Chapter 232: A Common Wish
Stone House Hall.
"Now?" Rosen still felt a little weak, not because of fear, of course, but because he had no experience in this area.
"Yes, now."
"What should I do?" Rosen asked in a low voice.
Lilith leaned into Lawson's ear and whispered for a while.
Rosen listened carefully, and when Lilith finished speaking, he savored it, and after five or six minutes, he nodded slightly: "I generally agree with what you said, but there are some details that I think need to be discussed." ”
Unexpectedly, Lilith smiled slightly: "You don't need to discuss the details with me, do what you think." ”
Before Lawson could respond, Lilith had already stood up, strode to the middle of the stone house hall, and said loudly, "Everyone look here, look at it." ”
People inside and outside the hall were still eating the magic potatoes in their hands, their stomachs were in stock, and they didn't panic, and when they saw Lilith's abnormal behavior, everyone's reaction was just to turn around and look at her, and at the same time, they didn't forget to bite a few bites of the magic potatoes in their hands.
After shouting a few times, seeing that everyone's attention was already on her, Lilith continued: "Everyone, turn your head and look outside, the former prosperity has been reduced to ruins, the academy, the garden area, the trade area, the docks, everything, all have been swallowed up by merciless flames. The relatives and friends of everyone present died at the hands of endless monsters. In a disaster, everything is destroyed. And we, the survivors, have no shelter or food, eat this meal of magic potatoes and don't know where the next meal is......"
The crowd listened in silence, and Lilith's words evoked sad memories. Some began to weep silently, while others slowly put down the uneaten magic potatoes in their hands and carefully hid the precious food in their pockets.
Lilith continued, "Perhaps someone thinks that they can leave this ruin and find a way out of the city. But the truth is that there are still a large number of monsters entrenched in the city, and they have made Nilogaard their lair. The monsters not only blocked the way out of the city, but also coveted us all the time, and once someone was left alone, it would immediately become a delicious meal in the monster's mouth! ”
"Woo~~~" There was a low exclamation from the crowd, obviously, many people did not realize the seriousness of the problem before.
Lilith accentuated her voice and said loudly, "We are facing a desperate situation! We can't survive on our own. But I want to live, and I believe that the vast majority of people here want to live. So the question is, what should we do? ”
"Buzz~~~"
There was a lot of talk in the crowd.
From yesterday to now, many people are still immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones and the upheaval of their lives, and they have not thought about how they will live their lives in the future. Now, as the day and night passes, people gradually accept the facts, and at this time they are full, and they naturally think about the way forward.
Lilith chose this point in time to ask this question, which just expresses the anxiety in most people's hearts.
"yes, what are we going to do?"
"Isn't there a Master Lawson? Master Lawson said what to do, then what to do. ”
"Why has Master Rosen been helping you? He's not your father! ”
"What should I do?"
Many people are lost, and many become anxious at the thought of a hopeless future.
Lilith said duly, "I've been thinking about this all this time. After thinking about it, I finally found that if I want to get through this difficult situation and avoid the hunting of monsters, the only way out is to follow the strong! In this dark and cruel world, we must have a strong, wise leader, a benevolent and generous leader! ”
At this point, many people reacted, and people's eyes subconsciously turned to Rosen.
Here, Lawson is the only strong one!
Lilith turned around abruptly, bowed deeply to Rosen, bowed heavily, and then said loudly, "First of all, I want to thank Master Rosen for saving his life. The night before yesterday, if Master Lawson hadn't arrived in time, I, and all the magicians present, would have been food for the monster's mouth. ”
"Me too! I would also like to thank Master Rosen! Vincent stepped out of the crowd and bowed to Rosen as well.
Old Claude was also a human spirit, and as soon as he saw Lilith's actions, he immediately guessed her intentions. At this time, he also came out of the crowd and saluted Rosen: "Master Rosen risked his life and did not hesitate to be seriously injured to save us. I'm afraid old Claude won't be able to pay it off in this life. From now on, my life is your master, and I will do whatever you ask me to do! ”
As soon as the two took the lead, more people followed.
"Thank you, Master, for saving your life."
"Master Rosen, please help us."
"Master Lawson.......
In the midst of the chaos, Lilith shouted, "Quiet! Be quiet! Let me tell! ”
As the people fell silent, they all turned their heads to look at her.
Lilith said to Rosen with a sincere face: "Master Rosen, I implore you to become our leader, help us, and lead us. In return, we will also obey your orders and follow your guidance. Whoever disobeys your commands is our enemy! ”
Rosen was silent, noncommittal.
As soon as they saw him like this, people panicked, for fear that Rosen would not agree, abandon everyone, and leave the academy.
"Master Rosen, please! Help us! ”
"You must leave us alone!"
"Master Lawson ......"
In the midst of a pleading, Rosen finally stood up, he walked slowly to the hall, stretched out his hands and pressed down: "Be quiet. ”
The crowd immediately fell silent, and people looked at him with apprehension.
Rosen's face was cold, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, and his voice was low with a hint of tiredness.
"I have always been a pure alchemist. My hobby is to stay alone in the alchemy room and do all kinds of wonderful experiments. When I got a new result in the lab, it was also the happiest moment of my life. I think I'll always be living this simple life like this. ”
This didn't sound right, and people were a little nervous, for fear that Rosen would say something to refuse.
Rosen's tone changed suddenly: "When the gods bless, it should be the most festive time of the year. I don't like to be in person during the raucous festivals, but I do enjoy watching the acrobatic performances in the square by myself not far away. That's one of the things I love about Nilogaard City, it's bustling and lively, but there's always plenty of quiet corners where you can enjoy it all. But, the monsters are coming, and they ruined it all, ruined Nilogaard, ruined everything I loved! ”
People listened quietly, as if they remembered the happy times of Tenjin Festival.
The sentimental women secretly wiped their tears, and the men's eyes were mostly red, and even the most indifferent people felt panicked in their hearts. The one-eyed wolf sat in the corner and sighed lowly, he remembered his mistress, the miserable woman right before his eyes, torn in half by the monster.
Rosen waved his arms vigorously, suppressed his anger, and roared, "I'm very angry! I immediately jumped down from the building and attacked those monsters like crazy! I killed a lot of monsters, werewolves, ghouls, water ghosts, ghost babies. I killed all the way and rushed all the way back to my mansion. When I finally returned to the mansion, I found that everyone in my mansion had been slaughtered by monsters, and my family had also been kidnapped by monsters...... I have great power, I have killed so many monsters, and in the end, I still can't protect my family! ”
Lawson's voice was full of anger, and not far away, Anne's eyes were red, and she was holding little Alice's hand tightly. And little Alice was already crying so hard that she remembered her mother.
The crowd was silent, and everyone listened attentively.
For the first time, many people discovered that although Rosen was very powerful, he was also a man of flesh and blood and feelings, rather than a master magician who was high above and isolated from the world.
After a pause, Rosen continued in a deep voice: "The cruel truth tells me that there are too many monsters, and it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person. Want to really beat them. The only way out is to unite and raise more powerful warriors and form a strong army, only then it will be possible to drive the monsters out of Nilogad! It is possible to avenge the death of a loved one! Only in this way will it be possible to rebuild Nilogaard! ”
Many people were excited by what was said, and they echoed it.
"Yes, rebuild Nilogaard!"
"Kill all the monsters!"
Rosen raised his hand: "Quiet, I haven't finished my words yet." ”
When the crowd was quiet again, he looked around at everyone and said in a low voice: "It's my dream to rebuild Nilogaard. But this is a very difficult thing, and it cannot be done by the heat of the moment. Before you promise me, you must think clearly! Everyone has their own ideas, and everyone has their own freedom. Those who are willing to follow me, I will do everything I can to live up to your expectations. And those who think differently from me, I respect your choice, and I will give you enough food and water to build you a boat to escort you out of Nilogaard from the clear water. ”
Upon hearing this, Lilith was stunned, this matter completely exceeded her expectations.
The people were silent.
Many people chose to follow Rosen because there was no other way out, but now, Rosen is willing to escort them away from Nilogaard on the water, and also give them food and water. In the eyes of many, this path is much better than staying in Nilogaard and stumbling with monsters.
After more than ten seconds, a young woman asked weakly, "Master Rosen, are you really willing to escort us out of Nilogaard?" ”
Rosen nodded: "I mean what I say!" ”
As soon as these words came out, people immediately began to talk about it.
"Marina, why don't we go?"
"No, I'm not leaving! There is no place in this world where there is peace! ”
"Claude, what are you going to do?"
"Me? Where can I, an old man, go? Of course I'm staying. ”
“.......”
In the chaos, Lilith quietly walked up to Lawson and whispered, "Lawson, in this way, it is estimated that there will be more than half of the people!" ”
Rosen nodded: "I know." But I think it's more important to rebuild Nilogaard than to have more people than to have more people. ”
Lilith sighed softly, "That's fine. ”
After waiting for about half an hour, Rosen spoke: "Okay, it's about the same time." If you choose to stay, please stand on the left side of the hall. If you choose to leave, please stand on the right side of the lobby. Let's get started. ”
The crowd silently split into two groups.
On the left, there are about 360 people, of which more than half are the elderly, children, injured, and weak women, and there are only more than 100 men in their prime. The group on the right is mostly young and strong, and the total number is close to 500.
The magicians were also divided into two groups, with a total of 32 magicians, 11 on the left and 21 on the right, of which Tarot and Lanster were on the right.
Of those who chose to stay, more than 60 were children, 40 of whom were orphans, and only 150 could really help immediately, excluding the injured.
The situation was much better than Rosen expected, especially for more than 100 young adults. These people could have had more options, but they still followed him, and their loyalty was quite high. These people are the elite backbone of the followers, the kind that can be entrusted with big things.
Lawson looked at the person on the right and said in a loud voice, "Very good, it seems that everyone has made their own choices." I will also look at my promise to escort you safely across the Bishui River as soon as possible. When we get to the other side of the Bishui River, we don't have to do anything with each other. ”
He said to the man on his left: "Thank you for your trust. I, Rosen. Laplace, you will not be disappointed! ”
Hearing these words, in the crowd on the right side of the hall, the corners of the magician Tarot's mouth curled slightly, and a sneer appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but whisper to the magician Lanster beside him: "Hehe, I hope this guy can always maintain such confidence." ”
Lancet didn't speak, he looked up at Lawson who was seriously committing in the middle of the hall, and then at Tarot who was full of mocking smiles, somehow, he suddenly felt that the smile on Tarot's face was particularly hateful, and it was a shame that he would stand with such a person.
Gritting his teeth, Lancet stepped out of the crowd on the right and walked towards the crowd on the left.
Tarot was stunned, and hurriedly reached out to grab Ranster's hand, trying to pull him back: "What are you doing?" Have you forgotten how you were beaten last night? ”
Lancet struggled to break free of Tarot's hand: "Don't worry about it! ”
He walked out of the crowd, and when he reached the middle of the hall, he looked at Rosen and asked loudly, "Master Rosen, do you really plan to rebuild Nilogaard?" ”
Rosen was a little surprised, looked at the angry magician Tarot in the crowd on the right, and then turned to look at the young magician Lanster: "Of course! ”
"Then I'm willing to follow you!" Lancet walked towards the crowd on the left.
The magician Tarot was stunned, and it took a long time to react: 'Another idiot! ’
