Chapter 471: Three Dolls
Chapter 471: Three Dolls
"Today is destined to be a day to remember. ”
Rych's voice was smooth and loud, loud enough for hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Heavenly Lyre Holy City to hear every word he said. At this time, Leitch was standing in front of the bell tower, and as his gaze slowly scanned the surroundings, everyone involuntarily held their breath.
"It's not because there will be a thousand knights among you, and it's not because the Black Wind Knights have completed the expansion - no matter how brave the thousand knights are, there will be a day when the horse leather shroud, and no matter how powerful the knights are, they may be buried in the dust of history, but one thing is eternal, and that is the virtue of knights!"
"Today, I will give you the eight virtues that you should have as a knight!"
As he spoke, under the surprised and puzzled gaze of everyone, three more dolls suddenly appeared in Retch's left hand, and a thin and soft wire was twisted in his right hand.
Noticing the puzzled expressions of many people, Leitch smiled slightly: "Now, I will tell you the first virtue that a knight should have—humility!"
"But before I can do that, I need help from someone. As he spoke, Leitch turned his head slightly to look at the upper right under the high platform, where dozens of bards from different regions were seated.
Because at the beginning of the construction of the Holy City of Lyra, this square was intended to host some large-scale events or ceremonies, so it resembles an open scallop, with two shells opening in a north-south direction, and there are enough seats for 50,000 people on it!
In the center of the plaza was a relief of the Flame Weaver Witch standing in the center of the Magic Fountain, but now it has been converted into a ten-meter-high bell tower, and a few high-ranking members of the Black Wind Territory such as Reich and Mavis stand in front of the bell tower.
Most of the 50,000 seats were reserved for the citizens of the city or for travelers from other places, but a few were booked early in the morning, and these special seats were divided into several sections—federal nobles, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, eminent craftsmen, and troubadours.
There were not a few federal nobles who came to watch the ceremony this time, there were hundreds of people, but most of them were not the deities, but their blood relatives, or fiefdom knights and the like, including the court barons who came with the congratulatory gifts of the ten lords.
Of course, a considerable number of these chamber of commerce representatives did not come to watch the ceremony, especially those from far away, just because their trade route just passed through the Starmist Valley and stayed in the Heavenly Lyra Holy City for a while. But that's not what Leitch cares, anyway, as long as he catches his eye, he will send them an invitation letter!
Although the merchants on the mainland control the vast wealth, even in a more enlightened country like the Dawson Federation, the status of merchants is far lower than that of the nobles, and under normal circumstances, merchants are not eligible for special treatment in some important activities. However, as a traverser, Richie's mind and vision are certainly not as narrow as ordinary nobles; on the contrary, Richie attaches great importance to those powerful chambers of commerce, or he values the wealth they possess - because of the war, the fight is originally gold! For this reason, Richie also deliberately established a Black Wind Chamber of Commerce that only serves himself!
As for why he specially prepared seats for the representatives of these chambers of commerce, of course, it was in order to show his 'teeth' to these chambers of commerce! Deeply influenced by his previous life, Leitch was convinced that strong muscles could give his partners a sense of security!
The Outstanding Craftsmen section is a little more complicated, and at the same time it is extra unexpected, such as the nobles and other high-class people look at it and frown, while the ordinary citizens are surprised from the bottom of their hearts, and they can't stop envious—high-level alchemists, high-level enchanters, and top-level blacksmiths, except for the superb skills they have mastered, they are powerful awakened themselves, and no one will question their qualifications; These potters are incredible, because in the eyes of the upper class, no matter how outstanding their craftsmanship is, they are just something that cannot be put on the table, and how can they be qualified to enjoy this special honor?
Therefore, it is not surprising that many alchemists, enchanters, and the like in the craftsman's table are secretly indignant that these lowly mortals such as the brewer can sit in the same area as themselves! But this is after all from the arrangement of the lord, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they are not qualified to criticize Rich's arrangement, but they are really reluctant to take the initiative to refuse this honor! So these people can only sit in their places with unhappy faces and sulk secretly......
As for the final bard part, it is equivalent to the reporter at the press conference. Having experienced the baptism of the information explosion era, Leitch is very clear about the influence of these pen sticks who have mastered the skills of mouth escape, whether it is to improve his reputation, or to promote his own ideas or slogans, he must use these otherworldly trumpets! However, compared with the earth where information is too transparent, these troubadours on the continent are undoubtedly much better controlled.
"Come, please come over to that beautiful elf lady, I need your help. ”
The wind elf pointed at by Leitch choked her lips with both hands in disbelief, and after watching repeatedly, while connecting her fingers to herself, and getting Leitch's approval, she trotted to the bell tower under the envious and jealous gaze of her peers.
By the time he reached Rych, the Wind Elf troubadour was slightly out of breath and blushing. However, as an awakened person, of course, she couldn't be nervous because of the insignificant running just now.
"Don't worry, or if you pass out accidentally, it won't be me asking you for help, but I'll be lending you a helping hand. Leitch quipped as he stared at the ebb and flow of the twin peaks.
"Haha-" Although there was no laughing point in Leitch's words, he was immersed in the solemn atmosphere before, and suddenly made many people laugh out loud instinctively.
And under the laughter of countless people, the face of the wind elf bard seemed to be even redder. However, as a veteran bard with the Wind Bard realm (Fourth Order), she still quickly controlled her mood swings. However, when looking at Leitch's handsome and sunny face, it seemed that her gaze was always slightly evasive......
"It's a megaphone, you can call it a microphone. Seeing that the bard had calmed down, Leitch handed him a small microphone and smiled and encouraged, "You can try talking to it." ”
Of course, unlike those microphones on Earth that rely on the conversion of electrical signals and sound signals, the microphone that Leitch took out is actually an alchemical device, and its core is a magic array of amplification, which can amplify and expand the speaker's voice. As for why he didn't take it out before, of course, it was because Leitch didn't need it. However, looking at the soft and weak appearance of the wind elf in front of him, although the other party also has the strength of the fourth order, Lei Qi felt that it was better to help her, and he could also promote this new alchemy equipment of his own by the way.
"Hey—" The Wind Elf whispered into the microphone in her hand, and then she was surprised to find that her voice had been amplified many times, even reaching a kilometer away from the square!
This made everyone look at the small 'wooden stick' in the hand of the wind elf in amazement, and even many people stood up involuntarily, and then under the indignant scolding of the person behind them, they returned to their original position. However, thinking of the words 'megaphone' mentioned in Leqi's words just now, most people were quickly relieved - although they couldn't figure out the principle of the microphone being able to amplify sound, they thought it should be a new alchemy device produced by the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce!
The most surprising was undoubtedly the Wind Elf Troubadour herself, but as a veteran troubadour, she undoubtedly had excellent professional qualities, and in the blink of an eye she controlled her emotions, and then began to say in a sweet voice: "Hello everyone, I am Natalie, a singer from Wind Chimes!"
With that, Natalie put away the microphone and stood quietly under Leitch with her hands behind her back. I have to say that with Natalie's youthful and delicate appearance, exquisite figure, and her extraordinarily sweet voice, she really won the favor of many people for a while.
However, as for the 'Wind Chime Ferry' mentioned in Natalie's self-introduction just now, no one present had ever heard of it. However, many of her peers who had sat next to Natalie before were shocked and looked at her with even more envy and hatred—because Wind Chime Ferry is a place of fame and history, and it is no less than the Bard organization of the Dawn Valley Song Academy! Of course, Wind Chime Ferry's fame is mainly on the mainland of Oakland in the north of Blanca.
"Well, now I need Ms. Natalie to do me a favor. With that, Ricky handed Natalie one of the three dolls in his left hand, then handed her a soft iron wire, and then took the alchemy microphone in Natalie's hand, and said, "Please thread this wire through this doll's left ear, and then keep pushing this wire." ”
Although Natalie didn't understand the purpose of Reich's request, she carefully followed Reitch's instructions to thread the wire through the doll's left ear, and then pushed the wire inside. After a few moments, Natalie was surprised to find that one end of the wire was sticking out of the doll's mouth!
"As you can see, the wire is coming out of the doll's mouth. At this time, Leitch had naturally acted as Natalie's narrator, and as he spoke, Leitch took the doll from Natalie's hand, then put another doll in the other person's hand, and said, "Please repeat what you just did." ”
And then soon everyone saw that the wire was piercing through the other ear of the doll! These two strange phenomena made everyone more and more curious and anticipating what was going to happen next!
As you can see, the wire came through the other ear of the second doll. As he spoke, Leitch took the second doll from Natalie's hand again, put the last doll in the other's hand, and smiled, "Now please repeat the previous action again." ”
Although it was boring to constantly thread wire, Natalie was not the slightest impatient, on the contrary, she was full of interest, and her pupils lit up with a bright color in the depths of her pupils.
And the third time, even though Natalie stabbed the entire wire into the doll, she still didn't see the wire sticking out of the other exit like before, but completely submerged into the doll's body!
At this time, Leitch took the doll from Natalie's hand, held it high together with the two previous dolls, and said aloud: "My knights, this is what I want to tell you - those who tell right and wrong always can't keep secrets, and those who talk like the wind in their ears are always indifferent, and only like the third doll, keeping secrets in their stomachs, is the credibility of a knight's loyalty!"
"This is the first virtue I have bestowed upon you—humility!"
