Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 414 City Founding Day
After the busy spring ploughing, it was soon the end of April when the weather really warmed up, which was also the day set for the city construction in the pioneer territory.
Harvey got up early for a rare occasion, took a bath in the castle bathroom with a hot water pool, and asked the waiter to carefully trim his slightly grown beard for him - most independent spellcasters, especially research-based spellcasters, are very self-disciplined in their lifestyle, comparable to the ascetics of the church who abide by strict doctrines and are completely aloof from women.
Even though he was about to be promoted from a pioneer lord to the lord of a city with a large fiefdom, Harvey still followed the simple lifestyle of the past. He basically did not need others to serve him in his daily life, and there were few female waiters in the castle.
It is precisely because of this that both his direct confidants who followed him through the early days of hardship and the powerful officials who joined him later were concerned about his original identity as a spellcaster and did not think of inserting people around him, either openly or secretly. Even the nobles who were most keen on relying on female marriages to establish power relations did not dare to make such vulgar requests that were offensive to spellcasters.
After a simple make-up, Harvey began to look at the several sets of formal clothes sent by the guards. The set sent by the Spellcaster Union was still black with silver edges. Except for the addition of some golden decorations on the collar and cuffs representing the rank of high-level spellcasters, it was not much different from the dark wizard robe he usually wore.
Attending such an important city-building ceremony, if he chose clothes with obvious Union style, it would inevitably hint to many officials under his command and the people from all parties who came to watch the ceremony. Harvey did not intend to give them some unwarranted associations - behind the city he built, there would never be another larger organization standing, but it was absolutely subordinate to Harvey himself and grew and developed by his own ability.
The other set of city lord clothes was jointly presented by many nobles in the Grizzlies Territory. Although Harvey did not know much about nobles, he could see at a glance that this was simply an "upgraded version" of the crown clothes that the Pope conferred on the Grand Duke. He just didn't send the pure gold scepter and jewel crown together - but these nobles were quite sensible, at least they removed the religious decorations representing the church on the crown clothes, and did not appear to be flattering the tiger's buttocks.
The last set of city lord clothes delivered was completely different in style. It abandoned the cumbersome and cumbersome style of traditional ceremonial formal wear, and instead simply modified the gentleman's clothes popular among nobles and wealthy businessmen. The gray and black double-breasted jacket was paired with a pure white shirt, and the same color straight trousers. The dark gold decoration on the cuffs was obviously hand-embroidered, and it looked very exquisite.
Captain Tommy came up and whispered, "This set of clothes was sent by the textile factory. It was tailored for you by local tailors and embroiderers. The material and workmanship may not be as good as the other two sets..."
Harvey narrowed his eyes and showed a satisfied look, "No, choose this one."
Today he will wear the clothes made by the people and take office as the city lord of Spark City.
...
After changing his clothes, Harvey got up and went to the castle hall. Reiner and Asdalen and other senior officials were already waiting there.
"Lord." Seeing him arrive, everyone bowed and saluted. "Officials from Grizzly Territory, Fengyuan City and other places arrived in the North yesterday, and are now waiting for your summons in the Central Administrative Office."
"Well, let them wait a little longer... How is the square outside arranged?"
"The arrangement was completed yesterday afternoon, but there are too many people in the territory... and they are too enthusiastic. Although the roads in the lord's area were blocked in advance, many people in the territory still arrived at the Civic Square in advance last night and waited here for the ceremony to begin."
Although the Civic Square in front of the lord's castle has undergone several renovations and expansions, it is still impossible to accommodate tens of thousands of people attending the meeting. The defense army can only block the main roads leading to the castle area in advance to avoid the dangerous situation of congestion and trampling due to too many onlookers.
In addition to the thousands of people who are willing to wait in the square all night, the rest of the people who cannot enter the castle area can only spontaneously gather in relatively spacious areas such as the municipal square, the stadium and the market.
"Well done, the defense army and the police department really need to work hard today..." Harvey praised, and then led everyone to the viewing balcony on the third floor of the castle.
The God's Ridge Mountains and Jackdaw Ridge in the distance have changed to a dark green like thick ink, and a touch of snow can be vaguely seen on the mountain tops illuminated by the sun.
The Citizen Square directly below the castle has long been crowded. Although the lord's castle is built on a slightly higher terrain, there are still many sharp-eyed people who saw Harvey appear on the balcony. They tiptoed to wave to their lords and cheered.
Harvey couldn't help but curl up his lips and waved in response with a smile.
"My lord, it's almost time..." Reiner didn't need to keep an eye on the clock all the time, and he could accurately predict the time for the ceremony to start, and he started to urge Harvey on time.
"Let's go." Harvey smiled.
…
Seeing the lord appear and climb the high platform built in the center of the Citizen Square, the onlookers immediately stopped their noisy chatter and looked eagerly at the platform, and the unanimous warm cheers turned into waves of sound that swept across the entire square.
"Good morning, my people!"
Harvey's opening remark was amplified by the alchemist and echoed directly above the entire square. The officials of the administrative hall next to him quickly activated the magic stone to record this historic moment with the help of the caster.
"More than three years ago, I came here with a pioneer order I bought with money... and now, a real city is about to be built on this land that was originally deserted."
"I know that many of you are originally refugees struggling to survive on the wasteland, and some fled from the southern border that could not bear the oppression of nobles... and were forced to migrate here because of war, plague and famine. of."
Harvey paused, lowered his eyes and glanced at the crowd of dark people under the platform, and continued in a deep voice: "No matter where you are from or where you are from... Now you have firmly taken root here and have your own. The new home, evil orcs, demons, churches, nobles... can't drive us away from here, and you can't even try to seize our hard-earned wealth."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The old leaders who have experienced the invasion of evil orcs, the church's joint aristocratic expeditions, and the rampage around the demons naturally empathized with them, and raised their fists and red eyes responded to Harvey, "This is our new home, and no enemies are allowed to leave us." Take it away from your hands!”
Harvey raised his hand and continued, "The tragedy you suffered in the past will not happen again. As long as we always unite and block the greedy and vicious enemies from our homes... a new life will surely belong to you!"
“As the supreme ruler of this forthcoming city, I promise you, my people, that the Lord Harvey Floyd will never turn his back on the people who follow him, and will never put you in the future. In dire straits, my army, my officials, and my spellcasters will always pay attention to and protect everyone in this city.”
He stood up slightly, then raised his right hand to swear, "From today, the Pioneer Leader formally builds the city, it will have a new name - Starfire City!"
"Long live the Star Fire City!"
"Long live! Long live! Lord...Long live the city lord!"
The people gathered in the square were boiling, and deafening cheers resounded throughout the sky. Harvey's speech was simultaneously spread through the alchemy loudspeaker to all areas where the people in the territory gathered. For a moment, almost the entire territory was in celebration. the ocean.
The defense forces and the northern army that were deployed on the city wall also sounded magic cannons without real ammunition at this moment. The roar of hundreds of salutes echoed over the city, and even the mountains were shocked and rolled. echo.
