Half-troll palace.
Dozens of marble pillars support the high glazed dome, and the morning sun is like a sharp sword, piercing straight down from the top, shining on the altar made of white glazed rocks.
Around the altar, there were half-trolls who came to watch the ceremony.
A few days ago, they were the most discriminated pariahs in the troll empire, but now, they have become the nobles of this new kingdom that is about to be established.
Such a change made all the trolls look as if they were drunk, their faces flushed and their eyes blurred.
Of course, they all know that this earth-shaking identity change is all because of one person——
Guardian of the North, Earl Angelet!
At this moment, in the half-troll's heart, Colin Angelet's status was even higher than the gods he believed in.
thump thump—
The solemn bell struck, and Colin led Gondwala Walkin into the hall.
This young half-troll had obviously never experienced such a scene, and was very nervous for a while, holding onto Colin's index finger tightly, as if he could gain a sense of security in this way.
Swish!
The half-troll nobles present stood up in unison, bowing and saluting.
It's just that the object of their salute was not Gondvala, the half-troll king who was about to succeed to the throne, but Colin.
Colin was wearing a red Earl's dress with a long sword around his waist, and his knight boots rattled on the marble floor.
At this moment, he is the focus of all eyes, the well-deserved protagonist.
The fanatical gazes cast by those half-troll nobles convinced Colin that he could order them to do anything, even to die.
When he came to the altar in the center of the palace, Colin stopped.
In front of them is a small holy water pool.
Archbishop Adjani, wearing a simple white priest robe, stood by the pool, with bare feet and a wreath of irises on his head, looking softly at Colin and Gondwala.
Colin let go of Gondwala's little hand, smiled at him, and stepped aside.
The melodious hymn immediately sounded, and a holy and solemn atmosphere enveloped the audience.
Gangwala was a little panicked, but in Adjani's gentle eyes, he still remembered the content that he had rehearsed countless times before, settled down, and stepped into the holy water pool.
Adjani's face straightened, and she said in a loud and clear voice:
"Lost lamb, suffering sinner, Gondwala Walkin, are you willing to cast aside your old prejudices and ignorance, and devote yourself wholeheartedly to the cause of serving the Lord of Radiance until your death?"
Gangwala nodded, and replied in a childish voice:
"I do!"
Adjani nodded in satisfaction, and signaled Gangwala to squat down and immerse herself in the water with her eyes, and said in her mouth at the same time:
"Dip in this pool and you will be separated from the filth;
Dip into this pool, and you will bid farewell to sin;
Dip into this pool and you will be reborn! "
When Gangwala's young body was submerged in the holy water, Ajani stretched out her right hand, and as for the surface of the pool, she said loudly:
"The glory of the Supreme Lord will always shine on your way forward!"
The sunlight penetrating down from the dome seemed to suddenly brighten up.
Gangwala poked his head out of the holy water, took a breath, and asked timidly:
"finished?"
Ajani smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Yes. From now on, you are a knight."
Only then did Gangwala come out of the holy water pool, and the two maids stepped forward quickly, helping Gangwala wipe the wet hair, and changed into a clean dress.
Colin took advantage of this gap and slowly climbed up to the altar.
A maid came to the altar with a tray containing the king's crown.
After packing up, Gangwala also came to the altar and knelt down on one knee.
Colin held the crown in both hands, and said solemnly:
"Gonvalla Volkin, today, under the gaze of the Supreme Lord, you are crowned King.
Put on the crown, you should pity the people of the half-troll kingdom and ensure their livelihood; you should protect the vassals of the Volkin family and give them glory; In glory...
Remember, you are the king of the half-trolls and the knight of the High Lord.
May the glory of the Supreme Lord always shine on your way forward, grant you strength and dignity, and be inviolable from generation to generation... "
Gangwala's small face was tense, and her eyes were full of confusion, obviously she couldn't understand what Colin was chanting.
All he knew was that he was going to be king.
As for what the king represented, he actually didn't have a clear concept.
And he didn't even understand the difference between the half-troll kingdom and the troll empire.
He only knew that he had to cooperate with the majestic uncle on the altar to finish the ceremony, otherwise he would have no dinner.
Gangwala actually wanted to know when he could see his father and mother, but his uncle said that he would wait until he grew up.
Therefore, Gangwala now very much wants to grow up quickly.
Colin finally finished his long prayer, and put the crown on Gondwala's head.
Gangwala only felt a heavy weight on the top of his head, which almost broke his tender neck.
But he still stood up unsteadily.
The surrounding half-troll nobles pulled out their long swords one after another, knelt down on one knee, and swore:
"My king, I swear allegiance to you, from today to forever!
Your will is the belief we guard, your order is the criterion we follow, and the point of your long sword is the direction we are moving forward! "
Gondvala responded loudly:
"I accept your allegiance!"
All the troll nobles then stood up again.
Afterwards, Okacz, who had just been accepted as a student by Adjani, walked out of the crowd and knelt down in front of Gangwala.
Gangwala took the scepter from the maid and handed it to Okatz, saying:
"Okatz, in the name of the king of the half-troll kingdom, I appoint you as the archbishop of the half-troll kingdom. I hope you will do your best to spread the gospel of our Lord in the half-troll kingdom!"
Okacz said loudly:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Next, Gondwala canonized the nobles of the half-troll kingdom in public, and appointed the prime minister and cabinet ministers of the kingdom.
Of course, these appointments must be Colin's idea, and Gondwala is just a mouthpiece, and he may not even know what the prime minister of the kingdom is.
Gondwala finished reading the letter of appointment according to the script, and then looked at Colin with searching eyes, as if to ask again—Are you ready
Colin smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
Only then did Gangwala heave a sigh of relief, announcing the end of the ceremony with a childish voice.
At this point, the half-troll kingdom was finally formally established.
This new country shaped by Colin will become the beginning and key of his plan to assimilate trolls. I believe that it won't be long before the race on the ice field that is hostile to the north will become weaker and weaker until it disappears completely.
