Chapter 204: If you keep telling a lie, it becomes the truth (6)
The guild masters of the carpenters from all over the empire had gathered.
They wore expressions that looked as if they were ready to take up arms and kill enemies at any moment.
No, they were in a state where they would have no qualms about killing one or two people if it meant protecting the interests they had upheld for generations.
Tischler, the master of the Torino Carpentry Guild, had the same mindset as them.
‘For the sake of myself and my children, the guild system must be preserved.’
If Fabio had been there, just by looking at their expressions, one would have mocked them, thinking they were like the righteous volunteer soldiers who fought with their lives during the Japanese invasions of Korea. They all had the resolve to fight to the death.
The representative of the Florence Carpentry Guild, the guild master of Florence, opened his mouth with great weight.
“Our ancestors created the guild system to preserve our crafts during the empire’s turbulent times.”
The Florence Guild master represents all the guilds in the region, but in reality, he is just a representative. His actual standing is essentially equal to the others, and it’s impossible for him to interfere with other guilds.
Even though he’s a representative, he still has to use respectful language.
“Thanks to the guilds that have been passed down from our ancestors to us, the empire has been able to progress. We’ve blocked the decline of ancient techniques and continuously developed them.”
Overall, this wasn’t entirely incorrect.
