Chapter 200 Bonfire(1/2)
"Oh, damn it. I fainted at that time and couldn't see clearly what the life-saving benefactor looks like..."
"Father, I remember the totem on the face of the Coleman warrior who saved you had the moon and the snake..."
"My child, although our Brown family is poor, they are not people who are grateful and do not want to repay you. Let's go and leave your grandfather's sword and give it to the warrior. He saved my old bone's life, and we should repay him too. Oh, I hope that warrior won't despise it too young..."
“…”
Old Brown's ancestors were all blacksmiths. Over the years, he also learned some simple mechanical knowledge. Later, he was fortunate to become a entourage of a knight under the eldest princess, responsible for doing some simple repairs and maintenance of the knight's armor and machinery.
But just now, when the monster sieges the city, he unfortunately became the unlucky guy who was caught by Feilong as food.
He thought he was dead, and was grabbed by the dragon's grabbing like iron pliers. His fear and suffocation made him faint.
Then, when I woke up, I saw him in the hospital.
My son and the yellow-faced woman at home told him that he had just broken two ribs and was very lucky.

Then, after hearing that the person who saved him was the Coleman warrior, Old Brown could no longer lie down.
......
Renn and Yumier returned to the city, and Udo went to deal with the captured flying dragons.
This time, Feilong attacked the inner city and caused considerable damage. As the city lord and prime minister, he and Yumier naturally had to go and see the situation.
But when I was walking on the street, I was suddenly stopped.
It was a family of three, like a mother and child supporting an injured middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had a beard and an old face, wearing a coarse linen and a leather apron covered with iron filings. The most eye-catching thing was his calloused hands. It looked like he held a sword, but more like he often held an iron hammer.
Renn realized that this was an old blacksmith.
The middle-aged man with a slightly white face walked over and respectfully gave a breast-protecting salute, "Dear Princess, forgive the offense of a vulgar blacksmith. But I do need your help..."
Yumil was stopped and there was no distortion at all.
She looked at the person, smiled slightly, and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Brown?"
When Old Brown heard this, he looked obviously stunned for a moment.
He suddenly forgot what he was going to say, looked flattered and exclaimed: "Oh! Your Highness, do you actually remember my name?"
"Yes. I remember you are a very good blacksmith. Your forging skills are great. The Interior Official mentioned it to me..."
While speaking, Yumier was missing and had a smile that made people feel like spring breeze. He asked again: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Oh my God, the eldest princess actually remembers my name..."
Old Brown was excited and speechless, and kept repeating this sentence.
The son and wife beside him also had an incredible stiff expression. They never expected that the noble Princess would actually remember the name of an ordinary craftsman.
"Yes, I remember."
Yumil smiled kindly, looked at the half-grown young man who was supporting him next to him, and said, "This is your son Karen, right? I remember he signed up for the first mechanic class of our 'Black Dragon Academy'. In the future, he studied hard, and I think he will definitely become an excellent mechanic..."
When Old Brown finally couldn't help but burst into tears like soybeans when she heard that the eldest princess not only remembered her name but also her son's name.
He said with tears in his nose: "Oh! His Highness, the noble Princess... Little Karen has told me that he no longer wants to be a blacksmith like his incompetent father, but wants to become a real mechanic. But his poor family will never earn enough money to send him to the machinery shop as an apprentice. It is the kindness you who gave my son Little Karen a chance to become a real mechanic..."
He said, covering the stinging wound, crawling on the ground excitedly, kissing the ground in front of Yumier's feet.
The son and wife behind him also knelt down.
In other territories, "knowledge" is a privilege mastered by the nobles and a means of their control over learned civilians.
Civilians have no opportunity or way to receive education from the college at all. No aristocratic college will recruit civilian students.
The only way they want to become a mechanic apprentice is to spend a lot of money and find acquaintances to let me take some mechanics from the mechanical shops in the territory as apprentices, and be free apprentices for ten or eight years to learn some introductory mechanical knowledge.
This is how Old Brown came here. When he was young, he was lucky to earn some money when he was a waste hunter and learned some superficial mechanical knowledge. Then because of this craft, he ended his days of being cold and hungry, and got married and had children.
But now, he is old and has no ability to hunt the wasteland again, nor has he the ability to create the same opportunity for his son...
I originally thought that my son would follow his old path and be an ordinary blacksmith who would do nothing all his life. But I didn’t expect that when I came to Heilong City, I changed the fate of the family.
......
Yumil quickly wanted to help the simple old blacksmith and said, "It's not just because of me, but also the Lord Rennes and all the people who have contributed to the construction of this city. This Black Dragon City will be the common home for all of us in the future, and it will become more and more beautiful..."
But before she could help the three of the blacksmith family in front of her, the old Plain family of three seemed to have triggered a chain reaction. The craftsmen who were originally watching on the streets around also knelt together, and the sound of praise was higher than the waves like a tide.
"Thank you, the merciful eldest princess..."
"Your Highness, Lord Lord, praise your kindness. Because of you two, our descendants have the opportunity to learn valuable knowledge. Our descendants will always remember this great kindness..."
“…”
Some of these craftsmen were the leaders of the eldest princess, and some were recruited from elsewhere. Before coming to Heilong City, they did not know what kind of city they would participate in building.
I originally thought I was just a different place to be exploited, but I never thought that I came to a place that they felt was like a dream.
Not only does there not be high taxes here, but also allows civilians to have rights that only nobles and rich people in other territories enjoy.
Medical care, education...all are free!
It was like a pie falling from the sky, allowing all the leaders to feel the real benefits.
In other territories, the high taxes of the nobles exploited most of their wealth created by their labor. Those nobles would rather eat the grain in the granary by rats than distribute moldy food to them, the civilians.
But everyone thinks that this has been the case for generations, and it should be the case because they are civilians.
In the past, they were sick and did not dare to hire a doctor at all. Because the high expenses would make the already poor families worse.
But in Heilong City, they found that as long as they work, they could get the reward they deserved. If they earn a hundred copper liscopes, they would not be drawn by the tax officer for eighty. They could get ninety in their pockets, so they could have enough food and clothing, and even had the spare money to enjoy the rum in the tavern.
This made the craftsmen discover for the first time that they could fight for the future with their hands, rather than being ruthlessly exploited and exploited, and could not turn over for generations...
This is also the reason why they are so dangerous to open up land and build cities in the "Karatwa Basin", and they are also very energetic and work hard.
More importantly, he felt that he was respected now.
Will other lords remember the name of a civilian?
......
Renn looked at everything in front of him, his expression remained unchanged, but a strange color flashed through his heart. He felt that in the eyes of those craftsmen, Yumil was probably overflowing with a layer of holy light.
Not only those others, but even Rennes himself was moved.
Ymir's outstanding internal affairs skills are sure to be extremely amazing.
Yumier said to everyone: "Please get up... This is everything you have created with your hands, and this is what you deserve. We need to work harder in the future... I believe that our Black Dragon Corps will be better in the future!"
"Long live the city lord, long live the eldest princess..."
In the crowd, there was a burst of praise and cheers like a tide of praise and cheers again.
After a long time, the boiling emotions subsided.
Yumier was also very patient. She waited for the old blacksmith to breathe less quickly, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Brown, you haven't told me yet, what do you need me to help you..."
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
After calming down from the excitement, Old Brown slapped his forehead and remembered the important matter and said, "I was caught by Feilong just now. My child said that it was the Coleman warrior who saved my life. Therefore, I want to give this sword to the warrior as a life-saving reward. But I don't know how to speak Coleman, so... I thought of coming to trouble you, Princess..."
"I will help you."
When Yumil heard this, he realized why he was still wrapped in hospital gauze.
She smiled and asked again, "But do you remember what that warrior looks like?"
Old Brown said: "Yes, my son remembers. The warrior had the totem of the moon and the snake on his face..."
Hearing this, Yumil looked at Renn next to him.
She said again, "Okay, let's go together."
......
Old Brown took the most precious iron sword in his home as a thank-you gift for saving his life and came to the Kokorman shantytown he had never stepped into before.
Behind him, not only his son and wife, but also the craftsmen and family members who had just been rescued by the Coleman warriors, also followed.
The Coleman warrior didn't understand why so many Omars suddenly came to their residence and walked out of the straw shed to check.
Later, after Renn told them, everyone understood.
After Udo asked, he also found the Coleman warrior named "Mata" who saved the person.
Marta accepted Old Brown's gift and gave it back.
The relationship between the two sides suddenly became very close because of the flying dragon attacking the city today.
The Colemans made new friends and would celebrate with a grand bonfire dinner.
Originally, Yumil invited the elders of the tribe to have a dinner party, but because of this incident, it turned into a carnival for the entire city.
As night fell, hundreds of huge bonfires lit up in the open space in the city. The Coleman hunting team hunted dozens of huge earth dragons, and Oma's people also brought mashed potatoes, bread, cheese, and mellow wine.
There were tens of thousands of people in Heilong City who had a carnival.
