Chapter 489: The award ceremony begins

As time went on, the talk about the legendary award ceremony became more and more heated.

At first, people were still questioning the authenticity, but when they saw that the squares of Neverwinter had begun to be built with high platforms, and that the reliefs and buildings cost even more money than the Temple of Fortune, everyone no longer doubted the generosity of Neverwinter.

What followed was a lively discussion about who the awards would be awarded.

Every once in a while, Neverwinter announces a new prize, the amount of the prize, and the nominations of those who may receive it.

For example, the recently announced Craftsman of the Year Award nominates three highly prestigious Dwarven Artisans.

Of course, people are more concerned about the highest award, the Adventurer of the Year Award, also known as the Legend Award, than the Best Craftsman Award, which only has a prize of 10,000 gold coins.

The prize money for this comprehensive award will be 100,000 gold coins, which is undoubtedly a reward that will make most people excited.

It's just that, until now, the nominations for the Legend Award have not been announced.

Every night, almost all the taverns debated who would be the best adventurer of the year, and the 100,000 gold coins were the only ones to take care of, and for this reason, many people with different opinions often fought in the middle of the argument, adding a lot of pressure to the security of Neverwinter.

Of course, as a large number of adventurers began to pour into Neverwinter from all over Sword Bay and even Faeron, Dagot Ember had already begun to strengthen the security of Neverwinter, and anyway, there were more and more adventurers, and no one would mind making a little extra money waiting for the award ceremony to begin.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Sen naturally did not waste time, and with the money opening the way, Naomi's intelligence organization was successfully formed.

Tracey's jury was also successfully formed, and this time was arguably her most exciting time, busy discussing with the judges every day who should choose the fairest winner.

A very active, even out-of-the-box person, she even added some controversial races to the list, such as a drow elf who had defected from the Shadows, and of course, the golden dragon Lephreshia, whom she knew, competing with several paladins for the Most Righteous Deeds of the Year.

Barn wasn't idle, and Townsend placed him next to Daggat Ember to learn how to run a city.

Time was spent in such a busy situation, and soon, the award ceremony arrived as scheduled.

At this time, an ornate structure has risen in the middle of the square of Neverwinter, this open-air structure has the shape of a pyramid, and all those surrounding the square can look at the platform at the top.

Around the square, several magic devices have also been erected, and through the video magic arranged on the high platform, all the images on the high platform will be projected on the magic device.

This whole set of magic alone would cost more money than Neverwinter's taxes in a year.

There was no doubt that the whole square was crowded with adventurers from all over the world, and the lord of Neverwinter, Dagot Ember, stood on a richly decorated stage in the center of the high platform, surrounded by rows of seats, which were already full of people.

These are all candidates for the Legends Awards Ceremony.

Because of the momentum started two months in advance, and because of the high prize money, people's views on the award ceremony have already been completely different, and the most intuitive manifestation is that almost 90% of the invitations sent out by Neverwinter have already arrived at the scene.

You can imagine what an incredible spectacle it was – no other city has ever been able to gather so many famous adventurers at one time.

Some of them may only come because of a certain contribution, but most of them have made a name for themselves by virtue of their own strength, and they may be able to smash a nine-ring mage or even a legendary professional by throwing an apple at random.

If you can lead this force, not to mention sweeping the entire Faeron Continent, it is obviously no problem to sweep a country.

"Now I know why the boss chose to hold the award ceremony." Barn stood beside Daggat Ember and thoughtfully said, "Even if we reveal our identities now, seeing this kind of battle, Sazastan may not dare to appear, right?" ”

He looked around and saw no Townsend, slightly disappointed.

Everyone has been so busy lately that it has been a long time since they have gotten together, which makes Bath very unaccustomed.

At this time, Dagot Ember glanced at Barn and whispered, "It's almost time, can we start?" ”

"This kind of thing, the city lord decidesβ€”" Barn replied reflexively, but soon saw Daggart Ember's expression, so he said helplessly, "Then let's start." ”

Another thing that I am not used to during this time is that this Lord of Neverwinter is too polite to himself, and he can even be called respectful.

Barn didn't know what his boss had communicated with the city lord, so that the other party completely handed over the initiative to manage Neverwinter City, and asked him for instructions on everything in detail, and if he didn't understand, the other party would patiently explain.

It's like he's the real Lord of Neverwinter.

Barn had asked, but the other party only smiled and said that if he could get some positions in the newly built city in the future, even if it was just a small management, it would be much better than the so-called current castle owner of Neverwinter.

The other party is clearly trying to please himself.

Barn didn't understand, and was shocked.

This is normal, Barn has never been exposed to power, and he doesn't know how lofty his status is in the blueprint drawn by Townessen, and Daggart Ember is different from him, even if he doesn't talk about the future, just the current award ceremony, he has seen immeasurable prospects, enough for him to give up everything now to fight.

What's more, his heart is still in the hands of someone else.

On the high platform, the lines of magic emerged, and the magic devices around the square lit up, turning into huge screens, projecting everything on the high platform simultaneously.

"I am the Lord of Neverwinter, Dagot Ember."

Daggat Ember's voice reverberated throughout the square: "I am honored to be invited to open the first edition of the Legends Awards Ceremony. ”

"Invited?"

A buzzing whisper rang out from above the square.

Many sharp-minded adventurers have realized the subtext of this phrase - the legendary award ceremony is not organized by Dagt Ember, but someone else?
