The Young King's Great Ambition
Chapter 34: The Great Temple

They ate all the banquets available so that they still appreciated the city lord for his hospitality.

After that they were taken to a special guest house, the house had twenty rooms, it was only natural that there were people who were group-guided to the mansion.

They quickly fell asleep because of fatigue in the ship that was always tossed by the waves, they were all asleep while butler assasin took turns to stand guard at the door of Fermund's room.

As soon as time passed, the morning came, as we might have guessed, Hermund always did not want to wake up because he felt he had not slept enough, but because the butler was very attentive, he woke Fermund up with words.

"Your Majesty, the five messengers are awake and waiting for you, hurry up and welcome this good day to go to the blessing procession"

His butler spoke near Fermund's ear, and with full consciousness, Hermund got up and took off the nightly night-time night-clothes in the closet and put on his shirt.

"Let's continue on this journey,"

Fermund was also grateful for the hospitality of the city's ruler, he continued his journey by riding.

"Prince Fermund, if we are already at this port it is certain that the city of Nostmir is near, we are only walking towards the southwest" the envoy explained

They drove their horses quickly, leaving the port city, he only needed to pass through the valley, and on the way, they could see from afar, the Sorgrad mountains which became the natural fortress and protector of the south.

They continued to move forward in the right direction, their gaze continued to be at the front, after walking for quite a long time through the barren valley, looking as far as the eye could see a city, it seemed like the city of Nostmir had been seen.

"Prince Fermund, I present to you, the city of Nostmir, the city that became a refuge for the worshippers of the god Oreneia the light" the envoy explained

Fermund smiled and said, "After we arrive, I will meet with the high priest and apologize to him for postponing the ceremony of blessing the future king"

"That's a good act" the envoy replied

Slowly approaching the city of Nostmir, the soldiers on the palace walls headed straight to where the gate mechanism to lift the bars and open the gate.

As they entered the city, the densely populated street arrived in an orderly manner and gave way while bowing to the future king, it seemed as if the news of the coronation of prince Fermund had spread widely throughout the kingdom.

The envoy led Fermund to a large temple in the eastern part of the city's ruling mansion.

It can be seen from a distance even though it is covered by the height of the city's population buildings, large temples with four high towers, all of the buildings are seen colored in ivory white and yellow.

The appearance of the temple became clearer as they passed through the square, because the large temple stood some distance from the square, and there were no other buildings around the temple.

They descended the horse and entered the temple, where several people wore light yellow ivory armor combined with chainmail.

The envoy explained to them that the warrior was the order of monasteries of the great temple of Oreneia.

"Great squad" praised Fermund

After entering there, the grand priestess saw, he looked like a bald middle-aged man and wore a long white and yellow ivory robe and shirt,he sat on a golden chair with ornaments of sun and moon symbols on the right and left sides of the magnificent chair.

Fermund also saw that there were many people who wore white clothes and ivory-yellow robes, as if they were all people who devoted themselves to the god Oreneia.

"Prince Fermund Borfreud, welcome to the great temple of the god Oreneia" the grand priest said

"Greetings great priest, I'm surprised you know my last name, you're the fifth person to know my last name"

"You should have said something, right"

Fermund bowed to the high priest and apologized.

"I'm sorry I've resigned my blessing and coronation, but I'm ready now"

"Then come with me to the altar behind me"

Behind that magnificent golden chair, there was a golden altar and in front of it was a pond made of white marble and gold, Hermund looked forward, looking out,d not far from the pool was a large statue made of quartz crystal.

The statue is a burly man who is seen holding the sun and moon, he is also depicted wearing silk clothes and robes of animal skin

"This is the great figure of Oreneia the light"

"Look great" praised Fermund

"Now take off all your clothes and dive into the pool, with my aba, you come out of the pool."

The procession was carried out, Hermund took off his clothes and threw himself in the pond and stood, while the great Priest was at the altar and holding a glowing stone and a golden scepter.

"Enter in the purification that reflects the bright light," said the great priest as he signaled to begin soaking up to the neck.

Fermund began to walk towards the deepest part of the pond, and he stopped as the surface of the water touched his chin.

All the people were gathered in front of the great priest, suddenly from their bodies all emitted light, the light became one and flew towards the statue.

Fermund did not know the golden light, but after he sensed it, it turned out to be pure magic energy offered to Oreneia the light and given to Fermund who was soaking in the pond.

The light swirled over the pool and suddenly the light came down to Fermund's head.

Due to the light from the pure magic energy, the pool of water in the pond was reflecting a golden light, and it was as if the water had turned into gold-colored water.

Fermund did not feel anything when pure magic energy entered his body through his head, the great priest told him to come out of the pond because the blessing had been completed,now he will go with the high priest for the coronation in the capital.
