Passing through the gate at the end of the long steps, everything in front of you suddenly opens up.
Endless flowers spread to the sky in the field of vision, and stars hang down between the tree crowns.
Joyful Court's grand ceremony has already been prepared for him.
Flowers are raining all over the sky, clear springs and honey wine are flowing in the forest, melodious music sounds from nowhere, and countless Fae creatures shuttle and dance between the sea of flowers and the long table. The whole scene is like a dream.
Red Iron Dragon The moment he set foot here, all eyes were focused on him.
This is the look from the Fae gods. There is consideration or curiosity in it, but there is no malicious intent.
"Everyone."
Titania has a petite body, but has a huge aura.
She stood at the highest point of the ceremony, raised a mini wine glass, smiled slightly, and her voice spread throughout the audience.
"This is our new member Joyful Court. We just passed Ascension Stairway, which truly condenses Godhood's Lord of Victory and Glory, Garos·Ignas!"
She smiled and glanced at the gods.
"He is a dragon who has come all the way from Material Plane. He defeated Ancient Wild God with the body of the Immortal Realm. He is a real warrior and a real king. I believe that his arrival will make our Royal Court lively, lively and more powerful."
As the words fell, friendly and relaxed cheers sounded around.
There is a god who just raised his wine glass and paid a distant greeting to Garos.
Garos nodded in response, neither getting carried away nor acting shy because he was new here.
At the same time, he scanned the gods.
They have different shapes.
The Treant king with deep roots in the earth and lush branches on his head; the holy beast with a pure white body and a single horn lingering in the moonlight; the half-Centaur God with a hunting bow on his back and tangled muscles; and the Fairy Dragon huddled in the corner with a sly look on his head----
Garos knows that these are the incarnations of gods.
Just like Titania, the gods specially gathered face incarnations for this grand ceremony to communicate with him. Compared with the essence of gods, these faces are flesh and blood, have their own personalities and emotions, and are better at interacting on the material level.
In fact, this is not a special case.
The true form of gods basically has no normal emotions, and they stand in some higher-dimensional vision and perception.
The way they look at things has nothing to do with individual emotions and desires, and is entirely based on the logic and belief needs of Divine Authority.
But this form filled with Divinity is not suitable for communication.
Therefore, condensing faces and giving faces specific human nature and emotions is a very common means of communication among gods.
Through faces, gods can experience the emotions of mortal beings, and can also have warm communications with other gods.
In this process.
If certain facial features are performed well, they will be fixed and retained by the gods and used frequently. If they are used too much, they will become the image of the gods in people's minds, and even the faces that appear in the minds of believers when they pray.
Garos Look around.
Except for the familiar Fairy Dragon God Naitar, it was the first time for him to see the faces of other gods.
However, these faces are very classic images and have been used for a long time.
Relying on the knowledge of gods in Dragonkin's inheritance and his own speculation, Garos roughly matched their identities.
Treant Sage, Unicorn King, Centaur God, Swan Goddess, Hidden Prophet----
The gods of Joyful Court are almost gathered together today, each with his own appearance and posture.
Just then.
A figure walked out from among the gods and walked in front of Garos.
This is a tall and fit male goblin with a pair of curved horns on his head, like the horn crown of Deer King in the forest. His eyes are deep and sharp, his muscles are clear, his chest is broad, his arms are thick, and there is a primitive wild atmosphere lingering around him.
"Welcome, Lord of Victory and Glory."
The god said in a low and heroic voice, "In you, I see something completely different from all Fae."
"Pure wildness forged from blood and fire."
"Fae's wildness is the animality and instinct in the forest, the reincarnation of flowers blooming and falling, but your wildness is different. It is sharp and hot, like a tempered blade. This makes me look askance."
Garos looked at this god.
Through his face and breath, he quickly recognized the other person's identity.
Forest King, Lord of Wilds, Oberon.
Titania's royal husband is in charge of nature, Hunt, wildness, etc. Divine Domain Divine Authority. Among Joyful Court, he has the most respected status second only to Titania. He represents the force of Joyful Court and is also the defender of Joyful Court.
Among the Fae gods, he is one of the few gods who is good at frontal combat.
"I have admired the honorable name of Lord of Wilds for a long time."
Garos nodded slightly and said.
In some romantic stories between gods, it is said that Oberon met Titania in a distant era. At that time, Titania was already the Overlord of the fairies, but at the same time he was also harassed by his dark sister, the dark fairies.
Oberon marveled at her chaos, beauty, and kindness.
Titania was also attracted by the raw wildness of Oberon.
After that, Oberon condensed the entire summer sunshine into a diamond and gave it to Titania. The two made a covenant in a dance and announced the birth of Joyful Court----
However, these are just stories imagined by the world.
At least as far as Garos knows, there is no romantic love between gods. How could the incarnation of Divinity have such desire? The combination of gods is more like the complementarity and attraction of Divinity.
Oberon doesn't care about etiquette either.
"Fae are weak and naive, and they need beings like you and me to protect them."
"Many of them don't understand what real danger is at all. They only play among the flowers and sing under the moonlight. They are so naive that they are even a little stupid, and they think everything is too beautiful,"
"However, our Royal Court can never be kept by naivety."
Oberon looked at Garos with burning eyes. "Now, you are a member of Joyful Court and also my Oberon partner."
"No matter what danger you encounter, as long as you call for help from Oberon, Oberon will fight for you."
"Like, you're going to fight for Royal Court."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Red Iron Dragon lowered his eyes and looked at Oberon, who was stronger than ordinary fairies but still miniaturized.
"Lord of Wilds's words impressed me deeply."
"As you said, Fae are weak and naive and need to be guarded, and you essentially belong to Fae. If one day, you call me for help, I will also fight for you, just like you are willing to fight for me."
His voice was low and he gave a reciprocal promise.
Oberon was slightly startled.
For a long time, apart from him, among the Joyful Court and Fae gods, only Centaur God was able to fight, and the other Fae gods were not good at fighting.
But next, this situation is about to change.
Oberon raised his head and let out a hearty laugh.
"Okay! Okay! I remember this sentence, I am waiting for this opportunity to come! I also believe that you will bring unprecedented Victory and Glory to Joyful Court."
Having said this, Oberon suddenly turned his head and looked at the flower column aside.
"Vines."
"After eavesdropping for so long, come out and get to know our new god."
After the flower column, a demon spirit walked out without any embarrassment of being caught.
"Here, let me introduce you."
Oberon said, "This is Vines, the daughter of me and Titania. Among Joyful Court, she represents youth, beauty and love."
Garos looked at her.
What caught his eye was a girl-like demon spirit.
She has a face that is so perfect that it is unreal, with bright eyes and white teeth, shining with hope. Her eyes seem to be filled with the dew of the entire spring. Just standing there makes the sea of flowers around her eclipse.
She possesses the ultimate beauty of a girl.
Garos was stunned for a moment with his will.
It's not that he is lustful or confused. No god here only uses Divine Authority. The condensed faces are purely for communication.
It's normal to be a little stunned when you encounter something extremely beautiful.
Vines captured this moment of trance.
However, instead of being shy, she turned around generously and showed a bright and lively smile, showing off her beauty to the fullest.
Garos also came back to his senses, looking magnanimously, admiring this beauty.
"Hey, powerful and mighty dragon."
Vines tilted his head and said in a playful tone, "Before you, my father Oberon was the first patron saint of Joyful Court, also known as Midsummer Dragon."
"He was also very proud of it and felt that he was great all day long."
She said, glanced at Oberon, made a face, and then turned her gaze back to Garos.
"But I think the title Midsummer Dragon is more suitable for a being like you, a real dragon. I hope you can surpass my father, take his name, and become the new Midsummer Dragon."
Midsummer.
This word has a special meaning in Joyful Court.
One of the titles of Titania is Midsummer Queen. In the midsummer season, she can exert very powerful power. Moreover, the midsummer season here is different from what the world knows, and represents a certain state of Multiverse.
Midsummer Royal Court is also one of the names of Joyful Court.
Then, the meaning and weight of Midsummer Dragon are self-evident.
For the gods, such a title also represents status, and it represents Divine Domain. It was so treasonous for her daughter to let the new god usurp her status, but Oberon heard it and just smiled and was not angry.
"That's right!"
At this time, Fairy Dragon Naitar flew over from nowhere and landed on Vines's shoulder.
"Midsummer Dragon, a real dragon should be in charge! Oberon, you just have a dragon in your name, but you are not a dragon. It's time to step down and give way to someone better."
"I asked you to give me this title before, but you said I wasn't "giant" enough to be considered a real dragon."
"But, Garos is definitely huge enough."
Naitar said plausibly.
Oberon is still not angry.
The atmosphere inside Joyful Court is very harmonious. There is no sense of superiority or inferiority when talking to each other. Joking is common.
This is actually very rare.
Words similar to those that want to seize Divine Domain's position may even lead to the outbreak of a divine war if they are placed in the hands of some other Pantheon who value rules and order.
Oberon touched his chin.
He said, "If our Lord of Victory and Glory likes this title, I can give this position to him. I don't really like that title at first. It sounds a bit fancy, but Lord of Wilds is more suitable for me."
Midsummer is a beautiful word.
Many Fae like this kind of vocabulary, but Oberon doesn't like it. He thinks it doesn't suit his temperament. He prefers titles with a wild and Bloodshed flavor.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord of Wilds."
"However, if I want something, I will fight for it myself instead of relying on gifts."
He said quietly.
Beside, Vines heard these words, his eyes lit up. "This feeling, this style----"
Naitar came close to her ear, raised his tail, and said, "Right, right, I told you a long time ago, Garos is super cool! You will definitely like him, I didn't lie to you, right? Everything I said is true!"
Vines nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "That's so cool, this is what a real dragon should be like!"
Fairy Dragon also nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, wait, you mean that I, Naitar, don't look like a real dragon?"
The two gathered together and whispered, beaming, and winking from time to time. They seemed to have a very good relationship.
In fact, the relationship between the two is also very good.
In Joyful Court, Vines's appearance is also called Midsummer Maiden. He is lively, bright, full of fantasy about love, likes to bring lovers together, and also likes to break up unsuitable partners in a prank way.
When it comes to pranks, she always asks Naitar for advice and even invites Naitar to join her.
Naitar would of course be happy to participate.
In addition, one of the reasons why Fairy Dragon was expelled from the inner court was because he tried to induce Vines to design pranks with him to test whether the relationship between Titania and Oberon was strong enough----
At this time, Titania walked over slowly.
"Garos."
The Lord God Fae smiled and said, "All the gods of joy are curious and looking forward to you, and it is rare that they are gathered here because of your Ascension to Godhood."
"Let's get in touch with them."
"In the long years to come, we will be each other's most loyal companions and best friends."
Garos nodded.
Although he had just arrived and was meeting other Midsummer Gods formally for the first time, he had already felt the friendly atmosphere here, which was noisy but warm and sincere.
Although this is just a manifestation of the faces of the gods, the faces of the gods actually represent the true intentions of the gods.
Garos doesn't hate this atmosphere.
He didn't say anything more, and walked towards the gods who were watching him.
With his rich experience in controlling dragons, Garos is able to capture the preferences and preferences of these gods.
He discussed with Treant Sage the life of a seed, how a sapling can grow into a towering giant tree with lush branches, and the rhythm of the growth of all things; he talked with Centaur God about the oncoming strong wind, and the joy of flying across the wilderness; and Unicorn King----
Time passes by.
In the sea of flowers at this grand ceremony, there was constant laughter and laughter.
Garos quickly established a preliminary friendship with these gods, and they had a lot of fun talking with each other.
However, the belief in gods is spread all over the world, and the situation of Joyful Court is not very optimistic, so these appearances are also quite busy.
The party didn't last forever.
After a brief understanding and exchange, each of the Fae gods said goodbye and went about their own business.
