With the arrival of the new year, the whole city of Athens is full of laughter.


    The grand celebration made all the aborigines who came to Athens feel happy and prosperous. The beautiful architectural sculptures, the beautiful flowers on both sides of the road, the silvery fountains on the square, and countless laughing Athenian citizens. The children ran happily with snacks, and from time to time, bursts of laughter echoed in the people''s ears. The aborigines who came to Athens were shocked and speechless at the moment. They walked along the streets with the stream of people and felt the prosperous atmosphere of the city, which the decadent aristocratic parliament did not have.


    The conservative aristocratic parliament would not allow such large-scale celebrations. Their rule was ancient and barbaric.


    This new year''s celebration is not only the arrival of the high-level officials of Lady Elizabeth''s territory, but also the invitation of many aristocrats around Athens, Murphy. Basically, all the nobles of the alliance of the Principality of Athens came, and even some small nobles and big businessmen who did not receive the invitation also came to participate in the grand celebration. The news that there are two masters in Athens college has spread all over the city-state. After the tide of elements, many Aboriginal children have awakened to the talent of arcane, and many nobles hope that their children can receive higher education in Athens college.


    And some scholars who had talents but were not appreciated by the aristocratic Council also came to Athens in large numbers and became guest ministers in the aristocratic families. At most, they could only get a fairly good income and a more leisure job. However, if they come to Athens, they have more places to show their talents. Whether they get a job in the ruling hall, they are still recognized and employed as teachers by Athens college.


    They can all have a better future.


    At the same time, after Murphy helped the half elves defeat the lizards, many large and small mercenaries rushed to Athens. In other parts of the human city-state, although they were mercenaries, they were just poor people, not even free people. They are also unwilling to hand over their hard-earned money to the aristocratic Council in exchange for the status of a free citizen, which is of little use.


    Therefore, many mercenary teams chose to come to Athens, hoping to pass the test of the Athenian army and be recruited as foreign mercenaries.


    After that, he won the recognition of the Athenian citizens and finally became an official soldier in Athens.


    In more than half a year, many aboriginal mercenaries and mercenaries who survived the orc war have gradually gained recognition in Athens. As long as they have worked in Athens for more than half a year and are jointly elected by three Athenian citizens, they can become regular army in reserve service, and their status is higher than ordinary militia, At the same time, you can get three silver coins a month, and get five acres of inferior farmland.


    If they can join the regular army with their own ability, they can even obtain the status of third-class citizens and be allocated to 15 mu of medium-sized cultivated land. Such wealth is equivalent to that of the rich people in other parts of the human city-state. If you can be a centurion and a junior officer, you will have land and wealth comparable to many knights.


    This is undoubtedly a better future for those mercenary teams who talk blood all day long


    It''s a pity that Athens is too strict with the army, and at the same time, it must be clean. Only 30% of the aboriginal mercenaries who come here will be selected, but even so, many people flock to it


    ………………


    Governor''s house.


    Murphy held a grand banquet for the aboriginal nobles who came here. The governor''s palace, which has the scale of a palace, has made many aboriginal nobles wide eyed. Obviously, some of them can''t believe that it has only been more than half a year and it has become so magnificent. However, they can''t help but admit that the rise of Athens is beyond everyone''s expectation, Let them feel the vitality of the city


    Those poor people in the lower class are working hard, fighting for a higher status, and everyone''s face is shining.


    That light is called hope


    The governor of Athens, with a better and more reasonable system, let all the people in the territory have hope, which stimulated the productivity of Athens and made the wealth of Athens expand rapidly. The effect of a wise leader is extremely amazing, which can be seen from the period when China and Turkey entered the new China. Murphy even remembers one thing his parents said at that time, that is, digging the reservoir. When the Secretary of the county Party committee came to inspect the reservoir, he just said, "there''s nothing to say. Let''s work."


    Then the Secretary of the county Party Committee directly picked up the shovel and joined the labor queue.


    When my parents said this, they seemed to have a vision of that era, but then they kept shaking their heads and sighing.


    Perhaps this spirit will eventually be eroded by material desire and become like the Middle Earth when Murphy arrived in the previous life, but at least at this moment, this cohesive force is brilliant and bright


    China and Turkey have been catching up with Europe for decades, and Athens is also seizing the opportunity to catch up with the more civilized and excellent races.


    Maybe the starting point is different, but everyone is racing against time


    At the end of the grand banquet, many citizens consciously came to the party, and the aborigines from other places also followed. With a sharp roar and a loud bang, a bright fireworks appeared in the sky, followed by fireworks blooming in the night sky. Many people were staring at the unprecedented beautiful scene, Those aboriginal nobles had never seen such a grand and magnificent scene in their life, and they had been shocked and speechless.


    At the end of the fireworks, Murphy took Lady Elizabeth''s little hand and came to the high platform. He didn''t speak. He just waved to the Athenian citizens gathered in the square.


    Bursts of cheers resounded


    All the aboriginal nobles were distracted by the tsunami like cheers. They never thought that a Lord would be so loved by the people


    In the roar, they can''t help thinking of the legendary heroes of ancient times.


    Maybe only the heroes of that era can do this?


    When the fireworks came to an end, the citizens of Athens looked to the rear of the high platform, hoping that there would be such a bright fireworks. However, when they found that they had finished, they could not help but leave. Here is the time for free parties. There are a lot of free food in the square, and there are many performances by jugglers. Young girls dance around the campfire, and young men shuttle through the crowd, looking for a good meeting that may exist tonight. Some of the indigenous people who are qualified to enter the inner city to participate in the celebration linger around and watch with the crowd.


    "Do you like my present?" Murphy and Mrs. Elizabeth walked hand in hand on the square, waving to the crowd from time to time.


    Today is a new year''s celebration. As the governor of Athens, he will be happy with the people.


    Lady Elizabeth is wearing a gorgeous dress. She looks very graceful tonight. She takes Murphy''s arm intimately and responds to the cheers of the crowd around her. She has a sweet smile and breathes out: "I like it."


    In recent days, Murphy has nothing to do with his spare time, so he just takes two masters together to study how to make fireworks. There is a formula of gunpowder in alchemy. Although he doesn''t intend to continue the road of mechanical civilization in previous generations, some things can be learned. He plans to prepare a grand fireworks show at the new year''s celebration to open the eyes of all people in the world, and as a new year''s gift to Mrs. Elizabeth.


    Although relying on alchemy can pull civilization to the mechanical civilization of the previous life, Murphy is not prepared to do so, but intends to continue the civilization track of the world, and take arcane as the core of the world to establish a new civilization.


    At least, arcane civilization will not wantonly destroy nature and drag all races in the world into the abyss of destruction.


    How serious the pollution caused by mechanical civilization was, how many organisms died out, what critical point the earth''s climate had reached, and even human beings had already stood on the edge of the cliff. As a man from the modern world, Murphy was very clear in his heart, whether it was the hole in the ozone layer or the melting glaciers caused by the greenhouse effect, Or a large number of chemical substances pollute the whole nature, or even the birth of nuclear weapons that can destroy human beings.


    Throughout the modern history, although the mechanical civilization gave birth to an explosive breakthrough in productivity, it itself is a deformed civilization


    The rampant material desires corrode people''s hearts, and the decaying morality gradually destroys the order. Even in the so-called 2012 before leaving the earth, human beings can feel the approaching destruction, the deteriorating environment, the leakage of nuclear radiation, the increasingly abnormal climate, the melting ice in the next few decades, and so on, If there will be a war between China and Turkey and the West over energy in the future, go to
