Section 82
It was a drizzle of rain in the gloomy early morning. Ingrid held an umbrella and walked out of the door with Annan.
The solemn lord's mansion stood behind him, and a slight cool humidity came to his face.
Nearly three thousand lords gathered quietly in the square, drenched in the rain, looking at their young lord. Merchants and adventurers stood on the edge out of curiosity, and so did the druids.
Francois held the activated Philosopher's Stone, looking for the right angle.
Annan walked out from under the umbrella and stood in the rain, looking at the quiet crowd: "Today is a special day......"
"Our port is officially completed, the first sailing ship is ready, and the Lord's House is completed. Starmoon Bay became what I wanted...... I think of Xingyue Bay as my favorite thing, like a child's favorite doll. Dressing up, dressing up, and playing everywhere with ......"
Annan's words, much younger than them, did not cause any commotion, including merchants and adventurers, who knew that the lords were the private property of the lords. Each lord has only three purposes in his life: life, death, and belonging to the lord.
"Then it dawned on me that maybe it wasn'...... right."
The rain hung like dew on Annan's black hair.
"Before I go any further, I'd like to tell you a little bit about what happened in the past."
"I only came here then, and I didn't know anything, it was Aunt Susan and Uncle Holling who took care of me......"
Aunt Susan and Uncle Holling, in the front row of the square, waved at him with relief.
Annan responded with a smile: "I have met many friends. They taught me a lot. Fast and Soluman Copperbeard taught me to be kind to others. ”
Fast was draped in a raincoat and carrying more than twenty pounds of fish on his back, and the pride on Soruman Copperbeard's face was hidden by a beard.
"Lady Wine taught me how to get along with the nobles of Breeze, and Tasia and Wood and Lady Blue Dragon taught me that other races are not as rigid as they are rumored."
Annan didn't see the stubborn old man, so he should have returned to the library for fear of the rain, and Wood hid alone in the tavern because of his fear of light.
"The bard, for his part, told me that interracial stereotypes are like 'I am against my own brother, I am against my own brother, I am against my cousin, I, my own brother and my cousin are united against others.'" ”
"The Mage Tower and the Scavengers taught me how to face danger."
"Olmedo taught me how to tame the nobility."
"I grew up under their teachings." Annan looked around at the crowd, and the rain was heavier than before: "When I was in Breezy City, I had a nickname, 'The King of the North' with Quirks,' and that's what they called me. ”
"Because I have an orc guard by my side, an ogre guard. Many people have told me that orcs are cunning and brutal, and ogres are brutal and cunning. I'd say it's not like that at all, you've seen orcs, they're obsessed with cards all day long. And the ogre, whose intellectual attainment even surpasses mine. ”
"Let's go back to the original question: Why do I think this might be wrong?"
“…… What exactly is life? We are born, we live for a while, we die. A human being, whose whole life is only busy with survival and reproduction; An elf who lives for a thousand years will not take half a step out of the forest; A dwarf who spends his days in the underground and lava because "dwarves are good at mining and blacksmithing". An orc who either lives to fight or dies to fight. ”
"I want everyone to be free from the shackles of stereotypes. Goblins can become bards, dwarves can venture out the world, elves can become famous blacksmiths, orcs can become scholars. ”
The rain grew heavier, but no one left, even the merchants and druids drenched in the rain and listened to the young lord's speech with wet black hair on his forehead.
"Race just gives us a different starting point, what changes us is our faith, it's our birth, it's our experience from birth to growth."
"So you see that there is no alien order in Xingyue Bay...... Its original intention was right, but those politicians used it as a tool to exclude dissent. They cruelly imprisoned and enslaved beings who think like us, who possess wisdom, just for profit. ”
Old orcs, centaurs, elves...... The aliens rescued from the city of Betal were silent.
"Our Xingyue Bay is a big ship, we live on it together, I am a member of the big ship, and so are you."
Gradually, the noise spread like oil on the water, like thunder in the rain.
Annan stretched out his hands: "So, let's come up with a name for our port." ”
……
"A big ship named Xingyue Bay is setting sail! 》
"The only port in the north, Moon Port, has been officially completed...... Annan Reeves, King of the North, gives a speech in front of the Lord's Palace......"
In a corner of the park, people gathered in front of the magic newspaper, quietly listening to the deafening speech, and today's joke is also closely related to the big news: two horses want to seize the grassland, but there are already several groups here, and one of the horses said that it doesn't matter, the group of white striped black horses and black striped white horses are feuding, and they are common hostile to brown and brown horses, and we can easily divide them......"
They found that almost everyone had to rush to buy a magic newspaper, and that a basin of water could be poured down from the second floor to five or six pedestrians with magic newspapers, and one was selling magic newspapers.
The cloaks and robes hidden in the Breezy City were also holding a newspaper and listening quietly......
……
Annan, who was about to go to the port, got the news that "the aliens hiding in Breeze City were rushing to Xingyue Bay", and Annan, who had expected this scene in advance, did not make waves, and rushed to the port by the overcrowded hospital - dozens of people were sick and hospitalized because of the rain.
The brand new deck smells of paint, and workers are moving cargo into the cabin.
Ingrid counted the carrying: a heavy horse to open portals, thirty Susan spinning machines, fifty Philosopher's Stones of Record, and twenty special crew members: the Great Water Elemental.
This surprise is reserved for enemies and pirates with bad intentions.
There was a shortage of manpower in Starmoon Bay, so it was Francois and Fast who served as captains and first mates. The former was responsible for managing the crew and negotiating with the port, while the latter was a guard and thug - just in time for him to fish to his heart's content on the sea.
The second mate was a lucky fellow who worked as a sailor in the South for a few months as a young man.
"Do you want to come with us?" Francois asked Annan.
“…… I won't venture out before the route is established. ”
And the countdown to the apocalypse forecast is tomorrow...... It is not yet known what will happen.
The last crew member boarded the ship, and it was time for them to set sail.
"I'll bring back a bouquet of flowers that bloom in the south." Francois said. Fast leaned lazily against the mast and said nothing.
Annan stepped off the sailboat, and watched with Ingrid and people from all over Xingyue Bay as the "Initial" raised its sails, carrying the hope of Xingyue Bay, and sailed out of the bay under the dark clouds that gradually dispersed.
