On the birthday of God, he was riding a horse on the Avenue of Triumph. Under the envious eyes of the nobles, Lord Marshall, wearing a golden bull armor, rode a war horse and shone in the sun. The golden light surrounded his body, even the clothes beneath him. The white horses were dyed gold.
Abel quietly put his war horse a few steps behind Lord Marshall, and walked side by side with the two stewards who were also riding horses. Today is Lord Marshall's day of glory. Although it is also his, his vision is much higher than these, regardless of whether it is Lord Marshall's day of glory. The status of a young mid-level knight or a master blacksmith is enough to give him the status he deserves in any principality.
The palace was not as gorgeous as Abel imagined. It had the same white walls and red roof on the outside. It was more gigantic and majestic. Under the guidance of the palace attendants, Lord Marshall and Abel walked into the political center of the Principality of Kamai. , the center of power.
Passing through the gate of the palace, what comes into view is a white stone pavement, with statues of 12 knights on both sides. Ken gently told Abel that these statues are the founding knights who made great contributions to the founding of the country, and the third knight among them The statue is the founder of the Harry family.
Walking further, we reached the meeting hall of the palace, which was the place where honors were awarded. When Lord Marshall and Abel arrived, other honorees were already waiting there, and the nobles also entered slowly.
Different from the appearance of the palace, the meeting hall was extremely luxurious. From the moment he entered the meeting hall, Abel felt like he was struck by golden light. Both the walls and the columns with carved patterns were all wrapped in gold. , even the crystal chandeliers hanging in the air are golden, and the lit lights also emit golden light.
The top of the roof, which is 30 meters above the ground, is a huge oil painting depicting scenes of gods and demons fighting.
The ground is paved with a dark golden material and is polished like a mirror. People's reflections can be clearly seen, and the golden color of the entire meeting hall is once again visible on the ground.
Lord Marshall's golden bull armor blends in with the surroundings eerily in this environment, as if he is a statue here.
"Marshall, why didn't you come back to the family?" A handsome old man who looked similar to Lord Marshall came up to them and said. From this tone, it was clear that not only did he know Lord Marshall, but being able to talk to him so politely showed that he was very familiar with them.
"Father!" To Abel's surprise, Lord Marshall, who usually talks about old guys every time he talks about the Harry family in Gamba City, is like a mouse seeing a cat, his voice is small and shrunken. Yes, there is no complacency on the road at all.
"Put your chest up, what do you think? You are now the patriarch of the family." The old man patted Lord Marshall's back unceremoniously. Lord Marshall's bowed body suddenly straightened up, and then the old man Said: "You have done well recently. You even exchanged your military exploits for the Lord to go home and see your mother when you have time."
"You must be Abel. I am Earl Brooke Harry, Marshall's father. We are a family!" Earl Brooke said to Abel with a friendly smile, making people think that Abel was his biological son. Lord Marshall was an outsider.
"Hello, Grandpa Brook!" Abel quickly bowed and saluted.
"My family, don't be so polite!" Earl Brooke helped Abel up and said with a smile.
Earl Brooke turned his head and looked around. Not many nobles came, and they were all talking softly. No one paid much attention to this, so he turned back to Lord Marshall and softly cursed: "You are still the same as when you were young. With the same recklessness, can you go to Gamba City at this time?"
"Father, what's wrong?" Lord Marshall asked somewhat unclearly.
"After the award is over, leave Gamba City as early as possible and don't stay too long." Earl Brooke said directly without explaining too much.
Abel looked at the serious-faced Earl Brooke and couldn't help but secretly thought that there would be some huge changes in Gamba City recently
"His Majesty King Spender George of the Principality of Kamai has arrived!"
As the voice of the attendant came, all the nobles present stopped talking and returned to their own positions. Only five honorees were left standing in the middle of the huge hall.
Wearing a gorgeous dress made of red silk and a dark red cloak, King Spender George of the Principality of Kamai walked into the hall. At this time, everyone had bowed to greet him, until Spender George When the king sat on the throne in the middle, he straightened up again.
At this time, Abel had discovered that King Spender George's face was very ugly. Even if he was wearing red clothes, he could not hide the sick look on his face. Through spiritual induction, he directly felt the king's vitality. The fire is gradually weakening and dimming.
"Marshall Harry is knighted!" the aide shouted.
Lord Marshall, who was covered in golden armor, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of everyone. He lowered his head and knelt down respectfully in front of his king with a solemn and solemn expression.
King Spender George stood up, took a long sword from the hands of the chamberlain, gently patted Lord Marshall's left and right shoulders, and said in his mouth: "Lord Marshall, you will wake up from a nightmare, Fight for your lofty ideals!”
Lord Marshall raised his head and said loudly: "I will give you my loyalty!"
Perhaps for Lord Marshall, this was the most important thing in his life. The ceremony was solemn and sacred, but the briefness of the royal investiture ceremony was far beyond Abel's imagination. It was only completed by the king waving his long sword and just two sentences of dialogue. the whole process.
Abel didn't quite agree with this ritual. He knew that it was a simplified symbol of military conquest and forced allegiance among early humans. It symbolized that the king had conquered the recipient with a sword, and also Shows that the king has the ability and authority to punish disloyalty.
What followed was the investiture ceremony for the other three honorees, and finally Abel, dressed in blue armor, knelt on one knee in front of the king.
When the sword in King Spender George's hand was placed on Abel's shoulder, Abel clearly felt the vibration of the sword. The ailing old man in front of him had spent too much time presiding over this ceremony. energy.
"Master Abel, you are the youngest eagle in the Principality of Kamai. You are an unparalleled genius. Please always remember that you are from the Principality of Kamai!" King Spender George said softly before the ceremony. , then said: "Lord Abel, you will wake up from the nightmare and fight for your lofty ideals!"
Abel exclaimed: "I will give you my allegiance!"
The child's voice, whose voice had just changed, resounded throughout the hall. Such a young Lord of Heraldry made all the nobles lament his youth.
King Spender George took out a coat of arms with a golden oriental dragon on a black background, and hung the coat of arms on Abel's chest.
This coat of arms was designed by Abel and handed over to the palace for production. No matter which world he was in, he believed that he was the descendant of the dragon, so the coat of arms depicts an Eastern five-clawed dragon.
When Abel and Lord Marshall left the palace, the originally sunny sky became a little dark, and dark clouds began to cover the sky. When they returned to the mansion on Triumph Avenue, there was thunder in the sky, and lightning pierced the sky.
Abel's mental power was very confused at this time, and his spiritual sense made him feel the restlessness and restlessness of the city.
I sensed the position of the white cloud in my heart. The white cloud is now above the clouds in the sky dozens of miles away from Gamba City. From there to Abel, the white cloud can fly to Abel in a short time. This makes Abel feel a little relieved. No matter In any case, there is no problem with the retreat, the most is to expose Baiyun's existence.
He also ordered twenty knight attendants and ten black-armored warriors to strictly guard and increase the number of patrols. Only then did Abel return to his room with peace of mind.
Gamba City was washed by heavy downpours until the evening. It seemed that the city could be heard wailing, and a heavy atmosphere hung over the capital.
