arcane emperor

Chapter 70 Honor and Yearning
The raging flames "whisper" burning.

The body was gradually swallowed up, and the family members standing nearby could not help but cry out.

The scorching firelight illuminated the cheeks of everyone around him.

Angela, with a solemn face, shouted in a low and distant voice:

"Hajira...Frel...Kuco...Rashinen...they are worthy heroes."

"They fought heroically to protect Bay Village and to protect other people."

"Until sacrifice, I never took a step back!"

"The Lord has ordered us to build a mausoleum of heroes in the center of the village and bury them in it."

"And we will record this battle, everyone's efforts, and their sacrifices in the historical documents of Bay Village!"

"Our descendants will follow their example..."

"At the same time, the family members of the victims will receive a one-time pension of 5 gold coins and a permanent lease of 20 acres of land."

"The family will receive a monthly pension of 10 silver coins as living expenses."

"Underage children will receive focused training from the territory until they reach adulthood."

"..."

Angela's voice was not particularly loud, but it was extremely clear. With the help of amplification technology, it reached the ears of everyone present.

Upon hearing the unprecedented "Heroes Cemetery", all the soldiers present couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they felt the blood boiling in their chests.

Quite a number of people who embark on the career path do it for a better life, and many of them do it to change their destiny.

But almost everyone wants their reputation to be passed down and remembered by future generations.

Now, Bay Village and the Lord have satisfied their wishes and desires, making every soldier's scalp numb with shock.

The families of the victims were in disbelief.

Field, the old village chief, took a puff of a cigarette but did not smoke it after all. He opened his mouth slightly, exhaled leisurely, blinked hard, held back the moist corners of his eyes, and recalled the past scenes in his mind.

"Pensus? What kind of pension? It is your honor to sacrifice for the Netheril Empire!"

"It is your duty to fight for the lord..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...My son..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to bring him back?"

"The village belongs to the lord, why are you working so hard? Isn't it enough to just live your own life?"

"Don't go, it's too dangerous..."

"Send yourself to death and don't come back!"

"Grandpa, the village chief...where is my father?"

"..."

The old village chief Field, who sees people, things, and enemies very clearly, cannot see through the entire Netheril Empire, nor the cold and ruthless lords, nor the one who everyone calls "the great one" The great arcanists!
They are always aloof and never lower their heads to take a look at the people who are teetering on the edge of life and death.

They obviously have the power to destroy the world, but they can't even clean up the weak kobolds and fishmen.

They can lift a city into the sky, but the civilians use farm tools tied to wood.

Matthew, the new lord, has shown a completely different attitude and ideas. Can he maintain it forever?

"He will! We won't let him down!"

Gritting his teeth hard, the old village chief Field silently watched the people talking, and could clearly feel their thoughts.

Heartbroken!
Totally excited!
Not far away, the curious adventurers looked at each other. They never expected to see such an incredible scene.

"It seems that the Lordan Empire, which values ​​honor the most, doesn't have such good pension conditions, right?"

"Not to mention the Lordan Empire, Falsico, the richest human empire in the south, has not done this..." "You think, if our adventurous career is over in the future, how about we live in Bay Village?"

"Who knows how long it will last? Maybe it's a scam..."

"I think it's true. I've never seen civilians in any territory with such amazing energy!"

"It's completely different. This lord has given too much..."

"I think it would be good to join Bay Village now..."

"Ahem, don't think so much now. The situation outside the dark forest is almost complete. We will start hunting soon..."

"The adventure mission in this territory is too strange. All the information collected is actually made public..."

"Isn't this great? Not only does it allow us to avoid many dangers, but we also gain more."

"Yes, didn't the large piece of moonlight flowers you found two days ago just come from the map?"

"But it's really interesting. They only collect adult materials, and they also use magic to detect whether they have sown new seeds?"

"Yes, if you break it, you will be severely punished. I just saw an unlucky guy..."

"In this case, energy can be collected continuously, and everyone can make money!"

"I have never enjoyed such a pleasant adventure..."

"Who said no?"

"..."

The adventurers joined in the discussion one after another, and the topic focused more on Lord Matthew's unprecedented kindness.

In their opinion, everything Matthew did was just because he was kind-hearted.

At the same time, these smart and bold adventurers, after investigating the situation these days, have found traces of some lone trolls.

They are discussing to work together in the past two days to make some hunting attempts.

After all, although everyone's cooperation will reduce income, it can ensure greater safety.

Moreover, the adventurers' doubts about the high bounties on trolls have not been dispelled.

They are also worried that the lord will default on his debts!

Compared to these adventurers, the people temporarily living in Bay Village had a completely different experience.

"Tom, let's try tomorrow. If we can pass the exam and become reserve soldiers, then at least we won't have to worry about our lives."

Labor and sufficient food made Jifan, who was originally thin, no longer look so thin.

Opposite him, Tom, who was cooking, nodded quite submissively.

Ever since he was a child, Jifan has always been the one who comes up with ideas. As long as he is obedient, the other party will not harm him anyway.

Xiao Jixiang subconsciously widened her eyes. She seemed to be thinking more and asked in a hesitant tone:
"Brother, is there any danger?"

After chewing and grinding the black bread carefully, then mixing it with the fish soup and swallowing it, Jifan thought about the information collected in the past few days, and said in a firm tone and tone:
"What job is not dangerous? Even when farming in wasteland, some people were unlucky enough to almost be burned to death. Fortunately, they were rescued by the soldiers and guards."

"Before, we were not qualified to grasp power. Now that we have this luck, we must grasp it in our hands!"

Xiao Jixiang pursed her lips. She was far more mature than other people her age. Thinking back to the precarious and frightened days in the past, she nodded subconsciously:
"Brother, you are right. I heard from some students in Bay Village that there will be a test in the territory."

"If you have the talent of a spell caster, you will most likely be selected into the territory's professional training academy."

"People with outstanding talents may even be accepted as apprentices by the lord himself..."

Seeing the little guy mumbling to himself, the face that was originally thin due to hunger gradually returned to the whiteness of a child. Jifan nodded silently and said with encouragement with a little hope:

"Let's work hard first, and then see if luck will take care of us..."

　Seek collection, seek follow-up
