Chapter 39: Celebration
Just when the battle between the Northern Thor Fortress was in full swing. The city of Fernando is a jubilant scene, because today is the thirtieth birthday of the supreme ruler of the empire, Crewe-Fernando, and according to the laws of the empire, on the day of his 30th birthday, Crewe-Fernando will be crowned by the archbishop of the Church of Light. Fernando truly became the ruler of the entire imperial capital, with supreme rights, he could revoke the decree of the previous majesty, he could freely appoint and dismiss important personnel of the empire, and even only after this ceremony did it show that the supreme ruler of the empire was mature in mind before he could marry his empress.
This decree was made by Fernando I, the first ruler of the empire, because Fernando I knew that once the empire was passed down for hundreds of years, it was inevitable that the successor would be young, and if it was not restricted, it was likely that the empire would be turbulent due to the immaturity of the ruler. For example, the arbitrary appointment of officials leads to the erosion of state affairs, or they are addicted to women's waste of government affairs, etc.
Fernando XIII had great ambitions to make a difference, and he had been waiting for this day for a whole decade. At this moment, Crewe-Fernando is dressed in solemn and sacred clothes, and his face is full of excitement to sit in the lounge, and in a few moments, he will step on the royal viewing platform in the center of the central square of the imperial capital, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of subjects, to receive the Mass and blessings of the current archbishop of the Church of Light, Master Iber, after being personally worn by the archbishop with the bauhinia crown, Crewe-Fernando will take over the eternal morning scepter that symbolizes the supreme imperial power, and become the true master of this empire.
The thought that he could do exactly what he wanted, without any worries, to revitalize the empire once again, to renew the glory of his ancestors, Crewe-Fernando could no longer hold back, he stood up excitedly, walked around the lounge, and waved his fists from time to time and let out hearty laughter.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony is about to begin, so let's sit down and rest and relax. Catherine Randy, the royal magician standing beside her, whispered, "If you are too excited, you will inevitably feel a little tired in your heart while performing that tedious ritual." Sit back and drink a glass of the finest Bordeaux wine, a 198-year-old wine made by your ancestor, Fernando I. ”
When Crewe Fernando heard this, he turned his head and looked at Catherine Landy, who had a peerless appearance, and felt a wave in his heart, this young lady not only has great magical powers, but also is gentle, and she has benefited a lot from her dedication after becoming her royal magic advisor, and it seems that her original decision was not wrong.
"Aha, Randy. Crewe Fernando smiled and quipped, "Today is my coronation, how do you look more nervous than me?" ”
"What," said Catherine Randy, blushing, "Your Majesty, you are really playing such a joke with me." ”
Crewe-Fernando's heart fluttered when he saw Catherine Landy's appearance, and he was about to continue to say something, when suddenly a royal guard knocked lightly on the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, everything is ready." ”
When Catherine Randy heard this, she immediately returned to her usual appearance and said to Crewe Fernando in a serious manner: "Your Majesty, the time has come, please go." The palace is still a little bit away from the viewing platform, so don't delay. With that, she walked to the door and gently opened it.
When the royal guard, who was standing guard outside, saw that the door was opened, he immediately saluted with a standard courtesy, and Crewe-Fernando no longer had the kind look on his face towards Catherine Landy in front of the outsiders, but put on a very solemn expression, and strode out.
The royal guards held their chests high, raised their royal halberds as honor guards, and followed closely behind Crewe-Fernando. Catherine Ranti, who stayed in the lounge, had an intriguing look on her face.
The imperial capital is located at the southern end of the South Tarren prairie, and the entire area of the city is flat, and its highest point is the royal viewing platform in the center of the city. The Royal Viewing Deck is surrounded by the famous central square, which can accommodate a crowd of half a million, and when the imperial capital was built, all the important ceremonies of the entire empire were held here, and it has already witnessed the coronation of twelve emperors, and today, it welcomes the thirteenth.
In order to ensure the majesty of the royal family, and at the same time to allow more people to see His Majesty the King standing on the royal viewing platform, 200 years ago skilled craftsmen used the large stone left over from the construction of the city to build this viewing platform, the whole viewing platform is a 200 meters by 200 meters square, the top is divided into 5 floors, the highest place is a full 50 meters from the ground of the square. The Royal Viewing Platform is surrounded by four huge obelisks, the front of the viewing platform is a straight staircase, and on the other three sides of the viewing platform, there are smooth stone walls with delicate carvings that tell the story of the great events of the empire's founding, including the "Battle of Sunrise" to defeat the army of the undead, and the "Battle of Talon" to defeat the orc alliance.
Crewe Fernando stepped out of the carriage and stepped on the bright red wool carpet, and at the other end of the carpet was the top of the Royal Viewing Stand. The weather is very good, there is not a trace of clouds in the clear sky, and the eye-catching blue is refreshing, this is really a good day.
"It was my first step to the top. Crewe Fernando raised his head, looked at the blue sunny sky, and silently said to himself in his heart: "I believe that in the near future, my name will spread throughout the continent, and everyone will submit to my feet." ”
Crewe Fernando slowly walked up to the royal viewing platform, sat on the throne in the middle of the viewing platform, and several bishops who had been waiting on the side immediately shouted in unison: "The coronation ceremony begins!" With this shout, the royal band began to play, announcing the official start of Crewe Fernando's 30th birthday celebration and coronation ceremony, and the noisy central square soon calmed down, and more than 500,000 spectators quietly watched the royal viewing platform to witness this moment.
The whole ceremony went smoothly and soon reached the climax of the celebration. An old man in a yellow gown with a shawl embroidered with black tulips walked slowly towards Crewe-Fernando, and a few steps behind the old man were followed by two cardinals, one holding a tray, one with a crown and the other with a fine scepter.
Crewe Fernando stood up from his throne, and the old man in the yellow robe stood beside Crewe Fernando.
"Your Majesty, congratulations. ”
"Master Ibel, thank you very much for crowning me personally. ”
After a few brief words of politeness, Master Eber slowly recited a large section of the incantation, and a kind, pure power emanated from his body, slowly spreading in all directions. Standing not far behind Crewe-Fernando, Catherine Randy's pupils contracted violently, he knew that the magic that Ebel was preparing was called "Praise of Light", it was a powerful light magic, for humans, this magic could make the target's whole body full of strength, more agile, and clear mind, bursting out with infinite life force, but if the target was evil, it would become their nightmare, evil creatures, such as the undead, Demons and so on will immediately disappear in the face of this blessed power of the gods of light.
Catherine Randy's hands subconsciously moved, she was transformed from a lich to a human, and it was the first time that she had faced a life-and-death decision after coming to the human world for so long. Catherine Randy was unaware of the details of the reverse conversion ritual performed by her teacher, and although she was a person in question, she did not know that her current body had been subjected to the "Praise of Light" What kind of result will it be, but thinking about the tenacity and decisiveness, she forcibly controlled her emotions, first, she has an important mission, even if she has to retreat, and second, on this royal viewing platform, there are at least 2 archmages and 10 magiers stationed, as long as she moves slightly, she will definitely be discovered, and when the time comes, plus 1 archbishop of light and 10 cardinals who are undergoing the coronation ceremony, even if Catherine Randy maintains the form of a lich, there is no chance of winning.
Catherine Randy watched the white curtain of light spread towards her, and she stood there with a determination to die, and a look of excitement appeared on her face, as if she was blessing Crewe Fernando.
The light curtain shrouded Catherine-Randy's body, her body trembled slightly, but there was no painful feeling, on the contrary, Catherine-Randy came from the bottom of her heart a happy mood, she was slightly stunned, and her heart admired her teacher even more. The demigod Lich Cons's Lich Reverse Transformation Ritual can completely transform a Lich into an ordinary human, and only a small part of the Lich's strength will be lost after transformation, such as the Lich's unique "eternal life" talent.
In the moments when Catherine lost consciousness, Master Eber had already picked up the Bauhinia Crown, and Crewe-Fernando lowered his head slightly, allowing Master Eber to place the crown on his head without any problems. Next, Master Ebel picked up the Eternal Morning Light Scepter, which symbolized the supreme imperial power, and raised his hands high above his head, Catherine-Randy looked at Master Ibel's hands, only to find that a black vortex had appeared in the originally blue sky.
