Chapter 6: Book Ceremony

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As game characters was much stronger and fitter than real people, many players liked to travel when they first started playing. Xia Yuan was the same.

According to his memory, there was still some time before the official launch.

If those two were indeed players, it would prove one thing:

The beta testing was about to begin!

But this raises another question: is the world real?

“Mystical Era” was a highly realistic immersive virtual game. The NPCs in the game were equally intelligent, no different from real people.

Xia Yuan could not tell if he had transmigrated to a real world or a fake world.

He tried calling the system interface, but there was no response.

However, this was not convincing enough. NPCs were not players. It was reasonable for them to not have an interface.

Hence, Xia Yuan thought of another way to test.

To test his theory, in the game, there must be a pair of pants that the characters in the game could not take off. The female characters even had an extra shirt that they could not take off.

Even NPCs were not exempted!

Countless players tried but were powerless, people called them the wishful ones .

He secretly moved his hands and checked himself.

Fortunately, it wasn’t flat. The wishful ones won’t exist.

But what about those two?

Before another moment’s thought, the carriage shook slightly, they had reached their destination.

The scenery in front of had changed, and the noise of the crowd echoed in his ears. The roof of the carriage, which had originally occupied half of his vision, was replaced by the starry night. Two extremely familiar round moons hung high in the sky.

Silver Moon—Severn! Purple Moon—Ames!

Xia Yuan closed his eyes and sighed silently with mixed feelings.

Only at this moment did he truly feel like he had transmigrated.

But then again, this place looked familiar. Where were they taking me?

……

In the evening, the naming ceremony was held as scheduled in the upper district of Calas City.

The citizens who had already received the news flooded into the white square in front of the City Lord Residence. The huge square with a radius of tens of hectares was almost filled with people.

The naming ceremony was a ceremony that could only be held when the royal family and the four duke families had a new direct descendant. It was usually held in the capital of the family province.

This was an opportunity for the commoners to get to know the new members of the family. The newborns would officially receive their own names under the spotlight of thousands of people.

At that time, the envoys of the royal family and the nobles who received the invitation would come to watch the ceremony.

There was an unwritten rule in the upper echelons of the Gloria Empire:

Only the newborns who had received the ceremony were considered official members of the four major families or the royal family. They were recognized by the upper class of the empire.

An illegitimate child who had never experienced a naming ceremony would not be accepted by the upper echelons even if he was lucky enough to be recognized by his family in the future.

The towering trapezoidal platform stood in the middle of the square. It covered an area of one hectare and was dozens of feet tall. Its main body was made of pure white obsidian.

The crowd surrounded the platform and waited noisily.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the main gate of the City Lord Residence opened. A group of fully armed guards led the way, followed closely by a guard in gorgeous ceremonial armor. Wherever they passed, the crowd would split into two sides like a tide.

The upper and lower classes of nobles both ascended the high platform one after another and gathered in small circles, talking in hushed voices. The mages in dark blue robes were scattered around the high platform, making final preparations for the upcoming ritual.

About half an hour later, the Duke of Kalas’ luxurious carriage, pulled by four pure white Light Unicorns, as well as two other carriages of the same standard, slowly drove out of the mayor’s residence.

On both sides of the beautifully carved black-gold carriage were the Frost Wind Crystal Bird insignias of the Olivendi clan.

If a scholar who was proficient in magic history were present, he would definitely be able to recognize the meaning of the Eternal Crown that was emitting a faint light around the emblem.

An ancient family that had existed for thousands of years had produced more than four ninth-rank experts, including at least one peak ninth-rank experts. They had an extremely illustrious history, and they were still at their peak!

Three carriages stopped in front of the platform. The well-dressed Leonard got off the driver’s seat and opened the door for Duke Karlos.

Today, the duke had changed into a classic black magic frock coat, a top hat, and a white wavy scarf embroidered with gold.

He stepped out of the car and walked to the door of the second car. He extended his right hand gracefully into the car. The gold cufflinks on his sleeves glistened under the moonlight.

A slender hand wearing a lace glove reached out from the carriage and rested on the duke’s hand. A luxuriously dressed figure slowly walked out of the carriage and smiled at the duke.

The Duchess was dressed in a white dress with complex decorations. She elegantly stretched out her lotus arms wrapped in white lace and let the Duke of Karlos hold her.

The long skirt fluttered slightly with magic power, avoiding the ground and dust.

Subsequently, the three descendants of the dukes who had rushed back from their respective territories—their eldest son, Raymond, second son, Evan, and third daughter, Alina.

The group slowly ascended the platform. The ceremonial guards on both sides raised their guns and saluted.

On the high platform, the blue-robed mages finished their final inspection and gathered into a line at the top of the platform.

In front of the sorcerers, Isidor, the chief of the Oliventi family’s mages and the eighth rank Transformation Mage, stood quietly.

He was wearing a black robe with silver patterns on it, and in his right hand was a staff that was about two meters long. The straight body of the staff emitted a silver-gray metallic luster, and the top of the staff was embedded with a huge purple crystal.

Under the moonlight, the light reflected by the crystals and the patterns on the robe interweaved with each other, shining with strange colors.

Seeing that the duke and the others had ascended the high platform, Isidor handed his staff to his left hand, and his empty right hand tapped three times in a triangle in front of his chest. He performed an impeccable mage courtesy.

The dukes and dukes also returned the courtesy of the sorcerers, while the envoy of the royal family gently lifted his hat with his left hand and pressed his cane against his chest with his right hand. He bowed slightly and performed the royal etiquette.

With everyone’s arrival, the ceremony officially began.

Erica carried the confused Xia Yuan and walked to the center of the platform where a three-story stone platform was placed. The higher they went, the smaller the platform.

At the top of the topmost circular platform, 327 silver-black lines that emitted a mysterious aura outlined a strange star pattern with multiple layers of runes. The lower and middle layers were densely covered with mysterious silver runes.

She gently placed the newborn in the center of the circular platform. The silver-black stars lit up with her movements, and the runes around her also began to glow alternately.

When she retreated to the side, Isidor stepped forward and raised the staff in his hand. His low, hoarse voice enveloped the entire platform.

“Let the ceremony begin!”

The sorcerers on both sides began to chant at the same time. The obscure and ancient incantations converged into a mysterious melody.

The oppressive magic power spread in all directions, and a strange atmosphere spread from the top of the platform to the entire square.

This ceremony was not only to confirm the identity of the newborn, but also to strengthen the newborn. The naming ceremony was held on the night of the full moon to make use of the Twin Moons Power.

The mild nature of the condensed moonlight energies could greatly increase a newborn’s aptitude.

The only downside was that each newborn could only receive the blessing of two moons once, performing it a second time would have no effect.
