Chapter 491: The Rite of the Holy Maiden (4)
The sedan chair came steadily to the front of the main square, and under the watchful eye, a knight respectfully stepped forward and gently lifted the curtain of the black sedan chair a little half.
A black foot slowly stepped out of the sedan chair.
The common people of the Thousand Holy Realms, including all the knights, wizards, maids, and others, all held their breath and quietly watched the scene in front of them. It was as if the slightest sound they made was a blasphemy against the situation. The scene was so quiet that it seemed as if a needle had dropped on the ground, and it could be heard clearly.
No one dared to make any moves.
Everyone was waiting for the king of their Thousand Holy Kingdoms to get down from the palanquin.
As one foot came out, the other appeared in front of everyone. A black hand slowly lifted the curtain in front of him, and a pure black figure appeared in front of everyone.
The man's tall and mighty figure was completely revealed in front of everyone's eyes after he landed. He was dressed in pure black, and there were several golden eagles inlaid on it, and the eagle has always been the most representative symbol of the Thousand Holy Kingdom. At a glance, you can see that this is the most noble king of the Thousand Holy Kingdoms.
And the moment the man appeared, all of them knelt down in unison in his direction, and at the same time put their right hand on their left chest, hung their heads, and shouted in their mouths: "See the Lord—"
All the people of the Thousand Holy Realms appeared here, and you can imagine how powerful it must have been when they shouted these words in unison. Their voices echoed throughout the main square for a long time.
Several elders had already risen from their chairs as soon as they saw the Lord, a little different from the rest of the common people. They knelt down and bowed respectfully.
In the entire Thousand Saints Kingdom, I am afraid that there are only a few elders who can have such an honor, and there is no need to kneel and bow in unison. Of course, there is another special being, which is the Holy Maiden.
Sheng Lan, who had been paying attention to the side of the saint, found that when the Lord appeared, the saint was still sitting in her palanquin without making a sound. Not to mention, to bow to the Lord. What's going on with her? Even the saints have to bow to the Lord. But this woman dared to be so bold and still sit firmly in the chair without any movement?!
Shenglan was almost a little incredulous about this move. Her right hand was still on her left chest, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Sheng Qing on the side, and glanced at him.
Sheng Qing was in the closest place to Sheng Lan, he quickly sensed what Sheng Lan meant, and glanced at the direction where the Holy Maiden was without a trace, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. But he glanced at Lord Shengbai, who was calm nearby, and finally didn't speak.
Sheng Lan just frowned when she looked at Sheng Qing, and then lowered her head again, couldn't help but glared at him with hatred, and then glared at the black sedan chair where the holy woman was, and lowered her head a little unwillingly.
Right now, it's clearly not a good time to speak.
And Sheng Zi, who was not far from Sheng Lan and Sheng Qing, naturally also noticed the small movements between the two people. He turned his head slightly sideways and looked in the direction of the holy woman's black sedan chair, and a trace of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.
Before the Lord spoke, these ordinary people naturally couldn't stand up casually. Only when the Lord has spoken will they be able to rise.
A man in a gorgeous costume stood beside the black sedan chair, wearing a golden hat on top of his head, echoing the golden eagle on his black clothes, looking noble. The hat concealed the man's appearance tightly, not like a few elders, and his face could be vaguely seen.
The hat in front of the man covered everything about him, and even his eyes couldn't see clearly.
Even so, no one dared to stare at a man blatantly. If you stare at the Lord like this, it is a blasphemy against him, a great disrespectful charge!
What's more, this is the king of their Thousand Holy Kingdoms, and it is naturally impossible for his face to be revealed casually. Even the king's people are not qualified to spy on the king's face.
For this matter, the people of the Thousand Holy Realms have never felt anything strange. Originally, in the Thousand Holy Countries, the people of the temple were all wearing hats, how could these noble people be able to snoop at will on them as ordinary people?
And in the Thousand Holy Countries, only the people of the temple can wear black clothes. Ordinary people can only wear white or gray clothes. If any of the common people were clothed in black, it would be a desecration of the temple and a condemnation. Therefore, for these ordinary people, being able to wear black clothes is their dream in this life.
Wearing black means that it is a great honor to be a member of the Temple, to be a knight! Look, this knight beside the Lord is still qualified to lift the curtain for their king!
That knight is not only envied by these ordinary people, but many knights of the same status as him are also red-eyed for this. For them, to be able to serve their King is the highest honor in itself!
The man looked at the person who was prostrate in front of him, saluting respectfully, and said lightly: "Get up, lonely subjects-" It was obviously just a faint sentence, and he even said it softly, but his voice made the people in the entire large square hear it clearly.
The man's voice carried a hint of coldness, but also a hint of invisible momentum, which made people can't help but want to surrender to him when they hear it. From the sound, it is impossible to hear how big the man really is, but it is certain that he is indeed the most noble and supreme king of the Thousand Holy Kingdoms.
"Yes!"
Hearing the voice of the Lord, excitement appeared in the eyes of the common people, this is their king! The king, whom they had been loyal to all their lives, spoke to them!
All the people got up from the ground.
Perhaps only a few people, including Sheng Lan and others, would notice that the Holy Maiden did not come out of the black sedan chair. Not to mention, to bow to the Lord.
Now that everyone has stood up, some people subconsciously look in the direction of the saint, after all, she is the protagonist of the saint's ceremony today. But at this moment, many people found out that the saint was still sitting in a black sedan chair, without the slightest movement!
Didn't she bow to the Lord? You know, it is a great disrespect to the king not to bow to their king. Has this holy woman been so bold before she has passed the instructions of the altar?
Some ordinary people looked at the black sedan chair of the saint in horror. Isn't the saint afraid of the wrath of the Lord when she did this?
At this moment, the children of the Temple, their Lord, had slowly moved to their place. After standing in the main seat, he looked at the large square, looked around, and then slowly sat down. Every movement of his is full of vigor, which is impossible to ignore. If it is a person with a weaker psychological quality who is closer to him, I am afraid that he will already be intimidated by his momentum.
Although the Lord did not deliberately exude his momentum, at the same time, he did not restrain his momentum. Therefore, people who are closer to him can really feel all this.
The moment the Holy Blue walked over to the Lord, his eyes were already full of admiration and reverence. This is their Lord! Sure enough, from beginning to end, it was as perfect as a god.
At the same time, for the saintess who has not yet appeared, Shenglan's heart is even more disgusted. This hasn't become a saint yet, it's already so rude, I really don't know what to say!
Didn't the Lord notice all this?
Sheng Lan opened her mouth slightly, and wanted to complain to the Lord immediately, but the Holy Maiden did not salute him at all, which was a great disrespect to him. However, Saint Lan's body moved slightly, and a hand stretched out next to her, blocking her movements.
Sheng Lan looked over with some dissatisfaction and met Sheng Qing's eyes. Sheng Qing shook his head at her without a trace, signaling her not to make any moves at the moment.
For Shengqing, Shenglan has always been very trusting. Therefore, although she was still very unhappy when Sheng Qing acted like this, at the moment, if she spoke, it would not be beneficial to her.
Therefore, Shenglan's mind finally cleared up. She quickly sat back in her chair and didn't move any more.
Sheng Zi next to her couldn't help but glance at her again.
Sheng Qing watched Sheng Lan retract his movements, and exhaled slightly in his heart. Although on weekdays, his temperament is also very impulsive and reckless among the elders. But the girl Shenglan, when facing the saint and the Lord, is always so easy to lose her mind.
If she comes forward now and speaks ill of the Holy Maiden, if she angers the Lord, in the end, the gain will outweigh the loss. He and Shenglan are now grasshoppers on the same rope, so naturally they can't watch her mess around.
After all, the Lord is not something for these people to speculate at will. No one knows the mind of the Lord.
The Lord didn't seem to care at all about the fact that the Holy Maiden didn't appear. After he sat down, he looked in the direction of Lord Shengbai.
After feeling the Lord's gaze, Sheng Bai quickly stood up, cleared his throat, and shouted: "The Lord has arrived, and the Holy Maiden Ceremony is about to begin—"
Hearing Lord Shengbai say this, everyone couldn't help but perk up and looked in the direction of the altar. This time the Holy Maiden ceremony, they have been looking forward to it for a long time.
The Holy Maiden, is it finally about to appear?
All the people held their breath and looked at the black sedan chair.
After Lord Shengbai spoke, one of the maids closest to the black sedan chair immediately stepped forward and gently lifted the black curtain.
Unlike the Lord, a snow-white hand was the first to appear in the eyes of everyone. However, except for the fingers, the entire arm of the saint is black veil.
Immediately afterwards, the whole body of the saint slowly came out of the sedan chair. She was dressed in a black gauze skirt and had a pure black hood on her head, the color of which was exactly the same as that of the Lord, and just looking at it made her feel that the two were very compatible.
The slender figure of the saint was completely revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
She had a pair of beautiful eyes and looked around slowly. Even if her appearance is not very real, everyone can feel that this holy woman must be captivating to the country!
After the saint stood up, under the guidance of the witch, she slowly walked in the direction of the altar.
The Holy Maiden Ceremony is finally about to begin—
