I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law
Chapter 257: Certificate of Citizenship
On the other side, Hannah took the scroll from Sera, feeling extremely complicated.
When Aimee allowed the subjects to make the choice, she did not allow the women from the leather factory to participate.
Maybe in Aimee's heart, there may be a control mentality towards these women, but in Hannah's heart, it is more of a fluke.
If it weren't for the Master Mage, some of them might have also experienced such elimination and castration.
The result now is that they all received citizenship certificates without any tests.
This is completely different from what is in the scroll in her hand.
Various thoughts kept popping up in her mind, and Hannah walked towards the east city wall with the scroll. But after only two steps, Hannah stopped again.
She looked back and saw Sera still following her.
"Knight Sera, this..."
Hannah said somewhat awkwardly.
It wasn't that she disliked Sera, but every belief bestowed by God was hard-earned, and it would be wrong to sow the seeds of collapse because of a few civilians.
Moreover, when Sera was in Razlan, she took good care of them, and Sera also had a special relationship with the Master Mage.
"Was it Aimee's order?"
Sera lowered her eyes and said.
"That's... not really, but I think, Lady Sera, there's no need to contact those people. It's their own choice, isn't it?"
Hannah could only respond awkwardly.
Sera looked deeply at Hannah and said:
"If they knew that Bennett could build the wall directly, would they still choose to do so?"
Hannah sighed.
Rebuilding a territory, especially a frontier territory like Razlan, is definitely not as simple as everyone working hard.
During this period, a large number of people will be deployed to collect stones and cut wood.
And in the mountains and forests where stones and woods are collected, the most abundant thing is civilians who died in the mouths of monsters.
In the royal capital, the knights need to raise magical beasts for the king's hunting. In the north, any footprint of a magical beast will trigger a hunting frenzy among the Northern Knights.
This is the border, right next to the prairie, and the monsters here are endless to kill and massacre.
Not only do people have to be careful of monsters when quarrying and cutting trees, but if there were no city walls, people would even have to be careful of monster attacks when sleeping at night.
The knights could save their lives, but the commoners had no ability to resist.
When Hannah was on the road, many old men boasted about their bravery, saying how they had followed the lord and stopped many attacks from monsters.
But when they were faced with rebuilding Razlan, they all chose to back down.
"Lord Sera, there will always be someone who wants to be the superior of the dukedom, and there will always be someone who wants to be the servant. Why bother?"
Hannah knew that Aimee didn't really care whether people were loyal to her or not. She just wanted an excuse, an excuse that could reasonably win over and bind together a community of interests.
Just like when she brought her people into the Master Mage’s tent.
Sera didn't say anything else. She looked up to the sky and sighed, exhaled deeply, and said:
"Then I'll leave first."
Sera turned and walked away.
Hannah turned around, walked all the way to the city wall, and looked at the mountains on both sides.
This city gate is located between two mountain ranges. Anyone who wants to enter Razlan must go through a narrow passage and pass through the city gate before entering Razlan.
This is a natural military stronghold, a place where one man can block the passage of ten thousand.
What is blocking them now are not the enemies, but the former residents of this place.
Hannah was thankful again. If it weren't for her relationship with the Master Wizard, many of the women in the leather factory would probably be outside the city walls.
"Open the door quickly, we want to see Master Aimee."
"Why not tell us if we have a wall? We are willing to rebuild Razlan."
"Master Aimee, Master Aimee, let us rejoin Razlan."
If it weren't a matter of life and death, who would be willing to leave their hometown?
Hannah sighed in her heart, walked slowly to the gate under the city wall, wrapped herself in a decent cotton coat, took out a lord's order, handed it to the knights on both sides, and said:
"Master Aimee has a message to convey. Open the door. I need to go outside and talk to them."
The knights checked the lord's order, glanced at Hannah, and waved to the camp next to them.
A dozen knights walked out of the camp, all holding shields and swords in their hands, and trotted to the city gate.
"Form a formation and don't let anyone outside in."
"Yes."
The knights held up their shields, placed their swords on the shields, and lined up in front of the city gate.
The knights on both sides used a winch to pull up the gate. The knights escorted Hannah, squeezed out the residents who wanted to come in from outside, and cleared a space under the city gate.
"I am Hannah, and I have come here with the order of Duke Aime to listen to your demands."
Hannah held up the Lord's Order and spoke loudly to everyone.
Among those people, many men were stunned and looked at Hannah nervously.
These people had all broken into the woman's house. Although they left supplies behind, they had forced their way in. Now that they saw Hannah in power, they felt a little scared.
Hannah had no intention of paying attention to those people. She looked past the knight in front of her, glanced at the people here, and said:
"Do any of you want to go back to Razlan?"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the first question Hannah asked would be this.
One of them walked up, saluted like a gentleman, and asked Hannah.
"Of course, Lady Hannah, I wonder what Duke Aimee means?"
Hannah did not answer, but handed the scroll to the knight beside her and said:
"Put out what's inside."
"Yes."
The knight activated the rune on the scroll, and in an instant, countless certificates emerged from the black opening in front of the scroll and all fell to the ground with a clatter.
"This is Razlan's certificate of citizenship. You can exchange your free citizen's certificate for a certificate of citizenship."
The people were instantly excited:
"What, is this true?"
"We can actually stay in Razlan."
"Lady Aimee is truly kind. She is a greater noble than the old lord."
For a moment, voices of admiration, gratitude, and disbelief were everywhere.
The man at the front stepped forward and handed over his freeman's certificate, saying:
"Lord Hannah, I am willing to return to Razlan and do whatever I am asked to do."
Hannah smiled and said:
"What if you were asked to go to the woods and chop down trees by yourself?"
The man scratched his head awkwardly and said:
"Well, with the city walls, we should be able to mobilize knights to clear the forest."
Hannah smiled again and said:
"Of course, the knights will go and clean up the monsters tomorrow."
After receiving his citizenship certificate, the man was no longer anxious, but walked leisurely to the back and notified the people he knew to come over and return their citizenship certificates.
Another person came over. When he saw Hannah, he looked around and finally said with a guilty look on his face:
"Lady Hannah, I was wrong about what happened in the North. If that woman is willing, I can take responsibility."
Hannah sneered in her heart and said:
"No, Lady Aimee and the Mage will take good care of them."
