Stannis knew that the wedding was inevitable, and all he could do now was make sure he survived the chaos and let everyone survive as much as possible.

As the celebrant of this wedding, although he was very reluctant, he was still going to the chapel that Robert mentioned to undertake the wedding to survey the venue in advance, after all, it was too close to Garcia's territory, and it was intertwined. If someone is ambushed in advance over there, then they will be wiped out.

Stannis took Robert on his way, and in order to keep the trip secret, they did not tell anyone, but set off lightly.

The two traverse the territory of the Dill family in the center, and the commoners have migrated back after hearing that the last wedding did not take place, and Stannis can't wait to know how they will look when they learn that their lord is preparing to marry in secret.

After crossing the Bucks' house, they continued to drive towards one target, this time to their father-in-law Froude's territory, but Stannis did not bother to visit his fiancée and father-in-law, they only glanced at Baili City from a distance and crossed under it.

They finally reach their destination, a borderland between Garcia and Flod, known on the map as the Cold Burial Valley.

"How can this be called the Cold Burial Valley? Stannis said shivering on the grassland, and I don't know why when I entered this valley surrounded by raised mountains, I felt that the temperature had plummeted a lot, and it was completely different from the spring flowers outside the valley, and it was cold and silent, as if the god of spring had forgotten about it.

Robert sniffed, he was also frozen, "So this is called the Cold Burial Valley! It is said that this was once an inland lake standing on the ground, originally called the Heavenly Lake, but during the War of the Gods, the lake was evaporated by the wrath of the heavens, so it was renamed the Heavenly Earth, and then it became what it is now. ”

"It's really high to have something to do with the Age of Mythology, but it doesn't have to be so cold!" Stannis rubbed his hand against his body to keep warm, "By the way, what do you mean this is Borderland? No one is coveted for such a large piece of territory!"

Although it was a valley, it was extremely large, and the soil looked good, and the surface was covered with moss, and if his territory was adjacent to it, he would not hesitate to swallow it up.

"So this is also called the land of heaven! Not only do you think this is a good place, as long as everyone knows that this place is good, so there are many lords in history who have fought for the ownership of this land, and in the last hundred years alone, there have been at least more than 500 wars of more than 500,000 people, and the dead buried here are countless, this used to be the first scenic spot in Tanis, but because too many dead people's resentful spirits wandered here, the sun was not seen all year round, and finally it became this ghost. ”

Robert continued: "In order to prevent more people from dying here, twenty years ago the former Duke invited all the lords to sign a clause declaring this place neutral and renamed it the Cold Burial Valley, and no one could claim to rule here, so everyone finally gave up the fight for this place, and tacitly did not allow the presence of troops here. ”

"Then since there is no lord rule here, it means that there is no need to pay taxes, but why don't I see a single peasant here?"

Robert didn't speak, just drew his sword and answered Stannis's question with practical actions. He directly used his sword to pick open the thick moss, revealing the white bones hidden underneath from within.

It turns out that all the dead people buried under this place are in the past, no wonder this is called a cold burial ground, this is simply a huge open-air morgue!

At least five or more dead people were buried under every inch of land here, making the valley uncultivable for a long time, which may be the reason why most lords abandoned the place.

Looking at this terrible scene, Stannis only felt a chill behind his back, is it really possible to get married on a wasteland of bones?

"Alright, Boss, don't waste any more time, let's go to the priest, I'm afraid it'll be too late!" Robert said as he rolled over his horse and urged.

"It's too late, what does that mean!" Stannis was confused.

An hour later, he knew why his younger brother said this.

What appeared in front of him now was a church, but judging by its crumbling state fluttering in the wind, it looked like the church of an antique was numbered.

Stannis even suspected that if there was a moderate to heavy rain tonight, the church would be completely wiped out of the world.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, the priest of the church came out of it, and he was exactly what Robert had described, a thorough drunkard, with unkempt hair, a dull stare, and unwiped black feathers at the corners of his mouth, and if he hadn't been wearing a black robe, Stannis would have wanted to turn around and leave.

"Reverend Chucknoeh, I'm here again!" Robert didn't mind the other person's image, and greeted him cheerfully.

But the priest just raised his drooping eyelids and held out his hand to Robert, "Shall we bring the wine we said before?"

Robert took out two bottles of liqueur and threw them to him, "No, it's just a deposit, and the rest will be paid after you officiate the wedding." ”

The priest didn't seem to listen to him anymore, but lifted the lid and filled half a bottle of wine eagerly, and then sighed comfortably.

By this time, Stannis had already circled the ruined church, which was located in the middle of the Valley of the Cold Burial, and from here there was a large plain as far as the eye could see, and there was no place to hide, at least in terms of openness, it was a good place to detect if the enemy came.

Stannis turned back and found that the priest named Chuckno had drunk all the two bottles they had brought, and was content to burp there.

The lord was very dissatisfied with the other party's appearance, but according to the current situation, only a drunkard or a madman dared to witness the marriage of the couple, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only let this guy be a witness, "How long does it take to hold a quick wedding?"

Chuckno patted his head and slowed down for a while before he said, "It will take ten or fifteen minutes, you know that my business here has not been good lately, and I have almost forgotten the wedding greetings." ”

Even if this kind of sacred religious ceremony is called business, it seems that the pastor is not so religious, "Well, even if you say that it takes 15 minutes to say a blessing, another 5 minutes to arrange seats, and another 10 minutes to bless the newlyweds, this wedding will be completed in half an hour!"

"Boss, this is too fast, we still have dinner, pastor, the wedding package you told me last time didn't include dinner?"

Chanok burped again and said, "Add another case of wine to have a wedding dinner, and the main course is crow soup." ”

Stannis waved his hand, just thinking that the crows had to survive was enough to make him sick to his stomach, and he grumbled loudly as he walked back, "I don't know how that priest could get drunk during the day!
