Chapter 322 (2/2)

These old workers had been informed of the procedure already, and they had even rehearsed for this ceremony, but they were still feeling nervous at this moment—after all, they were well-behaved people and had never been a part of such a grand occasion. Also, there was no audience at their rehearsal.

Fortunately, the rehearsal helped. They all remembered their own speeches. After coming to the stage, making a bow, and receiving their certificates and pension, each of them made some remarks; it was all prepared and recited again and again. Though many of them had their legs shaking, they managed to speak fluently. It was as if their upper and lower body were separate, and that amused the audience.

Nevertheless, the guests were respectful.

The people on the stage dressed and behaved like ordinary workers. Yet from now on, they were not just ordinary people anymore—their names would be written in history.

Though they played a small role in history and were only known to historians, their names were still a part of the history of the whole Main Plane!

How many of the present audience members or guests would have such a great honor?

How many of the nobles, adventurers, rich or powerful people on the Main Plane would have such an opportunity?

“Lucky guys…” murmured a guest sitting in the back.

He was a prominent businessman from Double Headed Stork City, the most northern region in the Federation of Gold Coins. He made many business exchanges with the Void Mask Land, and he had also been invited here. Born in a noble family, his life dream was to make a big fortune and the second dream was fame, ideally becoming famous in history. He wanted to be renowned as a legendary businessman; that would be a great achievement for him.

But the reality was that he was nearly 50 years old and had not achieved anything great while these humble workers had managed to put their names in history.

This was so frustrating!

He was not the only one thinking this. Many people among the guests and the audience were whispering to each other.

Having smelt the unfriendliness, these retired workers became more nervous.

Witnessing this scene, Madame Teague frowned and secretly sighed.

She could see that the guests and the audience members were jealous of these common workers being granted such a great honor. It had long been the tradition in this world that honors only belonged to powerful or noble people while average people could only contribute to neglectable numbers recorded in history.

However, this was exactly what was to be changed by the Grace of the Void Mask Land!

She recalled the Grace’s words, “Labor is the most glorious.”

Perhaps… this really can push this world forward…

Thinking of this, she smiled and gave a sign to the hosts.

The hosts quickly saw her signal. They stepped back and gave her the floor.

Madame Teague stepped forward and looked around the venue. She smiled and gently said, “Now let’s welcome the Grace of the Void Mask Land to give some remarks and deliver his wishes to these retired workers.”
