Chapter 318: Award Ceremony (Part II)
Chapter 318 Award Ceremony (II)
With the guidance of the white-bearded old man, Liu Zhe and the others slowly walked in the corridor, and after a moment of walking, finally everyone passed through a huge door and came to a huge and spacious space.
The bright red carpet and the dim crystal chandelier presented in front of Liu Zhe a lobby with a length and width of more than two hundred meters.
There weren't too many people gathered in the huge hall, except for the members of the two academies, there were dozens of red-robed old men left, one of whom turned out to be Liu Zhe's acquaintance, and that person was the Yuno Mentor of the Lieyang Royal Academy.
Dozens of red-robed old men stood on both sides of the hall, and on the highest position in the center of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon robe sat up.
The middle-aged man has long golden hair, his appearance is about forty years old, he is sitting quietly in a high position at this time, his hands are gently leaning on the armrest, he is just sitting in the position, a supreme majesty is emanating, although the expression is not serious, but it is not angry and arrogant, it is a kind of king's aura.
If you take a closer look, you can notice that the middle-aged man in front of him looks a little similar to Benedict, no, to be correct, it should be said that Benedict's appearance is similar to the middle-aged man in front of him!
That's right, the person in front of you is the supreme ruler of the Sun Empire today, the biological father of Tali Benedict, Tully Ogden - Emperor Ogden!!
Liu Zhe quietly looked at the people on the stage, only to see that on the high platform, in addition to Emperor Ogden, there was also an old man with a ruddy face and a radiant expression standing next to him.
seemed to be aware of Liu Zhe's gaze, at this time the national teacher smiled at him, obviously recognized Liu Zhe's identity, although it was said that the national teacher had read countless people, but for this young man full of mystery, he still had a very deep impression in his heart.
Seeing Rex and Ryuzhe looking around without hesitation, Tae-sung's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he reminded, "Pay attention to etiquette, that lord is His Majesty Ogden, the seventeenth emperor of the current Sun Empire. It's just a one-sentence introduction, but it's enough!
"The Emperor of the Burning Sun Empire!" Liu Zhe's heart beat slowly, indeed, he did feel a transcendent and extraordinary momentum from the middle-aged man in front of him, but Liu Zhe never expected that the current emperor would appear in front of his eyes!
Yes, since he came to Lieyang Castle, Liu Zhe should have guessed that he might meet the emperor, maybe his consciousness has not kept up, for Liu Zhe, he thinks in his heart that he is really a little distant from the emperor of a country, and subconsciously thinks that he will not see each other with his own eyes.
Unconsciously, Liu Zhe's identity and status are indeed no longer ordinary, at least his current identity is a member of the champion team of the Imperial Competition, no matter where he goes, such an identity must be a talent that the major forces are vying for, and he is highly admired and respected by people!
With the arrival of everyone from the Heavenly Blessing Academy, Emperor Ogden's gaze couldn't help but linger on Liu Zhe and the others for a while, this is the team that defeated the champion team that had been winning for many years and defeated the team of the Burning Sun Royal Academy?
At a glance, Emperor Ogden's eyes were slightly puzzled, and he could see at a glance that the members of the Heavenly Blessing Academy were just a team composed of three tenth-level and two ninth-level, how could such a combination defeat the team of the Burning Sun Royal Academy, which was composed of all tenth-level magicians this year?
The Burning Sun Royal Academy, it is the royal family behind it, so Emperor Ogden is very aware of the level of his own academy, it is no exaggeration to say that today the Burning Sun Royal Academy sent five tenth-level magicians, however, in fact, the combat power that these five tenth-level magicians can exert is definitely comparable to ten tenth-level magicians!
In the face of such a strong lineup, it is puzzling how Tianyou Academy defeated it!
The doubts in his heart only appeared for a moment, and after quickly inspecting the people below, Emperor Ogden said in a deep and deep voice full of majesty, "Welcome to all of you, this emperor is very happy to be able to see you talented young people with his own eyes, and to see with his own eyes the mainstay of the future of the empire. The corners of his mouth outlined a shallow arc, and Emperor Ogden's tone was calm, revealing a faint smile.
The scene was silent, and as soon as Emperor Ogden spoke, no one dared to interject, and they lowered their heads slightly, waiting for Emperor Ogden to continue, even if it was Vice President Taicheng, he also gave the emperor enough respect at this time.
"According to the information that the emperor received, this year, something surprising happened. Emperor Ogden said to himself, and at this time he once again shifted his gaze to Liu Zhe and the others, and immediately said, "All of you from the Heavenly Blessing Academy, this emperor first wants to congratulate you, congratulations on winning the championship of this year's competition, and this honor will belong to each and every one of you. Taicheng bowed and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your congratulations." Seeing Tae-sung's actions, Ryu-cheol and the others also reacted, imitating Tae-sung's movements and speaking at the same time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your congratulations. A drop of cold sweat slipped down, and at this time, even Rex didn't dare to mess around at will, and his face tightened, and he was very comfortable.
Emperor Ogden said kindly: "There is no need to be like this, you are the protagonists today, show your self-confidence and hold your chests up. "......" Hearing what Emperor Ogden said, Benedict gritted his teeth, and his heart was depressed to death, today's honor originally belonged to them, to the Royal Academy of the Sun!
Especially Emperor Ogden is his biological father, he has had high hopes for himself since he was a child, and today he threw away the title with his own hands, Benedict was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to drill, if it weren't for the regulations to die, he would definitely not come today, he would not have come today, he would have no face to come!
......
After a few simple words, Emperor Ogden changed his words at this time, and went directly to the point, saying, "This emperor doesn't have much to say, let's get down to business today, and immediately hold the award ceremony of this Imperial Competition. The moment Emperor Ogden finished speaking, the three red-robed old men moved in vain, slowly walked up to the high platform from the steps on the right, and stood on the right hand side of Emperor Ogden.
At this time, the three red-robed old men raised their hands flat, each holding a huge trophy in their hands, a total of three trophies, these three trophies are made of rare refining gold, not only can be permanently preserved, not eroded and corrupted, the hardness is comparable to steel, and the degree of solidity is undoubted.
Pure gold, refined from gold, according to the degree of refining, can be divided into ten refining, one hundred refining, and one thousand refining, 10,000 grams of gold can refine one kilogram of ten refining gold, and one kilogram of ten refining gold can only be refined ten grams of 100 refining gold!
In other words, 10,000 grams of gold can only be refined into 10 grams of 100 refined gold, and the ratio is 1:100, of course, to refine 100 refined gold, not only a large amount of gold, but also a craftsman with excellent skills.
Just such a trophy costs at least one million gold coins to build!
For a behemoth like the Burning Sun Empire, a million gold coins is naturally nothing, compared to the cost of building a million gold coins, if you want to find a craftsman who can refine a hundred refining gold, that is the real test of a country's heritage, can refine a hundred refining gold, must be an alchemy master of other levels!
As Emperor Ogden announced the start of the award ceremony, the next process was very simple, at this time, the captains of the three colleges, according to Rex, Benedict, and the last was Jones, the three of them came to the stage one by one, listened to a few words of encouragement from Emperor Ogden, and finally took the trophy.
It didn't take long for Jones, who came to the stage at the least, also stepped down, and there was a huge gold trophy in his hand, but looking at the trophy in front of him at this time, Jones was not very happy, after all, they were second last year, but this year's ranking on the trophy became third, don't look at the ranking just dropped one, which is a big blow to the reputation of Helis College.
As the three captains took the trophy and stepped down, at the signal of Emperor Ogden, an old man in red robe stood up and announced in a loud voice, "The award ceremony is over, according to the usual practice, the first team can each receive a reward of 500,000 gold coins, as well as the qualification to select three treasures from the Imperial Treasury. "The second team will each receive a reward of 300,000 gold coins and the right to choose two treasures from the Imperial treasury. "The third team will each receive a reward of 100,000 gold coins and the right to choose a treasure from the Imperial Treasury. After announcing the rewards, the red-robed old man continued, "Due to the busy schedule of Your Majesty, the rest of the itinerary will be entrusted to me in full responsibility, please follow the members of the three schools, I will lead you to the Imperial Treasury, as for the academy instructor, please stay in the lobby and wait. In the face of the old man in the red robe's command, everyone present naturally did not have any opinions, even if they really had any opinions, in front of Emperor Ogden, how could everyone dare to say it?
"Powerful men of the Empire, I hope we have a chance to meet again. Leaving such a sentence, Emperor Ogden got up and left the table directly, as the head of a country, all kinds of affairs are busy, it is not easy to spare these dozens of minutes today.
With the departure of Emperor Ogden, the national teacher also left with Emperor Ogden, and the two symbols of the empire left.
