The salute roared, and pale petals fell in the wind, adding a touch of beauty to the coronation ceremony.

Compared with the various emperors of the realm, the coronation ceremony of the emperor of Oshoria was much more simple and low-key, but it was just a three-day holiday for the people of the whole country, and then arranged for a feast of food, which made ordinary citizens simply take to the streets, take advantage of the ceremony to celebrate, and then set up stalls to do some business.

The atmosphere of the ceremony was full of joy, and the enthusiasm of the people of Oshuria was so strong that even the three of them, who had experienced a hundred battles, felt a trace of social fear.

The atmosphere on the streets is definitely not something that can be created one day at a time, compared to the military empire that the shopkeeper said before, the citizens of the empire obviously do not seem to enjoy such a jubilant day on the first day, even if they are street vendors and pawns, they are also enjoying life comfortably, highlighting a place where you can buy if you like, and it is not impossible to give you away if you don't buy it.

"Isn't it too fun here?" Yu Tian muttered.

"We don't seem to be in the abyss, but in the sea of flowers."

Somehow, there were some small flags and marshmallows in the night battle swordsman, and he didn't even know where these things came from, maybe some passing student saw that he was empty-handed, so he stuffed them into him.

"They are so enthusiastic, they are so happy, everyone enjoys life from the bottom of their hearts......"

The dragon dome pushed away the crowd, he was wearing shabby armor, and as far as the eye could see, the people of Oshuria were all shiny, even the poor, and their clothes were brand new.

He looked all over the streets, and he couldn't see a single homeless man or idle person.

For a while, Long Yuqiong didn't know what to say.

Originally, he thought that Leoz would use the model of reckless military force, building barracks and weapons factories in the conquered lands, and imposing heavy tithes on the people of the land, just as he had done in Haines in the past.

As far as the eye can see, however, is a land full of life, hope and enthusiasm, far beyond the ordinary appearance of the realm.

During the days when they were working under Lai Anding, the three of them had almost traveled through half of the abyss, the four major narratives, and dozens of kingdoms because of various busy affairs, but even in the narrative civilization, they had never seen such pure happiness.

It's as if this kind of culture shouldn't have been sourced from the outside.

The Dragon Dome didn't have time to savor it, because the coronation ceremony was about to begin.

"Let's go."

Relying on the advantage of the body of the ascendant, the three of them easily squeezed into the huge square where the ceremony was held, which was like a spectacle, white throughout, completely carved from marble, with murals to write the conquest of the empire, the history of the nation, the myths and legends of Xingyuan, and the carved characters and heroes were even more lifelike.

Even, Long Yuqiong also saw the image of himself and others.

"The Haynes Blockade. The god warriors led by Leoz fought to the death on the last line of defense of the Abyss War, and were finally defeated and banished, and the [Society] army invaded the Star Abyss ......"

The night sword pointed to the relief on it, and said in amazement:

"Look, Tsushika, you're in there too. You also participated in the Haynes Blockade? ”

“…… Sort of. ”

Long Yuqiong looked at the figure of the god warrior draped in the armor of the sea beast:

"I was still an evil god back then. Exploded with a few [society] councilors, but was finally killed by the [Goddess of Truth] and dedicated to Leoz. ”

"Huh? But inside, you are obviously the appearance of a righteous god? ”

"Leoz didn't demonize you, it's really ......"

"It doesn't matter."

Long Yuqiong shook his head:

"The ceremony is about to begin, do you hear the cheers? The emperor had already walked on the red carpet, and if he was one step too late, he would have missed it. ”

"Are you sure it must be Leoz?"

"I'm sure, Leoz, Leoz, Zhen — these are all people, and he said it himself."

Long Yuqiong was in a complicated mood, leading two warriors through the long corridor and into the audience in the square.

The bright sunshine accompanied by the sound of boiling people, more solemn and jubilant than ordinary festival celebrations, it was obviously a coronation ceremony, but there was no serious atmosphere, and the seats were full of vendors selling snacks and melon seeds and mineral water, as well as college student volunteers responsible for maintaining order.

People were sipping melon seeds while laughing and talking, as if it was just a ball game with big stars. As long as the star plays on time, no one will be dissatisfied, this is really a wonderful relationship, in the eyes of Long Yuqiong and others, the emperor should always maintain mystery and majesty, and should not be entertained, civilian, and the object of casual ridicule.

But in this peaceful and jubilant atmosphere, the coronation ceremony went on in an orderly manner, and when Merston and his wife Anjuri Merston entered the hall and appeared in the hall as the Lord Protector, the 100,000 spectators instantly fell silent.

The name of Merston, with the expansion and conquest of the empire, has already resounded on the Abyss Continent, and her wife Anjuri Merston is not an ordinary person, but a twin underworld, and the Arden underworld is a close relative, the difference is that the Arden underworld is divided into male and female, and the twin underworld are hermaphroditic.

In order to bring out the status of the Lord Protector, Ancurie Merston appeared as a female at this moment, with light gray skin and a neutral robe, like a pure priest. In both hands, she held a bright, ornate laurel tiara, made of pure gold, which was not only expensive, but also an excellent spell-casting tool.

Anjuri looked at his lover with a tense face and a heavy armor covered in thorns, and teased:

"Let's be honest, dear, how long have you waited for this moment?"

"37 years."

Mrs. Merston said lightly.

"Isn't that the same age as Your Majesty?"

"I have been looking forward to this day since the day His Majesty was born."

Merston Yoyo says:

"My sister's desire to give birth to a powerful child and revive the glory of the House of Daybreaker has resorted to some sorcery to do sorcery...... Although this method brought her death. ”

"Did you mean Obelliana, did you plan to let the strong kid absorb the weak......

"She's next to the abyss."

Merston sent a message to the other party:

"During the mother's pregnancy, the next star abyss, using the mark of the curse and the mechanism of sharing the curse on the same path, can transfer all the curses to the eldest son who is still in the embryonic stage and has no consciousness."

Anjuli frowned: "Isn't this a living sacrifice?" Oberiana had loved people all her life, how could she do such a thing......"

"She was scared, I think, from the time she was pregnant, there were people who had been eyeing her and the child in her womb. So I planned to hurry up and give birth to the child, but who would have expected that those people were constantly increasing their help, from miscarriages, poisoning, and even to directly arson and murder in the end - after so many years, I still haven't caught them. ”

At this point, Merston suddenly changed his words and asked:

"No one knows about His Majesty Leoz and his younger brother, right?"

"The only people in this world know are you, me, Leoz himself, and the Doctor Kim who took care of Obelia."

Anjuri comforted:

"What if they kidnap the little ones over the years? Now that the little majesty has grown up and is full of civil and martial arts, even if they plan to support the little prince to ascend to the throne, with you, what else can they do? ”

Merston was silent for a moment, but in the face of the crowd cheering, she had an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"That Leoz, how many people know about things without talent?"

"Well...... this"

Anjuri hesitated:

"The palace maids and knights in the capital have a lot of understanding, and most of them can guess many civil and military generals."

"The fact that Oshoria laid the foundation for the path of redemption, giving benevolence and righteousness, and casting spells to save people is a testament to the fine lineage of the royal family passed down from generation to generation, and it can be said that the Oshurians have long believed that the king mainly uses the power of the [redemption] path to save the people, which is a traditional art."

Merston raised his fist and said uneasily:

"Although over the years, Leoz has expanded his territory and won the hearts of the people, but the rules are the rules. Leoz doesn't have the talent for the path of [redemption], I have been hiding it for decades, but once it is made public, will those civil and military generals and people still honor Leoz as a king? ”

"Or rather."

"Can a king who cannot save, heal, and resurrect the people really win the trust of the Oshurians?"

Speaking of this, even Anjuri had to be silent.

Although she wanted to say that this was a worrying thing, after all, after so many years, it was Leoz who ruled the empire, but in the process of continuous reform, Leoz also offended quite a lot of civil and military generals.

Many people lost their official positions because of his reforms, some people changed from large landowners to ordinary citizens, and the continuous wars made the financial staff extremely dissatisfied, and some people feared that the expansion of the empire would cause the wrath of the narrative civilization, and tried to persuade His Majesty to reflect on himself.

Internal hidden dangers have always existed.

In Merston's worries, there has always been an ending that she is unwilling to face:

If one day, the little prince who was abducted suddenly appeared and showed the redemption skills of resuscitation of the dead, self-healing of the patient, and regeneration of severed limbs.

When the time comes, who will be the true orthodox king?

You are willing to accept a monarch who will keep you safe and healthy, free from pain and the fear of death.

Or is it a master who has been fighting for years and years, constantly implementing reforms, and becoming more and more radical?

The answer is obvious, not many people are willing to fight for the king forever.

Merston could sweep away all enemies for his nephew and slaughter others for him.

But what if the object of the enemy of the nephew is another nephew of his own?

Merston was quite comfortable admitting his thoughts:

She couldn't.

Not only can't she do it, but she can't watch the children kill each other, the tragedy of the brothers' rivalry happens, and Mrs. Merston, who has been unruly and wantonly killing all her life, also has her weakness.

She became a demigod too early, she had lost the ability to conceive life, and due to the nature of her godhead, she could never have healthy offspring, and even those who had obtained it through other means would become deformed and distorted.

Because of this, when Merston heard of Oberiana's accident, she almost immediately rushed to Oshoria, and seeing Leoz's young and lonely appearance, she instilled in Leoz all the love that she had failed to fulfill to become a mother.

However, on the one hand, Leoz, who she cultivated with her own hands and grew up in care and love, on the other hand, is also a little prince who has the same blood and is even more pure (with talent).

She couldn't do anything to protect Leoz, but she didn't want to make a decision on this matter.

"You're thinking too much." An Juli soothed: "I specially picked a good weather for the coronation ceremony, don't worry, that kid has gone all the way smoothly, without any twists and turns, Xingyuan must have favored him." ”

"If Xingyuan really favors Leoz, why can't he even give him the basic talent?" Merston muttered, "I feel uneasy, very strongly today, that Leoz has given up his surname and seems to be aware of the life sacrifice that his mother has made...... I only hope that I can get Leoz to let go of his prejudices about his birth mother through my years of protection. ”

"Don't worry, Leoz is not a narrow-minded villain." Anjuri patted Merston on the shoulder: "Honey, don't be so suspicious today. If you're worried, find another opportunity to investigate all of them in the future and get the little prince back secretly. ”

"Leoz has been looking for 37 years now, and I've been looking for him for 37 years."

Merston had mixed feelings:

"I don't know how that kid has grown up to the present, what the purpose of those people is, maybe they want the throne......"

"Stop, dear, stop, stop, stop."

Anjuri stopped Merston from speaking of concern, saying:

"What you should be thinking about now is to join me in getting the coronation done."

As soon as the words fell, the stage immediately boiled, and the 100,000 spectators called out one word like a tsunami:

Emperor.

Anjuri glanced in the direction of the gate and said with a smile:

"Here he comes, your good nephew, who is waiting for you to put the crown on his head."

“…… You're right. I've got to pull myself up. ”

Merston took a deep breath, no longer thinking about miscellaneous things, she tensed her nerves, looked at the figure slowly walking in front of her, and said:

"Greetings to the supreme ruler, the dragon khan of the steppe herdsmen, the conqueror of the deserts and glaciers, the man who opened the eastern route, the victor of sixteen wars, the valiant warrior of the western continent, the holy reformer, the beloved monarch of the people, His Majesty Leoz."

Click, click, click......

Stainless steel boots tread smoothly on the granite brick road, and the murderous expeditionary force rushed in through the front door, and they were lined up in a neat formation.

Two groups of hussars marched from the flanks, dragging the spoils of the desert conquest, including expensive jewels, rare crops, and real money, circling the arena and throwing exotic coins into the audience.

A dull thunderous roar came from the sky, and before the people had time to pick up the coins, they raised their heads one after another, only to see that the sky was covered by huge wings, and the three huge wyverns swept over the square at a low speed, without even triggering a sonic boom, and the wyverns lowered their posture so that people could clearly see the reverse scales under their armpits.

Just when people thought that this was the limit, there was a roaring explosion in the canal not far away.

Bang bang!

The fleet of the Imperial Navy lined up and threw paintball fireworks into the sky above the square, the bullet marks dragging the colored smoke and crisscrossing the air to depict an elaborate coat of arms of Oshoria: a three-headed dragon with its wings outstretched and its four claws holding a shield.

After the national emblem, the orchestra began to play just right:

The empire stands tall in the stars

The country lasts for hundreds of millions of years

People of all ethnic groups come together

Farming guards the celebration of the Chinese New Year

May my mother smile

May peace last forever

Who dares to invade my homeland

The people will teach it to perish

……………………

This simple and straightforward national anthem is actually the first national anthem in the true sense of the word.

When Long Yuqiong and the others were still watching from their seats, the men, women, old people and children around them stood up one after another, raised their heads to reveal themselves, and chanted proudly.

Along with the sound of the national anthem, the national flag was also raised from the highest point of the arena.

It wasn't until the moment he saw the national flag that Long Yuqiong really confirmed in his heart that his conjecture was right, that emperor must be the former Leoz.

Red, white, and black tricolor flags flutter in the air.

He was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"This is, the flag of Haines."

Red and black are the colors of the skin and armor of the dominant gods, and white is the praise of the Haynes regime for their homeland.

Haynes means dream.

Dreams are pure and white.

"My hometown, Haines."

Long Yuqiong muttered and stood up.

"Haines, you still exist in this world."
