Chapter 122: The Eve of the Wedding
August 30, 780 in the continental calendar.
Seeing her friend leave in the car, the eldest princess of Fisna frowned slightly.
"It's just a wedding, is it necessary to come to me and let me come forward to greet the city defense, the janissaries, and the heads of the various defenses?" she said to herself with some confusion, "What are Jenny and Pratt going to do? Do you still plan to make a convoy more than ten miles long, a guard of honor of tens of thousands, and a large number of magicians casting spells to create colorful lights or something, just like the king's wedding...... That's outrageous, isn't it?"
Pratt and his friends have both power and money, and she knows that. For example, the night before, his friends ate from evening to night at a high-end restaurant in Wangdu, and ate 10,000 gold coins in one go.
10,000 gold coins is actually not a lot, after all, this is a large banquet, there are more than 160 people attending the banquet, many of them are pot-bellied men - according to the hotel waiter, the most edible is a small and cute black-haired girl, she has eaten an estimated 1,200 catties of things.
Of course, Fisna didn't believe it. How could she eat it? The man must have been so busy and dazed that he had counted all the things that several similar-looking people had eaten.
But the total amount of ingredients consumed is clear, meat, poultry eggs, aquatic products, vegetables, ...... These are actually small heads, the real big heads are spices, and the spices eaten in this big meal are enough to make many aristocratic families with considerable status tighten their belts for a year or even a few years.
Being able to come up with such a large sum of money for a meal, and still be able to eat so much, is amazing enough from the perspective of both financial and military strength that Fisna has to look up to Pret's friends.
Ordinary people may only see how rich this group of people are, but what she sees is the freedom and uninhibition of this group of people.
Rich people abound, and it is not impossible to pay such a huge sum of money, but such people will definitely choose some more private places and eat and drink without being noticed. For example, the great nobles of the royal capital, around the New Year, would gather on the lake near the royal capital and connect dozens of boats into temporary water platforms, where they would enjoy a luxurious and unbridled life. In just a few days, tens of thousands of gold coins may be spent.
This is the normal way for the rich and powerful to enjoy it.
But Pret's friends are different, they have money and ability, but they choose to eat like ordinary adventurers, just find a high-end restaurant. What does this mean? It shows that they don't care about identity or face at all.
People with such a mentality are the most free. For the strong, if even the problem of face can't restrain him, then he is almost unrestrained - no one will have the nerve to restrain the strong with interests, and those who will do this are already dead, and most of them die miserably.
To restrain the strong, the best means is affection, and family ties are the most suitable. In the case of Trela himself, the withdrawn old ancestor was definitely a cold-blooded and ruthless person, even if tens of thousands of people died in front of him, he would not blink an eye. But even he attaches great importance to the continuation of his family's bloodline.
On the Thracian side, the Ice Sword Saint, known as the strongest in the world, was moved by the friendship of the first Thracian king who sacrificed his life to save him, so he willingly served as the protector of the Thracian king as a legendary powerhouse.
However, it is very difficult to tie people with feelings. It takes a long time to prepare, and it takes luck. These friends of Pratt came suddenly, and it is estimated that after the wedding, they will leave as quietly as they came. A few days is not enough time to create an emotional bond that binds them.
So in this case, rulers like Fisna choose to use means such as face to restrain them - as long as they care about their identity and face, they will be more or less constrained. This is precisely the most common means to prevent the powerful from shaking their rule.
But in the face of a group of strong people who don't care about face, things are not easy to do......
Fisna thought for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, and left her palace to go to the various defense mansions in the city.
Whether it was out of friendship with Jenny, or out of necessity to befriend Pret's friends, she should have done it well.
Even if she really didn't think about this, just from a security point of view, she would have to make this trip - if those people tossed too much tomorrow and clashed with the city guards or the Praetorian Guard, or with all the people in the city, then the happy event would become a bad thing!
Although all of Pret's friends were unknown, she didn't dare to underestimate them.
The person in charge of the extraordinarily large dinner was Panda, the famous dragon slayer, who, according to the hotel owner and waiter, did not feel like a leader in the group. In general, they appear to be relatively equal to each other, and there is no obvious status of high or low.
If you can't see the level of status, it may mean that the strength is almost the same. In other words, among the more than 160 people, there must be many of them whose strength is similar to Panda's, and it is even possible that most of them have reached or at least approached Panda's strength.
Thinking that more than one hundred and sixty "dragon slayers" would gather tomorrow, Fisna couldn't help but worry.
Such a group of people gathered, if they clash with others, I'm afraid that even a legendary powerhouse will have to avoid the edge for a while......
So this afternoon, she worked tirelessly to go through all the departments and organizations that had security tasks in Trella City, or cared about security issues, and told them one by one not to make a fuss tomorrow, not to be surprised by what they saw, and not to touch the mold of other people's weddings.
Of course, you can't say that, but that's what it means. She also specially emphasized to a few unruly thorns that she knew that she would be reasonable and emotional, so as to ensure that these people would not make trouble tomorrow.
For the sake of their own lives, they must not make trouble!
If they make trouble, they will face a group of lawless people who even the Thracian prime minister has killed, and even the dignified king dares to assassinate.
When the time comes, the knife will be cut in two, and people will leave, who can have any way?
This afternoon, she spent a lot of foaming and energy, and when things were done in the evening, she felt a little tired and lying down.
Looking at the evening sunset, the eldest princess of Thrace let out a long breath and smiled.
"Jenny, everything I can help you has already helped. Whether your wedding goes smoothly or not depends on fate!"
What she didn't know was that in another palace in the royal palace, someone was already arranging to make trouble for the wedding at the moment.
"Take advantage of this opportunity to test the bottom of Pret's group!" said the Prince of Zion to his staff, "send the dead to do it, and die on the spot, leaving no clues." ”
"Yes!"
