Chapter 18: Confederation

After receiving the marriage certificate, Li Jia and Celinda walked out of the auditorium. Xiao Chen and others who came out first stood at the door and flexed into the sky to eject various light and light strips. These magic, which has only light and shadow effects but no lethality, have successfully rendered a festive atmosphere.
Surrounded by everyone, the crowd walked towards the small garden behind the auditorium, and they will hold a simple wedding reception there during lunch time. Since we have n’t been able to put too much energy on eating and drinking after the journey, the supply of ingredients is not rich, and the most important thing is that there are not enough condiments to cook, so it ’s too reluctant to set up a round table wedding banquet. , But the buffet is still manageable.
Several long tables were placed around and in the middle of the garden, covered with linen tablecloths. Chef Lao He directed several apprentices and put a pile of food on the table. The most dishes on the plate are various kinds of meat, as well as fish from the surrounding river, and the rest are various cold vegetables and various snacks.
Earl Carlos poked a piece of rice cake with a fork and placed it on his plate, watching the newlyweds walking among the people with wine glasses. He nodded contentedly, took a bite of rice cake and Guo Qian said on the side: "Chairman Guo, today is really a memorable day. Our alliance has taken a solid step forward."
"The alliance doesn't exist yet, Your Excellency, I said that today this wedding is for two young people to love each other freely, not to form an alliance." Guo Qian said.
Earl chewed the rice cake in his mouth and shrugged, "Of course, I don't have the habit of using my daughter as a chip exchange. However, you can also see my sincerity from this. After all, no matter what your attitude is, I have treated my daughter Come to the door. Even if you and I look back, my daughter is still Li Jia's wife. This is the noble's rule, and I can only blame my own vision. "
Guo Qian smiled and said, "Then you are thinking too much. We never thought of being an enemy of the Earl. On the contrary, hasn't our economic and trade cooperation been going smoothly? And two days ago, you were at the enlarged meeting of the committee. After giving a speech, I believe that the story of the wolves killing tigers that you said touched some people. Please be restless, we still need a little time to make a final decision. "
"This is the difference between making a decision by one person and making decisions by many people. Your approach may be less likely to make mistakes, but it is also easier to lose opportunities." Count Carlos raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes showed a sense of superiority. , "In my domain, I am the only one who makes the decision, but this does not prevent me from listening to others."
When Count Carlos saw Guo Qian smiling without a word, he didn't say much about this issue. At this time, Li Jia and Celinda came over with wine glasses. Earl Carlos took a wine glass filled with sweet fruit wine, "Congratulations, my children. Here is a small gift for you two."
He took two silver badges inlaid with crystals from his jacket pocket and gave them to them. There are two axe made of spar on the badge, "The pair of badges represent a guard composed of fifty mad warriors. Both leaders have intermediate level, now I will give them to you Two, as your private army. "
Celinda looked at the badge with a complex expression, and she asked: "There are still Berserker forces? How many things are you hiding from me?"
Earl Carlos, with a kind face, said: "You know, a father would be willing to do a lot to protect his daughter. Preparing a small guard for her is just not worth mentioning. Thing. "
Li Jia wanted to return the badge to the earl. He said: "Master Earl, this is the army of the Arias family. You only need to give Celinda a person. I am not suitable for accepting such gifts."
"First, you should call my father. Second, I feel obliged to protect her husband for Celinda. I don't want you, a fragile magician, to die inexplicably someday. Said the count. Li Jia saw the count look firm, and Celinda kept giving him a glance, so he had to put away the badge.
Carlos smiled slightly and looked at Guo Qian. Guo Qian was not quite as generous as the opponent's shot. Although he was also prepared to have a gift, it was a bit uncomfortable. When he was hesitant to take out the gift list with daily necessities in his pocket, Xiao Chen gathered from one side and said: "Chairman Guo, I brought the gift you prepared for me. As a new congratulation to our school. "
auzw.com Xiao Chen took out a long sword from the heart of the traveler. The hilt and scabbard of the long sword are not very eye-catching, but this sword is a little longer than the ordinary long sword . When it was pulled out of the scabbard by Xiao Chen, it showed a colorful glow in the sun.
Earl Carlos thought the sword was familiar, and after a moment of examination, he was surprised: "Is this the sacred sword of Benegas'‘ broken light ’?

Xiao Chen inserted the broken light back into the scabbard and said, "Yes. It was seriously injured in our fight to kill Benegas, but I have asked the masters of the dwarves to repair this. Sword. Although it may be a little less powerful than the original, it can no longer be regarded as a holy weapon, but it is also a very valuable souvenir after all. I think it is given as a gift to the first couple of the Tower of China and the Earl of Montenegro. very suitable."
After all, Celinda was a swordsman. When she took over the sword, the joy on her face was overwhelming, and her hands were shaking.
"I have to admit. Your generosity and heroism of the Chinese people surprised me." Count Carlos also sighed.
Xiao Chen bowed his head slightly and said, "You are wrong, Li Jia is my best friend. No matter the friendship between me and him, or the friendship between us and you, nothing is measurable."
Earl Carlos had a satisfied smile on his face, and he waved to Li Jia and Celinda: "Okay, my children, go walk again, don't let the guests feel cold. Go."
Xiao Chen picked up two glasses of wine from the side and handed it to Count Carlos. Then he said, "I have a question about the league."
"Please say."
"If we meet other enemies outside the kingdom, will you be on the same side as us?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Of course!" Count Carlos replied neatly.
"Then if this enemy is very powerful, or even as powerful as a god?" Xiao Chen asked further.
"How could there be an enemy as powerful as a god?" The count asked.
"I'm just assuming."
"To be honest, I do n’t think people can fight against the spirits. Although Master Banderas and I have a deep connection with the Seven Towers, and I admire the Seven Towers’ will to challenge the spirits. Seriously consider whether the battle is worth it. "The count said frankly.
"Well, I think I understand what you think of the alliance." Xiao Chen said thoughtfully.
