Chapter 162: Greeting Etiquette
After nearly a month of trekking, everyone finally got not far from the Lion King's Territory. After another day's journey, by dusk, you can basically reach the lion king.
On this morning, the sun was rising, the sky was cloudless, and the sky was blue. The crowd packed up and began to hurry.
However, they had just walked for a short time, and when they turned a mountain pass, they suddenly saw a dense army in front of them, neatly arranged in front, with bright armor and sharp swords, with a powerful oppressive momentum.
When all the students saw this scene, they were a little frightened. They have never experienced large-scale battles on the battlefield, and when they encounter such a battle, they are naturally timid.
However, when they looked closely, they found that these armies did not have any intention of attacking, and in front of this army, there was a large banner, which was more than ten meters wide and hundreds of meters long.
On the banner, there were several large characters like city gates: "Warmly welcome Miss Lin Duxue, the wife of the prospective lord, to the Lion King Territory." ”
At this time, the teacher of the Academy of Magic heard the commotion outside, and he had already come out of Xiao Yu's carriage, and Lin Duxue naturally followed.
When she saw so many troops in front of her and such a big banner, she was directly stupid.
"Shoot, prepare, release." At this moment, a neat burst of gunfire rang out, which seemed to echo far away in the open field.
When the echo almost dissipated, the second row of guns was released again, and there was another neat sound.
The gun salute, the highest standard of the royal honor guard in ancient times, can only have this gun salute when welcoming those triumphant heroes, or welcoming extremely distinguished guests, or some grand ceremonies.
However, with the submersion of antiquity, the musket has long since disappeared from the stage of history, and the salute has disappeared.
This kind of reception etiquette of the highest standard is actually reproduced today, in order to just welcome a girl.
"Put." Accompanied by another continuous burst of gunfire, this gun salute was fired for a full twelve shots, which was the highest standard of the gun salute.
Generally, only the coronation of new emperors in ancient times, or for those commanders with great merits, can have this treatment.
Now, anyway, there are so many dwarven musketeers here in Xiao Yu, so let them go if it's okay.
"Line up." After the twelve shots were fired, a hundred wolf cavalry rushed over, and almost in the blink of an eye, they were in front of the students.
The students all exclaimed one by one, and they only noticed at this time that there were not only humans in this army, but at the front were a neat thousand orc infantry, next to which were a team of elven hunters and elven archers, and in the middle of the orc troops, there were also a hundred Kodo beasts, and on the far side of the team were neat dwarven musketeers, holding long muskets, facing the sky, with smoke coming from the muzzles.
What is this lineup? How come all the races that disappeared in antiquity appear here? Orcs, elves, and dwarves? And, so much more?
When they were all in a daze, a hundred wolf cavalry rushed over, they didn't know what the wolf cavalry was going to do, they all retreated quickly, with endless panic on their faces.
However, after the wolf cavalry rushed in front of the students, it quickly stopped, and then divided into two columns and stood neatly.
With a loud shout, these wolf cavalry all roared angrily, and then they faced each other in pairs, and their long knives were raised, facing each other in pairs, forming a wide corridor.
"A welcome gift for the nobles?" Only then did everyone realize that these wolf cavalry were going to perform the welcome ceremony of this nobleman. In ancient times, force was admired, so when an extremely distinguished guest arrived, or some grand celebrations, it was necessary to walk from under the sword forest, on the one hand, to show bravery, on the other hand, but also to show the host's appreciation of the guests.
Later, this kind of etiquette also became common, for example, when some royal children got married, the bride and groom had to walk under this knife forest.
Nowadays, this kind of etiquette still exists, and it is held on some important occasions. It's just that the people who generally practice this kind of etiquette are some human cavalry, or infantry.
It's the first time I've seen this kind of wolf cavalry perform this kind of etiquette.
However, the hideousness of the werewolf and the ferocity of the wolf show this ancient etiquette to the fullest.
Lin Duxue was also in a daze, but Xiao Yu had already grabbed her hand and walked forward with her.
At this time, countless maids ran over and sprinkled countless petals on the passage, making it a petal-paved road. This is exactly the etiquette when the children of the royal family get married.
However, even if the children of the royal family are married, there is no such grandeur, the honor guard of the wolf cavalry, the firing salute of the dwarven musketeers, and the greeting of tens of thousands of sergeants.
No matter where it is, it is already considered the most luxurious and even luxurious greeting etiquette.
Moreover, except for Xiao Yu, no one else could come up with such a greeting gift.
At this time, Xiao Yu and Lin Duxue walked hand in hand from under the knife forest passage paved with petals, like a newly crowned king and a newly married queen, with an incomparably noble temperament and boundless glory.
All the students of the Academy of Magic and the Knight Academy watched this scene and were stunned one by one. The girls' eyes were full of envy, and they wished that they could get such a luxurious welcome ceremony.
The boys, one by one, feel a little ashamed of themselves, and even jealous, this Xiao Yu is too playful, right? Unexpectedly made such a luxurious aristocratic greeting ceremony.
This allows these boys to marry the woman they like in the future, where can they compare?
This scene will forever be imprinted in their minds, making anyone feel that such a scene and such a momentum are the real aristocratic etiquette, and such a man is the real person worth marrying.
Those knights who usually thought they were noble were wilting one by one at this time, and if they got married one day in the future, who would be able to make such a show?
And this is just a basic greeting etiquette that Xiao Yu did in order to welcome Lin Duxue.
Lin Duxue almost didn't know how she got through, and her heart was full of shock, emotion, and happiness at this time, and these feelings were intertwined, making her feel that she was the happiest woman in the world.
A man, with all his heart and soul, gave it his all, to meet her. This shows that her place in this man's heart is beyond measure.
In the eyes of envy and jealousy of everyone, Xiao Yu and Lin Duxue walked through this passage, and at the end of the passage, the old housekeeper Xiao Hong, and Xiao Yu's five sisters-in-law were all there to greet them.
When they saw Lin Duxue coming out, they immediately pushed Xiao Yu away, and then pulled Lin Duxue and chattered, either praising Lin Duxue for being beautiful, or letting Lin Duxue stay in the lion king for a few more days.
At the same time, each of these sisters-in-law gave a meeting gift, which immediately filled Lin Duxue's arms.
"Let's take a car, you ride a horse, what are you a big man robbing with us?" The fourth sister-in-law, Xue Sha, raised her chin and pointed Xiao Yu to the side, and then they hugged Lin Duxue and got into Xiao Yu's luxurious carriage.
Xiao Yu pouted for a while, but he thought that the woman's family must have a lot to talk about at this time, so it was better for him to avoid it. So, he mounted a steed, and with a wave of his hand, the army marched.
In front of the orc infantry opened the way, the Kodo beasts beat the drum in front, floating out in the wilderness, extremely imposing, wolf cavalry surrounded the carriage, and other troops followed, marching towards the Lion King City.
And those students of the Magic Academy and the Knight Academy are very redundant, hanging behind the tail of the army, like a group of children who no one wants, lonely and miserable, looking as pitiful as they want.
"Didn't you say that this lion king is in decline? How is it not like that? ”
"Yes, this momentum, even if it is a large principality, is nothing more than that. So many armies, and so many other races? Where did he get it? Only the great sages of the ancients were able to have troops of so many races, right? ”
"yes, if I hadn't started to know the details, I would have thought I was back in antiquity."
"Elves, noble elves, are willing to be his soldiers? Who the hell is this guy? ”
"I've heard that the Ankora Mountains have recently produced elves and orcs, which is why this unscrupulous lord has gotten so much. We must not go back empty-handed this time, and we must also get some elves and orcs as guards, that is the real noble magician. ”
"That's right, in this era, the subordinates of human knights are really too boring, and the magicians with a large group of orcs and elves guarding them are the real high-level magicians."
The students of the magic academy were talking one by one, their eyes were red.
