Chapter 1377: Ceremony

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Today is a grand meeting!” Wizard Smith sighed as he looked towards the bunch on the platform.

Indeed, there were basically 13 god ranks gathered together on a single platform.

“Theard Grandmaster Abel is gathering with the gods here, so we decided to come along as well!” Wizard McPhee smiled.

All the gods also smiled, but of course, not as lively as before the wizards came.

Since Abel arrived with his 5 god rank summons and all the gods, Wizard Brennan was no longer enough to show the wizard union’s dominance in this world, even if it was an insignificant ceremony like this.

If they could, they would send even more god rank wizards. Too bad 5 of them had to remain on guard in the defense wall at all times.

“It’s about time, let’s start the ceremony!” The goddess of the moon looked to the sky and said, seeing everyone settled.

Her voice transferred to the goddess temple from the platform, and a golden staircase appeared, connecting the first platform to the goddess temple.

Although the powerful ones could flash on the platform, the elves couldn’t.

Soon, music began to emerge, and elves with serious looks on their faces stepped up the stairs, but each of them was extremely excited at heart.

Considering how powerful those god ranks were compared to the elves, this was definitely their grandest ceremony.

They proudly stepped on the first platform under the gaze of the law defying wizards, Arch priests, and other legendary ranks, but the thing they felt most honored about was the goddess of the moon’s presence.

As the elves stood in the middle of the platform, none of the guests said anything. They all knew if they said a word wrong, serious consequences would happen.

As the music took a more serious turn, another group of elves stepped out from the temple.

With Saint Lorraine at the front, 3 temple headmasters in the middle, and 5 young female elves at the very back.

Abel turned to the young female elves, and he quickly recognized them. They were the royal adventure squad.

It was saint Lorraine’s sister Carrie, countess Maria, countess Marry, countess Jenny and countess Molly.

“Headmaster Abel, they are the druids from Lorraine’s tribe. According to tradition, a saint had to pick their servants from their tribe. This way, they can work closer to each other !” The goddess of moon smiled.

Abel recalled the days when he was in the Holy Continent and tried to level up by fighting along with those 5 countesses.

If Lorraine had reminded him, he would have taken out a lot of resources to help them level up.

By that point, even the most powerful countess Carrie was only an elite druid, and those other countesses were intermediate rank. In the central continent, they could only be servants at most.

Lorraine was wearing a long green linen dress with hair waving in the air behind her. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like jewels. It was the pinnacle of noble beauty.

Abel couldn’t help but think to himself, Lorraine has really grown up.

Lorraine was definitely the most beautiful elf around, and everyone along the way automatically bowed at her, not only the elves but the guests as well.

There was a shrine on the far side of the platform, and Lorraine stepped towards it while the 3 headmasters and the female servants stayed back.

She arrived in front of the shrine, got on her knees, and began to pray.

Since it was an examination of their faithfulness, it was a long process that lasted for at least an hour.

However, the goddess of the moon gazed at Abel and gently sighed. Afterward, a golden beam shot out from her hand and formed a crown above Lorraine.

“This god really is a wealthy one!” Abel saw the crown on Lorraine and immediately knew it was a holy object. Although he didn’t know what ability it held, he still couldn’t help but sigh.

Of course, it was also because he didn’t know how to make holy objects yet.

Even those gods from the era of god might appear poor. There was no way Abel could compete when it came to their bases.

“Greetings saint Lorraine!” The elves got on their knees the moment they.

Lorraine almost began to wonder, did the ceremony just end? Her years of hard work was paid off with a simple smile and wave?

Afterward, the 5 servants stepped up and pledged their loyalty to Lorraine.

Since they were all talented female druids, the temple would take good care of them as well.

In normal circumstances, the servants of a saint would become elite druids over time, and some might even become big druids.

It was the basic support the temple could provide, and their tribe’s status would increase as a result.

At the same time, their presence could make the saint feel less lonely and homesick.

It was the human side of the elves on display. It was exactly why they never were able to grow as a powerful fighting force.

Afterward, Elves began to step up one by one to receive prayers from saint Lorraine. Each of their faces was filled with excitement which was rarely seen.

Soon, the ceremony finally came to an end.

“It’s time for the after party!” One of the headmasters announced.

“Lorraine, come up!” The goddess of moon said gently and carried Lorraine to the second floor.

Meanwhile, the floor on the first level began to morph, and long tables began to appear.

‘As the guests were admiring the greatness of the goddess of the moon, the elves began to bring on the wine.

Just like that, the after-party took place under a weird atmosphere with the noble elves in one place and the other guests chatting among themselves.

“The great goddess of moon!” Lorraine appeared on the second platform and got on her knees.

“Lorraine, don’t do this. Just come and have a chat!” The goddess of the moon quickly stopped Lorraine with her power of the will and smiled.

‘The other gods couldn’t help but chuckle. At first, they envy the goddess of the moon for finding such a saint, but their interactions from now on must be very awkward.

Saint Lorraine quietly walked towards the goddess of the moon but avoided her gaze. Instead, she turned to Abel.

Abel smiled and took out a box. “Lorraine, here is a birthday gift for you!”

Lorraine received the box. She was a little embarrassed yet excited. But still, she turned towards the goddess of the moon.

“Lorraine, open it. Your boyfriend is very rich!” The goddess of the moon smiled.

“Yeah, open it. See what headmaster Abel gave you!” The other gods also added.

Lorraine gently opened the box, to her surprise, a ring exposed from within.

Lorraine then took it out. The surface was made with white gold, but there were no gems on top. Instead, it was watched with little flowery patterns. Lorraine’s favorite.

It looked quite ordinary, but everyone on the spot knew something was up. It was a holy object, one with a strand of dimensional force.

“Headmaster Abel, is this created by Doff the god of war?” The goddess of the moon gasped.

It was no surprise to her when it came to the ring’s material, considering how much Abel exchanged with the gods, but the skill it took to make that ring truly reflected Doff’s power.

Even though Abel exchanged a lot of knowledge with the gods, putting it into action was still not easy.

“Me and Doff researched for some time, and finally made something. Since my ability is still not that good, it is nothing extraordinary!” Abel said helplessly.

“Abel, I love it!” Lorraine mustered up her courage and mumbled in front of the gods.

Still, anyone could tell her words were sincere.

“Tm glad you like it, let’s call this the Abel’s protection ring!” Abel smiled “when you are in danger, this ring can teleport you to any place within 10 miles. But you can only use it once every 24 hours!”

“What? Teleportation?” The gods immediately stood up.

Even the god rank wizards followed. They always thought it was just a holy portal ring when they sensed the dimension force.

Aholy portal ring was a portal ring expended with dimension force. It was very common in the era of gods, and there were quite a lot of them drifting around in the common world.

Aholy object with teleportation ability, on the other hand, would basically be a lifesaver for anyone, even if it could only be used once a day.

After all, one could never have enough life savers.

On top of that, there was one special attribute about a holy object with teleportation ability.

This attribute was so special even Abel himself was not aware of it, and that was the rank of teleportation.

‘When it came to teleportation, most people would think of the ‘move in a flash,’ which was a lightning wizard spell for them to teleport in short distances.

The limit of this spell was that it would be affected by the rank of the user. When facing an enemy of higher ranks, one’s energy would be suppressed, thus making a wizard incapable of casting the spell.

If their rank difference was high enough, even moving in a flash scrolls would be useless.

Therefore, what made Abel’s ring special was that it could be used regardless of the situation.

As for only one use a day, it was not a problem.

‘Who would use the same life saver more than once anyway?

“Haha, headmaster Abel really is extraordinary. You make me embarrassed about my gift now!” The goddess of the moon took out a long dress from her portal object and handed it over to Lorraine.

“Lorraine, just take it!” Abel saw Lorraine hesitating and said.

“This holy object is not as powerful as headmaster Abel’s ring, but it can change colour and shapes by will. For your convenience, I’ve already preset 120 styles for you to choose!” The goddess of water smiled.
