Release that Witch Chapter 481: City of Neverwinter
Roland got up very early on the agreed date.
Scrape off the scum on both cheeks, gather the long gray hair behind the head, tie it into a simple hair bundle, and finally trim the eyebrows with a small scissors. After living for one year, --, he has been very skilled These maintenance tasks do not require the help of a maid.
Looking at the slightly blurred silver mirror, I still feel a bit of a fairy-tale feeling in the mirror. If I wear a loose robe and match this dress, it is said to be hidden in the city of cultivator. Exaggerated.
Roland nodded in satisfaction and got up to go to the office.
And Barov is already waiting in the room.
"His Royal Highness," he saluted, "the flight messenger to Longsong Stronghold has been released, and it is expected that one hour will reach the stronghold castle."
"Yeah, how is the field layout done?"
"It was all completed yesterday afternoon, and it is currently enough to accommodate all the population of small town," Prime Minister responded.
"Good job," Roland complimented and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The Impassable Mountain Range and Hidden Forest in the distance are still white, Dawn is reflected on the snow, reflecting a ray of gold. On the recent small town streets, there can already be seen the active figures. They gathered in twos and threes to the west and went to the area of Maoshi City Wall.
As a defensive line against the Evil Beast attack last year, this stone-built city wall that relies on cement to build quickly can be said to have contributed, but now it has become the dividing line of the inner and outer urban areas of small town. Roland does not like this clear division of wealth and wealth, so apart from the monumental gap and the city block area, it will be a matter of time to demolish it. But before that, you can still make good use of it. The number of people before and after the -- city wall can far exceed the square. Therefore, Roland set the place of the city declaration in the middle of the stone wall.
According to the plan, in order to strengthen the impact of the construction of the city on the residents of the two places, Longsong Stronghold will also announce the construction of the city at the same time. The synchronization between the two places will be achieved by the flying messenger. When the first messenger arrives in the hands of Petrov, it is also Roland. On the occasion of the speech.
Now, the gray urn carrying the news should be spreading its wings between the mountains and Scarlet Water River. As usual, pass the paper strapped to the claws to the two places. Roland secretly thought, but it does not Know what news you carry and what significance it means. -- When it hits the ground, Border Town and Longsong Stronghold will all be together ... history.
"Let's set off," he gathered his thoughts and turned back.
"Yes, Your Highness." Barov smiled.
...
Petrov Hull step by step on the set wooden platform and look around.
There aren't many people in the square, at least not as much as when you had porridge a week ago.
This is not surprising. People care less about things other than food and clothing. Compared to the free wheat porridge, the ceremony of the city-building ceremony does not sound much related to ordinary people.
Even his own, His Royal Highness felt a little bit extra.
After the end of Months of Demons, fewer city dwellers applied to City Hall than they thought. The notice of recruitment of handyman and construction workers was posted for a week, and now less than half of the plan is recruited. Mouse seems to be showing signs of resurgence. At least the reports received by the police department are increasing, and just checking the authenticity has caused them a lot of headaches. A friend Ryan Dmitry complained to him that the arrest team had to at least double their manpower to get busy.
This is in line with Petrov's expectations.
The people are just like that, laziness, greed, and ignorance ... How much can His Highness pay for spending so much on them? What puzzles Petrov most is that Roland Wimbledon is obviously a royal family noble. Where did that inexplicable confidence in the people come from?
But no matter what, he has been firmly tied to the prince's chariot. All he can do is follow it to the end.
A croak came from a distance, and a gray figure appeared in the sky.
Petrov has prepared a prepared speech.
...
"Your Highness, it's almost time," reminded Barov.
The sun has risen to mid-air, and the shadow on the sundial plate points to nine o'clock. Roland nodded and walked to the fence of the tower. Seeing the prince's appearance, the noisy conversation below quickly turned into a enthusiastic cheer. The townspeople raised both hands one after another, and the crowd seemed to set off waves.
The black walls are full of people on both sides of the city wall. The total number is expected to exceed 20,000, which means that most of the residents of small town have gathered here at this moment. Roland is grateful that he did not hold a city-building ceremony in the central square, where there could not be so many enthusiastic people.
He waved his hands to both sides, lowering his voice, "My citizen guys, hello."
The sound expanded by Echo echoed above the town.
"I believe that everyone of you already knows what will happen today. This small town built for Northern Slope Mine will soon become a real city."
"In the past, Months of Demons was a nightmare for Border Town. In order to survive, everyone had to leave here and flee to stronghold. Today, we are firmly stationed here and want to destroy the peaceful Osman Ryan of Western Region. Falling down, Church who deliberately murdered witch and enslaved people rolled out of this land, and even attempted to destroy my Timothy Wimbledon failed to succeed -- Even if he turned the southern part of the kingdom and eastern region into a sea of fire, small town is still safe. , I think those people who have escaped to this point have a deep understanding. "
Roland's words quickly got a response from the crowd.
"Yes, he burned Eagle City, and Port of Clear Water was ransacked!"
"new King wiped out Golden Harvest City. Those Knight practices are no different from robbers, even more extreme!"
"He snatched my son and said he was going to act as a Kingdom Capital guard, gods ... he was only fifteen!"
The prince reached out and pressed down, "And these tragedies will not repeat themselves. The new city is built for this! Only by bringing more people together can we turn away the vicious enemies. Let them taste the price of wanton behavior. "He paused," And here is my city --. I promise that Roland Wimbledon will never leave any people who follow him. Even if Greycastle is unified, he will not leave here. ! "
There was an uproar immediately under the city walls.
"Your Highness, you ..." the Barov behind him was surprised.
Roland made a snoring gesture, "Yes, here will be the new Kingdom Capital of Greycastle, and the kingdom will be reborn here! I believe that the city will still be warm as spring, even when the endless frost comes. "He paused for a moment, then raised his right hand," From today, Border Town and Longsong Stronghold are combined into one, and its name is -- "
"Long live Neverwinter City!"
"Neverwinter City Long live -- Long live --!"
Everyone gets boiling, deafening slogan sounds through the sky, snow and fog rising on the side of the mountains, rolling Echo rolling along the mountains, endlessly ...
Roland looked at the cheering citizen, and was excited. The tinder of change has been sown, and one day he will see this cluster of stars cremating into Ebara, sweeping across the continent.
The fire of the stars is over
