Chapter 1351: The Mystery of the Feast (1)
The invitation to the wedding of the god king of Asgard is very special, its letter paper is kneaded from the fibers of the branches of the World Tree, the fabric of the envelope is the cloth spun by the goddess of Asgard herself, and even the wax seal of the envelope is melted into the precious mythril of the dwarf race, which has been blessed by the god king of Asgard.
The four corners of the square letter are surrounded by a hard, sharp metal rim, and the golden fire paint in the center is the pattern of the branches of the World Tree holding up the nine kingdoms.
The dark blue envelope represents the origin of the Asgardian maritime civilization, and the flickering divine power on the letter carries a spark of thunder, indicating the great thunder power of the god king.
Slender and extraordinarily slender fingers were removed from the surface of the invitation, and the other hand took the invitation, and the cuffs made of dark brown linen and white straps indicated that the owner of the hand was a resident of Asgard.
The waiter, dressed in the traditional Norse Viking costume, nodded at the visitor and said with a smile: "Welcome to Asgard, Her Majesty the Queen of the Shea Empire, may the light always shine on you and your country." ”
The queen of the Xi'a Empire was dressed in a gorgeous golden robe, the silk threads shone with colorful light, and the gorgeous feathers were draped behind her head, which added a little more color, and when she heard the last words of the waiter, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
The queen thought, if she remembered correctly, Asgard's prayer was "The Father of the gods bless you forever" or "The father of the gods shows you the way."
It seems that the change of power in Asgard has really been completed smoothly, and the god king Thor not only got the throne of Asgard, but also replaced the god of thunder with the god of light.
The queen of the Xia Empire sighed a little while following the attendant who led the way, the Xia Empire is very similar to the Asgardian government, both are classical kingdoms, and they are both countries led by real power royal families.
And what is enviable and admirable is that the new god king not only perfectly took over the throne and priesthood from his father, but also did not break out in the battle for the throne when he had a younger brother, and even made Loki the king, and he was the prince of real power.
This is enough to see how high Thor's rule over Asgard is, he is not worried about the right to share profits, the people are not confused by the two kings of one country, the nobles have no trouble, and the commoners have no turmoil, which is almost a perfect answer to the change of power of the royal family in the classical kingdom.
The queen of the Xia Empire had met Thor once, but at that time, she did not have a high opinion of Thor, and to put it bluntly, she had a bad impression of him.
Thor at that time, like most Asgardian soldiers, was rude, reckless, yelling, with nothing in his mind but fighting, and going on a rampage everywhere he went, far from his father's ease of control.
At that time, the queen was still secretly glad in her heart, with such an heir, maybe Odin would not have a very happy old age, and most of the leaders of interstellar civilizations thought so at that time.
But hundreds of years have passed, and even the Xia Empire, which has always been politically stable, has broken out various incidents from time to time, and other short-lived interstellar civilizations have been in chaos for a few rounds, but Asgard, which they are most unoptimistic about, has landed smoothly, and the queen is also a little angry and unwilling in her heart.
At the end of the day, what is Asgard?
Why do you have innate powers? Why is everything going smoothly? Why hasn't Ragnarok yet arrived? Why did everyone wait so long for their decline, but they got stronger and stronger?
Many of the leaders of interstellar civilizations who can come or not will choose to come to the wedding of the god king, just because they are holding their stomachs, they want to see what this new king Thor is capable of.
Asgard has been wandering outside the interstellar society for thousands of years, destroying everywhere without ruling, and now he wants to join the civilized society, but he can't let them take advantage of all the good things, right?
Walking into the banquet hall, the queen took back her invitation card from the waiter, and went through the process of the ceremony in her mind, and the welcome banquet officially began at 4:50 p.m., and most of the civilization leaders who participated in the banquet would be present at this time.
The welcome party ends at 6 a.m., and the dance party begins, with music, and the guests dance with their partners or other guests they have met at the venue, as well as the newlyweds who have not yet had a ceremony, and the lively dance party continues until midnight.
The next morning, all the guests went to the Asgard Garden, where the King and Queen would celebrate their wedding ceremony, and then the guests would go to Asgard Square from the east gate of the garden.
The King and Queen would meet and address the ministers and generals on the balcony on the third floor of Asgard, and then walk out of the main entrance and walk hand in hand across the Asgard Bridge to wave to all the people and guests of Asgard.
This is the process of most interstellar civilization leaders when they get married, first entertaining the guests who come to the wedding, then greeting the ministers and nobles, and then marching among the people.
Of course, this is a simplified version of the ceremony in Asgard, when the queen of the Shea Empire married her husband, the banquet and ball for the guests were held for three days, and the parade that followed was a tour of the country, even if it was a portal, and it took five days to go to important cities and attractions.
Even if all the processes were compressed into two days, it was an unprecedented event in Asgard, and even the sunset on this day was extraordinarily bright.
Looking through the stained glass of the Asgard Hall, the Asgard Bridge, which has stood here for thousands of years, looks particularly magnificent, like the beginning and end of a legendary story.
The queen glanced around and saw many familiar faces, and just as she was thinking in her mind who to start today's topic, her gaze caught a figure.
The queen of the Xi'a Empire's pupils shrank suddenly, and her heart sank to the bottom, and she pronounced the name in a tone that was almost too heavy to be heavy: "...... Hella. ”
The figure was dressed in a black backless gown, and the lace pattern was so light that it seemed to be nothing, crawling along the chest and shoulders, turning into a light black veil to cover the smooth back line.
Smooth silk ribbons cut through the loins, outlining a smooth waistline, and down the plump hips, the draped fabric suddenly tightened, and the ornate mermaid skirt bloomed at the ends, like ripples of water in the moonlight.
As if sensing the gaze, the woman, whose skin was so pale that there was no trace of blood, turned around and glanced at the queen of the Xia Empire.
Even though hundreds of years had passed, when she looked at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the universe again, the queen still felt a deep pressure, as if she was still the little girl who was still in the storage position.
Why is Hela here?!
The queen's heart was full of doubts and horrors, wasn't she permanently imprisoned by Odin? Why can a prince who has failed to compete for the throne still appear at the wedding of the new king in a grand manner?
Yes, in the memory of the queen and the vast majority of civilization leaders of this generation, for a long time, Hela was the undisputed heir to the throne of Asgard, Odin's favorite prince, and everyone thought that she would be the first queen of Asgard.
But the development of things is also like countless historical cycles, rebellion, failure, imprisonment, and then never see the light of day.
Hearing the news of the failure of the Hela uprising in the distant Mengyu Palace, the crown prince's queen was a little glad in fear, but fortunately she was not as impulsive, reckless and reckless as that crazy woman.
After successfully ascending the throne and calming the situation, the queen also recalled the past.
As the mighty fleets of Asgard's glory days swept past her fiefdoms, the armoured princess of Asgard stood at the top of the ship, her mighty warriors trailing her, her sword pointing to the glory sought by all the gods.
The queen of the Xia Empire, who was only a princess at the time, was like all the followers of the eldest princess, and she couldn't take her eyes off that figure for a long time, who hadn't been fascinated by the high-spirited and scolding of others when she was young?
His Royal Highness, who is still the crown prince, is a glimpse of the horror of many people's youth, and a silent sigh in the midnight dream many years later.
And in the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed, and the queen never dreamed that she would see Hela here again.
She didn't look like a prisoner who had been imprisoned for hundreds of years, and when her gaze swept over, no one dared to look at her, whether it was the Asgardians who were shuttling through the Great Hall or the leaders of civilization who had come from afar.
The reason, the queen thought, may be because Hela has beaten them, or their father, or maybe they have beaten their grandfather, or maybe they have been their grandfather.
The queen sighed inwardly, remembering the scene when her father, the husband of the previous queen and the head of the royal fleet, was overwhelmed by Hela's fleet on the border of the Xia Empire.
After ending the memories and recovering from the shock of Hela's reappearance, the queen couldn't help but feel a little curious, how could Hela be here? How could Odin let her appear here?
Thinking of this, the queen decided to make up for the regrets of her youth, go and chat with the eldest princess who was once a legend, and go back to brag with her partner who grew up with.
So, the queen took a glass of wine from the hand of the waiter next to her, straightened her skirt, and walked towards Hela.
But she was halfway through when she noticed that someone had taken the lead, and another male figure had walked to the opposite side of Hela before her.
The queen's footsteps stopped, she felt a little annoyed by her previous hesitation, but she couldn't help but gloat a little, this eldest princess was not so easy to get along with.
There was no shortage of the opposite sex who chased her because of Hela's temperament and appearance, but the result...... can only say that if it weren't for this, there wouldn't be so many fathers and grandfathers who have been beaten.
The queen looked the bold man up and down, not wearing an Asgardian gown, indicating that he was not a god, the queen was well-informed, and when she saw the baroque style of the shirt collar exposed by the long suit dress, she immediately recognized it as human clothing.
Very well, there are few races in the universe whose physique is weaker than humans, and we can only pray that the life of imprisonment will make this eldest princess's temper better, otherwise, once this ignorant human makes any offensive and rude moves, today's banquet will be smashed.
Thinking of this, a hint of pleasure arose in her heart, and she silently withdrew her steps, gently brushed the feathers on her sideburns with her hand, and smiled politely at the prince of some Federation of Centaurs who came over to talk.
Although the attitude is still polite, what she wants to do is interrupted halfway, which inevitably makes people a little depressed, and the queen has long been out of interest.
But in the face of other leaders of civilization who were constantly courteous, the queen could not remain silent, and after a few polite words, she left the banquet on the grounds that her dress was wrinkled and needed to be taken care of.
