Chapter 446: Broadcasting
For the people of the Hosman region, what they have experienced in recent times is even more complicated than what their ancestors have experienced for generations combined.
The Horsman family, who ruled the land, suddenly fell apart, the owner of the castle was replaced by a "political official" from Cecil, the simple and strict decree of the government department replaced the old lord's law, and the major events of population migration and land distribution followed, and the disciplined army of Cecil replaced the loose and greedy aristocratic private soldiers, and strictly carried out the orders of the new lord, and with these things came to this land, there were also batch after batch of engineering teams, one construction area after another......
The new changes are so rapid, and the impact is naturally mixed.
Many people felt uneasy, at a loss for what to do with all kinds of new things, and some could not understand the meaning of the unheard of "Cecil Law" and the "Cecil Order", and the Horsmans, who had long been accustomed to a casual and chaotic lifestyle, often got together to discuss the "unbelievable" parts of the new law, such as the prohibition of defecation on the streets, the centralized disposal of garbage, etc., while others also noticed the good side of the arrival of the Cecil.
The officials of the government department were obviously more reasonable than the lords and knights, and the laws they promulgated were strictly enforced, not according to the will of the magistrates; Cecil's soldiers were more disciplined, and they occupied castles and outposts without robbing the nearby civilians at all, and even helped repair their houses; The land distribution promised by the new lords was not an empty word, at least the first new inhabitants who moved to the periphery of the city were given their own shares, and although many feared that the lord would take it back at any time, at least they had land in their hands for the time being......
For most people, they don't care who the lord on their head is, and they don't care which flag is hung on the castle, as long as they can ensure the food and clothing of the people, the ruler can gain unimaginable support in this era, and the new government office at least guarantees this, so even if the new law is not easy to implement, the transformation and construction of this land by the Horsman government office is still proceeding according to the schedule.
In the old Hossmann Castle, where the current government office is located, a group of magicians and soldiers are busy in the square in front of the castle.
These "engineering teams" from the Cecil region have been regulars in the territory for a while now, and as the situation in the entire Hossman region has stabilized, more and more Cecil construction teams have entered the area, bringing with them incredible magic technology and using all kinds of magical machines to build houses and various facilities.
The Horsman called the magicians in cloth overalls "Cecil Wizards" because they always saw magicians building houses with magical spells, but the magicians claimed to be ordinary people, so the locals gave them such names.
Whenever the "Cecil Wizards" worked, there were always people watching - the Horsman people had gradually become accustomed to all kinds of magical things brought to this land by the Cecil, and under the propaganda of the government office, they were little by little exposed to the incredible magic technology, but after all, the time was too short, and the so-called "magic age" was still a new and strange term for these locals, and the "noble spells" that were once high and belonged only to the nobility were now so close to them, The vast majority of ordinary people can't resist this curiosity.
Many people were gathered around the square at the moment, guessing what those magicians and soldiers were busy with, guessing what the use of those strange metal, crystal, and rune devices was, although there were some soldiers guarding the construction site, they had no intention of driving the crowd away.
The Horsman had already figured out the temper of these mighty soldiers: these soldiers were really disciplined, even ordinary soldiers were as disciplined as the most upright knights, and as long as they did not break the law, these sword-wielding soldiers would never trouble the civilians or extort money.
"Guess what they're going to do?" In the crowd, someone curiously asked the person next to him, "You came early, you know?" ”
The person being questioned shook his head: "I don't know - they were busy when I came." But I guess it's mostly street lights...... Haven't they been building street lamps all over the city lately? ”
"There are already street lamps in this square, what kind of street lights are there," the third person next to him retorted, "Anyway, sooner or later, someone from the government department will say it—by the way, does anyone know what is written in the notice in the square today?" ”
The first person to speak shook his head: "I'm illiterate." But most of the new laws are the new ones, which prohibit defecation on the streets, build toilets and garbage dumps, and so on......"
An old man standing at the back of the crowd heard it and couldn't help but mutter: "No is allowed on the street, to be honest, this is really unreasonable." ”
The topic of the onlookers is like this, sometimes a few words of effort will be completely crooked to other places, and the point of discussion of several people will soon shift to those strange "Cecil Order", some people shake their heads, and chatter: "They also asked everyone to boil the water before drinking it-if you want me to say, although the old men of the government department are all good people, these rules are too much......
"I think boiling water makes some sense, and it doesn't smell strange to boil water and drink it again-"
People began to discuss new topics with high spirits, and went further and further on them, but now the construction of the square was coming to an end: after the intense busyness of the magicians, a strange large installation was fixed to the stone platform in the center of the square.
It was a strange contraption with a triangular base, a runic glow on the surface, and a crystal inlaid at the top.
As the magicians began to test the device, lighting up the runes on its surface to confirm its status, the curious crowd around them stopped talking and turned their attention back to the strange object, and as the crowd began to arouse their curiosity, several groups of soldiers on horseback suddenly ran out of the castle and ran towards the various exits of the plaza.
The shouts of these soldiers were heard:
"Citizens of Hossman! The Great Gawain?? Duke Cecil wants to speak to you! Meet at the square! ”
Gawain?? Cecil? Suzerain?
Will the lord appear in the square? When did he come?
People looked at each other, everyone was at a loss, of course they knew the name of their new lord, but they didn't expect the lord to appear in this place, obviously there was no news before, and no one saw the carriage and horses entering the city, why is the lord coming?
And...... Didn't you hear that the lord had gone to the north with his army to fight? Could it be that he has returned? Coming back so soon...... Is it a win? Or did they not fight at all? Or is it ...... Lost?
The people were surprised and confused, and the people who were tired of watching the construction and were about to go home also stopped and stayed to discuss with the others the incredible matter of the sudden arrival of the lord, and in the course of the discussion, they saw another group of soldiers come out of the castle and stand in line around the strange "magic device" that had just been set up in the center of the square.
The soldiers lining up to guard seemed to prove that the lord was indeed coming, but they were guarding around a magic device...... It's confusing.
There are more and more people in the square.
At this moment, the city of Hossmann was still an old-fashioned town, and there was only a limited area around the castle, and the soldiers had only informed those who were close to the square, and who could get to the square quickly, so it was not long before the inhabitants, who had received the notice, were full of curiosity and nervousness gathered in the square, and those who came late could not even find a place in the square, but could only climb to the roofs of nearby buildings, and those near the center of the square could not help but rejoice at this moment—
Fortunately, they came here early to watch the excitement, and they occupied the best position at this moment.
The residents of Horsman City gathered and watched, and many of them were nervous and afraid: Gawain?? Cecil's fame is known throughout Ansu, and the legendary hero who recently conquered Hossman and became their lord, and now he is going to talk to them again, this is no ordinary thing, if nothing else—they have never had this opportunity for generations......
After all, even if he is the heir of the Cecil family, he can only go in to see Gawain when he sweeps the tomb?? A glance at Cecil's coffin.
But the lord still didn't show up, only a group of soldiers stood guard in the open space in the center of the square, and a dozen magicians were busy there.
The people on the outer floor of the square couldn't even see the situation inside, and there were people in the back shouting and asking the people in front: "Has the lord arrived?" Has the lord arrived? What does he look like? ”
"The lord hasn't come yet—but I see the Archon of Daedalus! Probably the lord is coming soon, right? ”
After a few more moments, the Wizard Technicians had finally completed all the adjustments and successfully completed each test.
The Archon of Hossman City, Daedalus, and several of his colleagues arrived in the square, and a magician approached him: "Archon - the test is complete, the signal has been connected. ”
The young archon took the mechanical watch from his bosom, glanced at the current time, then took a deep breath and calmed a slightly nervous mood, "Let's get started - let's witness it together." ”
The Wizard Technician nodded, turned around and instructed his assistants: "Adjust to broadcast mode, sound and image level 3 amplification, turn on!" ”
The energy source of the installation is switched on.
In the dimming skylight, in the curious gaze of countless pairs of eyes in the square, a slight humming sound suddenly sounded, and then, a hazy and chaotic light suddenly appeared in the middle of the square.
The light floated high in the air, like a constantly shaking aurora curtain, which instantly caused one exclamation after another, and before the exclamation settled, the image in the light curtain shook and gradually stabilized.
Gawain?? Cecil's figure appeared there, in a huge holographic projection.
Even those farthest from the plaza could see their lord clearly.
Under the effect of the amplification magic, a deep and majestic voice resounded throughout the square:
"Good afternoon, glorious citizens of Cecil, I am your lord.
