There are two festivals for the anniversary festival, one is a festival competition for everyone to enjoy, and there are various competitions so that everyone can find the one they are interested in. The other is only open to the upper echelons of the human race - the Great Rite of Sacrifice!

The stage of the sacrifice has not been rebuilt, it is still the same as it was thirty years ago. The Golden Empire, as the master, is located in the center, and the stands of other countries or powers spread out to both sides, like fans.

However, the Golden Empire is not too arrogant, and everyone's stands are the same. I remember that Zhao Wudi deliberately built the stands of the Golden Empire one level higher, although it was nothing, but it also caused some people to be a little unhappy.

But this time, Zhao Feng's actions won the favor of some people. It seems that this emperor is indeed a very calm and fair emperor as the outside legend says.

At this time, the sacrificial dance was about to end, and it was about to enter the time when the chant was sung by the spirits, but for this sacrificial ceremony, some people's expressions were extremely serious, and some people's expressions were disdainful.

For example, the old man in the stands next to the Golden Empire, his expression should not be said to be disdainful, but an attitude of indifference.

Behind him, there were several priests dressed in white or red sacrificial robes, out of place with the current scene, but no one objected to them.

Because it's very simple, their identity is the Holy Sect of the First Golden Empire's Anniversary Festival! And the majestic old man in the lead is the legendary Arbitor who is on a par with the Pope!

For them, the Golden Empire's annual sacrifice was clearly not a god worthy of their reverence, and it was undoubtedly a provocation to the Holy Religion. Of course, this is just the Holy Sect's own opinion, and the tradition of the anniversary festival has not changed, but it has never been interested in the anniversary festival Holy Sect.

However, the arbitrator's indifference seems to have something else to do with it.

"Is there any news?" a red-robed priest suddenly ran to the stands and came to the side of the chief arbitrator, who asked expressionlessly.

"Not yet, and it seems that the Holy Maiden has not left the imperial capital. "Two divine rings were embroidered on the shoulders of the red-robed priest. Representing his identity, "Most likely, the Holy Maiden is acting alone. ”

"It's nonsense!" the presiding judge snorted coldly, "don't you even have the slightest consciousness as the next pope? It seems that you have been with Vlaar for too long and have been influenced by him!"

"Keep looking, if it really doesn't work, let a few sacrifices lift the seal, it's a big deal to let them leave the imperial capital, and find the holy woman first. The presiding arbitrator coldly ordered, "Got it!"

"Yes!" the red-robed priest received the order and ran down the stands. The Arbitrator's gaze continued to linger on the dance in front of him, although he was not interested, but his identity made him have to watch the boring performance here.

This time, I came because of the betrayal of the previous Pope, which led to having to enter the Golden Continent in order to find the Pope to give him divine punishment. And since he came, it was impossible for the Holy Sect to be rampant to such an extent, and he would come to participate in the anniversary sacrifice after brushing the face of the empire in the Golden Continent. Meaning.

And in addition to the Holy Sect, there was also a master in the stands who also looked disdainful, and that was the blood-red emperor in a red robe, Cairodis Hafro!

"Rachel. How long will this show last?" Cairodis yawned and turned to ask the gray-clad soldier beside him.

The Blood Red Empire, as probably the second most powerful country on the mainland, was indeed shabby in the stands, with only two people standing here.

"Follow the process. Now the dance is coming to an end. Rachel, who has always shown a cold side in front of the public, said indifferently.

"Oh, that's great!" said Cairodis, who was a little perked up at once, "what these are singing and dancing." It's so boring on our Red Continent that no one cares about, how can it be so popular on the Golden Continent? I haven't found anything interesting until now. ”

"Not only the Golden Continent, it should be said that except for our Red Continent, other continents appreciate singing and dancing very much. Rachel corrected, "And maybe it could be narrowed a bit, after all, your majesty, many of your courtiers like this kind of performance." ”

"You mean that I should introduce this culture as well?" Cairodis scratched his hair, and then thought of his powerful courtiers, and couldn't help but shudder, "And didn't I say, don't mention them to me outside!"

The Red Continent is because of its fierce folk customs and advocating strength. Even scholars have not weak cultivation, which led to the fact that after the Scarlet Empire searched for talents in Cairodis, every time the court met under Cairodis, there were a group of tough guys and courtiers who shook their muscles, and most of these were not military generals, they were all selected by liberal arts exams!

Every time there is a court meeting, these courtiers are louder than one another, and they are so confident that Cairodis who is sitting there listening to the report can't stand it, so every time Cairodis travels, he just takes Rachel with him, and these courtiers are all put in the country by him.

However, these ministers of the Scarlet Empire do have real skills, even if Cairodis abdicates now, the Scarlet Empire will not be weak for a while, which is also the reason why Cairodis cannot expel these courtiers.

"The introduction of culture is at the mercy of His Majesty, but I'll get back to the point. "After this dance, there is also a singing chant performance. ”

"No!" Cairodis, who had never been interested in singing and dancing, rolled his eyes.

The dance is coming to an end, and this is also the time for the Singing Spirit to appear. This time, the song spirit was not personally designated by the sage, but was chosen by Zhao Feng, I don't know if it was for some reason, Zhao Feng still selected the singer on Tongfang Street to sing the carol.

Zhao Feng, who was dressed in a dragon-patterned purple and gold robe, stood in front of him, and next to him stood a boy who looked to be in his teens, but the boy's eyes revealed the color of vicissitudes, and this kind of look was definitely not owned by children.

And one step behind Zhao Feng, there stood a man who was somewhat similar in figure and appearance to Zhao Feng, and he was also wearing a dragon-patterned golden robe, representing his identity - the crown prince of the Golden Empire, Zhao Yue!

And beside the prince there were two people side by side, an old man with an old look but very sharp eyes, and a woman with gray hair but a skin and appearance like that of a young girl of twenty.

Being able to be ranked with the crown prince proves the dignity of his identity.

Some of the old men knew him, he had only recently returned to the Golden Empire, and Zhao Feng was able to be named the 'Yongwei King' of the prince, and the legendary imperial doctor Zao Wou-ki, one of the golden three lights.

But there was another woman whose identity no one knew.

This was followed by a number of courtiers and the old men of the empire's great reputation. Because some of them have resigned and retired, but their fame and achievements are still worthy of bringing them back to this stage, the Golden Empire has the largest number of people in the stands.

"Song of the Spirit, who makes the song?" Listening to the song of the Spirit, Zhao Feng suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, it's Wang Yu, a musician from the court. An official apparently dealing with an incident related to the anniversary festival reported.

Zhao Feng looked at the singer's passionate singing, and suddenly closed his eyes, "Reward." ”

"Yes, the minister thanked Your Majesty for Wang Yu. The official said respectfully.

"Your Majesty is so interested, do you have any thoughts when you listen to this ode?" the boy standing beside Zhao Feng suddenly asked.

The sage smiled, and did remember some of the past. Zhao Feng smiled slightly, "After the song of the ode to the spirit is finished, ask the sage to start presiding over the sacrifice." ”

This boy turned out to be a sage, but everyone already knew about it, although it was not too surprising to be surprised. Sages are not ordinary beings in the first place. Although this boy looks very young, he has an extraordinary temperament.

Moreover, some of those present also experienced the anniversary festival thirty years ago, and naturally remembered the sage Aland Yahfhua who called himself the 'Fifth Priest'. And this sage seems to be a more noble existence than the original Aland, and I heard that he is the 'fourth priest'.

"This is nature. The boy nodded, then looked at the place of sacrifice, "It seems that the carol is about to end, and it will be ready next." ”

Everyone looked, and sure enough, Song Ling had finished singing and disappeared in the beautiful colored mist.

Then the figure of the boy appeared in the center of the stage and respectfully saluted everyone: "The fourth priest of the land of the brave, Lu Jin, the 300th anniversary sacrifice ceremony is held here, now please close your eyes." ”

"What is this for?" Cairodis asked after a moment's pause, then closed his eyes in obedience.

"It's said that it will lead everyone's soul later, but I don't know. Rachel's voice was a little helpless, "Can you please not ask me everything." ”

"Don't ask anything, what are you bringing out for?" Cairodis smiled, and then his heart calmed down.

Seeing that everyone closed their eyes, Lu nodded, and then the sacrifice ceremony began! (To be continued......
