Chapter 119: The King Is Absent
The procession of Ye Zi and the others was much calmer, everyone carried a much more gorgeous spar leather lantern than the civilian area, dressed in festive costumes, and slowly advanced according to the pre-arranged route under the guidance of the Praetorian Guard soldiers.
The aristocrats demanded that their family members show enough decency in front of numerous eyes. The civilians who came here were cautious, for fear that they would be constantly ridiculed by the nobles for their actions. Therefore, the march of the procession is full of solemn sense of ceremony.
Although there are singing voices around, the songs sung are traditional New Year's carols, melodious but very calm, giving people the feeling of waiting quietly for the New Year to arrive in front of the fire.
The procession marched along the banks of the river towards the royal palace at the first stop.
More than thirty people from the office gathered together, and the team was even larger than the average aristocratic family.
Because everyone didn't have any dresses of this era, not only official mages and priests like Liu Pengfei, Xiao Dui, and Elaina wore magic robes, but even magic apprentices like Tang Feng and Li Tianrui also wore real magic robes. In this way, there were seven or eight people in the procession wearing robes, and they looked like they were immense.
It was the first time for people to participate in such an event, and it was very new at first. But after walking for a while, it was a little boring. At this time, the cheerful singing began to sound in the civilian area, and people could be seen dancing in circles in the distance.
"Hey, how can I think the parade on the other side is a little more interesting?" Ye Zi said.
"It's just, suffocated. What kind of stuff is singing crookedly, it's not hilarious at all. Li Tianrui agreed loudly. His voice caught the attention of the people around him, but those people didn't dare to say anything at most.
"I should go over there. Caterina regretted, "It looks so messy there, Brother Xiao doesn't know if there will be a problem." ”
Seeing her entangled expression, Elaina knew that she was starting to think crankily again, so she simply said: "Even people like me, who are inseparable from Luo Ling, have specially set aside space for them to get along for a while, what position do you have to squeeze over?"
"I ...... You can keep them out of those who don't have long eyes. Caterina said.
"It's fake. You don't even believe yourself. Xiao Du said, "Xiao Chen, that guy is very bad, I really don't know what you people like about him." ”
"Who's you!" Caterina retorted, "but you, with such a strange name, I don't know what you have in mind." ”
"It's fun. I just love to see him look constipated every time he sees my name, hahaha. I don't have any feelings for Xiao Chen, to be exact, I haven't had such complicated emotions as love at all, but you, who doesn't know your ......*"
"Miss Xiao Dui!" Liu Pengfei saw that these women were about to argue endlessly, and quickly blocked Xiao Dui's words, "I heard that Mao Kai saw that you were an Iron Man-like character, and you were ...... at that time Is that the same way you speak, your tone of voice?"
"Of course not, you can understand me as a program with many interactive interfaces, and each different person entering the "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" will be matched with a unique guide, and the image and style you see are different. But when I chose this body, I solidified one of the personalities that best matched the conditions of this body on this body, and I became the person I am now.
In other words, you can understand that I have many personalities, but in the end, only Xiao Du became a real person, the real me, and the other personalities were abandoned as a burden when I took my body, and they no longer exist. So, I'm a real girl now inside and out, mentally and physically. If you don't believe me, you'll know if you fall in love with me once. ”
"You really look up to me, and I'm flattered. Liu Pengfei said with a smile: "You know the situation on our side so well, you must know that we pay attention to such a thing as fate." I don't have any prejudice against Miss Xiao Du, and if fate comes, I will be glad to do so. ”
As they spoke, the procession had come to the square on the wall of the kingdom. Today's royal palace is very different from the old days, with various lighting crystals and magic circles placed on and above the walls of the castle, illuminating the walls in a colorful way, much like the lights of another building's exterior wall.
Most people could only enjoy this view from the outside of the wall, but Ye Zi had Javier's invitation, so the group was allowed to enter the inner courtyard of the palace, where they could see the castle beautifully lit up from a close distance, and they could also see the royal family members up close.
"It's so beautiful!" Caterina, Elaine, Roger, and the others were shocked by the castle that radiated a beautiful glow in the night. But the people from Earth didn't feel much. In their city, it's normal for buildings to emit various light effects at night.
"Hey, hey, it's rare and weird. Li Tianrui wanted to snicker when he saw the shocked looks of those locals, but he didn't expect to be kicked by Ye Zi.
On a terrace on the third floor of the palace, the queen and her children, surrounded by ministers and guards, appeared in front of everyone. The queen, wearing a crown and a fine garment, cast a sound amplification spell of her own and said:
"Today is the last day of the old year, and you are welcome to the palace for this year's New Year's procession, where His Majesty was supposed to give a speech, but it is known that he broke his leg in the hunting a few days, so this year I will congratulate him on the New Year's ......"
Now most of the nobles below knew the news of the king's injury, and no one was surprised to see that the king did not appear, but everyone was applauding the queen's speech.
Naturally, everyone in the office didn't care about the king, Li Tianrui said: "This king is blessed, the queen and the princess are both great beauties." Brothers, who soaked the princess, can it make everyone struggle less for a few years, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to the school?"
A few boys from Earth laughed.
Roger also said: "This is with our Majesty, Your Majesty once publicly proposed to marry Princess Laura." Personally, I think it's a very good idea and it would be very helpful for peace. But the princess's response dispelled him. ”
"Why?" asked Li Tianrui.
"The princess said that she would not marry an old man in his twenties. ”
"Haha, it looks like you're out of fun. Ye Zile said.
"It's different, was that a few years ago?" asked Liu Pengfei.
Roger nodded: "That's right, the princess was only ten years old at that time. ”
......
After the speech, the official light show began, and the lights and shadows on the castle changed under the control of various magic circles and the music played by the band. This time, even the people from Earth were fascinated by the scene. For a while, we will be in the blue ocean, watching the white sailboats and the giant beasts of the waves, and the green forest for a while, watching the lovely elves dancing among the flowers, and the yellow desert for a while, and watching the camel caravans from afar bring wealth. Different lights and shadows tell different stories, and in just ten minutes, everyone seems to have traveled around the world.
"This show is a match for the Tower of David light show. Liu Pengfei said.
Li Tianrui sighed: "I take back what I just said, things in the magic world are still very remarkable sometimes. ”
