Chapter 861 is missing!
Then, someone chimed in, "Your Majesty, this is a double blessing! Prince Wu Su is getting married, and your thirtieth grandson is born, born with magical powers. This is God's blessing for our Great Rong Nation!"
"That's right! All the happy events happened today. Today is a good day, worth remembering."
"The totem tree is now fully grown, perfect for baptizing our little prince..."
"Your Majesty, the high priest is inside."
…
Then King Da Rong laughed out loud and said, "That's great, let him come and baptize Xiao Sanshi."
A group of people strode in from outside the door.
Leading the group was a towering man, King Darong.
He had just returned from Wu Su's residence, and soon heard that Xiao Sanshi was born with magical powers, which vaguely looked like pure moonlight. He went to take a look on the spot, and found that it was indeed the case.
As soon as she was happy, she brought the newborn baby for baptism.
The royal bloodlines born in recent years have not been baptized.
He wanted to give such an important opportunity to this little guy who was born with magical powers and had a bright future.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Why are you here? Come on, baptize this little guy."
The high priest agreed.
Just then, he tried to see if the power of the Teng Tree was still there.
He recited the baptismal mantra.
Everyone remained silent while he chanted the spell.
Even the howling baby seemed to sense something was wrong. It stopped crying, slowed down its movements, and seemed to be expecting something.
As a result, the spell was finished, but what everyone expected did not happen.
In the past, when a person was baptized, the totem tree would glow and act on the person being baptized, bathing the person in light...
Today, there was no movement at all.
King Darong frowned.
Could it be that the child is not of royal blood?
He looked at his son, the baby's father, with an unfriendly look.
The baby's father's face flushed crimson, and he swore, "Father, this is truly my child! Look how strong he is right after he was born, just like me when I was little..."
King Da Rong was not a stupid man. Seeing the dazed look on the high priest's face, and the incident that happened when he was blessing the newlyweds at today's marriage ceremony, his face suddenly darkened.
"What's going on? High Priest?"
The high priest did not dare to speak rashly, and he continued to recite the baptismal spell.
There was no response from the totem tree.
He was extremely panicked.
"Your Majesty, please ask the others to step aside for the time being."
King Darong waved his hand, and everyone else looked at each other and retreated in confusion.
Especially the prince who was holding the baby, he felt mixed emotions and his heart was pounding.
He has never been favored because his own magical powers are not outstanding, and he does not have any outstanding descendants who can be proud of and catch the eye of King Darong.
Now that a good seedling has finally been born, surprisingly, the totem tree refuses to baptize it!
Could it be that the princess is really having an affair?
Could it be that the princess's deep affection for him over the years was all fake?
Could it be that the person the princess is having an affair with is also a burly wizard?
…
Only the high priest and the Great Rong King were left in the wizard tower.
"Your Majesty! There's something wrong with this totem tree..."
"What do you mean?" King Darong looked serious.
The high priest recounted his doubts about the blessing ceremony for the newlyweds and the baptism that had just taken place.
"Before, I wasn't sure, so I came here to take a closer look. This totem tree has always been under the care of several of us high priests. Your Majesty, you generally don't use the totem tree, and your understanding of it isn't as clear as ours. When I was blessing the newlyweds before, there was no response the first time. I thought I had recited the spell wrong, so I recited it again, but there was still no response. Afterwards, it suddenly worked. I felt that the power didn't come from the totem tree, so I circulated it again, and it worked..."
King Darong's eyes became fierce! !
"turnover?!"
"Yes, the totem power on the totem seems to have disappeared! Although the magic power is still there..."
"Are you serious? How could the power of the totem disappear? Isn't it passed down to us by our ancestors? It has been passed down for thousands of years. The totem tree is the power of the totem!" King Darong still didn't quite believe it.
They were not a royal family at first. In the past, the people of the Darong Kingdom lived in tribes, and their Wu clan was a relatively large tribe.
Later, they merged into a country and built their empire step by step.
This totem tree has always been with their race and has an effect on their descendants twice in their lives: one is the baptism at birth, and the other is the blessing at marriage.
Don't underestimate these two effects.
For other wizards who are not blessed by the power of totems, these two opportunities for blessing are crucial and rare.
To be a level higher than others for no reason.
This is also one of the reasons why the royal family is becoming increasingly powerful and irreplaceable.
Even if the royal bloodline is thrown into chaos, outsiders will not be able to replace them.
Because there is a totem tree.
The high priest said excitedly, "It's just like the baptism ceremony just now. I can't sense any totem power at all, only some witchcraft power. Your Majesty, our totem tree is useless!"
King Darong stamped his foot. "Don't talk nonsense! Impossible! Our royal family's totem tree can't just be destroyed like this. Something must have gone wrong. Was it that Black Lotus Pearl? A few days ago, she said she would help us remove the curse on the totem tree, but in fact, she destroyed our totem tree?"
The high priest said, "Your Majesty, if it's disabled, how did today's blessing for the newlyweds succeed? If it's disabled, our bloodline will be useless, and others won't benefit from it. I'm afraid something even worse will happen!"
After saying this, King Darong's eyes flashed.
"You mean?"
The high priest replied, "I dare not speak falsely, but Princess Fu'an is definitely involved."
King Da Rong recalled, "Today, when the newlyweds were blessing each other, I was close to Xuan Lianzhu. There seemed to be fluctuations of magical power in the area where she was..."
"Your Majesty, you must summon Princess Fu'an and interrogate her. What exactly is going on? If she doesn't tell you, you can't let her go. It's most likely her doing. She wants to undermine the very foundation of our Darong Nation!"
As he was speaking, the queen came in hurriedly from outside.
"Your Majesty, the envoys from Da'an have now left Ge City and returned to Da'an."
King Da Rong was surprised. "It's almost dark now. Why are they leaving the city so quickly today?"
"It is said that Princess Fu'an's divination skills predicted that the cub at home is sick and in critical condition, so she is anxious to return home..." After receiving the news, the queen hurried to find King Dayong because she didn't believe it at all. Her divination skills were not up to this level, so how could she do instant divination?
She had a hunch that something was wrong.
King Darong and the high priest looked at each other.
The high priest said, "Your Majesty, there is no time to lose! We must not let her take the totem power back to the country! The totem power is the hope of our entire clan. It is so powerful that it is more than enough to protect the entire clan. If we only give it to her, it would be too easy for her! Even if it is destroyed, she cannot have it."
