The strange people who rushed out of the crowd were all killed. The sudden change caused a panic among the refugees. Dozens of soldiers wearing strange weapons gathered around. The scene kept screaming, and the situation gradually became uncontrollable. At this moment, His Royal Highness's loud voice suddenly resounded above the crowd.
"Quiet, my people. I am your lord, Roland Wimbledon. Listen to me now."
Although the voice was loud, it was not a hysterical roar, but a clear and steady statement. Vader felt that the other party was talking close to his ear. There was an unquestionable power in his words, which overcame the noise and panic at the scene.
The crowd suddenly quieted down.
"As you heard when you came, Frontier Town will provide you with shelter from the wind and snow, food to fill your stomach, and many well-paid jobs. I'm here to tell you that these are true ."
“The house is a thick mud room with no air leaks. 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, the room can be even wearing only a single coat. , and it won't feel cold at all."
"The food is wheat porridge with jerky. When you dig it up with a spoon, you can see the grains of wheat dripping. When you pour it into your mouth, it will slowly fall because of its thick consistency. You can fill your stomach with just one bowl."
Hearing this, Vader suddenly felt hungry. The content of what His Royal Highness said was very novel. He did not repeatedly emphasize his power and the obligation to rule the people like most nobles, and declared that everyone under his rule must obey his own will. Eating and dressing to describe his promise, looking at the fascinated expressions on the faces of the refugees at the dock, he knew that his words were undoubtedly more touching.
"I hope that all the territorial people can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, but the enemies hiding in the dark do not want to see this scene. These beasts that rushed out are undoubtedly sent by them. The reason is very simple. I don't want to see me alive, and I don't want my subjects to live a comfortable life."
"If I'm gone, will there be other lords to provide warm housing and delicious food? You should all know this, and you can understand it by looking at your previous experiences. I am the only one who is willing to do this. "
Vader found that the panic dissipated. When the monsters who acted like ordinary people were regarded as the common enemy, the unease and worry of the refugees gradually turned into anger and the murderers who tried to harm His Highness, and also wanted to destroy their beautiful life. A villain, such a person can never be forgiven.
"In order to prevent the attack from happening again, the inspection needs to be repeated. This time, my personal guard is responsible for the body search and verification, and no enemy will have the opportunity to destroy this!"
Everyone complied with His Highness's will, and those who had crossed the checkpoint were taken back to the dock area by the guards. No one protested, and the order was even more orderly than before.
As expected of His Royal Highness, Vader couldn't help but sighed that the impending panic was vanished in just a few words.
"I heard that you were the first to discover the problem just now?" Carter Lannis walked over and said, "Come with me, His Highness wants to see you."
He followed behind the chief knight, came to the young prince, knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings to you."
"Tell me, how did you find out that there was something wrong with him?" the prince asked.
Vader reported his findings truthfully.
"Sharp observation, you were just an ordinary civilian before?"
"No, Your Highness. I served in the Golden Spike City patrol," he replied honestly, "for almost six years, until Golden Spike City was attacked by a large number of pirates."
"But you don't have any specialties on your resume," the prince said. "I asked Carter and he said you're still in a temporary settlement. In other words, when the city hall registered the pre-occupancy, you hid yourself. experience and it's totally unnecessary. Why?"
Although he did not understand the meaning of the word resume, it did not affect his answer to this question. Vader hesitated for a moment and told the prince about Kakusim, "Without this prisoner, I would not have been able to come here alive. Border Town, so I can't leave him alone in the West District."
"So if you want to become a patrol member, can you give him some extra care when you perform patrol tasks in the future?"
"I..." Vader's heart suddenly tightened. From the previous sentence, 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 it yet, you won't be punished just by thinking." The other party seemed to see through his own thoughts and smiled.
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, once he handles the dispute in a biased manner, he will only follow in the footsteps of the city hall clerk.
"Do you have any family?" the prince asked suddenly.
"... They all lost their lives in the looting of Golden Spike City."
"Where's Kakusim?"
"It shouldn't," Vader answered truthfully despite not understanding why His Highness asked this, "If there were, the rat would not choose him as a scapegoat."
"Anyone with any special skills can have priority to obtain the right to rent a residential house, and get an ID card issued by the city hall, and enjoy the rights of all the residents. Of course, this also includes their family members," The prince smiled, "You should be able to understand what I mean?"
Vader was stunned for a while, and said in surprise: "You agree to let me take Kakusim..."
"Take the old man to the city hall to register, they will arrange it for you."
He suppressed his excitement, knelt down again and said, "Your Highness is merciful!"
"Don't let up, keep your vigilance today," the prince nodded. "If you can't pass the follow-up assessment, even if you become family members, you can only stay in the temporary residence area temporarily."
"Yes!"
The things on his mind were finally settled, and Vader felt relieved. When he was about to retire, he suddenly remembered the paper test. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, I didn't know the answer to many questions in the first round of the test. I wrote it down completely. Why did you still choose me?"
"Because there is no correct answer in the first place," the prince raised the corner of his mouth, "any answer is different from person to person. The key point of this test is not to answer, but to test the literacy level and writing ability of the applicant. As long as you can If you understand the question and write your own thoughts, this test is equal to passing.”.
