Dawn of the Grey Tower

z2Chapter 2: Opening speech

Attending formal occasions has not always been a good thing for cheese. As early as during training in the Grey Tower, he hated various etiquette courses. That’s not to say that he thinks these etiquettes are useless. On the contrary, the cheese knows that complicated ceremonies and elegant speech are extremely important to its users. But he never thought he would be one of them. He never thought he would be a person in power. Because he is a spellcaster, he just wants to explore the unknown side of the world, not waste energy and time on the known side.

Therefore, when Gloria proposed to let the cheese say something to the rats at the beginning of the celebration, the mage fell into a rather awkward position. Especially when the Baroness Ratman had spoken a near-perfect opening statement before him. Although the mouse ’s facial expression is not speculative, the cheese has many reasons to believe that Gloria ’s smile is not all a ceremonial smile. She must be vengeful for this small closure in this way. The mentor who couldn’t get out of the door felt heartily happy.

The cheese looked at the many ratmen gathered in the underground square, their eyes reflected the light in the torch. This scene will make people who don’t know the rat-human feel horrified, but several people standing in the upper part of the square know that it is not a group of hairy monsters in front of them, they are also human beings like themselves. In addition to the information Gloria told himself just now, the cheese already knew very well why the baroness had to bring herself to the scene of the festival this time. So he cleared his throat and began to speak.

“Today is the fifth celebration. At this time five years ago, Ms. Gloria suggested to me to hold a celebration to rejuvenate the lowly people. I agreed. Now it seems that her suggestion has been fruitful. See Come around, my friends, in five years you have turned the den into a castle. This is a feat I have never seen. ”

The words of the cheese drew a burst of cheers from the rat people. Indeed, in the past five years, every valley rat person spent all of them to build and transform their homes. They deserve such praise. The other people who stood behind the cheese could not help applauding together with the rat people. This underground city also had something they paid for.

“You dig rock, you build farmland, you guide the flowing water, and after going through these, no one can say that the ratman is a beast. No matter how your appearance changes, it turns out that I didn’t look away at the time, you are still this land Children. “Instead of using the word human, cheese uses the vague term” children of the land “to describe the rat people. The Ratman is no longer human. As a witness who personally participated in the plague of the Ratman, the Master knew this.

But not all ratmen can accept this fact, especially the more timely ratmen who were rescued by the agent of cheese. They still clearly retain their memories of being humans, and some of them even have uninfected relatives. Living elsewhere in the kingdom. Therefore, there are still some ratmen in the valley city who think that they are a human in their hearts. No, it should be said that most ratmen think so. But the problem lies here. In the past five years, the valley has rarely communicated with the outside world, because there are Marcus in the middle of the blue lion, and there is a cheese outside to set up the image of a powerful wizard. The rat talent can win this precious value. Time to consolidate itself. However, such a pretense is not long-lasting, and the cheese did not intend to make the rat people really become a hidden race to live here forever. Therefore, if you do n’t try to make the Ratmen and the humans understand and communicate with each other, when the Ratmen who regard themselves as humans and the Humans who regard the Rats as monsters will meet again sooner or later, the war will ignite between the two races, and He may no longer be able to protect them as he did five years ago. In particular, it was the case where the Ratmen first launched the war.

This is the purpose of Gloria asking for cheese. As the substantive leader of the rat people, Gloria could not directly explain the possible danger of the ethnic group, because she did not have such a position, because she was also a rat person. The cheese is different. He is not a ratman, and the ratmen do not regard him as a human, because he is a wizard, and his identity is beyond the race. In this way, he can say what Gloria can’t say as a mentor, and avoid certain situations.

“I do n’t know how many of you have left the valley in recent years. I do n’t think much, because I do n’t need to go outside. I can imagine their hostility to us. But is that wrong? If it was five years ago, It ’s not you who are infected, but they. People who are hiding underground will be different if they want to come. Humans are afraid of ratmen, so hate ratmen for granted. Ratmen are rejected by humans, killed by humans and turned to hate humans. Taken for granted. But what are the results of these two take for granted? Did you spend your precious lives surviving the plague and build this magnificent underground city just to be a murderer? That is really sad. ”

The words of the cheese silenced the rats who were still cheering. Some ratmen lowered their heads, some ratmen watched him waiting for the answer, and some ratmen began to show boredom and dissatisfaction. He looked at it. That’s why the mage doesn’t like to be a leader. Every eye on the scene, whether good or evil, right or wrong, is like a chain, wrapped around the cheese, making him unable to break free and pulling him into the endless quagmire of the world ~ www. wuxiax.com ~ Can he escape? There is only one gray tower in this world. If he had escaped, he had to hide in the only high tower outside the world, and he wouldn’t look out until he died. Because the outside world is like this.

“I saw that some of you are pregnant and some take your children, which is good. This means that we have a future. You are not the undead remaining after a plague, you are ratmen, and your children will also be Ratmen. So, I hope you can think about the children born in this city, even if you have tasted the maliciousness outside, they should not know what it looks like in the sun for life. Say on such a day This kind of remark is too heavy, but it ’s been five years, and it ’s time to think about it. ”

“Then you can tell us the answer is not good? Just like you tell us how to plan the city? Could you tell us what we should do? We will follow your instructions completely, even if you can’t understand, even if you are dissatisfied, We fully trust you! “Said a ratman boldly, who was the minister who had previously asked whether Gloria Cheese would attend the ceremony.

The cheese looked at this rat man, and then at other rat men. “I asked the angry lion a question five years ago. His answer made me decide to stand on the side of the rat man. Today, I want to ask you this Question, but I do n’t want your answer, because this question is no longer my question. You have to ask yourself, rat-man, is it a human or a monster? ”

Finished, the mage turned around and left the underground square. He whispered as he walked past Gloria, “So I said, I’m not good at this.”
