have the same ideas as them in the future. That was not wrong, but it was definitely not correct.
"Eh? Verak, why don't you just start the training class that the Equality Society originally planned to arrange?" Nord's eyes lit up, remembering that the training class planned by the Equality Society was quite similar to what Verak said.
It might be better if they fit together.
"Should I lead a training class..." Verak remembered what Nord said when he picked him up. Some time ago, the Equality Association did plan to open a training class, focusing on training a group of new members and developing them into the backbone. "I also
I didn’t think so far, and I wasn’t sure I could take so many people with me.”
"Teaching us is teaching, and teaching them is teaching." Nord felt that this was very feasible, and encouraged Verak to implement it.
Verak groaned and thought for a long time: "...If there is a chance during this period, then I will go talk to Morais and give it a try."
Now Verak doesn't want to escape, there are things he wants to fight for.
"It will definitely work." Nord didn't know anything, but because of his trust in Verak, he wasn't worried about it at all.
"Heh." Verak chuckled.
He had previously given lectures to the key members of the Equality Association, and had an in-depth discussion of "On Equality" with Boyne and others. At that time, he was already familiar with the content of "On Equality" and had repeatedly studied Gram.
In the correspondence between Rhys and Francis, no one in the Equality Society could tell that he was a fake.
It is precisely because of this that after the news that he was a fake Chris spread among the cadres of the Equality Association, it caused an uproar and almost subverted the cognition of all of them.
"Murphy." Verak looked at Murphy, who was even less taciturn than Diaz. Murphy had short brown curly hair and a face that was more childish than Nord's, but there was a poise between his eyebrows that did not suit his age.
Because I have just recovered from a serious illness and am still gradually waking up, "Today is the first time we have met. I am very happy that you have recovered, and I am also very happy to see you."
"I'm glad to see you too." Murphy heard Verak calling his name and stood up cautiously.
"Sit down, sit down." Verak asked the young man to sit down, "You should be the youngest among the five of us."
"Yes, Nord is two years older than me." Murphy spoke Brexi word by word and sat down.
Verak made a calculation in his mind and said with emotion: "Then you are only twenty, and you are still very young. When I have time, I have to learn Monrego's fighting skills from you two brothers."
Diaz smiled at the side: "You can do it anytime."
"You are all young in my eyes." Keating said, "This is also the first time you and I have met. I am honored that although we are from different countries and have different pasts, we can now sit together for the same thing.
Together."
"You're welcome." Diaz politely bowed to Keating, and Murphy followed suit.
"Yes, I heard from Verac that you are very powerful. You used to be a minister of the Brexi Empire, and you are also a close friend of King Ravel." Nord has never dealt with such a big person, even though Keating has long been a prisoner.
, has just escaped from prison now, "It is our honor to know you."
Keating shook his head and looked at Verak with a smile: "There is no need to mention the past things again. Now that we are all members of the Equality Society, we can just focus on our current identity and future."
"Well, there's no need to be so polite. I'm calling everyone here because I want to get to know each other well and get to know each other better. We'll inevitably help each other in our future work." Verak motioned to the others to relax.
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
Verak stood up and went to open the door: "Comrade Morais."
"Well, everyone is here." Morais rushed over after finishing his work, "I arranged for Elizabeth to pick you up to visit Colin, have you gone?"
"I've been there, I just came back not long ago. Why don't we invite everyone here to get to know each other so that we can work together better in the future." Verak also came to the living room with Morais.
Morais sat on the sofa. Since everyone knew him, he did not introduce him: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that after we learned that you were pretending to be Chris, we also built a building for Chris.
Tomb, in the same cemetery as Colin’s.”
"I went to see Colin when I went to see him," Verak said.
"Before, because it was just an empty tomb, I didn't take it seriously. Now that I think about it, it should be quite meaningful to you." Morais took a sip of the water Verak poured for him.
"Speaking of this, I have something to ask you."
"What?"
Verak told Morais what he saw in the cemetery in the afternoon: "On Chris's tombstone, it only says 'Internachonelle'. Elizabeth said that this is a poem that Chris wrote before his death."
"Yes, I personally think that this is the greatest work that Chris has written besides The Theory of Equality. This poem is tragic and magnificent. It records our bloody sacrifices and is of great significance to the Equality Society. Because of his special status, in
Since his real name cannot be used during this sensitive period, we engraved the name of the poem he valued most on the tombstone." Morais explained the reason.
"When I came back, Elizabeth told me a part of the poem. I was deeply impressed by one of the lines, 'Intrachonal must be realized.' What does Intrachonal mean in this? It's us.
Will equality pursue a new world?" Verak asked.
"It can be said that." Morais said, "Internationalism refers to our ideals and the answer we pursue, the new world."
Verak was extremely curious about "Internachonaire". In his opinion, the phrase "Intenasonal must be realized", even if it is just said in a straightforward way, is like a loud and clear cry.
, the power contained in it was so great that he was deeply shocked after simply listening to Elizabeth read part of it: "I want a copy of the entire poem."
"This is simple. I still have several copies in my office. Just go and get them later." This was nothing to Morais, so he accepted it casually.
"There is also the matter of the training class." Nord reminded Verak.
"What?" Morais was puzzled.
Verak glanced at Nord, who was eager to let him give the lecture: "I heard that the Equality Association had prepared a training class before and planned to train some backbones, but because the relationship between you and Chloe is now very tense, the training class was shelved.
"
"That's the case." Morais felt uncomfortable when he mentioned the stubborn Chloe. "Since you were arrested and the Equality Association has endured many government crackdowns and spread the theory of equality on a large scale under pressure, we
Its influence has reached an unprecedented height, and it has gradually attracted a large number of members to join. At present, the total number of members in the four districts has exceeded 20,000."
"Twenty thousand people?" Verak couldn't believe it.
Before he left, the Equality Society had just experienced a heavy blow, and only a thousand people were surviving. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, their number had expanded to more than 20,000! If they give up the peace talks and act according to the original plan,
By increasing its influence again through the World Exposition, the number of members will probably double again!
"Well, don't worry. Although there are a lot more people, we haven't arranged for these people to do anything. We are just letting them understand some concepts." Morais returned to the topic, "In short, because we are worried about people from the government mixing in
Inside, we have never dared to rashly formalize them
Therefore, we considered cultivating a group of backbones and letting them be responsible for gradually selecting them and accepting new members one after another to enhance our strength. Unfortunately, due to conflicts between Chloe and I and constant internal problems, we did not take care of this for the time being.
Something. What, do you have an idea?"
"Looking at this, we urgently need a more complete system to absorb new members safely and reasonably." Verak learned that the Equality Society had more than 20,000 new members, but he did not dare to reuse them rashly. He had no confidence in this power for so long.
It's a pity that they haven't taken advantage of it. "I have considered taking a training class to train a group of backbones as soon as possible who are enough to cope with the current situation."
"Okay." Morais asked for it. In his eyes, Verak is simply the most suitable candidate. "If you are interested and confident, we can start making preparations for this matter again immediately."
