Chapter 37 July Flower Good Dog
In his previous life, Zelsa had participated in countless purification ceremonies beside him, and the actual process was already well known by heart, but he did not expect this one to be so complicated.
Ye Yanze was called up in a daze early in the morning. As his personal servant, Zelsa walked in with a group of servants carrying clothes and accessories.
The morning light was still dim, he was leaning to one side with his eyes half closed, his long hair falling to cover his face, his chest rising and falling slowly with his breathing.
The servants around him stepped forward consciously, some took his hands to wipe them, some held pure dew to comb his hair, and an attendant on the side was nervously checking his clothes and accessories one by one. There were a lot of people, but no one made much noise.
Zelsa was not allowed to do anything. He just stood behind the crowd and looked at Ye Yanze who was half lying down. For some reason, this was the first time he felt the distance between them.
Ye Yanze half opened his eyes and propped himself up to sit up. He immediately saw Zelsa standing at the back. For some reason, he subconsciously reached out to him.
"Okay, let him help me below, you guys go down first."
Zelsa naturally accepted the confused, inquiring or jealous looks from everyone. He actually hadn't spoken to Ye Yanze for a long time. His mind had been very confused recently and he couldn't find a single thread to make sense of.
"What are you proud of?"
Ye Yanze was still sleepy, his voice was nasal and his tone was light, but Zelsa was choked by it.
Fortunately, he didn't force for an answer. He just reached out and pulled over the innermost shirt generously, lowered his head to untie the laces of his pajamas, and began to take off his clothes as if he didn't exist.
"I'm still here, why are you taking off your clothes? What are you trying to do?"
Ye Yanze simply took off his shirt calmly, threw it on the bed, picked up his clothes and started to put them on. His movements were natural, and he even moved a little faster because he was afraid of the coldness in the early morning.
"I admit that I have used this method to test you before, but this time it's really not the case."
Zelsa had his back to him, his tone was cold, his fists were clenched so hard that the muscles on the back of his hands were stiff, but the arc of his head turned was a little too exaggerated.
"Come here and help me change my clothes. If you have any grudges, go out and call them in." Ye Yanze used a commanding tone, but Zelsa's attention was all on the back.
"As expected of a noble lord, you need so many people to help you put on clothes."
But as he spoke he walked over, turned around and saw that he had already changed the lining himself. He was stunned for a moment, and a trace of immoral regret flashed through his heart.
"If I didn't want to talk to you, they would usually change the lining for me. There's no need for you to be so shy."
For the first time, Zelsa experienced her own mood swings. She could go from secretly happy to angry, and finally to ashamed in just a few words from Ye Yanze.
Zelsa buttoned his robe with a cold face and put it on him piece by piece. The soft fabric was delicate and smooth, and he was afraid of damaging the material when he touched it. Every time he got close to him, the warm breath on his body always made him uneasy.
Ye Yanze cooperated with his work very well, and even turned around on his own initiative, lifted his hair with one hand, and lowered his head to watch Zelsa kneeling on one knee to tidy up his clothes.
When the platinum woven cloak was tied, Zelsa was facing him, her fingers occasionally brushing against his Adam's apple and cheek, and she could feel his breath lingering around her.
"You're so clumsy, I won't bother you to do this next time." Ye Yanze suddenly spoke, and his fingers could still feel the tremors of his words. "Anyway, you're not my servant..."
"no."
Without even thinking, Zelsa suddenly blurted out these two words in a cold voice, and then raised his eyes and looked at Ye Yanze coldly and threateningly. He met a pair of smiling eyes, how could he not know that Ye Yanze was playing tricks on him just now.
Since it was just a joke, I'm afraid the only one who was really upset was him, the unlucky one.
"As long as I am your servant, I will do what I should do." He hadn't thought about what he said today, but he felt much better after saying this.
Ye Yanze didn't say much, just smiled and responded softly.
He was just thinking, a rebel leader weighing 200 pounds is talking about the duties of servants? It's really fresh.
"At this time, the purification ceremony was still held once a year, unlike the later period when it was held almost two or three times a month. Therefore, the royal family, nobles, and common people all paid close attention to this day."
"This is also one of the few opportunities for the royal family to display their royal majesty."
Zelsa was keenly aware of the unusual smell in his tone, but did not understand what he was going to do for the time being.
"You have to follow me closely and watch me." Ye Yanze added with a smile, and said meaningfully: "If anything happens, you can still help me."
After Ye Yanze put on the sash on his shoulders, he called all the servants in. Zelsa did not leave, but watched Ed carefully braid his long hair into a long braid and comb his hair neatly.
Next time, we must make sure they can't interfere.
When Ye Yanze came outside with his hood on, except for Wang Ting, the heads of the three major families had already arrived. Groot, the head of Gene's family, was drinking tea on the side. When he saw him coming, he just glanced at him lightly, and his dark purple robe hung down.
A red-haired lady in a dark green robe, with a red and blue ribbon on her shoulders and a beret with long feathers, turned around and stopped talking to Luther to look at Ye Yanze.
She walked over slowly, and Ye Yanze took a few steps to greet her. She was about the same age as Grote, and the years had given her a calm, wise and profound look. She took off her gloves and raised them, letting Ye Yanze kiss her hand.
"Your Highness seems to be in extra spirits today. I don't need to worry about your physical condition failing today."
She is the head of Eli's household, Lady Sheila, and the aunt of Lady Bella, the current queen of the royal court.
"After all, today is an important day for everyone."
"The emperor may not think so. He hasn't come yet." Eli looked calm, as if he was just stating a fact, and it was impossible to tell what his attitude was.
Ye Yanze just smiled and said, "No matter what, he will come. The ceremony still needs him to complete an important part."
Sheila chuckled meaningfully.
Less than an hour before the ceremony began, the emperor arrived with his nominal queen, Lady Bella. He was wearing a red robe with white trim, and he had all the royal medals and ribbon tassels made of gold.
Hope is good-looking, and her royal manners are impeccable. Lady Bella next to her has red hair and emerald green eyes like lake water. She wears a red and white dress and a crown, showing her royal style.
"The royal court is still too far away. Your Majesty has only just arrived now."
Grote didn't even stand up to salute, but just nodded and then started to choke. Hope was the emperor, but he couldn't refute his words, so he just said that he was delayed on the way.
"Everyone, it's getting late."
The mages who maintained order in the ceremony were mainly from the Hilt family. Luther said a few words to his subordinates and came out to smooth things over.
"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Holy Son, please go ahead."
As soon as Ye Yanze walked up to him, Hope sneered in a low voice.
"Your seductive skills are still as good as before, and you even hooked up with the head of the Hilt family."
Ye Yanze didn't say anything. He was very familiar with Ye Yanze's behavior of being submissive and mocking towards the noble families.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Hope leaned sideways and looked down at his profile.
"Did you let him sleep? With your legs spread like a slutty whore..."
"Your Majesty." Ye Yanze's expression remained calm, and he even had a smile on his face, like a compassionate angel with sympathy for the world. He just interrupted him lightly.
"If it weren't for my cousin, you would have been humiliated by the head of the Gene family today." Ye Yanze even turned his head and nodded and smiled. To outsiders, it seemed that he was reminiscing about the past with his brother.
"Otherwise, do you have the face to ask the head of Hilt's family to smooth things over for you?"
Hope was the first to extend his hand. In front of them was the door of the tower. When it was opened, there was a road leading to the central square, with people watching the ceremony on both sides.
Ye Yanze was also wearing white gloves, so he put his hand on it without any psychological burden. Otherwise, if this bug's hand touched him, his hands would be peeled off.
"You have ruined the reputation of the Herman court."
"Does that kind of thing still exist?"
Ye Yanze almost stepped on the tail end of his words, otherwise the waiter would have come forward to open the door and he would have no chance to say anything.
A tall reddish-brown double door was pushed open by the waiter, and in an instant Hope's gloomy face turned into a friendly smile, and his two hands, which were only touching each other, were raised a little higher so that everyone could see clearly.
Only Hope waved to the people. The noble families did not need recognition and praise. The Son of God did not need to do anything to make everyone cheer.
He spent a lot of energy, and the cheers all around him, one louder than the other, were all for His Majesty the Holy Son.
The Herman court existed in name only, but His Royal Highness the Son of God was born in the Herman court after all. This was their last bit of dignity, and even if Hope hated it, he could only smile and raise the hand holding His Royal Highness the Son of God, with no grudges.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, there is still that magic circle, and only the emperor’s magic circle is recognized.
This short stretch of road was not very long, but the red carpet with gold edges on the road was extremely majestic.
But Ye Yanze never reacted. Luther followed Mrs. Bella and Sheila. He gracefully gestured for the lady to go first, and kept his eyes on the person in front.
Lady Bella held her aunt's arm affectionately with a smile on her face, but Sheila did not smile at all. Luther gave a subtle look to this inconspicuous queen.
But I unexpectedly discovered that the person who smiled most sincerely was probably Mrs. Bella.
As a close attendant, Zelsa could walk behind them, but there were too many people, and he couldn't see him, or even the corner of his clothes. It seemed that in his past and present lives, he had never been qualified to stand beside him.
"Zelsa, if I say I can help you become emperor..."
Zelsa's clenched hands loosened again.
The magic circle was in the center of the central square, where there was a specially raised altar. The nobles returned to their seats to watch the ceremony and did not need to go forward.
Zelsa and a servant dressed in royal court attire were able to step forward, and only then did he see Ye Yanze.
They stepped forward and took the white gloves he took off. Ye Yanze turned around and didn't rush to let Zelsa go. Instead, he smiled and said softly.
"Just stand down there and don't go too far, okay?"
Zelsa couldn't refuse him.
At this time, the Son of God needs to perform purification first, and the Emperor needs to activate the magic circle. Everyone is paying attention to this place, but no one thinks it is different from previous years.
Ye Yanze raised his hand, his voice was calm and gentle, and he said nothing more: "Purification."
Golden light shot up into the sky, and waves of invisible waves expanded from the central square. The sky seemed to be clear and a bright blue.
The noisy environment suddenly became quiet, and small golden particles floated in the air like a dream, soft and gentle, and dispersed outwards with gusts of warm and soft wind.
"Your Highness's Great Purification Technique is becoming more and more handy, and the power is very pure." The great wizard with the trainee wizards in the stands said with emotion, and the student in the sky blue robe behind him immediately leaned over.
"Teacher, why did His Highness..."
He immediately stopped talking, and when he met the many curious eyes, he just glared at them and whispered to them to watch the ceremony carefully.
"Why hasn't the magic circle lit up yet?" a boy asked in a low voice.
At this time, whispers were heard among the crowd. The magic circle needed to light up after His Highness performed the purification. This magic circle would quickly spread the power of purification to other city magic circles.
On the altar, Hope also raised his hand and tried his best to mobilize his elemental power, but for some reason he couldn't mobilize it at all, and even felt a sense of blockage.
"What's going on?!"
Ye Yanze tilted his head to look at Hope, confusion evident on his face but his tone was slow.
"Brother, how come you don't even have the strength to activate the magic circle? Ah, did you forget to take the medicine to increase your strength before coming here?"
Hope tried hard to maintain his expression, sweat already appeared on his forehead. He subconsciously looked towards the audience, but was met with suspicious and contemptuous gazes. He was almost unable to maintain his expression.
He looked away, only to meet a pair of smiling eyes. He was familiar with the face, it was his boring and rigid queen, but he had never seen such a cheerful and malicious smile.
In a flash, he thought of the medicine that the woman had brought to him with a humble look, and he was horrified.
He turned his head to look at the magic circle, closed his eyes and tried with all his strength again, but saw the sarcastic curve of Ye Yanze's mouth under the hood.
The next second, a golden light shone from his hands. He didn't care about anything else and happily guided it towards the magic circle.
However, the golden light exploded right in front of him, with a sound that shook the earth, and screams were heard for a long time.
Luther, who had been sitting upright in his seat, had been looking at Ye Yanze. He had been looking forward to the so-called interesting scene. At this moment, he curled the corners of his lips with satisfaction.
The next second, the purifying light that shot up into the sky quickly disappeared. This time, everyone could no longer sit still. A corner of the altar was blown up, and the rising dust made it impossible to see the human figures, but blood was seen flowing from the stone platform.
Luther's brows jumped, and he didn't even realize that his little finger trembled for a moment. The next second, he returned to his indifferent attitude and sat there.
After the loud noise, Zelsa followed the mage to the altar without looking back. He smelled the scent of blood before he arrived. He didn't bother to hide his incompetence and immediately rushed to the front.
"Ye Yanze!"
When he arrived, he saw Ye Yanze, who was safe and sound, smiling at the emperor who had his arm blown off and half of his body burnt black. The crown on his body was tattered and had traces of burns on it, like a piece of rag.
Zelsa was sure that it was the first time he saw Ye Yanze with such a happy expression. He turned to look at Zelsa, watching him running towards him step by step.
"Now, hold out your hand."
Zelsa's heart was pounding for no reason. He looked at the bloody scratch on his cheek and stretched out his hand, but towards his cheek.
Ye Yanze did not blame him, but just held his wrist and pressed it towards the damaged stone platform in the middle with the magic circle engraved on it.
"My Lord, please don't let me down."
The next second, the red flames shot up into the sky and formed a magic circle in mid-air. At the same time, the golden purification reappeared, and a golden July flower bloomed in the center of the magic circle.
"Good dog."
