Chapter 416: Coronation
In the wee hours of the morning, the sparse stars hung in the sky, and the air was still very cool.
The wheels spun around the deserted streets, leading the way to the palace along the street lamps.
When the horse finally stopped, the sun had not yet come out.
But in the dim sky, you can already vaguely see a lot of luxurious carriages of extremely exquisite workmanship parked around, lined up along the tartar.
The wooden planks that have been varnished many times are so bright that they can reflect the human figure, and even the coachman is neatly dressed and meticulous with white gloves, revealing a reserved energy. If you study heraldry, it is not difficult to find that almost all of them are Pompeii's famous nobles.
The Lord was proud to find that even in this invisible battle for wealth, his car was second to none. The main reason is that the gilt material is so solid that it can almost blind people when it shines under the light of the street lamp.
"Dear Miss Elizabeth. He pretended to stretch out an arm to hold the crying bag, which was really a bit of grandeur.
"Wait for me. Yeyu caught up from behind with small steps.
According to the established procedure, Béderick had to meet the great nobles of the country, then complete the coronation in the presence of guests from all over the world, and finally parade in a carriage to the cheers of the commoners, merchants, and minor nobles of the Furiz.
The day will end with a big dinner party, a social extravaganza that will be talked about once and again a decade later.
At the same time, the whole city of Friez and even the whole of Pompeii will hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the new king.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Richard walked into the side hall where the nobles were temporarily resting, and was just about to say hello, when he was greeted by a rich and powerful gasp of cold air, and he forcibly stifled all his words.
One of the people present is counted as one, basically all of them are high-ranking nobles with names and surnames and their female companions, and it stands to reason that they are all well-informed masters, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to see too shocked and even gaffe expressions on their faces.
But when they saw Elizabeth's face so perfect that it shouldn't have appeared in the world, they couldn't help but be deeply shocked. This is purely an instinct to appreciate beauty, and no intelligent life is exempt from vulgarity!
This is one of them.
Before they could recover from the shock, Yeyu followed suit.
Even if many people have not seen the legendary Ancient Dragon Night Jade with their own eyes, they can still identify her by the horns on her forehead and her black hair. This shock stems from the admiration for the top powerhouse, after all, absolute force is almost equal to absolute truth, and it is also difficult to avoid vulgarity.
This is the second one.
The most important thing is that Richard is holding Elizabeth in one hand, and the light of the chakra circle behind his head is too dazzling to ignore!
- These nobles have much more knowledge than ordinary people, and even very obscure knowledge is often involved. At a glance, he recognized that this was the light vein of Qi Kuo's concentric speech, coupled with the life sigil on his forehead, it could almost be regarded as having a marriage contract with Taikoolong.
It's just that this guy is holding a stunning look from the past and the present, and he dares to be honest in front of Yeyu. It's just in front of Yeyu, and he can still jump around without missing arms and legs.
It can only show that people are not ordinary madness, courage is not ordinary fat, life is not ordinary hard, skills are not ordinary brilliant, and temperament is not ordinary greed!
It even requires an extremely rich imagination - because for ordinary people, the scene in front of them belongs to the category of never dreaming.
Even though they all had good statuses, everyone still couldn't help but be in awe, and there was envy and jealousy in their eyes when they looked at the lord of Alpine Castle. Occasionally, there were a few painful sounds, and it was their wife who couldn't stand it and pinched her husband.
"Sauron!" the lord said hello excitedly as he swept around the room with a rare acquaintance.
When he first arrived in the Northeast Province to prepare to develop his career, this noble garden chief did not give him much convenience.
"Richard. Sauron walked over and glanced him up and down, "Remember to take off the spatial ring later." ”
"What?" The ring that the lord was wearing, after he got his hands on it, asked the craftsman to disguise it with sterling silver a little, and it was not so easy to see that it was a treasure of the former Stuart royal family.
However, the pigeon-egg-like huge and pure space secret crystal, as long as there are eyes, you can see the precious abnormality.
"All day today, the Elemental Disruption Circle will be opened in the palace. Space equipment has particularly high requirements for elemental stability, and it cannot be used while worn. "So everybody will just take it off, it's kind of an unwritten rule." ”
"Hmm. Richard nodded.
Even in normal times, when entering the palace, you must at least remove your sword and weapon.
Now at a critical juncture, it's normal to be a little more tightly controlled, after all, who knows what dangerous items will be contained in the space ring.
The servants of the inner court provided a very hearty cold meal, and Richard had just gotten up late to have breakfast, so he picked up two portions of fish and meat and gave Elizabeth one for each of them.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The palace butler walked in with a funny wig, followed by Bédric.
The morning meeting with the domestic aristocracy was very brief, and then it was a boring wait.
The envoys of various countries would not enter the palace until it was close to noon, and the lord was bored, so he pulled Yeyu and Elizabeth to play poker secretly for a long time.
From time to time, he connected with the crying bag, making the novice Taikoo Longpit dizzy. Sometimes he indulged with Yeyu, which made Elizabeth lose so much that she wanted to cry without tears.
finally managed to reach the point, and finally waited for the envoys to enter the palace.
"That's a vassal state, that's a Federation of Mages...... Why didn't you see the grass platform team of the Elven Kingdom. Richard gave Elizabeth common sense while watching the excitement, and said gloatingly, "The pointy-eared people don't even receive an invitation to the ceremony." ”
"Where did those people in red come from?"
"The people of San Jose, only they can wear such a bright dress. Richard grumbled, "I think their king is a fool." ”
"You mean Neo, why do you say that?" Elizabeth didn't say anything, but Yeyu asked curiously, "I have the impression that Neo is very intelligent and broad-minded, and he is one of the very few people who has not mastered power but I dare not despise him. ”
"You know, the undead are the enemies of all the living? But in the face of the impending disaster of the undead, this majesty is quite a bit closed to the door into a unified posture. The lord shook his head and sneered, "Based on that alone, it's not too much to say that he's a fool. ”
"Maybe it's your human nature to like infighting, and when it comes to infighting, it's much more powerful than other races. ”
Yeyu's words made Richard stunned and silent for a long time.
He wanted to refute, but he couldn't. After all, in the eyes of other intelligent races, humanity's penchant for infighting is as obvious as the lice on the top of a bald man's head, and this view obviously cannot be attributed entirely to groundlessness.
"Don't be in a daze, the coronation is about to begin. ”
In Pompeii, whether it is the time of the Ice Goddess Church or the era of the Holy Light Church, there has never been any claim that divine power is higher than royal power.
So the man who put the golden crown on Béderick was not a religious leader, but his blood uncle, Prince Schmidt, one of the most important civil officials in Pompeii.
The palace was cleverly designed, with a large expanse of transparent glass on the roof, allowing the sun to flow unhindered and converge directly above Bédrick's head.
Every grain of dust in mid-air is refracting brilliance, and the stars seem to flow gold, as if the royal power that has been inherited for thousands of years is condensing and sublimating.
His facial features are hidden in the shadows and cannot be seen clearly, looking extremely solemn, solemn, and mysterious, and he has a kind of bearing that he has returned to his destiny.
Of course, compared to the Alpine Fort Lord with a large aperture behind his head, it still can't be compared.
The new king, who wears the crown, should then parade the city to the cheers of the people of Friez. As he was about to board the carriage, Bédrick looked down at Richard and said, "My friend, please join me in welcoming the flowers and applause." ”
The lord was busy whispering gossip with Yeyu.
Although this girl has a pure and sweet skin, she can't be a person, and she has seen and heard a lot. Even the Governor of the Northwest knew that he had bought a fox beauty, and the gossip was so vivid that it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and Richard's cheeks were flushed for a while.
"Huh?" Feeling the silence around him suddenly, he pointed to his nose and asked, "Me?"
