Chapter 242 Triumphal Ceremony
For some reason that will not be explained to outsiders, the legendary hero Black Iron Duke, who has always been like a brother to King Siat and in people's hearts, stayed at home instead of coming to the capital to attend the triumphal ceremony.
The reason he gave to the outside world was that the continuous wars had a great impact and he needed to adjust his emotions and state.
However, Ariel, the "Man of Stars", left with the Fisher family and went to the Siat Capital.
Darren and his party finally arrived at the Siat Capital. They saw a constant stream of carriages on the vast streets, and busy people coming and going, forming a busy and orderly picture.
Landmark buildings such as museums and theaters stand in various parts of the city, and there is also a tall kingdom clock tower, showing the world the glorious history and prosperous present of the Siat Capital.
"This is the Siat Capital! That is the Kingdom Clock Tower!"
Many people in the Fisher family were very excited, and all Siat people had an unspeakable yearning for the capital.
After leaving the carriage, Darren also looked at everything here silently.
It is indeed a great city. The Kingdom Clock Tower in the center of the city is very tall and outstanding. It is said that it is the first building built by the Syat people to record the time of Syat people's existence to the gods.
Will Nasir be as prosperous as the capital in the future?
He murmured to himself, "The capital of Siat is a nice place. It is much more prosperous than Finn City, and it is not so dirty and messy. It can be seen that the city's managers are good at planning."
Ariel also got off the family carriage and explained calmly:
"That's not the case. The capital was actually crowded because of too many foreign populations more than ten years ago. It was not until King Siat adopted the decision of a close minister to build multiple towns near the capital that the population pressure was alleviated."
That is indeed a solution. Darren nodded slightly and asked, "So that's it. Who is that close minister? Which big family are they from?"
Ariel's beautiful appearance is very eye-catching, and what is even more eye-catching is the emblem of the Roman family on the carriage. Everyone will salute respectfully when they see her, with respect in their eyes.
She glanced at Darren and explained calmly:
"That close minister is a silver court mage, who is considered to be a member of the Yadley royal family. Although she has not married anyone from the royal family, she is still deeply bound."
"She may be one of the few silver monarchs on the continent. She is very talented and smart. It is not easy for her to reach the monarch level in a short lifespan."
Silver.
Darren was slightly stunned. He had heard since he was a child that there was a powerful silver court mage in the Siat court. He didn't expect that the character in the story would come to him.
The lifespan of the silver is short, and only a very small number of geniuses have the opportunity to reach the monarch level. Unfortunately, that can't change the various problems that exist in the ethnic group itself.
He smiled and asked: "So, respected Ms. Ariel, what is the name of the silver court mage?"
Ariel answered without hesitation: "'Silver Poetry' Afafu."
She still hopes to have a good relationship with the Fisher family. The previous coercion was a bit too disgusting, and she must be gentler in the future.
Ariel also reflected on her hot temper. However, the inheritance she cultivated was related to emotions. The more irritable the emotions, the stronger the spellcasting power would be, so she often used anger to solve problems.
After such situations happened more and more, she would often get angry subconsciously.
Unfortunately, Ariel knew one thing very well. The old man did not want the family to be inherited by an emotional person.
Unless she was the only monarch left in the family.
Silver Poem.
"I remember it."
Darren nodded to indicate that he remembered it. Silver Poem, it sounds like an interesting nickname.
At this moment, the silver-haired boy Kano laughed and couldn't help asking a question: "Actually, I've always been very curious, why do so many extraordinary people have nicknames? Is it because everyone's name is hard to remember? Hahaha!"
Ariel also looked at the boy for a while, and continued to explain:
"In fact, people in the folks like to give nicknames, and many nicknames are not actually given by civilians, but by a group of idle people in the church."
Kano was stunned for a while, and asked in confusion: "You mean people in the church?"
This is the first time he has heard of this statement.
When Darren heard "church", he couldn't help but think of the person who saved him in Rhea. She was a person in the church, and it was said that she would go to the East Coast in the future.
At that time, he and her can communicate more, which will be of great help to the Fisher family.
Ariel nodded slightly and continued:
"In fact, many clergy in the church are idle. They have no extraordinary powers and do nothing on weekdays. They are extremely idle. You can even say that they are just a group of lazy pigs."
"And there is a group of people from various orthodox churches who call themselves "recorders". They do a lot of inexplicable things, such as often giving nicknames to various extraordinary people."
She paused, her expression became subtle:
"Basically, half of the nicknames of the monarchs are given by the people of the "recorder" organization."
Ah?
Darren and Kano were both stunned. They didn't expect that there was such an organization in the church.
"This group of 'recorders' is really idle and has nothing to do. They support many scholars and artists to mess around. Over the past thousand years, many new things have really appeared because of their support, such as ice cream, sparkling wine, and theorems in mathematics, physics, and alchemy."
"Is that so? Then I am very grateful for their 'messing around'."
Darren touched his chin calmly. There are indeed many people who are wealthy and have no extraordinary powers. After being tired of eating, drinking and having fun, they will do some seemingly meaningless things.
But those things may not really be meaningless. On the contrary, they may gradually change the world.
Kano squinted his eyes and muttered: "I see, I also want to be a member of the 'Recorder', but can I not join the church?"
Darren laughed and couldn't help saying: "You just want to eat, drink and have fun, eat and wait for death, right?"
Kano smiled and explained:
"Everyone's path is different. What's wrong with eating, drinking and having fun? After all, many things depend on fate. Who says that eating and waiting for death must be a bad life? Maybe it will be more comfortable?"
What he meant was that even if I eat and wait for death, I can still master the power of sequence, but I can't say it in front of Ariel.
Darren couldn't help wondering if Kano could still be as free and easy as he is now if he really encountered a life-and-death crisis.
If he can still do it, then Kano is indeed a great person.
But he still said very frankly: "Kano, I don't know why, I hate people like you a little bit, it's like you don't have any obsessions, don't care about anything, we are just standing on opposite sides of the world."
"Okay."
Kano shut up, and decisively noticed that Brother Darren was in a bad mood. Brother Darren could be very relaxed in front of others, but he would be very unhappy every time he talked to him too much.
A few days later, the triumphal ceremony of Syat finally began.
People in the city square gathered together, waiting for this grand triumphal ceremony with full expectations. A gorgeous stage was built in the center of the square, decorated with gorgeous garlands and ribbons, shining with dazzling lights.
As the pleasant music sounded, the drums and trumpets were loud, the soldiers lined up neatly, and the brave Syat soldiers stood on the stage in their battle robes, and the colorful flags fluttering in the air danced in the breeze.
When the team welcoming the victors appeared, the audience burst into deafening cheers. Their marching steps were sonorous and powerful, telling of their fearless bravery and joy of victory.
The victors were dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing laurel wreaths on their heads and holding sharp swords as symbols of glory, showing their brilliant achievements.
The Fisher family finally saw King Syat standing on the high platform.
He was dressed in gorgeous royal robes, wearing a crown on his head, holding a fiery red scepter, with a solemn and dignified manner, and his words were rigorous and powerful.
"The victory of the Syat people is foreseeable. We are better than the Rhea people. That is a well-known fact. I will prove to people that the Syat people will rise again and become the most glorious nation on the Oden continent!"
"The gods bless us. Everyone present believes that the future of the Syat people will be an invincible future!"
At the triumphal ceremony, King Syat gave an inspiring speech, praising the achievements of the heroes in this war. Fireworks bloomed in the sky, drawing brilliant arcs and lighting up the entire city.
The short and fat man on the left side of King Syat, wearing glasses, does not look like a big shot at all. He is completely ignored by the public. He is the famous "useless prime minister".
On the surface, Syat was completely modeled after the system of the Loen people, but King Syat did not really want to hand over power to others, so whether it was the cabinet or the useless prime minister, they had no actual power and presence at all.
The person Darren was most concerned about, besides King Siat, was the short silver-haired woman standing on his right. She had a delicate face and a gentle expression, and looked non-aggressive.
Silver-born court mage.
Silver Poetry.
——
Valley of Bones.
"Still haven't found a way out."
Byrne shook his head slowly, looked at the lush fields in front of him, and calmly thought about how to leave.
"Dragon Tamer" Aldridge summoned the soil through his mysterious artifact "Ring of the Earth", and with the natural power of the Emerald Elf March, he planted a field in the valley, and the various crops produced were enough for the five people trapped here to eat for hundreds of years.
In fact, March was a little unhappy at first. She kept saying why Aldridge had such a thing, and if he didn't take it out from the beginning, she wouldn't have to eat those bad dry food.
However, even if the food problem was solved, they were still full of anxiety, and no one wanted to be trapped here all the time.
Only Aldridge had a good mentality, and from the beginning he was more determined than everyone present, as if it didn't matter if he was trapped here for a lifetime.
He always arranges everyone's work with a tight mind, and never shows even a little negative emotion.
Byrne couldn't help but look up to the heir of the Roman family. No wonder he was designated as the heir. Compared with him, the "Man of the Stars" was like a irritable child.
"There is no way to leave. Do I have to stay here forever? Ah ah ah ah!"
Zain, who was kneeling in the field, yelled. His mentality was very bad. He kept pulling out his hair like he was going crazy. He prayed to the Storm Lord almost every day, but there was no response.
He doesn't like to eat any plants, but prefers meat and fish. After half a year, he wants to vomit when he sees fruits and vegetables.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way."
Byrne nodded gently and tried to comfort him with words, but it didn't work.
He turned around to look for Chris, who had been disappearing recently and didn't know where he went.
"Chris, Chris, where are you?"
When he was looking for Chris in the valley, he suddenly found that the surroundings were foggy again!
Huh?
After more than half a year, the fog came again, and many past memories suddenly came to his mind. Byrne subconsciously became alert!
