Chapter 80 ‘Ritual’(2/2)
When Enan Mordekaiser appeared, many Chosen Ones cheered in the crowd, which attracted strange looks from the natives. Sophie saw this scene and couldn't help but shake her head: "... quite
Retarded."
What she said is that nature is the chosen one
Fang Yu also understood in his heart that the actions of the selector would only harm the opponent's status in the Phoenix family, but who cares about this? In the minds of most aborigines, these are lawless people.
The Duke also frowned, but the Consul looked at this scene with some amusement.
The group of riders all turned back to look at the young man. The latter sighed and just looked around, looking a little worried.
Fang Yu looked at this handsome and extraordinary young man, and couldn't help but look back at Sylvester. However, the ship officer seemed to still be thinking about what happened before, and didn't care at all about anyone passing by in front of her.
Only after a while did she notice Fang Plover's gaze, and then she raised her head and looked at him with eyes that looked like the shallow sea in a funny way: "What are you looking at, Captain?"
"No, it's nothing..."
Sylvester showed a clear look in her eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, but smiled lightly and did not expose him.
A group of knights walked slowly towards the center of the square, where there was a platform. Not far from the platform, the Duke dismounted, and the others also dismounted and walked forward. The knight's long black cloak was trailing in the snow.
Among the ground, it is particularly eye-catching.
A group of people walked onto the stone platform, and the ceremony seemed to have reached the most important moment. The square was silent, and everyone waited with bated breath.
At this time, the Duke turned around and raised the Holy Phoenix Sword with both hands. After the old bishop blessed him, he pulled out the Holy Sword with a clang. The long sword reflected a ray of fire and seemed to be shining brightly in the snow, making everyone endure.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes and look back.
But the next moment, when people looked at the holy sword in Duke Mordekaiser's hand, they all let out a low cry of admiration.
The Holy Sword is actually no different from an ordinary long sword.
Only the bright light of the sword blade was swaying against the firelight. The sword was about three feet long and gradually narrowed from back to front, forming a shape like a dragon's tongue. There was a hidden flame texture on it, winding upward along the spine of the sword.
.
What people admire is not so much the sword, but the pride of Duron. Once a year, they witness its elegance here.
Duke Mordekaiser then raised his sword, pointed at the front of the square, and said in a calm voice:
"People of Duron."
"With the blessings of our ancestors, we can expand our territory here."
"The Phoenix Sword has witnessed the history of Dulan, and also witnessed our blood and sweat here from generation to generation."
"It's a symbol of the South"
"It's also a portrait of perseverance."
"The soul of the phoenix will be born from the fire."
"And we too will perish from the fire."
"People from the south, please gather here."
"Listen to this ancient voice."
On the square, everyone raised their heads and stared at this moment. It seems that on this day every year, the ancient souls also gather in the sky in this square. They lower their heads and watch silently for thousands of years.
Come to this land.
with their descendants.
In the night sky, the light of the fireworks had long since disappeared, and after the scattered dust fell to the ground, only the empty sky was left. It was a winter night, and there were not even a few distant stars left. It was lonely and pitch black.
Duke Mordekaiser pointed his holy sword at the sky.
At this moment, a red light jumped from the sword and seemed to reach the sky.
However, a voice stopped the ceremony at this moment, "Wait a moment." The stern voice suddenly passed through the square, making everyone frown. The interruption of the ceremony was a bad sign.
But the person who spoke was the consul next to Duke Mordekaiser, and the citizens in the square dared not speak out even if they were angry.
As for the electors, they just came to watch the fun.
It's obviously a good time right now.
So of course no one has any opinions.
The Duke stopped the movements of his hands, just frowned secretly, turned around, and looked at this colleague from the royal family. He didn't show anything on his face, he only asked calmly: "Do you have any, Lord Consul?"
What’s your opinion?”
"It's nothing," the consul calmly shook his head: "I just heard that the Phoenix Soul is famous for its justice. The situation in the south has been unstable recently. My people have captured some rebels. I want them to face the Holy Sword.
Identify your accomplices."
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of discussion in the square.
The Holy Sword is kept in the temple. When can it not be used? It happens to be at this time. The other party is clearly looking for trouble. Why is the situation in the South Territory chaotic? The world does not say it, but naturally it is clear in their hearts.
The trouble was not caused by the prime minister.
However, people discussed and discussed, but could not raise objections. They only looked at the Duke, hoping that the ruler of the southern region would rebuff this unreasonable request.
But Duke Mordekaiser was silent for a moment and asked: "Rebellion?"
"This is also what the Prime Minister meant," the consul replied, "Besides, isn't it just a matter of convenience?"
Duke Mordekaiser glanced at him and finally nodded.
The consul smiled coldly: "I know that the Duke is loyal."
Duke Mordekaiser remained silent. However, the consul had achieved his goal and did not press further. He only turned around and waved. At this time, the crowd parted and a group of people walked out from below. Only then did people realize that the other party had been prepared.
The 'rebellious gangs' sent up were old and young, and most of them were adventurers, but there were no chosen ones. Most of the chosen ones were unruly, and even if they were caught by mistake, most of them would choose to commit suicide immediately.
Since these people are 'rebellious parties', they will naturally not receive any good treatment. Everyone is in ragged clothes and shivering in the snow. On this cold night, everyone in the square felt pity when they saw this scene.
, the crowd couldn't help but take a step back.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little strange for a moment.
Fang Yu looked at the people in the stands below. He didn't know any of them. Most of them were locals. However, a good ceremony turned into a trial meeting, which made him a little disappointed.
He glanced at Sylvester again, thinking that the noble daughter should be considered a member of the 'rebellious party' at this moment?
But just because he didn't know him, it didn't mean that someone didn't know him. The swordsman 'Forest' who had spoken before actually whispered: "It's Mr. Palomo!?"
Fang Yu was stunned and followed the other person's gaze, only to see a white-haired old man. "Who is that?" he asked. The forest then shook his head and replied incredulously: "He is Ms. Miranda's."
Old servant."
"Ms. Miranda's old servant?" Uncrowned Crown said before that Ms. Miranda took them in for a while under the instruction of Phios, but later the matter was revealed and they had to leave Dulon.
Therefore, it was not surprising that the other party was arrested. However, Fang Plover looked at those people and asked, "What about Ms. Miranda? Is she among them?"
He had seen Miranda's portrait, but there didn't seem to be such an outstanding lady among the people on stage.
'Forest' had a sad look in his eyes, and replied somewhat sadly: "I heard that the prime minister had convicted Ms. Miranda of treason and had her hanged..."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this.
He subconsciously thought of the lady with a warm smile on the picture frame, and was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. No wonder the Uncrowned Crown's tone was like that when he mentioned this lady. When he looked in that direction again, he suddenly felt "
There was a thud.
I vaguely thought of something not so good.
