In the development hall, everyone briefly celebrated and then left.
Prior to this, everyone received a copy of the new covenant document, which was also carried on golden pages, and every member and lord who joined the Sevington Parliament in the future could apply to the parliament to save a copy of the covenant.
As for the original, it was kept in the altar of the Expansion Hall together with many previous old covenant originals until the end of Netheril.
…
When Sha Duo and Niya returned to Azure Manor, almost immediately, people from the Seven Towers came to the door and confirmed with them the various procedures of tomorrow's celebration ceremony.
In the reception room, Xia Duo was a little lost. It wasn't until he heard a name that had become somewhat unfamiliar in his mind, but the appearance itself was unexpected, that he interrupted the Seven Towers staff's continued explanation:
"Did you just say that Imasca also sent people to watch the ceremony?"
"Yes, Prince Aben of Imasca arrived in Severton yesterday morning with a high-level visiting delegation. They will not only participate in tomorrow's celebration ceremony, but will also visit various countries in the future."
The staff member of the Seven Towers named "Shatar" saw that Shado seemed to be interested in the Imask Envoy, so he further introduced the Imask Envoy's situation.
"Did they say what they wanted to achieve by coming to the Western Continent?" Xia Duo asked again.
"The Seven Towers have already had contact with Prince Aben. It is tentatively determined that the purpose of Imasca is to establish diplomatic relations with the countries in the Western Continent and reach a certain degree of cooperation."
Such questions are considered confidential in Netheril, and if ordinary people asked, Sha'tar would not reveal any inside information.
But now that the new covenant has been signed, Shado has become the highest authority under the new covenant order - a member of the Sevington Parliament. He is not an ordinary person. Shatar will not only provide all kinds of inside information, but also answer questions as much as possible. Xia Duo's doubts.
Shado also saw Sha'tar's attitude towards him, so he continued to ask: "Have you been in contact with the Western Continent countries other than Imaskar and Netheril? And what do they want to achieve? cooperate?"
"According to our understanding, Prince Aben's people have only had private contact with Comanso for the time being, but they will make public visits to various countries in the Western Continent in the future. They should contact relevant personnel from various countries in advance under Comanso's introduction. .
"As for the cooperation content that Imasca wants to reach with the countries in the Western Continent, we have not received any news from other countries yet. What they are talking about with the Seven Towers is mainly about opening up trade and dealing with the disintegration of Dragon Madness Mystery Lock.
"By the way, Prince Aben also proposed that he would like to meet with Lord Xia Duo in private. Qi Tian has no right to make a decision for you on this issue. I think Prince Aben may contact you in the next day or two. If Lord Xia Duo agrees to meet, And when it comes to new content, I hope you can synchronize relevant content to the parliament."
"Well, I understand. If there is news, I will synchronize it with the parliament." Sha Duo was noncommittal about meeting Prince Aben, but he affirmed Seven Towers' request to synchronize the news with the parliament.
The new system has just been established and is still in a running-in state most of the time. People from the Seven Towers are still coming to inquire. Next, it will probably become a matter of MPs sending envoys to the Parliament to communicate with all parties in real time.
At the same time, these people will also supervise the administrative agencies under the parliament on behalf of the parliamentarians.
…
Afterwards, Shatar continued to explain the process of the celebration ceremony the next day. When Shaduo heard something that interested him, he would ask Shatar to stop and explain it alone.
It was not until nightfall that Shaduo and Niya listened to the entire process. Of course, in the process, they also gained a deeper understanding of some of the major events that had happened in Severton recently.
After Shatar left, several other great arcanists who had not had enough fun talking in the development hall wanted to come and visit, but Shado refused because of his poor condition. He would remain "injured" for quite some time. state.
However, Iolum came to visit him personally, which made Sha Duo unable to refuse, and at the same time he also felt a little guilty. After Iolum left, Sha Duo was still immersed in this feeling.
…
The next day, Midsummer Day.
Xia Duo participated in the rising sun ceremony for the first time in Severton. The location was in the square in front of the great temple in the XC area. The ceremony process was not much different from that in the south. It was nothing more than a group of people watching the sunrise.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Shado returned to the Azure Manor on the grounds of injury. When it was approaching noon, he was notified by the Seven Towers staff to go to Offa Square between Severton Parliament and Offa Union to participate in the noon blessing ceremony. .
Only then did I see the difference between Severington's blessing ceremony and the southern one. The scene might be more lively, but compared to the purity of the southern one, the ingredients here were somewhat complicated.
Here, Xia mostly uses the Holy Tide to measure it. On the Severnton side, although the number of people participating in the celebration is more than that of the Saville Territory, the holy tide it triggers is only equivalent to that of the Saville Territory.
It seems that the celebration is just a ritual that must be carried out, without the meaning of celebration and carnival.
Of course there is a reason why there are more spellcasters here, but Shado thinks that it is mainly because this is Sevington and the center of Netheril, so it has lost its purity.
In Sevington, celebrations and carnivals are not necessary, which naturally makes the celebrations less pure.
…
After going through the noon blessing ceremony, if it were a normal Midsummer Festival, the rest would be a carnival. There is no southern tradition of distributing holy water to ordinary people in Wenton. There are only eating, drinking, singing and dancing, enjoying performances, crazy shopping and other activities.
Until the end of the night's sleeping ceremony, the day's holiday that even slaves are given is complete.
But today, as soon as the blessing ceremony ended, Badigal couldn't wait to announce to the crowd the existence of the three aspects of sweet water in the new covenant, as well as some of the key points of the new covenant.
Although this is not new news, and most people who can appear in Severnton at this time have some knowledge of recent events, this is indeed the first time for official news.
"People of Netheril, our ancestors opened up foreign lands, and now their descendants have returned home. Let us extend our warmest welcome to their return!"
Most of the people who can come to Severton at this time are not ordinary people. They are lords, spellcasters, merchants, and adventurers from all over the world. This is not the first time for many of them to know the news, but they are still extremely excited.
For the lords, who already know the contents of the new covenant, they are happy with the improvement and protection of their power. The spellcasters are curious about the newly emerged livable planes. The merchants have discovered new business opportunities, and the adventurers have also found After reaching the next destination, even ordinary people could not help but puff up their chests for the growth of the empire at this moment!
Then, under the introduction of Badigal, the great arcanists from the three dimensions of Sweetwater appeared in front of the public one by one. They showed the public many scenes of their ancestors' pioneering efforts in foreign lands, allowing everyone to see the real development and protection again. Spirit.
As the pioneering and guardian goddess of Netheril, the princess also performed a miracle at this moment to bless the descendants of these foreign pioneers. This act directly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.
