Chapter 363: During the Ritual
In an unknown town in Rockman, before the sun had risen, soldiers in leather armor and short swords knocked on the doors of one civilian after another, giving them orders from their lord.
"On the orders of Viscount Roman, all civilian families are to send at least one person to Roland Square to assemble, and there shall be no mistake, and the offender shall be fined ten silver coins. ”
Under the threat of property damage, even if they were unwilling, the commoners sent one person from each household to the square to answer the lord's call, and when they arrived, the mud-legged people knew why the lord had summoned them.
The monarch of the kingdom is about to abdicate today, and the sole heir, Princess Remilia, is still young, so His Majesty Belardion invites a golden dragon to appoint him as the archprince and take charge of the kingdom.
Now the royal capital is holding a succession ceremony. And King Belardion wanted all the inhabitants of the kingdom to witness this historic scene, which is why the lord forced them to gather here.
"What are you doing here, I still have to work in the fields, what is the matter with us mud legs when the king ascends the throne?"
"That is, besides, the king is so far away from us, and we can't see it, what are you asking us to do here?"
"I have to go back to buy goods, I can't do business yet. ”
...... The lord's forced gathering of the lords made these commoners complain, after all, the king, the golden dragon or something, these things were too far away from the commoners they lived in these lowest, far away like the legends of the bards in the tavern.
But soon, these grumbling mud-legged people shut up, because above the city square, there appeared a dozen mages wearing magic robes and holding law enforcement staffs, and they were debugging the magic guidance equipment that had been arranged in the square a long time ago.
A light curtain 16 meters long and 9 meters wide took shape in the square, simultaneously presenting everything that happened in the royal capital Scarlett in front of the small city.
The footage that comes over is a bird's-eye view from above. This kind of picture instantly calmed this group of mud-legged people, and they saw the capital of the kingdom that they might not be able to go to in their lifetime......
The tall and magnificent buildings, the nobles who fly through the sky with their horses and beasts, and the cloud giants who are taking over the city......
"What is this?" asked a dumbfounded civilian, among the civilians who were no longer disgruntled at the first sight of this epic picture.
"This is the royal capital Scarlet! The succession ceremony of the archacon Muriah took place here. A mage who had adjusted the magic projection equipment flew into the sky with a floating technique, and introduced loudly using the magic amplification technique.
This was Belardion's arrangement, and the mage he sent was not only tasked with debugging the magic projection equipment, but also had one person who served as a narrator, introducing the identities of the various big names who appeared on it to all the civilians and adventurers who watched the scene.
At this time, every city in the Rockman Kingdom is a scene like this kind of small city, and the magic light curtains project everything that happened in the royal capital on the light curtain in real time, with a sense of dreaminess.
In cities with a large population, more projection light curtains are also arranged at the same time, so that more people can see the scene of Muria as the archarch.
On this day, the entire kingdom of Rockman came to a near standstill, the peasants did not farm, the merchants did not sell goods, the adventurers did not carry out their missions, the believers did not go to the temple to pray, and the nobles who were not invited did not flirt with the maids (?)......
As long as it is a city where you can see the magic light curtain, almost everyone has put down their work and watched the ceremony go on, for many people, this is a grand ceremony that will regret it for a lifetime if you miss it.
As time passed, one presence after another, which was only described by the tavern bard, appeared in the broadcast footage, opening the eyes of the common people of the entire Rockman Kingdom.
From the Shadows, an envoy of the legendary Cruel and Murderous, but slender Drow Elves with beautiful looks and dark skin. The dwarven king who awakened the bloodline of the king of the hill, a red dragon evolved from kobolds...... There are also legends with different temperaments who have been invited by Belradine to teleport from more distant countries......
For ordinary people, although they saw the big people of the level of the legendary duke that they couldn't usually see at all, they also skipped at a glance, and most of their eyes stayed on those alien races.
For example, the drow elves from the dark regions who look coquettish to the bone, and the orthodox elves who are eager to kill these filthy bloodline garbage.
Even if you don't look at these elf girls who seem to be fighting at any time, you can also take a look at the legendary red dragon and the dwarf king who is like a hill.
The strong men of the human race, although they seem to have a strong aura, are not as good as these alien legends to attract the attention of these civilians, after all, the human legends are strong, but at first glance, there is nothing special, and I don't see them have an extra head or an extra pair of hands than ordinary humans.
As it approached noon, almost all the big names appeared, and in the royal palace in the center of Scarlet, more than thirty legends sat on both sides of the central council room, waiting for the official start of the ceremony.
The High Mage's eyes, which were broadcast to cities across the country, were aimed at this hall, and everything that happened here was simultaneously shown to all parts of the country.
The civilians who had been standing and watching for a long time, even if they were hungry, were reluctant to leave, and it felt like a great loss and sin to miss a second of such a scene. They had to spend money to buy the stuff from the profiteers who came here to sell dry food, and watched as they ate.
The next scene, sure enough, lived up to expectations, they saw the image of King Belardion leading the only heir of the kingdom, Remilia, to appear under the escort of a team of elite constructed knights, this group of mud-legged people knew for the first time what the supreme ruler of their kingdom looked like?
The next group of people who have no connotation are mud legs, and they listened to a lot of nonsense from Belradine, well, this king pondered for half a month, and the abdication declaration made up of the most imposing and beautiful and gorgeous rhetoric is nonsense to most people.
They could understand every word of their king's words, but when they connected them, most of them were at a loss and couldn't understand them at all, but fortunately this passage passed quickly.
Next, there is the scene that almost everyone is looking forward to - the archduke of the Rockman Kingdom is on the scene.
Under the watchful eye, the golden dragon with six horns on its forehead, escorted by nearly a hundred giants riding large birds with brilliant feathers, flew out of the teleportation circle that enveloped half of the palace......
