- The preparations for the enthronement ceremony basically take 2 to 6 months, which include complicated and even bizarre tasks and necessary procedures. After all, Sardinia is one of the few remaining traditions that has always maintained tradition. One of the ancient countries and royal families. However, Her Majesty Queen Maria's current situation obviously does not allow her to wait for such a long time, and everything must be done quickly and simply. Twenty hours No, no, no, in order to prevent emergencies, such as an important assistant suddenly losing his voice or having diarrhea, a quarter of the time must be set aside as a buffer - another reason is that people I don¡¯t want to think about it, will this man-made black hole speed up?
Everyone in the Sardinian capital is busy - the upper and lower houses, that is, the Congress, must first accept the abdication issued by Her Majesty Queen Maria and the edict passed on to Crown Prince Alexander Salieri Ferdinand, although Her Majesty the Queen cannot visit her ministers in person Read in front of you. At the same time, there are preparations for the coronation ceremony - the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in the capital of Sardinia is an established place for royal members to hold weddings, funerals, mausoleums and the coronation of kings or queens. Hundreds of kings or queens have crowned themselves here. The crown has been maintained very well, but completing the decorations required for the enthronement ceremony still makes people breathless due to the tight time The single crown is hundreds of feet high, wide and tall, with a complex structure hanging under the dome. Those fabrics are desperate enough - the flags and streamers must have the royal emblems and the knightly medals passed down by each existing family from medieval times, and correspond to the dense seats below - fortunately this problem has been solved Similar to those, such as a considerable number of cushions, silk carpets, decorations, candles, wine, etc., the trivial and troublesome preparations were taken over by the nobles reservedly - no one knows those traditions better than them , and no one can start preparing for today's enthronement ceremony earlier than them - this kind of preparation is not just custom-made dresses.
Within a few minutes after the Speaker of the House of Lords and the House of Lords rushed to the Crown Prince, where the future new king would be stationed, with documents in hand, and submitted the resolution made by the House of Lords and House of Representatives as quickly as possible, the Crown Prince, his bodyguards and adopted brothers walked out room, and walked straight to the depths of the palace - one of the most important parts of the coronation ceremony, the coronation crown, can only be taken out by the king (queen), whether present or future, in person.
"Do you know for sure where the coronation crown is?" Wildegg asked. : "Why do I feel like I'm walking into a monastery cemetery?" The light cast by the sun through the window, which had been leaning towards the west, was originally very bright and warm, but as they went deeper, the light in the corridor became darker and thinner. , this is definitely not due to changes in direction and weather. And, the thing rolling around the feet The Necromancer Knight can be sure that it is some mixed negative energy, rather than dust accumulated over time due to the negligence of the staff.
"Your feeling is correct, child." When the last syllable of the Crown Prince's guard's words was still echoing between the dome and the floor, an old, cold, and slow man was not far behind the Necromancer Knight. The sound came next - two dark wizards in dark gray robes came out of the shadows under the wall. They clasped their hands on their chests and abdomens and bent down to Alex. One of them saluted after Turning to Wildegg: "You can't go any further. This corridor can only be entered by the King of Sardinia." He said clearly in a softer and slower voice than before, neither gentle nor fierce - he There was an indescribable fatigue and gloominess in his movements and breathing, as if he were a corpse that had been dug out of a grave and forced to continue working.
What he was referring to was the end of the corridor where they were connected. Unlike other corridors, there were no windows or lights in that corridor. The dark walnut wainscoting and scarlet carpet seemed to absorb all the light. . Alex nodded to Wildegg, signaling him to wait, and then passed over the two dark wizards who gradually disappeared into the portrait, and plunged into the darkness he was familiar with and loved.
The negative energy that gradually became pure and rich completely gathered the undead in his arms. The undead raised his head slightly and slowed down slightly. This kind of negative energy could almost suffocate an ordinary living person to death in an instant. The energy mist made him feel comfortable, very comfortable, like a lost deep-sea fish returning to the bottomless trench - he reached the bottom of the corridor as light and silent as if he was floating, opened the door, The dark corner cupboard was still as Her Majesty had seen it, motionless and peacefully parked in the corner of the room.
Alex opened the cupboard door, and the gorgeous and heavy coronation crown was sitting on the velvet cushion. The crown has always been the symbol that best reflects the wealth and power of the royal family. Whoever possesses the crown will have boundless wealth and impressive The majesty of surrender - and the coronation crown has a completely different meaning. Sarah?'s coronation crown is one of the two medieval crowns in existence in the world. The base is simple in shape and is made of pure gold. It weighs 2.8 pounds and is about a foot high, which is from the elbow to the fingertips. It is lined with mink fur with black spots on a white background. It is inlaid with other crowns as much as possible with various colored gemstones, diamonds, and pearls. Different, its eight arc-shaped arch arms are only inlaid with small but high-quality diamonds. They are like rivers of fire, forming a tower-like base at the center point of the gathering, holding out the A flawless emerald.
This emerald is about the size of a dove egg, with a rich green color and a clear color without any cracks or impurities. It seems that it will turn into water or mist in the forest at any time - in the early morning, you can appreciate the new life through the water droplets hanging on the branches and leaves. Only when the leaves are growing, can humans be lucky enough to see the same beauty; and to make this identification, no magic, experience or knowledge is needed at all. As the poet said, "Even the most ignorant savage can stumble in the moist forest." When he meets emerald, he will be deeply aware of the beauty and preciousness of this bright and crystal clear color."
It is like a heart belonging to forests and rivers, full of vitality, and huge power can flourish anytime and anywhere - this power is not positive energy, of course, nor is it negative energy, it is peaceful, stable, and calm , both accommodating darkness and accepting light.
The undead have stopped, lived, and even explored near it more than once, but they have never felt it, its power and soul.
This is a strong and strong soul.

Wildegg leaned lazily in front of the last floor-to-ceiling window, hiding himself in the shadow of the satin curtains while looking out - from this angle and direction, he could not see all of the Palace Square, but At least one can see the image of the Virgin who once displayed the Holy Relic.
The edge of the square is crowded with people - they are busy setting up silk tents and decorating flowers. At the foot of the statue of the Virgin, which is the center of the square, there is a large area of ????empty space. An old man is wearing ancient and colorful traditional clothes. Walking over with a white cloth bag on his back, people made way for him - it was bulging with no idea what was inside. Wildegg stared at him with interest. He walked all the way to the statue of the Virgin, then put it down and lifted it up. Pocket, pour out the contents - it is soil, dark brown soil, mixed with scattered grass blades.
The eyesight of the undead is extremely good, and you can see that the tiny blades of grass are still green. The soil must have just been excavated.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at the dirt." Wildegg turned around - Alex was standing behind him holding the coronation crown (like a low stool).
Alex approached the window and said, "I think you should knowfor the sake of labor and the time and energy Juana spends on you."
The Death Knight blinked: "Well I think I know, this is the platform of dedication and oath."
A necessary step in the coronation ceremony for the new king of Sardinia - before the new king ascends the throne, the people of Sardinia will elect representatives according to their respective regions, and the representatives will carry a bag of local soil to the place of coronation - The soil from each area is poured together to symbolize the loyalty and dedication of the people to the new king. In contrast, the new king will also swear on this platform made of soil that he will fulfill the obligations of a king to the people.
Alex glanced at the Death Knight beside him: "I think you should know that I never break my promise."
"I'm just being entrusted by others." Wilde revealed his white teeth.
The lich in the crown prince's shell said nothing more, turned around and left while making a gesture - his loyal undead knight followed immediately.
"Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." The undead said calmly.
"What?"
"You love Sardinia." He didn't think anyone could coerce or seduce Wildege so easily to do something he didn't want to do, even when this guy was still a living person.
"that¡¡"
"It doesn't matter," Alex suddenly stopped: "I love Sardinia too."
The Death Knight hit his back hard.
He should have known that his adopted brother, the crown prince of Sardinia, the new king no matter what his external identity is, he is still an arrogant, selfish little bastard after all!
***
"You know my purpose - if you are really willing to make me King of Sardinia - why didn't you show your power earlier?" If that was the case - the Lich knew he would agree to this deal, Twenty years, or thirty years, or even fifty years - when the lich existsTime is much longer than that of humans, and this price is not unbearable.
"Ah." Emerald, to be precise, "Throne" replied: "Maybe it's because it's not tradable, it's what I expected."
"?"
"Commitmentthe heart that is willing to bear cannot be traded or forced."
That's it. ! ~!
