Chapter 381: Awards Show (Part 1)

With the gorgeous background animation and melodious music, the two hosts slowly walked onto the stage. The two hosts are a man and a woman. What is a little interesting is that the male host is a human race in his thirties called François. The woman was a young elf named Cheryl.

"Welcome to the 41st Continental Peace Awards Gala. I am the host, François." Francois looked like a very funny person, and said to everyone with a smile.

"I'm the host Cheryl, thank you for coming." The elf Cheryl here also bowed slightly, looking very dignified.

"Peace in the continent is the common wish of everyone. On this continent, humans, elves, dwarves, even orcs, demons, and undead all yearn for peace. However, it is a pity that peace has not yet come due to various reasons. , the war is still going on, and this Continental Peace Award is a platform for those who are the pioneers of peace in the mainland to show themselves, and hope that under their leadership, the mainland will finally truly move towards peace and keep the world away from war." This François on the side said.

"Papa, papa..." The applause sounded from below, and even Moira, who was beside Li Huailin, applauded with a little sense.

"Sheryl, I heard that you didn't want to come to this party before. There was some misunderstanding between the Human Empire and the Elven Empire, and finally a war broke out. Although the war ended two days ago, it was also a very unpleasant one. I don’t know why you decided to participate today?” François asked suddenly.

"That's right. I came here today to thank a person. To be honest, our entire elves are grateful for him. In order to thank him, I must come." Cheryl swept her eyes after finishing speaking. Li Huailin who sat in the first row. Then he continued, "I hope he can get this award today. If he is the final winner, I will definitely give him my most sincere thanks when he takes the stage."

"Really?". François here said with a smile. "How do I see what you said today seems to be a little bit emotional."

"Hahahaha..." There was a burst of laughter immediately below.

"Yeah, it's true, who made my benefactor so attractive." Cheryl said very generously.

"Then I hope your dream will come true." François said, "Having said so much, we should introduce our five candidates for today, or else everyone would think that the protagonists of today are the two of us." individually."

"That's right, let's introduce the first candidate now, please watch the big screen." Cheryl here raised her hand to the crystal screen behind her and said.

The crystal screen behind him immediately started playing the picture,

This is a picture of a group of children playing. The narration of a middle-aged woman began to speak slowly.

"She, an ordinary human old man; she, an ordinary farmer; she, the 'mother' of one hundred and thirty-seven orphans. Her husband died early on the battlefield, but he did not remarry. For sixty-two years, she Adopted countless orphans who lost their parents in the war, relying on the meager income from farming and the money earned from spinning. She fed these 137 orphans and brought them up. She is the most beautiful mother in the mainland—— Kayla Marceau."

At the end of the picture, there is a group photo, in the middle is a white-haired old man, and she is surrounded by a whole circle of children. These children are only 17 or 18 years old, and the young ones are still held in the arms of others. , everyone hugged each other tightly. This is a very sweet photo.

With the end of the narration, the scene immediately thought of thunderous applause.

"Thanks to Ms. Kayla Marceau, thank you for letting me feel a little warmth in this late autumn. Today we not only invited Ms. Kayla Marceau, but also invited her 137 children to the scene. Please everyone Welcome them." François pointed forward, and a beam of light immediately hit a few rows behind Li Huailin, where a lot of children were sitting, and Kayla sat in the middle with a smile on her face. Among the children, when the lights came down, Kayla got up and bowed slightly.

The people at the scene immediately applauded this great mother, and the children were also proud, applauding their mother one after another.

"Thank you, thank you." Keira didn't say much, but kept bowing to everyone.

"What an ordinary and great mother, she also reminded me of my own mother. It seems that I will go home after I go back today." François said here.

"Yes." Cheryl also nodded, "Seeing such a great mother, I can't but applaud her."

"But although Ms. Kelly is very great, today our five candidates are all people who have made great contributions to the peace of the mainland. Let's take a look at the second one." François pointed at the big screen again .

Narrator: "2430 kilometers, what length is this? The length of the Reinze River? The length of the Dilmas Mountains? Neither, this is the length that a human being walks in a year..."

A video of a person giving a speech with a flag of peace on the mainland began to play on the screen.

"Norbert was an ordinary imperial official three years ago, but an encounter with the God of Light made him a warrior fighting on the front line of peace on the mainland. In three years, he walked in various cities on the mainland , delivered tens of thousands of peace speeches, and last year alone, they visited more than 700 large and small cities in the mainland, with a total journey of more than 2,430 kilometers. What an astonishing number..."

The awards ceremony was going on in an orderly manner. The candidates and their achievements were introduced one by one. The third candidate was a dwarven craftsman who invented the method of growing food in the gray map of the south. He was nominated for making a living for tens of thousands of impoverished villagers living there.

The fourth place is naturally Sisi, who has become the youngest nominee for the Continental Peace Prize because she published a series of studies on the relationship between adventurers and aboriginals and adventurers.

Satisfied to accept the applause from everyone present, Ceci sat down with satisfaction: "I must be the winner, right?"

"I haven't been introduced yet," Li Huailin said.

"Why introduce you?" Ceci asked strangely.

"I'm also a candidate." Li Huailin said.

"Huh? Are you a candidate? Aren't you a guest? What did you do?" Sisi asked strangely.

"What I did is so great..." Li Huailin said proudly, then pointed to the stage, "You saw me."

Sure enough, Cheryl here began to introduce: "The last nominee below is really a great person. To be honest, I feel a little flattered to introduce him now, especially as a A member of the elves, I am even more grateful to him beyond words."

"Look, Cheryl, as a host, you can't be biased." François next to him said with a smile, "But this is indeed an admirable big man, and also the pride of our human race. Please watch the big screen first."

The screen is not a narration or promotional video, but an interview with an elf in the screen.

"I heard that in this war, you lost your husband and all your children, and you were almost caught in the military camp?" the reporter asked.

"Yes." The elf nodded, "The village was burned down, and everyone in the village died. It was all done by that great hero—the Duke of Aquitaine. I must thank him!"

When the screen changed, it was another interview screen.

"The village is gone, everyone is dead... Duke of Aquitaine? He is the greatest hero I have ever seen. Although he is a human being, I still want to thank him."

"Thanks to the Duke of Aquitaine for bringing me here, I live very well in the barracks... You said the Duke of Aquitaine has become a candidate for the Continental Peace Prize? Great, this award must be his, you see Seeing what he did to me and my sisters, how could he not receive this award!"

After a long interview, the screen changed, and a large area of ​​burned houses appeared in front of everyone. Several teams of elf soldiers were carrying the bodies that had not been cleaned up, and then the screen turned to the white valley. So far those corpses can be cleaned up quickly, where are they stacked up layer by layer.

Accompanied by such a scene, the mezzo-soprano narration slowly sounded: "In one week, one hundred thousand members of the Silverwind Guard were killed, and hundreds of thousands of families were broken. At the same time, he also killed more than 3,300 innocent villagers and put Nearly 2,000 elf women were sent to the military camp, nearly a hundred elf villages were destroyed, and tens of thousands of elves were homeless. Although he is a human being, his contribution to the elves cannot be expressed in words... He is Nasser The Duke of Aquitaine of the Empire, with a big heart."

At the end of the picture, a picture of the elf queen Rachel appeared on the screen: "You said the Grand Duke of Aquitaine, yes, thank him for everything he has done for the elves, sincerely, sincerely thank him for everything he has done, he is the one I have seen He is the greatest human being ever, and on behalf of the entire elf family, I support him in winning the Continental Peace Prize."

"Papa, papa..." Thunderous applause rang out, and the host on the stage didn't need to say much at all. A group of peace-loving people below started applauding spontaneously. François, Although Cheryl couldn't be biased, she started to applaud now, especially Cheryl, whose eyes started to turn red while clapping.

"When I was writing the book, I actually did so many powerful things?" Sisi, who was next to him, looked at Li Huailin and said in surprise. (to be continued...)
