Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 618 The coronation ceremony of the Kingdom of Thorns

"Crowning a king in person? It's a completely new experience."

After hearing Hongshi's request, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Then I'd rather obey your orders with respect."

"The lord has defeated his subordinates. The lord can condescend to crown his subordinates. It is the subordinates... no, it is the glory of the entire Kingdom of Thorns!"

Seeing that Lei Xiao did not refuse, Hong Shi's dark green face showed an overjoyed expression as he bowed and thanked him repeatedly.

Next, under the respectful guidance of Hongshi.

Lei Xiao took Huzhang, Hongye, Lian, Randall, Bert, Jubai, Yecang, Ariel, Nanxing, Nanyue, Chaoyan, Benson, Baiwei, A Ling, and A Bing in total, fifteen A subordinate, walking along the castle corridor engraved with beautiful elven wall carvings.

Finally, we came to a spacious hall with almost the same area as before.

Lei Xiao had already noticed it before entering the thick double doors of the hall.

The entire corridor where the hall is located, like the gate of the castle, has been decorated with lights and colors, giving it a festive atmosphere.

On both sides of the corridor, there are neatly hung orange flame pattern flags with a dark red background and surrounded by dark green thorns. That is the symbol of the Kingdom of Thorns.

Moreover, a large number of Goblin attendants and maids in orange robes were busy going back and forth nervously.

Some were removing the wooden ladders with flags hanging on them, while others were doing the final wiping. There was a busy scene everywhere.

However, due to the Goblin's short stature and busy chattering, the whole scene looked quite joyful.

When they saw Hongshi coming with Lei Xiao and others, all the Goblin attendants and maids saluted respectfully, and looked at Lei Xiao with awe and gratitude.

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, due to the alien effect, I obviously couldn't easily tell them apart in a short period of time. The goblins looked almost exactly the same.

Entering the coronation hall, which was magnificently reflected by light crystals, Lei Xiao looked around.

At this time, the hall was empty, and the princes and ministers of the Kingdom of Thorns had obviously not entered the venue yet.

On the ground in the center of the hall, there is a red carpet inlaid with gold, which leads directly to the Iron Throne at the top, which is engraved with a pattern of thorns.

There are still bright red flags hanging around the hall. At a glance, a sense of solemnity arises spontaneously.

"Lord, the coronation ceremony will begin in ten minutes. Please follow your subordinates to the VIP room at the back of the hall to rest."

Hongshi bowed slightly and said respectfully: "My subordinates have 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 and bid farewell to Red Stone's Lei Xiao and his subordinates for the time being. Not long after they sat down, scattered footsteps and excited conversations were heard outside.

It seemed that the goblins who came to attend the coronation ceremony had already begun to enter.

It didn't take long until the noise outside gradually died down.

Hongshi appeared in front of Lei Xiao again and respectfully invited the latter out.

After walking out of the VIP room and coming to the Throne of Thorns again, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, noticed.

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 was already densely packed with three or four hundred people standing, or wearing gorgeous clothes. , or goblins wearing traditional feathered costumes, or wearing armor.

I saw an excited look on every dark green face.

Among them, there were many Goblin women wearing brightly colored pleated skirts or grass skirts. They all cast blazing eyes at Lei Xiao, making Lei Xiao's skin crawl.

"Now, let us once again express our gratitude to the great savior of the Kingdom of Thorns with the warmest applause and the most sincere respect!"

At Hong Shi's signal, an old white-robed goblin shaman who was serving as the host on the side quickly spoke loudly.

"Thank you, Lord Savior!"

Including Hongshi, hundreds of goblins present knelt on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.

"Excuse me, please."

Lei Xiao, who has long been used to seeing this kind of scene, naturally handles it with ease.

He first raised his hand slightly to signal the goblins to stand up, and then smiled and said: "May the Kingdom of Thorns prosper."

"May the Kingdom of Thorns prosper!"

After hearing Lei Xiao's blessing, the goblins also excitedly said in unison.

When the heated atmosphere at the venue gradually subsided, the old goblin shaman in white robes first straightened the feathers on his head, and then said loudly: "The official process will begin now, the thirty-seventh king of the Kingdom of Thorns. The coronation ceremony!"

After the old goblin shaman finished speaking, the goblins in the audience watched with anticipation and excitement.

Soothing and melodious flutes and drums sounded, accompanied by the performance of a goblin band.

I saw a young goblin woman wearing a white dress and a wreath on her head, holding a shiny crown of thorns, slowly walked up to Lei Xiao, and respectfully handed the crown over.

After receiving the crown of thorns, Lei Xiao turned around and solemnly put the golden crown on the top of the red stone that had already been standing respectfully.

After completing all of this, Lei Xiao looked at Hong Shi, who already had a kingly demeanor, and smiled lightly, saying loudly: "From this moment on, the era of kings has come again."

As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, the soothing and melodious music suddenly became high-pitched and enthusiastic.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of deafening cheers and applause instantly resounded throughout the venue, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

"Hongshi, it's your turn."

While feeling the extremely warm atmosphere, Lei Xiao nodded towards the new Goblin King who also looked extremely excited in front of him.

"As you command, Lord Lord!"

In the warm atmosphere, Hongshi bowed to Lei Xiao again, then turned around and came to the center of the high platform.

Seeing His Majesty the King preparing to speak, the audience immediately fell silent, and all members of the band stood up to pay their highest respect to the King.

Noticing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

It seems that the Kingdom of Thorns, which has not had a king for hundreds of years, has been waiting for a real king for a long time.

On the other side, Hong Shi's dark green face was full of solemnity, and the crown of thorns on his head was shining brightly under the light crystal tassel chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

"All subjects of the Kingdom of Thorns, please remember this great day: Midsummer 24th, 3000 Years of the Stars Era."

Hong Shi's expression was high-spirited, and he said excitedly: "Today, the glory does not only belong to me, but to everyone in the Kingdom of Thorns, and even more to our savior!"

Having said this, Hongshi first turned around, saluted Lei Xiao again, and then spoke to the audience again: "Back then, our ancestors went through untold hardships and paid a huge price before they finally succeeded. I crossed the endless land and came to this gorgeous city, choosing to live here forever until the end of the world."

"Now, our generation has taken over the steering wheel of the times. We must inherit the legacy of our ancestors and build this beautiful home together. Let the glory of goblins envelope this gorgeous city. We must also work hard. Let all races change their attitude towards us!"

"That means we Goblins are no longer a barbaric and ignorant race, but also a splendid civilization!"

At this time, Hongshi's voice became louder and louder as he continued: "From this moment on, we have completely taken the kingdom into our own hands. We will grow because of it, and it will also be glorious because of us! "

"Brilliant because of us! Brilliant because of us!"

Under the high platform, the exciting and enthusiastic voices of the Goblins could be heard: "Long live His Majesty the King! Long live the Savior!"

After that, Hongshi, who was crowned king, struck while the iron was hot and announced more than a dozen major military and political appointments in the Kingdom of Thorns, as well as severe measures to judge the remaining prime ministers.

It is worth mentioning that the previous unlucky Goblin Centurion was also promoted and became a deputy captain of Red Stone's personal guard.

At this point, the core of power in the Kingdom of Thorns is firmly in Hongshi's own hands.

Coupled with the silent gaze of Lei Xiao and his subordinates, it is naturally impregnable.

"Very good. This way, I can safely upgrade the weapons and equipment of this Goblin Kingdom."

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

After the coronation ceremony, there was a grand dinner.

Lei Xiao, on the other hand, took his subordinates and only made a brief appearance at the dinner venue before returning to the reception hall just now.

After all, if he continues to stay, I'm afraid the entire banquet hall will be filled with Lei Xiao's goosebumps.

In the reception room at the beginning, Hongshi had already prepared a large dinner table that was extremely sumptuous and had Goblin characteristics.

There are all kinds of barbecue sauces smeared with honey, almost all of which are burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, but there are only medium-rare monster steaks and large meat skewers, which are sizzling with oil and are extremely tempting.

Moreover, there are also Chaoyan and Hongye, which can be heated and reprocessed at the right temperature at any time.

Originally, Hongshi planned to invite some beautiful goblins to serve him, but Lei Xiao flatly refused.

Just like that, I finished a goblin-style barbecue meal with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

Under the guidance of Hong Shi, Lei Xiao and others arrived at the huge warehouse located underground in the castle.

This is where the armory is located.

At first glance, the warehouse is extremely vast, with almost no end in sight.

Due to the relative lack of supplies in the Kingdom of Thorns, the huge warehouse looked empty and extremely empty.

"Lord, according to your instructions, currently, 20,000 sets of Goblin first-level weapons and armor, and 2,000 sets of Goblin second-level weapons and armor, have all been concentrated here."

I saw the red stone with a hint of oily water still hanging from the corner of his mouth. He pointed at the door not far from the warehouse and bowed to report: "Please take a look, Lord."

"very good."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao looked in the direction of the red stone finger and found that there was indeed a large amount of ordinary equipment neatly stacked 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 force and subordinates, indicating that they would investigate everywhere.

Just in case, when you upgrade your equipment, you naturally cannot let outsiders see it.

Under the intensive detection of two fifth-level experts, nine fourth-level experts, and four peak third-level experts, even the most powerful stealth masters would naturally have nowhere to hide.

After a while, accompanied by a series of speeding figures, they returned to Lei Xiao's side again with a "swish".

The rough voice sounded, and it was the voice of the knotweed: "Reporting to the lord, a thorough investigation has been completed in the warehouse, and there is no one there!"

"very good."

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao looked like he was gearing up and said, "Okay, you all can go out. No one is allowed to come in. Just leave this place to me."

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

Hearing the sound, all the subordinates bowed in unison, respectfully exited, and closed the warehouse door.

"Finally it's time for me to show off my skills."

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the pile of goblin equipment.

After some refreshing upgrades.

In the end, Lei Xiao successfully upgraded 20,000 sets of first-level goblin equipment to one million sets of first-level goblin equipment, and 10,000 sets of third-level goblin equipment.

The two thousand sets of second-level goblin equipment were upgraded to one hundred thousand sets of second-level goblin equipment, 900 sets of third-level goblin equipment, and one hundred sets of fourth-level goblin equipment.

"Unexpectedly, the Goblin equipment has reached the standards of my elite army first."

Looking at the various levels of Goblin equipment that had filled more than half of the warehouse, Lei Xiao said with joy in his heart: "In this way, the Goblins will have an elite army with all Level 3 equipment, which will undoubtedly be able to greatly Improve the comprehensive combat power of the Kingdom of Thorns!"

"Moreover, those one hundred sets of fourth-level weapons and armor are enough to equip a squadron of elite Goblin Guards!"

In his excitement, Lei Xiao opened the warehouse door and waved to greet the subordinates who were waiting outside.

"This is……?!"

Looking at the large amount of equipment piled up in front of him, a considerable part of which was still shining with an intoxicating splendor, Hongshi rubbed his big gray eyes vigorously, with a look 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!

A miracle, this is simply a miracle!

"Hongshi, the current equipment situation here is like this..."

Looking at the shocked look of the new Goblin King with his mouth wide open and almost able to swallow two dragon eggs, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and informed the other party of the total number of upgraded equipment.

After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Hong Shi was once again shocked beyond measure. He mechanically turned his dark green head, moved his mouth for a long time, and then managed to say a complete sentence.

"Lord, your true identity...is actually the shaman god of Goblins, right?"
