2 Human Encounters Chapter 269: Ceremony

The driving car stopped at the gate of the palace manor, and several people in formal clothes got out of the car, a total of five, and there was no doubt that these people were Chen Ming and others who were invited to attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

"Really, you can just use teleportation magic to come directly, but you don't have to make it so troublesome. ”

Chen Ming, who was awkwardly tugging at his tie, complained a little speechlessly, "This guy Tirestin cares more and more about the sense of ceremony." ”

"What's the solution?"

Liu Xinglan smiled, "This enthronement ceremony invited representatives from various cities, and there are many ordinary humans here, according to the rules, they can't use magic. ”

"It's fine. ”

Chloe sorted out his clothes for him and said, "You are also very handsome in formal clothes, it is more than enough to be an emperor!"

"Is this a position that can be made based on appearance?"

Chen Ming pursed his lips and said, "One by one, they all want to come out one by one, and one enthronement ceremony, all of them are so troublesome?"

"You have to adapt. ”

Shaqiro was accustomed to these seems, looked at the manor full of human figures and said, "In the future, your ceremony will only be more ...... Well...... Trouble?"

"Forehead ......"

Chen Ming rolled his eyes, but thinking about it, he is the successor of the Desperate Monarch, the monarch's dependents are innumerable, and this kind of thing is also very important in hell, if An Mixiu resigns from the position of monarch, then he, the successor, will be like Tirestin, so busy that he can't even sleep.

"Oh, Mr. Chenming, you're finally here!"

At this time, a strong figure came from a distance, and without looking, listening to the voice, he knew that it was General Ed, the generalissimo of the country.

"General Ed. ”

Seeing the visitor, Chen Ming saluted slightly and said with a smile, "You should have been busy these days, right? ”

"I'm fine, Your Majesty hasn't had much rest these days. ”

Ed smiled bitterly, "Now he's still dealing with those old-school nobles." ”

"But you're in a good mood. ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly and said, "People are in good spirits on happy occasions, congratulations." ”

"Haha. ”

Ed laughed, turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll take you in, and help Your Majesty share the bombardment of those old guys." ”

"I didn't really want to go in when you said that. ”

Having said that, Chen Ming and the others still followed Ed and entered the manor.

The layout of the palace is still the same as it was before it was destroyed, and the location of the council hall has not changed, it is still in the center of the manor.

"It's really hilarious. ”

Glancing at the smiling crowd around him, Chen Ming smiled and said, "It's really a shame that your Emperor Your Majesty can stand it." ”

"Your Majesty said that the people are the foundation of the country, and they are eligible to participate in the enthronement ceremony. ”

"If it weren't for the limited size of the palace, I'm afraid there would be more people here." ”

"It's a good thing to be happy with the people. ”

Chen Ming exclaimed, and then turned his gaze to some small groups not far away, separated from the crowd, "But there are people who don't seem to think so." ”

These small groups of people, judging by their gorgeous costumes and the pride on their faces from time to time, can be seen as those so-called nobles.

"It's all some bad habits left by the emperor, which makes Mr. smile. ”

Ed's face was also a little unpleasant, obviously this soldier who was used to fighting was extremely uninterested in these nobles.

"It's okay, it's good. ”

Chen Ming shook his head with a smile, pulled Shaqiluo, and followed Ed through the palaces to the square in front of the council hall.

Things gather people in groups, and the only people who are qualified to stay here are those nobles above the marquis, who are dressed in gorgeous clothes and discuss something in the wind and snow.

And the one who was surrounded by a group of princes and nobles was Emperor Tirestine, and Empress Lilith.

"It's really tiring. ”

Chen Ming looked at the immature young man who was a little anxious with a wry smile and said, "It seems that it is not easy to be an emperor......

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Ed sighed helplessly, "Busy dealing with the mess left by the previous emperor, and having to revise the law and approve government affairs, Your Majesty hasn't closed his eyes for three or four days, even with the queen." ”

"How tough these guys are......"

Pouting, Chen Ming stepped forward and smiled, "Tirestin." ”

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this name, and the brows of the princes and dukes who surrounded Tirrestin were even more slightly furrowed.

"Who is this guy? How dare you call His Majesty's name?"

"You haven't seen this yet? He is the emperor who His Majesty personally canonized, Chen Ming. Now he can be regarded as the most respected person in the kingdom except for His Majesty and the Queen. ”

"But even if this is the case, you can't call Your Majesty by his name! Even the prince has to call him Your Majesty, how can he be qualified to do this as a foreigner?"

"Uh...... Am I calling it by mistake?"

Glancing at Ed with a wry smile a little embarrassed, Tatsunami pursed his lips speechlessly.

"No, you're not mistaken. ”

Getting rid of the entanglement of those ministers, Tirestine and Lilith walked over, and in full view of everyone, they bent down and saluted Chenming, "You are my partner who is also a teacher and friend, without you, there would be no me today, so you can call me whatever you want!"

Surrounded by the gaze like a needle, the corners of Chen Ming's mouth twitched, and he said a little unnaturally, "Your Majesty...... Below, you are the most honorable man in the kingdom, your ...... How can I afford such a big gift from you?"

Chloe, Charles and the others behind them couldn't help laughing when they saw Chen Ming's extremely awkward face, and even Liu Xinglan's face turned red with a smile, and she was forced to cough a few times.

"......"

Tirestin was stunned, and was about to speak. But seeing the warm smile on Chen Ming's face, he was stunned in his heart, and changed the topic, "Sir, it's a little late to come today, and when the ceremony is over, do you want to treat me to a drink?"

"Well said, well said. ”

Chen Ming raised his hand and was about to pat his left shoulder, but when he saw the empty sleeves, he was stunned, changed his hand softly, patted his right shoulder, and said with a smile, "Seeing Your Majesty's achievements today, Chen, I am also very happy for you." ”

Tirestin was slightly stunned, then smiled warmly, "Thank you, sir." ”

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chenming. ”

At this time, an old man in a long robe came from a distance, saluted and said, "The ceremony is about to begin, shouldn't we go in and prepare?"

The two of them looked at each other, both smiling slightly, and Tirestin said, "It's time to prepare, Pope Hasted, let's go." ”

With that, Tirestin and Chenming followed Hasted out of the square.

"I kind of don't trust this old fox......"

After the three of them left, Charles narrowed his eyes and secretly released his magic power, "Do you think he will take this opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and kill us?"

"Don't worry. ”

Liu Xinglan smiled, "Although Hasted hates demons very much, he also knows that peace is not easy to come by, and Tirestin's philosophy is very consistent with him, at least today, he will not make a move." ”

"Hmph, I don't trust you either!"

Charles snorted coldly, but still took back the magic power, "But what you said is not unreasonable. ”

"Hush. ”

Liu Xinglan pursed his lips and muttered, "Tsundere Flame Demon." ”

......

Following Hasted to the room at the back of the hall of the council hall, the three of them stopped, and Hasted said, "Everything is ready, and the rest, as long as it is carried out according to the regulations, there is basically no problem." ”

"I see. ”

Tirestin smiled and nodded, "The Pope has been crowned. ”

"It's my duty. ”

Hasted shook his head, turned around, and said, "Then Your Majesty and Mr. will rest here for a while, and when the bell rings, the ceremony can begin." ”

With that, he left the place.

The two sat at the conference table, silent for a while, Chen Ming smiled, "Since the first time I met, Your Majesty has grown a lot, I think, you will be a good emperor." ”

"When the two of them are alone, Mr. still calls me Tirestine, the word Your Majesty, I still sound a little awkward. ”

Tirestin smiled bitterly, "I don't know if it's good or not, but I know that if I can choose, I'd rather not be this emperor, it's really too troublesome." ”

"I'm afraid you're the only one in the world who thinks so, right?"

Chen Ming smiled, then looked at Tirestin's broken arm, pursed his lips, and said, "Your arm...... If you want, I can help you recover. ”

"Restoration?"

Tirestin was stunned, but shook his head and smiled, "If you don't say it, I'm about to forget, but forget it, anyway, even if I recover, I'm just a short-lived emperor, whether I have arms or not, it's actually the same." ”

Chen Ming's eyes moved slightly, he was silent for a long time, and his cheeks drooped, "Since you have decided, I respect your choice." ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

Tirestin smiled and said, "Although it is a little brazen, I still want to ask Mr. for something." ”

"Oh?"

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "What's the matter?"

"If you can," said Tirestin, "I would like you to sign a contract with my child when he is born, and I would like you to help him when he has a problem that he can't solve." ”

"Are you sure?"

Chen Ming frowned slightly, and said, "To sign a contract with a demon is to sell your soul to hell, I don't recommend you to do this, I am from hell and know the horror of hell." ”

"I don't think there's anything else to be scary about it except the human heart. ”

Tirestin said with a smile, "Compared to the human heart, I think the world of hell is countless times more peaceful, although we demons are powerful, but why have we been completely liberated today? It's not that no one has ever had the idea of fighting the throne, but because simple demons always listen to human lies at critical times, I don't want my children to experience tragedies like me and like the queen mother." ”

He pleaded again, "Mr. Tatsumei, I know that you are different from other demons, and you are very principled in what you do, so I implore you to grant my request!"

"Can you let me think about it?"

Chen Ming didn't dare to agree directly, he wasn't sure if he could do what Tirestin wanted, "You have to think about it yourself, it's your child after all." ”

"Good. ”

Tirestin nodded and said, "Then tell me your decision after the ceremony is over." ”

"Knock! knock......"

No sooner had they finished speaking than a long bell rang outside.

The bell fell, and Tatsunei got up and said, "Let's go." ”

The main hall of the council hall is connected to the room where the two men are located by a passageway, and on weekdays, the emperor first finishes his government affairs here before going to the hall to hold a court meeting.

But today, there have been some changes in the process of entering the court.

The holy and glorious hall was already full of people, these people, without exception, were all nobles, even if they were invited by the emperor, the commoner representatives of those major cities were still only qualified to stand outside, firstly because the space in this hall was not enough to accommodate so many people, and secondly, because the nobles did not allow these commoners who seemed to them to be very humble to sit on an equal footing with them.

When the noise had completely stopped, Chenming and Hested stepped out of the passages on either side of the throne, and then retreated to the second staircase and bent over.

After a while, Tirestin walked slowly from the passage that Chen Ming had just walked out of, and walked to the throne, and at this time he had a red shawl on his body, and the shawl was embroidered with gold thread thorns, strange but luxurious.

It wasn't until the emperor sat down that Chen Ming and Hested straightened up, the two glanced at each other, the former walked to the center of the steps and stood, and said loudly, "The coronation ceremony of the ninety-second emperor of the Holy Realm Hestifo begins now!"

Pope Hested slowly came to Chenming's side and stopped, his eyes were slightly raised, and the ministers bowed their heads, and he said in a loud voice, "After inquiries by the Holy Church, the former Emperor Elvika Ross had a total of nine princes, the crown prince Miller disappeared for no reason, and the second prince Tiger died at an early age. Ross, fortunately, the three princes have both virtue and wisdom and good deeds, and were granted the right to inherit the throne by His Majesty Elvika in his will, and the first emperor died of illness, although it is a pity, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, it is today, I am crowned the new emperor as the state pope Hester Meteor!"

The last two words fell, and out of the passage on either side came an attendant, each holding a tray in his hand, a crown encrusted with precious stones on the left, and a scepter made of pure gold on the right, delicately carved with a large ruby at the top.

Chen Ming spoke, "Crown!"

Hasted nodded, walked to Tirestin's side with the attendant behind him, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and prayed in a low voice, a faint light wrapped around Tirestin's side, making him look quite graceful.

After praying, the two looked at each other and nodded, and Hested held the crown in both hands and said in a loud voice, "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." Even if you are the emperor, you should bear the weight of the whole country and move forward with responsibilities and obligations, are you willing?"

Tirestin's face was solemn, and he said in a loud voice, "I am willing to dedicate my life to the kingdom based on the people's foundation and protection!"

Hasted was relieved, thirty years ago, he also crowned Elvika, but at that time, Elvika was based on imperial power and royal family, which was diametrically opposed to Tirestin's original intention.

As the Seraphic Angel of Heaven, Hested is of course more inclined to the former, he has been in Hestifo for thirty years, plus Tirestine, a total of two generations of emperors, Elvika reigned, both the courtiers and the nobles regarded him as the manipulator behind the emperor, and the emperor was just a puppet of him.

But in reality, it was only a deal he had made with the Emperor in order to secure the power of Heaven in Hestif, and he was the last fig leaf for the Emperor's blatant ambitions.

But Tirestine, the new emperor who should hate himself and the angels, was able to let go of this hatred for the sake of his people and the country, and let him stay in Hestifo, still taking the church as the state religion and doing things for the benefit of the people.

Although they are all transactions, there is no doubt that Angel Hasted would prefer to work with such a master.

Hayside stretched out his deadwood-like palm and gently placed it on top of the crown, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Please allow me to offer my most sincere blessings for Your Majesty!"

The divine light, which only a few people could see, formed a huge angelic phantus above Tirestine's head.

"Divine Magic, Blessing ...... Angels"

Chloe and Liu Xinglan's eyes were slightly cold, and the latter muttered in a low voice, "Every angel can only use this kind of magic once in his life, this is a real blessing, and it can only be dedicated to those who really want to bless......"

How unbelievable and yet so natural is that the transcendent Hasted, an archangel who is also a strong man in heaven, would offer his purest kindness for the emperor of the world.

It took a long time for the angelic radiance to slowly dissipate, and the fatigue that had haunted Tirestine for a long time disappeared without a trace, and Hasted said, "On the day of your majesty's real death, my blessing will open the door to heaven for you, and it is up to your majesty to decide whether to go or not." ”

With that, he retreated back to his place, and Tirestin got up, saluted slowly to the slightly rickety body, and then looked at Chenming.

Hasted shouted, "Authorization Staff!"

Chen Ming's eyes moved slightly, and he walked up to Tirestin with his attendant, and said with a smile, "The minister is not as eloquent as the Pope, and he will not send blessings, but since His Majesty calls the minister the emperor, then the minister will do his duty as a minister." ”

He took the scepter, looked at the ministers, and said, "I am the emperor, and I should be responsible for educating the court, and supervise the law on behalf of Your Majesty.

Holding the scepter in both hands, he turned to Tirestin and bent down, saying, "What does Your Majesty think?"

Tirestin smiled slightly and said, "What the emperor said, everything I said!"
