Origin World Chapter 274 A Sacrifice That Has Not Been Brought Up
"Wuhu ~ Hero!" everyone cheered loudly.
"Alright, please heroes, let's play!" the city lord of Thor City signaled, and suddenly, several people who had been pushed out by the Thor royal family and the wolf hunting guild all walked up the steps in the center of the square, including both wolf hunters and rope guards.
"Aren't you going up yet?" Glancing back at Li Ruochu, the city lord of Thor City asked softly.
"City Lord, I don't have a leg injury!" Being carried here by the city lord and put down, Li Ruochu was shocked by the crowd in front of him, and forgot that his leg was in a state of injury, and was asked by the city lord at this time, and hurriedly covered his leg and sat on the ground.
"Still pretending?" the city lord of Thor City couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Hehe, the city lord is really powerful, then I'll go back when I go!" Li Ruochu stood up, touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and then jumped off the protruding platform in the eyes of everyone in the square, and landed perfectly beside the few people who were already standing in the center of the square and were about to accept the award ceremony.
"Huh~ The lover is really, scared to death!" Looking at Li Ruochu who jumped down, Hua Yao, who followed the city lord of Sol City into the Sol Palace, rushed into the protruding platform, but saw Li Ruochu landing smoothly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's really getting more and more incomprehensible to Brother Ruochu!" As Hua Yao rushed into the platform, Han Shulan also walked over slowly, muttering a few words beside the city lord of Sol City, I don't know if he really couldn't understand Li Ruochu, or if he deliberately said it to the city lord of Sol City, anyway, the intention of it can't be figured out for the time being.
"Let's go down! it's time to give them awards!" As if he didn't care about what Han Shulan said, the city lord of Thor City turned around and walked towards the hall on the first floor, and the Suo guards and ministers in the rear all gave him their places.
Li Ruochu and the others stood in a row under the gaze of all the residents of Sol City, enjoying this short period of attention, and after a while, the gate of the Sol Palace was slowly opened.
The gate is made of 10,000-year-old wood wrapped in white marble, weighs hundreds of kilograms, and requires the combined efforts of several Suo guards to push it.
The heavy and ornate gate set off a hurricane that blew on the faces of the crowd and made everyone awe.
Looking inside the gate, the guards were stepping out from inside, and their neat steps shook everyone's hearts.
The sound stopped suddenly, and the guards stood in two rows, looking at each other, and suddenly, a rolled red carpet rolled out from the depths of the palace, forming a long path leading to the depths of the palace for only three people to walk side by side.
Looking down the path towards the depths of the palace, the city lord of Sol City, dressed in a golden mopping robe, was stepping on the red carpet and slowly walking outward.
The golden robe is printed with the totem of the phoenix on the back, and when worn on the body of the city lord, it is like a phoenix with wings spread and flying high, which is worthy of the royal family of Sol City, and it really has an almost perverted love for the phoenix!
Looking at the city lord of Thor City who had deliberately changed his clothes, Li Ruochu's eyelids trembled slightly, he remembered that the city lord was obviously wearing civilian clothes before, and it was very strong to be able to change clothes in less than a few breaths!
"Everyone, I'm glad you can stand up for the defense of Thor, and standing here means that you have received everyone's approval!" the Lord of Thor City walked to the side of the group, and beside him came two ministers with trays in hand.
On the tray of each minister were placed several medals, and on top of the medals, the totem of the phoenix was unusually conspicuous and bright.
"That's ......"
"It's the Order of the Phoenix!"
Some of the people in the crowd recognized the medal, and the audience was in an uproar.
Looking at the medal in his eyes now, the people who were standing in a row to accept the award ceremony showed a look of shock, they performed well in the defense of Thor City, they finally thought that they would only receive some gold coins, after all, it was not the first time that the bloodthirsty wolf attacked Thor City, in previous years, they would attack almost once or twice a year, but the scale was relatively small, and they had almost no casualties in Thor City, but they didn't expect it to be the Phoenix Medal!
What is the Order of the Phoenix? It is a symbol of the royal family! It is something more precious than the jade pendant of the phoenix, and it can be compared with the existence of the direct line of the royal family!
"It seems that everyone already knows! That's right! This is the Order of the Phoenix!" Looking at the people who were in an uproar all around, the voice of the city lord of Thor City spread throughout the audience, and the audience also fell silent in an instant.
"Everyone will definitely be puzzled, obviously the bloodthirsty wolf attacks our Sol City every year! and in previous years, it was a hasty matter to reward some coins, but this year is different, this year's bloodthirsty wolf's attack is ferocious, so ...... I deserve to reward them with the Order of the Phoenix!" said Thor.
After a moment of silence, the audience burst into warm applause, and everyone looked excitedly at the people who were about to receive the medal, how they wished that they were standing on the stage! Because then they could get the Phoenix Medal, which was undoubtedly a step to the sky in this Sol City.
"The city lord is really a big deal!" Two men in gray robes stood on the roof of a house not far from the square, arms folded.
"Hmph! Others don't know! We still don't know! Didn't he just see Li Ruochu's talent and wanted to pull him into the royal family!" said one of the two gray-robed men, who lifted off the robe and hat that covered his face, revealing a man wearing monocles, who was none other than Xu Po.
And the other person, it was Shao Liang, as soon as they listened to Captain Liu Yundi's instructions, they quickly rushed to the vicinity of the Sol Crown, because the Wolf Hunting Guild and the Sol Crown were very quiet, so they didn't delay too much time, and they came here, just in time for the start of the award ceremony.
"But this is also a fact, when we promote Li Ruochu, we should understand!" Shao Liang said.
"Alas! yes!" Xu Po sighed helplessly.
"What do you think of what that person said?" asked Shao Liang.
"I don't know! What I do know is that if they all go there, it will undoubtedly be fatal to those werewolves!" Xu Po looked into the distance with a solemn face, covered his face with his hat again, and then left this place silently with Shao Liang.
......
The award ceremony went smoothly, and in the eyes of everyone, the city lord of Thor City wore a medal on the chest of everyone standing on the stage, but when he put a medal on the last Li Ruochu, he specially whispered a word in his ear.
When the meeting is over, remember to return to the crown, he still has something to tell Li Ruochu, this is what the city lord of Sol City whispered in Li Ruochu's ear, after speaking, the city lord of Sol City bowed to the two, and then slowly walked towards the palace.
Li Ruochu was stunned in place, and he didn't come to his senses until the city lord of Sol City returned to the palace, not because of what the city lord said before, but because the city lord never said anything about those who sacrificed for Sol City, not even mentioning it.
Li Ruochu's heart was a little cold at this time, in stark contrast to the others standing on the stage, each of them was excited, and their hearts were excited, because they already had the Phoenix Medal, and they were different from the past today!
......
Soon after, in front of the palace of the city lord, Li Ruochu stopped here and waited.
Li Ruochu no longer knew how he returned to the palace, only that the cold in his heart made him breathless, and his brain was blank.
"Come in!" At this moment, the voice of the city lord came from inside the gate in front of Li Ruochu.
Li Ruochu was almost sober, and after hearing the words of the city lord, he pushed the door and entered.
Pushing open the door, an unknown breath suddenly came to my face, this is a faint fragrance on a woman's body, which can never be the smell of a big man's house.
Smelling this smell, Li Ruochu subconsciously came back to his senses, and his mind was clearer than ever.
didn't care about the decoration around the room, Li Ruochu's eyes stared directly at the screen in the center of the room, behind the screen there was a figure of a person, but he couldn't tell whether he was tall or short, whether he was a man or a woman, and whether he was the lord of Sol City.
After all, what big man would put a screen in his room!
"You're here?" A voice from the city lord of Thor City came from behind the screen, and Li Ruochu, who dispelled the doubts in his heart, his face sank.
"City Lord, why? Why are you doing this?" said Li Ruochu with a full of anger.
"I don't know what you mean?"
"Why didn't you mention those who sacrificed for the city of Thor at the award ceremony? Instead, you deceived the eyes of the masses with rich rewards? I thought that as a city lord, I should care about the people and think about the people at all times, but what about you? I don't ask you to hide from those who have lost their relatives, you can even mention it, at least don't let their sacrifice be in vain!"
"Is this the case?" the city lord behind the screen understood, and then asked Li Ruochu about his arrival, "Then what do you think I should do? Should I tell the story of their tragic sacrifice with tears on my face? Or should I let the families of those who died come to the stage and award them medals?"
"They have lost their loved ones, should they still know about these things? What will they think in their hearts? Will they be proud? Proud of their husbands, their living children who gave their lives to protect the city of Thor?" said the lord of the city of Thor, "No! No! That will only add to their grief!"
What the city lord of Thor City said is not unreasonable, this is like a phenomenon of poor students in society, those who have been given poverty subsidies have not only been released their names, but even told their awards in front of everyone, are they happy?
After all, no one wants everyone to know what they're up to, but ...... This is not comprehensive after all.
Li Ruochu hesitated for a moment, and began to ponder the words of the city lord of Sol City repeatedly, just when his subjective words were about to be infected and devoured by the words of the city lord of Sol City, Li Ruochu's mind suddenly flashed the faces of the two Suo guards before they died, and a touch of perseverance flashed in his eyes.
"No! you're wrong!"
