Chapter 618 The Coronation Ceremony of the Kingdom of Thorns
"Crown a king in person? It's a new experience."
Hearing Hongshi's request, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."
"Your lord has ruined your subordinates. If your lord condescends to crown your subordinates, you will be your subordinates... No, it will be the glory of the entire kingdom of thorns!"
Seeing that Lei Xiao didn't refuse, Hongshi's dark green face showed a look of overjoyed joy, and he repeatedly bowed and thanked him.
Next, under the respectful guidance of Redstone.
Lei Xiao brought Knotweed, Hong Ye, Lian, Randall, Bert, Ju Bai, Ye Cang, Ariel, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Zhao Yan, Benson, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing, a total of fifteen A subordinate, along the corridor of the castle engraved with beautiful elf wall carvings, all the way forward.
In the end, they came to a spacious hall with almost the same area as before.
Before entering the heavy double doors in the hall, Lei Xiao had already noticed.
The entire corridor where this hall is located, like the gate of the castle, has been decorated with lights and decorations, which is quite festive.
On both sides of the corridor, there are neatly hung orange flame-patterned flags with a deep red background and surrounded by dark green thorns. That is the symbol of the Kingdom of Thorns.
Moreover, a large number of goblin servants and maids in orange robes were busy back and forth nervously.
Some are removing the wooden ladders that hang the flags, and some are doing the final wiping, and there is a busy scene everywhere.
However, due to the goblin's short stature and busy chattering, the whole scene looks quite joyful.
When they saw Hongshi coming with Lei Xiao and others, all the goblin attendants and maids saluted respectfully, and all cast awe and grateful eyes on Lei Xiao.
While Lei Xiao nodded in return, he couldn't help but smile.
In addition to being able to tell the gender of these goblins from their clothes, because of the alien effect, I obviously couldn't easily tell them apart in a short period of time. The goblins were almost exactly the same in appearance.
Walking into the majestic coronation hall reflected by the light spar, Lei Xiao looked left and right.
At this time, the hall was empty, and the princes and ministers of the kingdom of thorns had obviously not yet entered.
On the ground in the center of the hall, there is a red carpet inlaid with gold edging, leading straight to the Iron Throne engraved with thorns at the top.
Around the hall, there are still bright red flags hanging, and at a glance, a sense of solemnity emerges spontaneously.
"My lord, the coronation ceremony will start in ten minutes. Please follow your subordinates to the VIP room at the back of the hall to rest."
I saw Hongshi bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "This subordinate has prepared the best tea and pastries in the Kingdom of Thorns."
"Understood."
Stepping on the soft and comfortable red carpet, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then took his own steps.
He went straight to the VIP room behind the Throne of Thorns, bid farewell to Lei Xiao and his subordinates at Redstone for a while, and just sat down for a while, there were scattered footsteps and excited conversations outside one after another.
It seems that the goblins who came to participate in the coronation ceremony have already started to enter.
It didn't take long until the noise outside gradually subsided.
Hong Shi appeared in front of Lei Xiao again, and invited him out respectfully.
Walking out of the VIP room, he came back to the Throne of Thorns, and Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by his subordinates, noticed it.
At this time, under the high platform where the Iron Throne is located, separated by the red carpet in the middle and the elite soldiers on both sides, the spacious and bright hall is already densely packed, with three or four hundred people standing there, or people dressed in Chinese clothes , or goblins in traditional costumes of feathers, or in armor.
I saw a look of excitement on every dark green face.
Among them, many goblin women in bright pleated skirts or grass skirts cast fiery eyes on Lei Xiao, making Lei Xiao's goose bumps all over the ground.
"Next, let us give the warmest applause and the most sincere respect, once again thanking the great savior of the country of thorns!"
Under Redstone's signal, an old man in white robe, Brin Shaman, who was the host, hurriedly said loudly.
"Thank you, Lord Savior!"
Including Hongshi, hundreds of goblins present all knelt on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.
"Everyone, please forgive me."
Lei Xiao, who was used to this kind of scene, naturally handled it with ease.
He first raised his hand slightly to signal the goblins to stand up, then smiled and said, "May the kingdom of thorns prosper."
"May the kingdom of thorns prosper!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's blessing, all the goblins were excited and said in unison.
When the warm atmosphere in the meeting place gradually subsided, the white-robed old goblin shaman first straightened the feathers on his head, and then said loudly: "The next step is the official start, the thirty-seventh king of the country of thorns coronation!"
After the old goblin shaman finished speaking, the goblins in the audience watched with anticipation and excitement.
The soothing and melodious sound of flutes and drums sounded, accompanied by the performance of the goblin band.
I saw a young goblin woman in a white dress and a wreath on her head, holding a shining crown of thorns, slowly walked in front of Lei Xiao, and handed over the crown respectfully.
Lei Xiao, who had received the crown of thorns, turned around and solemnly put the golden crown on top of the red stone that had already stood respectfully.
After finishing all this, Lei Xiao looked at Hongshi, who already had the demeanor of a king, smiled lightly, and said loudly: "From this moment on, the age of kings has come again."
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, the soothing and melodious music just now became high-pitched and enthusiastic.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of deafening cheers and applause instantly resounded throughout the venue, pushing the atmosphere to its climax.
"Redstone, it's your turn to play."
While feeling the extremely warm atmosphere, Lei Xiao nodded to the new goblin king who was also very excited.
"Obey, my lord!"
In the warm atmosphere, Hongshi once again bowed to Lei Xiao, turned around and came to the very center of the high platform.
Seeing that His Majesty the King was about to speak, the audience fell silent immediately, and all the members of the band got up to pay the highest respect to the King.
Noticing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
It seems that the country of thorns has been waiting for a real king for a long time without a king for hundreds of years.
On the other side, Hongshi's dark green face is full of solemnity, and the crown of thorns on top of his head is even more shining under the reflection of the light spar tassel chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"Subjects of the Kingdom of Thorns, please remember this great day: Midsummer 24, 3000, Era of the Stars."
Seeing Hongshi's expression was high, he said excitedly: "Today, the glory not only belongs to me alone, but to everyone in the country of thorns, and even more to our savior!"
Speaking of this, Hongshi first turned around, saluted Lei Xiao again, and then said to the audience again: "Back then, the ancestors went through untold hardships and paid a huge price. Crossed the endless land, came to this gorgeous city, and chose to live here forever, until the end of the world."
"Now, our generation has taken over the helm of the times. We must inherit the behest of our ancestors and build this beautiful home together. Let the glory of Goblins cover this gorgeous city, and we must work hard. Let all races change their attitude towards us!"
"That means that our goblins are no longer a barbaric and ignorant race, but also a brilliant civilization!"
At this time, Hongshi's voice became even louder, and continued: "From this moment on, we have completely controlled the kingdom in our own hands, we will grow because of it, and it will also be brilliant because of us! "
"Brilliant because of us! Brilliant because of us!"
Under the high platform, the excited and enthusiastic voices of the goblins can be heard endlessly: "Long live His Majesty the King! Long live the Savior!"
After that, Hongshi, who was crowned king, struck while the iron was hot, announcing more than a dozen major military and political appointments in the Kingdom of Thorns, as well as severe measures to judge the remnants of the prime minister.
It is worth mentioning that the unlucky goblin centurion before was also promoted and became a deputy captain of Redstone's personal guard.
So far, the core of power in the Kingdom of Thorns has been firmly held by Hongshi himself.
Coupled with the silent gaze of Lei Xiao and all his subordinates, it can be called impregnable.
"Very good. In this way, I can rest assured and upgrade the weapons and equipment of this Goblin Kingdom."
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
After the coronation ceremony, there is a grand dinner.
On the other hand, Lei Xiao brought all his subordinates, and just made a brief appearance at the banquet venue, and then returned all the way to the reception hall just now.
After all, if he continued to stay, the entire banquet hall would probably be filled with Lei Xiao's goosebumps.
In the reception room at the beginning, Hongshi had already prepared a large table of extremely sumptuous dinners with Goblin characteristics.
That is all kinds of honey barbecue sauce, almost all grilled to a tender outside, but only medium-rare monster meat steaks and large meat skewers, sizzling with oil, which is extremely attractive.
Moreover, there are Chao Yan and Hong Ye, which can be heated and reprocessed at any time.
Originally, Hongshi planned to ask some beautiful goblins to serve beside him, but Lei Xiao flatly refused.
In this way, I finished a goblin special barbecue meal with a sense of satisfaction.
Under the guidance of Red Stone, Lei Xiao and the others came to the huge warehouse under the castle.
This is where the Armory is located.
At a glance, the area of the warehouse is extremely vast, almost endless.
And because the country of thorns is relatively scarce in supplies, the huge warehouse looks empty and extremely empty.
"My lord, according to your instructions, at present, 20,000 sets of Goblin Tier 1 weapons and armor and 2,000 sets of Goblin Tier 2 weapons and armor have all been gathered here."
There was still a trace of oily red stone hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to the warehouse door not far away, while bowing and reporting: "My lord, please check it."
"very good."
Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao looked in the direction of the red stone's finger, and found that a lot of common equipment was neatly piled up in that area.
But even so, in the huge warehouse, it is just the tip of the iceberg.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao waved his hands to the main subordinates, signaling to investigate everywhere.
Just in case, when you upgrade your equipment, you naturally cannot be seen by outsiders.
And under the intensive detection of two fifth-tier powerhouses, nine fourth-tier powerhouses, and four third-tier peak powerhouses, even the most powerful stealth masters naturally have nowhere to hide.
After a while, accompanied by galloping figures, "whoosh whoosh" came back to Lei Xiao's side.
A rough voice sounded, it was the voice of the knotweed stick: "My lord, the warehouse has been thoroughly investigated, and there is no one there!"
"very good."
Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao said eagerly, "Okay, you all go out, no one is allowed to come in, just leave it to me."
"Obey! Your lord!"
Hearing the sound, all the subordinates bowed in unison, exited respectfully, and closed the door of the warehouse.
"It's finally time for me to show my talents."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the pile of goblin equipment.
After a hearty upgrade.
In the end, Lei Xiao successfully upgraded 20,000 sets of Tier 1 Goblin equipment to 1 million sets of Tier 1 Goblin equipment and 10,000 sets of Tier 3 Goblin equipment.
The 2,000 sets of Tier 2 Goblin equipment were upgraded to 100,000 sets of Tier 2 Goblin equipment, 900 sets of Tier 3 Goblin equipment, and 100 sets of Tier 4 Goblin equipment.
"Unexpectedly, the goblin's equipment first reached the standard of my elite army."
Looking at the goblins' various tiers of equipment that already filled half of the warehouse, Lei Xiao was overjoyed and said in his heart: "In this way, the goblins will have an elite army with all the third-tier equipment, which will undoubtedly greatly improve the quality of the goblins. Improve the comprehensive combat power of the country of thorns!"
"Moreover, those one hundred sets of fourth-tier weapons and armor are enough to equip a squadron of elite goblin guards!"
Amidst the excitement, Lei Xiao opened the warehouse door, waved his hands and greeted the waiting subordinates ~ to come in again.
"This is?!"
Looking at the large amount of equipment piled up in front of him, a considerable part of which was still shining with intoxicating splendor, Hongshi rubbed his big gray eyes vigorously, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
You know, when he left the warehouse just now, the equipment was just the tip of the iceberg in the warehouse!
Miracle, this is simply a miracle!
"Redstone, the current equipment situation here is like this..."
Looking at the shocked look of the new goblin king with his mouth wide open, almost able to swallow two dragon eggs, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and told the other party the total number of upgraded equipment.
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Hong Shi, who was shocked beyond measure again, turned his dark green head mechanically, moved his mouth for a long while, and finally managed to utter a complete sentence.
"My lord, your real identity... is actually the shaman **** of the goblins?"
