Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 178: 178: Caleb's Speech

Now that he was in front of hundreds of people. The nervousness in his heart strangely started to disappear. Multiple scenes in his past life where he gave speeches to crowds appeared in his mind one by one. For example, the graduation speech in his high school and college. Project speech to the classroom throughout his school life.

All these experiences resurfaced in his mind. It might be his first time to give a speech about this world. But it wasn't the first in his life. It would be a shame for an adult like him who lives multiple lives to not even be able to give a proper speech.

As he thought of this, Caleb's back straightened almost immediately and his gaze became calm. As he prepared to address the people below the stage, he first cleared his throat.

"Look... Who's that young man on stage? Wow, he looks handsome with that suit."

"I don't know. He looks sick to me. Look at his skin. He's so pale..."

"I think he's a Scout. Probably one of the scouts that joined the operation? Though he's certainly young, he looks mature enough for his age. Those eyes lack the innocence kids of his age should have."

"He had grown up, hadn't he? It's been a while, but he looks as calm and composed as ever." On the crown, a man with a faint smile and narrow eyes watched Caleb. Indeed, it was Jin, now, wearing clothes and props for guards. The only thing that would confuse everyone would be the 7th star shield on his chest.

Why? Because it symbolizes the 7th Seat Officers of Guard! It's only been a year since Jin joined the guards, yet he already climbed the hierarchy of guards at such a fast speed! If Caleb knew this, he wouldn't be surprised, as he knew Jin's capability more than anyone.

On Jin's side, there was a man who had a tamed smile on his face. He has red garments all over his body and chain mail underneath his red vest. His wrinkles and the few strands of white hair signify his age.

Dunn caressed his stubbled chin and shook his head. "Johan had grown up? Nah... He's already far mature even when he first joined our hunting party. Still, I'm proud to know someone like him. I don't know what schemes he was planning for the future. I can't still forget how he poisoned all of us and outsmarted Captain Fushigiro. Truly, a treacherous kid." he sighed as he said this.

"Shhhh... He's about to speak. Be quiet for a moment." Luna, who wore the same clothes as Dunn but customized for her body, spoke.

If Caleb saw three of his old friends who he hadn't seen for a long time, attend the awarding ceremony. He would be jubilated.

"People of the City of Phenos. You must confused as to who am I?" Caleb said with a smile on his face and carried on. "I am Johan. A survivor outside this wall. Just a teenager like everyone who dreamt of becoming Destiny. I joined the Scout Regime just a year ago. You must be wondering why I'm here and giving a speech to all of you. So am I..." Caleb chuckled.

The crowd, on the other hand, began to laugh, as they didn't expect Caleb to start in a lighthearted manner. They were amazed how such a young teenager could calmly speak in front of a lot of people with wit and humor.

"Well, this young man doesn't seem that bad. He should be an example of how the young generation should conduct themselves in front of a lot of people."

"Now that I think about it. He said that he just joined the Scout last year. What an incredibly talented young man. To survive the expedition with such a terrible mortality rate. This guy isn't that simple..."

Seeing that, Caleb was about to open his mouth again. The people in the crowd tacitly closed their mouths to listen.

Jin smiled as he saw this. 'He managed to make the people listen to him with just his opening. He's really something...'

"I am the team leader that leads three teams in the expedition. We managed to seal the wall due to the magic artifact called golden rock. It wouldn't have been possible without the cooperation of my members, so I'm grateful for their support. With the takeover of Wall of Rose. A new era for the City had opened. It opened us to a new future with limitless possibilities!"

"The reclamation of the Wall of Rose isn't just a symbolic victory. It's a pivotal moment that heralds numerous benefits and opportunities for our city. Let me share some of these advantages with you, as they represent the promise of our collective efforts."

"As we expand our territory, we gain access to new resources and lands that were previously beyond our reach. This means an increase in food production, natural resources, and trade possibilities. Our city will thrive with these newfound assets, fostering economic growth and stability."

"The expanded territory also allows us to provide better living conditions for our citizens. With more space, we can build and develop our city, ensuring that every individual has access to clean water, comfortable housing, and improved sanitation. The well-being of our people is a priority."

"Moreover, the reclamation of the Wall of Rose opens the door to broader diplomatic relations and alliances. Our city will become a formidable player in the political landscape if there are really other kingdoms outside, which can lead to strengthened cooperation, trade agreements, and mutual support with potential neighboring regions."

"With this expansion, we have the opportunity to increase our knowledge and cultural exchange. As we encounter new territories and communities, we can share our experiences and learn from others, fostering a rich tapestry of ideas and traditions that will enrich our city's identity."

"But most importantly, this victory signifies our capacity to protect our city from those damned Apokalips. By securing our borders and increasing our defenses, we ensure the safety of our people. This newfound security paves the way for a future in which our children can grow up without the constant shadow of danger."
