Chapter 751: Chapter 474 [Elf Sage’s Laurel Leaf Crown]_2
Chapter 751 -474 [Elf Sage’s Laurel Leaf Crown]_2
Looking down at the Elf Attendant who was bowing respectfully below, as well as the Humans and Elves who stood far off, their eyes filled with curiosity.
A trace of emotion flowed in Julian’s eyes, and then he spoke loudly.
“Silence!”
Julian’s voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
The last bit of noise in the hall completely dissipated, and it became so quiet that one could hear the breathing of the person next to them.
However, this solemn atmosphere made many people even hold their breath, as if they feared that a careless breath might cause offense.
Julian looked around and said in a deep voice,
“I, Julian Yunus, am honored to stand here today to represent the Elf Council of the Jade City in presiding over the ceremony to bestow the honors of the [Elf Sage].”
“May the most high Correlon guide the future of the Elf Clan, and direct us!
“May the gaze of Goddess Fenrir grant us wisdom and protect us as we move forward!”
Julian gently chanted the revered names of the deities, marking the formality and solemnity of the ceremony.
As Julian’s words fell, all the Elves present bowed their heads in prayer, offering their faith to the Elf Gods.
Lis, seeing this, also bowed his head to fit in.
At most, he was but a Light believer of Goddess Fenrir.
But since he was a Favored of the World Tree Yggdrasil, the Elf Clan did not mind this point.
Julian mentioned these two deities specifically for a reason.
The name of the Elf Main God Correlon appears in all rituals related to the Elf Gods, representing his supreme status and power within the Elf God System.
And as for the Moon Goddess Fenrir, since Lis’s title of [Elf Sage] was bestowed by this deity, it was natural to mention the Elf Goddess.
In the Gaia World, mentioning the names of gods is not a disrespect to the deities.
In ceremonies like the one now in the Elf Temple, mentioning the names of the deities serves to offer the believers’ faith to the gods and to direct the ceremony’s purpose towards these two deities, in order to receive special Divine Power protection and blessings.
Gradually, specks of emerald and white starlight appeared in the midair of the temple, as if casting a holy veil over the entire hall.
Under the influence of the Divine Power, many felt their bodies and spirits much relieved, and their faith in the deities was strengthened.
Lis, on the other hand, didn’t feel anything special; as a Favored of World Tree, ordinary blessings no longer affected him.
“Today here, the Goddess will place the Crown of Wisdom on Lis Kain, cloak him with the Cloak of Victory, and bestow upon him the honor of the [Elf Sage],”
“Lis Kain, with an intrepid stance, trod through a thorny path, forged an immortal legend in Jonor City.”
“His bravery and wisdom shine like brilliant stars in the night sky, illuminating lost pathways in the darkness, defeating the evil schemes of Demon Prince Demogorgon, and bringing an end to destruction and death at the heart of the Elf Royal Court!”
“His exploits, as magnificent as epic poetry, will be eternally recorded in the annals of the Kingdom, forever embellishing the skies of history, illuminating the paths of those who come after, becoming a beacon inspiring countless Elves!”
Julian narrated Lis’s achievements in a chant-like tone, conveying an intangible grandeur and a sense of the sacred.
One could almost see the diminutive figure of Lis standing alone in the Elf Royal Court, bravely facing the dreadful Demon Prince, valiantly swinging his treasure sword in a tragic scene.
This solemn atmosphere dispelled any doubts held by those skeptical of Lis, making them feel ashamed internally.
If the Councilman had said so, then it must be true!
This was tantamount to affirming that Lis, as a Human, had played the most crucial role in the destruction within the Elf Royal Court, while other Elf champions had done nothing.
In such a formal setting, it was almost equivalent to the Elf Clan vouching for Lis with its honor, so how could anyone doubt the truthfulness of what Julian said?
But what others didn’t know was that what Julian said was all true, though he only revealed part of the truth, using these facts to cover up another, more significant part of the situation.
Lis stood quietly to the side, showing no particular reaction.
He realized that the rumors about him in the days following in Jade City and today’s grand formal ceremony in the Elf Temple were both attempts to mitigate the negative impact of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court and to alleviate the panic within the Elf Kingdom.
Was it Julian’s idea, or that of Elf Great Sage Adela?
It seemed the destruction of the Elf Royal Court had indeed delivered a severe blow to the Elf Kingdom.
Even now, the higher echelons of the Elf Kingdom dared not let everyone know the whole truth.
Otherwise, the despair that might arise could lead to even more severe consequences.
Otherwise, how could the Fallen believers of the Evil God, who uphold destruction and chaos, not be completely eradicated?
However, Lis didn’t mind; this also benefited him.
It was as if his reputation within the Elf Kingdom had been elevated to an exaggerated degree.
From today onwards, Lis might just be the most respected Human among the Elf Clan.
Julian stopped speaking, stepped forward, and took the tray from the attendant beside him.
On it lay a folded emerald-green cloak, its tiny magic gemstones twinkling like brilliant stars.
Julian gently shook open the green cloak, and Lis saw the silver emblem of the World Tree embroidered upon it.
Then, Julian personally draped Lis with this vibrant emerald cloak.
Lis felt a special magic power surge into his body, noticeably lifting his spirits.
Huh?
What a fine item!
Just as Lis was expressing his admiration for the grand generosity of the Elf Kingdom without showing any emotion, Julian spoke again:
“Please place the Sage’s crown upon Lis!”
In everyone’s eyes, all the emerald and silver-white light surged towards the top of Lis’s head, continuously gathering.
When the radiance finally dispersed, a crown formed of silver-white branches and emerald-green leaves appeared above Lis and slowly descended onto his head.
This bay leaf crown was a marvel of craftsmanship, perfectly blending elegance with majesty.
The silver-white branches formed the framework, shimmering like a stream flowing under the moonlight, radiating a cool, mystical luster. They were both resilient and graceful, lightly outlining the contour of the crown.
Upon the silver branches, lush green leaves grew abundantly, each leaf resembling a carefully sculpted piece of jade, clear and vibrant.
These branches and leaves intertwined in an orderly fashion, forming clusters of green clouds, lightly covering the crown, adding a touch of freshness and vitality to this distinguished headpiece.
In the Elf Clan, the bay leaves are seen as symbols of victory and glory, and each leaf on the crown seemed to tell tales of endless glory and splendor.
The leaves, crystal-like in appearance, seemed as though they could sway with the wind, representing nature’s highest praise for the bearer.
