Chapter 963: Marriage

Before Fares responded, a little light flew out from the hand of the woman in men's clothing. The rose-colored halo pulled out several lingering light tails in the air, and gently threw them towards Fares. Fares could only grab it with his hand, and let out a cold breath when he spread his palm. In his palm is a perfectly round spar, with a rose-colored luster, not to mention crystal clear, and the bright red crystal strands inside are clearly distinguishable.

This is a high-quality crystal. Judging from the volume of this crystal, it is already equivalent to one hundred thousand gold coins. The heroic woman said indifferently: "Escort me to Sardinia the day after tomorrow. This Ryujin is not only the deposit but also your reward. Don't tell me it's not enough."

"Enough is enough..." Fares smiled wryly, "It's just this little... No, sir. I'm afraid we won't be able to accept this commission."

He looked towards Allen and the two of them.

The heroic woman looked proud, and after entering, she only stared at Fares, feeling a little defiant. Seeing that Fares declined this time, she only looked at Alan and the two of them. His lips parted slightly, and he wanted to say something. But when he saw Alan clearly, his eyes changed slightly, but he said: "It turns out that I have already accepted someone else's commission first, so forget it. Return Liujing to me, and I will find another house."

Fares immediately handed back the spar in his palm.

The woman took it and turned to leave. Allen coughed dryly and said, "Next time you pay the deposit, don't throw a single crystal at it. It's okay for Captain Fares to be upright. If you run into someone with evil intentions, I'm afraid they will send you on your way, and they will rob you of your wealth." "

The woman turned her head and squinted her eyes, but left without saying a word.

Allen and Fares set a departure time and left the small building. Sitting in the carriage, Edward said: "That woman is a bit weird, she is a crystal when she makes a move. She is either a newly debuted bird, or she has something else. Besides, she should not be so easy to talk to at first, but after seeing you, she obviously She changed her words when she got to her mouth. From this point of view, she should know you."

"I don't remember seeing such a woman." Allen shook his head, he had a photographic memory. What's more, the other party is so special, if you have seen it before, you should have an impression.

"You don't have to meet the other person, as long as you are interested, you should know your appearance and characteristics."

Allen frowned: "You mean, the woman just now was from the imperial capital?"

"＋□style_txt;Who knows, this possibility can't be ruled out." Edward said with a smile: "This is just a small episode, so don't take it too seriously. It's the Ice Moon Mercenary Corps, you give them a stick first, and then Candy. Tell me, a second-rate mercenary group is worth your attention?"

Allen smiled and said: "Because Hoy said that Fares's gun is not bad.

With Huo Yi's comment, I'll make an investment in advance. Anyway, we really need a guide who can take us north. Success or failure doesn't matter. "

"Tomorrow is Orlando's wedding." Edward laughed: "How about we make a bet, how many people will take advantage of that opportunity to win over you when we see it?"

"In short, there will be no less than two. What do you want to bet?"

Edward looked out of the window: "His Royal Highnesses Howson and Seves will definitely send representatives to watch the ceremony. You are a bit shameless, so I won't bet."

"Boring!" Allen rolled his eyes and said.

In the early morning of the next day, a hundred bells rang together.

The large and small bell towers in Gun City rang the bell at the same time, and the bell echoed over the entire Jedgar sky and spread far away. Allen brought Edward and Regis to the Baishi Square in front of the City Lord's Mansion early, where the couple's wedding will be held. But now, the newcomers are not in the square. They are climbing up the mountain behind Gun City, heading for the family temple of the Huoyi family on the top of the mountain.

It is said that there is a fire altar in the holy temple that does not go out all the time. Every new couple of the Huoyi family needs to climb the mountain together, and then get the kindling from the fire altar, and then go down the mountain to return to the Baishi Square. Put the kindling into the stove in the square, and you're done.

This is the tradition of the Huoyi family. Newcomers go up and down the mountain and escort the fire, in order to let them understand that they should support each other on the road of life. As for the kindling, it means that the branches and leaves are scattered, and the descendants are prosperous. It was originally a tradition of the Huoyi family, but it has been spread in Gun City for nearly a hundred years. Every time a new couple gets married, Yedga will go to the holy temple to ask for fire. Although the Huoyi family did not express their position publicly, they also acquiesced.

It's just that today is the wedding in Orlando, so it looks extra grand.

Those who can watch the ceremony on Baishi Square are naturally the distinguished guests of Gun City. As for the residents of the city, they can only watch from a high place or a block outside the square. As the newcomer's father and host, Huo Yi stood straight in front of the crowd in a royal uniform. Behind them was a line of VIPs including Alan. The atmosphere was solemn and no one talked. But they all looked at each other with their eyes, and there were a few people who caught Allen's attention.

A woman who was seen at the Bingyue Mercenary Group yesterday, she is still wearing men's clothes today, but she is wearing a long white dress with a black fur collar around it. The maroon hair only reaches the shoulders, whether it is long or not, it is not short. She obviously felt Alan's gaze, and turned her head to give him a hard look. Alan smiled slightly and turned his face away.

This woman is able to observe the ceremony here, obviously her status is not low. And when she stood there, there was at least an empty circle around her, and the men who stood closer to her all looked nervous, probably because of this woman.

The second one is an old man with grayer hair than Huo Yi. Standing beside Huo Yi, he was small and thin, his face was wrinkled like tree bark, and he looked ridiculous in a bloated fur coat. But no one dared to really laugh at him. After all, this was Qiao Mo, the chief of staff of the Night Walking Black Wolf Army, a big man nicknamed "Black Fox". About this black raccoon, there is such a saying in the northern capital. He would rather offend Marshal Rodke of the Empire than worry about the black raccoon. From this we can see that this old man is not a benevolent man.

The third was a young man, about thirty years old. He has a handsome appearance and long golden hair that is nearly white. She was covered with a fur cloak, and inside was a luxurious silver-white gown, the cuffs and hem were embroidered with patterns of sword-heroic flowers with gold thread. That is the family symbol of Sword Lord Masson, who is the Duke's younger brother, Kayo.

The old and the young two, the former represents Rodke and the eldest prince Howson, and the latter is the representative of Sword Lord Mason and the uncle of Seves. Among the distinguished guests, apart from the unidentified woman, Jomo and Kayo were the most distinguished. Most of the guests watching the ceremony stood with the two of them as the center, but one of them was drowsy, and the other was focused on the front, so the guests standing there who wanted to strike up a conversation but couldn't make a move had to be anxious.

After all, the atmosphere at the scene was not suitable for social activities. Fortunately, the guests were not allowed to stay in the square for too long. The two newcomers from Orlando, who set off early before dawn, walked into the square after a while. With smiles on their faces, both of them put the tinder brought down from the mountain into the furnace, and the fire suddenly roiled, splashing countless sparks. The people watching from a distance immediately burst into cheers, and even Huo Yi showed a smile on his face.

Next, Huo Yi acted as the host, presided over a brief but old enough ceremony for the two newcomers under the eyes of all the residents of the city and the distinguished guests of the square. When the concentric grass ring, which symbolizes the eternal love between the two, is worn from Huo Yi's hand to the top of the heads of the two couples, it also means that the wedding is complete.

Then it was time for the reception, which was the end of the wedding for the two couples. But for a guest like Allen, it was just the beginning of a good show. The reception for the distinguished guests was set up in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and the square was filled with drinks and cakes for people to take by themselves. In the reception hall, after Alan dealt with a few groups of guests, he saw the old man nicknamed Black Fox walking over with a smile.

Edward bumped into him and said: "Here we come." Then he walked away calmly, and the arrival of the black raccoon attracted the attention of most people in the field. The old man didn't care, he raised his glass to Allen with a smile and said: "Viscount Allen must be the most wonderful young man I have seen in the past ten years. We, the Marquis of the Iron Spear, fought without losing the wind. I guess those lovely people in Olisgar already know the viscount's feat, and can't wait to see your demeanor."

Allen gave him a "thrilling" flattery, and smiled immediately: "Master Jomo thinks highly of me, but one thing is for sure, I will leave a very deep impression on those lovely people."

Jomo said "Oh" and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Viscount Allen has good confidence and even more courage. Oliska needs young people like you, otherwise, it would be too boring."

The old man lowered his voice again and said: "This time I came to Iron Gun Ridge, apart from observing the ceremony on behalf of His Highness Howson, His Highness also has a message to bring to Viscount Allen."

"I don't know what advice your Highness has?"

Hei Li opened his eyes, his eyes were piercingly cold, which was in stark contrast to the smile on his mouth: "Your Highness said, if you are willing to come to his side, if you want a title, I will give you a title. If you want to be an official, all legions of the empire You can choose the official position below the head. But if you refuse, then even if you get to the imperial capital, you don't even think about leaving."

After the old man finished speaking, without waiting for Alan to answer, he said with a smile: "I will stay in Gun City for a few more days. Viscount Alan can think carefully before answering my question. No hurry... "

Allen smiled lightly: "But I will leave tomorrow."

"Oh? Then I know, I wish Viscount Allen a pleasant journey." The black raccoon laughed, emphasizing the word "happy". Allen didn't answer his question directly, but since he said that he will leave tomorrow, that is to say, he will serve without considering the change of owner, otherwise he should think about it for a few more days. Jomo is old and sophisticated, so how could he fail to understand the meaning of Alan's words.
