Volume 2 The Name of the Heavenly Wind Chapter 121 The Ceremony of the Princess
Shang Hao and the others didn't know about Caton and Luo Qiu, but after returning from the trial, Caton was relatively silent, and the originally planned summary meeting was also canceled, and only Shang Hao and the others discussed the content of the trial by themselves.
Nan Yunwen's coming-of-age ceremony was held in the royal auditorium in Grantlin, the coming-of-age ceremony of the royal princess was actually not too grand, in the development of Grantlin in tens of thousands of years, the power of the royal family has long been left, and now among the three cities of the human race, the most powerful is the Kena family.
The Lin clan of Star-Moon City is only in charge of part of the administration and army of Star-Moon City, but because of the close connection between the Lin clan of Star-Moon City and the Snow Domain, as well as the Lin family's powerful star magic, the Lin family has always had an absolute right to speak in Star-Moon City.
The Grantlinnan Clan actually no longer holds any power, and the main power is all in the Grantlin administrative center, which is decided by ten administrators. Of course, the Nan clan still maintains a transcendent status, although they are not in power, they enjoy all the treatment that the royal family deserves.
Nan Yunwen's coming-of-age ceremony, although it was not too grand, was much grander than the ordinary coming-of-age ceremony. The Grantlin's slightly more prestigious family more or less had to be represented at the princess's coming-of-age ceremony.
In the hotel where everyone in Tianfeng Academy lived, Lin Xingyan and the others were preparing to leave for the royal auditorium to participate in Nan Yunwen's coming-of-age ceremony. Lin Xingyan said that Xiao Mingyue and Cheng Chen had already started to prepare, and Gnes, who had always been cold, went with them, but at this time, Clay and Huang Tianyang felt that time passed very slowly.
"Where has Shang Hao gone? I don't seem to have seen him since the morning?" Clay suddenly remembered that there was no one left, and looked around, but still couldn't find Shang Hao.
"He seems to have been picked up by Rhodes early in the morning, Rhodes looked for him last night, and I heard movement in his room before dawn today!" Huang Tianyang lives next door to Shang Hao and knows a little more than Clay, although he doesn't know what Shang Hao is going to do.
When a few of them were sitting in the hotel discussing Shang Hao, Shang Hao himself was very busy.
"Yes, that's the place"
"A little further to the left, it's wrong here, it's not right, rearrange !!"
"That water system magic crystal magic content is not pure enough, replace it!"
"The strength of this wind system magic crystal is too high, take a smaller one to exchange"
In front of him were Rod's two guard knights, plus Rod's and Shang Hao, a total of four people, who were constantly tinkering with a bunch of water and wind magic crystals against a huge wooden box.
This is what Shang Hao proposed to Rod, but this is only one time that Shang Hao has watched Carlo operate, and he doesn't know much about it. When Rod pulled him over to help with it, Shang Hao already regretted his proposal.
It's just that Rhodes himself has completely put all his hopes on the plan proposed by Shang Hao, and he refuses to change anything, so Shang Hao can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
The banquet of the royal family, the time is very strict, Shang Hao and Luo began to adjust this thing before dawn in the morning, until the sun sank day by day, and finally arranged all the magic crystals in this box according to certain rules and order before the banquet began, and after Rod tried twice without a problem, he closed the exquisite wooden box, carried it by two knights, and took it to the royal auditorium.
Raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, Shang Hao looked at the wooden box that was carried away and breathed a sigh. The production of this thing is too complicated, there are so many details in it, any mistake in any link may lead to the invalidity of all the layout, and it is really exhausting to spend a whole day adjusting every detail.
"Brother, thank you!" Rhodes looked at the box that had been carried away by the knight, his eyes were full of joy, although every time he debugged in the process, Rhodes was consuming mana, but he was very happy, and he did not show any tiredness.
"It's all a trivial matter, what's polite, let's go, we should go too!" Shang Hao gently patted Rode's shoulder, signaling that he didn't have to be polite.
Rhodes' place of residence is not very far from the royal auditorium, and it takes more than ten minutes to take a unicorn car, Rhodes walks in the front, Shang Hao walks side by side with him, and the two knights follow cautiously with wooden boxes, for fear that the magic crystals arranged in the wooden box will be disrupted because of their larger movements.
"Master Rod, please come in!"
Seeing Rod leading people over, the two guards guarding the door of the auditorium did not do any checks, bent down and saluted and let them go directly.
As the son of Prince Hobbes, Rhodes already had a prominent position in Grantlin, and he was very good at personal training with Nan Yunwen on weekdays, and most of these royal guards knew him.
Because of this wooden box, it was inconvenient for them to enter the main hall directly through the main entrance. Fortunately, Rod also often goes in and out of this auditorium, and he took Shang Hao and the two knights around to the back door, and arranged the two knights here to guard the wooden box, and Rod and Shang Hao walked in through the back door.
The two of them delayed for a long time to prepare the gifts, and there were less than ten minutes left before the ceremony officially began.
The huge main hall is already full of representatives of major families, and those who are qualified to participate in the princess's coming-of-age ceremony have no bad family background.
Rod didn't go to sit with the people of the Shelley family, but walked with Shang Hao towards the place where the people of the Tianfeng Academy were.
Since Shang Hao came in through the back door, none of the people in Tianfeng Academy noticed Shang Hao's arrival.
"Tianyang move a place to Buchen to Rod!" Shang Hao gently touched Huang Tianyang from behind, and Huang Tianyang was talking happily with Clay at this time.
"Ah, I thought you were gone, why didn't you come now. Huang Tianyang said as he moved a position in the direction of Buchen and gave Rod a seat.
Rod was not too polite, smiled and thanked him, and sat down.
"Didn't you help Rhodes prepare gifts, but I was a little late. Shang Hao said helplessly, he really didn't expect this thing to take so long.
"What have you prepared?" Xiao Mingyue looked over with some curiosity and asked with a smile.
"Ahem, this, I have to help Rhodes keep it a secret first!!" Shang Hao pretended to be deep and did not disclose the news.
"Hmph, forget it, I'll see it when the time comes anyway!" Xiao Mingyue pursed her lips, turned around and chatted with Lin Xingyan and the others, as active as ever.
The closer to the start of the banquet, the sound in the auditorium became quieter and quieter, until the bell struck six o'clock in the auditorium, and the whole scene was quiet except for the sound of breathing.
"Bell~~~Bell~~Bell~~"
Three crisp sounds echoed throughout the auditorium, marking the opening of the royal feast. With the appearance of these three sounds, all the lighting magic crystals in the auditorium were extinguished, leaving only a colorful magic crystal in the middle still flickering, and the brilliant but very soft light made the area at the front of the auditorium appear in front of everyone's eyes.
The maid held the skirt, and the master of this ceremony slowly walked up to the stage step by step from behind......
Today's Nan Yunwen is wearing a light blue ripple long skirt, which is decorated with embroidered clouds, and the pieces of cloud patterns add a bit of fairy energy, and the two bright earrings reflect her fair skin.
As she walked out, the royal music in the auditorium began to play, and all eyes in the auditorium were focused on her.
When Nan Yunwen stood still, the ten administrators sitting at the front got up together and greeted the people who came out from behind the stage. The jewel-inlaid crown, a symbol of the scepter of royal power, is the current king of Grantlin, Nanting.
As the king of Grantlin, he is also Nan Yunwen's father, the coming-of-age ceremony of the royal princess, and only the king of Grantlin can have this right to preside over the witness.
Nan Ting slowly walked in front of Nan Yunwen, and the maid who followed behind him was holding a sandalwood plate in her hand, and a small crown was lying quietly in it, compared to Nan Ting's crown, this one was smaller, and there were not so many jewels embellished, and they were all white pearls.
Putting the scepter in the hand of the maid, Nan Ting held the crown in both hands, picked it up very solemnly, and slowly put it on Nan Yunwen's head.
The moment she wears this crown, the royal family member is already a person who can represent the royal family, and everything she does in the future will represent the Nan royal family.
As the rhythm of the ritual music slowly stopped, Nan Ting also brought the crown for Nan Yunwen, followed by a speech.
Shang Hao has never been interested in these serious and somewhat boring speeches, and even more so Rhodes on the side, he has been practicing the way of using the wooden box in his heart at this time, for fear that there will be a mistake when giving gifts to Nan Yunwen.
When Nan Ting's speech ended, the ten administrators all sat down, Nan Yunwen said a few words, and there was a row of maids standing behind her again.
This is where the gifts that Rhodes has been carefully preparing for a long time come in handy. According to the Grantlin custom, at the rite of passage, all those who attended the ceremony were to send a blessing to the host, which could be anything, and not be confined to formality. Whether it's valuable jewelry, magic artifacts, or a simple word of blessing, you can send it.
It's just that the coming-of-age ceremony of the royal princess, it is an honor to be able to participate, and it is a recognition of a family, and how can the gifts given by these people be bad.
Rod's gift is not valuable, in the eyes of people who don't like it, this is a waste, but Rod feels that Nan Yunwen likes it, and that is the greatest value of this gift.
