Chapter 490: An Unparalleled Honor
Dagot Ember's opening speech continued: "My honor is not only to stand in front of adventurers from all continents, but also to be able to see so many extremely prestigious figures. β
"I am honored because I am sure that this moment will be remembered in the history of Ferron, and I am sure that everything that happens today will be sung by countless bards and spread to every corner of Ferron. If all the bards present wished. β
He made a joke, and there was a burst of laughter in the square.
Unlike in the past, Dagot Ember did not speak at length, and after a few brief words, the conversation changed: "Next, let me introduce you to the chief judge of the legendary award ceremony, Miss Trixie. β
"Trihy?" One of the spellcasters sitting below and waiting raised an eyebrow: "This name is a little familiar. β
One of the wanderers next to him leaned over and whispered, "A member of the squad that stopped the demonic invasion before." β
The spellcaster suddenly realized: "It's actually her, I was still wondering why I didn't meet the dwarf Barn and his team members at the award ceremony this time, I didn't expect them to participate in the award ceremony." β
He looked at the wanderer and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yetβ"
"The legendary mage Martinus Ratledge." The wanderer spoke before him: "Your Excellency does not need to introduce yourself at all, I think there should be very few people present who do not know Your Excellency. β
The spellcaster smiled very respectfully and said, "Your Excellency is too exaggerated, I haven't left my mage tower for more than ten years, I'm ashamed to say it. People like me shouldn't have come to this kind of ceremony and compete with young people for opportunities, but I really wanted to come and talk to everyone. β
He paused for a moment, showing an embarrassed look: "People are old, they talk a lot, they are too powerful, may I ask your Excellency's name?" β
"Blasi Mayiga." The wanderer said without mind.
"Maiga dancing with the silver dragon?" Martinus Ratledge looked surprised, and soon realized that this was a legendary wanderer of the same rank as himself, and hurriedly said, "I have heard of your deeds. β
"That's my pleasure." "I've never been to Neverwinter, and this time, apart from being invited, I mainly hope to find a few teammates. I've found a nest of soulsuckers in the dark realms, and I'm going to exterminate it. β
"Oh?" Martinus Ratledge raised an eyebrow: "Spirit Sucking Monsters? This evil existence is absolutely intolerable, if you don't mind, we can talk about it later. β
"Please add me." Another voice came from the side, a slender woman, who politely introduced herself: "My name is Eunice Alonso, and it would be my pleasure if I could help." β
It is natural for famous adventurers to get together to communicate with each other and even share information, which is why many adventurers are willing to come even if they don't win awards, they can also make some connections, and there are not many such occasions.
And at this time, Tracey finally came to the stage.
She was wearing a formal and delicate robe, although the whole person was a little restrained because of nervousness, but she barely managed to stabilize her dignity, and after taking the position of Dagot Ember, she looked around and took a deep breath: "Then, the legendary award ceremony has officially begun." β
"The first award at the first edition of the Legend Awards will be the Discovery of the Year Award."
"The award is dedicated to encouraging those who have the courage to explore uncharted areas and unearth ancient ruins, and after intense discussions, the jury finally decided on the best candidate for the exploration award."
Trish paused, and the surroundings and the entire square couldn't help but fall silent.
Even people who have nothing to do with this award can't help but feel a little nervous and expectant in their hearts, and they don't know the origin of this feeling - the award ceremony is too new and interesting for the world of Feilun.
Almost when someone couldn't hold back because of the pause, Trish finally spoke: "She once led a team deep into the dark regions, found ancient ruins thousands of years ago, and successfully defeated the evil creatures entrenched in them, excavating them, allowing historians to discover an unknown blank epic, she is-"
"Eunice Alonso, congratulations."
The people around the stage and in the square couldn't help but applaud, and Eunice Alonso stood up a little confused, listening to the thunderous applause, looking at the congratulatory or envious eyes of the people around her, and for a moment, a great sense of accomplishment arose.
Even when she successfully excavated the ancient ruins, she was never so happy.
That's it. How does it feel to receive a prize?
Originally, he was only here for those bonuses, but now, Eunice Alonso suddenly felt that compared to those bonuses, the feelings at this time were the most precious.
"Perhaps, this award contains the honor. It's much higher than I imagined, even if it's the Silver Moon Badge or the Neverwinter Badge, how can so many people pay attention to it and so many people agree with it? β
In a trance, Eunice Alonso stepped onto the stage and saw the delicate-looking half-elf looking at her with shiny eyes.
How does the judge feel more excited than I am?
There was no time to think about it, probably because of the infection of the environment, Eunice Alonso saluted Trihy as it should be, and then took a medal made of pure gold from the other party with both hands.
Of course, Tricy was very excited, she didn't expect that someone like Eunice Alonso would actually salute her, but fortunately, she had memorized the lines of the process countless times before, so that she would not stutter out of shape.
"The medal is engraved with magic runes, it's not too powerful magic, it's just a memorial, if you sense it, it will point you in the direction of this high platform forever."
"Now, you're ready to deliver your acceptance speech."
Eunice Alonso held up the medal in her hand, which glittered in the sun, she had already experienced so many things in her life, but she suddenly didn't know what to say.
Everything was too unexpected, and the atmosphere of the scene completely stirred the heart of this legendary adventurer.
She looked down, at the famous figures, each with enough stories to make the bard sing for a night, and now their eyes were on themselves, and they applauded themselves without hesitation.
Meanwhile, farther away, above the plaza beneath the high platform, adventurers from all over the world are cheering for themselves.
All this because of the medals in hand.
Eunice Alonso felt that even the coronation of the king was nothing more than that, and at this moment, he seemed to be the center of the world.
"I-"
As soon as she said a word, she noticed that her voice had been somewhat distorted, and she quickly took a deep breath.
"It is an honour to be recognized by the Legends Awards Ceremony Committee and to receive this award."
She struggled to maintain politeness and decency, but she soon found herself unable to do so.
It's strange that it hasn't been such a strong mood swing in many years, but at this moment, Eunice Alonso found that her eyes were blurry.
More intense applause rang out, making her finally give up her insistence on decency.
She held up the medal even harder and said loudly:
"I'll never forget this moment for the rest of my life, I can say for sureβ"
"It's the most precious thing I've ever gained in my life."
