Chapter 314: Excitement and Pride
Jonas's words caused a huge uproar in the crowd, looking at Jonas with a smile on the steps, whether it was Derrass, Borobus, or those who were called by name, they were a little confused, special gifts, is Jonas still going to give them a suite?
However, although no one knew what Jonas had called them up for, Gradot and the others walked to the bottom of the steps, looked at the five steps in front of them, and did not go up again, carefully looking at the people on the left and right with their eyes, thinking about what to do later.

Jonas stood in the middle of the steps, looking at the panicked appearance of the crowd, he resisted the urge to laugh, and said to the thirteen people who came out and were called by name: "Mr. Gradot, Mr. Pierce, and all of you, please come up to the top, or I won't be able to give you what I have in my hands." ”
Jonas's words undoubtedly caused another wave of discussion in the crowd that had just quieted down, and it was already a great honor for these people to come out of the ranks, and how could it be accepted that they should stand on the steps and be on an equal footing with Jonas, the boss.
In particular, there are 6 other administrative officers in Delas, and they don't know why, these thirteen administrative adjutants are all their subordinates, and now these subordinates can enjoy such a privilege, but they are the objects that will be looked down on, and several people look at each other a few times, and the confusion in their hearts is clear.
Gradot and the other people who stood up felt the voices of many people behind them, and the panic in their hearts also rose rapidly, looking at the 'weird' smile of Jonas in front of him, Gradot, as the head of the adjutants, the prefect of the 11th district of Genaya, and the prefect of the 5th district, but he had to be the first to step forward.
Gradot walked up the steps, and his first action was to half-kneel on the ground, so that his height could meet Jonas's, and the rest of the people saw Gradot's witty performance, and they also knelt on the ground as soon as they walked up the steps, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Jonas.
It's not that they are too inflammatory, but as long as they look up at Jonas, their eyes will look down at their lord, which is a very unpleasant thing for any meat eater, no way, whoever told them to kneel on the ground is still half a head taller than Jonas~
Looking at the adjutants kneeling in a row behind Gradot, Jonas still had some regret in his heart, originally in his thoughts, he hoped that these people would be able to stand and accept his medal, so when the event was still in the design stage, Jonas was going to take a chair and let himself stand on the chair for this award ceremony.
But in the end, when he made this set of actions in St. George's Palace, it was too ugly and embarrassing, and it was finally vetoed by Jonas and Dolon, which is why, seeing Gradot kneeling on the ground, Jonas did not stop it.
All of this is because of the key factor of height.
Jonas saw that everyone was ready, and the curiosity of the hundreds of people under the steps was also seduced to the peak by this scene, and his purpose was achieved, under the protection of the attendants, Jonas walked up to Gradot and patted him on the shoulder, making Gradot raise his head.
"In view of your outstanding service to the people of Genoya in times of danger, Mr. Gradotte, I hereby award you the Iron Cross of Glory on behalf of Il, Count Alramich, Jung, Ruger, and all the peace-loving citizens of Genoa. “
As soon as Jonas finished speaking, the people below were silent for a moment, including Derras and the others, as if they had heard a ghost story, their eyes widened, looking at Jonas's side face, and they didn't dare to speak, while Gradot, who was awarded, looked confused, completely devoid of what a normal human should be.
They were really confused by Jonas.
The word medal is as unattainable for the commoners as knights and nobles, and only in fairy tales can you get a little bit of news for your imagination, but now, their lord, in front of a commoner, an ordinary lieutenant, wants to award him that medal in the name of the earl and the citizen of Genaya, this is simply a groundbreaking thing.
In the face of everyone's surprise, Jonas was not affected, and when he told the news to Doron and got Doron's expression at that time, he knew that if this news was released from his mouth, it would definitely cause a sensation throughout Genaya.
So he calmly ignored everyone's shock, and took out an Iron Cross Medal of Glory from the box of the attendant next to him, and placed it in his hand.
Medals and other things, not as everyone thinks, have always been beautiful, on the contrary, in the medieval era, because of the blockade of artistic creation and the shortage of materials, most of the medals are actually very simple, most of them are the lord's family crest and a cross, if it is awarded to the duke, at most it is to add a circle of diamonds and the like, in terms of beauty, it is far inferior to the medals of later generations.
And Jonas ordered Doron to create these medals, but Jonas in the 'borrowing' of the British royal medal and the German army medal, as well as the Soviet era of the medal to create, can be said to be full of modern atmosphere and fashion sense, plus in the use of materials, Jonas also deliberately selected a batch of imported steel to create the medal body, and then use extremely high purity of gold to outline the cumbersome pattern outside, it can be said that each one can be called a masterpiece in the artwork.
Even in order to make these medals more meaningful to these awardees, rather than just a very valuable thing, Jonas also deliberately engraved their names and the year of the medal on the periphery of the twelve-pointed star of the medal, and on the back of the medal, it is engraved in Latin and Italian The words of the immortality of the people of Genoya are engraved, which can be said to be racking his brains, just to make these medals more meaningful.
Dellas looked at the medal that shone brightly in the candlelight, and his heart seemed to be filled with surging blood as if it had been when he was young, a glory that only nobles and knights could enjoy, and how exciting it was that Gradot, who was now an administrator, could wear it.
At this time, everyone had already left behind whether Jonas had exceeded the regulations by doing so, looking at the medal, Borobus and the others were excited, since subordinates like Gradott can get medals, then why can't they do it, that box is very big.
Everyone was excited, and Gradot, who was wearing the medal by Jonas, was even more so, especially Jonas's face was about an elbow width from his beard at this time, and the weak hands were also fiddling with the medal on Gradot's chest at the moment, but Gradot felt heavy, at this moment, he really didn't expect that he would get a medal.
"Please continue to serve the city of Genaya, sir, and this city deserves to be proud of you. ”
Jonas didn't look at Gradot, he didn't look at anyone, at this time he could feel that Gradot's chest was trembling and his breathing was starting to become heavy, and he knew that this incident, for Gradot, might be something that he would remember for the rest of his life.
This made Jonas nervous, a medal ceremony for himself, maybe just to show off, and for Gradot, for everyone who is doing it, maybe the medal on his chest is worth defending with their lives.
The honor and the dignity of everyone present quieted Jonas, and also made his expression quite solemn, looking at Jonas's appearance, and Gradot's excited and almost tearful appearance, everyone on the field was quiet, and no one talked about pleasure or not.
Everyone watched as if they were at a knightly ceremony, as a gentleman of integrity and courage accepted the medal he deserved.
"Gradot won't let you down. Looking at the top of Jonas's head, Gradotte whispered.
At this moment, Gradote's soul was completely handed over to Jonas, no matter who will rise and fall in the future, Jonas's influence on Gradot's body will not disappear, this medal is like a brand, and it is hard to engrave Jonas on Gradot's heart and on these people who have been rewarded.
"Just don't disappoint the people of Genaya, Mr. Gradot, and stand at the bottom of the steps. Hearing Gradot's allegiance order, Jonas smiled, and put on the medal in his hand, Jonas pushed back two steps, looked at whether the medal was neatly and beautifully placed, and finally nodded with satisfaction, and whispered to Gradotte.
Gradot went down the steps, but Jonas's footsteps did not stop, behind Gradotte, there were still 12 adjutants who needed Jonas to wear the medals on their chests one by one, and there could not be the slightest mistake in between, otherwise it would be too frustrating for the adjutants.
"Mr. Pierce, please come forward. .....” One by one, the medals of the same style passed through Jonas's hands to everyone's chest, until all thirteen medals were worn on their bodies, and the applause was resoundingly remembered, and it was given to the thirteen recipients of the medals, and also to Jonas, the wise lord.
"Alright, then Borobus, and the other administrators, it's your turn. ”
Waiting for the applause of the crowd to stop, Jonas beckoned the six administrators to the steps, and like those adjutants, half-knelt on the ground, all of them were under the inspection of the lady, and put on their clothes straight, especially on the chest, for fear that the clothes would be wrinkled because of bending down and kneeling, and when Jonas was wearing the medal, the medal would be crooked, so everyone was very careful to do every action.
It can be said that Borobus and others attach great importance to this award, and they are obviously very satisfied with Jonas's special gift.
The Iron Cross of the Order of Virtue, this is the medal of the six magistrates.
Compared with the Adjutants' Iron Cross Medal of Glory, the cross of the Order of Virtue is much more complicated, in addition to the most basic horizontal line, Jonas also put the rose pattern and the little bee, which have a special status in Christianity, on the cross, making him look very exquisite, wearing it on everyone's body, and also making the tuxedo with some aristocratic temperament, very decent.
"Borobus, in the name of God, thank you for your loyalty to Genoya. ”
One medal after another, until Borobus, looking at his deep face, Jonas felt a little relaxed, said to Borobus with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder, very hard.
Borobus looked at the medal on his chest and smiled like a fool, and his original deep face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Growing so big, he never imagined that he could get such a medal after he was told that he had no talent to become a knight when he was 8 years old, and when he grew up, the medal was more like an unattainable dream in Borobus's mind.
But now, his dream is actually worn on his chest, and it is shining under the light of the candlelight, how can Borobus not be happy, looking at his mother and father wiping tears under the steps, the corners of Borobus's eyes are also a little moist, and he wants to cry a little.
If you want to cry, in fact, he is not alone, many of the ladies under the steps have already cried together, but under the cover of the silk scarf in their hands, they can't see it clearly, as long as they take the silk scarf away, they can easily see that whether it is a wife or a child, or a mother, they are all tears, full of excitement and pride.
Jonas saw it in his eyes, and was also very proud, and sent them down the steps, Jonas looked at Dellas, and the eyes of the others also looked at Dellas, and everyone was looking forward to what kind of beauty medal Jonas would give Dlas.
"Mr. Dras, please come up, Doron, and bring me a chair. ”
Derras staggered to the top of the steps, Jonas looked at the white-haired Derrass, he really couldn't bear to let him half-kneel on the ground, which he couldn't accept, so in the end, Jonas still chose a chair and stepped on the chair, Jonas shook his body twice to balance his body, looked at Dellas, and smiled very shyly.
"Mr. Dras, with the blood that God has given me, assure the people of Genoa that, at this moment, in my name, bestow upon Dras, the Grand Cross Heroic Medal. (To be continued.) )
