Chapter 229 82. Racial Declaration
It was raining lightly in the gloomy morning. Ingrid held an umbrella and walked out of the door with Annan.
The solemn Lord's Mansion stands behind him, and the cool moisture hits his face.
Nearly three thousand citizens gathered quietly in the square, looking at their young lord in the rain. Merchants and adventurers stood on the edge out of curiosity, as did the druids.
Francois held the activated magic stone and looked 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 built, the first sailing ship is ready, and the lord's palace is completed . Xingyue Bay has become what I want... I treat Xingyue Bay as a beloved thing, like a child's favorite doll, which I dress up and play with every day..."
The words of Annan, who was much younger than them, did not cause any commotion, including the merchants and adventurers. They knew that the subjects were the private property of the lord. Each territorial citizen has only three purposes in life: life, death, and belonging to the lord.
"Then I suddenly realized that this might not be right..."
The rain hung on Annan's black hair like dewdrops.
"Before I continue, I want to tell you something that happened in the past."
"I just came here at that time and didn't know anything. Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin took care of me..."< br>
Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin in the front row of the square waved to him happily.
Annan responded with a smile: "I have made many friends. They have taught me a lot. Fast and Soruman Bronzebeard taught me to be kind to others."
Fast is wearing Wearing a raincoat and carrying more than twenty pounds of fish on his back, the pride on Soruman Bronzebeard's face was covered by his beard.
"Ms. Wine taught me how to get along with the nobles of Breeze City. Tasia, Wood, and Ms. Blue Dragon taught me that other races are not as stereotyped as rumored."
Annan didn't see the stubborn old man, so he was probably afraid of getting caught in the rain when he returned. In the library, Wood hid alone in the pub because he was afraid of light.
“The bards told me that the racial stereotypes were like ‘I am against my brother, me and my brother against my cousin, me, my brother and my cousin Brothers united against the others.'"
"The Mage Tower and the Scavenger taught me how to face danger."
"Olmedo taught me how to tame the nobility."
"I grew up under their guidance." Annan looked around the crowd. The rain was heavier than before: "When I was in Breeze City, I had a nickname, 'The King of the North with Quirks.' They called me that. "
"Because I have an orc guard, an ogre guard. Many people tell me that orcs are cunning and cruel, and ogres are cruel and cunning. I want to say that there is no such thing. You have seen the orc, who is obsessed with playing cards, and the ogre, who even surpasses me in knowledge."
"Let's go back to the original question: why do I think this is possible. Right? "
"...What is life? We are born, we live for a while, and we die. A human is only busy surviving and reproducing in his life; an elf does not live for a thousand years. Will take half a step out of the forest; a dwarf lives with the underground and lava all day long because "dwarves are good at mining and forging"; an orc will either live to fight or die to fight."
"I. I hope that everyone can get rid of the shackles of stereotypes. Goblins can become bards, dwarves can adventure all over the world, elves can become famous blacksmiths, and orcs can become scholars.”
The rain was getting heavier, but no one left. Even the merchants and druids were soaked in the rain, listening to the speech of the young lord with wet black hair sticking to his forehead.
“Race just gives us different starting points. What changes us is belief, origin, and our experience from birth to growth.”
“So you see, Xingyue Bay has no The original intention of implementing the Alien Order is right, but those politicians use it as a tool to exclude dissidents. They cruelly imprison and enslave intelligent beings like us, just to make profits. "Old Orc. , centaurs, elves...the aliens rescued from Betar City were silent.
“Our Xingyue Bay is a big ship, and we live on it together. I am a member of the big ship, and so are you.”
Gradually, the noise spread quickly like oil on the water, like thunder in the rain.
Annan stretched out his hands: "So, let's give our port a name."
......
"A large ship named Xingyue Bay is approaching set sail! 》
“The only port in the North, Moon Harbor is officially completed...Annan Reeves, the King of the North, gave a speech in front of the Lord's Mansion..."
In a corner of the park, people gathered in front of the magic newspaper and listened quietly to the inspiring speech. Today's joke was also closely related to the big news: two horses wanted to occupy the grassland, but there were already several groups here. One of the horses said It doesn’t matter, those black horses with white stripes and white horses with black stripes are feuding, and they are jointly hostile to brown horses and brown horses. We can easily split them..."
They found that the magic newspapers that usually need to be snapped up are almost unavailable. One portion, then a basin of water poured from the second floor can hit five or six pedestrians holding magic newspapers, and there is also a magic newspaper seller. The guys who were hiding their figures in cloaks and robes were also holding a newspaper and listening quietly...
...
Annan, who was about to go to the port, got the message "The aliens hiding in Breeze City are... Coming to Xingyue Bay", Annan, who had anticipated this scene in advance, was not disturbed. He passed by the overcrowded hospital and rushed to the port - dozens of citizens were admitted to the hospital because they fell ill after being caught in the rain.
The brand-new deck smelled of paint, and workers were loading cargo into the cabin.
Ingrid counted the shipment: a heavy horse to open the portal, thirty Susan spinning machines, fifty recording magic stones, and twenty special Crew: Large water elemental.
This surprise is reserved for enemies and pirates with evil intentions.
Xingyue Bay lacks manpower, so Francois and Fast serve as the captain and first mate. The former is responsible for managing the crew and negotiating with the port, while the latter is a guard and thug - just on the sea, he can fish to his heart's content.
The second mate is a lucky guy who worked as a sailor in the South for several months when he was young.
"Do you want to come with us?" Francois asked Annan.
"...I won't take the risk until the route is established."
And the countdown to the apocalypse forecast is tomorrow... I don't know what will happen yet.
The last crew member boarded the ship and it was time for them to set sail.
"I will 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 together with Ingrid and people from all over Xingyue Bay, they watched the "Initial" raise its sails, carrying the hope of Xingyue Bay, and sailed out of the bay under the gradually dispersing dark clouds.
