Towards noon, the ceremony officially began.

As the people of the outer city gradually took to the streets, the troops stationed in various parts of the streets became nervous. However, because Eudora had divided the area in advance to prevent people from stampede, the crowd was not too dense.

In fact, this is also related to the "temple" in the distance - with the assistance of the dragon clan, the cone-shaped "temple" stacked into the sky has reached an astonishing height of 220 meters, which can no longer be said to be a "temple", but a "tower of Babel".

The height of the Pyramid of Khufu is 146 meters, and the top platform of the current Marhalla Temple is only a few dozen meters away from the floating city of Hovira. Luo Di remembers that the observation deck of the CCTV Tower is about 200 meters high, in other words... Such a tall building stands out in the modern city, not to mention in the country of Eskar, where most buildings have only one floor.

Therefore, people who walk on the streets of the outer city can look up a little to see the magnificent temple that is almost towering into the sky.

Not to mention Dise City, even the villagers who live in the village dozens of kilometers away can clearly see the huge buildings standing on the horizon.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an out-and-out "miracle", because at a glance you know that "human beings cannot do it", so that the heart worships and awe, and before the ceremony begins, many people have already bowed and bowed in the direction of the temple when praying in the morning and evening.

At this moment, a violent wave of magic and golden light flickered, and with the help of the dragons, the Windsor priestess began to read aloud the "speech" that had been prepared long ago in her gentle voice.

The reason why Windsor presided over the meeting was because she was the most "commoner" among the old powers of the Eskar Nation except for Her Majesty Taria - and as she declared her identity, the people in the city really pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

In order to make people within a few kilometers as much as possible of what Talia is saying, the dragon's "amplification technique" is no longer simply amplifying sound, but through the pre-established magic circle to play synchronously throughout the city, this technology is actually similar to "broadcasting", but people are not aware of the real role of these magic circles at present, they just see from a distance that there is a figure standing in front of the top of the temple with a golden halo...

Even though Windsor looks like an ant-sized black spot from such a distance, it is the first time that an "individual" can be displayed directly in front of all the inhabitants of a city, and its symbolism is not the same as the feeling of crowding in front of the temple in the temple festivals of the past.

Windsor logically recounts the battle that took place a week ago, explaining Talia's initiative to attract demons to descend as "the demons tried to corrupt the temple and succeeded, and His Majesty and the priest's troops died heroically in the battle" - and then she didn't mention the dragons' contribution at all, attributing all the credit to "the return of the great power of Tabris" and "the arrival of the Priest of Anda"...

In fact, the people did not care what the truth was, they preferred to hear what they wanted to hear: the people who had experienced the healing of their wounds by divine power were thrilled to learn that it was the gods who had saved them from the envelope day and night.

And the people who had already been arranged all over the city were chanting the name of "Tablis" at this time, and when they heard these words, people couldn't help but shout along with them.

The Windsor priest listened to the cry of the waves, looked at the city buildings and the small figures of the people like miniature landscapes, swallowed hard, and turned his head to look at Sally and Roddy behind him.

"It's time to move on to the next step. ”

After Roddy said this, Sally nodded next to her, and slowly stepped forward, holding an ordinary wooden scepter in her hand - this was simply used for appearance. But after the scepter was raised, the vast divine power that suddenly emanated could not be concealed.

The huge golden aura suddenly spread, and soon there were waves of exclamations from below.

Immediately after, three huge snake shadows circled and flew through the light curtain.

These were not the three pit vipers of the "Pit Viper's Kiss", in fact, they were lying on the ground next to Sally at this time, and the hundreds of meters long phantom that appeared in the sky was actually an illusion released with the assistance of the three Crystal Dragon Elders below.

For ordinary people, there is no essential difference between illusion and divine magic, because from the very beginning, Windsor has already hinted that this is "the incarnation of Anda's sacrifice", so when three serpentine phantoms appeared in the sky, the people have collectively knelt on the ground and shouted loudly "The true god is above" and other words, among which the excited even cried bitterly, and their emotions were out of control...

The troops in charge of maintaining order in the streets suddenly felt the pressure at this moment, as many people shouted that they wanted to run towards the temple area, trying to get close to the "messenger of the gods" - but they were divided and did not make any waves, and were quickly stopped by heavily armed soldiers.

Sally released three divine spells into the sky in a row, and the golden circles of light that opened one after another condensed and did not disperse, spreading out in all directions for a long time before slowly disappearing, because the current climate was clear, and it could be seen clearly from dozens of kilometers away.

That's pretty much the end of the ceremony. Sally did not tell them her name or identity, because her appearance at this time was purely a "symbol" for people to worship.

Sally, who maintained a serious expression, did look like a god statue at this time, and the Windsor priest next to her looked at her a little distracted, but then she saw Sally shrug her shoulders and exhale, and turned around and said, "It should be over, right? When can I go back? It's too sunny here..."

She raised her hand to make a pergola, looked left and right, and lost her solemn appearance just now, more like a girl who had not grown up, and took two light steps back to Roddy's side.

The latter had just finished checking the description of the "Divine Mastery" skill, and confirmed that the "duration" shown on it was indeed growing.

This proved that his previous guess was correct: the more fanatical and numerous the believers, the greater the range and duration of the skills they could use.

Today's ceremony was brief but impressive, and the results were needless to say. And as long as this huge temple stands here, the believers will only become more and more religious.

He took Sally's hand and took two steps back, then motioned for Windsor to continue with the next step of speaking—the latter blinked, coughed, and quickly stepped forward to announce the change of power in the kingdom...

From this day on, there is no longer a "royal family" in the country of Esca, because the real "monarch" can only be "the messenger of Tablis", "the embodiment of the Anda sacrifice"... Sally I.

The "High Priest of the Temple" was held by Eudora because she was an early "convert" and did perform well. Windsor himself removed the position of high priest and simply followed Sally and became a "waiter".

This position sounds like no authority, but because it is a person close to the "Emperor", Windsor's future voice is likely to be much lighter than that of Udora, and this arrangement is not only a simple check and balance, but also to allow Sally and Roddy to understand the customs and trends of Eskar Country in more detail, so as to facilitate the adjustment of national policies in the future.

As for the people installed in other aspects, Windsor naturally didn't say much at this time, and when the speech was over, the shadows of the three giant snakes dissipated, but the people who knelt on the ground were reluctant to disperse for a long time, and even when night fell and Sally got on the transport plane and set off to return to the Cullen Kingdom, there were still countless people in the city who bowed to the temple and prayed...

And Roddy, who was standing on the edge of Hovira City, silently overlooked the sparkling city below, turned his head and said, "Turn on invisibility, let's get ready to go." ”
