Section 3 announced

People looked around curiously, wondering where Ashu Rufate would come from. But on the one hand, it was too late, and on the other hand, the tobacco smoke was really thick, so almost no one found where Ashu Rufate was. Besides, the respectable Miklesco did not leave the speech table, so people quickly turned their attention back to Miklesco.

"Finally, let us raise our glasses to celebrate the growing prosperity of our association and the new progress it will make. I don't need to say more about the glorious journey of this association. The association's trophy exhibition hall is the best proof. The association's contribution to the dwarf society is obvious to all. And there are also the contributions of each of our ordinary members. Being able to participate in this evaluation and give a member a title that matches his strength is a great honor for me! No matter which king or patriarch, even the Supreme King, has never been reluctant to use their most precious words of praise to our association. What I want to add is that these words are appropriate. If everyone agrees with me, and have this glass of wine with me, toast to the tenth founder of the Engineers Association and its glorious tomorrow!!!"

Of course, everyone agreed with Miklesco's proposal. The wine in the bottle was poured into the wine glass, and the wine in the wine glass was poured into the throat, as neatly as a river flowed into the sea.

After doing this, the respected founder jumped off the small platform. By the way, because he brought a barrel, the other eight founders who had been standing in the stage just now did not miss a glass of wine.

Almost no one noticed that a figure had arrived in the speech stage. However, when the dwarves came to their senses, they found that there was an additional figure on the speech stage. Only a very small number of viewers saw how the newcomer nimbled on the speech stage - this agility had almost surpassed the physiological limits of the dwarves.

But this is an insignificant little detail. After drinking three large glasses in a row, even the dwarf who is good at drinking has to take a breath, eat something or smoke so that his stomach can digest these delicious wines as quickly as possible. Therefore, almost everyone turned their attention away from the wine glass and looked at the speech table. There is no doubt that the winner of this selection, the youngest great caster in history, Ashu Rufate, is the owner of the "Furniture and Tomahawk", Karaz, the great wine merchant and wealthy man of Karak, and the sponsor of this selection event.

As the legend says, this dwarf is still very young. If you are an ordinary soldier, in terms of age, those old dwarf soldiers with long beards are fully qualified to glance at him contemptuously, and then spit out a faint title of "child". However, engineers do not determine status by age, at least not entirely by age. Although the general concept of the dwarfs is that a longer beard means wisdom, even those old dwarfs with long beards hanging on their chins must admit that in terms of engineering technology, young people do have more ideas.

The big wine merchant was wearing a robe that was very luxurious to the dwarf, and the beard on his chin was wavy according to the habits of young people. In fact, there was nothing special about his appearance except for his clothes. But for some reason, people could clearly feel a sharp aura emanating from him. He was the kind of person who stood in front of you and you couldn't help but focus on it. As mentioned earlier, most of the dwarfs were smoking at this time. But Asu Ruffatt looked around, and wherever he saw, all the dwarfs couldn't help but stop smoking and let the tobacco burn in the cigarette pipe.

"Dear colleagues from the association." Ashu Rufat spoke. Although he spoke in dwarf language, his voice had a clear foreign accent. "First of all, I thank all the judges and colleagues for their kindness to me. It is precisely through your support that I have received this honor."

This is the opening remark of a classic speech. Every dwarf engineer is ready to listen to a long speech. This is not so much a tradition of appointment by the new Grand Founder, but rather a dwarf's nature that loves to show off. When a dwarf suddenly gains such a high status, why doesn't he be overjoyed? Why doesn't he deliver an ambitious speech? Such speeches are naturally like recalling the past and looking forward to the future. This is the case with all the great founders of history.

"But," continued Ashurufate. "Don't think I'll give a traditional speech here, about my personal origin, the glory of my ancestors, the glory of my tribe. No, no, I don't plan to be an official article here to be intoxicated by me. Dear colleagues, I'm here now, just want to talk about things, things that I think are very unfair, but have to accept. I hope I will stand here, chat with everyone like a brother, and say something in my heart."

"Everyone here, we believe that we are among the elites in the dwarf society - I don't think everyone will have any objections to this. We build machinery, we invent and create cities, we provide irreplaceable roles for all kings, leaders and generals. I believe that each of us is very confident, and we believe that our talents and virtues are enough to make anyone admire them. As engineers, we must have the virtues of patience, agility, calmness, wisdom, etc. It is not so much a profession, but an art, a great art!"

Undoubtedly, the speech of the great caster Ashu Rufate was too cater to the hearts of the engineers present. No dwarf would praise too much. It must be pointed out that Ashu Rufate did not endlessly praise his colleagues, but he was never afraid that others would say that he was exaggerated. He did not hesitate to put the noble activities of the engineers above all activities, and praised various engineering and technical creativity, inventions and experiments, and even talked about the legendary era, how engineers laid the foundation for great victory again and again with their great inventions.

By the way, many historical events mentioned by this newly promoted Grand Founder were the first time the audience heard of. Of course, even if there was a ungrateful guy who planned to verify the historical events mentioned by Ashu Rufate one by one, he would find that this was purely useless. Because things in these eras were no longer verified, most of the classics were lost. Besides, Ashu Rufate mentioned "small details in history", and they were all small details that were not usually recorded in history books, such as an engineer who improved the cannon in the battle, thus exerting a key effect, or an engineer who used a new invention to give the general the opportunity to turn the situation around. As for whether these details had happened, it was impossible to verify in detail - no one could, unless the past reappeared and turned back time.

In addition, all present were members of the Engineers Association. The glorious years of the seniors always make the younger generation look bright, right? In fact, perhaps everyone knows that the story told by this great founder is not recorded in history books. But at this moment, no one will point this out. Not only that, these words also made everyone excited and burst into fanatical cheers.

"...But today, let's see how far we have fallen to!" Ashurufate just aroused the enthusiasm of the audience with his passion and unproven facts, but immediately changed the subject. "The association left by our great ancestors can only stay in a not-conspicuous corner of Karaz, the city of Karak. We are crowded in a small space, and we are even worried about the size of the association's trophy exhibition hall. What did I see when I stand here?"

Ashu Rufate paused again. Attracted by his speech, the engineers present stopped what they had to do and quietly waited for him to continue speaking.

"I saw that the long-term years have suffocated the great/glory of the predecessors of the association! I saw that we, the members of the Association of Engineers, had forgotten that we should create greater glory instead of staying in the achievements of our predecessors! What new achievements have we made? Apart from the more displays in our loot showroom, and what else can we have besides the praises given to us by the kings who received our service and the patriarch? No! We have nothing! We even need to sponsor a selection of a great caster. Our headquarters of the Association of Engineers does not even have a large enough hall to carry out such a crucial event!"

"Is this the glory we want? Is this the result that can satisfy us?!"

Below the speaker, Naragrim was also attracted by the remarks. In fact, all nine other great founders were surprised by the statements of this young colleague.

"What does that little guy want to do?" Naragrim asked his companions around him.

"I don't know, but... what he said makes sense, doesn't he?"

Naragrim stared at Ash Rufate on the stage. This young big caster had some traits that seemed to be completely different from the dwarf. This did not refer to his expression or appearance, but an expression of his inner spiritual quality. Only an old guy like Naragrim could feel it.

"We cannot provide a good experimental place for young generations. We have the best mentors, but we lack the appropriate conditions. Our members have to worry about many things that have nothing to do with our inventions and creations, and our engineering art all day long. I believe everyone has a feeling that this is a bottleneck and an obstacle to the growth of our association. And the strategy we are currently pursuing is unable to break through this bottleneck and remove this obstacle!" On the stage, Ashu Rufate was still making passionate remarks.

"I want to ask, Master Ashu Rufate!" Suddenly, Naragrim spoke. Because Ashu Rufate has already won the title of Grand Foundry, everyone should respectfully call him "Master" when they are more formally called him. This is even Naragrim, who is also a Grand Foundry, is no exception. "I admit all the questions you have mentioned, but I want to ask, how should we solve this problem?"

This issue resonated with many people present.

"Yes, yes, how should we solve it? This is a problem!" Ash Rufate on the stage said loudly. "This dream has been floating in my mind for many years. But today, I think it should be the time to share my dream with everyone. I want to tell everyone that I have only one conclusion! Our great association must have its own city!"

A series of awesome sounded from all directions.

"Yes! You hear it right! A city, a great, brilliant, beautiful, exquisite, but also belongs to the Engineers Association! We, everyone present, including me, will rule and manage everything! All our wonderful ideas can be realized in this city. Think about it, if we own a city, what else can stop our association from growing? We can be free - everyone can understand this by imagination alone - develop all new technologies. We will have a huge library to collect our knowledge, not a small room in a small building. We will have a spacious place for new people to learn and experiment. There will never be a great invention without the opportunity to practice. We will also completely solve the problem of insufficient funds for the association..."

The dwarf engineers at the table have even forgotten the wine on the table. A city dedicated to all engineers? What a wonderful future!
