The old dragon king had also asked Xia Huan to invite the Classical Ceremonial Song And Dance Troupe from Star Light city. It made the ceremony even more solemn. Originally, Zhou Yu thought that he would let those idols perform on the stage and make it look more like a modern ceremony. However, he did not expect that the whole ceremony was not arranged in such a way. It was simply just the ceremonial rite and music from the beginning to the end.
A variety of ancient Chinese cultural performance was performed one after another, it had quite a cultural atmosphere, but Zhou Yu, who was not good in Chinese history, didn’t understand what culture those people’s costumes were presenting, at most, he was only interested in the collective dance of the girls, who were in ancient Chinese dress.
Oh well, as long as that old man was happy, he can do whatever he likes.
The last segment of the ceremony was to hold the code of law and place it on the altar. Originally, this segment should be completed by the Lord himself, but Zhou Yu was an exception because his size was simply too big. If he stepped on the stage, the stage would instantly collapse, so they could only let Luhua village’s general, the soul summoner, Lilith to do it.
The reason why she had been chosen was probably to intimidate the surrounding forces. As soon as Lilith appeared, she summoned the Heroic beast of the dragon’s wing army. The dragon-shaped heroic beast was rolling and roaring above the stage. It was quite intimidating. And as expected, it caused various whispers among the guests.
Then Zhou Yu opened his hand. In his hand, there was a two-centimeters long scroll. It was the code of law. Lilith vanished and appeared on Zhou Yu’s palm, revealing her remarkable skill. After all, she was the daughter of a general, it was normal that she knew some martial arts. Perhaps, it was because of the amnesia, she did not show any martial arts skill when she just came to Luhua village.
Wearing the uniform of the dragon’s wing army, Lilith’s weak feminine disposition that she normally displayed disappeared, leaving only the disposition of a commanding general. Kneeling on one knee and reaching out her both hands, she shouted imposingly, “My lord, general Lilith of the dragon’s wing army is here to escort the code of law!”
Carefully picking up the small scroll, and putting it in Lilith’s hands, Zhou Yu’s job WAS done here. Lilith then walked toward the altar while holding the scroll.
After the code of law was enshrined on the altar, a golden light suddenly appeared. It arose from the altar, gradually spread out in the air and fell into a hemispherical shape. As the scroll was slowly opened like a golden carpet slowly, the golden light gradually covered the entire Luhua village, like a magical barrier in the harry potter movies.
Within this barrier, the code of law would come into effect, and Luhua village now officially became Luhua city.
In the applause, Zhou Yu accepted the heartfelt or unintentional congratulations from all parties and officially became the lord of the city. After the code of law went into effect, a Lord’s ring was dropped, appearing without warning on his right index finger.
Zhou Yu did not know what the ring was made of. It did not look like gold or silver, but it looked quite like alloy, and apart from proving the identity of a lord, it did not seem to be too useful.
But in terms of the effect of the code of law was that all the construction costs in the territory were reduced and the incidence of weather disasters was reduced.
The ceremonial performance was then ended, and the guests started to leave one by one. The rest were the two messengers from Star Light City and Fallen City. The two people, one black and one white, were both not happy with each other, but they all refused to leave, presumably, they had something that they wanted to discuss with him.
Zhou Yu also felt very headache, and as he had expected, both people were here to persuade him to join their forces. However, Zhou Yu was unwilling to work for others and did not have the ambition to dominate the ACG world. He just wanted to quietly enjoy the happiness brought by the ACG world.
“Two messengers, if you want to persuade Luhua City to join a certain force, just stop here. Luhua City will not join either party. The two of you can fight as much as you want, but don’t get me involved, okay?”
Zhou Yu had enough strength to be arrogant. On idols, he had little Muli and Bai Mo, and Li Weinian would also come back soon. With their strength, it was not difficult to capture the hearts of the people of Luhua city. As long as he did not make some silly laws in the future, the possibility of being overturned was not high.
With two top idols in the city, Luhua would not be scared of anyone. After all, this was not a real war game, there would not be endless battles. As long as Zhou Yu did not expand his territory, and always stayed inside Luhua city, even if those two forces were powerful, they would not bring any pressure to him.
Of course, it did not mean that he would not have any trouble. The resources of Star Light City, the criminals of the Fallen City. Zhou Yu currently depended on the former one while the latter one would still give Zhou Yu headaches sometimes. If the two parties completely isolate Luhua City, in the short term, it would be a problem for him.
The two messengers nodded their heads to show that they had understood Zhou Yu’s wish, so they did not carry on persuading him. However, there was another thing that they had to know.
The Star Light City’s messenger in white dress asked first, “Mr. Zhou, I have seen the magical item that you used to remove the curse of Mojibake. Could you please tell me where you got it from? As far as I know, there has never been such a thing as this in the ACG world.”
The Fallen City’s messenger in black dress also immediately followed, “Mr. Zhou, you can rest assured that we will not take this magical item from you. It is just that Mojibake beasts are huge threats to the ACG world. If it appears next time, I don’t know if this item can be used to suppress it?”
In the face of the problem of Mojibake beasts, the interests of all parties in the ACG world were the same, so if Zhou Yu refused to take this responsibility, then perhaps Luhua city would really be isolated.
So Zhou Yu said sincerely, “that pagoda was developed and made by a hermit in Luhua city. I have already asked him about it. At present, he was only able to remove the cure, and the price is not small. It will not work on a Mojibake beast itself. Unless you can get a part of Mojibake beast’s body and then he may be able to develop a relative artifact.”
Hearing this, the faces of the two messengers darkened with disappointment at the same time.
It was understandable that they would be feeling this way. Originally, they thought that there was finally an effective weapon that they could use to fight a Mojibake beast, but in the end, it was just an item to remove the curse. As for a part of a Mojibake beast’s body, that was even more impossible. Whenever it appeared, people would only want to destroy it as soon as possible, who would want to preserve that kind of scary thing.
It was really disappointing.
But it was not completely hopeless. If a Mojibake beast appeared the next time, they would have to get a part of its body at all costs.
Then the Star Light city’s messenger continued, “can you tell me where the hermit is? He, who was able to remove the curse that had been troubling the ACG world for so many years, I must thank him in person.”
The fallen city’s messenger suddenly laughed in disdain, “you just want to recruit that hermit, don’t you? Don’t give us the bullshit excuse like that. What a hypocrite.”
“All you know is to slander other people. What other things can you even do?”
Seeing those two people were about to have a fight, Zhou Yu immediately interrupted, “I’m sorry, but the hermit doesn’t want to see anyone yet. I can’t even see him in person. In addition, it is very normal to recruit talented people. This kind of thing also happens very often in the real world. If you have the ability to make him go with you, I will not say anything.”
After refusing to join the two major forces, Zhou Yu also made a speech to the reporters of the ACG world, saying that Luhua city will not expand its territory. After that, this ceremony finally really ended.
