I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 214 - 166: Swordbearer Ceremony (Triple Length)

Royal City of Ouzelik.

"Wooo—"

The long ceremonial horn sounded, reverberating throughout the magnificent royal city.

The neatly dressed guards formed a long line, standing tall and still, holding golden long halberds.

"Screee—"

Above the royal city, a majestic eagle circled, its neck adorned with golden feathers and tied with a royal silk scarf, glistening brilliantly under the sun.

These are the Royal City Golden Feathered Eagles, only appearing at significant events to showcase the royal family's dignity.

Beneath the ceremony platform of the royal city lay countless citizens kneeling on the ground.

Among them were humans, demi-humans, and even some species Rogel had never seen, reminiscent of a gathering of all races.

They gazed at the ceremony platform.

Boom!

On both sides of the platform, two four-armed humanoid colossi donned golden ritual armor, brandished golden swords, moved with heavy steps, and raised their arms.

"This is..."

At the side behind the platform, Rogel and a group of crew members quietly watched everything alongside the shadow leader.

"Wow! So big!" Noemi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Royal Golem Guards." The shadow leader, hidden within a black cloak, explained: "Crafted by extraordinary artisans under the Hero King's command, these figures are as sturdy as they are powerful, serving as one of the trump cards of the Thousand Islands Royal Family."

"But since there's been no war for a long time, they usually appear only at ceremonies."

Dong—

Royal Colossus guards extended their huge arms, crossed the great golden swords, producing a tremor-inducing sound that resonated across the entire ceremony platform.

The Old King Jowen sat on the ceremony platform's throne.

Beneath him, three princes knelt on the ground.

The elaborately dressed senior ceremony official, with solemn and serious demeanor, ascended the platform, bowed to the Old King, then to the Hero King statue. After a series of activities, he finally held the oath manuscript and began to read the ceremony speech aloud.

"In the past, the great Heroic King Ouzelik rose amidst endless brutal wars, gathered the tribes of the Five Great Seas, and established the Thousand Islands Kingdom..."

"The Heroic King, as magnificent as a towering tree, bestowed upon the Thousand Islands Kingdom an eternal, unyielding backbone..."

"The archipelago of the Five Great Seas, like stars in the sky, dazzlingly encircle the royal city..."

"The princes of the Thousand Islands Kingdom should be noble and unyielding, with the determination akin to the edge of Odaqiro's Sword..."

Seeing the stance of the ceremony minister, Rogel felt something amiss, as if a familiar phrase emerged in his mind.

"Classmates, next I'll say two sentences..."

Rogel turned to look at the shadow leader: "How long should this ceremony speech be?"

"Usually, it should be about ten minutes." The shadow leader replied conservatively.

"..."

Rogel felt somewhat speechless.

After pondering for a moment, he exited the true perspective and began chewing on a duck neck beside him.

As expected by Rogel, this ceremony minister could truly talk endlessly.

Rogel watched for almost half an hour before the minister finally completed the ending speech, drawing out a long ending tone.

"Lai Wei... Anderson... Ladi..."

"...Sons of the king, carry the resolve to become king bravely, and climb the Divine Descendant Peak..."

"The supreme spirit and strength of the Heroic King await you at the snow-covered summit..."

"Touch Odaqiro's Sword, earn its acknowledgment, under the gaze of Heroic King Ouzelik... be crowned king—"

The senior ceremony official, passionate and uplifting, held the ceremonial speech aloft and respectfully knelt towards the Old King Jowen and the giant statue of Ouzelik behind him.

At this moment, it was the peak of the bright day.

Golden rays fell upon the Royal City Golden Feathered Eagles, circling around the Ouzelik statue, resembling a heavenly golden crown, sacred and dazzling.

Reflected by the golden armor of the two colossi, boundless golden light burst forth, illuminating the entire platform with splendid brilliance.

Under the high-pitched ceremonial speech of the minister, the sacredness reached its peak!

Dong—

Old King Jowen descended from the throne, the scepter striking the ground.

Suddenly, golden rays converged, creating a huge whale phantom beside him, which opened its eyes, its mouth, and let out a thunderous, majestic roar.

"Wooo—"

At this moment, countless residents of the royal city spontaneously began shouting and calling.

"Be crowned king—"

The massive sound waves, like overwhelming tides, echoed throughout the royal city.

Rogel also returned to the true perspective.

Indeed, this scene was extremely stunning.

It is evident that every detail, every process in the ceremony, has been meticulously crafted and thoroughly studied by the royal family.

All for this precise moment.

"Royal Scepter." The shadow leader explained again to Rogel at this moment: "The second generation of the Divine Race commanded extraordinary artisans to create this scepter, capable of summoning the whale phantom."

"Can it fight?"

"No, it doesn't have combat power."

"..."

Upon hearing Alchemist Su Man's response, Rogel immediately lost interest.

Such things are visually appealing but practically useless.

Meanwhile, the whale phantom beside the Old King Jowen gradually dissipated as he came to the front of the three princes, raising the scepter in his hand, pointing to the distant snow mountain peaks visible vaguely.

"I, Seventeenth Generation of the Divine Race, Jowen Ozuric hereby proclaim, let beings from the Five Great Seas, Thousand Islands Kingdom witness together..."

"Sword Ceremony... Begins!"

At the moment the Old King finished speaking, countless voices arose.

The ceremonial horn resonated in high pitch, golden feathered eagles soared with cries, the royal colossi let out encouraging roars.

At this moment, the Sword Ceremony officially began.

The three princes responded, pressing fists to their chests, voicing their oaths, turning towards the rear.

At this moment, both Lai Wei and Anderson's eyes coincidentally turned towards their previously least valued younger brother.
