Chapter 340 The Reason for the Choice

The strange people who rushed out of the crowd were all shot dead. The sudden change caused panic among the refugees. Dozens of soldiers wearing strange weapons surrounded them. There were constant screams at the scene, and the situation gradually became uncontrollable. At this time, His Royal Highness's sonorous voice suddenly resounded above the crowd——

"Be quiet, my people. I am your lord, Roland Wimbledon. Listen to me now."

Although the voice is loud, it is not a hysterical roar, but a clear and steady direct statement. Vader felt that the other party was speaking close to his ear. There was an undeniable power in his words, which overwhelmed the noise and panic at the scene.

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

"As you heard when you came here, Border Town will provide you with shelter from the wind and snow, food that can fill your stomach, and many jobs with good wages. I am here to tell you that these are true .”

"The house is a thick earthen house, without a single gap for air leakage. There is a charcoal stove under the bed. Sleeping on it is as comfortable as lying on the grass baked by the summer sun. As long as the doors and windows are closed, even if you only wear single clothes in the room , and it doesn't feel cold at all."

"The food is served with wheat porridge with jerky. When you dig it up with a spoon, you can see the grains of wheat dripping down. When you pour it into your mouth, it will fall slowly because of its high viscosity. Just one bowl can fill your stomach."

Hearing this, Vader suddenly felt hungry. What His Royal Highness said was very novel. He did not repeatedly emphasize his power and the obligations of the people like most nobles, declaring that all people under his rule must follow his own will, but from the perspective of the people's most concern, through To describe his promise in terms of food and clothing, and looking at the fascinated expressions on the faces of the refugees by the pier, one knows that his words are undoubtedly more touching.

"I hope that all the citizens can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, but the enemies lurking in the dark don't want to see this scene. These beasts that rushed out are undoubtedly sent by them. The reason is very simple. They I don't want to see me alive, and I don't want my people to live a comfortable life."

"If I'm gone, will there be other lords who will provide warm housing and delicious food? You should be very clear about this, just look at what happened to you before. I'm the only one who is willing to do this. "

Vader found that the panic dissipated. When those monsters who acted differently from ordinary people were regarded as a common enemy, the uneasiness and worry of the refugees gradually turned into anger—the murderers who tried to harm His Highness also wanted to destroy their beautiful life. A scoundrel of life, such a man must never be forgiven.

"In order to prevent the attack from happening again, the inspection needs to be repeated. This time, my personal guards will be in charge of the body search and verification. We will never let any enemy have a chance to destroy everything!"

Everyone obeyed His Highness's will, and those who had crossed the checkpoint were brought back to the dock area by the guards. No one protested, and the order was even much more orderly than before.

As expected of His Royal Highness, Vader couldn't help but sigh with emotion, just a few words could eliminate the impending panic invisible.

"I heard that you were the first to discover the problem just now?" Carter Lannis walked over and said, "Come with me, Your Highness wants to see you."

He followed behind the chief knight, came to the young prince, knelt down on one knee and said, "I salute you."

"Tell me, how did you find out that there was something wrong with him?" the prince asked.

Vader truthfully reported his findings.

"Keep observation, you were just an ordinary civilian before?"

"No, Your Highness. I used to serve in the Golden Harvest City patrol team," he replied honestly, "I did it for almost six years, until Golden Harvest City was attacked by a large number of pirates."

"But your resume does not indicate any specialties," said the prince. "I asked Carter, and he said that you are still staying in the temporary housing area. In other words, when the city hall registered the early residents, you concealed yourself. experience - and it's completely unnecessary. Why?"

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the word resume, it didn't affect his answer to this question. Vader hesitated for a moment, and told the prince about Kakusim, "Without this prisoner, I couldn't have come here alive. Border Town, so I can't leave him alone in the West District."

"So I want to be a patrol member, and I can give him some extra care when performing patrol tasks in the future?"

"I..." Wade's heart suddenly tightened. From the previous punishment, it can be seen that His Highness is very concerned about whether there is a violation of the system, and his actions are obviously suspected of crossing the line.

"Don't worry, you haven't done this yet, and you won't be punished just for thinking." The other party smiled as if he had seen through his own thinking.

However, this sentence also made Vader feel a little disappointed. There is no doubt that His Highness does not agree with this approach. Even if he successfully becomes a policeman, if he is biased in handling disputes, he will only follow in the footsteps of that city hall clerk.

"Do you have any family?" the prince suddenly asked.

"...They all died in the looting of Jinsui City."

"Where's Kakusim?"

"Probably not." Although he didn't understand why His Highness asked this, Vader still replied truthfully, "If there was, the rats would not choose him as a scapegoat."

"Any person with any special status can have priority to obtain the right to rent a residential complex, and get an identity card issued by the city hall, and enjoy all the powers of the citizens. Of course, their family members are also included," The prince smiled, "You should understand what I mean, right?"

Vader was stunned, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "You agreed to let me take Kakusim..."

"Take the old man to the city hall to register, and they will arrange it for you."

He held back his excitement, knelt down again and said, "Your Highness is merciful!"

"Don't relax, keep your vigilance today," the prince nodded, "If you fail the follow-up assessment, even if you become family members, you can only stay in the temporary residence temporarily."

"yes!"

The matter on his mind was finally settled, and Vader felt a lot more relaxed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered the matter of the paper test. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, I didn't know the answers to many questions in the first round of the test, and I wrote them down completely indiscriminately. Why did you still choose me?"

"Because there is no correct answer," the prince raised his lips. "Any answer is different from person to person. The key to this test is not the answer, but the examination of the applicant's literacy level and writing ability. As long as you can If you understand the topic and write your own thoughts, you will pass the test."
