Passionate drums resounded through the halls of the Triumphal Palace with a bright rhythm.
Today, the sun was shining brightly. In the Triumphal Palace of Dawn Fort, the bright sunlight cast golden patches through the high windows, illuminating the black marble floor of the palace. Six gray stone pillars that required many people to hold up the arched dome. On the dome, a scene of an epic war was pasted with bright Marcellite tiles. It was the famous painting "The Rise of the Empire" with the theme of the decisive battle at Mount Dawn. It recorded the great battle that determined the rise and fall of the empire in an artistic way forever.
Today was the day that Tangerio Great Emperor would award Allen the honor. The Triumphal Palace was already filled with spectators early in the morning. Those who could enter the palace were all ministers of the empire or nobles of the royal family. Since Allen's recruitment of Julian was already well known, the Second Prince and Prime Minister Nabott's faction were the most numerous in the crowd today. Secondly, there were some neutral people, but most of them were young ladies and madams from various clans.
Compared to Allen's many achievements along the way north, including the confrontation with Midian in the ruins of the old Great Wall. The ladies were more concerned about the appearance of the Southern Sir. After all, this man had first taught the son of General Arkham a lesson on the Golden Bridge, and then forcefully contradicted Prince Hawson when he first arrived in Olisga because of his relationship with a woman. If such a man who was both heroic and romantic as a Knight looked like a short winter melon, wouldn't it spoil the scenery?
Apart from these people, there were only a few people from Hawson's faction left. However, not to mention Hawson, even Roderick did not arrive. In the end, not even half a person from the Fourth Prince Savis faction could be seen. It was unknown if he was uninterested or if he did not put Allen in his eyes at all.
"Earl Allen has arrived!" At this moment, a master of ceremonies sang at the entrance of the palace. The people in the palace hall immediately turned their gazes to the entrance. A moment later, a figure walked in from the bright sunlight outside the door. Stepping on the golden spots on the ground, his silver hair reflected the light. The dust in the air drifted down and landed beside him like starlight fireflies falling from the night sky. The pure white uniform and the black shirt created a simple and pure sense of beauty. The gold thread necktie was pinned to the collar, and the jewel pin became the focus of attention.
The cuffs and horns were all embroidered with complicated patterns with golden embroidery, and the golden wolf head on the chest was the emblem of the Count's territory. Gojoseon was tied to a belt made of gold and other metals. Allen held the hilt of his sword as he strode toward the center of the palace. Everyone's eyes immediately lit up. Especially those young ladies and madams, their eyes were almost spitting fire!
To them, this young Count was the number one choice for their dream lover, be it in appearance or temperament. Immediately, the two sides of the crowd exclaimed softly. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in the palace, they would have screamed.
The Prime Minister chuckled and said, "Our Earl Allen has an extraordinary appearance."
Julian also sighed. "Compared to some of my brothers, he's more like a prince."
Allen walked to the central platform of the Triumph Palace and stopped. Then, the master of ceremonies in the hall sang, "The King is here!"
Under the platform, regardless of status, everyone knelt on one knee. Only Nabott bowed to the platform. Such an honor was exclusive to him and Roderick. Allen also half-knelt on the ground and lowered his head according to the etiquette officer's instructions. He heard a series of footsteps on the platform, and an invisible might surged down like a river, flooding everyone in the hall. Everyone, including Allen, felt the might of the king as heavy as a mountain.
Allen knew that Tangerio had arrived. The Great Emperor only needed to release his aura to know that he was also a top expert. In fact, Tangerio's strength was enough to be ranked among the Ten Saints, and he could sit firmly in the second seat. However, due to his special identity, he was not ranked among the Ten Saints. Otherwise, the Ten Saints would have nothing to do with Midian. The might that Tangerio released was just right, forming an invisible sense of oppression, but it was not enough to cause ordinary people to faint.
The footsteps stopped, but a forthright voice sounded, "Everyone, rise." With the Great Emperor's words, everyone stood up again, but everyone lowered their heads. No one dared to look at the platform. Tangerio continued, "Five hundred years ago, outsiders ruled the world." They enslaved humans like poultry. The human race was born weak, and the outsiders were as fierce as tigers and wolves. That was the darkest period in the history of our race. Although the resistance of humans never stopped, it was a pity that we were not united, like a plate of loose sand. It was not until the late Emperor Clegan shouted that the dawn of hope was ushered in. The decisive battle at the Mountain of Dawn witnessed the rise of the empire. "
"In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed. Time flies, and the rivers change course. However, there is one thing that does not change, and that is the blood that flows in each of our hearts. It is the most precious legacy left behind by our ancestors. It is in our blood, in our souls, constantly reminding us not to forget that today's peace came from blood and bones! If we want to continue peace, there must be some warriors among us who dare to go to the battlefield, and I am glad that there are many of these brave people. Today, a brave and powerful warrior has come to me. He is our Earl Allen! "
The drums rang out, and the people on both sides of the hall applauded like thunder. Julian, who was opposite him, winked at Ellen and stepped onto the platform. Allen took a deep breath, raised his head, and walked up the stairs. As he gradually climbed the platform, he first saw the gold-plated floor on the platform. Then there was the velvet edge of the cloak, and finally a majestic figure that seemed to be able to hold up the world.
He finally saw Tangerio!
The king of the human empire was in his prime. Under his black and coarse hair was a rough and dignified face. The crown on Tangerio's head shone brightly. It was made of gold and engraved with mysterious and ancient symbols. Those were the ancient runes of the empire. At the edge of the crown were nine golden spikes that looked like spears and swords. They seemed to imply that every monarch of the empire had to withstand the test of swords and war. The crown was decorated with gems and silver ingots, representing the dignity of imperial power.
Tangerio was dressed in golden armor, and a valiant lion's head was carved on his chest. Behind him was a scarlet cloak with a high collar, and the edge of the cloak was decorated with a circle of pure white fur. He held a gorgeous and mighty greatsword in his hands, making the emperor look even more like an invincible god of war.
At this moment, the Great Emperor's gaze turned towards Allen. Allen felt that his gaze was like a torch, as if he wanted to see through him. Before he could react, the Heavenly Fire Origin Energy in his body surged with all his might, brazenly colliding with the Origin Energy contained in the Great Emperor's gaze. Immediately, an invisible fluctuation spread out from the Triumph Palace. Below the platform, many noble ladies and young ladies cried out in alarm. Even more people staggered as if they were drunk, almost falling to the ground.
Everyone felt a series of tremors on the ground, as if an earthquake had occurred. However, he didn't know that Tangerio and Allen had used their gazes to fight. At this moment, Tangerio's gaze softened and was no longer as sharp as before. Allen knelt down on one knee and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, please punish me."
Only Tangerio understood what he meant. Although Allen had a natural reaction, it was disrespectful above the palace, so there was the word punishment. Tangerio smiled and shook his head, "I'm not that stingy, but your power actually has a bit of Void Origin Energy. No wonder you can attack and defend each other without reaching Level 30."
This time, it was Allen's turn to be stunned. Tangerio only touched his gaze and could feel that his Origin Energy was unusual. In other words, even if Tangerio didn't possess Void Origin Energy, he still knew one or two of them.
At this moment, the Great Emperor said loudly, "Today, with your eyes and ears as witnesses, I hereby bestow the title of Earl to this person in front of me. I hope that Earl Allen will serve the empire more in the future."
After saying that, he raised the giant sword in his hand and gently patted Allen's shoulder. The ceremony was completed.
There was another round of applause from below the stage.
Tangerio withdrew his giant sword and said in a voice that only Allen could hear, "I heard about you contradicting Hawson at the city gate two days ago. I said the same thing about the Great Emperor. Hey, you brat, a man should be like this. Do your best! "
Then he turned around and left.
Allen was ashamed. He didn't expect that even Tangerio would care about such a thing.
The emcee sang again, "Send the King off."
Naturally, there was another round of worship. When Allen got off the platform, everyone surrounded him to congratulate him. After all, it was a supreme honor to be awarded the honor by the Great Emperor. Moreover, Tangerio's words just now were filled with the intention of commending Allen. Who could stand in the Triumph Palace and not hear it? They had lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and guessing the Great Emperor's intentions was somewhat instinctive. Since Tangerio was so optimistic about Allen, the young count naturally became the object of his best efforts to win him over, even if he was now working for the Second Prince. But this was only the present. As for the future, who could say for sure?
Julian wasn't in a hurry to congratulate him like the others. First, his identity was special, and second, it was too artificial. After privately instructing Rhine to hold a banquet for Allen in the evening, he nodded to Allen from afar and left behind Nabott. Allen was surrounded by the people in the palace. Fortunately, Rhine helped him out of the encirclement. However, in the short ten steps that he had taken out of the crowd, he did not know how many young ladies and madams had secretly sent him off.
When he walked out of the Triumph Palace with Rhine, Allen had already received many invitations to banquets. Of course, most of them didn't need to pay attention to it. As for whose banquet it was up to Rhine to choose. Allen still thought that he could go back to the manor to rest, but the two Silverfrost Guards bowed and stopped him. Turning around, a palace maid smiled at Allen and said, "Earl Allen, Princess Shu Sha invites you."
