Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 454: Sacrifice?Still on the throne!
Not long after Yelin left, Jacket, who was covered in bruises, was found by soldiers, and he was taken back to Ghent urgently, or forcibly, to undergo a detailed medical examination in the hospital.

The news of the sudden explosion of the sea train also spread throughout Ghent.

The general turned into a wounded person strangely, so the matter of arresting Jacket had to be shelved for the time being, and it was not a day away.

Anyway, as soon as the ceremony starts tomorrow, Jackett will be "judged" by the noble council and severely punished for his crimes. The council is fully sure to remove him from his position!

…………

As the sky darkened until evening, in the single ward, Jacket looked at the bandages on his body, feeling a little disliked and disgusted.

It's just a little skin trauma, just apply some medicine, there's no need to waste medical resources like this.

You must know that the medical resources in the Eaton Industrial Zone are almost exhausted.

He doesn't have time to care about his injury now, he wants to see the princess, and he has a lot to say.

Someone suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"General, you'd better pay attention to your health."

Although I haven't seen him for a long time, he still has that calm smile, a face that is too clean and even a little weak, and a coquettish folding fan that never leaves his body.

"Jurgen, long time no see, I'm fine now."

The big general has a burly body and a loud voice, forming a sharp contrast with the weak and bookish Jurgen, and the same is true for their positions.

"No, General, whether you are in good health or not is not up to you, but to the doctor."

Today's Regent placed the gift on the table, smiling with concern, as if the two were best friends.

Jackett said he was fine, he wanted to leave the hospital to see the princess, Jurgen, and he naturally objected, implying that you are imprisoned until tomorrow.

"Oh, I didn't expect that there are people from you in the army, Jurgen, you are so calculating."

"Miao Zan Miao Zan, General, you... rest assured... rest, there will be a ceremony tomorrow, and members of the council will be there, Your Royal Highness, you have studied well."

Jurgen came and went quickly, and within a few words, he turned around and closed the door to leave.

Through the crack of the door for a moment, Jacket keenly saw a pair of shoes, a pair of military boots.

Someone was guarding him at the door, or imprisoned, and didn't want him to see Alizee.

"You want to use my blood to cleanse the House of Nobles."

Snapped!
Lighting a lingering cigarette, Jacket frowned secretly. He probably understood part of Jurgen's plan to use himself as a "sacrifice".

He was able to sit in such a position, and it was not just a brute strength and courage. The problem was that he was always uneasy if he couldn't see the final result of the plan.

In other words, even if the plan is feasible, he still can't trust Jurgen.

…………

The clean and soft white clouds, like fish scales, are arranged irregularly over the entire sky of Ghent, blocking the scorching sun that is about to radiate scorching energy. A breeze blows the streets and alleys, and the whole heaven seems to be fresh and cool.

Today's Ghent is obviously awakening faster than before, whether it is a civilian or a bureaucrat, or surprises and expectations, or calm and indifferent.

The blessing sacrifices that had been cut off for several years in the heaven world due to the invasion of Carret, under the auspices of the new supreme priest Alizee, once again reopened a grand prelude.

A long, long time ago, Bakar issued the "Magic Ban Order" which led to the vigorous development of technology in the heavens, but with it, there are also sacrifices and divination!
In this world where all weapons and equipment speak with "data", there are still superstitious divination predictions, which is really unbelievable.

Because of the cessation of magic, the "Blessing and Sacrifice" has in a sense been covered with an incomparably mysterious veil of "the last magic in the heavens".

Starting from the first sacrificial priest Yilini, praying for blessings and offering sacrifices has been a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the heavens.

Although at present, the sacrifice does not seem to have any substantive effect. It can neither deal with Kalet nor expel Anton, but it is a spiritual symbol.

As for the post-war cleanup work, the imperial palace was naturally the first to be listed as the primary target.

In the spacious and tidy palace square, the ground is neatly paved with white bricks and stones, carved with jade railings, and the surface of the palace walls is whitewashed to remove traces of smoke and bullets.

This is the square inside the palace, sacred and solemn, generally closed to civilians.

The flag of the Seventh Empire was erected on the side of the gate of the palace, fluttering with the wind, just like the hearts of the people.

Regent Navello Jurgen and Commander-in-Chief Jacket Elroth lined up on both sides of the steps, all dressed in formal attire, staring at the civil and military officials on the square.

Above the steps, at the main entrance of the palace, there is one, and only one seat, which is the seat of the highest priest, but it is empty now.

At the bottom of the steps, in front of Jurgen and Jacket, were a group of members of the council in uniform, as well as officers in military uniform.

At the same time, Feiyan and other imperial court ladies and other court ladies are farther away, or behind the officials.

A brand new red carpet stretches from the highest sacrificial place to the outer wall of the palace!

Yelin and Hiate are also in the third echelon, that is, outside the army, political leaders, and officials of various factions, they are about to approach the gate of the other end of the palace.

Originally, there was no place for them here. As the rewarded figures, they should wait outside the inner square of the palace to be called.

It was Jurgen who said that the heroes of the heavens should not be neglected, so he found a place for them to stand in the last position.

Naturally, it is impossible for the common people to flock to watch the great festival of the heavens. The danger factor and the noise are too difficult to manage.

Through a series of video transmissions, the on-site images can be transmitted outside the palace, and even to the Eaton industrial area, where they can be projected for the public to watch.

The heavens do not believe in gods, and there is no person with infinite power like "Mar". Although the mechanical seven gods of war have been almost deified, they ended up in a tragic tragedy after all, and there is a trace of fireworks invisibly.

Therefore, the object of blessings and sacrifices in the heavens for hundreds of years is "heaven"!
Above the sky, there is no visible form, no specific name, some kind of spiritual sustenance, God!

Sacrifice, of course, requires the use of reasonable sacrifices or tributes, and then with someone as the leader, certain etiquettes are used, such as pious kneeling, declaring prayers, lighting incense, and so on.

Coupled with the absolutely unmistakable ritual process, represented by the highest priest, communicate with the "heaven" where the spirit is entrusted, and pray for good weather, peace of the country and people.

It will take half a day to complete a set of sacrifices, if it goes well, if there are some extra things in the middle, it will probably last until the afternoon.

This is not only a test for the spirit, but also a severe physical test for the important people inside the palace, especially those who can stand here.

However, many people stared at the position of the highest priest out of the corner of their eyes, full of puzzlement.

What about the necessary ceremony tables and offerings?
Accompanied by the loud and high-spirited music, everyone restrained their minds, lowered their heads slightly, arched their hands on their chests, and their faces were neither happy nor sad.

A beautiful and delicate figure stepped on the red carpet at a fixed pace, slowly walked in from the palace gate, and walked towards the only seat above the steps.

One step behind Alizee, followed by the extremely respectful Marlene Kishika, and...Tai L.S. Xiuz with terrified eyes, trembling body, and pale lips.

Almost all the people in the celestial world saw the priest Xiuzi who was obviously in a bad state, and the dazzling branch-shaped golden crown on Alizee's head!
No, that's not a branch at all, but a beautified crown of dragon horns!

Standing on the first step, Jurgen's expression changed suddenly. Regardless of etiquette, he quickly turned his head and stared at Jackett, hoping to see his reaction.

However, the general also looked puzzled.

Because the highest priest in the past has never had such a gorgeous golden crown!
"The fate of the Jurgen family is in your hands."

This is a note that Ye Lintuo Gu Yu quietly sent him last night, a note that made him sleepless all night.

In an instant, a bright light flashed in Jurgen's mind, and he, who had always been calm, murmured for the first time.

"It turns out that the golden crown with dragon horns, and the dragon horns symbolize the giant dragon. The golden crown is called imperial power. The emperor of the dragon is the enthronement of the emperor today! It is not a sacrifice for blessing!"

　From the perspective of cg, Alizee's crown is in the shape of a dragon's head.
