Release that Witch - Chapter 488

[Chapter 481 Neverwinter City]

When the agreed day of building the city came, Roland got up very early.

Shaved off the stubble on both cheeks, gathered the long gray hair behind his head, tied it into a simple hair bundle, and finally trimmed his eyebrows with small scissors. Manage work without the help of a maid.

Looking at the slightly blurred silver mirror, the self in the mirror still has a somewhat fairy-like feeling. If you wear a loose robe and match this outfit, you will not be surprised if you say that you are a practitioner hiding in the city. Pass.

Roland nodded in satisfaction, got up and went to the office.

And Barov was already waiting in the room.

“Your Highness,” he saluted, “the flying courier to Longsong Fortress has been released, and it is expected to arrive at the fortress castle in half an hour.”

“Well, how is the scene arrangement going?”

“It was all completed yesterday afternoon , at present, it is enough to accommodate the entire population of the town,” the manager replied.

“Good job,” Roland praised, and walked slowly to the French windows.

The Impassable Mountain Range and Misty Forest in the distance are still white, and the morning sun reflects on the snow, reflecting wisps of golden light.

On the streets of the nearby town, active figures could already be seen. They gathered in twos and threes towards the west and headed for the Maoshi city wall area.

As the line of defense against the attack of evil beasts last year, this stone city wall that relied on cement and quickly piled up can be said to have contributed a lot, but now, it has become the dividing line between the inner and outer parts of the town.

Roland didn’t like this clear division of symbols of rich and poor, so apart from the commemorative gap section and tower area, it would be a matter of time before they were completely demolished.

But before that, you can make good use of it-the number of people in front of and behind the city wall far exceeds the square, so Roland set the location of the city declaration in the middle of the stone wall.

According to the plan, in order to strengthen the influence of the construction of the city on the residents of the two places, Longsong Fortress will also announce the construction of the city at the same time, and the synchronization of the two places will be realized by the flying messenger. When the first messenger flies to Peiluo, it will be Roland on stage. On the occasion of a speech.

Now, the gray falcon carrying the news should be flying between the mountains and the Chishui River, passing the note tied on its claws to the two places as usual, Roland thought to himself, but it didn’t know, What kind of news did I carry, and what kind of significance did it have? From the moment it landed, Border Town and Longsong Fortress together… will become history.

“Let’s go,” he collected his thoughts and turned his head.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Barov smiled.

…

Pelor Hermon climbed onto the wooden platform set up step by step, and looked around.

There were not many people in the square, at least it was far less than the scene when the porridge was distributed a week ago.

This is not surprising. People care very little about things other than food and clothing. Compared with the free wheat porridge, the ceremony of the city building ceremony sounds less related to ordinary people.

Even he himself felt that His Highness was unnecessary.

After the end of the evil month, fewer city residents applied to the city hall for jobs than they thought. The notices for recruiting handymen and construction workers were posted for a week, and now the number of recruits is less than half of the plan.

And the rats seem to be showing signs of resurgence. At least the police department has received more and more reports. Just checking the truth and falsehood has given them a big headache.

His friend Ryan Meade complained to him that the arresting team had to at least double the number of people in order to keep busy.

This is quite in line with Pedro’s expectations.

The people are like this, lazy, greedy and ignorant… His Highness spends so much time on them, how much can he get in return?

What puzzled Pei Luo the most was that Roland Wimbledon was obviously a royal nobleman, so where did that inexplicable confidence in the people come from?

But no matter what, he has been firmly tied to the prince’s chariot, and all he can do is follow to the end.

There was a cry of an eagle in the distance, and a gray figure appeared in the sky.

Perot unfolded the speech he had prepared in advance.

…

“Your Highness, it’s almost time,” Barov reminded.

The sun has risen in the sky, and the shadow on the sundial disk points to the nine o’clock position.

Roland nodded and walked to the fence of the tower.

Seeing the prince’s appearance, the noisy conversation below quickly turned into unanimous warm cheers. The townspeople raised their hands one after another, and there seemed to be waves in the crowd.

Both sides of the city wall were full of dark crowds, the total number of people was estimated to exceed 20,000, which meant that most of the town’s residents had gathered here at this moment.

Roland was glad that he didn’t hold the city building ceremony in the central square, which simply couldn’t accommodate so many enthusiastic people.

He waved his hands to both sides, and lowered his voice, “My fellow citizens, hello.”

The amplified sound reverberated above the town.

“I believe that each of you is aware of what is about to happen today. This small town built for the North Slope Mine will soon become a real city.

” It was a nightmare. In order to survive, everyone had to leave this place and flee to the fortress to take refuge. Now, we are firmly stationed here, and Osmond Lane, who wanted to destroy the peace of the Western Region, has fallen. He deliberately murdered witches and enslaved the people The church got out of this land, and even Timothy Wimbledon, who tried to destroy me, failed—even if he turned the southern and eastern borders of the kingdom into a sea of flames, the town was still safe and sound. This, I think those people who fled here have a deep understanding.”

Roland’s words quickly got echoes from the crowd.

“That’s right, he burned Eagle City, and Port Clear Water was looted!”

“The new king swept Jinsui City, and those knights did nothing different from robbers, and even went so far!”

“He looted My son, he said he was going to serve as the guard of the royal capital, gods…he is only fifteen years old!”

The prince stretched out his hand and pressed down, “And these tragedies will never happen again, and the new city is built for this! Only by uniting more people can we keep the vicious enemies out and let them try The price of reckless behavior.” He paused, “And this is my city – I hereby promise that Roland Wimbledon will never leave any of his people behind, even if Graycastle is unified, he I won’t leave here either!”

There was an uproar under the city wall.

“Your Highness, you…” Barov behind him said in surprise.

Roland made a silent gesture, “Yes, this will become the new capital of Graycastle, and the kingdom will be reborn here! I believe that even if the endless cold comes, this city will still be as warm as spring! He paused for a moment, then raised his right hand, “From today onwards, Border Town and Longsong Fortress will be merged into one, and its name is—”

“Long live Neverwinter!”

“Long live Neverwinter—— —!”

Everyone was boiling, the deafening slogans resounded across the sky, snow and mist rose from the side of the mountains, and the rolling echoes rolled up and down along the mountains for a long time…

Roland looked at the cheering citizens, his heart was agitated endlessly.

The seeds of change have been sown, and one day, he will see these sparks turn into a prairie fire, sweeping the entire continent.
