Chapter 256: Rites of Passage
On the fourth day after the "Su Department" gathering, an extremely grand banquet was once again opened in the Yunbin Heavenly Palace.
Su Mu's coming-of-age ceremony was finally held in the most luxurious place on this side.
Compared to the very pure self-congregation four days ago, today's feast is undoubtedly more eye-catching, and it is also mixed with a chaotic variety of intentions.
Under the deliberate propaganda of the mainstream of the Federation, everyone now understands that Su Mu will inevitably be the star of the future.
So for this coming-of-age ceremony initiated by the princess of the empire for her fiancé, there are simply countless people who cheer for it.
The first to arrive here were undoubtedly Su Mu's mentor Lu Xi, the various seats of the Academy's Mystical Round Table, and the Academy Dean behind them, representing the entire Federation of Magic.
For Su Mu, who was born in the academy faction, the academy naturally supported him unconditionally.
And the people in the academy followed closely behind the upper-level children of the federation, represented by Avina and Jerome, who were more closely related to Su Mu and others.
Compared to the people in the academy, they only came because of Su Mu himself.
The federal nobles led by Avina and Jerome are obviously frequent visitors to the tea party in the princess's mansion, although they don't have much communication with Su Mu himself, but they are already familiar enough with Su Mu's fiancée Su Tong and the prince Su Can.
And in addition to the above two groups of guests, they will of course appear in this coming-of-age ceremony.
What is even more shocking now is that with the vigorous development of the Mystic Society, and the prosperity of the Alchemy Department affiliated to the Mysteries Society. At this time, the forces that came to celebrate not only included the three largest organizations on the mainland, but also almost all the famous consortiums of the Federation.
Although for now, Su Mu has only cooperated with the Trade Covenant among the various forces, as for the rest of the large forces, they have not been able to catch up with the development wave of the Mystical Society.
But now it seems that these large institutions and consortia, they undoubtedly do not care about the past barriers.
Now I just want to use the most practical actions to prove that there is still the possibility of cooperation between the two:
"The Trade Covenant Cloud Division, gifted His Excellency Su Mu three superb brocade leaf flowing suns, a large alchemy fountain, and twenty-three ancient magic books, congratulations to Your Excellency on entering adulthood. ”
"The Yunshang Branch of the Wanderers Union has given His Excellency Su Mu a pair of seven-grade medium armor and a full set of sixth-grade high-grade swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and congratulated His Excellency on entering adulthood. ”
"The Cloud Branch of the Hunter Guild has given His Excellency Su Mu eight high-level delusional beast Qi cores and twenty beast riding war horses, and He Xi has entered adulthood. ”
"The Federal Magellan Chamber of Commerce has given His Excellency Su Mu a feather leaf sixteen banquet to congratulate His Excellency on his coming of age. ”
"The Federal Drake Chamber of Commerce has given His Excellency Su Mu a Chinese-level domesticated delirium beast, and I congratulate Your Excellency on entering adulthood. ”
"The Federal Columbus Chamber of Commerce presents His Excellency Su Mu with a jade jade carving, congratulations to Your Excellency on entering adulthood. ”
"The Federal Kassel Chamber of Commerce has presented His Excellency Su Mu with a coral screen to congratulate His Excellency on his coming of age. ”
......
With the delivery of the valuable gifts, with the sincerity of the cooperation of each institution, even the upper-level children of the federal nobles in the audience still widened their eyes with envy after all.
These things that were served at this time have never been heard of by ordinary federal residents.
Even if it is the real upper class, there are still not many people who can really have it.
However, under the bombardment of all kinds of expensive gifts, the circle of luxurious lanterns around the banquet hall slowly dimmed at this time.
Then several beams of spotlights that complemented each other also converged on the guest of honor stage in the banquet hall.
Su Mu's coming-of-age ceremony has finally officially begun.
According to mainland practice, on the day of the new year, the eldest elder of the family usually presides over and begins the coming-of-age ceremony.
But Su Mu, who came here from another world, obviously did not have any family elders in this world.
Therefore, Su Mu simply started with his mentor, and directly invited his mentor Lu Xi, her former mentor, and now the dean of the college, Deng Shunlazy...... He presided over Su Mu's coming-of-age ceremony.
I saw that the dean of the academy under the light of the Qi lamp, Deng Shunla, just raised his right hand lightly and pressed it slowly, which had already made the originally noisy banquet hall quiet in an instant.
Deng Shunla, who has been the dean of the academy for many years, is naturally very accustomed to such occasions.
Now he looked calm, and calmly said to the guests:
"There are two kinds of people in the world...... The first is called followers, who are the real mainstream of the world, the force that personally drives the development of the world, and the other is called leaders, who cannot push the world forward on their own, but they can always show others the way forward. ”
"There is no doubt that Su Mu is this second type of person, a Mars who can light up the future of the Federation, and a companion who will accompany you to the prairie fire. ”
Deng Shunlath deserves to be a seasoned magic leader, although it is only a few words, but it is already a lot of praise...... It not only gave recognition to the federal "elites" in the field, but also highlighted Su Mu's special and necessary.
Then the light shrouded in Deng Shunla's laziness also gently shifted to the position beside him.
The real shine is on the ...... The body of Su Mu, the protagonist of the banquet.
Then, a silver mystical emblem symbolizing wisdom and maturity was also worn on Su Mu's chest by the dean Deng Shunla, the dean of the academy.
Although normally, what Su Mu needs to wear at this time is undoubtedly the family badge.
But as far as Su Mu is concerned, who has no family power, it is obviously a mysterious society that is famous in the mainland, and it is more suitable to be relied on behind Su Mu.
......
However, it was just that silver Mysteries badge that had just been lightly worn on Su Mu's chest.
A figure who walked out of the crowd so naturally stepped onto the guest of honor stage, and slowly came to the center under the shroud of Qi lanterns.
This man is ...... The diplomatic envoy of the Longtuo Empire stationed in the Federation, and Su Jin, the side of the empire!
And after Su Jin took the stage, he bowed to Su Mu and Deng Shunla, and at the same time, he also methodically turned to Su Tong on the side and said:
"Your Royal Highness Princess, when the Imperial Monarch heard the news that your fiancé was about to become an adult, he was grateful for the hardships of His Excellency Su Mu's life experience, and he also recognized the sincerity of your two feelings. Therefore, I have specially given an imperial family badge to His Royal Highness, please wear it for your fiancé!"
Su Jin's request seems to be so reasonable, and it also reflects Emperor Longtuo's recognition of Su Mu.
But it is obvious that the reason why Su Jin specially picked this matter at such a time and mentioned it in front of all the guests was undoubtedly not just to send this royal insignia.
Su Jin's real purpose at this time is, of course, for the extension of the future.
Sure enough, when Su Tong was in full view of everyone, he could only thank him and gently took the emblem for Su Mu to bring, Su Jin also said even more amazing information again:
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, Your Excellency Su Mu, the Imperial Monarch misses his only daughter very much, and he also wants to see your future husband with his own eyes. Now that His Excellency Su Mu is an adult, the emperor also hopes that the two will return to China as soon as possible to complete their marriage, so that this exotic relationship will become a beautiful conversation. ”
"Your Majesty has been looking forward to this day for a long time...... I just hope it comes soon!"
