Chapter 505 Coronation Day
Elves are a race naturally full of "artistic" cells. They are dexterous and have a unique perception and pursuit of beauty.
It would be perfect to let them work as makeup artists, stylists, barbers, fashion designers, etc.
Looking at the busy and orderly scene in front of him, Merlin was secretly proud of himself: he might be the first person among the army of time travelers to launch wedding services in this alien world!
Time passed by like a flash, and soon it was the sacred and solemn day of the Pope's coronation.
Inside the Moon Temple, in the solemn prayer room, the Elf Queen Jessica had been praying devoutly for three days and three nights.
At this moment, she slowly stood up, her posture still upright, and she gently pushed open the extremely heavy door, making a dull sound, as if it was a sigh of ancient times.
Outside the door, Merlin, Elsa and a group of Moon Temple priests were already waiting there in an orderly manner.
Merlin carefully held an exquisite box in his hands. The box was filled with various gorgeous decorations inlaid with precious gems. The gems sparkled brightly in the dim light. Each of them was priceless. These were not the cheap goods that Merlin used to fool the elf youth. They were carefully prepared for the Queen's coronation ceremony, symbolizing supreme dignity and glory.
Elsa had a gentle face and focused eyes, holding an extremely gorgeous robe in her hands.
Surrounded by Merlin and others, Queen Jessica walked steadily into the dressing room next door.
A moment later, she was dressed neatly, wearing a dazzling crown on her head, with an extremely large blue gem inlaid on the crown, like a deep pair of eyes, gazing at everything in the world; she was wearing a robe embroidered with gold thread, which dragged on the ground, making a slight rustling sound as she walked.
According to convention, before the Pope's coronation ceremony officially begins, Queen Jessica will stand on the towering observation deck of the Moon Temple, overlooking her people, showing her kindness and majesty, and accepting the people's admiration and worship.
As she walked with solemn steps, step by step, up the steps leading to the observation deck, her heart was filled with anticipation for the upcoming ceremony and deep hopes for the future of the elves.
However, when Queen Jessica stood on the observation deck of the Moon Temple and looked out, her expression froze instantly, as if she was frozen in an invisible spell, her eyes wide open, full of astonishment and disbelief.
The wide open space in front of the Moon Temple had already been decorated into a festive sea of red.
Big red lanterns were hung high, in rows and rows, like burning flames, illuminating the entire square in red; bright red silk hung from the eaves of the Moon Temple, dancing in the wind like flexible ribbons, flying freely in the air; on the ground, a long red carpet was laid with flower petals, which were delicate and gorgeous, eye-catching red, and exuding bursts of rich fragrance.
Not only that, a number of beautifully shaped confession ceremony scenes were also built on the open space.
Some are dreamy flower pavilions built with flowers. The pillars of the pavilion are wrapped with rose branches. The roses are blooming beautifully, exuding charming fragrance. There is an exquisite round table in the pavilion. The table is covered with red cloth embroidered with golden hearts, and is filled with exquisite desserts and mellow wines.
One is a romantic venue with a starry sky theme. A dark blue curtain hangs down from the sky, dotted with twinkling star lights, like the vast universe. A huge crystal ball is placed in the center of the venue, with strange light flashing inside.
All around, there were young elves, men and women, waiting for the confession ceremony.
They were dressed in all kinds of gorgeous clothes. Most of the men wore red or gold Chinese-style suits embroidered with auspicious patterns such as dragons and unicorns. They wore jade crowns on their heads and swords on their waists. They looked heroic and dignified.
The ladies wore phoenix coronas and bridal robes inlaid with pearls and gems that sparkled brightly in the sun. The bridal robes dragged on the ground and were embroidered with floral patterns such as peonies and Chinese peonies. They had delicate makeup, rosy faces, and were breathtakingly beautiful.
These clothing styles and accessories are all new products carefully designed and launched by the Merlin team in recent times. They combine the classical Chinese charm with the unique aesthetics of the elves. Once they came out, they quickly became popular among the elves.
Queen Jessica had no idea what was happening. Why did the day of the Moon Temple's coronation become so festive, like a grand carnival?
Not only in front of the Moon Temple, she looked into the distance and was surprised to find that as long as it was a beautiful and famous place in the city, all kinds of strange but extremely gorgeous venues had been built, and many young men and women were happily performing confession ceremonies, and laughter and affectionate scenes could be seen everywhere.
"What is going on!" Queen Jessica exclaimed in her heart. She could not understand this sudden change at all. Although she knew very well that the elves always liked to hold confession ceremonies on the day of the coronation of the Pope of the Moon Temple, today's scene felt weird no matter how she looked at it.
Also, the clothes and accessories worn by those young elves, both men and women, were so exquisite that they were even more beautiful than those worn by her, the carefully dressed queen. This made her feel an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
"I only stayed in the prayer room for three days. Why do I feel like I have traveled through time and space? What on earth did my fellow elves go through?" Queen Jessica was full of doubts, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of confusion.
Merlin was standing nearby, and naturally noticed the Queen's astonishment and confusion. He coughed twice awkwardly, trying to break the awkward deadlock.
Elsa was thoughtful. She walked forward gently, leaned close to Queen Jessica's ear, and reminded her softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to speak."
Queen Jessica finally came back to her senses from her trance. She took a deep breath, tried to calm her inner waves, mobilized the magic power in her body, and made her voice as loud as a bell, spreading to every corner of the Moon Temple and even further.
"Dear fellow elves, today, we gather here to welcome the coronation day of the Holy Moon Temple Pope... May the Moon God bless each and every one of us..."
The Queen's voice echoed in the air. Although there was a hint of doubt in her words, it was more of a blessing and expectation for the elves.
When the people in the audience heard the Queen's speech, they cheered and applauded, seemingly unaware of the Queen's inner turmoil.
Only Merlin was secretly thinking about how this "fashion revolution" and "confession craze" he had triggered would end...
