In an unknown small town in Lockman, before the sun had risen, soldiers wearing leather armor and carrying short swords knocked on the doors of civilians one after another and issued them the lord's instructions.
Order.
"According to the order of Viscount Roman, all civilian families send at least one person to Roland Square to gather without mistake. Anyone who violates the rules will be fined ten silver coins."
Under the threat of property damage, no matter how reluctant they were, each household of the civilians sent one person to the square to answer the lord's call. Only after they arrived did these mud-legged people know why the lord summoned them.
The monarch of the kingdom will abdicate today, and the only heir, Princess Remilia, is still young, so His Majesty Bella Dean invited a golden dragon and appointed him as the ruling prince to take charge of the kingdom on his behalf.
The succession ceremony is currently being held in the royal capital. King Bella Dean wants all the residents of the kingdom to witness this historic scene, so the lord forces them to gather here.
"What are you doing? I still have to work in the fields. What does the king's accession to the throne have to do with us idiots?"
"That's right, besides the fact that the royal capital is so far away from us and we can't see it, why are we asked to come here?"
"I have to go back to purchase goods. I can't continue my business."
...The lord's forced summoning of the people made these civilians complain. After all, kings, golden dragons, etc., these things are too far away from the common people living at the bottom, as far as the bards in the tavern say.
legend.
But soon, these complaining mud-legged people shut up, because above the city square, a dozen mage masters wearing robes and holding law sticks appeared. They were adjusting the magic that had been arranged in the square.
guidance instrument.
A light curtain sixteen meters long and nine meters wide was formed in the square, simultaneously presenting everything that happened in the capital of Scarlet in front of this small city.
The picture relayed was a bird's-eye view from above. This kind of picture instantly calmed these mud-legged people. They saw the capital of the kingdom that they might never be able to go to in their lifetime...
The tall, majestic and exquisite buildings, the nobles pulling carts through the sky with divine horses and exotic beasts, and the cloud giants who are taking over the city...
"What is this?" Some people asked blankly among the civilians who had no resentment at the first sight of this epic scene.
"This is Scarlet, the royal capital! The succession ceremony of the ruling Grand Duke Muria will be held here." A mage who had adjusted the magic projection equipment flew into the sky using levitation skills and used magic amplification to introduce loudly.
road.
This was Bella Dean's arrangement. The mage he sent not only took on the task of debugging the magic projection equipment, but also had one person as a commentator, introducing the various big figures who appeared above to all the civilians and adventurers watching this scene.
identity.
At this time, every city in the Kingdom of Rockman was like a small town like this. A magic light curtain projected everything that happened in the royal capital onto the light curtain in real time, giving it a dreamy feel.
In cities with a large population, multiple projection light screens are also deployed to ensure that more people can see the scene of Muria as the ruling prince.
On this day, the entire Rockman Kingdom is almost at a standstill. Farmers do not farm, merchants do not sell goods, adventurers do not perform tasks, believers do not go to temples to pray, and nobles who are not invited do not flirt with maids (?)
…
As long as the city can see the magic light curtain, almost everyone puts down their own work and watches the ceremony. For many people, this is a grand ceremony that they will regret for the rest of their lives if they miss it.
As time passed, one after another, the existences only described by the tavern bard appeared in the broadcast, which opened the eyes of the common people of the entire Rockman Kingdom.
An envoy from the Underdark, composed of the legendary cruel and murderous, but slender, beautiful-looking, dark-skinned drow. The dwarf king awakened the bloodline of the King of the Hill, a red dragon evolved from a kobold.
...There are also legends with different temperaments who were invited by Bella Dean and sent from more distant countries...
For ordinary people, even though they saw a big figure like the legendary Duke who they could never see at ordinary times, they jumped over at a glance. Most of their eyes stayed on those foreign races.
For example, there are drow elves who come from the Underdark, who look very coquettish, and there are also orthodox elves who want to kill these rubbish that taint the elven bloodline.
Even if you don't look at these beautiful elf girls who seem to be ready to fight at any time, you can also take a look at the legendary red dragon and the dwarf king who is like a hill.
Although the powerful human beings seem to have strong auras, they are not as attractive as these alien legends in attracting the attention of these civilians. After all, human legends are strong, but at first glance, there is nothing special about them, and they are not seen.
It has one more head or one more pair of hands than the average human.
When it was approaching noon, almost all the big shots appeared. At this time, in the palace in the center of Scarlet, there were more than thirty legends sitting on both sides of the central meeting hall, waiting for the ceremony to officially begin.
The eyes of the High Mage, who records and broadcasts images to cities across the country, are focused on this hall, and everything that happens here is simultaneously projected to all parts of the country.
The civilians who had been standing and watching for a long time were reluctant to leave even though they were hungry. Missing such a scene for even a second felt like a huge loss and sin. They had to spend money to sell goods here from those who saw the business opportunity.
A profiteer of dry food buys something to wrap his belly around and eats it while looking at it.
The next scene lived up to their expectations. They saw King Bella Dean leading the kingdom's sole heir Remilia on the stage, escorted by a team of elite construct knights. This was the first time for these mud-legged people to know about their kingdom.
What does the supreme ruler look like?
The next group of people with little knowledge and connotations listened to Bella Dean talk a lot of nonsense. Well, the king thought hard for half a month and used the most powerful, beautiful and gorgeous words to create it.
The declaration of abdication sounds like nonsense to most people.
They could understand every word that their king said, but after the words were connected, most of them were confused and couldn't understand at all. Fortunately, this period was over quickly.
Next, is the scene that almost everyone is looking forward to - the appearance of the ruling prince of the Rockman Kingdom.
Under the gaze of everyone, the golden dragon with six horns on its forehead, escorted by nearly a hundred giants riding large birds with brilliant feathers, flew out of the teleportation circle covering half of the palace...
