Chapter 217 Crowning as King

Chapter 217 Crowning as King

A wave of disappointed sighs and whispers swept through the crowd, but having learned from yesterday's experience, most of the dwarf nobles reluctantly dispersed, leaving only fifteen lucky ones excitedly behind.

With the addition of ten new members, the efficiency of processing basic materials has been significantly improved. White made proper arrangements, and the mentoring model worked smoothly.

Li Ang focused on refining, and finally succeeded in refining twenty doses of [Targeted Tissue Regeneration Agent] by evening, including sixteen doses of top-grade agent.

Production has increased to twenty bottles, but that seems to be close to the current limit.

After all, the limit of operational precision is to refine two potions in one crucible at the same time, and each refining process, including the preparation and finishing, takes about an hour.

Unless Li Ang is willing to sacrifice his rest time and refine the products day and night, it will be difficult to significantly increase the daily output.

On the third day, ten more apothecaries arrived from surrounding towns. Li Ang looked at the slightly crowded but bustling scene in the workshop, found Maya, and frankly explained the situation: "Your Majesty, we have enough apothecaries for now. The current problem is that only I can complete the final fusion refining step. Unless we can find another way, or I extend my working hours, it will be difficult to break through the daily output barrier."

Maya understood, patted Li Ang's arm, and said readily, "Lord Li Ang, you can lead the team back to report as planned. I'll handle things here in Ironforge. At worst, I'll refund some of their money, or have them wait in line for priority treatment when you come back next time. Once the situation here is completely stable, I'll return to Leli Tower as soon as possible to complete my studies."

Time flew by amidst the busy treatments and crafting, and soon it was time for Sandramea's coronation ceremony.

By the time of the ceremony, Li Ang had treated more than 130 dwarf nobles, restoring them to full health.

However, the list of people waiting for treatment did not decrease. Instead, due to word-of-mouth about the miraculous cure, the number of people waiting increased to an astonishing nearly a thousand. Li Ang deeply felt the frustration of having more and more work to do.

Moreover, this only reflects the needs of the powerful and influential noble class within the Dwarf Kingdom. Li Ang dared not even imagine what a terrifying astronomical figure it would be if these needs were expanded to the entire Dwarf Kingdom, or even the entire continent.

However, that's a story for later. Today, Li Ang and his companions have an even more important task: to attend the Queen's coronation ceremony.

Just as dawn was breaking, they were invited by the palace ladies to a special preparation room inside the palace.

A group of efficient and serious-looking female officials, accompanied by a tailor, were already waiting there.

With the help of the female officials, Li Ang and the others changed into the magnificent knight's uniforms that had been tailored for them. Each uniform was made of the finest silk and embroidered with the royal coat of arms and cloud patterns symbolizing military fortune in gold thread.

At the same time, each of them was also given a ceremonial longsword, with the scabbard and hilt inlaid with various gems and gold, which shimmered under the lights. Although it was not used in actual combat, its symbolic meaning and level of luxury were off the charts.

The ladies-in-waiting explained the ceremony's procedures and basic etiquette to them in detail.

Fortunately, as knights, the etiquette they needed to remember was not complicated, mainly consisting of rules for posture, walking, and saluting.

Previously, Maya had already retrieved the [Grace Ring] from Li Ang, mysteriously indicating that she would formally bestow it upon him at the ceremony.

The coronation ceremony was held in the throne room of the palace. At this moment, the hall was solemn and dignified. Ivy and metal carvings were wrapped around the tall stone pillars, and all the magic lights on the walls were lit up, reflecting the murals on the dome that depicted the achievements of the previous kings, making them shine.

The invited nobles, dressed in their most formal attire, stood solemnly on both sides of the hall according to their family status and rank. Their expressions were dignified, and many of the nobles who had been healed by Li Ang looked on with even greater eagerness.

Outside the hall, crowds of people came to watch the ceremony. Many people who had initially been hesitant about the young queen were surprised to find that the number of nobles attending the ceremony was almost the highest in nearly a century. For some reason, almost all the heads or important members of well-known families were present.

Meanwhile, a rumor of unknown origin but growing ever wider spread among the people: "The chief human knight, chief apothecary, and chief advisor by the Queen's side is the incarnation of the Titan of Life."

If the rumors are true, then Sandramea is not only the queen most supported by nobles in the past century, but may even be the only ruler in the past millennium to have been blessed by the four Titans: power, wisdom, courage, and life.

Such a king will surely lead the dwarf race to unprecedented glory!

As the deep horn sounded, the honor guard, clad in golden armor and carrying tall banners, marched in with perfectly synchronized steps from the far end of the hall, then stood on either side of the path.

Then, a dwarven choir dressed in pristine white robes sang hymns in the dwarven language, praising their ancestors and the Titans. Their voices echoed throughout the hall, adding to the sacred atmosphere.

Then, the main character makes his appearance.

Sandramea Maxwell wore a floor-length robe with a deep red base and gold thread embroidered with lightning and warhammer patterns. Her petite figure was made more majestic by the gorgeous dress.

She was not wearing a crown at the moment; her bright pink, medium-length hair was tied back. Under the banner, she walked step by step toward the throne made of a single piece of black iron at the front of the hall.

Behind her followed an official holding a "lightning scepter" and a "molten crown," and the oath-taking ceremony was conducted under the guidance of the old astrologer, Elhart.

Sandramea Maxwell placed her hand on the open Codex of Thunder, facing all the nobles and commoners, and swore in a steady and firm voice: "I, Sandramea Maxwell, hereby swear to the Titans and my ancestors!"

"For the rest of my life, I will uphold the laws and ancient traditions of the dwarves!"

"In this life, I will protect Ironforge and all its people, and defend against all enemies and calamities!"

"Throughout my life, I will uphold justice, strive diligently, and lead my community towards prosperity!"

After the oath was taken, a master of ceremonies bowed and presented the heavy lightning bolt scepter.

Maya took the scepter, and then another master of ceremonies carried the "Molten Crown," made of fine gold and countless gems, with a huge flaming gem set in the center, to her.

At that moment, everyone held their breath.

Sandra Maya bowed her head slightly, and the old astrologer, Elhart, held up the crown with both hands and solemnly and slowly placed it on Sandra Maya's head.

The moment the crown was placed on top, deafening cheers erupted in the hall!

"Long live Her Majesty Sandramea! Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
