Chapter 480 [The Elf Sage’s Laurel Leaf Crown]
Emerald City, Elven Temple,
??The usually sacred Elven Temple has completely changed its appearance at this moment.
??The Elf Council of the Emerald City has issued an announcement in advance, which is also something that many people in the Emerald City are interested in.
How long has it been since there was no new Elf Sage in the Elf Kingdom?
??Moreover, the awarding ceremony for the honor of the Elf Sage was not held in the Elf Royal Court but in the Emerald City, which made many elves quite curious.
In the past, this kind of thing was a very important ceremony in the Elf Kingdom!
??However, after discovering that the person who was awarded the Elf Sage this time was named Lis Kane, some elves couldn''t help but be quite curious.
?This name
??It doesn’t sound like an elf’s name, but more like a human’s name?
?? Could it be that the person who became the Elf Sage this time was a human?
This has never happened in the history of the Elf Kingdom, right?
??Many elves asked the official who announced the announcement about the identity of the elven sage, but the officials of the Elf Council left without responding.
This has also made many people interested in the newly emerged Lis Kane.
?Especially for those caravans and traveling traders from the human kingdom, if a human really became an elf sage, that would be a great novelty!
In any case, the Elf Council did not restrict others’ qualifications to observe the elf sage conferment ceremony in the Elf Temple. This also led to many people coming here today, waiting for the start of the conferment ceremony.
In these days, there are rumors that this human named Lis Kane was in the Elf King''s Court when the Demon Prince destroyed the Elf King''s Court.
??And also stopped the demon prince''s plan to extend his black hand to other elven cities.
It is precisely for this reason that as a human, he was awarded the honor of Elf Sage by the elven gods.
This can explain why a human can become an elf sage.
But many people, even those businessmen from the human kingdom, do not believe this rumor.
After all, it is said that Sage Li Si is just a gold-level professional, not even a legend. It is too outrageous to believe that he can stop the terrifying and powerful demon prince.
Many people came here today to see what this rumored elf sage actually looked like.
Even though it was not yet time for the ceremony to begin, the Elven Temple had gathered more people than usual.
Fortunately, this is the Elven Temple, a hall specially used to hold various ceremonies and celebrations, not a place to worship the elven gods.
Hence, the attendants in the Elven Temple did not stop the noise from the flow of people.
It just so happens that the Emerald City also needs such a grand ceremony to eliminate the uneasiness and fear in people''s hearts about the destruction of the Elf King''s Court.
The awarding ceremony of the Elf Sage was held in the largest hall of the Elf Temple, and many elves had been busy for several days in preparation.
In addition to the natural and sacred atmosphere of the past, every place in the palace has been decorated with various exquisite and gorgeous decorations, as if even the air was dyed with festive colors.
??Under the high dome of the temple, there are dazzling gems inlaid, like the brightest stars in the night sky. The sunlight falls into the church through the glass, making the entire temple shine brilliantly.
The light gauze hanging from the top of the hall dances in the wind. It is as white as snow and as light as mist, adding a bit of softness and fantasy to this solemn holy place. Garlands and vines are wrapped around stone pillars and arches, and the blooming flowers emit a faint fragrance, attracting colorful butterflies to dance.
?In the center of the hall, an altar made of pure gold shines brightly, inlaid with gems of various colors, as dazzling as a rainbow. The altar is surrounded by a huge garland woven with flowers. Each flower is carefully selected, colorful and exudes a refreshing fragrance.
All these things show that the Elven Temple is important to today’s society.
The gentle laughter and chatter of the elves and humans participating in the ceremony were intertwined, making the originally quiet atmosphere of the church instantly cheerful.
?The sound of music sounded melodiously. It was the melody played by the elves on ancient musical instruments. It was melodious and beautiful, and seemed to be able to cleanse people''s souls.
After the music started, everyone quickly became quiet.
They knew that the ceremony was about to begin!
唔～唔～
The sound of crisp footsteps sounded, and two figures walked out of the passage at the back of the hall.
Everyone looked over and saw two figures slowly walking over, surrounded by several attendants.
Many people know the old elf with gray hair and a smile walking in front.
This is Lord Julian, the speaker of the Elf Council of the Emerald City.
He is also a very important figure in the Emerald City.
??And walking side by side with him was a young and handsome human youth, whose aura was no less impressive than that of the elf speaker beside him.
?Human youth?
?Many people reacted instantly and stared at him closely.
??This should be the new Elf Sage, Lis Kane, right?
Feeling the looks of countless people present, Li Si continued to move forward under the leadership of Julian without changing his expression.
??Just kidding, he has seen such big scenes as the Elf King''s Court, so what does this situation mean now?
?Following Julian''s footsteps, Li Si quickly arrived at the altar.
?Julian and Lisi walked up the steps of the altar side by side, stood still, and then turned around.
Looking at the elf attendants below who were saluting respectfully, as well as the humans and elves who were staying in the distance, their eyes full of curiosity.
?Julian''s eyes showed a hint of emotion, and then he spoke loudly.
"Quiet!"
?Julian’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in the ears of everyone present.
?The last trace of noise in the hall has completely dissipated, and it is so quiet that you can hear the breathing of others around you.
But this solemn atmosphere made many people even hold their breath, as if they were worried that they would be rude if they were not careful.
Julian looked around and said in a deep voice:
“I, Julian Yunus, am honored to stand here today and preside over the awarding ceremony of the [Elven Sage] honor on behalf of the Elf Council of the Emerald City.”
“May the Most High Corellon lead the future of the elves and guide us in the right direction!
“May the goddess Fenriya’s eyes grant us wisdom and protect us as we move forward!”
?Julian softly recited the names of the gods to show the formality and solemnity of this ceremony.
As Julian''s words fell, all the elves present bowed their heads in prayer and offered their faith to the elven gods.
When Li Si saw this, he lowered his head in a gregarious manner.
??If you really count, he is only a shallow believer of the goddess Fenriya at best. But because he is the favored one of Yggdrasil, the world tree, the elves don’t care about this.
The reason why Julian mentioned the names of these two gods was also special.
The name of the Elf Lord Corellon will appear in all rituals related to the Elf gods, which represents his supreme status and power in the Elf pantheon.
As for the moon goddess Fenriya, because Li Si’s title of [Elf Sage] was conferred by this god, it is natural to mention this elf goddess.
In the world of Gaia, mentioning the names of the gods is not disrespectful to the gods.
?Like the rituals held in the elven temple today, mentioning the names of gods is on the one hand to offer the believers'' faith to the gods, and on the other hand, it is to direct the target of the ceremony to these two gods to obtain special divine blessings and protection.
Gradually, dots of emerald green and pure white starlight appeared in the mid-air of the temple, as if a sacred veil was covering the entire temple.
Under the influence of the power of the gods, many people feel that their bodies and spirits are much more relaxed, and their belief in the gods is a little stronger.
Li Si didn’t feel anything special. After all, as a favored person of the World Tree, ordinary blessings had no effect on his body.
“Here today, the goddess will put a crown of wisdom on Lis Kane, a cloak of victory, and give him the honor of [Elven Sage]!”
“Lis Cain, with his fearless attitude, walked through the thorny journey and created an immortal legend in the city of Drannor.”
“His courage and wisdom are like the bright stars in the night sky, illuminating the lost paths in the darkness, defeating the evil plan of the demon prince Demogorgon, and ending destruction and death in the elven court!”
“His achievements, as magnificent as an epic poem, will always be recorded in the annals of the kingdom, forever embedded in the sky of history, illuminating the path of those who come after him, and becoming a spiritual beacon that inspires countless elves!”
?Julian narrates Lisi''s achievements in a chant-like tone, giving people an invisible sense of grandeur and sacredness.
It is as if one can see Li Si''s tiny figure standing alone in the Elf King''s Court, fearlessly facing the evil and terrifying Demon Prince, and brazenly brandishing the sword in his hand, a scene as tragic as that.
?This solemn atmosphere made those who doubted Li Si give up their doubts and secretly feel ashamed.
The Speaker has said so, so it must be true!
?This is equivalent to admitting that Li Si, as a human, played the most important role in the destruction of the Elf Royal Court, while other powerful elves did nothing at all.
Such a formal scene can even be regarded as vouching for Li Si with the honor of the elves. How could anyone doubt the authenticity of what Julian said?
But what others didn’t know was that everything Julian said was true, but he only told part of the truth and used this part of the truth to cover up another, more important part of the story.
?Li Si stood aside quietly without any special reaction.
He could see that the rumors about him in the Emerald Capital a few days ago, as well as today''s grand and formal ceremony in the Elf Temple, were all aimed at eliminating the negative impact of the destruction of the Elf King''s Court as much as possible, and eliminating as much as possible the negative impact of the Elf Kingdom''s destruction. Feelings of panic.
Is it what Julian means, or what the great elf sage Adela thinks?
?It seems that the destruction of the Elf Royal Court has had a severe impact on the Elf Kingdom.
Even now, the top leaders of the Elf Kingdom dare not let everyone know all the truth.
Otherwise, the despair that arises may have more serious consequences.
Otherwise, how come those followers of the evil **** who are degenerate and worship destruction and chaos cannot be completely eliminated?
?But Li Si didn’t pay attention, which was also good for him.
It is equivalent to directly increasing his reputation in the Elf Kingdom to an exaggerated level.
From today on, Li Si may be the most respected human among the elves.
?Julian stopped talking, took a step forward, and took the tray from the waiter''s hand.
?On it lay a folded emerald green cloak, and the fine magic gems shone like brilliant starlight.
?Julian gently shook out the emerald green cloak, and Li Si saw that the robe was embroidered with the silver coat of arms of the World Tree.
Subsequently, Julian personally put this emerald green cloak on Li Si.
??Li Si felt a special magical power pouring into his body, which made him feel much more energetic.
Um?
What a good thing!
Just when Li Si was expressionlessly sighing at the generosity of the Elf Kingdom, Julian said again:
“Please put the crown of a sage on Li Si!”
In the eyes of everyone, all the emerald green and silver-white light surged toward Li Si''s head, converging continuously.
When the light dissipated, a crown composed of silver-white branches and emerald green leaves appeared above Li Si, and slowly fell to Li Si and was placed on his head.
?This laurel leaf crown is a masterpiece of ingenuity, perfectly blending elegance and dignity.
?Silver-white branches serve as the skeleton, like a stream flowing under the moonlight, shining with a cold and mysterious luster, both tough and soft, lightly outlining the outline of the crown.
?On these silver-white branches, emerald-green branches and leaves grow luxuriantly, and each leaf is like a carefully carved jade, crystal clear and full of vitality.
?These branches and leaves are intertwined and arranged in an orderly manner, forming patches of emerald green clouds, gently covering the crown, adding a bit of freshness and vitality to this noble headdress.
? ? Bay leaves are regarded as a symbol of victory and glory among the elves. Every leaf on the crown seems to tell endless glory and splendor.
The green leaves on the crown are clearly crystal-like but seem to sway gently in the wind. This is nature''s most noble praise to the wearer.
