"...Galo hereby swears allegiance to His Majesty Huang Yu. From this day forth, I shall bear the title of Duke of the Huanyu Kingdom, uphold my oath, and never betray him!"
Jialuo Duchy, inside the ceremonial hall.
Galo knelt on one knee before Huang Yu, lowered her head, and swore allegiance to him.
Her clear voice echoed through the hall. Whether it was the allied lords attending the ceremony or the higher-ups of Jialuo Territory, all wore complicated expressions.
No one spoke or discussed anything at the scene, which made the ceremony seem especially solemn.
Huang Yu looked at Galo before him, his expression dignified as he said in a deep voice:
"As the king of the Huanyu Kingdom, I accept your allegiance. I shall uphold our oath and never let you down!"
After saying this, Huang Yu took a crown from a Valkyrie beside him and placed it on Galo's head.
The crown was exquisitely designed, crafted by Zhu Ling, a Saint Blacksmith of the Huanyu Magic Pattern Research Institute.
Set into it were eight gems with different functions. There was a Shadow Gem capable of storing living creatures, a Lingxi Crystal capable of connecting across realms with the Huanyu Magic Web, and Blood Crystal Essence and White Crystal Essence refined from tens of millions of units of blood crystals and more than a million units of white crystals...
Apart from that, the crown possessed many other functions.
For example, its affinity with the Element Master allowed the wearer to ignore elemental damage, increased the power of elemental attacks, and granted elemental control on par with an elemental apostle.
Another example was Chaos Gaze, which allowed the wearer to avoid concerns about surveillance from Mystic System abilities and granted a special perspective similar to Huang Yu's Eye of Chaos.
