Obviously, it was only a square with more than 2,000 people, but the momentum was not much worse than the large gatherings of tens of thousands of people in later generations, Roland secretly sighed, the ability to echo is really useful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The main purpose of choosing these men was to set an example for the people - none of the three of them were nobles, Iron Axe was the sandfolk of the South, Kemo was the chief alchemist but had not been illustrious and had climbed through the ranks of apprentices, and Nanava was a witch.

There are aliens, commoners, and witches, and in the case of later generations, it is simply impeccable political correctness.

Roland hoped that through such a ceremony, he would instill in all the people his idea that frontier towns should only be based on merit, regardless of origin.

Roland personally handed him the gold medal with the emblem of the Grey Castle, gears, and wheat ear rings, and the soldiers of the First Army in the audience raised their hands and applauded, and many whistled.

"You should all know his name, Commander of the First Musket Team, Iron Axe!" Roland turned to face everyone, "Before the Demon Moon arrived, he was just an ordinary Orion in the town. None of the battles that have broken out in the border towns so far, Iron Axe has not been absent, and just the month before, he had led the soldiers of the First Army to the royal capital to rescue the fugitives from the eastern border who had been besieged by the evil plague! The more than 6,000 people who are now living outside the city walls were brought back by him!"

Most of the people in the square were aborigines and soldiers of the First Army, and serfs and fugitives accounted for only a few hundred, but the atmosphere was not cold at all under the mobilization of echoes. As soon as Roland spoke, the scene immediately resounded with the recognition and cries of the fugitives, and the intensity was not much worse than the applause of the First Army.

The iron axe also looked very excited, probably never thinking that he could also be favored by the prince as a member of the Mojin clan. He first performed the military salute formulated by Roland, and then knelt down on one knee to salute the knight of the kingdom.

"Get up, as a soldier, just a military salute. Roland laughed.

"Thank you...... Your Highness," his voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions.

The prince patted the Iron Axe on the shoulder comfortingly, handed him a hundred golden dragons, and then asked Kemo Stoll to stand in front of the stage.

"This one, you may be seeing him for the first time, he is from the middle of the kingdom, the chief alchemist of the Alchemy Workshop in Chishui City, Mr. Kaimo Strier!"

As soon as these words came out, the leaders took a breath one after another.

"Chief Alchemist, isn't that a sage who is respected and courteous in front of the king?"

"Just like the royal astrologers?"

"No, the status of the alchemist is higher than that of the astrologer, after all, no one can say whether the latter's prophecy will come true, and what the alchemist makes is at least real. ”

"And he's also from the Chishui City Alchemy Workshop, I heard that only the Wangdu Alchemy Association can compare to him!"

“......”

In the Four Kingdoms, alchemists and astrologers had a transcendent status, and for the common people, alchemists known as sages were more worthy of preaching than great nobles and lords. Roland was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone, he stretched out his hand and pressed down, and then said: "Although Mr. Stull did not personally participate in all the battles, the improvement of the musket several times, from single shot to burst fire, is inseparable from his chemical laboratory, which is also an important guarantee for the victory of the First Army. Without these alchemy-chemical products, the frontier towns could not truly win peace and tranquility. The prince paused for a moment, "By the way, the chemistry laboratory is currently recruiting trainee alchemists, and those who have completed the town's primary education popularization and passed the assessment can accept recruitment, and those who pass can not only get a good reward, but also have the opportunity to become an outstanding alchemy master like Mr. Strier!"

There was another commotion in the crowd, and Camo himself looked impatient, he took the medal, and said angrily, "That's what you're calling me for? ”

"This is a great opportunity for publicity, don't you often complain about the lack of manpower," Roland shrugged, "and when the laboratory doubles in size, I'm going to write Medium Chemistry and give it to you." ”

"Medium...... Chemistry?" Kemo immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

While focus is important, it is also urgent to train successors, and the larger the mass base, the easier it will be for the project to produce results, and the same is true for scientific research. Roland wasn't going to put all his eggs in one basket, and he certainly wouldn't let go of a perfect advertising time like this.

The last person was Nanawa.

Looking at the little girl who walked up to him and looked a little nervous, Roland couldn't help but feel emotional.

Compared to hiding and hiding in the Evil Moon, now, he finally plans to push the witch in front of everyone - after nearly half a year of foreshadowing, now that the town has ushered in the best situation, the choice of Nanava as the representative is also a choice he made after careful consideration: in the First Army, she is called an angel by the soldiers, and her reputation is higher than that of the Iron Axe, second only to himself. Many residents of the town have also received her treatment, whether it is a mine accident or a mechanical injury, everyone has developed the habit of going to the little angel for treatment when they are injured.

After repeatedly watching the performance of the play "A Witch's Tale", the serfs no longer resisted the witches as before, and the image of the woman in the play who had a twisted fate but had the courage to fight won the favor and sympathy of many people.

And the fugitives also survived because of Lily's ability, even if some people hated witches in their hearts, they would not speak ill of them after being rescued, not to mention that they were not vulnerable individuals who were chased by the church to hide in Tibet - at least in the border towns, these women with extraordinary abilities were protected by the lord.

And the most crucial point is that even if there are church believers who want to expose it, it is difficult to make any waves in the West. The town was completely under its rule, the church of the Fortress of Long Song was razed to the ground by Tifeco, and the church lost its stronghold to monitor the West. Unless they traveled farther to Falling Dragon Ridge and Chishui City, they couldn't find a single one of the reported priests.

"This is—" Before Roland could speak, the square erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Miss Nanawa! Miss Nanawa is here!"

"Miss Angel, thank you for curing my husband!"

"Little girl, if you have time, you must eat at my house, I have two chickens, whether it is steamed egg custard or stewed chicken soup!"

"Nanawa, she's looking at me!"

"No, it's looking at me!"

Nanava couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her eyes became moist. Roland believed that the other witches felt the same way she did at the moment—that they had finally been freed from the evil status imposed on them by the Church, and that they would be able to walk in the sun like ordinary people in the future. Roland smiled and patted her head, "Don't be afraid, just respond to everyone's enthusiasm." Don't forget, you're now the representative of the League of Witches. ”

"Uh-huh......" she sniffed, wiped away the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and bowed, "Thank you...... Thank you!" (To be continued.) )
