Chapter 47: Coronation
It was a ceremony that was not extravagant but pleasing to the eye.
On a square covering a vast area, all paved with stone slabs, and several square kilometers, a large army formation was arrayed here, and drills were carried out with the orders of the commanding officer.
After seeing the military array below, the guests who were invited to participate in the military parade before the departure on the 100-meter-high platform all took a deep breath.
This is both a coronation ceremony for the king of the Stormwind Kingdom and a way to show his strength.
At the same time, amid the shouts of the troops, a large number of civilians who had been crowded on the edge of the square, waiting for the coronation ceremony to begin, also blushed their cheeks, raised their heads excitedly, nodded their toes, and probed their brains to look inside.
"Daddy, those are the Unsullied. A little boy sitting on his father's head shouted as he watched the neat formation.
"Not exactly, only the middle one is the Unsullied, and nothing else. Hearing his son's childish voice, the father smiled and pointed to the black army not far away, "Your uncle joined the king's army a month ago, and is now standing inside. ”
"Uncle was fantastic. The little boy was about to say something, but was overshadowed by the sudden cheers around him.
"Look, Your Majesty is out!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"God bless my king!"
Amid the cheers, Ma Shen, who had finished his preparations, slowly walked out of the Great Pyramid surrounded by his attendants.
"This... Why does this king look familiar?!" A tall, well-proportioned, handsome knight in silver armor stared at the new king in the cheering crowd, and in the other direction, a mercenary with a broken arm looked at the new king in the same daze.
Of course, since these two people are mixed in with the crowd, they are not at all conspicuous.
"That's a lot of people. As the object of cheering, Ma Shen only felt that the moment he walked out, the crowd below let out cheers like a mountain and a tsunami, and his ears were full of cheers, looking around, countless people were shouting for themselves, which felt a little similar to the shouts of the King's Landing in the martial arts competition, but it was a little different.
The corners of Ma Shen's mouth, who was dressed in a white and gold-rimmed gorgeous costume, suddenly found that he didn't seem to hate this feeling of being in the limelight, and even indulged in it a little.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live His Majesty!!"
"Long live His Majesty the King!!"
The national anthem sounded, and as Ma Shen entered, the soldiers in the square stopped their drills, and knelt down in the direction of the new king one by one according to the array.
Walking through the huge military formation, the next thing that appeared in front of Ma Shen was a bright red and noble red fluffy carpet.
On both sides of this red carpet, there were two rows of strong samurai dressed in ornate armor and holding three-meter spears standing neatly, only to see them face to face and raise their spears diagonally into the air, the tip of the spear just intersecting the spear of the samurai opposite, like a straight long snake.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
As soon as Ma Shen stepped on this red carpet, the outermost two samurai moved their spears away at the same time and pointed straight to the sky, and then the spear-wielding samurai on the sides of the two samurai also raised their spears neatly.
"Whether it's a storm or a snowstorm. ”
"Or the sun smiles for us. ”
"Hot day. ”
"Cold nights. ”
"Dusty faces. ”
"Fight for the glorious army!"
"Fight for freedom!"
"Fight for the King!"
。。。。。。。。。
Facing the singing, Ma Shen walked forward without changing his face, the spear moved away in front of him, and countless spears could not stop his pace, like a legendary hero.
At this moment, several thunderous and coercive roars rang out in the sky.
The little boy with red cheeks and staring at the armor on the samurai's body with wide eyes hurriedly looked into the air, but saw three powerful dragons roaring through the sky, subconsciously grabbed his father's hair, and screamed excitedly: "Dragon! It's a dragon!"
"Oops, let go!" The man who was almost caught bald by his own bear child grinned, looked up after removing the bear child's claws, and shouted in surprise, many people were rumored that His Majesty had three dragons, and they always thought it was a rumor, but they didn't expect it to be true. (Daenerys: This is my dragon!)
As they are in flight, the three dragons soar with their wings outstretched, their wings generating tremendous lift, propelling forward with each flap, occasionally using their wings to glide for a while.
Under the right conditions, dragons can glide for hours with minimal energy, and if they want to fly a long distance, they will usually look for an updraft, hover to a satisfactory height, and then glide from one updraft to another, and in this way, the dragon can quickly pass a very long journey.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
At the roar of the dragon, the expressions of the envoys from the major city-states became solemn, some were surprised by the appearance of the extinct dragon, and some were panicked by the combat power represented behind the dragon.
Legend has it that a dragon is equivalent to 10,000 soldiers, which is an exaggeration, but it also shows the dragon's fighting power, and it seems that the attitude towards the new king will change a little later.
The soaring dragon didn't stay long, only circled a few times and didn't know where it had flown to, and everyone slowly turned their attention back to the next coronation ceremony of the king.
As time passed, Ma Shen had already walked through the army and the red carpet, and when he reached the high platform, not far from him stood an old man with a wrinkled face and a straight back.
The old man, Shakad, was the elder of Meereen's slave work and an acquaintance of Ma Shen, who would preside over the king's coronation today.
I saw him excitedly holding a tray in front of Ma Shen, and in the center of the tray a large amount of soft velvet was a brilliant crown of kings, and the huge blue diamond on it was extremely dazzling.
The skeleton of the crown is made of gold, decorated with red velvet on the outside, which is exposed on top of the gold skeleton and set with hundreds of white diamonds of the same size.
The crown was recently discovered from the treasure of a great lord who had been keeping it in an extremely strong chest, and it was only recently that the chest was finally opened.
This once again shows that once you lose the power to protect the treasure, then the strongest treasure chest is useless.
Smiling and nodding at Shakad, Ma Shen fell to one knee on the ground.
Kneeling on one knee facing the elder is a requirement of the ceremony and a sign of respect for the elder.
Looking at the new king in front of him, Shakad's hand holding the crown trembled a little, it was not afraid, it was all excitement, he had never thought that he would be able to bring the crown to the great new king in his life.
"From... From today. Shakad was sweating profusely and stumbling with excitement.
Ma Shen didn't urge, just raised his head and glanced at the old man encouragingly.
As if gaining strength from Ma Shen's eyes, Shakad's heart calmed down, he spoke much more fluently, and his hands no longer trembled.
"From today you will be crowned king, you will be our king. ”
"I'm honored. After Ma Shen finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly, and then his head was heavy, knowing that he had a crown on his head.
Use the Divine Technique: Rain of Life.
The crowd of onlookers in the distance was too far away to hear the old man's voice, but they could see the scene of the crown on the king's head.
Everyone saw that the moment the king put on the crown, the sky began to hesitate a little like a firefly.
These points of light fell on the people, and they were surprised to find that the wounds of the war had healed, and the diseases that had been old for many years seemed to dissipate in an instant, and the old people were rejuvenated.
Miracles. This is a miracle!
Rain of Life: A wide range of magic, eliminating all filth and diseases within the range of the rain of life, the range is determined by the energy consumed, exchange requirements: 1000 energy
Magic consumes mana, magic consumes energy, and the world of ice and fire is indeed worthy of the world that has descended from the middle demon and even the high demon world, and now with the recovery of magic power, various legendary magic is also manifested in the system store.
In the rain of life, the culprit Ma Shen stood with his head held high, his eyes shining brightly, and he made a declaration:
"I am the Earl of the Ancestral Wasteland, the Flame Master, the Champion Knight, the Wolf Slayer, the Undead, the Child of Nature, the Ruler of Astapor, the Liberator of the Slaves, and your King!"
"In ancient times, when the kings conquered the land, the crown on their heads was not based on violence, nor on the manipulation of power, but indeed on the basis of seeking the welfare and benefit of their people. It is their duty and responsibility to protect their people. ”
"Under the watchful eye of the gods, I promise that in this kingdom everyone has the right to marry and have children, the right to vacation, the right to receive a salary, no oppression, no slavery. ”
The sound of the heart echoed in everyone's ears.
Whether it was a soldier or a civilian, there was an indescribable heat in their eyes, and the cheers became more intense.
In the cheers, everyone respectfully knelt on one knee, and even the few remaining slave owners who were unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history and still tried to die when all the people around them knelt down to worship, what other choice was there except to kneel and worship.
"God bless my king!"
"God bless my king!"
"God bless my king!"
"My king!"
"The king, it's finally here!"
In the midst of the cheers, Ma Shen suddenly found that there was a mysterious and mysterious power surrounding his body, and then the virtual godhead in his mind began to clearly emerge and absorb this power.
Slowly, with the absorption of this power, the original only a small piece of the broken godhead made up for a corner, and then a stream of information poured into his heart, Ma Shen's eyes lit up, and he discovered a new function of the virtual godhead.
