Chapter 2521: Divine Miracle

Inside the Pioneer Hall, everyone celebrated briefly, then prepared to depart.

Before this, everyone received a copy of the New Covenant document, also borne on a Golden Page, and every councilor or lord who joins the Seven Cities Council in the future may apply to the Council to keep a copy of the Covenant.

As for the original, it is kept with the many previous Old Covenant originals inside the altar of the Pioneer Hall until the end of Netheril.

……

When Xia Duo and Niya returned to Weilan Manor, it was almost back-to-back, and people from the Seven Towers came to the door to confirm the various procedures of tomorrow's celebration ceremony with the two.

In the Reception Room, Xia Duo was a bit distracted, until he heard a name that had become somewhat unfamiliar in his impression but whose appearance itself carried surprise, only then did he speak to interrupt the Seven Towers staff member's continued explanation:

"Did you just say that Yimaska is also sending people to observe the ceremony?"

"Yes, Prince Aben of Yimaska arrived in Seventon yesterday morning with a high-level visiting delegation. They will not only attend tomorrow's celebration ceremony but will also visit various regions and countries afterward."

This Seven Towers staff member named "Shatar" saw that Xia Duo seemed interested in the Yimaska envoy, so he further introduced the situation of the Yimaska envoy.

"Did they say what purpose they want to achieve by coming to Xilu?" Xia Duo asked again.

Although this was no longer fresh news, anyone who could appear in Seventon at this time mostly understood the recent events, but this was indeed the first time for official news.

【Xiaoxiang App search "Spring Gift" for new users to receive 500 book coins, old users receive 200 book coins】 "Citizens of Netheril, your ancestors pioneered foreign lands, and now their descendants have returned to their Homeland; let us offer the warmest welcome for our return!"

It was Yinaole who personally visited, which Xia Duo could not refuse, and at the same time, he felt some guilt. After Yinaole left, Xia Duo remained immersed in that feeling.

At present, the new system has just been established and is mostly in a state of adjustment. Now it is still people from the Seven Towers coming to inquire, but it will soon change to councilors sending envoys to be stationed at the Council to communicate with all parties in real-time.

Here, Xia Duo uses the Holy Tide to measure; in Seventon, although the number of people attending the celebration is higher than in Savile Territory, the Holy Tide it triggered is only equivalent to that of Savile Territory.

Such questions are considered confidential in Netheril. If an ordinary person asked, Yimasi would not reveal any inside information.

……

And the Princess, as the God of Exploration and Protection of Netheril, also descended a Divine Miracle at this moment to bless the descendants of these foreign pioneers; this act directly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax. But at present, the New Covenant has been signed, and Xia Duo has become a councilor of the Shatar Council—the highest power organ under the New Covenant order—and is not an ordinary person; Yimasi will not only provide inside information on all aspects but will also answer Xia Duo's doubts as much as possible.

Subsequently, Yimasi continued to explain the ceremony process for the second day, and Xia Duo would still have Yimasi stop to explain separately whenever he heard something of interest.

Then, introduced by Badijiaer, the great Arcanists from the Tianshui Three Planes appeared one by one before the public. They showed the public many scenes of their ancestors struggling to pioneer foreign lands, allowing everyone to see the true spirit of exploration and protection once again.

It seemed that the celebration was just a ceremony that had to be gone through, lacking the meaning of celebration and revelry.

After finishing the noon Prayer Ceremony process, which is a normal Midsummer Festival, the rest is revelry. Seventon does not have the tradition of the Nan Jing distributing Holy Water to ordinary people; there are only eating, drinking, singing, dancing, enjoying performances, and crazy shopping.

"Hmm, I understand. If there is news, I will synchronize it to the Council." Xia Duo was noncommittal about meeting Prince Aben, but affirmed the Seven Towers' request to synchronize news to the Council.

"As for the cooperation content that Yimaska wants to reach with Ruier countries, we have not received news for the time being regarding other countries. They mainly talked to the Seven Towers about opening trade and dealing with the dissolution of the Dragon Madness Mythallar.

At the same time, these people representing councilors will also supervise the administrative agencies under the Council.

But today, as soon as the Prayer Ceremony ended, Badijiaer couldn't wait to announce to the crowd the existence of the New Covenant Tianshui Three Planes and some key points of the New Covenant.

"By the way, Prince Aben also proposed to meet with Lord Xia Duo privately. On this issue, I have no right to make decisions for you. I imagine Prince Aben might contact you in the next day or two. If Lord Xia Duo agrees to meet and discusses any new content, I hope you can synchronize the relevant content to the Council."

【A novel app that has been running stably for many years, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, comparable to the old version of book-chasing artifacts,】

Xia Duo participated in the Sun Rising Ceremony in Seventon for the first time. The location was on the square in front of the Great Temple in the XC district. The ceremony process was not much different from Nan Jing; it was nothing more than a group of people watching the sunrise.

For the lords, they were happy for the improvement and protection of their power now that they knew the content of the New Covenant; Seventon was curious about the newly appeared Habitable Plane; merchants found new business opportunities; and Adventurers found their next destination. Even ordinary people couldn't help but puff out their chests at this moment for the strength of the Empire!

In Seventon, celebration and revelry are not mandatory, so the celebration naturally seemed to lose its purity.

Only then did one see the difference between the Seventon Prayer Ceremony and the Nan Jing one; the scene might be livelier, but compared to the purity of Nan Jing, the components here were somewhat complicated.

……

The second day, Midsummer Festival.

"According to our understanding, Prince Aben's people have only had private contact with Keman so far, but they will publicly visit Ruier countries next, and should start contacting relevant personnel of various countries under the introduction of Keman.

"The Seven Towers has already had contact with Prince Aben, and it is temporarily determined that Yimaska's purpose is to establish diplomatic relations with Xilu countries and reach certain cooperation."

……

Of course, there are more reasons for the prosperity of Seventon here, but Xia Duo believes more that it is mainly because this is Seventon, the center of Netheril, which is why it lost its purity.

Just like this, until night fell, Xia Duo and Niya finished listening to the whole process. Of course, in this process, the two also had a deeper understanding of some major events that had happened in Seventon recently.

Until the Sleep Ceremony ended in the evening, the holiday that even slaves would be granted for that day was over.

And Xia Duo also saw Yimasi's attitude toward him, so he continued to ask: "Have they contacted Ruier countries outside of Netheril so far? And what kind of cooperation do they want to achieve?"

At this point in time, those who can come to Seventon are not ordinary people; local lords, Arcanists, merchants, and Adventurers—many of them are not hearing this news for the first time, but they still feel incomparably excited.

After Yimasi left, several other great Arcanists who were not satisfied with their talk in the Pioneer Hall wanted to come to visit, but Xia Duo refused on the grounds of poor condition. For a considerable period of time, he would maintain the state of "injuries not yet recovered."

Once the ceremony ended, Xia Duo returned to Weilan Manor on the grounds of his injuries. It was not until near noon, under the notification of Seven Towers personnel, that he came to the Arcane Plaza between the Seventon Council and the Arcane Union to attend the noon Prayer Ceremony.
