The Return of the King Chapter 020 God's Ritual (1)
1)
On August 30, 634 in the dragon calendar, after noon, at the house of Salmoni.
"On behalf of the Team Leader, I would like to convene you for an organizational meeting. The main content is to announce the plan for future actions, do you have any comments?" Shecher stood straight up the stairs and spoke solemnly.
The people below are not noisy, and they naturally have no opinion on this.
"So, the first thing I'm going to say is about the hatred between my group and the Ghost family, I know that everyone is still resentful of it, but as we know, they have paid a terrible price, so I hope that this anger will turn into your strength to move forward, and I would like you to leave it behind, which of course is difficult for Tank and Mister Myron. There seemed to be a bit of humor in his tone, and he successfully drew everyone's attention to the two big men who were shy and bandaged.
His words changed sharply: "However, since someone has already come out for us, and that method is simply miserable. I have to say that now we are much happier than the people of the Ghost family. ”
In this regard, this group of kind-hearted people did not have any objections, of course, under Lan Li's "patient coaxing", everyone accepted it.
Shecher thanked everyone, but he didn't notice it, he praised himself.
"Second, I think it's more important, and I call it 'Magician Ultimate Training'. The training is divided into five phases, namely the 10-day 'Breakthrough Phase', the 20-day 'Non-Free Team Stage', which is the task of the whole of September, and then the 'Team Challenge' stage of the whole of October, and the fourth stage is also the longest, which I call the 'Invincible' stage, which lasts for 50 days, and the last 10 days or so will usher in a big break to prepare for the Royalty Tournament. ”
Before Shecher could finish speaking, the crowd began to agitate.
"Everyone, let's be quiet, the content of the training will be announced to you the day before each stage, that is, the details of the first phase will be sent to you tomorrow, but I think you should be able to guess something, don't be in a hurry, the specific matters will be revealed tomorrow. ”
Most of the people nodded knowingly, only two or three people were in the clouds, looking at a daze like fools, this is the so-called "head without brain", which caused a burst of laughter from the others. Shecher smiled as well.
"Regarding Tank and Myron, they are in the midst of an injury period, so your first phase of the mission will begin on September 4th, and until then, it will be taken care of by me and Lan Li. Of course, the first stage of the mission for the four of us must also be completed by the specified date, and everyone must complete the task, with only punishment and no reward.
It can be said that the new official has taken office three times.
The people felt a little disgusted many times, and it was true that such a rule was too ruthless, and they looked pitifully at the two who had been robbed of three days, and laughed at them.
Myron's eyes widened, and he said fiercely: "Hmph, you better take a look at yourself first, who can complete it and who can't finish it at that time!" After speaking, he turned his head away nobly, and put on a gesture of disdain.
This boosted everyone's morale, and laughter scattered throughout the house.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Myron, we don't win or lose. Please also remember that we are a team, a team that will surely dominate the world!" no one would have imagined that this young man would have such great ambitions when he first arrived.
Everyone cheered, and some even cried tears of joy for the trust in the new team leader.
Two years ago, no one expected that this team would suddenly lose its original status, but even without cold eyes and Terry, they are still growing.
What excites them the most is that now they have a Shecher and Lanley, as long as they still have fighting spirit, these have become the reason for them to look forward to it.
"Alright, that's the end of this meeting, disband!" Lan Li said.
In a few moments, the people were gone, and they were probably in a hurry to go home and make preparations.

"Tell me, why do you want to stay?" asked Lanley as she caught up with Shecher.
"Oh, you know me so well?!" Shecher finally laughed heartily, he wanted to be more like a child in front of her, after all, the person in front of him was a "master".
"Hey, say it quickly! You really have a virtue with him, and you really deserve to be a master and apprentice!"
"Haha!" he said with a joking smile as if he was going to denounce her, "it's about him, too, September 2nd is the festival of Fiore god Ra, you should know that." ”
"Hey, yes, but what does it have to do with him?"
"According to his orders, there will be a big show that day, although I don't know very well, but I have to play with you for a day, and he says it's your favorite day. So I used the excuse that both of us were injured. ”
"He really has a heart. She said it very lightly, and everyone could see that there was sadness in it, and it happened to be touched, girls are always so easy to be moved, even if she has always been arrogant.
"Don't cry! Oh, why do you cry so much?"
"He... Didn't he just want me to cry? I liked him so much, and I was hurt by his resignation, I would rather believe that it was reluctant, but... But why is he..."Her tears told her thoughts about cold eyes in the past two years, and also poured out her love for seeing.
She really loves, and when she is punished by loss, her heart hurts.
Shecher had to be comforted, thinking that the girl was really not good to serve. They always want to be understood, but it's too hard to understand.
Why not!

In fact, Leng Eye didn't let him do this, but only told him something about the festival of the god Ra, and told him that Lanley liked it the most.
And Shecher is planning for other purposes.
On the one hand, this festival is the largest event in the country every year, and the Salamanda family naturally makes an appearance at the event, he wants to see his parents in advance, although the time is not yet ripe, but the years of separation have made it difficult for him to endure the pain that is so close at hand, and it is so easy to resolve it, but people always make the problem too complicated.
On the other hand, before he came here, that is, when he was on an assessment mission, he accidentally learned that there would be an ancient artifact on display at this festival, and I heard that it was from Ra himself, which added to its unique charm. Therefore, he was interested in learning about the magic of a long time ago, and of course, if he really saw Ra's artifact, it must have been sealed with powerful magic, and it was not an idle person. These are enough to attract everyone who craves power to participate in this festival, and the great deity, Ra, will once again be the focus of the world.
Lan Li cried completely regardless of the image, looking at her tank on the side with only a sad and loving expression, he could no longer do anything about her willfulness.
When Shecher realized that he had completely annoyed the lady, she assumed the attitude of a gentleman and tried to invite her to the center of the royal capital to relax.
The center of the royal capital is connected by a central street, Fiore First Street, and the end point is the most majestic royal palace in the entire kingdom and even in the whole continent, the palace of Fiore, the scale of which no one really knows, even the kings of the past.
Legend has it that this royal palace was built 4,300 years ago, in an ancient era when magic had not yet prevailed, and the whole continent was full of freshness and prosperity under the rule of the only god, Ra, and it took a lot of manpower to build it. At that time, it was called the "Temple of Ra", and of course this happened after the legend of Ra created magic.
Legend has it that the god Ra created six types of magic, the first magic, and then he sealed them into six artifacts. With Ra's death, the six artifacts were lost in the unknown, and magic began to become a universal force of reality.
Since then, almost 500 years have passed, Fiore IV has created a secession of power with his unparalleled magic, conquered the descendants of the gods and won, the Kingdom of Fiore was established, and the new royal capital was once again set as the ancient capital of Aslante, and the royal palace also inherited the "Temple of Ra" left behind by Chengla.
To the people, such an act was contrary to the gods, but the king soon proved with his strength that such a temple should belong to those who conquered the world like him.
However, as time passed, the palace gradually fell into disrepair, and when Fiore VII ascended the throne, he began to rebuild the palace. The new royal palace was not much different from the "Temple of Ra" on the surface, but at a time when magical culture flourished, the great king decided to use magic to transform its interior.
At that time, it was a time of great change, and countless powerful magic families across the continent stepped onto the stage of power and built their own kingdoms, and the land of Fiore was reduced little by little. In a sense, Fiore VII's internal transformation was partly to avoid the enemy, and a fear of war had already planted seeds in his heart.
He summoned the archmages of the whole continent who were still in Fiore's camp to build a royal palace with endless space for him, in fact, using magic—special spatial magic, to turn his palace into multiple layers, and obtain countless dimensional spaces on the original basis. This is why no one can say exactly how big it is, the palace that people can see is actually only the tip of the iceberg, and the infinite overlap of its inner space may be far larger than that of a country. Forty years in the making, no one knew how much space it had, and as a result, it became one of the most immense secrets of the wizarding world.
In later generations, there were countless magicians living in it, and it was not just a royal palace, but also like an incomparably large barracks, which was one of the reasons why people could not estimate the national strength of the first kingdom of Fiore, there were too many powerful magicians living in this stacked space.
More than ten years later, Fiore VIII succeeded to the throne and renamed the palace "Fiore Palace", a name that has been used to this day, even after the Victorians defeated the Fiore family and became the new royal family, they did not change this name, and did not even touch the bricks and tiles of the main hall.
Strangely, in the more than 3,000 years that it has once again dominated the continent, it has not been dilapidated, and has remained intact for generations, even the appearance of the main hall is exactly the same as before. These are not legends, they are facts that every Fiore person knows. It is speculated that it was probably due to the power of the magic, but the followers of Ra preferred to interpret it as "the guardianship of the gods".
Of course, part of this festival will also be held in the royal palace, which is a special approval of the king, and it is also the only one of all festivals, and it has to be said that it is rare in a thousand years. For most people, stepping into the royal palace is a lifelong fantasy, but now, it may become freedom.
In addition, the first street, which is full of history, also adds to the highlight of the festival.
