"Didn't I come too early, why didn't they come for so long? Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It has been an hour since Alice sat down, but she was the only one who arrived at the entire venue, even the bride and groom did not appear in the venue, only the waiters were still setting up tables, chairs and tableware in the venue, in addition to some people dressed in sacrificial costumes came to the venue, they were at the front of the venue, an oak tree branch was also arranged, it seemed that a ceremony for sacrifice should be arranged.

Standing behind Alice, Avrigne, who temporarily appeared as a waiter, smiled awkwardly, and then whispered comfortingly.

"The banquet only started in the evening, and the venue is still being set up and the ceremony is still being held. ”

"Rituals, rituals to the gods, do you still have the gods witness when you get married?"

"Yes, not only we in Ballusenger, but all of Scandinavia have such a custom, if you can enter into a marriage contract in the eyes of the gods, if you can obtain the blessings of the gods, then you will definitely be extremely happy in life. ”

"That's really a problem, tell me earlier, let me continue to visit this interesting city. ”

Alice grumbled and said that she would have been able to visit the city blessed by the trees before she had come to the venue and taken her seat, but it would be rude and disrespectful to the host if she left her seat now, after all, on the surface, Alice was still a guest invited by Sigourney and an important ally, and Alice still needed to give them this face.

Of course, Alice is definitely not here to simply attend this wedding, it is only secondary, the real important thing is to collect intelligence, in this grand banquet, to collect information about the various forces in Scandinavia, and this ceremony arranged by the Barusenge people gave her a surprise, if it goes well, she will also be able to get some information about the Aesir gods this time.

Although Alice has already received a lot of information about the Aesir Protoss from Brunhilde's mouth, it is not necessary to be able to get some surprises this time, especially this wedding is also very important for the Aesir Protoss's power in the main plane.

The boring wait made the time very long, and in order to prevent Alice from being dissatisfied, Averne quietly instructed the chef in charge of the banquet to prepare some pre-dinner desserts to entertain Alice, who she had heard about Alice's love of food in the previous battle.

From roses, tulips, Drinks made from the dew extracted from flowers such as irises, cakes smeared with winter honey that can only be found in cold regions, and honey pudding made from the characteristic consumption of milk, these Scandinavian snacks made Alice very satisfied, and by the time she put down the spoon in her hand, the sun in the sky had reached the edge of the mountains to the west, and one after another, guests from all over the country had already taken their seats, and the new king of Jeat, Wiglaf, was also seated by Alice under the leadership of Siegmund。

Everyone who entered the venue would be shocked by the huge bonfire and the giant who was cooking dragon meat next to the campfire, they didn't expect that this time Barusenge would be so big that he would take out a priceless dragon corpse as a cooking ingredient for Sigoaney's marriage.

The bride and groom had not yet appeared in the hall by this time, only the ten princes of Barushinger, dressed in handsome clothes, were entertaining the guests, and the king of Barushinger was already seated.

"Francis guy, didn't you invite, why didn't she come this time?"

Reaching out to take the towel handed over by Avinier, gently wiping the corners of her mouth, Alice pretended not to care and asked, it was impossible for her to expose her relationship with Drake, that would be very detrimental to Drake and herself, and even more so to affect the relationship with the entire Scandinavian Peninsula.

Avril did not dare to slack off on Alice's question, she reached out and summoned a maid, and whispered in her ear, only to see the maid hurrying in the direction of the door, and it was about five minutes before she returned, and brought back the news about Drake.

"His Excellency Francis will not be here this time, she has refused the invitation of His Highness Sigourny, and even the messenger has not been sent. ”

"What about the reason for refusal?"

It is said that the situation in the Celtic Isles has changed for a new time, and she has led the fleet to the island of England herself, and has no time or energy to pay attention to Sigourney's playhouse. ”

The last sentence should be Francis Drake's original words, because there is a strong personal touch in the words.

The Celtic Isles here refer not to the giant plane inhabited by the Celtic gods in the void, but to the main plane of the island located at the western end of the North Sea, of which Fergus and Skaha and others are from the westernmost island of Ireland, and the other two are Scotland and England, which are less than 100 meters apart, and if it is at low tide, you can walk to the opposite side without even a boat.

Due to the chaotic divine war of the Celtic gods in the void, the Celtic Isles of the main plane are also at war because of their respective beliefs in the gods, among which Scotland is occupied by elven druids and dragons, Ireland is ruled by humans, and England, which has the largest territory, is now controlled by a group of giants.

"Lord Alice, are you familiar with Lord Francis?"

Avrini naturally asked, don't think that Avrigne is really a waiter when she is doing the work of a waiter, she is also responsible for listening to the information and information of various guests, and collecting these information and passing it to Sigony's hands.

For the forces of Scandinavia, Francis Drake is a very troublesome guy, she is entrenched in the North Sea, blocking the entire Scandinavia's maritime trade with the Celts, and also preventing the entire Scandinavia invasion of the Celts, after all, no matter how strong the berserkers are on land, they can only do nothing in the face of the turbulent sea, not to mention that with the backward technology of Scandinavia, they can only build a small ship that is only more than ten meters long, if they encounter Drake's big ships on the ocean, it will become a one-sided slaughter。

What's more, Alice is now the most important ally in the whole of Scandinavia against Attila, if she is involved with Francis Drake, it will not be good news for the whole of Scandinavia, it will make Alice's identity change from a trusted ally to a temporary alliance with evil intentions.

"Of course I'm familiar with it, that guy's fleet has robbed my caravan a few times. ”

"That's a rampant guy. ”

Avini quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at this moment, the bride and groom dressed in luxurious costumes entered, and at some point those little flower essences had already flown in the sky, and the bright red rose petals condensed from their hands, drifting down like goose feather rain, and the air began to fill with the alluring fragrance of flowers.

Those were not real rose petals, but a kind of magic peculiar to these flower spirits, and when the petals fell to the ground, they turned into magic and returned to the air, leaving only a lingering fragrance, and perhaps no woman present except Alice and Sigourney could come back to their senses from this beautiful scene.

"Sigoarney, this is a surprise that your brothers discussed with me. ”

Siegel stood beside Sigournee, took Sigourney's hand, and whispered with a smile on his face.

"Well, now is our wedding, in the presence of the gods, for the end of the war between Ballusenger and the Goths, and for a lasting peace. ”

On the surface, it seems to be a celebration of the reconciliation between Barusinger and the Goths, but in reality it is a warning to Sigourney not to make extraneous troubles at this most critical time, in order not to go to war and not to anger the gods.

Amid the loud voices of everyone's blessings, the two newcomers came to the trunk of a huge oak tree, where Odin's priest was already standing, where the two of them were going to recite aloud the eulogy of the god-king Odin and the god-queen Frigga, and swore to Frigga that they hoped to receive the blessing of the god queen of the Aesir gods.

Frigga is the queen of the Aesir gods, the official wife of Odin, and like most of the other gods, she is the patron saint of women, the protector of marriage and family, and she has a certain right to rule in both the kingdom of God and the underworld.

According to books and word of mouth, the queen was a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes, often adorned with goshawk feathers on her head, and loved to wear snow-white clothes, with a golden belt around her waist and a bunch of keys hanging from it.

In Scandinavia, where the Aesirs are worshipped, the marriage will only be recognized if they receive the blessing of the Frigga behind them, and the vows and assurances made before the gods will also be transformed into bonds that cannot be broken to maintain the marriage and family, even if both men and women have become enemies in life and death, their relationship will not be dissolved, unless they can withstand the wrath of the gods caused by the violation of the contract signed in the eyes of the gods.

Not far behind the sacrifices, rows of gagged, bound hands and feet were struggling frantically, among them were centaurs, gnolls, orcs, mammoths, white bears, apparently warriors from the Atila army, captured on the battlefield and taken prisoner, and so on to be hung upside down in a tree as a sacrifice to Odin.

This ritual is a ritual created by intelligent beings to imitate the legend of Odin being thrown down on the World Tree, as long as there is a solemn occasion, the priests will always take the trouble to repeat this ritual, trying to obtain the blessing of the gods through this ritual, and obtain the guidance of the gods.

Although not every ritual can attract the attention of the gods, and not every time it can be successfully blessed, as long as it is successful, it can obtain what mortals can only dream of, or great power, or great wealth, or unparalleled power, like Beowulf, like Sigoaney.

The sacrifices had only been on the oak branches for a few seconds before they stopped struggling, and there was a commotion among the many people in the room, all of whom were strong men who could see their souls, and they could clearly see the gray souls floating out of the bodies of those who had been hanging upside down, and quickly disappeared into thin air.

"The gods are watching this ritual. ”

"These souls must have been taken away by Valkyrie, and it seems that the gods are very satisfied with the sacrifice this time. ”

In the midst of the discussion of the powerful men, the news of the gods' concern spread rapidly, and the mortals, who could not see such a scene, led by the priests, knelt down to the corpse of the hanged man, and they recited the hymn of Odin aloud with fanaticism.

The romantic atmosphere that had been brewed by the flower spirits disappeared without a trace, and the festive wedding was transformed into a ritual of devout worship to the gods in an instant, but no one objected, because even the two couples, Sigourney and Siegel, were chanting the rituals and bowing down to the oak trees.

The ceremony lasted for an hour, until Alice was a little impatient, and the wedding was finally back on track, but this time it was different again, no matter what, the wedding had already gained the attention of the gods, especially if the sacrifices were taken away by the gods, which showed that the gods had approved of the union with Sigourney and Siegel, and the peace between Goth and Barusenge.

[That's bad.] 】

Thinking like this, Sigourney and Siegel have folded their hands and stood on the high platform to receive the blessings of all their relatives and guests, and this also symbolizes the official beginning of the banquet, rows of waiters with food and fish into the field, roasted dragon meat, stewed venison, seafood soup and other delicacies quickly occupied a round table, as well as fine wine from the south and mare's milk wine from the grassland.

The sound of wine glasses clashing one after another, the sound of laughter and laughter mingled, the smell of barbecued meat filled the air, and the band that appeared at some point was playing a wonderful music with a unique Scandinavian instrument.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect your wedding to be like this. ”

Alice, who sighed like this, continued to pay attention to the food in front of her, she found that compared to the food she ate in the barracks, the food today was a little more delicious, and the ingredients were also extraordinarily rich, in addition to the precious dragon meat, she also found the delicious food cooked by the fierce beasts such as the winter wolf, the mammoth, and the white bear.
