Chapter 140: The Wedding (Part II)
A day passed, but as the first rays of the morning sun shone into the streets and alleys of the nascent city of Scarlet City, all the citizens who rose up noticed the difference in the city to a greater or lesser extent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The first is that the patrol force of the city has been doubled compared to usual......
The troops that had been sent outside seemed to have all been summoned back this morning, and the unprepared citizens saw their usual rare dragon knights walking back and forth in the streets, and even the mages and druids who were usually high-ranking seemed to have come to the streets today, using their spells to do something......
There is also my own city, which seems to be more beautiful than usual.
The street lamps on the side of the road are decorated with red ribbons to symbolize festivity, the main road leading from the gate to the Lord's Mansion is paved with colorful gemstones, and the administrative district where the Lord's Mansion is located is decorated with magical magic by the druids who like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, forming a sea of flowers.
At this time, even the dull people knew that something big was about to happen in the Scarlet City, and it was obviously different from the last time when the troops were used to go out on the expedition, and this time it was obviously a happy event worthy of everyone's celebration.
Could it be that your lord is getting married?
I don't know who spread the gossip first, but this news quickly spread through people's exchanges, and in less than a morning, even with Frost Flame City, almost the entire Starry Night Leader knew about it.
The lords of the Starry Night Collar were instantly excited......
The reason for him is that Acoste is definitely a qualified or even excellent lord in the eyes of most of them.
Before Acoste obtained the territorial development certificate from the Temple of Tyr, no one could have imagined the prosperity of the Starry Night Territory now, and those people who were attracted by the half-elf Sword Saint at the beginning were completely because of the glittering gold coins in the other party's hand, rather than really believing the empty check in the other party's mouth......
But as a result, they originally thought that they would live very poorly, but in fact, there was not a single beggar in the four towns of the Starry Night Leader, originally they thought that they would not have enough to eat, but in fact they now have fish and meat at almost every meal, and the Starry Night Leader recently issued an order prohibiting the reproduction of black bread made from sawdust, which made the residents' food consumption index of the Starry Night Leader suddenly increased by two or three grades, originally they thought that it was unsafe to live in the newly opened territory, but in fact, the tall and heavy city walls, elite soldiers, knights, dragons, mages and dragons soaring in the sky, even if you look at the entire West Hartland region, there is no force that can compare to this configuration, and if you take another 10,000 steps back, all species that are dangerous in the sphere of influence of the Starry Night Territory have long been expelled or exterminated, and at this time, even unarmed farmers dare to spend the night in their farmland without defense.
Look at their neighbor Baldur's Gate, the skinning tragedy continues day after day, but Acoste's territory is calm, a form of harmony and prosperity, there are already many wealthy merchants or powerful officials who live in Baldur's Gate who want to move their families to Scarlet City or Frost City, the management of Baldur's Gate, the Duke's Council, and some people have even proposed to take half of Baldur's Gate as a bargaining chip to Acoste's management, so as to exchange for the other party's proposal to send troops to protect Baldur's Gate, It's a pity that no matter how much the other party is willing to pay, these people's wishes are always just extravagant hopes......
In this case, how much the lords of the Starry Night Territory would love their lord, and when they heard the gossip that Acoste was about to get married, all the citizens were in high spirits......
They spontaneously formed a procession to crowd to the location of the city lord's mansion, loudly sending blessings with their own characteristics in their own way, and several major temples in the city also said today that they would open a series of activities for free alms, to see a doctor for the sick or to pray for the blessings of the gods for others.
The Temple of Justice knew about this for a long time, but although they sent a set of extraordinary armor blessed by the God of Justice as a reward, and asked Bishop Boggs, who was familiar with several people who were familiar with the Half-Elf Sword Saint, to come and cheer for it, Archbishop Chasim, the most influential area of the Temple of Tyre in West Hartland region, did not come as promised.
Acoste wasn't very angry about this, he didn't need to report back to know that the only legendary professional in the Temple of Tyre was being overwhelmed by the Sons of Slaughter at the moment, and in this case, of course, he didn't have the time to come and share the joy.
On the other hand, as the second largest temple power of the Starry Night Lord, the Temple of Fortune did not have so many estimates, as soon as the news reached their ears, this group of temples composed of 90% nobles and merchants sent a large number of precious items as gifts as soon as possible, and at the same time, they didn't know where they learned the news of Mavi's pregnancy, and actually sent their regional archbishop to give the watcher a safe birth, this level of expression still surprised Acoste......
Although the other small temples were not as "out of line" as the Temple of Fortune did, they all gave their own gifts to a greater or lesser extent, taking this opportunity to show their respect and kindness to Acoste.
Of course, if you are a discerning person, you can see the influence and status of the half-elf in the West Hartland region at this moment......
The temple has always been a transcendent existence, not to mention the wedding of a small lord, even if it is a king's wedding banquet, the gods with powerful divine power will generally not give you much face, of course, if you take the initiative to invite each other, they will still come to cheer, but on the contrary, if they want to take the lead in setting an example, then you are dreaming.
Even if the gods are not visible now, and the divine power is a little sidelined, those priests will still have a high-spirited and superior mentality, because after all, this is a tradition that has been unfamiliar for thousands of years, and that pride cannot be changed in a while.
But on Acoste's side, everything has changed...... (To be continued.) )
