Chapter 247 Graduation Ceremony

"Look, that's Lord Scroll," Piper quietly nudged Gilly with his elbow. "I heard she's the Minister of Education."

"Minister of Education...?" the latter asked in confusion. "What is that?"

"It's the one who manages the teachers. Don't you like Mr. Filin the most and hate Haben the most," Piper explained. "Whether it's Filing or Haben, they are all managed by Lord Scroll."

"Where did you hear this?" Gilly blinked, "Is that the big guy you mentioned again?"

"Hum, of course," he smiled smugly, "and I know more than that. At the graduation ceremony today, not only officials from the city hall will come, but even the Lord will come to the academy in person, Your Royal Highness!"

"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up, "Will Your Highness speak to us?"

"Uh...I don't know about that," Piper rubbed the back of his head, "probably."

After all, he also heard about Fanner from Big Brother Fanner. He was a remarkable person. He was originally just an ordinary masonry worker in the old street. After joining the militia team, he immediately became a team leader in charge of several people. Now, he is an officer of the First Army Artillery Corps, and his monthly salary is as high as twenty-five silver wolves, and he has shaken hands and talked with His Royal Highness the Prince!

Although he lived in the camp most of the time, when he came back occasionally, he always brought many new and interesting stories and knowledge. At this time, Piper would come to the door to pester him and ask questions. As a former neighbor and admirer of Big Brother Fanner, Piper could often learn a lot of news from him in advance.

For example, the fact that Lord Lord will attend the graduation ceremony is what Vanna personally told him. As early as a week ago, the First Army received an order to protect and guard, and also held an exercise near the academy building.

Sure enough, it didn't take long, a team of energetic, uniformly dressed soldiers walked over with their heads held high. The two in the middle of the team were His Royal Highness the Prince and his chief knight.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

After the soldiers surrounded the entrance of the academy building, Roland walked into the hall and waved to the students who were lined up in several rows, "Hello, my lords. I'm the lord of Border Town and the head of the Western Territory, Roland Wemb. Dayton, congratulations to you for completing all the content of the popularization of primary education and becoming the first batch of graduates in the town."

The crowd was dumbfounded, not indifferent, but most people were so excited they didn't know what to say.

Gilly grabbed Piper's arm and pinched, "His Royal Highness is talking to us!"

Piper was also very excited. In this way, he, like Big Brother Fanner, had a close encounter with His Highness.

"You are able to pass the assessment so quickly and welcome your graduation because most of you were once students of Mr. Karl Vanbert, who were much ahead of others from the very beginning. So don't be complacent, there is still a lot of knowledge in this world waiting for you to go. Explore and discover." Roland continued, "Of course, this day is still worth celebrating. You have embarked on a very different path from everyone else from today. No matter what kind of work you devote yourself to, you can get rich rewards. In return. I congratulate you here!"

"His Royal Highness... Long live!" I don't know who shouted first, and then everyone shouted excitedly, "Long live Your Highness! I am willing to serve Your Highness!"

Waiting for the cheers to subside, Roland smiled and said, "Next, I will hand out the diploma to you as an honorary proof of completing your studies." He opened a pamphlet, "Pipe."

Piper only felt a shiver all over. He looked at the prince and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. It was Mr. Ferrin Sylt who waved to him, "Don't be afraid, come to your Highness."

He walked out of the team stiffly with his hands and feet, and he could hear the thumping voice in his heart. Suddenly, he remembered that the military ceremony that Fanner often mentioned was much simpler than the knightly ceremony of the nobles, and it could also express his loyalty. I mean, it's the etiquette invented by His Royal Highness himself. Although he didn't know the exact posture, he mustered up his courage and raised his hand to his forehead as he remembered.

This action made the prince laugh, he nodded, and handed the booklet to Piper, "It would be more standard if the hand was moved back and placed on the top of the ear...Congratulations on graduation."

"Thank... thank you," Piper took the manual and walked back to the line almost like wood. It was only when His Highness began to issue graduation certificates to others that he recovered.

"Show me, what's written on it?" Gilly tilted her head curiously.

"You have it too, what's the hurry," he muttered in a low voice, flipping open the certificate cover with trembling hands, only to see a piece of exquisite parchment sewn inside. In the upper left corner is his portrait, and in the middle is the royal emblem of the Greycastle spear, and several lines of text are written. If it was half a year ago, he could only go to Mr. Carr to tell him the meaning of these characters, but now that Piper can read and write the most basic, he silently recited it in his heart.

The first graduate of Border Town College: Piper.

Dean: Books.

Issuer: Lord of Border Town, Roland Wimbledon.

...

After all the graduation certificates were issued, Roland clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention, "From now on, you can take on some jobs that are incompetent for ordinary people, and these jobs have generous remuneration, and the minimum is from monthly. Ten silver wolves are counted. Next, I will ask Ms. Scroll to introduce to you the work provided by the town hall of Border Town." He raised his hand to stop everyone's discussion, "You don't need to make a choice right away, you can go back and talk to you first. After careful discussion with the family, the decision is made and then you can go to the city hall with your ID card and graduation certificate to apply."

While Mr. Scroll was introducing, Gilly leaned over and asked, "Do you have an idea? I want to work in a bicycle factory, the salary is higher than my dad's, and there is a chance to get a new car for free!"

"It's really great," Piper said casually. Recently, four huge wooden signs have been erected in the town square. The portraits of His Highness and several ministers are painted on them. heated discussion among the people. Moreover, the salary of the depot is fifteen silver wolves per month. If it is not necessary for those who have completed primary education to sign up, I am afraid it will be crowded long ago.

But he had more places to go.

Since visiting the award ceremony, Piper has had such an irresistible thought. He also imagined that, like his former classmate Nana, one day, he would be able to ascend the high platform of the square and receive the honor bestowed by His Highness in front of thousands of people.

According to His Royal Highness, only those who have made outstanding contributions to the town can be awarded the honor. If you enter a bicycle factory to work, I am afraid that you will never have this opportunity in your life. Like Iron Axe, he asked himself that he couldn't do it, and he didn't have the incredible ability of a witch. The only person he could imitate was the chief alchemist Kemo Strell.

He had heard more than once before that if he could find out the same practical alchemy product, he could bring great wealth and prestige to the territory and become a sage. No need for bravery or bloodline, just a little luck... There is no better path for him than this.

Thinking of this, Piper made up his mind.

"I'm going to sign up to go to the chemistry lab," he said word for word. To be continued. , Your support is my greatest motivation.
