Chapter 533: Sealing the Altar and Worshipping the General
Facing Higg, who was crying with joy, hugged him tightly and said something that people couldn't understand at all, Nicole was at a loss, so she had to gently pat Higg's shoulder with her own hands, "I'm fine, you're okay, we'll wait for you!" ”
Higg didn't hear what Nicole said at all, he was already immersed in his own reverie, Nicole was fine, Iona was fine, his daughter Christina was fine, Blue Fairy and everyone in Fuxing City would be fine, and history would not change because of the battle more than thirty years ago, because it was really a nightmare, it was really nothingness......
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" What really woke up Higg was a few heavy coughs, Higg followed the prestige and found that Ainsai and the queen had also come, Ainsey looked at him angrily, but the queen had a big mouth, and then looked at the citizens, those magic apprentices, they all looked at him almost with stunned eyes......
Only then did Higg notice that he was still holding a Nicole regent in his arms, and it was in public, which was too gaffe, so he pushed Nicole away, took a heavy breath, and said: "After experiencing life and death, I know that friendship is precious, Nicole, just now I lost my temper, but it is out of love, it is difficult to control myself, don't mind!" ”
"What do you and I have to say?" Nicole said with a smile: "It seems that you have gained a lot in the magic library, I really regret not going in with you, take a moment to tell me again, today is the altar to worship the general, you are the protagonist, don't lose your temper again!" ”
"What?" Higg had a surprised expression, he didn't expect that he had been in the magic library for five days, and these people had come to welcome him to the altar to worship him, so he had to nod and say: "I didn't expect it, I thought I just went in and had a dream, but five days have passed, and my dream is too long!" Don't worry, the general of the alchemy country, who else can I be! ”
……
The sound of drums played, and Nicole and Higg walked out of the gate of the Magic Guild, followed by the guard of honor, followed by Ainsey and the queen, with a huge canopy above their heads, and then a guard of honor, but the king and queen's own guard of honor, not the guard of honor who worshipped the altar, then the majestic Xuanjia guards, then the representatives of the royal family, the representatives of the clan, followed by the marshals of the various armies, the admirals, and the generals, followed by the important members of the court and the members of the parliament, because they were the altar worshippers, In normal times, the ceremony was that the ministers of the imperial court were important members of the parliament before the marshals and admirals, but today the important members of the army have a higher status than the important members of the imperial court and the ministers.
The major nobles with titles, the magic guide representatives of the magic guild, the representatives of the various forces who were invited, etc., and finally there are neat phalanxes of various military branches, and the entire honor guard team marches out of the magic guild in turn.
Except for the cavalry guard of honor, no one had chariots and horses, including King Einsey and the queen, who marched on foot, and the huge canopy was also carried on foot......
As soon as Higg and Nicole exited the gates of the Magic Guild, three huge salutes rang out, deafening.
Immediately Higg's eyes lit up, and the whole street of Scana took on a new look, and all the houses and buildings along the way were freshly painted, and the houses and shops were all brightly lit and the flowers were paved......
"Isn't it too grandiose?" Higg said with a smile to Nicole, who was holding her hand beside her.
Nicole shook her head and said with a smile: "No, both Scana City and the Alchemy Nation need to boost their morale, and they both need a new look and a new look!" Rest assured, we've already experienced it once, and the last time was when the Swinging Spaceship lifted off! ”
"It turns out that I still have leftovers!" Higg laughed again.
"It's okay to be serious, this is the altar worship, and the people of the entire alchemy country are staring at us!" Nicole seemed a little annoyed.
……
Unexpectedly, the road was not far or close, and after walking for more than an hour, I arrived at the location where the high platform was set up.
The sealing platform was set up at the bottom of the swinging spaceship, and Higg looked up at the swinging spaceship, thinking that it was a fresh object, but it made him almost burst out laughing, isn't that the Noah airship, and it will be called the Noah spaceship if it is changed to a name?
But it was very strange that the spaceship had been floating high above, just shaking slightly, and not drifting away with the wind, nor any ropes connected to the ground, and Higg wondered why this thing didn't fly away, and what force had been maintained in this state?
Hey, why do you want to do so much, if the Swinging Flying Ship doesn't have a bright spot, can it be regarded as the ultimate treasure of the Alchemy Country? Higg didn't know that this swinging spaceship was actually an ultimate watchtower, as long as the alchemy country was willing, anything that was happening in the world could be collected on top of the watchtower, such as the fifth legion of Alasia was fighting with Arad, how many troops were invested by both sides, where to fight, what kind of marching strategy they had, how to win or lose, etc., can be collected, it is a veritable spy ship, integrating all the high-tech achievements of the alchemy country, his appearance, It originally represented the reappearance of the highly developed science and technology of the Alchemy Country, inspiring the confidence of the Alchemy people and giving people a sense of security.
Although the journey is only a little more than an hour, but the line is too long, Higg and Nicole arrived at the stage of the general, when the three salutes sounded again, it is estimated that the phalanx of the army has just come out of the magic guild not long ago, and when they arrive at the scene, some people can have a place to sit, and the people who can really sit are only the members of the royal family, the members of the clan and other representatives who are over seventy years old, and others including marshals and admirals, important members of the court, representatives of parliamentarians, etc., can only stand in a phalanx in front of the generals.
Arrange seating, arrange a queue phalanx, organize the evacuation of some citizens who have already occupied the planned position, and so on, as soon as it is tossed, three or four hours will pass, and it will be close to noon.
Some arrangements have not yet been put in place, and the ceremonial officer can't wait, because the auspicious time waits for no one. The first to recite the sacrificial text on stage was the white-robed shaman of the Magic Guild, this is the highest level of shaman, there are very few in the alchemy country, and the white-robed shaman is a gray-robed shaman, a black-robed priest, etc., which is not listed here.
In front of the huge furnace, he burned incense and prayed, and then muttered a sacrifice that he could not understand at all in front of the high feudal platform, and his expression was focused and extremely devoted.
After more than half an hour, everyone who listened was almost asleep, and the white-robed priest finished his recitation of the sacrificial text with great satisfaction, and then threw the sacrificial text into the furnace and burned it, and then grabbed a handful of the burned sacrificial text from the furnace, put it into an altar, and shook the altar a few times. No one knew whether the jar was filled with wine or water, and then the priest held the jar in his left hand, walked up to Higg, and dipped it from the jar with a magic wand or something like that in his right hand, and sprinkled the water or wine on Higg, and then Nicole, and then Ainsey, and the queen, in short, only those who sat down were eligible for the gospel blessings of the gods, and every time the priest came to a person, no matter what his status, he had to stand up and receive the blessings, and finally, Symbolically, it was sprinkled on people of lower status in the rear, even citizens, and even if it was over.
As soon as the white-robed shaman's affairs seemed to be over, he began to bring up all kinds of sacrifices behind him, all kinds of rare and exotic beasts, birds that he had never seen before, in short, their charred corpses, plus rare and exotic fruits, fine wine, delicacies, five-colored rice, etc., all of which were for the so-called gods to enjoy, and Higg didn't know if that guy could finish eating, and if he couldn't finish eating, would he ask him to help pack them......
At noon, the real altar worship will begin.
Higg and Nicole continued to walk hand in hand to the top of the forty or fifty-meter-high Sealing Commander's Platform, followed by Ainsey and the Queen, followed by more than a dozen Xuanjia guards, the white-robed shaman who was already waiting on the high platform.
These people on the platform seem to be the people closest to the heavens and the closest to the gods.
Divine Mandate, naturally what really gave Hig the title of general was the white-robed shaman who represented the gods and could communicate with the gods, whether it was Ainsey, Queen or Nicole, these noble people were just assisting or observing on the side as witnesses.
The sky was getting darker, darker, darker......
It seems that the magicians of the Alchemy Kingdom have calculated very accurately, and at noon today, there is really a tengu eclipse day. The sky used to be clear, but now it is dark, and the sun in the sky is gradually disappearing......
After the nine cannon salutes, the drums sounded, as if to drive away the tengu who were eating the sun, and as if to welcome their gods; Several white-robed shamans and more than twenty gray-robed shamans sang an ode under the Fengjiang platform, singing loudly but incomprehensibly, in language, and even babbling with the most interjections......
The ceremony began, and all the people stood up and looked up at the high platform......
The sky was finally completely dark, there was no light, and the four corners of the Fengjiang platform suddenly lit up four pillars of fire, illuminating the entire Fengjiangtai table, and the entire Fengjiangtai scene, only there was a bright light, which attracted everyone's attention there.
The white-robed priest continued to recite the prayer, but this time it was much shorter, and when he was done, he burned the prayer and sprinkled some of the ashes of the burned sacrifice on the top of Higg's head.
Ainsey took the Titan Greatsword from the Xuanjia guard, held it in both hands, walked to the white-robed shaman, respectfully handed the Titan Greatsword to the white-robed shaman, the white-robed shaman took the giant sword, chanted the words in his mouth, and then walked to Higg, the words in his mouth were not broken, and his eyes motioned for Hig to kneel down to receive the sword......
Higg didn't dare to be casual, knelt down on one knee, put his hands in front of him, spread his palms upward, raised them above his head, and bowed his head respectfully......
The white-robed shaman, who continued to chant the words in his mouth, placed the Titan Greatsword flat on Higg's hands with both hands, and then closed Higg's hands......
Higg stood up, his sword in hand, facing the audience, to the edge of the high platform, looking at the tall snow-capped mountains in the distance, which were not covered in darkness......
Ainsey, the Queen, Nicole, and the white-robed priest bowed, all the guards around them knelt, those who had seats under the altar bowed, those who did not have seats, nobles, court dignitaries, and members of parliament bowed, and all the troops, including marshals, admirals, generals, and soldiers, all bowed, and the citizens did not care, they did whatever they wanted, but the vast majority of them knelt on the ground, some bowed, and a very few paid attention......
"General!" The white-robed shaman shouted first.
"General!" Ainsey, the Queen, Nicole, and all the Darkarmor guards on the stage also shouted......
Bang bang bang...... A cannon salute rang out, and fireworks burst into the air...... Under this dark sky, it looks extremely colorful......
