Chapter 54: The Scarlet Wedding (Part 1)
Early in the morning, Groot sat on the deck, changed into a fisherman's clothes, lowered the brim of his hat, and watched the passing merchant ships
The schools of fish were talking about a fleet of huge merchant ships, saying they were a few points bigger than the largest humpback whale
Who could it be?]
A fish asked
Did it come from the bones of a big fish, or did it come from a reef by the sea?]
The fish replied
The hull of the ship is red, so it must have come from the sea.
Groot heard their conversation, albeit fragmentary, but already had the answer in his heart
Who the hell is it?
At this time, the fish bites the hook and pulls the line fiercely, desperately trying to break free from the hook
Groot, however, loosened the rope slightly, and didn't rush to pull it up, he said
Eat, eat, eat more]
But after a while, just when the guy was a little more relaxed, Groot suddenly lifted the rod, and an eight-pound gold-edged loach jumped up from the sea, and Groot grabbed the heavy guy and ate it raw
It tastes good, it's even better to have a lemon]
Groot said
Millie leaned out of the cabin at this time, and she was wearing a light blue dress, looking refreshing and lovely
Don't eat it raw]
Millie grumbled with concern, taking the raw fish from Groot's hand and feeding him a bite of grilled fish
How are they]
Groot asked
Millie sat down beside him and said
It's okay, I just don't talk much]
Groot said slowly
Let's hope they get better.]
He picked up the rod in his hand, skewered the bait, and threw it out again
Millie took a bite of the fish in her hand, chewed and swallowed, and asked Groot
Do you remember what you said to me before?
Groot asked
Which sentence?]
Millie slapped her, but Groot grabbed her wrist
He said, putting his arm around Millie
I remember]
Millie asked, pouting
I don't believe it, unless you say it yourself.]
Groot said
I promise you that I will only be good to you alone]
Millie chuckled
That's pretty much it.]
At this time, a huge group of merchant ships leaned out of the huge reef, led by a giant sailing ship with a height of 100 meters and a width of tens of meters
The surrounding fishing boats hurriedly got out of the way, but after a while, one after another, a total of six large sailing boats came over
Get out of the way]
The sailor above said to the fishing boat in front
Get out of the way, I'm going to bump into it]
Only then did Groot slowly pull up the sails and turn the ship
At this time, the nobles on the ship scolded quietly
It's stupid, I don't know how to get out of the way when I see such a big ship]
However, it seemed that something had pulled the nobleman by him, and he fell out of the ship and into the water with a thud
Come and save someone, someone has fallen into the water]
As if he hadn't heard, Groot lowered the brim of his hat and sailed away
How did these guys get here]
He looked at the fleet
It's still such a big battle, is there something important]
He then rowed the boat, turned back, and scooped up the drow
What's the matter? You've come all the way to swim?]
Groot quipped
Pull me up quickly, I won't... Burst.. I can't swim.
The man fluttered
However, Groot still had no intention of pulling him up, and he asked slowly
You have gone to great lengths to scare my fish away, what are you doing?"
The man took a few more sips of seawater and said with a choking face
The prince came to get married, don't you know such a big thing]
He was dragged up by Groot
Is it]
Groot helped him wring out the water on his body, and said
Is it the young one?
The man took off his hat, handed it to Groot, and smiled
How is it possible, it must be the eldest prince]
The man rejected Groot's return hat
This feather is splashed with water, give it to you, just as my thanks]
Gruter nodded, watching him come up to pick him up from his lifeboat
What's your name?]
The man asked
Groot hesitated for a second and said
Payne.. My name is Payne]
The man nodded, waving his hand and shouting
I'll remember you, thank you for being kind people]
However, he immediately lowered his head and smiled at the person next to him
That's a silly name, haha]
Groot looked at the five cat people in front of him, gradually moved away, and muttered
This group of guys really hasn't changed at all, they talk about people when they see people, and they talk nonsense when they see them.
The fleet departed from him, and Groot surveyed the cargo and the crowd inside, but felt more and more that something was wrong
Groot muttered to himself as he looked at the ripples that dissipated from the water
Why are so many people in the cabin, impossible]
He watched the merchant ship leave
More than fifty master-level guards, heh, it's lively now]
It was almost noon, and the fog on the sea had long since dissipated, and the bright sunlight at this moment almost made him unable to open his eyes, and he began to return home
He said to Millie
Let's go back]
Millie's eyes widened and she said
What's the matter, I can still withstand this little setback]
She said to Groot
You want to drive me away, there is no door]
He laughed as he spoke
Wherever you go, something will happen there.]
Groot, however, is very serious
Millie, listen to me, something big is going to happen here, hurry up and get them out of here]
Millie seemed to sense Groot's serious expression,
Oh well]
Groot nodded
Let's go now]
As he spoke, he stepped out of the cabin
On the other side, the grand welcome ceremony was in full swing, and no one would pay attention to how many boats or people came down from the sea at this time
Everyone was also stunned by the honor guard of the Duchy of Fiche, and it was the first time for everyone to see such a big pomp
Hundreds of honor guards disembarked first, marching in unison
Finally, the Great Prince was surrounded by the crowd, and he walked forward, holding the silver scepter in his hand, and beckoned to everyone
Magic salutes rise from both sides and spread out in the air, transforming into all sorts of animals, dragon elephants, dragon eagles, humpback whales, bobcats
The king came with his escort and nodded to the great prince, who was surrounded by countless treasures, chests and chests of gold and precious stones
Onlookers screamed, all crazy about the jewels and the riches
The king said to the eldest prince
We're going to be in-laws soon, so why bring so many gifts]
The eldest prince smiled his trademark smile and said modestly
Why should the king be polite, this is only a part, and the rest is estimated to be moved overnight, we can't stand here and watch all night]
The king grinned
Sure enough, the wealth of the Fei Che Empire is countless, the eldest prince, you are also a hero among people, and my daughter will need you to bother in the future]
The eldest prince smiled
Where, I will treat her with respect, and I will treat her well, the king must rest assured]
The king nodded
Then I can rest assured, my little daughter has always been a knot in my heart, and now I will hand her over to you, and I will forget one of my thoughts]
He led the way
You might want to have a few more drinks tonight, don't you mind]
The eldest prince smiled paradoxically, did not answer, and instead said a few words to the attendant beside him
