Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2213: 1232: Ceremony and Banquet (Part 2)
Chapter 2213: Chapter 1232: Ceremony and Banquet (Part 2)
“The scene is a bit too lively; today’s protagonist isn’t even me.”
Leo Ray casually waved his hand towards the crowd below, and the entire square erupted into fervor instantly.
Then, as Leo Ray was escorted back to the Castle Hall by his subordinates, he nodded to Red Night, who was responsible for delivering messages, and said, “Tell Cecilia that her coronation ceremony can begin.”
After this, the grandeur and public attention of the coronation ceremony supported by Leo Ray need not be mentioned.
It wasn’t until Cecilia, clad in a splendid outfit, entered the coronation hall, escorted by Antonio and Barnet, that Leo Ray walked out from the VIP seats to place the golden crown, symbolizing imperial authority, upon her head.
“From the first Goblin King, Roscoe, to Ariel, then Eckhart, Lawrence, and now Cecilia, I have already crowned the emperor of the fifth realm.”
“More accurately, I personally supported their ascent to the throne. The title ‘King Creator,’ which began with Roscoe, is truly no exaggeration.”
Looking at Cecilia’s elated, exquisite face, Leo Ray smiled faintly.
“Subordinate deeply thanks the Lord.”
Cecilia whispered in Leo Ray’s ear, then solemnly and elegantly ascended the emperor’s throne to deliver her coronation speech.
Listening to Cecilia’s impassioned words, Leo Ray glanced around the vicinity.
Within the glittering ceremonial hall, there were not only Pals nobles led by Antonio and Barnet, along with Braddon and other royal families long tamed by himself, but also representatives of the three major neutral organizations and diplomats from the other six nations.
A significant portion among them were his direct subordinates or trusted affiliates of his subs, undoubtedly having paved the way for Cecilia entirely.
In addition, the nobles present had all been filtered through Little Jie’s Golden Barrier, while those corrupt nobles had already been secretly dealt with.
As for the old emperor, Douglas, the curse and manipulation of the Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son had corroded him excessively, and he had completely ceased breathing early this morning.
Reflecting on this in his heart, Leo Ray refocused his attention on Cecilia.
“As the new monarch of the Pars Empire, I hereby officially announce that from today onward, the Pars Empire will closely follow the footsteps of the other six nations, surrounding our Savior, so that the Human Clan World will become a unified entity, with no more smoke and slaughter!”
Cecilia’s brisk voice echoed back and forth in the grand hall, filled with irrepressible longing and anticipation, “I believe it won’t be long before the Human Clan World reaches an unprecedented new height, recreating the glory of the Silver Moon Era!”
Upon hearing Cecilia’s words, the entire hall erupted in cheers, with numerous fiery gazes involuntarily cast upon Leo Ray once more.
Even the three uniquely positioned neutral organizations were bowing to Leo Ray; what reason did they have not to follow closely behind him?
“Furthermore, I’m sure everyone has heard about the Great Catastrophe; an unknown storm that will sweep the entire world is soon to arrive, so each of us must strive diligently to prepare for the impending landslides and tsunamis,
Cecilia’s golden crown sparkled in the opulent hall as she continued, “This is not only for the Pars Empire and every one of us but also for the continuation of the entire Human Clan World. I do not wish to see the Pars Empire dragging the Human Clan World down. Does everyone understand?”
“Understood, Your Majesty, we will do our utmost, to the death if necessary.”
The generals and ministers of the Pars Empire in the hall all knelt on one knee, speaking in unison.
Witnessing this inspiring scene, Cecilia’s starry eyes immediately turned to Leo Ray, pledging her loyalty through her gaze.
And Leo Ray stood with his hands behind his back, nodding in satisfaction.
With this, he successfully achieved his predetermined goal, assembling the final piece of the power puzzle.
In other words, after the Coldflame Kingdom, Verdant Kingdom, Ironhand Archipelago, Grimm Kingdom, Saint Night Kingdom, and Orchid Federation, now with the addition of the Pars Empire, the Seven Human Nations were fully under his control!
“Then, next, it is time to meet with the two old presidents, Grey Elder and Yonir, separately.”
Though the hall was still in an uproar, Leo Ray quickly regained his composure.
Before this, the reason why the two old presidents hadn’t shown up was solely for one matter, which was to consolidate all resources of their respective guilds per his instructions, ultimately for him to upgrade them all.
Moreover, with the exception of the Pars Empire, although the royal treasury of the Seven Human Nations had already been fully upgraded, the treasures of the nobles had not been entirely upgraded, which was also one of his collateral goals.
“The first stop will be the Mercenary Guild then. Unlike the Temple of Light, the headquarters of the Mercenary Guild is not located within the Human Clan World but at the border of the Saint Night Kingdom and Orchid Federation.”
“No wonder, considering that in the early days after the Era of Blankness, much of the Orchid Federation was just a dangerous area with rampaging demon beasts. Many mercenaries hunted demon beasts here to obtain materials for forging equipment and various heavenly treasures, thereby promoting the development of the Human Clan World.”
As Leo Ray made up his mind internally, the grand coronation ceremony swiftly came to an end.
Later, strongly urged by Cecilia and others, Leo Ray attended a grand banquet.
During this process, while dealing with the continuous greetings from the Pars nobles, Leo Ray finalized the specifics of his visit to the Mercenary Guild with Diana.
Since Diana and the Three Sages of Alchemy were almost permanently stationed by Leo Ray’s side, everything proceeded smoothly.
Once the banquet concluded, Leo Ray didn’t linger long in Pars City, and immediately, guided by Diana, he arrived at the Mercenary Guild headquarters through Ice Stone City.
The brilliant sunlight shone in the azure sky as Leo Ray and his accompanying subordinates emerged from the Ice Stone City gate, revealing a truly unique city before their eyes.
This was a city completely integrated with the mountain peaks; not only were the city walls and gate themselves parts of the massive cliff, but many of the buildings appeared to have been constructed by hollowing out the mountains, with rows of windows exposed on the cliff face.
“Interesting, it does bear some resemblance to the Unfallen Fortress.”
Leo Ray lightly raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
“To be honest, Prince, it’s more accurate to say that the Unfallen Fortress was constructed based on the original model of our Mercenary Guild headquarters.”
Diana walked beside Leo Ray, pointing out directions while smiling, “In fact, the main builder of the entire Unfallen Fortress project was the Mercenary Guild.”
“So, you mean building the Unfallen Fortress was a task entrusted to the Mercenary Guild by the Hero King back then?”
Leo Ray looked with interest at the giant city before him, nodding slightly.
“Exactly, my Prince, our Mercenary Guild not only completes conventional tasks such as protection, hunting, and item retrieval but can also undertake unique building missions like this.”
In front of the giant city gate, the grand procession of the Mercenary Guild stood with swords, as Grey Elder, leading the high officials of the Mercenary Guild, came forward to greet Leo Ray with a beaming smile, “Your Royal Highness Prince’s esteemed visit brings great honor to our Mercenary Guild headquarters.”
After Grey Elder spoke, the other high officials of the Mercenary Guild all saluted, showing the highest reverence toward Leo Ray.
“You are too kind, old President.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly in return, smiling as he replied, “It is my privilege to witness the risks here.”
“Haha, Your Royal Highness Prince remains as approachable as ever, always leaving us feeling honored.”
Grey Elder nodded toward Leo Ray, without hiding his respect in the slightest.
After expressing his respect again without reservation, Grey Elder continued, “Then please, Your Royal Highness Prince, proceed into the city; this place will forever be a loyal and solid part of you.”
“I’ll leave it to you, old President.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, then proceeded directly through the city’s grand gate, guided by Grey Elder.
