Chapter 247: Graduation Ceremony

"Look, that's Lord Scroll," Piper whispered his elbow against Gilly, "I heard she's the Minister of Education. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Education...... Minister?" the latter asked, puzzled, "what is that?"

"It's the person who manages the teacher. Don't you like Mr. Filmin the most, and hate the loud Harben the most? Piper explained, "Whether it's Filmin or Haben, they're all under the authority of Lord Books. ”

"Where did you hear that?" Gilly blinked, "the big guy you spoke of again?"

"Well, of course," he smirked, "and that's more than I know." At today's graduation ceremony, not only the officials of the city hall will come, but even the lord will also come to the academy in person, His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Really?" the little girl's eyes lit up, "Will Your Highness talk to us?"

"Uh...... I don't know," Piper touched the back of his head, "probably." ”

After all, he also heard it from Brother Vanna - speaking of Vanna, he is a great character, originally just an ordinary stonesmith in the old street, and since joining the militia, he has immediately become the leader of the squad that commands several people. Now, he is an officer in the artillery team of the First Army, with a salary of up to twenty-five silver wolves per month, and he has also shook hands with His Royal Highness the prince and talked to him!

Although he lived in the camp most of the time, he always brought many new and interesting stories and insights with him when he returned. At this time, Piper would come to his door and pester him with questions, and as a former neighbor and admirer of Big Brother Vanna, Piper could often get a lot of information from him in advance.

For example, the lord's attendance at the graduation ceremony was told by Vanna himself - as early as a week earlier, the First Army had received orders for protection and vigilance, and had held an exercise near the academy building.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of energetic and well-dressed soldiers to walk over, and the two in the middle of the team were none other than His Royal Highness the Prince and his chief knight.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

After the soldiers surrounded the entrance to the academy building, Roland walked into the hall and waved to the students lined up, "Hello, my lords. I'm Roland Wimbleton, Lord of the Frontier and Head of the West, and congratulations on completing all the basics of elementary education and becoming one of the town's first graduates. ”

The crowd was dumbfounded, not indifferent, but most of them were so excited that they didn't know what to say.

Gilly grabbed Piper's arm and said, "Your Highness is talking to us!"

Piper was also excited, and in this way, he had also been close to His Highness like Brother Vanna.

"The reason why you were able to pass the assessment so quickly and graduate is because most of you were students of Carl Van Burt and were much ahead of others from the beginning. So don't be complacent, there is still a lot of knowledge in this world waiting for you to explore and discover. Roland continued, "Of course, this day is still worth celebrating, and you have embarked on a very different path from today to everyone else. No matter what kind of work you dedicate yourself to, you can reap the rewards handsomely. I would like to congratulate you!"

"Your Highness...... Hooray!" I don't know who shouted first, and then everyone shouted excitedly, "Long live Your Highness! I am willing to serve Your Highness!"

Waiting for the cheers to subside, Roland smiled: "Next, I will give you the graduation certificate as a proof of honor for completing your studies." He opened a pamphlet, "Piper." ”

Piper only felt a shudder as he looked at the prince and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Teacher Filyn Silt beckoned to him, "Don't be afraid, come to Your Highness." ”

He walked out of the line stiffly, his heart pounding, and suddenly he remembered the military salute that Vanna had so often mentionedβ€”a much simpler than the knightly salute of the nobles, and a sign of allegiance, or a ritual invented by His Highness himself. Although he didn't know the exact position, he mustered up the courage and raised his hand to his forehead as he remembered.

This made the prince laugh, and he nodded, and handed the book to Piper, "It would be more standard if you moved your hand back a little further and put it on the edge of your ear...... Congratulations on graduation. ”

"Thank you...... Thank you," Piper took the manual and walked back to the line almost like a log. It wasn't until His Highness began to issue graduation certificates to others that he came back to his senses.

"Show me, what's written on it?" Gilly tilted her head curiously.

"You have it too, what's the hurry," he muttered in a low voice, and with trembling hands he flipped open the cover of the certificate, only to see a fine piece of parchment sewn inside. In the upper left corner, his head is drawn, and in the center is the royal emblem of the Grey Keep's spear, with several lines of text written on it. Half a year ago, he could only go to Mr. Carl to tell him the meaning of these characters, but now, Piper can do the most basic reading and writing, and he silently reads it in his heart-

Frontier Town College first graduate: Piper.

Dean: Scrolls.

Issued by: Lord of Bordertown, Roland Wimbleton.

......

After all the graduation certificates were issued, Roland clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention, "From now on, you can take on some jobs that ordinary people are not qualified for, and these jobs are well paid, starting from ten silver wolves per month. Next, I would like to ask Ms. Shujuan to introduce to you the work provided by the city hall of the border town. He raised his hand and stopped everyone's discussion, "You don't need to make a choice immediately, you can go back and discuss it with your family first, and then go to the city hall with your ID card and graduation certificate to apply." ”

While Lord Scroll was being introduced, Gilly leaned over and asked, "Do you have an idea?" I want to work in a bicycle factory with a higher salary than my dad and a chance to get a new car for free!"

"Great," Piper replied nonchalantly, as four large wooden plaques with portraits of His Highness and several ministers had recently been erected in the town square, and the strangely shaped iron mounts of several adults had caused a lively discussion among the townspeople. Moreover, the salary of the depot is fifteen silver wolves per month, and if it were not for the fact that only those who must complete primary education can sign up, I am afraid that it would have been crowded long ago.

But he had more places he wanted to go.

Ever since visiting the ceremony, Piper has had the irrepressible idea that he wants to be like his former classmate Nanawa, who one day can climb the high platform of the square and receive the honor from His Highness in front of thousands of people.

According to His Royal Highness the Prince, a person must have made an outstanding contribution to the town in order to be eligible for the award. If you work in a bicycle factory, I'm afraid that you won't have this opportunity for the rest of your life. He can't lead the army into battle like an iron axe, and he doesn't have the incredible abilities of a witch, and the only one he can emulate is the chief alchemist, Kamo Strour.

He had heard more than once before that if he could find a practical alchemy product, he could bring great wealth and prestige to the territory, and achieve the name of a sage. You don't need to be brave or bloodline, you just need a little luck...... There is no better path for him than this.

Thinking of this, Piper made up his mind.

"I'm signing up to go to the chemistry lab. He said word for word. (To be continued.) )
