Chapter 80: Towards the Ten Thousand Waves (I)
My student, I proudly watch you grow day by day, learning advanced arcane knowledge, and from the moment you become a master, I have completed the task of the second half of my life. You have to carry out your arcane path and go forever. But remember, always look back at the people who follow you, they love you, and you have to care for them.
I firmly believe that you will eventually take my place, when I will grow old and you will be the best leader.
Today was the day when the students officially accepted the pledge of allegiance, and I opened my eyes and asked the apprentice: where is Shane.
"Master Oakes, Master Shane is waiting for you."
"Bring me my dress and go to the study to clean it"
"Yes," the apprentice retreated.
With the help of a few apprentices, I got my grooming in order not to look twilight, but to look majestic and add sparkle to Shane's ceremony. Looking in the mirror, satisfied with the outfit, I teleported to the lounge next to the ceremonial hall.
Shane immediately wanted me to salute, he was always so polite, I said a few words to him and waited for the ceremony to begin.
None of the followers he had met had decided to quit. At this moment, they were standing in a hall on the third floor of the tower, standing on both sides, with a red and gold-rimmed carpet in the middle, and the magic lamp above their heads emitted a white light, shining in the center, forming a pillar of light.
It's noon.
"Master, it's time for the ceremony, please move to the hall."
I watched as Shane nodded and followed him into the hall, all of whom were dressed in formal dresses and solemn expressions. Inherited from ancient rituals, the first time you accept the allegiance of your followers, you will be witnessed by a master. At the same time, there were also representatives of the royal court, legal representatives and other relevant personnel to observe the ceremony.
"Shane, Master of the Dawnblade is here."
With this voice, the moment Shane walked out, more than twenty people knelt neatly on one knee. This kneeling establishes a subordinate relationship, a relationship supervised by the elven society. They will not fail Shane, and Shaun will not fail them.
The music played, and the sound awakened my memory, and the sonorous sound of abandoning the elf's leisurely tune poured into my ears. "My comrades-in-arms, I see you again," I thought sadly, and the bloody years seemed to be just around the corner.
"Hadurunqing, come forward"
Sean's voice woke me up, and I watched intently at this moment, my students, you have many good followers, love them as yourself, and they will give you the highest glory.
…………
In front of everyone's eyes, the named followers immediately stepped forward respectfully and knelt down on one knee, and under the pillar of light in which he was also bathed, the light signified the purity of the ceremony, witnessed by the sun.
Shane looked at the ranger, fate had bound them together, each relying on hard work to get to where they are today, the two looked at each other, smiling implicitly, the relationship changed, but the friendship established before did not change.
He is one of the people Shaun is known to have his fate altered, and he would have been the Ranger Lord in the normal timeline, and then the Ranger General after the destruction of Quel'Sellas and the death and wounding of the royal and high-ranking clans. But today, he swore allegiance to Shane as the commander of the Red Flame Guard.
After only one glance, Haduron put his right hand on his chest and bowed his head.
Shane stroked his forehead and said the oath calmly and solemnly.
"Hadurunqing, starting today, we are like brothers."
"Yes, I swear by the ancient traditions of our people, witnessed by the sun, to offer loyalty, not to forsake me, not to live up to my mission, to follow our Lord, to pledge loyalty."
Sean nodded, then raised his hand, and the red cloak unfurled, the red floating like water, supple and luxurious. The cloak was draped over Hadurun's back.
"Hadurunqing, the sun witnesses, I will live up to me, I will live up to you, your family, your sisters, your brothers, is my family, my brothers, my sisters, I will treat them well, consistently."
The squire came with a disc with a short sword, robes, and badges. All of them are printed with Shane's personal emblem: the pattern of the ring of the coat of the red sun and the white tower, which is interpreted as the ring of wisdom, the meaning of unity and completeness.
"Hadurun Qing"
"In"
"I look forward to showing my strengths and establishing meritorious achievements."
"For thy glory, thou shalt not fail in thy mission."
He saluted again, then touched Shaun's cheek to the cheek, took the tray and was guided by the attendant to the nearby hut to change into his robes.
Tallonikus has worked with Shane in many ways, and he was appointed Chief Engineer for the second acceptance ceremony. The third is named Ratherne, the captain of the Dawnblade, and Shane asks the Mentor if he wants to transfer to his command. The fourth was the botanist Frevin, who became one of the most popular inspirations to the common people.
As with all followers, once they officially become Shaun's followers, their lives and futures are in charge of Shane. The treatment is mentioned in the contract, and the most important thing is that their rank has been improved, and their social status is not inferior to that of ordinary high-level clan members, and the people they come into contact with will change dramatically, which is a major improvement in their lives. The descendants of the family also have a guarantee, they no longer have to fight from scratch, they are unanimously protected by the master, and the educational resources of the Mage Tower will be opened to them first, and the chances of success are several times more than that of civilians.
Firehawk and Solan Lian are not followers, they are the Five Rings Mage, they are Shane's subordinates, and they have the freedom to belong in life, and correspondingly, there are no restrictions and rights of followers. This is the difference between subordinates and subordinates
There are more and more people who accept the ceremony, and on the viewing platform next to it, I also look below, this canonization, Xia En has all the honors that a master should have, and when the tower is completed, the clan will have a guarantee for at least a thousand years. If it weren't for him, after my death, the Blade of Dawn would probably have been absorbed by the royal court as an arm. But with him, everything is different, and I can't help but smile with satisfaction when I think of this. Shane, if he gets married and leaves his bloodline, then there will be no more regrets, and don't regret something for the rest of his life like me.
When the last of the followers, undergoing the ritual and changing into their robes, they returned to the hall and swore allegiance to Shane once more.
"Master Shane?" At this time, the representative of the royal court stood up.
"Yes, on behalf of Your Excellency, please announce the decision of the royal court and the council."
Wang Ting always seizes every opportunity to show his presence, I can't help but think.
"Obey the orders of the ......," the representative saluted, and said loudly: "By the order of the king, the ministers overseer, the master of Shane-Dawnblade enjoys all the honors that are due, and all my people will be honored, and all my ministers will be honored." and he shall love my people, and shall honour my servants, and shall not transgress ......."
Privilege and duty are equal, and I know that Sean has always understood this and guided his actions. Shane's tower is in the northwest corner, the closest point to the sea in Silvermoon City, and the state is responsible for its construction. I would have liked him to build the tower next to mine to form the layout of the twin towers, but the location was chosen by him himself, and I couldn't interfere. The royal court and the council are very generous, and they give Shane 300,000 gold coins at one time, 100,000 annuities per year, they see my old state, do you want to win him over? I'll have to hold on until Shane is enough to intimidate the rest of the masters, and then hold on for a little longer, and hold on again.
Speaking of gold coins, the money he earns is too small, and the Dawn Blade gives him a profit of 100,000 yuan every year, plus the annuity is only 200,000, which is not enough for me to run the tower for half a year, the Red Sun White Tower? Can you make money? It's enough to sustain yourself every year. He's still too young and lacks all the things to do, but I'm looking forward to seeing how he performs and see him turn things around.
"Master Shane, I am the representative of the Silvermoon Court."
And then came a man who was a witness to the legal validity of the ritual. "Master Shane, may I ask what to do with the person who offended you last time."
"Erehy, you've studied law, and there are precedent," Shane asked his followers.
"My lord, one hundred and fifty years ago, someone who offended the master was sentenced to thirty years of exile."
"Very well, you step down"
"Yes"
"On Your Behalf of Your Excellency"
"Yes."
"Sentenced them to thirty years of exile in Hinterland."
"Obey Taiwan's orders"
Shane decided the fate of those troublemakers in one sentence, but everyone present thought that it was appropriate to deal with it.
"Mentor, do you have any other instructions?"
"No, Shane, the rest of the time is yours and your followers."
I watched the delegates retreat one by one, and as I turned and walked away, Shane, my student, I will soon step down from the stage, and you will be the leader.
