Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 1264: The Bard and Before the Coronation

The sky was clear blue, and two suns, one big and one small, were shining brightly, reflecting the pure white city standing on the plain. The magnificent momentum rose into the sky, shocking everyone.

This is the place where darkness once ended in the human world and where dawn began. It is also the city of Glorious Light, where Lei Xiao’s coronation ceremony was held.

"It's really hard to imagine that not long ago this place was a dead place full of dark roots."

A strong young woman with a neat ponytail stood at the gate of Glowing City, her slender figure perfectly outlined by her brown tights.

She held the brim of her feather hat with one hand, trying to block out the bright and dazzling sunlight as much as possible, while looking up at the towering pure white city walls.

The majestic city wall was decorated with lights and huge flags hung down, swaying gently in the wind, which looked very shocking.

Among these flags, the seven human nations and three neutral organizations are arranged neatly, which is intimidating, but the most eye-catching are the black and gold flags on both sides of the city gate.

In the middle of the flag, an exquisite golden crown shines brightly. Behind the golden crown, a golden scepter and a silver sword are crossed. Surrounding it are gorgeous textures that symbolize nobility, such as hollow scroll patterns, acanthus leaf decorations, scallop flower decorations, etc. It looks solemn and dignified.

"That sir's emperor flag is really awe-inspiring. I didn't expect that sir has become the emperor of the human world."

The young female warrior with a ponytail had twinkling eyes, and a look of reverence welled up on her delicate wheat-colored face.

In her mind, a tall figure emerged, causing her heart to beat faster.

"Alliance leader, according to your command, one hundred of the most outstanding bards in the human world have taken their positions in the city."

At this moment, a capable old man with gray hair and a lute on his back came up and said excitedly, "We will record the emperor's heroic appearance from all angles, and use words and melodies to pass on the emperor's coronation ceremony, this unique human event!"

"Very good. Go check each post carefully again. The coronation ceremony will begin soon. There must not be any negligence."

The young female warrior coughed lightly, nodded to the capable old man and said, "This is the Emperor's trust in the Bards' Alliance. Even if it costs our lives, we will never let His Majesty down."

At this point, the identity of the strong young woman is self-evident.

It was Carol, the leader of the "Bardier Alliance", who had met Lei Xiao at the neutral organization meeting of the Lengyan Kingdom and swore allegiance to Lei Xiao.

As Lei Xiao gradually gained control of the human world, the "Bardier Alliance", which had decided to stand on the same front with Lei Xiao in times of crisis, naturally grew stronger and stronger, and soon had branches spread to every corner of the human world.

With the bards' singing and collecting of information, Lei Xiao naturally had a new way to obtain intelligence, and was able to better grasp the dynamics of the entire human race.

"By the way, when can I become a direct subordinate of His Majesty the Emperor? It would be great if our relationship could be further improved."

There was a glimmer of desire in Carol's starry eyes, and she said with anticipation in her heart.

"Now is not the time to think about these things. Today is the most important coronation ceremony for His Majesty the Emperor. I must put in my full energy to write poems for His Majesty and sing his praises."

Carol collected her thoughts and refocused her attention on the surrounding scenery.

On both sides of the huge gate of the Glowing City, flags were flying and the ranks were neat and tidy. It was filled with soldiers of the Palace Guard Knights. It looked like there were at least five or six legions, and there was no end in sight.

Behind the soldiers was the team of nobles who came to greet them. Every one of them looked excited and eagerly waiting for the Emperor to arrive, while nervously tidying up their appearance.

"Almost all the royal family members and high-ranking nobles from the seven human nations are present this time. Everyone is proud to be able to catch up with this unique coronation ceremony in the human world."

Carol's starry eyes moved, looking at the princes and grand dukes who were usually high and mighty, but at this moment their eyes were shining like those of their fans, neatly lined up behind the soldiers, and she couldn't help but slightly raised her eyebrows.

It has to be said that this is indeed a unique scene in the human world, and only such a scene is worthy of the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor of the human race.

"As expected of His Majesty the Emperor, these royal nobles even spent a lot of money to buy a lot of magic potions and equipment in order to get their monarch to say a few good words in front of His Majesty. They signed up for the selection of the elite human army one after another, just to get a little attention from His Majesty."

Carol's starry eyes were full of pride, and she put her hands on her hips and said, "It's no wonder. After all, His Majesty the Emperor's vision is to lead the human race out of this corner of the world and to the stars in the outer world."

"If I am appreciated by His Majesty and entrusted with important tasks, not only will I be able to bring honor to my ancestors and bring my family to an unprecedented height, but even if I am promoted to a fifth-level strongman, my life span will be greatly increased. That is not impossible. No wonder these nobles are so fanatical."

"However, His Majesty the Emperor has already established a complete promotion and selection mechanism in order to discover the talents of the human world to the greatest extent possible. In other words, His Majesty values ​​talent and ability the most, rather than bloodline and origin."

"So, if you want to gain the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor, or the Lord, these people have to work hard."

Although Carol is not Lei Xiao's direct subordinate yet, she obviously regards herself as such.

"By the way, the coronation ceremony is about to begin, and I also want to make sure that the lord's heroic demeanor can be recorded in my poem as soon as possible!"

Carol thought so as she took a step forward and walked towards the city gate.

Although the entire city was under complete martial law, even the nobles attending the meeting were not allowed to move around freely.

But as the leader of the "Bards' Alliance", she naturally has more room to maneuver.

Arriving at the city gate, Carol took a look around.

The wide and neatly maintained roads had already been completely cleared. Soldiers and magicians who were maintaining order stood on both sides of the road. Further out, there were also dense crowds of welcoming people, spread over every corner of the street.

Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone had an excited look on their faces, looking forward to the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.

"These are all new residents of Glowing City. They are all people who were displaced due to disputes. According to His Majesty's orders, they were brought here from all over the human world to start a new life here. His Majesty not only gave them a new home, but also gave them hope for the future."

An irrepressible admiration welled up on Carol's delicate face.

For her, who was responsible for writing poems for Lei Xiao, she naturally knew all of this.

"Look! It's Big Sister Carol!"

A clear voice was heard, and a boy and girl around eight or nine years old were seen standing behind the guards, waving their hands happily.

Even though the two men had unknowingly crossed the cordon, the soldiers on the side were not angry. They just smiled and waved their hands, signaling them to go back.

Seeing this scene, Carol couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

Having grown up in the slums, she had a deep understanding that the soldiers were the minions of the corrupt nobles. They were fawning and flattering to the nobles, but they dealt with the civilians with heavy blows, beating and kicking them at a moment's notice.

Nowadays, with His Majesty the Emperor clearing out the corrupt nobles in various countries, this situation is rarely seen.

Even if it happens again, as long as the Emperor or the monarchs of various countries know about it, both nobles and soldiers will be severely punished.

After all, the Emperor's intelligence network is not just the "Gourds' Alliance". There are many other components and direct subordinate forces that have established bases in the dark.

It is precisely because of a series of wise actions by Your Majesty that the human world has closed the gaps not only between countries, but also between nobles and commoners. This is why everyone can unite and fight for the human race and the future.

"Your Majesty once said, 'Are nobles shields that protect the common people, not swords that pierce them?' This sentence really makes me feel deeply moved."

While sighing, Carol walked straight towards the young boy and girl.

"Jerry, Lily, how's the new home going?"

Carol bent down and touched the boy and girl's heads respectively.

Carol was no stranger to this pair of commoner brother and sister. She had visited them when she was collecting materials for Lei Xiao's poetry.

The two were the brother and sister who were rescued from the war by Lei Xiao and Ariel when they went to the Mountain Fortress.

When the material was taken, Jerry and Lily's home was still in the village behind the mountain fortress, but after the ravages of the dark red roots, the village was almost razed to the ground, and they were eventually arranged to live in Glowing City.

"It's so comfortable! Mother and I have never lived in such a big and solid house before!"

Lily's little face was filled with excitement as she responded, "And with the arrangement of His Royal Highness, my mother also found a job weaving for the Temple of Light. She no longer has to worry about her livelihood!"

"Not only my mother, but everyone in the village has got their ideal job!"

Jerry came up and added impatiently, "Sister Carol, let me tell you another secret. My sister and I have successfully passed the test for trainee priests and will soon enter the main temple to study!"

"That's right, it was His Royal Highness who saved us before. When we grow up, we will share His Royal Highness's worries and help Him save more people!"

Lily nodded heavily, her little face full of anticipation as she said, "Mother will be proud of us, and His Royal Highness the Prince will be proud of us too!"

"Sister, I have told you so many times that His Royal Highness is no longer just His Royal Highness, but the supreme emperor of the entire human race!"

Jerry looked at Lily seriously and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to call me Your Highness the Prince. You have to call me His Majesty the Emperor!"

"But I still think His Royal Highness is more approachable."

Lily pouted and asked with twinkling eyes, "Miss Carol, is today really the coronation ceremony of His Royal Highness the Prince, no, His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Of course, today is a day that the entire human world will remember forever, because we have a great guide. He will be crowned emperor today and will show us the way forward so that we will never feel lost again."

Carol's voice was filled with irrepressible nobility. She smiled at the siblings in front of her and said, "You are still young now and may not understand the meaning of this, but when you really grow up, you will be proud of yourself for having the honor of participating in such a grand event, because you have witnessed a historic moment for the human race."

After that, Carol greeted Jerry and Lily's mother, then left the crowd and walked straight towards the city gate tower, which was the place with the widest view and naturally the first place to see His Majesty the Emperor.

Carol walked up the towering city wall via the bridleway. As soon as she arrived at the city gate tower, a familiar group of figures came into her sight.

I saw several Lengyan monarchs busying around on the top of the city, fine-tuning the formation of the soldiers below the city in order to achieve the most perfect visual effect.

Sophia, as well as main subordinates such as Itadori and Kouya, were talking with several generals of the Palace Guard Knights to confirm the deployment of the entire city's guards and the absolute defense barrier to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony.

All in all, the atmosphere on the city wall was obviously extremely tense. Everyone was doing their best without any slacking off.

Seeing Carol's figure, everyone nodded slightly to greet her. This leader of the bards and a famous bard in the human world was undoubtedly an old acquaintance of everyone.

After all, in addition to her own propaganda work, Carol is also responsible for collecting intelligence for Lei Xiao. In the previous confrontation with the Evil God's Chosen Son, the "Bardier Alliance" led by Carol made an indelible contribution. Not only did they praise Lei Xiao everywhere, but they also made the ugly deeds of the Temple of Light public, allowing people to quickly understand the truth of the matter.

After returning the greetings to everyone, Carol took further note.

Under the city wall, the welcoming team was obviously larger. Standing at the front were the monarchs of the seven countries and the leaders of the three neutral organizations.

"Is it almost time? Then it's time for me to show off my skills!"

Carol turned her palm up, and a roll of parchment and a quill pen emerged, obviously ready for creation.

At this moment, a loud and solemn trumpet sounded, playing a welcoming melody.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, a giant dark blue city slowly emerged from the air, looking magnificent.

On the dark blue city wall, battle flags were fluttering and half-elf soldiers were standing in neat rows.

Needless to say, this is exactly Lei Xiao's car, Ice Stone City.
