The experience was completely different from every promotion ceremony before.

This time, Ivus did not wake up from the intense vertigo, and then found himself in another place.

His perspective changed to a camera-like bird's-eye view – and even camera movements!

In the banquet hall of the Hall of Silver and Tin, knights dressed in regular clothes sat upright on both sides of the long table, discussing something in a low voice.

Ivus was stunned for a moment.

This promotion ceremony...... And the CG imported?

…… It's just that unlike in the game, this time Ivus can't press ESC to skip it anymore.

Then the screen turns, and Queen Sophia appears around the corner. She looked quite frail physically, but mentally seemed to be in good spirits. The eyes are sharp and the smile is kind. When a passing knight bowed to her, she smiled and nodded.

The old queen used the Avalon Scepter as a crutch and walked along. The timid and shy Princess Isabel was dressed up to attend, and was a little worried by her grandmother's side, as thin as a shadow. She can't help but tremble when she is watched.

Opposite Queen Sophia is a young woman with an excellent figure, beautiful and moving, and a graceful and luxurious temperament.

She wears a crown inlaid with amethysts and looks as if she is only in her twenties. Only from her scarlet pupils could she see her identity as the Child of the Moon.

Behind her, a boy who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.

From the similar appearance, it can be seen that it is her son...... But because her mother is too young, she looks more like a brother and sister.

He has short, well-groomed black hair, jet-black pupils like black pearls, and a faint smile that is natural and distant. He wore a purple-black tuxedo worn by the top star antimony aristocrats, and underneath a black ruffled shirt with wavy ruffles falling from the placket.

Purple is a difficult color to harness, but it doesn't look ugly for teenagers to wear. His facial features are deep, and he wears a topaz-textured monocle in his left eye. And the dress was also decorated with a large number of broken diamonds, which made him look like a dark nebula in the light of the banquet hall.

His temperament is more like that of a scholar who studies mystical knowledge than an aristocracy.

"Your Majesty Queen Sophia...... On behalf of my husband, Alfonso Valentine, the heir to the Twelve Keys, my son and my son, Lucien, I salute you and Avalon, whom the Silver Crowned Dragon cares for. ”

The woman smiled and bowed to the old queen, and the young man behind her bowed to her chest.

The most important title of King Star Antimony is the heir to the "Twelve Keys". In any case, the Star Antimony King can only consider himself an "alchemist".

Because nominally, Valentine I was the leader of the "Twelve Keys" organization, and was elected king by the members of the Twelve Keys. Although the Valentine family has now become a hereditary inheritance, and the "Twelve Keys" of Star Antimony have evolved into a cabinet-like organization...... But this is the fundamental source that the Star Antimony Throne cannot deny - that is, the joint election of the first generation of top transcendents.

Prince Lucien glanced at Isabel as he looked up.

Even though Isabel was dressed so beautifully and cutely, the way he looked at Isabel was extremely indifferent.

Isabel shuddered in fear, took a half step back to the side, and hid behind Queen Sophia. Lucian's gaze also deviated, and he looked back at the knights at the table with some boredom.

"Greetings to you, Louise. You don't need to salute, just call me Sophia in private. ”

Queen Sophia held her scepter in both hands, smiled and nodded: "The last time we met, it was more than forty years ago...... You're still so bright and moving. ”

"Aging is also a beauty, Sophia."

Queen Louise smiled, then stroked her long, bouncy blonde curls.

Then, she looked at Isabel: "Is this the princess Isabel?" Sure enough, he is worthy of being the bearer of the path of beauty...... So beautiful. ”

“…… Your Majesty Queen Louise, Your Royal Highness Prince Lucien, greetings to you. ”

Isabel had no choice but to step out from behind Queen Sophia, saluted Queen Louise, and whispered a quick response, "May the silver-crowned dragon protect you." ”

She didn't dare to look at the two of them, but Queen Louise didn't react to them. She just nodded gently at Isabel. Prince Lucien only stroked his chest slightly and gave her an equal salute.

When Queen Sophia walked to the round table with Queen Louise, all the knights rose one after another.

The knights respectfully saluted several members of the royal family, smiles of joy on their faces as calm and reserved as they could.

"Oh, Your Majesty...... Sit down. ”

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the side.

It was the Secretary of State for Trade with a cheerful smile on his face, Charles Drost.

He was old and fat, and his round, huge head looked like a fat-headed fish and a toad. The belly bulges like a water balloon, and you can't even see your feet when you look down. The dress was so stretched that it seemed as if the buttons could fly out with a hard stomach.

The old man's limbs could not see any muscles, and the aging and loose skin could not hold the loose fat.

He greeted him happily and helped Queen Sophia to sit at the head of the long table. He also patted Isabel on the shoulder, as if to encourage her.

Princess Isabel stood behind Queen Sophia, not knowing for a moment whether she should sit down or not. Drost, on the other hand, approached Queen Louise, and talked about trivial matters in an exaggerated tone, making her laugh incessantly.

After Queen Louise and Prince Lucien were seated, Isabel sat down with Prince Lucien.

“…… In the future, when the two highnesses get married, we Avalon and Star Antimony will become a family. ”

Chancellor Drost smiled cheerfully and waved his hand. Someone handed over a bottle of good wine that had been chilled.

He showed the bottle to several His Majesty and His Highnesses, boasting: "This is a special gift from the Pope, 'Sacred Tree No. 1'." Every time the eternal pope wakes up from his slumber, he drinks a glass of this wine. There is no better wine in the whole world.

"I also searched for a long time, and finally found this bottle. It's a fitting celebration of Avalon's sacred marriage to Startek – and with Prince Lucien, Avalon has more than peace...... It is the prosperity of the two countries and the happiness of the people. If the church learns of this, it will certainly send an envoy to congratulate it. ”

"You're quite generous, Drost."

Queen Sophia smiled happily: "If it were me, I would be reluctant to hand over such a good thing." ”

"Oh, what is there to be reluctant to celebrate this holy and rejoicing good day?"

Chancellor Droste said as if he didn't care, and then turned to cry again: "Of course...... If you want to say it, it's still a little greedy. It would be great if you, Your Majesty, could give me a cup and let me taste it. ”

"Then what's there to be reluctant to?"

The old queen smiled gently and kindly, and looked at Minister Drost as if she were looking at her own pleasing child: "You have been busy with this matter, and it is also hard for you." When clinking glasses, on the day of celebration, you deserve such a share. ”

"That couldn't be better."

When Drost heard this, a childlike smile appeared on his face.

He opened the bottle and poured out the beautiful liquid that was as clear as ruby. Intense fragrance leached out immediately,

First Queen Sofia, then Queen Louise, then Isabel, Louis, and finally herself.

He held the cup in both hands, showed it to several highnesses, and then drank it all. This shows that there is no problem with this wine.

"Oh, what a sin deserves death. I'm getting a little hungry...... I couldn't help it. ”

It was obviously a drug test, but he seemed to have made some mistake.

Minister Drost savored the aroma of the wine, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face: "This is indeed ...... Ah, the best wine in the world......"

"Hearing you say that, I'm looking forward to it more and more."

Queen Sophia was also interested.

She sighed lightly and smiled helplessly: "I'm still a bit hungry...... After Meg left, there was no one to drink with me. I had never drunk such a good wine before, and the bottle that His Majesty the Pope gave me at my coronation was all stolen by Meg. ”

And Queen Louise and Queen Sophia clinked glasses lightly and said with a smile: "It's okay, Star Antimony and Avalon will be a family in the future."

“…… If Miss Meg was still around, she would be glad she did. ”

As they spoke, they drank the wine from their glasses.

Isabel had just taken a sip when she choked on the somewhat strong wine and coughed. The strong smell of alcohol choked her cheeks crimson, and her cough was a little teary and her eyes were hazy.

And just as she was still holding her wine glass and coughing softly, Queen Sophia's body suddenly collapsed. Her unflattened glass gurgled and rolled out, shattering on the floor.

In an instant, the ballroom fell silent.

The knights all looked over and got up sparsely.

Some have compassion in their eyes, some have doubts in their eyes, some have anger in their eyes, and some have their eyes closed.

"Your Majesty's assassination—"

Minister Drost shouted angrily: "Seal off the banquet hall!" ”

Isabel was startled and staggered to her feet. The wine glass in her hand couldn't hold it, and it fell directly to the ground.

Her mind went blank, her mouth was open, and she didn't say anything.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

An "Isabel" with wounds and signs of being tied up staggered out of the corner.

She is exactly like Isabel.

Isabel looked at her in amazement, her pupils dilated with astonishment and fear.

And at this moment, the camera changed to Isabel's somewhat blurry first perspective.

There was a buzzing and growing ringing sound in her ears.

Isabel was wheezing more and more violently, like asthma. Her heart was beating louder and louder, and the world in front of her was blurry. She clutched her heart, unable to say anything, and staggered to the back of her chair.

And the "Isabel" pointed at Isabel and shouted: "She's not me...... That's the witch who shapeshifts into me! ”

"Wait—"

Shafiya, the Grand Inquisitor, stood up suddenly.

She glanced back and forth between the two Isabelles, and immediately decided that the Isabel who seemed to be a little uncomfortable and unable to speak was real.

"—Capture the Assassin!"

Minister Drost ignored her completely, and shouted.

And at this moment, among the knights at the banquet, many people suddenly drew their weapons from out of nowhere and attacked their colleagues around them.

Some people reacted and fought back, and some people didn't react and were hit hard in an instant. The battle of the fourth energy level broke out in an instant, the extraordinary power of the authoritative path diffused in the air, and the long table of the banquet was destroyed in an instant.

As soon as Shafiya wanted to make a move, she suddenly frowned, and looked at Queen Star Antimony with some fear.

Louise had an undisguised smile of triumph on her face, and the two fifth-level transcendents who came with her, an old man in a black robe, and an old general with a raging golden flame in his eyes, also stood up from the banquet table for the first time.

- Only a very brief lag.

Shafiya, who didn't have a staff, didn't hesitate to ignore the chaos in the banquet hall.

As the only fifth-level energy level present, she carried Isabel who was still in a daze.

Don't hesitate to run!

The silvery-white light formed a flicker of wings behind her, and Shafiya flew out with the princess's brush.

The torrent swept away the air, and she slammed straight into the wall, the silver-gray storm shattering the wall directly.

At this moment, the old man in the black robe stretched out his right hand to their departing backs.

Terrifying mana fluctuations rolled up the hurricane, and the walls of the Temple of Silver and Tin trembled.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the movements of the fighting knights instantly slowed down several times, and visibly slower and slower.

However, at this moment, Shafiya struggled violently in the air and struggled to turn around.

She carried Isabel with one hand, and with her free right hand she made a "stop" gesture and pushed forward with a palm!

Ding——

With the crisp and melodious sound of striking a triangle, a white triangle symbol filled with a labyrinthine curve appeared in front of Shafiya's palm.

It instantly blurred, dispersing as a ghostly rainbow light. And the mana fluctuations that had just risen were immediately wiped out.

The time of lag is restored instantly.

At the same time, the two of them who were flying upside down at high speed flew out in this gap.

Some knights were inspired by this and changed their minds and prepared to flee.

In the banquet hall, which was in ruins almost instantly, the other "Isabel" just stood expressionless, her hands folded in front of her, staring at the hole in the wall, and the whole person was motionless.

Queen Louise ignored her and whispered something to the two fifth-level "retinues". They did not take the initiative to attack the others, and the other knights did not dare to attack them at all.

Prince Lucien, under the protection of the two fifth-level powerhouses, was bored drinking and eating food, like an actor who had not been assigned a role, and had no interest.

The angry look on Chancellor Drost's face had disappeared, and he put on a happy smile again, and poured Prince Lucien respectfully and respectfully poured wine.

On the other side, the knights of Avalon are fighting fiercely to the death—some trying to escape, others not wanting them to escape.

And the queen, who fell to the ground and lost her breath, was left uncared for.

The update is complete, an update of 6,500 words!

The routine has collapsed again, and now it's 6:40 (painful)

Wait until you wake up to fix the typo......
