Chapter 339: When the Sun Rises, the Darkness Dissipates (Part I)

The next morning, Sean was woken up by the palace guards.

Today needs to be a little early, because all the people of the capital of Jagon will gather at the gate of the Temple of the Sun to watch, as one of the members of the royal family of Jagon, and as the eldest son of the family of Izdihar, it is necessary to let all the people of the kingdom of Jagon know of his existence.

The worship of the Temple of the Sun is both a tradition and a declaration of one's arrival to the world.

There are quite a few rules, and you must arrive at the temple before the sun rises, because the sacrifice is required to be held at the same time as the sun rises......

Before dawn, Sean had to feel the hill where the temple was located.

"Illya, help me see if my clothes are neat?" asked Sean from time to time on the way.

"It's all in order, Your Highness the Prince. ”

I was afraid that I wouldn't be at ease, and I helped pull the collar a little.

It's sorted out, but Sean always feels uncomfortable, and he always has a feeling of being pimpled on his neck.

Pulling on her clothes just touched Illya's hand.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is just not used to wearing this dress, this is the clothes that our Adak royal family will wear during the sacrifice, if you are really not used to it, it will be good to endure today. Illya said.

The dress is wide, but I don't know how to fix the fabric in order to maintain a qualitative state, so I always feel a pimple on my neck when I wear it.

"Hopefully it won't be long. ”

There was a very long staircase waiting after getting out of the carriage, but the Sun King and a few other siblings were already standing nearby.

"Brother, you're late. Reyla was the first to jump up when she saw Sean come out.

"I'm sorry~ I've kept you waiting. Sean didn't expect them to get up so early, and they all came over before dawn.

"It's okay, you're not used to it yet...... Come on, I'll tell you what you're going to do next. "The Sun King seems very casual.

In a day's contact, Sean could see that the uncle in front of him still cared for him, although he didn't know what his relationship with his mother was, but it should be good on this day, otherwise he wouldn't take care of himself so much.

And the favorability has also been maintained [love]......

This is a favorability on top of worship.

Almost only relatives or a family can have this kind of favorability, Sean has only seen it in Freilia, and even Igonia's little girl is still [adored] favorability.

Of course, one of the main reasons is that he has only expressed his position in front of Frelia.

At that time, letting the other party let go of the things around him and follow him was actually equivalent to confessing, so the favorability changed instantly, and it was still a good feeling on top of love.

From Frelia, Sean can be regarded as having read all the favorability levels from low to high.

Follow the Sun King up to the high platform, and on the way, the other party keeps telling about what he is going to do in the sacrifice...... In fact, it is very simple, walk to the center of the temple square when the sun rises, which is illuminated by the newborn sun, and then the priests read various rituals and teachings.

At the end of the day, Sean was asked to take a bowl of water from the pool of holy water where he gathered at night, drink it, and pour the rest of the department into the earth, leaving a little more to scatter to the crowd.

The whole process is about accepting God's will and then loving your people.

The moral is simple...... It doesn't sound difficult, but it may take a little longer, because you have to wait until the sun comes out and the teachings to be read have to rise slowly with it.

Almost all members of the royal family go through this baptism when they reach adulthood, which means that they accept their identity and can love their people in the future!

Sean has been an adult for a long time, but he has been in another country before, so he has to perform this ritual when he returns.

"Sounds easy. Sean said after listening to the lecture.

"It's easy, but your brothers and sisters said they were very tired that day, and I don't really like this kind of dogmatic stuff, but I can't help it...... Doctrine is something that is revered in our country and in the whole desert nation, and if you want to rule this country, you must not ignore it. It was unintentional, but it didn't sound like that to Sean and the other princes and princesses.

I'm just accepting the coming-of-age ceremony in this area, so I don't need to say so much.

If it sounds to other princes and princesses, it sounds like they are teaching themselves to rule the country...... He looked slightly at Mudan and Seria on the other side.

Sure enough, the expressions of the two at the moment are not very good-looking.

Although the two never spoke, Sean could tell their emotions from the state they were showing.

When the Sun King said this in front of everyone, it felt like he was educating how to become the king of a country, although it wasn't necessarily to himself, but today's protagonist was originally himself.

Above the temple is a vast platform with a huge altar in the open air, and at the very edge stands an obelisk densely engraved with various characters and patterns.

Those are probably the historical records that many people have said.

However, this kind of record was carved by previous people, and in fact, there is still a tendency...... Sean once asked Lilith Bristol to read some ancient books, and those records of legends were actually artificially modified, not necessarily all true.

But at least it shows that it happened.

Ascend to the high platform of the temple......

Outside, there were already about a hundred ministers and nobles from the capital, and Shaun didn't know any of them, but Melsusa and Ben Tari were among them.

"Let's go, I'll take you through this section. The Sun King said to Sean at the last step of the staircase.

The rest of the siblings stopped, and only two continued on their way.

At the top of the temple, you can see not only the ministers and nobles below, but also the citizens surrounding the temple......

Countless people cheered as Sean ascended the platform.

"Look, those are the people who support you, and they will be the goal of your life until now. The Sun King said with a smile on the side.

On the other side, an old man in his sixties walked over.

"High Priest, I will ask you today. ”

"It is my pleasure, noble king!"

Sean glanced at the high priest who was going to baptize himself today, his name was not yet known, but he did look respectful.

With a smile on his face, he slowly took a large golden basin from the hand of the maid behind him.

"Your Royal Highness, I will begin to pray and eulogize in a moment, and at the end when I ask you what you see, you will say in a loud voice: Just see the light. ”

Before the sacrifice began, the high priest told him what to do.

"Yes, High Priest. Sean agreed, thinking that this was also a superficial job.

Then, in the high priest's loud shout, the multiplying magic was almost audible to the entire temple.

The golden basin was slowly placed on the platform in front of him......

Facing all the people below the temple.

It was at this moment that the first rays of sunlight shone through, and the angle hit the water in the golden basin, and the light was crystal clear.

............

The eulogies began to be prayed into, and even the high priest began to tell many stories from the previous generation......

“...... Looking at the first rays of the sun, what do you see, Your Royal Highness?"

"Your Royal Highness, Prince, reach out and hold the basin. I don't know who reminded me behind my back.

Sean reached out and touched the basin......

At this moment, a certain image flashed through my head.

A certain extremely distorted tentacle picture!!
