Chapter 18: The Temple of Chaos
"Yes, and with an eerie and run-down atmosphere."
For a moment, the two of them clenched their fists at the same time.
Our weapons have been confiscated by the guards as we enter the palace, and if the situation is really dangerous, what can we do to protect ourselves?
At the same time, the envoys were already seated one after another, and with the announcement of the herald, the audience was silent for an instant.
"His Majesty the King has arrived!"
"God bless my king!" The subjects of the Silver Wing congratulated in unison, the envoys of all countries stood up, and the long-lasting applause resounded in the glorious hall, and the Silver Wing: This great country seems to usher in a new beginning.
However, William and Pelorance quietly had some other opinions in their hearts.
If this king does succeed in ascending the throne, will the fate of Silver Wing, and indeed the whole world, remain the same as before?
"In any case, it is better to hand over the secret box to the new king as soon as the enthronement ceremony is over," said William with some helplessness.
"What about just now... I remember reminding you many times that if you complete your mission, you can return home. His companion responded.
"For, as Archduke Findal has said, we are only qualified to surrender the Secret Box if the other party deserves to be king in any respect, and such a rule is constant." William patiently explained.
"What a troublesome errand, has Findah's personality always been so eccentric?" Pelorance said.
"According to the Grand Priest, with his cheetah-like sharp intuition, he may be the most complex person in the whole holy wing." William sighed, noncommittal to his companion's words.
At this moment, behind the curtain, the silverwing king Reddick was slowly walking towards the throne, his bright red velvet cloak hanging on the clean ground, the symbol of the king.
Strangely, he was still reading a letter.
"Hats off to Dear Confederate Reddick."
"Congratulations on your successful seizure of the Silver Wing's reign from Ethor."
"I have appointed two loyal knights, who will give you a token of my blessing."
"But, unfortunately, they can't pass it directly into your hands right now."
"Because, as a king, you have not yet received the blessing of the light of the silver wing."
"Please be patient, after the enthronement ceremony, you will be the luckiest person, and when the time comes, your body will also be strong enough to carry more power."
"Guardian of the Sacred Wing: Shadow of the Mountains."
The anonymity at the end did have a mysterious inducement to Reddick.
In the next second, the king smiled, then rubbed the envelope and threw it back.
It is worth mentioning that a faint gust of air suddenly appeared at this time.
With a gentle blow, the envelope fell safely into the pile of debris at the edge of the hallway.
What kind of force is it? Could it be that someone is free to control the flow of breath in the palace?
At the same time, under the long-awaited gaze of William and Pelorance, the noble and striking Silver Wing King has come into the sight.
When he calmly descended to the throne, the atmosphere in the entire hall was lifted.
"Thank you, all of you, for coming here to celebrate me!"
"The sweetest wine in the world, and the most luxurious food await you, so don't be polite, just make it your home."
Everyone applauded in unison, and the enthronement ceremony would soon begin in earnest.
At this moment, in the crowded celebration hall, an extraordinary atmosphere permeated everyone, but the faces of most of the visitors were still filled with joy.
And so it goes... Reddick thought proudly: when I put on the crown, I will receive the blessing of pure silver winged light, and then...
The devil in his heart had already danced with his hands, but his face was still calm and in public.
With the long speech of the ceremonial officer, the most solemn and solemn part of the whole venue will soon come.
"Wear the crown of silver feathers for the new king!" As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause rang out again.
At the same time, however, a strange question began to arise in the minds of many people.
The new king was the nephew of Ethel III, and it is well known that the three sons and daughters of the previous king were more qualified to inherit the throne than him.
However, the news of their disappearance disappointed their supporters, who speculated that they had all perished.
Therefore, the throne fell into the hands of the child born to the king's sister, Princess Alina.
Moreover, on that night, almost all the high-ranking officials of the entire Silverwing Kingdom were wiped out, including the head of the Tianhe Knights, Kloanya himself.
Isn't that weird? No, it's just extremely strange...
However, in the anticipation of everyone, the ceremonial officer still came to Redick with a crown of silver feathers inlaid with one hundred and twenty-eight pearls.
"Great King, this is the glory that rightfully belongs to you."
The audience burst into applause again, and many of the Silver Wing subjects even began to chant.
"Wear this crown, and from now on, you will ride the wind to the end of the brilliant heavenly river!"
The voice of the ceremonial officer echoed through the noisy hall.
The next moment, the situation actually quieted down again.
King Reddick finally spoke.
"At this moment, we are gathered together like friends who have known each other for a long time."
"This magnificent palace between the magnificent mountains and rivers is not only a gift from God, but also the starting point of a new era, and a place where hope rises."
"Here, I have important news to announce to you!"
"After decades of hard fighting by the Silverwings, we have finally defeated a distant adversary: the Kingdom of Hastan."
"It's something to celebrate, but in order to calm the war and make people's lives more prosperous and healthy."
"I have decided to sign an armistice with the Kingdom of Hastan and officially conclude an alliance!"
When the words fell, the expectations in many people's hearts instantly turned into fragments.
At the front of the crowd, a man in a straight military uniform stood up angrily.
"Are you crazy? This is clearly a surrender! The victory with the kingdom of Hastan was bought with the blood of countless soldiers, how can you do this! ”
All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Watch your tone and your words! Admiral Heiko. The ceremonial officer said sharply from the side.
At the same time, many of the emissaries could not contain their indignation, and they suddenly stood up and protested themselves.
William and Pelorance clearly observed that while the crowd was furious, the nearby sackcloth-clad mysteries quietly pulled the blade out of its sheath by an extra inch.
They know that the whole world has always supported the complete destruction of Hastan by the Silverwing, which is not only a trust, but also the meaning of the "shield of justice", and the long-cherished wish of all the Silverwing kings, including Carl Lockdan.
If, even such a long-awaited ending is inevitably completely changed, then...
It also means that decades of achievements have all come to naught at this moment...
What a betrayal this was, even the elves and Liuxia envoys in the east of the continent stood up angrily.
"Remember, we will never support your decision!" They said in unison.
The celebration continues, and the dangerous situation, at some point, quietly descends on the sky.
