Chapter 24: Marriage Change (3)

The gates finally opened, and as soon as the drawbridge was lowered, Catherine spotted her mother in the crowd. She jumped off her horse, let the tears run and threw herself into her mother's arms.

The crowd applauded.

"Don't cry, child, let Mother take a good look at you!" Laurel's hand trembled and stroked Catherine's cheek, and she looked at her distressedly, her eyes filled with love.

"Mother, your hair is gray......" Catherine choked as she looked at her with teary eyes.

"Time is not forgiving...... Catherine, introduce me to the hero standing beside you!" Laurel looked at Gu Shiyu behind Catherine with a smile and said, "Is he the Chosen One that everyone is widely talking about?"

"Yes!" Catherine wiped away her tears and a bright smile bloomed on her face: "His name is Gu Shiyu......"

"I know him! In the Isle of Light, he fought for Erathia and brought us great honor! Moreover, he rejected King Kendall's suggestion that he did not marry Princess Saiya and renounced the throne for your sake...... Now everyone in all of Erathia knows about him!"

Gu Shiyu's heart was pounding. He stepped forward and knelt down on one leg, leaned over and said, "Meet Her Majesty the Queen Regent!"

"Raise your head too, let me take a good look at how handsome and brave the idol of all the children of Erathia is!"

Looking at Laurel's loving gaze, Gu Shiyu's eyes moistened. It was a familiar look to him, a mother's expression peculiar to looking at her beloved child. He even immediately wanted to hug her and call her mother.

"Catherine, you have a good eye!" said Laurel, nodding approvingly at the pair. She happily took Catherine in one hand and Gu Shiyu in the other, and began to walk towards the city.

Gu Shiyu has been holding the gemstone ring in his palm. He began to blame himself, why was he so stupid, why didn't he present this gift to Catherine's mother in the first place? Now that they have met, can it still be called a greeting gift? Can the greeting gift be made up?

Residents of Standwick stood on both sides of the road to welcome them.

"Residents of Standwick, you know this lady, her name is Catherine, King Guffinghardt and my daughter! She has brought back Erathia's Sword of Inheritance from the Lost Belt!" Laurel raised their hands and said proudly to the people, "And this is the world's famous Chosen One, Gu Shiyu! It is he who brought great honor to Erathia! It is he who bravely challenged the authority of King Kendall!"

The crowd applauded enthusiastically, mixed with deafening cheers.

The square in Standwick was already sprinkled with flower petals, and the horn of triumph accompanied the crowd to the red carpet.

Immediately behind was the majestic march of the army into the city. Eldeed, Cuthbert, Adela and others also found their loved ones in the welcoming crowd, and countless people hugged each other and wept about the pain of separation.

Laurel held Catherine and Gu Shiyu's hands tightly until she walked up the steps leading to the palace.

On the side of the stairs stood a man and a woman in despair. Laurel introduced: "This is Earl Alexander, the son-in-law of King Kendall, and this is his wife. ”

"Are you Helena?" Catherine immediately recognized her cousin. She immediately took her hand and said happily, "When I left Standwick, you were a little girl......

"Sister Catherine, welcome!" Helena also held her hand tightly. Gu Shiyu can almost conclude that this Helena is definitely Princess Saiya's own sister, and the two look too similar.

"Her Majesty Queen Regent, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, I am a lowly sinner, and now I beg of you to be sent down!" said Count Alexander, kneeling down on one knee.

Laurel lifted him up with both hands: "Alexander, you did nothing wrong! Kendal imprisoned me here, but you never treated me as a prisoner." I have received a lot of care from you for more than 10 years, thank you...... But I really hope that you and Helena will stay! The people of Erathia need to be united, and this is the strength of our victory over all enemies!"

"As you know, I have made a sacred oath before His Majesty King Kendall to him for the rest of my life. As a knight, I have to keep my word. ”

"Where are you going?" Catherine asked, "I don't think it's appropriate for you to go to Tekken Castle, maybe King Kendall will punish you......"

"I'll go back to my family's territory, there's always a place for me to stay. Rest assured, Your Highness Princess, I will not let my troops attack you. The sword should not be directed at one's own countrymen, but at the invading enemy!" Alexander put his hand on his left chest and said loudly: "Courage and honor!"

"Courage and honor!" Catherine and Gu Shiyu both put their hands on their left chests and said solemnly.

When Gu Shiyu followed Laurel, Catherine and other civil and military ministers into the palace, he was immediately attracted by a huge map hanging on the wall.

This map looks familiar......

Wait a minute...... Gu Shiyu immediately left everyone behind, walked straight to the map, and looked at it carefully.

There is no latitude and longitude marked on the map, but judging from the outline of the map, Gu Shiyu can immediately distinguish it, this should be a map of Europe!

Yes, it's definitely a map of Europe! The first thing that caught his eye was the island of England and the island of Ireland in the upper left of the map, which anyone could recognise.

From there, he could find the Strait of Gibraltar, and from there to the east was the Mediterranean Sea...... He even immediately found the most striking symbol of the Mediterranean – the Apennine Peninsula!

Oh my God, this really is the map of Europe!

In that area, he also found the Isles of the Holy Light, where the islands of Sardinia, Corsica, and Sicily were supposed to be. The Apennine Peninsula is marked with the Erie, and across the northern border of the Eeri is the majestic and snow-capped Alps. It's no wonder that there is only one gap in entering the entire core continent from Erry!

When Gu Shiyu was fighting on the Holy Light Island, although he had also obtained a map, it was only a map of that sea area, how could it be so detailed?!

Above Eri is Erathia! Where it is located should be where Germany and France are located; Yugoslavia and Greece should be marked Diya; Kalava is sandwiched between the three places, and the location should be Austria; the wild land is marked with Krurod, and the eastern wilderness should be Turkey and the area east of it; and the western wilderness should be Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and other Mediterranean coastal areas......

Shiyu also found it in the valley of the swamps, with a hydra painted on it, marked with Tetaria, whose location should be Roman and the area around the Black Sea;

What about the Elemental Lands...... It should be Poland, Belarus and other Eastern European places, with Avili on it and a burning phoenix painted on it.

Titan Continent ...... Found it, it was marked with Bracada, which was supposed to be the location of Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and it depicted a giant holding a Titan arrow.

The English islands are marked with a black dragon depicted on the Nigon, and the Icelandic region has a hell's gate with a ghostly dragon and a red-colored archdemon with Dejia and Eophor on it, and it looks like you can reach the underworld through here......

As a frequent hiker, Gu Shiyu has the habit of studying maps, which is why he has a strong sense of direction. He had admired many pictures of the beauty of Europe in the past, was fascinated by this beautiful land, studied the relevant maps of Europe, and even planned travel routes. Otherwise, he would never be so familiar with the geographical distribution here, and he would never be sure that this continent is Europe!

Now he was completely sure that he had fallen from the sinkhole, smashed through the earth, and came to the other side of the earth!

In other words, I have not only traveled through space, but also through time!

But what era should this be? In ancient Rome, people did not wear trousers, but they would just take some cloth and put it on their bodies, and tie it with their belts, and that was their clothes, and when they puffed it with their hands, or when the wind blew, their whole thighs would be exposed...... Aren't all the statues of that era like this?

Judging by the degree of civilization here, it should belong to the medieval era of Europe.

Also, there should have been Jesus at this time, and he had even been resurrected and nirvana...... He is supposed to be the god that the people of this continent believe in. But it seems that the beliefs in this place are very messy, and the gods of each race and religion are different!

Could it be that the gods in the heavens have not yet controlled the entire heavenly court, and are fighting each other for the right to rule just like the ones on the ground? Gu Shiyu immediately realized, no wonder they had no time to manage everything that happened on the ground!

I see! That's what it is......

Although Gu Shiyu seemed to understand the reason why the gods in the sky were not busy, he still didn't understand which era he had traveled to!

In terms of terrain, I did travel to Europe, but in terms of human history, it does not look like Europe at all!

Could it be that in the vast universe, there is still a planet exactly like the earth?

If this planet really exists, is the wheel of its historical development parallel to the Earth, ahead of its time, or lagging behind?

If the development is parallel, then after going back, you should be able to go back to the original world to see your relatives, and hopefully they are not too old......

If development is lagging behind, then when you go back, you should see your ancestors, so what should you call them? Will you tamper with history because of your own rash joining?

If the development is advanced, then after going back, it should be their descendants who will see them, and if they want to call themselves grandfathers, ancestors, will they agree?

Oh my God, this is a complete mess! Gu Shiyu has a splitting headache.

Catherine saw Gu Shiyu holding her head in her hands and immediately walked over.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, seeing this map reminds me of a lot of things!"

"Come and talk to my mother, she likes you very much!" Catherine took Gu Shiyu's arm and came to Laurel.

Gu Shiyu knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty the Regent, I want to ask your forgiveness, I married your daughter without your permission......"

"Child, I am very satisfied to see you love each other!As a mother, I wish you eternal happiness!" Laurel caressed the top of Gu Shiyu's head lovingly with her hand.

"Can I call you mother?" Gu Shiyu finally couldn't help it.

"Of course!"

"Mother, this is a gift I give you, you must accept it!" Gu Shiyu finally found an opportunity and presented the gemstone ring with both hands.

"Oh my God, this gift is so valuable!" Laurel exclaimed, "Thank you, child, let me kiss you!"

has grown so big, Gu Shiyu has also hugged a few girls or women...... But this is the first time he has been embraced by a middle-aged woman who still has charm, which makes him feel that he is still a child, and his heart is warm.

"Her Majesty, Your Highness the Princess, the Chosen One! Three heroes have come from Bracada and have asked to come to the palace to meet you!"

"Invite them in!" said Laurel at once.

The people who came to the valley knew Shiyu all the time. One of them is Tanan, the other is the High Priest of the Temple of Atonement, Somla, and the other is the mischievous little sister Ressa!

"Oh, I really didn't expect you to come!" Gu Shiyu strode forward.

"Guzi, we are here to ask for your help this time!" Tanan said straight to the point.
