The end of the new calendar 2528.
In the empire, the sixth day to the end of the last month of each year is the festival of the magic goddess Vijenesse Triton. People call it the Birth of God, the most important festival of the year.
After God’s Birth, it is a week-long holiday to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
During the festival, the goddess's people will hold grand celebrations. People will choose to hold some important things at this time, in order to obtain the goddess' good fortune, such as marriage, coming-of-age ceremony, etc., and the ceremony of title titles for nobles.
In winter, there was just a heavy snowfall last night, but it did not affect the atmosphere of the festival at all.
The Rennes and his family sat in the carriage and looked out the window. Purple gauze was hung everywhere on both sides of the street, with various complex symbols painted on it, symbolizing the glory of the goddess.
The faces of the pedestrians also had a look of joy.
Whether you know or not, you will bless each other when you meet, make prayer gestures, say "Goddess bless" or "Truth will last forever."
In small squares or at the corners of the street, people watched the performances of artists, dances, acrobatics, and the singing of minstrels.
On every street, there are phonographs playing wonderful music, praising the wisdom of the goddess.
The children held magic wands and were having fun with their friends on the street.
"That's great!"
Malinda, a expensive dress, sighed.
She is a loyal believer of the goddess. Every year today, she would take her family to the church in the town to pray for a pious blessing. She left the town this year and felt a little regretful, but now she is deeply relieved to see the scene in the city. The goddess's wisdom and glory and prosperity are flourishing.
Bud, who was sitting next to her, nodded, but could not hide his nervousness.
This is on the way to the town hall, and today Rennes will be promoted to nobles and become a noble Baron, and will also get a surname himself.
Things that I once dared not even dream of is about to come true.
Bard's palms were sweating, and he subconsciously wanted to wipe them on them. He lowered his head and saw the black formal outfit on him. Thinking of the price of this dress, he immediately held back.
He looked at Renne sitting opposite him and found that his son's face was calm and very calm.
"Ren has grown up!"
Bud sighed in his heart, took a few deep breaths, suppressing his nervousness.
At noon, the city hall arrived.
The carriage passed the guards and drove into the back of the city hall building. The family got out of the car and walked along the wide road to a large auditorium.
When Malinda saw the hexagonal star sign on the top of the auditorium, it was the holy emblem of the magic goddess, she immediately lowered her head and prayed silently.
"The goddess is above!"
The whole family followed her to pray.
There were two rows of fully armed guards standing at the entrance of the auditorium, and the atmosphere was solemn. An official from the city hall stood on the steps and waited. Seeing Renn, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Renn, and all the gentlemen and ladies, please come with me."
The official is not young, nearly fifty years old, his hair is mostly white, his eyes are covered with wrinkles, but his eyes are still clear and his work is neat.
He is the assistant of Mayor Longshande, who is responsible for celebrations and etiquette affairs, that is, the etiquette officer, named Darenny.
In recent days, Rennes and his family have had a lot of contact with Darrenny.
Darrenny's duty is to teach Rennes the process of the title ceremony without being rude, including dress, movement, aristocratic etiquette, etc.
Ren's surname was also registered by this etiquette official.
What to do at this time? Darrenni has said many times before. Rennes took his family and followed Darrenni into a luxurious lounge through the side door of the auditorium.
The ceremony officially begins for more than an hour, and you must wait here.
Darenny hurriedly gave a few words and left.
There are more than Rennes who will be crowned as nobles today. There are a total of six people on the list, which is the largest number of people in previous years.
From the window of the lounge, you can see the full view of the auditorium.
A tall goddess statue stands, the spacious hall is nearly a thousand square meters, and rows of seats are neatly arranged. The walls around are decorated with purple yarn, and the dome is hung with bright large crystal lamps, solemn, but also quiet in the heart.
Soon after, guests of the ceremony entered the auditorium one after another.
Most of the guests who were invited to participate in the title ceremony were nobles and extraordinary people. Even if they were not, they were also well-known figures in Longshande and had extraordinary personalities.
Each guest was dressed up in a good manner, the men were wearing black formal clothes, and the ladies were dresses and long skirts. They sat in their own positions according to their heights, communicating with the side in a low voice.
As time goes by, the guests in the auditorium gradually fill up.
Bud was restless and paced back and forth in the lounge. Influenced by him, the three children except Rennes were also nervous and excited, looking at the shape in the auditorium from time to time.
Finally, the ceremony began.
A middle-aged man with a high appearance walked out, stood on the steps under the feet of the goddess statue, and gently pressed his hand.
Renn recognized this person, Yaras, the mayor of Longshande, an ordinary person, but he was highly regarded by the Duke of Silver Star. He has been appointed as mayor for more than ten years.
"Quiet."
Yaras' voice spread throughout the auditorium and people immediately stopped talking.
Renn noticed that he was wearing a badge in front of him, which was obviously an enchantment item, which should be accentuation, which could increase the volume of his voice while speaking.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!"
Yaras stood on the steps and started speaking. His face was filled with a smile, which made people feel very friendly, but the content of the speech was a bit boring. It was nothing more than a review of Longshande's achievements this year, his personal achievements, mentioning the earthquake in the Silver Star Region, looking forward to the future, etc.
Rennes remembered the official accent of his previous life.
Fortunately, the mayor's speech didn't last long and it ended in less than ten minutes.
Then announced that the quasi-noble who was about to be granted and his family would be invited to the auditorium.
The guests' eyes immediately focused on the entrance of the auditorium.
While the mayor was speaking, the Rennes family came out of the lounge under the leadership of Darrenny and waited outside the auditorium.
With them, there are five other people who are about to be conferred.
Renn saw Viola at a glance.
Today, Viola is dressed in makeup, with a brilliant blonde hair tied behind her head, revealing her sharp ears and slender neck. She wears an exquisite gem necklace around her neck, which is very suitable.
She was wearing a lilac off-shoulder skirt, with gorgeous and elegant style. You can see a pair of white jade-like collarbones, tall materials, and perfect face. It seems to be glowing up and down, dazzling, making people unable to move their eyes away.
Viola also saw Rennes and smiled at him.
Even though Renn had seen her smile countless times, at this moment, she still felt that everything around her was eclipsed and her mind was swaying.
He was amazed and remembered a poem from his previous life:
"A smile makes people fall into the city, and a smile makes people fall into the country."
Faced with such a peerless beauty, the people around them, regardless of gender, were stunned.
Viola's mouth raised slightly, her heart was excellent, and Rennes could feel it deeply and be happy for her. A few days ago, Duke of Silver Star had announced in the family that Viola had won the competition and became the new Earl of Winter Lake.
Many people received the news and went to Weige Manor to congratulate him.
On the contrary, because Rennes has lived at his home recently, he has fewer opportunities to meet Viola and has not congratulated her in person.
Renne finally moved his eyes away from Viola, saw Pollock, and nodded to him.
There are also three quasi-nobles whom Rennes did not know.
However, I heard from Darenny that all three of them contributed a lot of wealth to the Duke of Silver Star, two barons and one viscount.
Like themselves, they took their families to attend the title ceremony.
The guard opened the door of the auditorium, and six newly promoted nobles and their families walked in, walked along the middle passage to the feet of the goddess' statue, and sat in the front row.
In this process, all the guests' eyes fell on Viola.
There was a burst of wonder and whisper in the auditorium.
"Goddess!"
"She is Ms. Viola, the future Earl of Winter Ting?"
The men sighed: "I don't know who can get her favor, alas..."
"The goddess is so biased towards her..." The women said jealously, their words full of sourness.
Viola became the focus of the audience, her light overshadowed everyone, and Renn walked by the half-elf, but did not attract many people's attention.
Not to mention Pollock and the other three quasi-nobles seemed to not exist.
After everyone sat down, Mayor Yaras whispered: "Gentlemen, ladies, let us welcome His Excellency the Duke."
Under his leadership, the audience stood up.
The shadow of Duke of Silver Star suddenly appeared at the door of the auditorium, followed by three wizards, the commander of Guard Flink, the wood elf Alamia, and the vice president of Silver Star Academy, all of whom were legendary and above!
A holy soul, plus three legends, immediately made the guests feel strong pressure.
Duke of Silver Star held a staff in his hand and wore a gorgeous enchanting robe, which was more formal than usual. He walked into the auditorium and nodded to people.
Mayor Yaras respectfully asked her to climb the steps.
