Chapter 98 Prayer (Daily 2.6, Small Chapter 34k, )

"Okay, let's leave Pantalone's affairs to Ye Lan first. It just so happens that you are here, and I have a job for you."

As she spoke, Ningguang took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Wang Hao.

The file isn't thick and doesn't look like a big job.

Wang Hao reached out to take it and flipped through it.

"Invite fairy ceremony?"

What is written on the document is the procedure of this year's ceremony of inviting the immortals.

However, Wang Hao was a little confused. What did this job have to do with him?
I am not qualified to ask the gods to come.

So, Wang Hao cast a somewhat puzzled look at Ningguang.

Seeing Wang Hao's gaze, Ningguang explained, "This year is Keqing's first year in office. According to custom, she will be the one to invite the immortals."

Keqing came to perform the ceremony of summoning the immortals, so what does it have to do with me?

Although I have a good relationship with Keqing, I can't complete the ritual of summoning the immortal on her behalf.

Wang Hao's eyes were still full of confusion. He looked at Ningguang without saying anything.

Ningguang continued, "Keqing and I discussed it and decided that you should write the prayer to summon the immortals. This will give you some experience."

Now Wang Hao understood that this was paving the way for him.

He is now the legal advisor of the General Affairs Department, but this status is still a bit low for him to be involved in all the affairs of Liyue.

Therefore, Ningguang and Keqing jointly appointed Wang Hao to write the prayer to summon the immortal.

In Liyue, anything related to the Emperor is an honor.

By then, although the benefits Wang Hao would obtain would certainly not be as great as those obtained by Yuhengxing Keqing, it would still be a very rich political qualification.

After realizing what was happening, Wang Hao was somewhat moved.

In fact, he knew that Keqing and Ningguang's relationship wasn't that good.

Although both sides are pushed to the top by the other side,
But because of some conflicts between the two people's ideas,
Ningguang and Keqing even quarrel every time they have a meeting.

But this time, for him, the two Seven Stars actually joined forces.

How could Wang Hao not be moved by this?
Wang Hao nodded immediately and said, "I understand. Leave it to me."

A prayer was not a problem for him, and he naturally could not refuse such an opportunity.

Besides, since this was the intention of Ningguang and Keqing, he couldn't refuse.

"Well, let's go then. Is three days enough?"

"That's enough. I'll come back in three days."

……

After leaving Yuehai Pavilion, we returned to the orphanage and rested for a night.

Early the next morning,
Wang Hao went directly to the General Affairs Department and found Deacon Zhang: "Deacon Zhang, I want to ask, where are the records of the ceremonies of inviting immortals from past dynasties kept?"

Although he said that he was confident that he could write a good prayer, Wang Hao understood better that knowing both oneself and the enemy would ensure victory in every battle.

It would be safer to first understand the level of ritual prayers for inviting immortals in past dynasties before writing them.

If he doesn't check anything and writes it down later, it won't conform to the prayer specifications at all. Then, it will not only be Wang Hao who will be embarrassed, but also Ningguang and Keqing who pushed him to the top.

When Deacon Zhang heard Wang Hao asking about the records of the ceremony of inviting the immortals throughout the ages, he was not confused. The ceremony of inviting the immortals was about to begin, and people would often come to ask about it.

"The General Affairs Department has four document bookshelves. However, the Law Department also has the chance to invite the Immortal Ceremony. You can go directly to the reference room. Turn left after entering the door and look for the second bookshelf at the back. It should be on the third floor."

Deacon Zhang is able to assist in the management of the Legal Department, so he is naturally knowledgeable and he knows the entire information room like the back of his hand.

"OK, thanks."

Wang Hao thanked Deacon Zhang and immediately went to the information room.

It was still early and there were not many people in the Law Department. I went into the data room and followed Deacon Zhang's instructions. I soon found the files.

Each portion isn’t much, but when piled up it’s a lot.

Wang Hao took a rough look and found that there were actually seven or eight hundred files, which was quite a lot.

You know, the history of the ceremony of inviting the immortals is actually not that long.

When the Emperor personally ruled Liyue, there was no such ceremony.

It was not until the Emperor transferred power to the Seven Stars that such a ceremony took place.

The Legal Department of the General Affairs Department has inherited seven or eight hundred records, which means that the Legal Department has been passed down for at least seven or eight hundred years.

This is just one department of the General Affairs Department.

After sighing, Wang Hao began to read the files.

Some of the files record events from a very long time ago, but the paper used is not old. It seems that someone copied them, and the originals are probably sealed.

This is normal, after all, it is difficult for paper to survive hundreds or even thousands of years.

As he flipped through the documents, Wang Hao gradually understood how to write the prayer.

The prayers for the Immortal Ceremony are mainly divided into several aspects:

Praise the greatness of the Emperor,
Sing praises to the Emperor's achievements,
Explain the purpose of the ceremony.
Pray for the Emperor’s blessing.

And finally, the call to the gods. In general, there is nothing complicated.

After all, the ceremonies were handed down by the Emperor, so how could they be complicated?

To put it bluntly, the ceremony of inviting the immortals is nothing more than an annual work report.

If it is too complicated, it will be inconvenient.

After reading about a hundred records, Wang Hao already had an idea in his mind.

After packing up his things and putting them back in place, he left the document room and returned to his office.

"First of all, we must start by praising the Emperor."

Back in the office, Wang Hao took out a pen and paper and began to think.
a long time,

He just wrote the first sentence on the rice paper.

'The Emperor is above, and the people are righteous and prosperous.'

The Emperor is our superior. He performed righteous deeds and revitalized the people of Liyue today.

After setting the tone, Wang Hao continued to write, and the next step was the actual beginning of the prayer.

"I respectfully offer the incense of Taitian Zhen to the holy spirit of Liyue and present this sacrificial text."

It means burning incense, reciting prayers and inviting the Emperor.

The sacred and holy spirit of Liyue refers to the Geo Emperor.

And when inviting the Emperor, one must once again praise his greatness.

Wang Hao's thoughts flowed like a spring, and inspiration kept coming to him. The charcoal pencil in his hand kept drawing, and characters appeared one by one under his pen.

Of course, what Wang Hao wrote was comfortable, but the barrage was a bit boring.

[I don’t understand, not a single word.]

[Are there any archaeologists? Please translate it for me. ]

[The original scholar has retreated, so we need to ask the original literature scholar for help. 】

[The Liyue characters are not complete yet, and I can’t recognize them, but the words ‘Liyue’ appear on it. ]

[Useless original writer, get lost. 】

[Fuck, you ******]

Compared to watching Wang Hao write, a war of words is more suitable for barrage comments.

Wang Hao didn't care and was not affected at all. After finishing it in one go, he began to revise it carefully.

Some words and sentences are inappropriate and should be deleted.

Some words may be offensive and should be replaced with other words.

Wang Hao checked every word until there was a knock on the office door.

"Advisor Wang Hao, it's time to get off work."

It’s Deacon Zhang.

Only then did Wang Hao realize that a whole day had already passed?

He didn't even feel hungry or thirsty.

Sure enough, when you concentrate on something, time passes very quickly.

"OK, thanks."

Wang Hao responded, then put down the manuscript in his hand. After thinking about it, he felt a little worried again, although this was the General Affairs Department and there was no possibility of thieves.

But what if?
So, Wang Hao put away the final revised draft, put it in his arms, destroyed the other drafts, and then left the office with peace of mind.

While Wang Hao was writing the prayer,
In another place, people were also talking about him.

A secret room in the North Country Bank.

"Is everything cleaned up?" Pantalone sat behind his desk, his hands crossed, supporting his chin, looking lazy.

Not far in front of him stood a few Fatui elites who were wrapped up in blankets.
These elites are generally called debt handlers.

"It has been dealt with. All the family members of the traitors involved in this building materials incident will be sent to Lord Doctor, and those who are not doing their job well will be handed over to Lord Captain and incorporated into the front-line troops."

The debt handler replied respectfully.

"Yes, that's right. Fatui doesn't need traitors, and neither does Solstice. I don't need trash, and neither does Solstice."

Pantalone stood up, took a few steps, and then asked, "How is the intelligence gathering going on about Wang Hao?"

The debt handler immediately took out a document and said, "It's all recorded on it. However, the Adventurer's Association refuses to provide information about the other party's parents."

The headquarters of the Adventurers' Association is in Zhidong, but their relationship with Zhidong is not a completely direct unit, not to mention the branches in various places.

Therefore, Liyue's Adventurer's Association will not give Zhidong any face at all.

"Adventurer's Association..." Pantalone's eyes showed a hint of coldness, but it soon disappeared. "Hmph, let's put it aside for now. We have to keep track of this guy in the future. His level... should be the same as that of Ye Lan."

As he spoke, Pantalone took the document and looked through it carefully.

"Tsk tsk tsk, another noble flower growing out of the mud, Liyue..."
