Standing on the high platform, Owen looked at the audience talking about his lord, and couldn't help but straighten his back, his face showing the majesty that a lord should have.After a general glance, Owen shifted his gaze to the periphery to the left of the crowd.There, he saw a group of church members.Teresa, who was standing at the forefront, met Owen's gaze, and she smiled and nodded, as if encouraging.In the middle of the crowd below, Viru, Geeta, and Garcia were standing next to each other in the front row.They were talking and laughing with each other, not knowing what they were talking about.It's normal for Viru and Geeta to know each other, when did Garcia get on such good terms with those two?
Owen wondered.However, it also happens to show that Garcia has integrated into the life of Frontier Town, which is a good thing.Moving his gaze to the right, Owen also spotted the sisters Fanny and Lilika.Fanny, who is an older sister, is holding her sister high at the moment, and Lilika, eh?
Why was she holding a wooden basin with a big face in her hand?
Hey, no matter how big the "bowl" is, I can only scoop it for you, Owen complained in his heart.
[Is it in place in the crowd?]
】As soon as he finished scanning the crowd, Winster's voice rang in Owen's head.He came to witness the first public test explosion in Frontier Town, and by the way, to see how the crowd would react.
[Well, it's all arranged. 】Owen responded.Asking for help wasn't Owen's intention.But Winster said it would be embarrassing if there was a cold scene or if the audience didn't react as expected.He also said that it was already a common trick to ask for help over there, and it was not a fraud, so that Owen could use it without scruples.Just in case, Owen accepted Winster's offer.Spend money to hide in the crowd, and then cooperate with his speech to mobilize the emotions of the masses.
[Let's start talking.] 】Nodding his head, Owen raised his hand and waved it to silence those present.When the noise calmed down, Owen drove the magic around his throat, which had the effect of enhancing the sound."
Good afternoon, my lords.I'm the new lord of Frontier, Owen Eisen.I am bringing you all together at this time because I have a major decision to inform you. ”"I'm sure you've all heard of it.Two days ago, the Dongsheng envoy came here by boat, and as a lord, I personally came to the dock to greet me.As a result, the messenger informed me that Duke Eddy had detained the Templars at the Ascension Fortress on the grounds that the walls had not been repaired, and that we had taken refuge with him in the winter. ”Hearing this, the audience below appeared with all kinds of worried voices.There are also many people who have only heard the rumors and are skeptical.Now it is different to hear this from the mouth of the lord, which means that the rumors are true."
If you've ever looked at the northern wall, you'll know that it's been repaired.I also invited the messenger to come and check it out, but he refused!
I didn't even look at it, so I went back by boat.I showed enough sincerity, but they didn't appreciate it.Obviously!
Duke Eddie is deliberately targeting our frontier town. ”"Do you know why food prices have risen again recently?
That's because Dongsheng Fortress and Linshui City are in cahoots and wantonly raise the price of grain.Duke Eddie made it clear that he didn't want us to have a good life, and now he is forcing us to leave our homeland!
”The recent bad things are all related to Duke Eddie, and Owen intends to channel all his hatred to him, so that everyone can use it as an outlet to vent their dissatisfaction.It didn't work out badly, and there were already people in the crowd cursing Duke Eddie."
If we do what he wants, we will take refuge in the fortress of Dongsheng.When winter comes, the Frontier will become the territory of the undead, who will wreak havoc everywhere, leaving houses, fields, and everything that remains behind.When winter is over, our homes are in shambles, do you want to see that?
”"I don't want to!"
Tuo, who was in the crowd, shouted, and then some people followed.The audience's emotions were slightly aroused, but not yet fully aroused.It doesn't matter, Owen hasn't finished his words yet."
What's more, you don't have a place to live in the Dongsheng Fortress, and you can only hide in the slums to survive there.Without the original job, it is a problem to even fill the stomach.In the face of the cold winter, I can only huddle in the shack and freeze.Every winter, dozens or even hundreds of people starve to death or freeze to death in Dongsheng Fortress, do you want to be one of them or lose someone close to you?
”"I don't want to!
Please save us, Lord Lord!
”When it comes to their own life and death, the emotions of the masses can be easily mobilized.There was no need for help, but many people spontaneously shouted.More and more people shouted, "My lord, I beg you, don't abandon us. ”Very good, the effect is as I expected.Owen raised his hand at the right time to silence the crowd's voices."
Don't worry!
I will not give up on any of my lords.Rise to the fortress too.Moreover, I have already negotiated with the bishop here that a batch of food and home-grown hot magic stones will be provided, and the clergy will give them to everyone on my behalf, so that no one will go hungry or suffer from cold during the winter. ”The crowd immediately erupted in cheers, you can get something for free, who doesn't like it?
This can be regarded as a favor for the church, and they will be responsible for the almsgiving, and the poor people will be more grateful to the church.It can't be helped, because the little nobles are all gone.They were originally part of maintaining the normal operation of the border town, and as soon as these people left, it is estimated that the border town will soon be short of manpower.Therefore, Owen could only ask the church to help with the relief, and it was enough to declare to everyone that the supplies were provided by himself.As for the scorching magic stone, in addition to heating, there is also the intention of collecting ash powder in it by the way.Of course, in order to prevent someone from taking it back and hiding it and not using it, and then secretly selling it.When you collect it, you need to register your residence, and someone will collect the ash powder to supervise the use of the magic stone."
What about the undead monsters?"
After the cheers, many people calmed down and quickly realized this extremely serious problem.Without Templar support, will you be able to hold the northern wall this winter?
All of a sudden, the panic came up again, and many people felt that staying was going to die.That's where the next presentation comes in.If we can't make everyone recognize the power of black powder, then today's speech will be in vain.Clearing his throat, Owen raised his hand again and said, "Be quiet." ”The people present closed their mouths and looked up at the confident lord, wondering if he already had a solution.
