The titles of the Protoss, no matter how big or small, from knights, lords, dukes, counts, and even marquises, according to the long-standing tradition, are knighted by the kings of the Protoss, and the ceremony is generally held in the palace of the king of the Protoss. The only difference is that the candidate for the marquis must be approved by the emperor before being knighted.

For the people of the Protoss, the ceremony that could be held in the ninth-floor palace of the Dream Palace Hall must be an incomparably noble ceremony.

Although various grand ceremonies are often held in the main hall of the Dream Palace, most of the ceremonies are the emperor's reception ceremonies for foreign races. These ceremonies, which were of a diplomatic and ceremonial nature, were usually held in the eighth floor of the Dream Palace or in the palace below the eighth floor of the Palace of Dreams—even for foreign kings and queens, they could usually reach the eighth floor of the Dream Palace at most.

The ceremony that can be held in the ninth-floor palace, in addition to the coronation ceremony of the Heavenly Emperor, is the king of the Protoss king ceremony. Of course, there will be exceptions. For example, today, the wedding of Grand Duke Litus and Marquis Luquesia and the wedding of Grand Duke Ivan and Dragon Lord Wen Ying were held at the same time in the ninth floor of the palace of the Palace of Dreams.

The ninth-floor palace sits north and faces south, with nine thrones, side by side, presenting a straight line. In the center are two tall black crystal thrones. With the Dark Crystal Throne as the center, on the left and right sides, there are several white crystal thrones. The only difference is that the two black thrones in the center are on a high platform that is much higher than the white crystal throne.

Since Emperor Eric ascended to the throne, there have only been eight thrones on the ninth floor of the Dream Palace, a throne specially set up for the Seven Grand Dukes of the Protoss Council and King Edward of the Uriel Clan. In other words, except for the Seven Grand Dukes of the Protoss Council and the kings of the Protoss clans, no one else was qualified to sit in the ninth-floor palace.

And at this moment, there is one more person in the ninth-floor palace, it is Alice, the Holy Messenger of the Light Source. Because of her special status, Alice was able to stay in the ninth-floor palace. But Alice's position is at the end, after King Edward, and the white crystal throne on which she sits is the simplest, and the high platform below the throne is the lowest of the nine thrones, lower than King Edward's throne.

The ceremony of the canonization of Grand Duke Ivan has ended.

Today, Grand Duke Ivan's long golden hair is curled like a waterfall, and a very simple crown woven from the branches of golden thorn wood is worn on the top of his head.

The crown of the king of the gods is not made of gold or silver, nor is it inlaid with any precious stones and pearls, but it is made of a few branches of thorny wood and woven at will.

Thornwood is a low shrub with a white or golden body, which can be found everywhere in the kingdom of heaven, and is extremely tenacious, and it is said that it can grow during the ash period and even in the dark age.

Strangely, the branches of the thorn tree have no leaves, only sharp thorns, but they can blossom and bear fruit. When the thorn tree blooms, two small bright red flowers will bloom at the bottom of each thorn out of thin air, usually one small red flower on the left and right sides, covering the roots of the thorns. The snow-white or golden branches, with bright red flowers, are very beautiful. When the little red flowers wither, they will produce red fruits that are round and the size of pigeon's eggs, and they are juicy and sweet.

Thorn wood likes to grow entangled, and when it grows up, the height of thorn wood is generally up to the chest of an adult human. Its thorns are long and sharp, for Terran slaves, if the small yard in front of the house needs a fence, it is generally an arm's length apart, around the small yard, planted with a dozen thorn trees, less than a year, thorn trees will be entangled into a natural barrier.

The crown of the King of the Protoss, woven from thorn wood, is said to be the will of the Holy Father.

Before the end of the war between the Light and Darkness Protoss and the Titans in the ancient era, the crowns of the kings of the Protoss were made of gold and inlaid with beautiful jewels.

At the end of the Ancient War, although the Light and Dark Protoss had won, they paid a heavy price, resulting in a sharp reduction in the number of races and a great loss of vitality. In a battle known as the Battle of Thornwood, the blood of both sides dyed the thorn trees in the valley golden. To commemorate this battle and commemorate the hard-won victory of the Light and Darkness Protoss, the Divine Father announced that henceforth, the crown of the Emperor of Heaven would no longer be made of gold, but would be woven from the branches of thorn wood. And that valley, located in a natural place, is also named the Valley of Victory.

The land of nature is a magical existence in the kingdom of heaven. The races of the kingdom of heaven, except for the human race, all have divine powers, or rather, have magical powers. However, no matter what kind of race you are, once you step into the natural land, you will lose your abilities and become as ordinary as humans. Even the people of the Protoss, when they step into the natural land, will lose their divine power and become no different from the Terrans. Therefore, the land of nature is also called "the land where the gods are no longer gods", or "the land where the magic of the gods disappears".

Natural lands are not found everywhere in Heaven. Especially in the light age, natural places are even rarer. However, once the light source goes out and the ash stage begins, the natural land will slowly appear, and even more and more.

The Battle of Thornwood, which was of great significance to the Light and Darkness Protoss and the Titan Protoss, took place in a natural place. The people of the Light and Darkness Protoss and the Titan Protoss, who had lost their divine powers, carried out hand-to-hand combat just like humans, and the blood flowed like rivers.

There is even a legend that the thorn trees in the heavens were originally snow-white, and after the Battle of Thornwood, the thorn trees in that valley were dyed golden yellow. In the kingdom of heaven, all the golden thorn trees outside that valley are the seeds of the thorn trees in that valley. And the crown of the king of the gods is to be woven from golden thorn wood branches.

The nearly 100,000 counts of the six divine clans who came to attend the ceremony were not as worried as Wen Ying about Grand Duke Ivan's canonization ceremony today. In their opinion, today's king-sealing ceremony should have been held as early as 5,000 years ago -- 5,000 years ago, after Eric became the emperor of the kingdom of heaven, the then king of the Raphael, Ivan and Eric's father, King Leonardo, when he was dying, intended to give the throne of the king of the Raphael tribe to Ivan, the marquis of the Raphael tribe at that time, but Ivan refused, and in desperation, King Leonardo had to hand over the throne of the king of the Raphael tribe to Emperor Eric.

At this moment, Queen Tribes sat on the throne and looked at the two couples in front of her.

In the center of the ninth-floor palace, two couples stood newlyweds.

Grand Duke Ivan wore a golden crown of thorn wood and a white robe, which was extremely slim and had smooth lines. At the tip of the collar, the coat of arms of the Raphaelite tribe is cut directly from a single piece of brilliant diamonds. The cuffs and hem of the robe are white roses, a beautiful pattern set with the same brilliant diamonds.

The white rose is not only the family flower of the Raphael royal family, the Vinci family, but also the current family flower of the Raphael family. According to the tradition of the Protoss, no matter which family, once it becomes a royal family, the family flower of the family will also become the family flower of the Protoss. For the seven branches of the Protoss, the clan emblem is forever the same, but the clan flower may change at any time.
