Chapter 397: The Wedding (2)
In the traditional concept, it is a great honor for an ordinary person's wedding to be witnessed and blessed by the local nobles, and the great lord will ask the king to witness it, and the king will ask the emperor to witness it. Historically, emperors would also invite their own gods to bless their gods at weddings, and in general, it is very difficult to find a host and witnesses.
But this does not apply to Caesar, first of all, he is the supreme monarch of the Northlands, like the elven king Garcia Yufeng and the ruler of the country, he does not have the same status as Caesar, let alone the qualification to be a witness to the wedding of the Black Dragon Emperor.
And the gods of faith, forget it, everyone knows that the Black Dragon Emperor and Tiamat are incompatible, Caesar has never expressed his support for any god in public, and under the rule of the Empire, although faith is not excluded, it has never been supported, which has led to the ubiquitous church organizations in Eladia that are very rare in the Northland - this is one of the reasons why the Black Wing Empire has gained a lot of hostility.
In this case, the only witnesses one can think of are the biological father or mother of Emperor Caesar.
But in reality, even Caesar himself did not know who his father was, and his titular mother, Nesartria, had disappeared like a bento since she was driven out of the north by the green dragon, and perhaps died.
This question arouses great curiosity and makes people look forward to it with anticipation.
At this moment, a pair of female eyes suddenly appeared in the sky above Garanord, surrounded by seven shining silver stars, and the silver glow falling from the sky made people notice this, and when they looked up at the deep sky, they found that the light of the gods had enveloped the earth.
The goddess Suren projected her figure in Eladia, stepping on the rippling moonlight.
This deity is older than all the gods Caesar has met so far, she is the original deity of the beginning of the astral plane, she should be the same age as the nine-faced dragon god Io, and has unparalleled power in the primordial beginning, but because she has been locked on her sister Shar and has been fighting a civil war with her old enemy for millions of years, the power of this ancient goddess has repeatedly fallen. Now, in terms of strength and divine power, she is not even as powerful as Tiamat and Bahamut.
Suren's priesthood is Moon, Tolerance and Protection, a neutral and good god who has been aware of the existence of the Black Dragon for a long time, even before Tiamat and Bahamut.
In the chanting and prayer of the choir of the Elven Forest, Suren stepped on the grounds of the royal garden with both feet, and the inhabitants of Garanord marveled at the appearance of the miracle, and the projection of the goddess of the moon slowly came to Caesar and Luna, and people had a vague suspicion that this ancient and beautiful goddess might be the blessing and witness of the wedding.
Gods, not just in Elradia, are called gods, their existence breaks through the boundaries of mortal thinking and imagination, these incomprehensible beings are the makers and overseers of the rules of the endless realm, the influence of the gods is far-reaching, the vision is all over the vast starry sky, perhaps Eladia is just an inconspicuous small continent in their eyes - the meaning of this passage is that in the long history of Eladia, no god has ever been revealed because of the wedding of the local natives.
This is a romantic epic worthy of countless poets to sing about their creations and countless singers to express their voices, and from now on, the "wedding of the century" promoted by the Black Wing Empire lives up to its name.
The moon god restrained her divine radiance, and even the ubiquitous divine power was deliberately suppressed, and she stopped in front of Caesar, and could not find any ornaments on her body except for a plain long dress, but she was still radiant and dazzling.
"Hail to you, Goddess of the Moon." Caesar bowed slightly, as a gesture of friendship.
The arrival of the moon god made the people of the Elven Forest kneel down one after another, and the little guy also obediently reached out and pulled up the skirt, wanting to pay homage to the gods according to the tradition of the Elven Forest, but Caesar grabbed and stopped him from behind.
Today, at least for now, Luna is the main character, and God can't do it.
"Hello, Caesar." Su Lun knew the movements behind the black dragon, smiled slightly and didn't care, and after nodding to him, he nodded to Luna: "Hello, Luna." ”
The advent of the moon god projection, of course, is not to favor Caesar and give special treatment, no matter how strong the allomorphic black dragon is, in the final analysis, it is limited to the main material realm of Eladia, and cannot have a substantial threat and help to the gods. Of course, her arrival was not due to the prayer of the Elven Forest, although Garcia had the physique and piety to bestow divine favors, but after all, he was only one of the thousands of devout believers in Suren and could not influence her decision.
The moon god has other plans.
Suren is a neutral and kind deity, yes, but as long as he is a god, he will have an irrepressible desire to ingest faith, which is the source of their power. Although the Black Wing Empire does not reject faith, because of the royal court's policies, a large number of unbelievers and shallow believers were born here, which is a wealth coveted by the gods, and if it can lead these people to the path of the moon, it will be a great gain for the moon god.
The Blackwing Empire is wary of the gods, and in normal times, their king would never allow the gods to perform miracles in the Empire, and this wedding was a rare opportunity, so after receiving the request from the Elven Forest, Suren did not hesitate to agree and come as promised, in order to spread influence and gain more faith in the Blackwing Empire.
Caesar was able to guess what the moon god was thinking, but his tolerance for neutral gods was relatively high, and it was not unprofitable for the Blackwing Empire. The moon god's public blessing in the spotlight is bound to be hyped up with a variety of different meanings that Caesar wanted. The continental situation is becoming increasingly tense, the Cold War has begun, and the Black Wing Empire needs to continue to build momentum in order to gain the upper hand in the early public opinion war.
At the same time, it's Luna's little wish – that's all that matters.
The rest of the day begins in what is known as the process of Caesar and Luna's pledge to spend the rest of their lives together, whether poor or rich, strong or weak, and never break their vows, after which the goddess Surren sends her sincere blessing with the "Emblem of the Moon" and then withdraws from Garlanord.
The departure of the gods did not diminish the celebratory atmosphere of the Garanord, for the gods were "distant" and "unattainable" after all, so the shadow of the goddess of the moon disappeared, the solemn atmosphere was quickly changed, and the people erupted in even greater cheers - at the end of the wedding process, His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen boarded the open-air carriage and paraded around the city, where everyone had the opportunity to see the Emperor and Queen up close.
The procession around the city lasted for three hours and ended at the Garanord Central Mage Tower, where the Black Dragon Emperor and Queen stepped out of the carriage and waved to the crowd again.
It stands to reason that the wedding is almost over, but who would have thought that Caesar would suddenly tear apart the disguise and return to its original form after kissing Luna on the cheek, and the fifty-meter giant creature reappeared, with hideous and sharp scales and claws that made people panic.
Caesar stretched out his claws, grabbed Luna's body, and flew up to the majestic mage tower with her wings flapped at the top, and the wings of the weeping clouds fell from both sides of the spire, and the black dragon let out a low roar as he looked down with his slit eyes.
