Release that Witch Chapter 1030: Ascension ceremony
"This guy ... is too presumptuous," said Nightingale, who was born in the mist, dissatisfied, "she said that it was What does it mean!"
Indeed, since the last time I talked to Pearl of the Northern Lands about noble disposal by Iron Axe, her attitude has changed faintly, as if giving a sense of self-relaxation. Although it is not bad for Roland.
"Yeah ..." He pondered for a moment, "Can you judge the truth of this sentence?"
"It's true," Nightingale poked, "At least I didn't lie about hoping that you pay attention to your body, otherwise I would have controlled her and asked exactly."
"If that's the case, follow her." Roland laughed. "If everyone has to guess, it's too tiring. I don't have that much energy."
The Nightingale, which was originally unsettled, suddenly lags, and then pretends to carelessly turn his head away. "Speaking and speaking ... I usually worry about one or two people."
Well, your level of disguise is like putting all your thoughts on your face. Roland tried to hold back the corner of his mouth that he wanted to lift and cleared his throat. "So let's go back to the office, there is still a lot of work to be done."
For example, putting two internal combustion engines that have passed the type test into a light power source is only the first step. How to mass-produce and manufacture matching mechanical equipment are urgent problems to be overcome. In addition, there are the design and assembly of armored trains, the production of biocolloids, and the expansion of more factories and the army ...
But compared to another thing, he can put aside these tasks.
Although it does not have much meaning in itself, it is essential to gather public opinion after this form.
The moment the Olivia arrives at the Neverwinter City, it means that the conditions before the ascension are all ready.
*******************
A week later, the Neverwinter City fort was opened to the public for the first time. Under the guidance of the police and personal guard, thousands of screened people gathered inside and outside the courtyard, excitedly waiting for the new King coronation moment to come. Outside the castle district, the streets are lit with lights and crowds, even if the sky is still sporadic snowflakes, it cannot stop people's enthusiasm for celebration.
For the ceremony, the feudal lord castle has also been temporarily renovated.
The exterior wall of the vestibule was removed and replaced with a fence that did not obstruct the view; the furnishings in the yard were also removed and a flat grass field was laid. As long as you climb up the castle area along the long slope, you can see the entire ceremony site.
A long banner with red and black borders hangs on both sides of the castle, which hangs from the roof to the ground. This color combination is particularly striking in the snow-covered background, and also adds to this not-so-magnificent castle. A sense of weight.
The biggest change comes from the second floor of the castle
As if overnight, a diagonal brace was erected on the bare façade, leaving a semi-empty terrace on the second floor. The front of the terrace is just facing the vestibule door. There is no doubt that King will accept the blessing of citizen here.
Only the designer, Karl, knew that this fast-complete platform structure was from the hand of witch. Ms. Agatha extended the ice wall on the castle wall, and then Ms. Soraya "painted" a masonry layer. It became an indistinguishable part of the castle.
In such weather, a thick wall of ice is sufficient for several days.
...
At the moment there is another scene in the castle.
"Your Majesty, are you ready?" Wendy asked from outside the bedroom door, "All ministers and guests have arrived, just waiting for you to show up."
"I know, it's all right." Roland responded, turned to look at the girl in a pure white dress, "What do you think?"
"Wait a minute ... I'm still a little nervous," the other is Anna. She stood in front of the window sill and looked down at the crowd below through the curtain. Do you really want to go on stage with me? The ceremonial officer said that such things have never happened in the past ceremony. "
She is not as fearless as he thinks. Roland realizes that although Anna has always used smiley faces before, when this moment comes, she will still be worried and confused. Outstanding in her studies and her love of new knowledge made her confident most of the time. When she devoted her body and mind to creation and manufacturing, she was as brilliant as a genius. But apart from these auras, she was just a girl in her early twenties who grew up in a remote town.
Now that you are facing thousands of people's eyes, it is impossible if you are not nervous?
Thinking of this, Roland smiled and said in the softest voice, "Then I'll be the first person to make an exception. Or do you want me to crown myself alone?"
"Of course not," Anna shook his head, "I just ..."
Roland stepped forward and hugged her with open hands, "Then I'll change it."
"Why ... say?"
"Yeah," he took a breath and asked seriously, "Miss Anna, I want to hire you to be my wife, would you?"
"Well," Anna couldn't help laughing, "No! I'm not a prisoner in the cage now, and ..."
"And what?"
"The time for the contract is too short." She hammered Roland's shoulder hard, and then stretched out his right hand wearing white gauze, "Thank you, Roland. Take me down."
Roland held her palm firmly, "As you bid."
...
Open the door, and the two walk slowly across the corridor, down the stairs, and enter the first floor hall.
The hall, which was still full of vocals, immediately quieted down, and everyone divided into two columns, bowing their heads slightly, and welcoming the arrival of Roland.
He walked along the line to the left and it was witches of Neverwinter City. He saw Tilly, Ash, Nightingale, Wendy, Lightning, Agatha ... one by one familiar faces reflected in his eyes, compared to nowhere to stay three years ago. refugee, they have now reintegrated into the new social order and are becoming an inseparable part of the human kingdom.
On the right are City Hall officials and representatives from various places, such as Barov, Edith, Iron Axe, Karl, Cam, Tasa, Hugo, etc ... They together formed the power organization of Kingdom of Greycastle, becoming ordinary people from unknown names, Rising political star.
Conventionally, ascending to the throne will be a very tedious process, but for witch and Neverwinter City officials, the king of Roland is already an established fact, so this process has been greatly simplified.
He took the hand of Anna to the center of the hall and placed a stone table with two golden crowns standing on the table.
Wimbledon III or Hermes Church are no longer there. He declined the request from the etiquette officer for labor, but decided to wear a crown with Anna.
The ascension of the crown and the post-season are simultaneously performed. It is unprecedented in Greycastle.
The etiquette officer naturally expressed dissent, but it was absolutely non-binding for him in power, and Barov unexpectedly came to his side.
Roland bent down, let Anna wear a crown for herself first, and then gently put another back crown on top of her head.
When the two turned around, everyone simultaneously kneeling on one knee went down.
"Long live my king!"
In the voice of these people, he took Anna's hand and stepped towards the stepped platform at one end of the hall, passed through the overhead dome, and boarded the castle terrace.
The turbulent waves immediately set off below the courtyard!
While waiting for him to raise his hand, the crowd who has been waiting for a long time has let out their respect.
"Long live Your Majesty Roland!"
"Long live King!"
"Long live Neverwinter City!"
The cheering sound was deafening and straight into the sky. The crowd seemed to explode, and ribbons and petals sprinkled from the terrace. As the cold wind fluttered, it covered the momentum of snow and ice for a while.
In the distance, there was a roar of cannon in the camp of First Army, and it echoed the bells of shrill cry over the city. At the intersection of this wild wilderness and the border of Western Region, Greycastle's King was born.
