76 Choosing The New Lord (1/2)
***
After a few days of rescuing and mild rehabilitation efforts, the remaining citizens of the water elemental realm have gathered in preparation for the next chosen lord of the said realm. Right now, what they need the most is a responsible lord that will guide them to their next revival.
With the social balance and chaos everywhere, a strong leader with justice and will are what they needed the most. Thus, they must choose the lord as soon as possible and hope for the best.
Despite the massive destruction caused by the previous battle, everyone's hope is anchored to the selection of the new Lord, whom they hope, will bring them back to their former glory and splendor.
With everyone gathered at the vast outer courtyard of the golden palace, their eyes are glued to Elric whom they believe currently possess the strongest power in the entire water realm.
”It should be given that the human will be the next Lord right?”
”I don't think so. He is human and not a native of our land. I think the holy providence will choose someone between the three royal daughters of the late Lord Mahar.”
”If it's not the human, then I bet the next lord should be the oldest one of the three princesses.”
”You mean Danna? I think she does make a good Lord with her calm and responsible attitude.”
”I agree too.”
Every one of the water realms talked about the possible candidate for the Lord of the water realm while they wait for the Divine Providence.
Despite their prejudices of Elric's humanity, none of them could refute his dominating performance against Aghus. However, it is exactly because of his humanity that none can confirm if it was really going to be Elric as the new chosen lord.
Everyone gathered at the center square of the grand golden palace. This center square is where they held their lord selection where a three-kilometer-wide magical formation encompasses everyone inside.
With every citizen and colorful creatures of the water elemental realm inside the vast magical circle, only then will the Holy Providence of light comes out and enters a body and be hailed as the new lord of the water realm.
The survivor merfolks and creatures of the water realm awaited for the divine provision to choose for the next lord of the water realm with their utmost excitement.
After a constant bickering from the three princesses, Elric was also forced to attend the gathering and witness the ascension of the new lordship. He never had a single thought of becoming the new lord of the water realm as it would only impede his mission on acquiring the Four Elemental Authority.
As of now, he could only wield not more than ten percent of the Ancestral Dragon's power or risk himself on falling again at the overwhelming takeover of the mental and spiritual corruption.
And according to the Great Seer Mhata, only by acquiring all Elemental Authorities would he be able to resist and control the massive pressure from unleashing the power of the Ancestral Dragon.
As more citizens had gathered at the center square of the grand golden palace, the formation on the floor that decides the new lord of the water realm started to release a faint blue light.
