Chapter 129: The Path of Evolution (1)
In real history, the coronation ceremony is far from being as easy as I wrote, the dignity of the nobles, the glory of the royal family, so that these nobles even in the life and death situation, even in the crisis of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, have to prepare for a long time, invite guests, buy banquets, waste a lot of manpower and material resources, and can only be regarded as 'barely qualified'.

For example, Charles VII, the king of France, was at the end of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and the British army was like a bamboo, occupying most of France, from Normandy to Orleans, although France was blessed by God, saints from heaven or something, it was like a fairy tale. But Joan of Arc only temporarily lifted the siege of Orleans, and the whole of France was still in danger, but even in such circumstances, the crown prince Charles was crowned.
I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with coronation, that a family cannot be left without an owner for a day, and that a country cannot be without a king for a day. In fact, being crowned in the case of a big victory just won can boost morale and stabilize the people's hearts, which is a good deal that will not accompany all profits.
However, it is inevitable that it will be too loud.
Four noble nobles greeted Abbot Saint-Rémy, who was holding the oil, and then slowly escorted the procession through the main entrance of the Cathedral of Reims, where the bottle of Anointing Oil was officially handed over to the Archbishop of Reims.
Immediately following the bottle of anointing oil into the church was the French magistrate of the time (i.e. the president of the French army) holding aloft a sword decorated with a lily motif of the French royal family. The Magistrate, together with 11 other representatives of the noble title, six of the secular nobility and six of the Church, will stand around the altar of the church with the important ritual vessels of the King's coronation and assist the Crown Prince in completing the anointing ceremony and the coronation of the King as a true King.
After that, there was the anointing ceremony, and after nine times, the crowned Charles had to promise the bishops their privileges, and then to the nobles to guarantee their land, and only after unanimous approval could the Archbishop of Reims put the crown firmly on Charles's head.
But that's not all, the coronation was followed by a grand revelry, with an unlimited supply of bread and wine, which kept the whole city in a state of drunkenness - the duration of the revelry depended on the situation, and the longest could be half a month, while Charles VII was considered 'shabby' because of the urgency of the war, which lasted less than a week.
Finally, when the revelry is over, when the crowned king is seated on the throne, the city will be released as a symbol of peace, and the city's church bells will ring in unison to congratulate a new king on his assumption of power.
Fortunately, I'm writing a novel here, so I can ignore quite a lot of things, and I don't need to go into such detail, otherwise the coronation alone would have been a hundred and ten chapters......
However, although it is said to be cheap, this part of the carnival is still indispensable - otherwise so many people would have crowded at the door of the church early, waiting for a day, jumping and shouting, so saving face, consuming so much physical strength, what is the purpose?
Isn't it just for these days in a row, you can definitely eat your stomach full, and you can watch the drama and watch the excitement and enjoy the carnival! Moreover, holding such a carnival is also beneficial to the newly appointed Tang Grand Duke, showing financial resources, improving fame, and winning the hearts of the people, which are all essential.
However, the little Tang Duke looked a little absent-minded.
"Earl...... Cheer up, Your Excellency, for this dinner is of great importance to you. ”
The commoners had their revelry, and the nobles certainly had their own salons, and the two must not be messed with. At this moment, the little Count Tang was dressed in silk clothes that had been transported from the Far East through Ayyub, through Eastern Rome, through Venice, and then by long sea routes, and the price was comparable to gold, but he did not pay a penny.
This was a certain Venetian merchant, who had wanted to make a fortune by buying and selling silk, but when he heard that the Count of Little Tang was going to be crowned Grand Duke, he sent him a gift overnight - but he did not suffer a loss, and in return, the Little Duke arranged for him a place at the dinner - do not underestimate this position, since ancient times, agriculture and commerce have been the same, both in the East and the West. Although the merchant is rich, but in the eyes of the nobles, he is a fat sheep in captivity, and he can kill when he wants.
"Yes, I understand, Knight Alcoba."
The Grand Duke of Xiao Tang bowed slightly, nodded to the loyal knights beside him, and then raised the wine glass in his hand, and the nobles who had been paying attention to the movements of the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang saw his movements, and immediately raised their wine glasses, and immediately there was a cry of "Your Excellency the Duke has no borders" and "The Duke is always healthy".
But to be honest, tired, Grand Duke Xiao Tang is really not very tired, although the coronation ceremony has been tossed all day, but this has been rehearsed several times, and he only needs to stand, how can there be Wade quasi-knights who are responsible for safety, and Klein who is running around to arrange things.
However, it is true that the little Tang Grand Duke is absent-minded, because ...... He couldn't open his golden finger anymore.
As we said before, although the little Tang Dagong hates his golden finger more and more, thinking that the golden finger will make him think that this is just a game and not the real world, and the people he loves, fights for, or loves him, respects him, and are willing to die for him are just a bunch of data. But Goldfinger is to him what a computer is to us, I would be bored with a computer, and even more boring without a computer......
Besides, the detection function of the golden finger is really easy to use, especially the favorability, Xiao Tang Dagong doesn't have to look at the people around him several times a day, and he can't sleep at ease.
But the moment he was crowned Grand Duke, the moment Bishop Philip put the scepter in his hand, the moment he turned to the cheers of the multitude, he found that the golden finger could not be used.
It is conceivable that the little Tang Grand Duke was flustered at that time, but fortunately, the coronation process has been rehearsed several times, and now he is also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, and his psychological endurance is completely different from before, so he can barely suppress the impulse to panic and force himself to stand here.
However, in fact, there is no need for him to panic at all, because Xiaobawang (the original name of Goldfinger, does anyone still remember?) The above system message makes it clear that this is just a self-evolving system. Since the little Count Tang has been crowned Grand Duke, the kindergarten (three to five years old) course is naturally over, and after kindergarten graduation, it is of course time to go to primary school (six to twelve years old).
…… Well, the Grand Duke is an elementary school, then the king is a secondary school, the emperor is a high school, what is a university? What is a master's degree or a doctorate? Rushing out of the earth to the universe, is our journey a sea of stars?
It is estimated that in this life, the next life, the next life, until the eighteenth life, he will not be able to graduate from high school, and even going to middle school has become a problem!
However, perhaps this is the reason why the little Tang Grand Duke is flustered, the fear comes from the unknown, and it is precisely because he doesn't know what Goldfinger will evolve into this time, so he panics. Although the previous gold finger was useless, and most of the favorability can only be used as a reference, not taken seriously, but there is also a psychological comfort!
This is good, if the option to check the favorability is directly canceled after evolution, then the little Tang Dagong really wants to cry without tears!
It also really canceled ......
Finally, after waiting like a torment, the system prompt sound like a natural sound finally appeared in the ears of the Duke of Xiao Tang again, and he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to open the bulletin panel of the golden finger - anyway, the local natives couldn't see it.
Translucent dense words suddenly filled Count Tang's face, and the first of them was highlighted in large blood-red letters, 'Notice on reducing the number of uses of the probe function'.
Just reduce instead of canceling, should the little Tang Grand Duke feel fortunate?
But Xiaobawang also has its own reasons, what is the purpose of Xiaobawang's making? Help you grow! If you have been relying on the exploration function of Xiaobawang, and when you meet someone, you will explore it first, and you will not use your own mind to analyze and think at all, then what kind of growth egg, it is better not to have Xiaobawang!
The reason why it used to be unlimited, of course, is because it used to be a kindergarten, and kindergarten is to let you play happily, and you have just crossed into this era, and saving your life is the first priority. But now that you don't have to worry about your life and are still in elementary school, of course, you have to start learning slowly, and it makes sense to reduce the number of times you use the detection function.
Well, it's kind of barely acceptable.
Xiao Tang Dagong nodded, although the probing function has dropped a bit big, from the previous unlimited to ten times a day, but ten times is not less, every day is not wasted, it is barely enough. Besides, even if the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang doesn't accept it, can he still go to the little overlord to complain?
However, there must be gains and losses, and since it has been clearly stated that it is 'starting to learn', then there should be real materials.
With this in mind, Count Tang's eyes looked down, and then his face was happy......
