The square where more than 2,000 people gathered was no less than that of a large gathering of tens of thousands of people in later generations. Roland secretly sighed that the ability to echo was really easy to use.

The purpose of choosing these people is mainly to set an example for the people - none of them are nobles, and the Iron Axe is a sand citizen in the southern border; although Kaimo is the chief alchemist, his background is not prominent, and he also climbed up step by step from his apprentice; and Nanava is even a witch.

There are foreign races, civilians, and witches. If it were later generations, it was simply impeccable political correctness.

Roland hoped to instill his philosophy in all the leaders through such a ceremony-Border Town only deals with achievements, not with origin.

The first person to come forward to receive the award was the Iron Axe. Roland personally handed the gold medal with the emblem of the Gray Castle Tower, gears and wheat ear rings printed to him. The First Army soldiers under the stage raised their hands and applauded, and many people whistled.

"You should all know his name, commander of the First Army Musket Team, Iron Axe!" Roland turned to face everyone, "Before the arrival of the Demon Moon, he was just an ordinary hunter in the town. The battles that broke out in the border town so far, and the Iron Axe was not absent. Just a month ago, he led the First Army soldiers to the royal capital to rescue the fugitives in the East who were besieged by the evil epidemic! Now the more than 6,000 leaders who are temporarily living outside the city wall are brought back by him!"

Most of the people in the square were indigenous people and First Army soldiers, and only a few hundred serfs and fugitives accounted for. However, under the mobilization of echoes, the atmosphere was completely unstoppable. After Roland paused, the recognition and call of the fugitives immediately sounded, and the intensity of the fugitives was no less than that of the First Army's applause.

The Iron Axe also seemed very excited. Perhaps he had never thought that he would be favored by the prince as a member of the Mojin clan. He first performed the military salute formulated by Roland, and then knelt down on one knee to give the Kingdom Knight's salute. If Roland had not supported him, he would have to give the Shamin a provocation to the next.

"Get up, as a soldier, you just need to salute me." Roland smiled.

"Thank you... Your Highness," his voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

The prince patted the iron axe on the shoulder comfortably, handed over a hundred golden dragons to his hands, and then asked Kemo Spier to stand on the stage.

"This may be the first time you have seen this. He is from the chief alchemist of Chishui City Alchemist, Mr. Kemo Spier, in the middle of the Kingdom!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders took a breath.

"Chief Alchemist? Isn't that a sage who will be respected and treated in front of the king?"

"Just like royal astrologers?"

"No, the status of the alchemist is higher than that of the astrologer. After all, no one can say whether the latter's prophecy will be fulfilled, and what the alchemist makes is at least real."

"And he is also from the Alchemy Workshop of Chishui City. I heard that only the King Capital Alchemy Association can compare with each other!"

“…”

In the four kingdoms, alchemists and astrologers have a transcendent status. For civilians, alchemists, known as sages, are more worthy of preaching than great nobles and lords. Roland was very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. He reached out and pressed down, and then said: "Although Mr. Strier did not participate in previous battles in person, the several improvements of the musket, from single shots to continuous shots, are inseparable from his Chemistry Laboratory, which is also an important guarantee for the First Army to win victory. Without these alchemy-chemical products, the border town cannot truly win peace and tranquility." The prince paused for a moment, "By the way, the Chemistry Laboratory is currently recruiting trainee alchemists. Those who have received the popularization of primary education in the town and passed the assessment can accept recruitment. Those who pass the pass can not only receive generous rewards, but also have the opportunity to become an outstanding alchemist like Mr. Strier!"

There was a noise in the crowd again, and Kaimo himself looked impatient. He took the medal and said angrily, "You called me here for this? It's really a waste of time. I might as well do a few more experiments."

"This is a great opportunity for publicity. Don't you often complain about insufficient staff," Roland shrugged. "When the laboratory doubles in size, I will write "Medium Chemistry" and give it to you for teaching."

"Medium...chemistry?" Kaimo immediately bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Although concentration is important, it is also urgent to cultivate successors. The larger the mass base, the easier it is to achieve results in the project, and the same is true for scientific research. Roland does not intend to put all the eggs in one basket, and of course he will not let go of such a perfect advertising opportunity.

The last person is Nanava.

Looking at the little girl who was walking to her side and looking a little nervous, Roland couldn't help but feel very moved.

Compared to the hiding and hiding in the Evil Yueshi, now he finally planned to push the witch to everyone. After nearly half a year of preparation, the town has now ushered in the best situation. Choosing Nanava as his representative was also his choice after careful consideration: in the First Army, she was called an angel by the soldiers, and her reputation was higher than that of the Iron Axe, second only to herself. Many residents of the town have also received her treatment. Whether it is a mine accident or a mechanical injury, everyone has developed the habit of seeking treatment for the little angel when they are injured.

After watching the performance of the drama "Witch Story", the serfs no longer resisted the witches as before. The image of a woman with tortuous fate but courageous struggle in the play has won many favors and sympathy.

The fugitives survived because of Lily's ability. Even if some people hate witches in their hearts, they will not speak ill of each other after being rescued. What's more, they are not weak individuals who are chased by the church - at least in the border town, these women with extraordinary abilities are protected by the lord.

And the most critical point is that even if the believers of the church want to expose it, it will be difficult to cause any storm in the Western Region. The town is completely under its own rule. The church in Changge Fortress was razed to the ground by Tifeko, and the church lost its stronghold to monitor the Western Region. Unless they go to the farther Zhulongling and Chishui City, they cannot find any priests who are reported.

"This is--" Before Roland could speak up, thunderous cheers burst out from the square.

"Miss Nanava! Miss Nanava is here!"

"Miss Angel, thank you for curing my husband!"

"Miss, I must have dinner at home if I have time. I have two chickens, either steamed egg custard or stewed chicken soup!"

"Nanawa, she looked at me!"

"No, I'm looking at me!"

Nanava couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her eyes became wet. Roland believed that other witches had the same feeling as her at the moment - they finally got rid of the evil person imposed on them by the church, and would walk in the sun like ordinary people in the future. Roland smiled and patted her head, "Don't be afraid, just respond to everyone's enthusiasm simply. Don't forget that you are the representative of the Witch Alliance now."
