Fares did not respond, and a little light flew out of the woman in the man's clothes. The rosy halo pulled out a few lingering light tails in the air, and gently tossed them towards Fares. Fares stretched out his hand to catch it, and let out a cold breath as he spread his palm. In his palm is a round spar, glowing with a rose-colored luster, crystal clear, not to mention, the bright red crystal silk inside is clear and distinguishable.
This is a crystal of good quality, judging from the volume of this crystal, it is equivalent to one hundred thousand gold coins. The heroic woman said calmly: "The day after tomorrow, me to Sardinia. This Ryukyu gold is both a deposit and your reward. Don't tell me it's not enough."
"Enough is enough..." Fares smiled bitterly: "It's just this little...no, sir. I'm afraid we can't take this commission."
He looked at both Ellen.
The heroic woman looked proud, and only stared at Fares when she came in, with a sense of indifference. Seeing Fares declined this time, she looked at both Ellen. His lips opened slightly and he wanted to say something. But when he saw Alan clearly, his eyes changed slightly, but he said: "It turns out that you have already accepted someone else's entrustment first, so forget it. Liu Jing will return me, and I will find another home."
Fares immediately handed the spar back in his palm.
The woman took it and turned to leave. Allen coughed dryly: "The next time you pay the deposit, don't let a crystal smash it. It's okay for Captain Faris to be open and upright. If you want to run into trouble, I am afraid that the front foot will send you on the road, and you will start to rob you. "
The woman turned her head and squinted her eyes, did not speak, and left like this.
Both Ellen and Fares set the departure time and left the small building. Sitting in the carriage, Edward said, "That woman is a little weird, she is a crystal when she shot. It's not a Lai bird who just debuted, or she has something else. Moreover, she shouldn't be so talkative, but it is obvious after seeing you She changed her words when she spoke. In this way, she should know you."
"I don't remember seeing such a woman." Allen shook his head, and he couldn't forget. Besides, the other party is so special, if you have seen it before, you should have an impression.
"You don't have to meet each other. Now as long as you are a caring person, you should know your features."
Alan frowned: "You mean, was that woman or someone from the imperial capital?"
"+□style_txt; who knows, I can't rule out this possibility." Edward smiled: "This is just a small episode, don't take it too seriously. It's the Bingyue Mercenary Corps, you give someone a stick first, then give it Candies. Tell me, a second-rate mercenary group deserves your attention?"
Allen smiled and said: "Because Hoy said, that Farres' gun is used well. If Hoy's comment is like this, I should invest in it in advance. Anyway, we do need a gun that can take us north. Guide, success or failure does not hurt."
"Tomorrow is Orlando's big wedding." Edward laughed: "How about we make a bet, how many will win over you when we see that opportunity?"
"In short, there will be no less than two. What are you gambled on?"
Edward looked out the window: "His Royal Highnesses, Howson and Seves, will certainly send representatives to observe the ceremony. You are a bit shameless, I don't bet."
"It's boring!" Allen rolled his eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, a hundred bells rang.
The bell towers of all sizes in Gun City ringed bells at the same time, and the bells echoed over the entire Yadgar and spread far away. Allen took Edward and Regis to the White Rock Square in front of the City Lord's Mansion early, and the wedding of the new couple will be held here. But now, the newcomers are not on the square. They are climbing up the mountain behind Gun City to the holy family temple set by the Hoy family on the top of the mountain.
I heard that there is a fire altar in the holy temple that will not go out for many years. Every couple of the Hoy family needs to climb the mountain, get the fire from the fire altar, and go down the mountain back to the white stone square. Put the fire in the stove in the square and you're done.
This is the tradition of the Hoy family. The newlyweds climb down the mountain and the fire, so that they understand that they need to support each other on the road of life. As for fire, it means to open branches and leaves and prosper the descendants. It was originally a tradition of the Hoy family, but it has spread in Gun City for nearly a hundred years. Whenever a new couple got married, Yadgar would go to the holy temple to ask for fire. Although the Hoy family did not make a public statement, they also acquiesced.
It's just that today is the wedding in Orlando, so it looks very grand.
Those who can watch the ceremony on Baishi Square are naturally the VIPs of Gun City. As for the residents of the city, they can only watch from a distance in the high places or the blocks outside the square. As the newcomer's father and host, Hoy stood straight in front of the crowd in a grand costume. Behind was a line of VIPs, including Allen, and the atmosphere was solemn and no one talked. However, they all looked at each other with their eyes, and there were a few people who made Allen notice.
This is the same woman who I saw at the Bingyue Mercenary Corps yesterday. She is still dressed in men's clothing today, but she is wearing a white long dress surrounded by a black fur collar. The maroon hair only reached the shoulders, saying that it was not long or not short. She obviously felt Allen's gaze, turned her head and stared hard, Allen smiled slightly and turned away.
This woman is able to observe the ceremony here, obviously not low. And she stood there, at least a circle next to her, and the men who stood closer to her looked nervous, probably because of this woman.
The second one is an old man with grayer hair than Hoy. Standing by Huoyi's side, he was thin and wrinkled like a tree bark, and looked ridiculous in a bloated fur. But no one dared to really laugh at him, after all, this was Joe Mo, the chief of staff of the Night-traveling Black Wolf Army, a big figure nicknamed "Black Raccoon". About this black raccoon, there is such a word in Beidu. I would rather offend the Imperial Marshal Rodek than to worry about the black raccoon. This shows that this old man is not a good man.
The third is a young man, about thirty years old. She looks good and has long blonde hair. She was covered in a fur cloak, and inside was a luxurious silver-white long dress. The cuffs and hem were embroidered with sword-and-flower patterns with gold threads. That is the family symbol of the sword mason, who is the duke's younger brother, Kao.
There are two people, one old and one young, the former represents Rodek and also represents the eldest prince Hausen, and the latter represents the sword magnate Masen and Seves' uncle. Among the distinguished guests, apart from the unidentified woman, Jomo and Kao are the most honored. The attending guests also mostly stood centered on the two of them, but one of the two was drowsy and the other focused on the front, so that the guests who were standing in front of them who wanted to strike up a conversation but had no way to start had to be anxious.
After all, the atmosphere at the scene is not suitable for social activities. Fortunately, the guests did not stay in the square for too long. Two newcomers from Orlando, who set off before dawn, walked into the square a moment later. Both of them smiled, and put the kind of fire brought down from the mountain into the furnace. The fire suddenly rolled over, splashing countless sparks. The people who were watching from afar burst into cheers, and even Hoy's face showed a smile.
Then Huoyi acted as the host, under the gaze of the residents of the city and the distinguished guests of the square, presided over a brief but old enough ceremony for the two newcomers. When the concentric grass ring that symbolizes the everlasting love between the two is worn from Hoy's hand to the top of the two couples, it also means that the wedding is complete.
Next is the time for the reception, which is the end of the wedding for the two couples. But for guests like Allen, it just happens to be the beginning of the show. The cocktail party attended by the VIPs was set up in the hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, and the square was filled with drinks and cakes for people to use. In the reception hall, after Allen had dealt with several groups of guests, he saw the old man nicknamed the black raccoon approaching with a smile.
Edward hit him and said, "Here." Then he walked away quietly, and the black raccoon came to affect the eyes of most people in the field. The old man didn’t care, he smiled and toasted to Ellen:
Viscount Ellen must be the most exciting young man I have seen in the past ten years. A few days ago, Yu Shancheng beheaded the alien commander. Our Marquis of Iron Spear fought without losing the wind. I guess now those lovely people in Olísgar already know the feat of the Viscount, and can't wait to see your style."
Allen gave him this flattery "thrilling", and smiled now: "Master Jomo is too dear to me, but one thing is for sure, I will leave a very deep impression on those lovely people."
Jomo said "Oh", his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Viscount Allen has a good confidence and a better spirit. Olísgar needs a young man like you, otherwise it would be too boring."
The old man lowered his voice again and said, "This time I come to Tieqiangling, besides attending the ceremony on behalf of His Royal Highness ~EbookFREE.me~ His Royal Highness also has a message to bring to Viscount Allen."
"I wonder if your Highness has any advice?"
The black raccoon opened his eyes, his eyes were icy, and the smile on his mouth was in sharp contrast: "His Royal Highness said, if you are willing to come to him, you will be given the title if you want to be an official of the various legions of the empire. You can choose the official posts below the governor. But if you refuse, then even if you get to the imperial capital, don’t even want to leave."
After the old man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Alan to answer, and said with a smile: "I will stay in Gun City for a few days. Viscount Alan can consider carefully before answering my question. Don't be in a hurry... "
Allen smiled faintly: "But I will leave tomorrow."
"Oh? Then I know, I wish Viscount Allen a pleasant journey." Hei Li smiled, adding the word "happy" specially. Allen didn't answer his question directly, but since they said that they will leave tomorrow, that is to say, they don't consider changing hands, otherwise they should think about it for a few more days. Jomo is so old and fine, how can he not hear the meaning of Allen's words.
