"Glorious citizens of Cecil, good afternoon, I am your lord."
The majestic and deep voice from Duke Cecil resounded in the square, and the whole square was silent.
Everyone opened their mouths and stared wide-eyed, staring at the huge holographic image in the center of the square in astonishment and confusion, as if they were watching some miracle that fell from the sky.
Even the soldiers standing in the center of the square and guarding the communicator had a hint of excitement on their faces: Although they could only see a messy spot of light and a part of the clear image due to the viewing angle of the projection, they It is very clear that the content on this image is what is happening at this moment. Their lord is standing in Cecil City at this moment, but he has actually transmitted his figure and voice here.
Consul Daedalus also raised his head a little excitedly, and whispered to himself softly: "As expected... unbelievable..."
And the voice echoing in the square continued after a short pause:
"... Citizens, I am honored and proud to tell you that Rock Fortress has been captured by the brave and loyal Cecil Combat Corps, and the remnants of the rebellious nobles hiding in the fortress have also been captured...
"...the land is safe, at least for now.
"Citizens, this honor belongs to every Cecilian, not just the Cecilians on the Whitewater River, but also all of you who are gathered in front of the holographic projection at this moment, including those who cannot come to the party, but are still in your respective jobs. Others who work hard in their posts, including everyone living in the land of the southern border, whether you are farmers, mercenaries, merchants, knights, officials, serfs, or even slaves, no matter where you used to come from, now, you Everyone will share this glory. You are the cornerstone and pillar of the Principality of Cecil. Your hard work and wisdom will make this land stronger and greater...
"But safety is not eternal. There are still enemies eyeing us, the rebellious eastern border that is trying to overthrow the kingdom, the second royal family that was exempted by the Duke of the Kingdom, Typhon outside the border of the kingdom, and the evil hidden in the shadows. Christians, even within our principality... Our enemies will always be there.
"Let us remain vigilant and ready to meet these threats, and let us remain strong and never fear these challenges...
"And until the challenge comes, before the peace is broken, citizens, build and enjoy this great time. What I promise you will stand. The settlers will get the land, the hard-working serfs will be free and Belonging to their own property, those who join the factory will be rewarded according to their hard work, and those who are active in childbearing, active in learning, enlisting in the army, farming and doing business will also have their own rewards.
"And I will be proud of you."
The picture and sound ended, but the silence in the square continued for a long time. It wasn't until several minutes later that it was unknown who was the first to cheer in the crowd, followed by the second and third cheers stand up.
Then the whole square cheered.
However, in fact, more than half of the people are just cheering along. They haven't fully understood what happened before them, nor have they fully understood the meaning of every word the lord said before. The atmosphere of the society is wrapped in a certain blind enthusiasm for conformity, but what does it matter
For commoners who hardly have any entertainment, and have seen and come into contact with very little news in their lives, they saw incredible magical miracles today, saw the lord appearing in the giant projection, heard the lord's speech, Hearing the news of the victory on the front line, he was even greatly encouraged, which of course deserves cheers!
So people cheered, whether they understood it or not, they all cheered together, and in this cheering, they really felt a little bit of pride, although these people who once belonged to the Earl of Horsman hadn't touched it yet. The complete concept of "glorious labor" and "strive to build a new era", but the lord has said it, to be proud of them... that is very honorable.
In the center of the square, where the political officials were standing, a young female political official couldn’t help being moved after hearing the cheers resounding throughout the square and seeing the collective enthusiasm of so many people, she said to herself Get up: "Is this what the lord said... the power of the people?"
"No, it's just blind people," said Daedalus, the mayor of Hossman City, shaking his head, "In the words of Mentor Hetty, it's 'inspired by the atmosphere and words easily, not Thinking people', they are still far from the truly awakened citizens who rely on their own consciousness to work enthusiastically, and that is the real 'Cecil citizen'."
"Blindly agitating..." The young female political officer was a little surprised, but she was obviously one of the apprentices who had been taught by Heidi, so she quickly nodded thoughtfully, "That's right... this side is still in its infancy stage..."
"It doesn't matter, even the people who are temporarily aroused by enthusiasm are good, at least they are better than the stagnant pool of life before them," Daedalus said softly, "The lord once said another sentence, that is, 'low-efficiency labor is better than labor. No labor'. A place like Horsman is different from the pioneering land of Cecil. The people here are much less stressed and have their own way of life, so if they want to burst out their enthusiasm for construction, Sometimes some 'incentive' like this is needed. We don't need it to work long-term, just temporarily."
The two government officials finished their conversation, and the cheers and drum noise in the square gradually weakened. Daedalus then stepped forward, and with the help of amplification magic, his voice resounded through the square:
"Citizens of Hossman City, what you saw just now are images and pictures transmitted by a large magic network communicator. In the next month, we will set up the same public address devices in three other places in the city. …
"In addition, the 'civilian communication point' for ordinary people will also be opened in the near future. Regarding the knowledge about the use of the Magic Net communicator, you can wait for the soldiers to explain and read it, or you can read the relevant content on the bulletin boards and newspapers.
"Let us thank everyone who has worked hard in the magic network communication project, and thank its inventors and builders."
…
Cecil City, in the temporary "Broadcast Hall" built in the Institute of Magic Technology.
The first broadcast of the magic net communication era was over, but to be honest, at the beginning of its birth, Gawain never thought that its first broadcast would be his own "speech".
Frankly, what he said was not what he most wanted to say.
But he is more aware that what he speaks is the most effective in this period.
Propaganda should consider the audience, the audience's worldview, and their understanding ability and thinking mode. In this semi-test and semi-official broadcast, the coverage of the magic network communication is the Hosman area in the west and the Panshi-Ka in the north. The Lore-Kand line extends eastward to Glenland. Although the coverage area is far from reaching the entire southern border, it is still quite a large area. Within this range, 90% of the audience are Just became a resident of Cecil.
Unlike the people in Cecil City, these "new citizens" have not received modern general education, nor have they been in contact with the magic industry society, and they don't even know a few words. What they can understand is still the old The order under the rule of the nobles at that time, if you tell them something that is too advanced and advanced, not only will they not understand, they may even start to question the new lord.
Therefore, it is better to encourage and agitate, at least let these "new citizens" have a little motivation to build a new life.
Gao Wen left the platform where he was speaking, and Rebecca, who was monitoring the situation not far away from a pile of flickering rune substrates, immediately came up to him: "Master Ancestor! You were so imposing just now. !"
Gao Wen rubbed Rebecca's hair casually: "How is the signal situation everywhere?"
"The feedback has come back, only the signal quality near the Rock Fortress is very poor. It is suspected that the relay tower temporarily installed during the war is not effective, or the magic turbulence generated after the collapse of the Rock Fortress's big magic shield is still affecting the local magic field. , I have already informed the Valde Knight in the fortress to send a group of magic technicians to collect the data of the nearby magic field, and I will study it when I come back. Other than that, the signals in other places are very good.”
"Okay," Gawain nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Kamel who was floating not far away, "Kammel, thank you for your hard work this time."
Thanks to the ancient arcane master who worked overtime to adjust the entire magic network communication network, and led a group of technicians in the Magic Technology Research Institute to rush out a primitive "broadcasting hall", Gawain and Rebecca returned This very time-sensitive broadcast can only be carried out as soon as possible after arriving in the territory.
"This is my duty," Kamel bent down slightly, and then looked at the magic communication terminal in the center of the hall, his tone full of emotion, "Signal broadcast...I really didn't expect to see it again in this era …”
"Not only can you see it, but you can see it everywhere in the near future." Gawain laughed. He was not satisfied with turning such a useful magic network communication system into a simple "lord's speech amplification" Now that the idea of "global broadcasting" has been proved through experiments to be feasible, then he will use this set of gadgets to realize many good things he has come into contact with in his previous life.
Although the current communication devices are still very primitive, and the traditional audio-visual recording spells have not yet achieved mass production in the magic industry, but perhaps he can already consider building a "radio (magic) television network" in some areas of the southern border...
Of course, it may be too early for this idea to appear. After all, even the Magic Network Communication Bureau in the Government Affairs Office has just established a framework. However, since the material technology has been realized, Gao Wen believes that it is only a matter of time before the normalized and practical information broadcasting in the territory is realized.
While Gawain, Rebecca, and Kamel gathered in the Institute of Magical Technology to study the communicator enthusiastically, Nicholas Egg finally completed a new work in the Mechanical Institute located in the east of the city.
A cylinder with a smooth surface and a large number of runes engraved on the side floated in front of him.
"Oh my god... it's over..." There was a happy buzz inside the iron ball star, "The new alloy material is not so difficult to deal with..."
