Chapter 6 Registration Ceremony
Since the physical fitness of game characters is much stronger than that of real people, many players like to travel this way when the server is first launched, and Xia Yuan is no exception.
Judging from the time I remember, there is still quite some time before the official launch of the server.
If those two people are indeed players, then it proves one thing:
Now is likely the time when the closed beta is about to begin! But this raises another question: Is this world real?
"Mysterious Era" is a highly realistic immersive virtual game. The NPCs in the game are also extremely intelligent, just like real people.
Xia Yuan couldn't tell for a moment whether he had traveled to the real world or the game world.
He tried to call the system panel, but of course there was no response.
But this is still not convincing enough. NPCs are not players, so it is reasonable for them to not have a panel.
So, Xia Yuan thought of another way to prove it.
In the past, in order to pass the review, game characters had to have a pair of pants that could not be taken off, and female characters also had an additional top that could not be taken off.
Even NPCs are no exception!
Countless players who are willing but unable to do so "affectionately" call them the Sigh Set.
He secretly moved his hands and checked himself.
Fortunately, it’s not flat, and the Pants of Sighs do not exist.
But what about those two people?
Before he could continue thinking, the carriage shook slightly, as if it had reached its destination.
The scenery in front of me began to change. The noise of the crowd seemed to ring in my ears. The ceiling of the carriage that originally occupied half of my vision was replaced by a starry night, and two extremely familiar and strange full moons hung high in the sky.
Silver Moon——Severn! Purple Moon——Amis!
Xia Yuan closed his eyes and sighed silently, feeling mixed emotions.
It was not until this moment that he truly felt the reality of traveling through time.
But then again, this place looks very familiar. Where are they taking me?
………
In the evening, the registration ceremony was held as scheduled in the upper city of Karlas City.
The people who had already received the news poured into the white square in front of the city lord's mansion. The huge square of dozens of hectares was almost packed with people.
The naming ceremony is a ceremony that can only be held when a new direct descendant is born in the royal family and the four duke families. It is usually held in the capital of the family province.
This is an opportunity for common people to get to know the new members of the family. The newborn will officially receive his or her own name in the spotlight of everyone's attention.
At that time, royal envoys and nobles who have received invitations will come to watch the ceremony.
There is an unwritten rule among the upper class of the Gloria Empire: only newborns who have undergone a naming ceremony are considered official members of the four major families or the royal family, and are recognized by the upper-class aristocratic circles of the empire.
An illegitimate child who has not undergone the registration ceremony will not be accepted by the upper circle even if he is lucky enough to be recognized by the family in the future.
A majestic trapezoidal platform stands in the center of the square, covering an area of one hectare and reaching a height of several dozen feet. The main body is built of a whole piece of white Yunyao rock.
The celebrating crowd surrounded the stage in three layers, waiting noisily.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened wide, and a team of fully armed guards led the way, followed by a ceremonial guard in gorgeous armor. Wherever they passed, the crowds dispersed to both sides like a tide.
The invited nobles of all ages ascended the platform one by one, gathered in small circles in groups of two or three, and talked in low voices. Spellcasters in dark blue robes were scattered around the platform, making final preparations for the ceremony that was about to begin.
About half a magic hour later, Duke Carlas's carriage - a luxurious carriage pulled by four pure white unicorns, and two other carriages of exactly the same specifications, slowly drove out of the city lord's mansion.
On both sides of the ornately carved black and gold carriage are the cold crystal bird emblem of the Olivendi family.
If there were scholars who were proficient in magical heraldry, they would definitely recognize the meaning of the faintly glowing Eternal Crown pattern surrounding the emblem: an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years, has produced more than four ninth-order masters, including at least one ninth-order extreme master, has an extremely glorious history, and is still in its heyday! Three carriages stopped in front of the platform, and Leonard, dressed neatly, stepped down from the driver's seat of the leading vehicle and opened the door for Duke Carrot.
Today, the Duke changed into a classic black magic gown and top hat, with a wavy scarf embroidered in white and gold on his chest.
He stepped out of the car, walked to the door of the second car, and gracefully extended his right hand into the car. The carved secret gold cufflinks sparkled in the moonlight.
A slender hand wearing a long lace glove reached out from the car and placed it on the Duke's hand. The elegant figure dressed in a gorgeous outfit slowly walked out of the car and smiled at the Duke.
The Duchess was wearing a pure white long dress with intricate decorations. She gracefully stretched out her arms wrapped in white lace and let Duke Carlotte hold them.
The long skirt floats slightly under the effect of magic, avoiding contact with the ground and dust.
Next to get off the car were the royal courtesans and the three descendants of the Duke who had rushed back from their respective territories - the eldest son Raymont, the second son Evan, and the third daughter Alanis.
The group slowly climbed onto the platform, and the guards and honor guards standing on both sides raised their guns and saluted.
On the platform, the blue-robed spellcasters finished their final inspection and gathered in a queue at the top of the platform.
In front of the many mages, Isidor, the chief of the Olivendi Family Mage Corps and the eighth-level magician of the School of Transmutation, stood quietly.
He was wearing a black robe with silver patterns, and in his right hand he held a staff about two meters long. The straight staff exuded a silver-gray metallic luster, and the top of the staff was inlaid with a huge purple crystal.
Under the two-color moonlight, the light refracted by the crystal merges with the faint light of the robe patterns, flashing with strange and colorful colors.
Seeing the Duke and others stepping onto the platform, Isidor handed the staff to his left hand, and with his free right hand, he made three virtual points in the shape of a regular triangle in front of his chest, performing an impeccable wizard etiquette.
The Duke and Duchess returned the salute, while the royal envoy lightly lifted his hat with his left hand, placed his right hand holding the cane on his chest, bowed slightly, and performed a royal etiquette.
With the arrival of everyone, the ceremony officially began.
Erica held Xia Yuan, who was still confused, and walked to the center of the platform, where a three-story stone round platform was placed. The higher you go, the smaller the top area of the round platform becomes.
On the top of the topmost cone, 327 silver-black lines exuding a mysterious aura outline a multi-layered and strange star pattern. The middle and lower layers and the sides of the cone are covered with mysterious silver runes.
She gently placed the newborn in the center of the platform. The silver-black star lit up as she moved, and the runes around it also began to flicker alternately.
After she stepped aside, Isidor took a step forward, raised the staff in his hand, and his low and hoarse voice enveloped the entire platform.
"The ceremony begins!"
The wizard teams on both sides began to chant at the same time, and the obscure and ancient incantations merged into a mysterious melody.
The suppressed magical fluctuations spread in all directions, and a strange atmosphere rose from the top of the platform and spread to the entire square.
This ceremony is not only for confirming the identity, but also a great strengthening of the newborn. The reason why the naming ceremony is held on the night of the full moon is to take advantage of the beauty of the two moons.
The highly condensed moonlight is mild in nature and can greatly improve the qualifications of newborns.
The only drawback is that each newborn can only receive the double-month blessing once; the second time will not have any effect.
