The people continued to look at the streetlamp, no one spoke for a moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" A bard leaped onto a barrel in front of the tavern, his cloak illuminated by the streetlamp like a burning flag, his voice exploded in the air, "This is not magic, nor a miracle! This is 'technology' brought back by Her Majesty the Queen from Gold and Silver Island! From tonight onwards, our children need no longer fear walking at night, and caravans can load and unload goods overnight…."
"All the residents of the Kingdom." The bard pointed to the stunned crowd, "will have a brighter night than the nobles of the Royal Capital!"
"Let us praise the great Leader Wu Heng, and praise the Queen!"
Led by the bard, everyone also shouted along.
"Praise Leader Wu Heng, and our Queen."
