Chapter 661: Festival!
Chapter 661 Day!
"Gaia?"
I looked at the pale blue figure in front of me in amazement, and the latter smiled at me gently: "See you again, Your Majesty." β
"You can leave your home planet?"
Gaia's sudden appearance here surprised me, but it was more of a surprise, for some reason, Gaia was conceptually fixed in the deep crust of the home star, and usually can only appear in the form of a translucent phanther in the outside world, and cannot leave the atmosphere of the home star for more than fifteen kilometers, this is not something that can be solved by technical means, so Gaia's absence from this festival celebration has become a big regret, but now it seems: Gaia has found a solution?
I reached out to touch the girl I had first known to be Chilling, to confirm her reality, but my fingers ran easily across her cheek: it didn't feel anything, it was just a shadow.
"It's a pity, my majesty," Gaia smiled apologetically, "I died in an accident millions of years ago, and now I'm just the soul of a planet, and this conceptual death can't be remedied by technical means, and it's a miracle to be able to keep a soul shadow." β
"What is standing in front of you now is nothing more than an image created by the holographic projection system in the square, and I have also built a huge virtual set on my home planet, and now I see exactly what you see. You can't touch it, but you guess you're participating in a festival. β
Gaia smiled indifferently, obviously satisfied with this result.
I was stunned, and I could only shake my head helplessly, on the distant home planet, the lonely girl could only chat with the illusory images around her for comfort, and this kind of festival was too bleak.
"It's all the same for me, I'm just a shadow anyway," Gaia smiled nonchalantly, turning her gaze to the giant monuments floating in the air and looping documentaries, "It's more important than that." Your Majesty, the long night is about to pass, and you have brought the dawn to the Empire, and this festival is the first light of dawn. β
I suddenly blushed: "Ahem, the empire has indeed recovered a little, but Dawn is still exaggerated - don't praise me, I'm easy to be proud." β
"In fact, Gaia sees this celebration as a milestone in the Empire's recovery, as we have finally re-established our authority in the Void, resumed formal communication with the Protoss, and destroyed one of the Fallen's greatest plots, all under your leadership."
I made Gaia stunned for a moment, and then scratched my hair and thought: It seems that this is really the case!
But for Mao, I feel like I have nothing to do with myself? Could it be that the mentality of eating and waiting for death for too long has caused me to ignore my own sense of existence?
Gaia watched the expression on my face scroll through the screen, she was not affected by some kind of undisciplined aura, of course she didn't know how the carriage was running in the mind of the person in front of Lu Dao, she just looked at the "monument" in the square thoughtfully, and then whispered: "Perhaps, this place should establish a ...... between you and Your Majesty Sandora"
"Don't mind!" I immediately came back to my senses, "Don't you think it's a very unsightly thing to put a foodie and an unemployed young man in such a solemn place?" β
Gaia: "......"
I looked at the unexplained consciousness of the mother planet in a daze, and said depressedly: "It's been a long time since I have spoken normal words to normal people, and I am a little unaccustomed to ......"
The word "nlding" suddenly appeared on Gaia's head: Hey! Does the projection system still have this murderous function?
One of the few remaining girls in the Empire who hasn't been tainted by the aura of undisciplined aura, Gaia, you still don't know how terrible it is for Lu Dao to be with the current leaders of the Empire, do you?
After saying goodbye to Gaia, who was planning to walk around the Shadow City, I continued to walk around the assembly hall under renovation, and then went home: it seems that everyone is preparing for tomorrow's opening ceremony, and although I don't have anything to do, I should be able to find some comfort in my conscience if I pretend to go home and memorize the speech, right?
The next day.
After nearly a month of preparing with the super efficiency of the Imperial people, mobilizing unprecedented teams of all ethnic groups, and actively preparing for the current carnival, today is finally about to begin.
β¦β¦ A certain head of state, who had not been playing with the little bubbles until last night, was ...... at half past three this morning Insomnia.
"Hey, stupid human, you can't be nervous, are you?"
In the preparation room, a goth doll who was being held by my sister to comb her hair glanced at me and said with a grin.
It's 7:20 a.m., and in 10 minutes, the carnival will officially begin, and as a signal to start, Sandora and I are going to give speeches.
As for what to choose for the Sho, it starts at half past seven in the morning...... Okay, this is a shallow idea, she set the point according to the time of early self-study in junior high school, the leaders of the second middle school in the city, you won.
"Cut, I haven't seen a big scene."
I flicked it on the head of the mercury lamp, and my sister, who was carefully combing the little one's hair, lifted the comb and hit it on my head.
"But it feels like it's been a long time since you've talked about something normal in a normal place," Mercury Lamp shook his head like a little adult, "I'm so worried about you......"
"Uh-huh~~~" Although I don't understand, it seems that the little bubble next to me also thinks that the mercury lamp is very powerful.
Damn, isn't it just a little undisciplined! Why are you coaxing even the little bubbles!
Also, I have to wear this unlucky military dress with at least forty-five decorations even if I have a button, and I have to train for half an hour to even tie a button, and the ribbon alone involves twenty-seven symbolic meanings, and even the saber has at least forty-five decorations?! This kind of thing with a market price of more than thirty dollars doesn't fit my style at all, damn it!
Tossing the hard metal crest near my neck very awkwardly, I showed a pleading expression to Sandora next to me, and everything else was acceptable, except for this thing: please consider the physiology of carbon-based creatures! Not everyone is accustomed to having a sharp titanium blade on the artery at all times!
Sandora was standing next to me, the queen called ~ brain] to visit O Tian is also a formal dress, she is wearing a solemn navy blue big turn-up leader dress, the style of the women's dress is like a combination of a trench coat and a skirt, it seems to be more troublesome than my outfit, the girl's big golden spiral hair is draped behind her back at will, although there is no decoration but with this Ling Ran's momentum, coupled with the golden ribbon and royal badge on her chest, my queen looks more graceful and luxurious than ever at the moment.
I don't see the feeling of a foodie at all.
"Ah Jun, bear with me," the blonde girl came over with a faint smile and gently helped me straighten my neckline...... Blade, "This military dress is of great significance in the imperial ceremony, especially these two blades that are always against the throat of the FΓΌhrer, and they are one of the few items that are strictly required in the legal code of the Xiling Empire, today's opening ceremony is too important, so try to get used to it, you can take it off after the speech." β
β¦β¦ You said that the Apostle of Hiling obviously didn't care about anything, why did he pay so much attention to military etiquette?
"Hehe, we're still lucky," Lin Xue, who also changed into a military uniform, but was simpler than me and Sandora, squeezed her eyebrows and touched the shallow next to her, "I'm wearing this handsome?" β
I suddenly felt that it was a bit too dangerous to let this guy attend the opening ceremony as the same as the mother of Xiling? I always felt like she would kick the head of state off the stage at a critical moment in my speech.
While my mind was spinning around with such and such ulterior thoughts, the image of Sives suddenly appeared in the preparation room.
"Your Majesty, several master mothers, the time is up."
According to the requirements of the ceremony, the people who will be present include me and the two emperors, Shandora, as well as the "master mother-level" apostles including Asahara and my sister, and then the top ten generals in the current imperial commanders, such as Pandora and Viska at the level of great generals, and Sivis at the level of lieutenant generals.
It's very unfortunate that Sicaro's old bastard counts too: Ya is still a lieutenant general! I used to think he was a pirate boss!
The lifting platform was activated in the sound of "Zizi" energy, and the leader who carried the highest authority of the empire slowly rose in a vertical passage, the circular bright spot that served as the exit of the passage quickly amplified in sight, and soon, we passed through the sonic barrier, and the boiling sound outside suddenly filled everyone's ears.
The "podium" is a tall tower set up in front of the totem area of the assembly hall, this nearly 100-meter-high building is tilted nearly 30 degrees in front of the front, so that the head of state on the tower platform can be displayed in front of the eyes of more people as much as possible, when the ground in front of me slowly descends, and the leaders of the empire appear on the platform, a cheer from below almost lifts me out.
Anyway, Jingle Bell was really lifted out: after an inaudible exclamation in my ears, I couldn't see the goddess who had been full of momentum to shine at the opening ceremony a few minutes ago.
It's a sea of people.
Standing at the front of the platform, I glanced around, and my scalp suddenly tingled: it's not that I've never seen a crowded scene, but it's the first time I've seen so many people watching me neatly, and there are at least 100,000 people gathered in this square, right? The dense attention ceremony below, you can't be scared and cry on the spot if you come over with a poor psychological quality?
And this is just one of many squares, how many people are gathered in other square areas of the assembly venue, and even in the assembly halls of other worldly circles? Being able to call so many people together to play with them is really weak compared to the original creative proposer of Asami!
Countless huge projection images filled the sky the moment the leaders appeared on the platform, and as far as the eye could see, there would be a floating screen in the sky of Shadow City every kilometer, broadcasting everything here in real time, even every billboard on the streets of Shadow City, every glass curtain wall, every billboard in the Martian Vault, every crystal ball and moon well in the world of Azeroth, all of which were broadcast at the same time.
I'm 100% sure that at least half of the hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes staring at these images are asking questions like this: "Who is the on-site staff on the rostrum who led a group of girls out to the sun?" β
β¦β¦ Oops, I was complained about too much by Lilina in the morning because of this topic, and now I am a little out of thinking.
But I'm absolutely sure that there must be some of those newcomers who have just joined the world and have never seen the true face of the head of the empire!
Although the sea of people below was a little stimulated at first, fortunately, I can more or less be regarded as the master who has eaten and seen, and the bloody rain and wind of the sword mountain and the sea of fire have come all the way, what scene can scare us? After componing down, Sandora and I waved at the dense crowd under the tower at the same time, and after a short cheer, the audience fell silent.
"Welcome, friends from all worlds," Sandora pressed the speaking role me, and at this time she could only catch the ducks on the shelves, using a vulgar opening line to lead the conversation, "Welcome to Shadow City, welcome to Azeroth, welcome to Martian home."
Today, for many people, it may be an unforgettable day, you come from thousands of worlds far, from all races from different worlds, but today you are gathered together to celebrate in the glory of the empire, as brothers and sisters.
There may be many people here who do not know the empire, nor do they know the strangers around you, and they do not know the meaning of the totems in this square, but I believe that after this carnival, everyone will have a new understanding of the empire, a deep understanding of the big family they have joined, and a deeper affection for their brothers and sisters......
β¦β¦ The Empire is all about efficiency, and I can see in your eyes the anticipation of the carnival celebrations, and perhaps a few of your friends who are tired of the emperor chattering in front of you on the tower, so let your friends feel everything I just said in the carnival - I declare, Carnival, start now!! β
This is really an unprecedented short speech, especially when the speaker is still such a big leader, everyone knows what the habits of the guys who spoke at the opening ceremony of the Dao Dao, and the guys who can't wait to talk from the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony, where is there this kind of three or two minutes to finish the matter? Originally, there were already suspicious elements selling peanuts and melon seeds in strings, but my speech came to an abrupt end in the middle of the middle! And standing behind me, it seems that the big leaders who should show up one by one to add two sentences have not spoken!
So, all the people were stunned, the melon seed sellers were also stunned, and the two soda sellers were angry.
After two seconds of stunnedness, there was an earth-shattering cheer full of joy, and it was clear that this simple opening speech was what they liked the most.
With a stiff smile on my face, I turned around calmly and followed the girl team behind me from an angle that no one else could see.
Miss Lin suddenly became furious: "You really remembered two natural paragraphs and memorized three sentences wrong!" β
β¦β¦ That's the real reason for the brevity of the speech just now, the original version of Nima's speech is a full thirteen pages!
"Miss Ben didn't sleep all night to write this wood for you! Just to make your image a little redeemable in front of the people," in the face of my sorry smirk, Miss Lin didn't seem to be going to buy it at all, "but you ......"
"Sister Lin Xue, please look here!" A live broadcast reporter who jumped out of nowhere suddenly ran over with a camera device as big as his body, and screamed softly at Lin Xue.
The eldest lady immediately turned her head, with a smile on her face: "Eggplant~~"
The live broadcast reporter ran away with the mercury lamp clicking, and when Miss Lin turned her head, her face had already switched to a fierce look in seconds: "Wood, you big fool!" The fruits of a night's labor! β
Can anyone tell me what that moment of God switching was going on?! Do all the ladies in the world need this skill?
To be honest, when I decisively forgot the words just now, I knew that Lin Xue would definitely go away, but I didn't expect her to be so resentful, but think about it, what girl doesn't want her boyfriend to be majestic outside? Although this theory is applied to me and Lin Xue is a strange sense of disobedience, but the basic principle is still universal, Lin Xue wants to let her speech help me build prestige in front of the people, but unfortunately, I memorized two natural paragraphs and forgot the words.
But the wood you keep saying is already the head of the Empire, and you still want me to be majestic!
"I think Jun did a good job," Sandora tugged at my arm, "The Apostle of Xiling's speech was supposed to be like this, we advocate simplicity and efficiency, and speeches that exceed six natural paragraphs are guilty!" β
Our sophomore class teacher should have your awareness, and I and Qianqian He Chou were punished for sleeping every time the class meeting!
In short, just as we were enjoying our family, a golden light suddenly pierced the sky, and then, the whole square boiled as we expected: "Horizon! Look at the sky! Sun! Golden Sun!! β
Countless people exclaimed, looking up at the sky in unison, they were told that there would be a surprise official performance at the opening ceremony of the carnival, but the exact content was only known to a few people, and now, they saw the first scene of this surprise:
A huge golden sun wheel is slowly rising from the other end of the square!
Dazzling but not dazzling, strong but not scorching, the magnificent golden light swept through the entire assembly hall in an instant, and the holy energy filled everyone's body and mind, and there were priests from the magical plane, who suddenly woke up after the first few seconds of sluggishness: this sun is pure holy light!
The glorious structure of the Holy Light was so large that when it was in the middle of the sky, it covered almost a fifth of the dome, and everyone could feel the warmth and uplifting power of this round of holy daysβexcept for the Undercity phalanx, where the undead wearing big sunglasses, masks, hats, and cloaks were now depressed......
And those with sharper eyes can faintly see a figure from the brilliant light curtain, a figure tied up by five flowers, a figure dropped on the tail by a two-headed dragon like a zongzi, and a ...... The figure of the bitter force.
"For our opening ceremony, she didn't hesitate to tie up her brother and hang it in the sky, Monina really killed her relatives in righteousness."
Our group of unscrupulous imperial leaders stood on the viewing platform and watched the day of holy light in the sky, and the dark goddess girl next to her was moved while eating potato chips: "Yes, it is so touching that my brother who knows the righteousness can radiate light and heat for everyone in this way...... Uncle Kese, I'll trade potato chips for your shrimp crackers! β
"Very good, very good......" RO
