The sound of firecrackers resounded throughout every settlement in Qiwu City. The Demon Fighting Conference ended ten days ago, and the ensuing knighthood ceremony was held to reward the strong students who performed well in the competition. It was a great opportunity for the residents of the city.
It is said that it is equivalent to the continuation of the Magic Fighting Tournament. Moreover, today is also the National Day of the founding of the Qiwu Empire. It can be said that it is a double happiness. The people of the whole city are ecstatic and celebrating with joy, which is no less than the current moment of the Magic Fighting Tournament.
They would choose to start the formal knighthood ceremony at noon, also to symbolize that the empire's national destiny was at its peak and flourishing.
Yi Yun stood at the south window, silently watching the grand scene of salutes over the imperial city. The brilliant fireworks bloomed by various magics. Even under the scorching sun at noon, they were still clearly visible, lighting up the towering sky in the center of the imperial city.
The architectural complex sets off the grandeur, showing majesty but also full of joy.
The order in which the knighthood ceremony is held starts with the four-star level, then the five-star level, and finally the highest level in the Magic Fighting Tournament, which is Yi Yun's six-star level.
The venue for the event is the "Qiwu Main Hall", the largest hall in the palace.
Now the ceremony has just begun. The top ten students at the four-star level will first enter the hall to be awarded. The top ten students at the five-star level are waiting in the North Hall. The hall Yi Yun is currently in is specially set up for the top ten at the six-star level.
South Hall Lounge.
Students at all levels have experienced different levels of competition, entered the palace at different times and received different awards, and the rewards they will receive are also different. Therefore, it is a unified practice for previous knighthood ceremonies to place the top ten winners of three different levels separately.
Listening to the shouts and cheers echoing outside the imperial city, I recalled that I had been riding in a carriage all the way. The streets in Qiwu City were almost empty, and most of the residents gathered in the square with the magic image to watch the knighting ceremony.
Yi Yun also knew that only a small part of the residents were still in the city, and the vast majority had returned to the giant competition venue where the Demon Fighting Conference was originally held.
There, the venue can accommodate 300,000 people at the same time, and the large open space outside the venue can accommodate nearly a million people at one go. Scenes of huge magical images are being played in the sky around the stadium.
The Knighting Ceremony, the continuation of the Demon Fighting Conference, is also the true end of this grand event. The fire in everyone's hearts has been ignited again. They hope to see a perfect ending. All the top ten students who have touched the hearts of the people on the field
They will also show up again, receive the rewards they deserve, and be promoted from civilians to members of the nobility. This is the true meaning of "Leaping over the Dragon Gate".
He turned around and walked back indoors. The people in the same room with him were all the strong men from various colleges who participated in the royal family's banquet last night. Including him, there were only eight people in total. Modo was still missing, and Gulan was not among them.
Inside, everyone had extremely excited faces, waiting for the order to summon them to enter the Qiwu Main Hall to be ennobled. After today, they will all be members of the imperial nobility.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, while Yi Yun sat quietly aside. On the eve of setting off for the imperial city, he placed the ball in his room in the house.
Of course, he couldn't bring a monster to such an important imperial conferment ceremony. Without the tight feeling of balls that he was used to, he was quite uncomfortable. He leaned on the back of his chair and slowly tasted it.
The royal family specially prepared the finest tea for them, quietly waiting for the time to come.
After last night's royal banquet, others also understood Yi Yun Xijing's temperament, and they were all in extreme excitement and joy. They needed to keep talking to relieve their excitement, so no one came to disturb her.
After a while, Mimi Lu behaved differently from last night's banquet. Suddenly, a man came over. Her expression was a little unnatural. When she came to Yi Yun, she didn't sit down. The first thing she said was: "Grand Ceremony."
After this is over, you will probably go back to Tianfeng Academy, right?"
Yi Yun was stunned, why did she even ask him this question?
Mimilu continued, minding her own business: "Dean Brazo of Rhine College seems to be very interested in you. During these ten days, he always went to your Tianfeng College house every three days. Even you
After two inexplicable disappearances in a row, he also sent all our Rhine teachers and students to look for you. He seems to be very concerned about your future whereabouts. However, even your teacher, Dean Mino, is not sure about this matter, so I am curious about it.
Come and ask."
Dean Brasso of Rhine College, Yi Yun recalled that day after the battle with the Shadow Killer Corps, when he faced the threat of Bernardon and Moxi, without his generous help, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed, and he felt grateful in his heart.
, but I don’t know why he wants to find me.
Yi Yun shrugged and smiled instead of answering: "I also have something to ask you. At the banquet last night, all the teachers and students at Laihein looked at me very strangely, especially you. I want to know... you
Why are you afraid of me?"
Mimilu was stunned when she heard this, as if she remembered something terrible, her body trembled slightly, and she blurted out: "Because, you are inherently terrible!"
After saying that, she ran back to the other students as fast as she could. She didn't dare to look back at Yi Yun, and actually didn't even listen to the answer.
The incomprehensible answer made Yi Yun stunned!
The waiting time in the rest area was longer than expected. Two hours later, Gu Lan opened the door and came in, loudly saying to everyone: "Dear students, it is our turn next. Everyone, please prepare carefully. In another moment,
Bell, the Minister of Ceremonies will come to pick you up!"
Everyone cheered when they heard this, and everyone immediately began to straighten their appearance. The male students all acted in the same way, simply arranging their clothes, but all the female students swarmed to the large round mirror in the room and took the
I used makeup tools that Yiyun couldn't understand, and tried my best to give myself the final look. Thinking about it, this is the difference between men and women.
Gulan walked up to him with a smile on his face, tugged at the corner of Yi Yun's clothes, and simply straightened his clothes. Such an intimate gesture even surprised Yi Yun, but Gulan smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's our turn finally.
Of course, you have to be well prepared. After all, you are the final winner of this competition and the last one to play. I bet that half of the people who watch the magical video of the knighthood ceremony are rushing.
Came for you."
Not caring at all that Yi Yun had taken over his position, Gu Lan smiled boldly.
Yi Yun thought for a while and asked: "Where's Modo? He is the second in the six-star level, won't he come to participate in the ceremony of being awarded the title?"
Gulan replied: "He has been here for a long time, and now he has gone to the scene of the grand ceremony, and was taken by Earl Merci and General Bernardon. Since he is a direct descendant of the Lanville family, it is not surprising that he has this privilege.
"
After a pause, Gulan lowered his voice and continued: "You should know Alibu, he is the number one winner at the four-star level, but the Lanville family just announced in public that they would give up his right to be entrusted, and he did not come to participate.
In this ceremony, the knighthood awards will be given in order from the next one up. That is to say, among the four-star level awards, the 11th place will also be eligible for the title...
"Although this matter is a common practice in our empire, my father and the ministers all accepted it without objection. However, the general public does not understand the reason, and it caused quite a commotion just now."
Gulan, as the prince, was of course very aware of the matter of the Shadow Killing Legion. He was also aware of the increasingly tense relationship between Yi Yun and the Lanville family, so he informed Yi Yun of this matter in private.
Gulan knew that according to Bernardon's previous promise to the royal family, after the ceremony, Alibu, the mastermind behind the Shadow Killing Legion, would be secretly executed. This was regarded as a scandal that had never happened before in the empire, and he sent troops to attack privately.
An apology and compensation for the final winner of the killing contest.
For a dying person to be granted an imperial title is just unnecessary. This is the main reason why Emperor Olba and other ministers have no objection.
Yi Yun heard the words and said calmly: "Thank you for informing me, but after all, this is only an internal matter of the Lanwell family and has nothing to do with me. I don't want to hear anything about their family anymore."
Gulan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right! You were just a victim of this attack and killing from the beginning to the end. You only handed over the mastermind, and the embarrassing scandal that had never happened before in the entire empire was resolved invisible.
, speaking of which, the Lanville family still takes advantage."
After the laughter subsided, Gu Lan became solemn and said seriously: "I have discussed it with Dean Mino just now. After today's knighting ceremony, your Tianfeng Academy will still stay in the royal city for one more night until the next morning.
I will lead the team to leave, so please free up your time tonight, I have something important that I want to talk to you in person!"
What Gulan wanted to talk about was naturally the royal family's recruitment of him. It was a shame that he waited until now to tell Yi Yun about it.
Yi Yun smiled and said: "I can probably guess what the important thing you are talking about is, but that is what happened in the evening after all. Now that the time has come, we should deal with the business in front of us."
Gu Lan nodded and patted Yi Yun's shoulder. At this time, other students were all ready and gathered around Gu Lan. After a while, the Minister of Ceremony arrived. Under his leadership, everyone walked out of the South Hall to rest.
At the door of the room, a whole row of luxurious queues greeted them, and they all walked towards the majestic Qiwu Main Hall standing in front of them.
As soon as they entered the main hall paved with a big red carpet, they found a dark crowd inside. The four-star and five-star conferment ceremonies had just ended. There were a total of 20 top ten students of the two levels, all in the station.
Applause at the door of the hall to welcome their arrival.
For these students, although they are also among the top ten, the six-star level is fundamentally different from them. They are all goals they strive to surpass in the future, and their applause is particularly sincere and vigorous.
Yi Yun glanced around and saw that Alibu was not among these people, but among them he found an old friend from the past, Jie Du.
As early as when he got his competition list from Mino, he had already seen Jiedu's name included, and knew that he, like Luo Lei, was one of the four-star representatives of Qiwu Royal Academy in this Magic Fighting Conference.
, performed quite well, and successfully entered the top ten at the four-star level, and is now staring up at him.
Yi Yun nodded and smiled at Jiedu, saying that he still remembered him, and then followed the students around him to the center of the hall.
Looking at Yi Yun's back, Jie Du sighed secretly. When the two of them were at Donika Academy, he was the senior and he was just the junior. He had defeated him in the academy competition, but they had been separated for several years.
Today, he has reached a height that is difficult for him to reach. I am afraid that he will never be able to surpass him for the rest of his life. He only feels that things have changed and time and space have changed. He is no longer qualified to stand in front of Yi Yun and challenge him.
Under the leadership of the Minister of Ceremony, everyone stood outside the center of the hall. Only the tenth-ranked student walked out first and went to the front of the Qiwu Hall, in front of Emperor Olba, Dharma Saint Jemida and Red-coated
Bishop Pluto stood on the left and right sides of the emperor. Amidst the solemn music, the finale of the knighting ceremony, the six-star awarding ceremony, officially began.
