Chapter 447: The ritual itself is never the point
For many, it's a sleepless night. However, for Fang Zheng and the others, the night was very leisurely, and early the next morning, after breakfast, they were taken to the square of Golden Bay by the servants sent by Augland to begin to participate in the ceremony.
Although logically speaking, you can't say that you can't prepare for such a ceremony for thirty or fifty days, but this time it's all big shots, if this is a ceremony organized by a certain country, then you must leave everyone behind, spend a few days to make all kinds of private operational preparations, and then secretly reach a consensus with several forces before starting the ceremony.
But this time it was the platinum family who presided over the ceremony, so naturally it couldn't be done like this, this time there were many people, but they were all drunk. And now, they have all obtained the information and information they want, so the ceremony itself is not so important to these people.
Because of this, Ogeland didn't waste any more time, although the platinum family also has a lot of status within the Holy Sect Country, but which of the representatives who came to participate in the ceremony this time is not much bigger than them, and many of them are powerful and powerful, if it weren't for Vice Admiral John, the commander of the Seventh Fleet, if it wasn't for the sake of suppressing the momentum of the Holy Sect Country, how could he care about what the hell is going on with a noble family in the Holy Sect Country?
At the moment, what everyone wants to see has been seen, and the Flame Country, together with the Wealth Country, has indeed made great efforts to suppress the Holy Sect Country, but in the end it still ended in failure. Not only that, but with the appearance of this mysterious fleet, it is almost equivalent to announcing that there is another force on this continent that is enough to affect the situation of the entire world.
As for the name of this force, what its background is, and where it is, these questions are not so easy to understand for a while, but in any case, as long as they appear, then for other forces, this is enough.
Therefore, if the platinum family delays for a few more days, then the others will not agree.
Lao Tzu is worth millions of dollars per minute, accompany you, a hillbilly, to drink the northwest wind here? When we are sick?
Oglan naturally didn't want to pull the hatred of so many people, so on the second day when everyone arrived, a ceremony was immediately heldβββ of course, this was also to give the country of flames and the country of wealth a face, otherwise, if they stayed here for a few more days, they were afraid that these people would be angry and tear down the golden bay.
Oh, look at those huge warships in the sky, do they have the courage to say so?
The whole ritual process is very simple, Ogeland didn't do anything annoying, but first started by telling about the past and present life of Golden Bay, and at the same time more or less explained to everyone how Golden Bay returned to human handsβββ after all, many people are also interested in the rumors of Golden Bay, and no one knows the inside story except for Fang Zheng and Tilia, but Ogelan also heard about it from Fang Zheng, and then said it after a while.
Of course, during this period, she naturally did not forget to give Fang Zheng a "wise and martial arts" or something like that, although Ogeland was furious when she remembered that she was thrown into the sea by the other party at that time, but now the entire Golden Bay is supported by Fangzheng, so she is also smiling, and directly blows Fang Zheng into a hero who saves Golden Bay......... Although this is indeed true.
And after that, Grand Knight Astor also spoke on behalf of the Temple, and like Miss O'Grand, he first boasted about Fang Zheng, but this time he added a lot of praise from the Temple, such as "abide by the rules of the Holy Knight" and "fight for life to eliminate evil", etc., the discerning person can know at a glance that this Temple is now planning to show favor to Fang Zheng.........
Of course, the Grand Knight of Astor did not forget to express their willingness to support freedom of navigation as always, and to safeguard the interests of merchant ships in order to build the Golden Bay into a new century......... All in all, it's all this and that.
Lieutenant General John, who naturally listened to these words, had a dark cloud on his face, you must know that these words were originally spoken by the Flame Nation before, and now the group of guys in the Holy Sect Country who meowed to him actually copied their speeches......... Except for the change of the name of the country, this is almost word for word, okay!
This is a blatant mockery!
The representatives of the other forces and nations obviously heard it too, so the Grand Knight of Astor spoke above, and the representatives below held back a laugh......... A slap in the face or a double slap in the face, the enmity between the Holy Sect Country and the Flame Country is a big one......... However, the two countries are not dealing with each other in the first place, so this is nothing.
Looking at the expressions of the representatives around him, Lieutenant General John's heart became more and more unhappy, this time he really lost his wife and broke his army, not only was the advance number scrapped, but even the idiots under his command fought with the other party in full viewβββ if you want to win, you actually lost to a group of children less than ten years old?!
Lieutenant General John can be sure that after today's ceremony, this matter will become the laughing stock of all countries on the mainland!
But these are small things, and for Lieutenant General John, the most important thing is that from today onwards, the maritime supremacy of their Flame Nation will completely cease to exist!!
You must know that the reason why the Fire Nation is able to have such a powerful power and influence on this continent is entirely due to the fact that they control the entire sea area. And other forces have to befriend them because of this, but now that the Holy Religion has risen, then these forces naturally don't have to look at them anymore.
But......... Even if you know, what can you do?
Thinking of this, Vice Admiral John couldn't help but raise his head again and look at the metal battleship in the distance. He had confirmed to the accompanying mage that they were not illusions, nor projections, but real existences. That is to say, these warships are not an illusion, so what will the Flame Nation do......... To deal with such a fleet?
Forget it, now let's see what those fat pigs who are in the eye of money have to do.
Lieutenant General John also sighed helplessly, as a soldier, there is only so much he can do. But the country of wealth should not turn a blind eye to this, after all, the accumulation of wealth in the country of wealth also has a deep relationship with the sea lanes, and the rise of the country of holy religion and the transfer of control of the sea will also cause immeasurable losses to the country of wealth.
Soon, the Grand Knight of Astor finished speaking, and then the three of Auglan, Astor and Fangzheng walked out and symbolically threw a handful of dirt, and the ceremony was over. But......... As I said before, the ritual itself is never the point.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Ogeland was about to announce the end of the ceremony, a voice suddenly interrupted her speech, and the group saw a fat man with a big belly and a gorgeous costume walking out of the crowd. Seeing his appearance, many people were stunned, and then silently entered the theater modeβββ because this person who came was the representative of Caron, the country of wealth.
ββ¦β¦β¦ Excuse me, is there anything else? β
Seeing the appearance of this fat man, Ogeland frowned slightly, she had almost guessed the other party's intention, but ......... What should I do?
"Before the ceremony is over, I have one thing I want to discuss with His Excellency Fang Zheng."
Saying this, the fat man set his eyes on Fangzheng.
"Your Excellency Fang Zheng, your warship is indeed amazing, and it has opened our eyes, but ......... When your ship landed, it collided with our Advance, resulting in the complete destruction of our Advance......... I guess you'll compensate us accordingly. β
"Oh?"
Hearing the fat man's words, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Is there such a thing?"
ββ¦β¦β¦ Do you want to act like it never happened? Everyone who was at the airport at that time can testify for us! β
"That's ........."
Fang Zheng raised his head, touched his chin, and recalled carefully.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention, maybe your ship is too small?"
"Hahahaha........."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, a series of low laughter broke out in the crowd, and the fat man representative and Vice Admiral John also had gloomy facesβββ they spared no expense to build the Advance, just to make it appear as the largest warship on this continent, but Fang Zheng actually said that his battleship was too small for him to see......... Although he wanted to talk back, he glanced at the hell angel level moored in the distance.........
I'm so angry, what the other party said is completely true, and I can't talk back at all!!
"But......... With so many warships, why was this one of yours hit? I doubt you guys touched porcelain on purpose........."
Fang Zheng is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, and one sentence immediately deviates from the topic, and the others are also stunned when they hear this.
Yes, you say that these fat people are better than the devils in hell, how can they make such a mistake? The other warships ran away, only the Advance did not? What the? You say the Advance is slower than any other battleship? Do you have proof?
Could it be that these fat men did this on purpose, so that they could knock on the square stroke?
"So Your Excellency Fangzheng, are you going to admit it?"
At this moment, the fat man's face also became ugly, and he didn't expect a Templar to be so shameless......... And the other people's faces also became a little strange, although they all knew that Caron's group wanted to extort money, but this Fang Zheng was a little too .........
"Ahem, ahem, may you allow me to say a word?"
At this moment, Lieutenant General John also stood up and said with a smile. Seeing him stand up, Grand Knight Astor and Bishop Karl also changed slightly. But before they could react, Lieutenant General John had already spoken.
"In any case, it is a fact that Your Lordship hit our Advance in full view of everyone, of course, we have made mistakes ourselves, after all, this battleship has just been built, and we are not yet fully familiar with the performance of this battleship, but in any case, this Advance was also built by us and Caron at a great cost, so no matter what, you must give us an explanation."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Lieutenant General John with a smile.
"So, what do you propose?"
"It's simple."
Lieutenant General John also raised his head at this moment and showed a smile.
"For the sake of fairness, we might as well use the 'rite of judgment' to decide. β
"What............"
Hearing this, everyone around was stunned, and Ogelan also frowned, and was about to say something, but before she could speak, Fang Zheng had already made a decision.
"Okay, so let's do it."
