When it was close to noon, the ceremony officially began.
As the people in the outer city gradually walked onto the streets, the soldiers stationed at every corner of the streets began to tense up. However, because Eudora had already divided the area in advance to prevent people from trampling on each other, the crowd did not appear too densely packed.
In fact, this also had something to do with the 'temple' in the distance. With the help of the Dragons, the cone-shaped 'temple' had reached an astonishing height of 220 meters. It was no longer a 'temple', but a 'tower of heaven'.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was 146 meters tall, and the platform at the top of the Temple of Marhalla was only a few dozen meters away from the floating city of Hovela. Roddy remembered that the observation deck of the central television tower was about 200 meters tall. In other words … such a tall building would stand out even in modern cities, let alone in Eiseka where most buildings only had one floor.
Therefore, as long as the people in the outer city raised their heads slightly, they would be able to see the majestic temple that almost reached the clouds.
Not just Dister City, even the villagers living in the villages dozens of kilometers away could clearly see the huge building standing on the horizon.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this was an undeniable 'miracle'. With a single glance, they knew that it was impossible for humans to do such a thing. Thus, their hearts were filled with admiration and reverence. Before the ceremony even began, many people were already kowtowing in the direction of the temple during their morning and evening prayers.
At this moment, a violent magical wave and golden light flashed. With the help of the Dragons, Priestess Windsor began to use her gentle voice to read the 'speech' that she had prepared beforehand.
The reason why Windsor presided over the meeting was because she was the person with the highest 'commoner recognition' among the old forces of Eiseka, other than Her Majesty Tyria. As she announced her identity, the people in the city pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
In order to ensure that everyone within a few kilometers could hear what Tyria was saying, the Dragons' 'Sound Amplification Spell' no longer simply amplified her voice. Instead, it was broadcasted to all parts of the city through a magic circle that had been set up in advance. This technology was actually similar to a 'broadcast'. However, the people had yet to realize the true function of these magic circles. They could only see a silhouette standing at the top of the golden temple from afar …
Even though Windsor is just a black dot the size of an ant from such a distance, it is the first time that an "individual" can be directly displayed in front of all the residents of a city. Its symbolic meaning is totally different from the feeling of squeezing to the front of the temple to have a look at the temple in the past.
Windsor logically and clearly described the battle that happened a week ago. She explained that Tyria had taken the initiative to attract the demons to descend as' the demons had tried to corrupt the temple and succeeded. Her Majesty and the priestess' troops had died heroically in the battle '. She did not mention the contribution of the Dragons at all. Instead, she attributed all the credit to' the return of Tapris's mighty divine power 'and' the descent of the Andar Priestess's incarnation '…
In fact, the people did not care what the truth was. They were more willing to hear what they wanted to hear. The people who had been healed by divine power knew that it was the god who had saved them day and night. They were instantly excited.
The people who had been arranged in various parts of the city were now shouting the taboo name of 'Tapris'. Hearing these words, the people could not help but follow suit and shout.
Listening to the wave-like shouts, the Windsor Priestess looked at the city buildings that looked like a miniature landscape and the tiny figures of the people. She swallowed hard and turned to look at Sally and Roddy behind her.
"We can proceed to the next step."
After Roddy said this, Sally, who was beside him, nodded and slowly stepped forward. She was holding an ordinary wooden scepter in her hand. This was purely for show. But after she raised the scepter, the vast divine power that was suddenly emitted could not be concealed.
A huge golden halo suddenly spread out. Soon, waves of exclamations rose and fell from below.
Immediately after, three huge snake shadows circled around the screen of light and flew past.
These were not the three vipers of the 'Viper's Kiss'. In fact, they were lying on the ground beside Sally. The hundreds of meters long shadow that appeared in the sky was actually an illusion released with the help of the three crystal dragon elders below.
For ordinary people, there was no essential difference between illusion and divine power. Because from the beginning, Windsor had already hinted that this was the 'incarnation of Priest Anda'. So, when three snake shadows appeared in the sky, the people had already collectively knelt on the ground and shouted words such as' True God above '. Some of them were so excited that they even cried bitterly and lost control of their emotions …
The army responsible for maintaining order on the street suddenly felt the pressure at this moment because many people shouted and wanted to run to the temple area, trying to get close to the 'messenger of the god'. However, they were separated and did not cause any trouble. They were quickly stopped by the heavily armed soldiers.
Sally released three divine spells toward the sky in a row, and the golden halos that were created didn't dissipate. They spread out in all directions for a long time before slowly disappearing. Due to the clear weather at the moment, they could be clearly seen from dozens of kilometers away.
The ceremony was almost over. Sally did not tell these people her name and identity because her appearance at this time was completely a "symbol" for people to worship.
Sally, who maintained a serious expression, was indeed like a statue at this time. The Windsor priest next to her looked at her in a trance, but then she saw Sally shrugging and exhaling. She looked back and said, "It should be over, right? When can we go back? It's too sunny here … "
She raised her hand to cool her eyes and looked around. She did not have the solemn look just now. She was more like a young girl. She took two light steps back to Roddy's side.
The latter had just checked the description of the 'Divine Realm Control' skill and confirmed that the 'duration' shown above was indeed increasing.
This proved that his previous guess was right. The more fanatical the believers were and the more people there were, the greater the range and time limit of the skills that he could use.
Although today's ceremony was short, it was shocking. The effect of the harvest was needless to say. And as long as this huge temple stood here, the believers would only become more and more devout.
He took Sally's hand and took two steps back. Then he signaled Windsor to continue the next speech. The latter blinked, coughed, and hurriedly stepped forward to announce the change of the kingdom's power arrangement …
From today on, Eiseka no longer had a "royal family". Because the real "monarch" could only be "the messenger of Tapris", "the incarnation of Anda Priest" … Sally the First.
The "high priest of the temple" was held by Udora. This was because she "surrendered" early and indeed performed well. Windsor herself was removed from the position of high priest. She just followed Sally and became a "servant".
This position sounded to have no authority, but because she was a person around the "emperor", Windsor's future voice was likely to be no less than that of Udora. In addition to simple checks and balances, such an arrangement was more to let Sally and Roddy have a more detailed understanding of the customs and trends of Eiseka so that it would be convenient to adjust the national policy in the future.
As for other people, Windsor naturally would not say much at this time. After the speech, the shadows of the three giant snakes dissipated. However, the people kneeling on the ground were unwilling to leave for a long time. Even when night fell and Sally got on the transport plane to return to the Kingdom of Karen, there were still countless people in the city praying to the temple …
And Roddy, standing on the edge of the City of Hovela, silently overlooked the sparkling city below. He turned his head and said, "Turn on the invisibility, let's get ready to go."
