176 Chinas founding of the Peoples Republic of China (1/2)
Masaru stands in the center of the altar, wearing a white robe embroidered with gold thread and a priestly uniform that he secretly made in the night.
Facing him, in the hall, in the front two rows, are the chief figures of the kingdoms of Greitas and Bazelarca. Lulu, the head of the Rabbit People, the representative of the original settlement of Vintaria, Zita and Mei, and the representatives of the various races sat quietly in their seats.
The mithril candlesticks were polished and evenly arranged, and the candles were pure white... The smell was faintly herbal, and the candles produced no smoke or soot, making you wonder if you were dreaming.
Candles in this world have a slightly peculiar smell, and they also produce a little smoke and soot.
”Now, the sacred artifacts!
A sacred object is a sign that the king has received a blessing from the gods when he is recognized as the representative of the kingdom, and the blessing is usually placed on a crown.
The door opened quietly, and Adelina, wearing a pale pink dress, and Zarg, wearing the standard black ceremonial dress, walked in holding a silver tray of mithril. Everyone watches with bated breath as the tray is gently placed on the altar.
”Now, let us call upon the gods. Let us invoke the gods.
Adelina and Zarg move to the edge of the altar, and those seated rise and kneel in place.
Adelina and Zarg moved to the edge of the altar. .
Soft light leaked from the top of the altar, and three figures descended to the altar.
As a matter of fact, when the gods appear, there is no such thing as light shining on them, but Masaru saw this as a weak point in the production, so he and Zeraphitis worked together to create a device that causes the crystal to glow when the switch is pressed.
Whether it is a fine art or a waste of effort is a delicate matter.
”Today, I bless this place as the Kingdom of Vintaria. .
At the moment of Victinius' proclamation, a film of light like an aurora borealis appeared on the border, though it was not seen by Masaru and the others who were indoors in the city that was the royal capital. This light, known as the Founding Light, was meant to announce the birth of a new nation and the extent of the land set aside for it, both internally and externally, over a period of seven days.
”Then, Adelina. You are hereby named Queen of Vintaria and shall be known as Adelina El Vintaria. Adelina.
”I do solemnly swear. ”I do.
Pinch the edge of her dress and bow neatly.
”Then, Zailtarg. .
Who are you?
”......... is my real name. It's my real name. .... ”Who?
Zarg tells us in a whisper, but everyone in the hall is reluctant to hear Masaru's strange behavior.
”......... Zyrtag. You are hereby crowned King of Adelina, and shall be known as Zyrtag ol Vintaria.
”I accept. I bow to you.
I bow gracefully.
I bow gracefully. The coronation will now take place. Everyone, please take your seats. Please take your seats.
From this point on, it is not necessary to kneel, as this is usually a ritual for those who present the sacred artifacts to the people.
”Then kneel, Adelina and Zailtarg. Kneel.
As they kneeled, Victinius placed the crowns on a tray on their heads.
”Well, Victinius. Take this as well. ”And this one.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the wand.
”This is from me and Victinius. If we both wear crowns, Adelina might be looked down upon in this male-dominated world, right? With all these wands, it's easy to see which one is the king, right?
The wand, with its core of adamantite and surface coated with mithril, was a precise representation of a winged woman that anyone on Earth would have recognized as an angel. The angel's arms hold dark blue sapphires, and her eyes are adorned with aquamarines.
It's basically adamantite, so it's perfect for a self-defense weapon!
