Chapter 200: Hymn to the Goddess of Spring Water (I)
"I should be grateful to him, but I can't rest at ease with that kind of power in his hands......"
Hendrik sighed: "The identity of the outer ring mage is inevitably a little out of step with the development, and the identity of the head of the family must be obtained as soon as possible." Burning Library
He thought I was weak, and he actually had a heart for wooing me...... Hey, although it is said that heroes cherish heroes, I have sworn a long time ago that I will not be subservient. ”
As he spoke, his eyes had become firm and cold.
"It may be a bit rushed, but a genuine, elite of the best, is worth the risk!"
======================================================
Principality was founded in the year 982, on the first of May, the Feast of Glory.
The newly born nobles of the whole country, whether they inherited the family business or were newly crowned nobles, gathered on this day in the royal capital Brandon to be honored in the presence of the Grand Duke and the representatives of the Church.
On this day, a grand ceremony is also held, and it is one of the most lively festivals of the year.
Three hundred years ago, an archduke once said, "Let the nouveau riche remember the beauty and prosperity of Brandon, and let the people cheer for the royal family and all the nobles who owe it to it, this is all it." ”
The political overtones of this day are also very strong, because in order to be safe, a relatively standardized system has long been formed - although there are no mandatory rules on what clothes to wear and what hat to wear on the head as in ancient China, a set of rules has also been formed.
It stands to reason that there won't be much change.
In Aya's memory, there was a poet from a hundred years ago who left a relevant record - although it was unclear why there was such a thing in the library of His Highness Black Sun, and she actually wrote it down.
Therefore, she can say with certainty that this time today is definitely different from previous years.
Speaking of which, when Charlotte was studying at Brandon, she also saw a grand occasion of the May Day of Glory.
And her answer is also very certain: "I feel that this time is more grand and attentive than the last time I saw it...... Not to mention these decorations, you see that the cleanliness of this ground is already outrageous, even if you force the cleaners to stay up late, it is impossible to do so well, it must be with a spell to help!
Vicky didn't even reveal anything to me, if I knew that it was so grand today, even if I borrowed it, I would have to get a more beautiful outfit!"
Lormine automatically ignored Charlotte's complaint about Princess Victoria, and then thought about the previous few words.
Spells, although the cost of ordinary cleaning spells is not high, but it can't stand the use of this spell to clean up the entire area of Shangcheng City, and it is estimated that it will cost hundreds of gold coins alone.
Since you have to use spells to clean the streets, other places must spend more money.
The royal family of the principality is still relatively wealthy, so naturally it will not be able to afford this money, but it is also very strange to let the royal family pay such an extra amount of money.
Although it was still early, it was time to enter early, and many of the nobles who were to be present for the award had already climbed up, washed up, dressed up, and walked towards the square after breakfast.
That's right, just to go, in order to prevent possible confusion, most of the carriages were temporarily suspended by a letter from the Grand Duke, except for a few carriages with concessions, and if they were caught, they were fined and detained.
Walking down the street, there were acquaintances chatting with each other.
"Could it be that there will be a big man coming to watch the ceremony today?"
"I heard from my brother that he saw the messenger of the Land of Light, at least a bishop! Not only that, but there seems to be a bishop from the Frank kingdom who is the goddess of agriculture!"
Luo Ming's five senses are keen, and when he heard such a passage by chance, he became a lot of interest.
The so-called "Land of Light" is actually a common name, it is a small country completely ruled by the Church of the Lord of the Dawn, and the system of **** is directly implemented, and now the headquarters of the Church of the Dawn is there. It has a sacred but complex name, and most people are too lazy to remember or say it, so they refer to it as the Land of Light.
The kingdom of Frank is the root of the goddess of agriculture, where the church headquarters is located.
If this statement is true, then there are really a lot of big people...... But even so, you don't have to be so enthusiastic, right?
Unless the king of another country or the leader of a certain church comes here, it should not be necessary to change the established constitution, nor will it make the royal family pay an extra sum of money.
If such a superstar comes here, the vigilance measures will definitely be tightened, and notices will be posted in advance, and rumors will rise early. However, none of this happened.
With doubts in their stomachs, Luo Ming and the two girls walked towards the square in the center of the city.
He and Charlotte are both among the protagonists of today's ceremony, and although Granty can only be regarded as "a knight's servant" in terms of status, she still has the right to go to the ceremony - even citizens can pay a few symbolic copper coins to watch.
The so-called rejoicing with the people was originally a way for the royal family to increase their prestige.
At this time, Lockin happened to meet Hendrick again, although he was a little suspicious of him, but who didn't have some secrets? Lockin himself was one of the people who had the most secrets.
Since this is the case, he didn't have much vigilance, and directly greeted him and asked him to come and go together.
"Speaking of which, your dress doesn't look like you're going to the ceremony, but like you're going to the stage to receive the honor?" asked Charlotte curiously.
Luo Ming took a closer look, and sure enough, his clothes were a little too flashy.
"Maybe it's the gods, I became a Central Mage three days ago, my eldest brother is not in good health, and he knows that he can't compete with me, so he directly handed over the position of head of the family to me, and now I am the viscount.
It's an honor to be honored with both of you!"
Luo Ming wanted to ask if his eldest brother would "die of illness" in a year or two after handing over the position of head of the family, but he still couldn't bear to ask - what do you have to do with other people's family affairs?
Even if he really wants to assassinate his brother, it is just to fight for the inheritance - Luo Ming is not afraid of this, although killing his brother for the inheritance is not a bad thing, but it also means that it is a profitable crime, if there is no huge benefit to kill Luo Ming, Hendrick is very safe for himself.
As the four of them got closer to the square, their doubts grew.
There was a burst of music from the other side of the square...... It's not uncommon for big events to have bands or even choirs play live music in the background.
But this music is not ordinary music.
Whether it's singing skills or accompaniment, it's all secondary.
Even the tune that makes you want to hum along is nothing compared to the lyrics.
"Elena, Elena, goddess of springs.
The Great Mother of All Lothar!"
