Chapter 3: The Glory of the House of Lorraine

Lorraine stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "Ferro, what do you think of the young master, I went to slaughter that idiot dragon and achieved a great legend?"

"Do you think that when the time comes, if someone comes to interview me, I will use 'Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is a legend.'" It's better to end with 'I'm not slaughtering dragons, I'm lonely.' Which of these two statements is a little more bullish, and it highlights the young master's ...... that my jade tree is in the wind and heroic and extraordinary."

Ferro's frightened face turned earthy, and he shouted loudly, "Young Master." Don't~!"

Lorraine asked in amazement, "Why not? Aren't you shouting all day long for me to revitalize the family? As long as we kill this idiot dragon......"

"Young Master~!" Ferro interrupted him, then smiled reluctantly and said, "Young Master, I want you to revitalize the family business." It's not for you to die. You're the only one left in the Lorraine family, if you're dead. The Lorraine family was cut off. Besides, why are you going to slay a dragon?"

"Huh, isn't the ancestor of the Lorraine family a paladin? ”

"Lord Harlinder is indeed a great paladin. But his grandson is not. Ferro had a hateful look on his face, "Lord Karl eloped with the elven princess Annelina, who came to visit the Empire...... Belch...... After both of them left, the "Battle Soul Record", known as the strongest paladin in the world, cultivated the secret method, disappeared. ”

Lorraine smiled, disdainful in her heart. For him, who grew up in modern society, Brother Xinchun ...... Belch...... Believing in science is king.

He sighed, took Ferro's words, and said for him, "At the same time, there is also the family heirloom Dragon Soul Battle Armor. None of those two things. Coupled with the suppression of His Majesty, the thunderous and furious emperor at that time, the Lorraine family declined in this way, and one generation was not as good as the next. ”

"Please~!" he paused, rolled his eyes at Ferro, and said, "I've heard this more than eight hundred times, can't you say anything new?" How did they hook up and commit adultery...... Phew, Phew, Phew...... How did you get into the eyes? I was able to seduce the elf princess to elope with me, and I really deserved my ancestors. ”

Ferro was stunned, he took a deep breath, pretended not to see Lorraine's leisurely expression, and continued to himself: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really kill that dragon, young master." But you have to know that it's a wise dragon, not a brainless wurm or something. ”

Lorraine cracked his mouth, then pouted the pure gelding cow and said, "Rancid~!So what?"

Although Ferro didn't understand what he meant by 'rancid', he still said patiently: "In other words, those guys are as affectionate as people, and they are quite protective." What if the news comes out and the dragon's wife or some relative in the family comes to the door in a rage?"

He thought of something, and then added, "No, you don't need its family to knock on the door. Maybe someone will take the lead in picking up your scoop from the young master in order to win the friendship of the dragons, and then tie a beautiful bow and offer it with both hands. ”

Lorraine touched his head, and was speechless.

After a while, he looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "Ferro, it's not too early, why don't you give me a ride?" ”

Ferro smiled, knowing that Lorraine had followed his advice and wasn't going to do anything stupid. Therefore, he agreed: "As you wish, young master." ”

Then he waved his whip and drove the old ox to the broken cart, and continued on his way.

The ox cart strolled along and disappeared into the far end of the road.

Maybe it's because Chengping has been in peace for too long, or maybe the giant dragon is too idiotic. The two of them completely lost their due vigilance, forgetting the heavy news of the dragon's attack. But as the Ruman proverb goes: no matter how good a goblin is, a damn goblin, but no matter how littered a dragon is, he is also a dragon.

×××××××××××××××

The two drove the ox cart and walked for a long time, and finally came to a small village when the sun was about to be in the middle of the day.

Before entering the village, I saw a large group of people who had been waiting there for a long time to greet them.

They came near and saluted Lorraine.

"Hello Lord. ”

"Hello sir. ”

"Young master, you are in good health. ”

“......”

There are all kinds of gossips, and it's a mess.

Seeing Lorraine's dazed look, Ferro reminded in a low voice beside him: "These are the residents of Lorraine's territory. ”

Lorraine then understood.

He smiled dryly, then waved his hand and said to everyone: "Haha, everyone has worked hard, and their health is good~!"

At this time, a voice from the back of the crowd came: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." Get out of the way. The lord is here, don't be so messy, unruly, let the adults laugh. ”

Hearing that voice, the people stepped back and made way of a path. Immediately afterward, an old man with all white hair appeared in front of Lorraine with a cane.

I saw him raise his head, look at Lorraine carefully, and then suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged Lorraine and cried bitterly. While crying, he said: "It's really a young master, it's really a young master~! A few days ago, I heard that you were seriously ill and you were about to die." I...... I went up with a cane and opened the bastard's scoop......"

He wiped a handful of tears with his backhand, and continued: "I just said that good people have good rewards, the Lorraine family has always been upright, glorious, heroic, and a model for all knights, even if God is blind, it is impossible to end up with a broken blood......

Lorraine listened to him babbling non-stop, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Integrity and glory? Bravery? A model for knights? Such a family has not been severed, is it really God blind?"

He suspected in his heart that the old man was cursing himself maliciously, and he deliberately wiped those tears and snot on him, but he didn't dare to say anything when he saw everyone's respect for the old man.

Someone hurriedly persuaded him: "Old village chief Pol, don't cry. Today is your grandson's wedding day, you should be happy. ”

"Yes, yes. Glad. I am happy. The old man wiped away another handful of tears, and then continued: "Young master, when you were a child, I also hugged you. At that time, you were only a little bit old......"

Lorraine couldn't help grinning, but for this old man who had been an old lady's attendant, he could only deal with it: "Yes, yes, you have hugged me, and your old man is in good health." ”

Ferro also followed the persuasion and said, "Old village chief, let's wait a while and have time to chat, you see that this day is about to be noon, don't miss the time to get married." Everyone is waiting. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Don't waste time. The old man wiped the tears from his eyes. Then he waved his hand and shouted, "Go, let's go." Everyone, today's good wine and meat are enough. ”

After speaking, he took the first step and led the Lorraine people towards the village.

The crowd gathered around Lorraine and came to the village square.

The band had already started playing.

There were hundreds of guests in the small square. Some dance on wooden tables covered with flowers, others sit at long dining tables. Others were holding wine glasses and chatting there. In addition, many children took advantage of this festive opportunity to chase and play in the crowd, screaming and laughing.

The table is stacked high with fragrant meals and gallon jugs containing home-made red wine. The bride, dressed in white gauze and dazzling clothes, sat at a specially raised table with the bridegroom, bridesmaids, bridesmaids and family members. This arrangement, which is filled with the smell of the countryside, is an ancient Ruman custom.

When everyone saw Lorraine coming, they all got up and let out an earth-shattering cheer.

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Lorraine did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly waved to everyone.

He came to the center of the venue under the leadership of the old village chief.

At this moment, the originally light music suddenly turned and became solemn. And all the people fell silent.

The newlyweds, accompanied by the sword-wielding swords, all got up and walked slowly towards him.

Lorraine was a little confused.

Ferro hurriedly reminded in a whisper beside him, "Young Master, it's up to you to preside over their wedding ceremony. ”

"Huh?" asked Lorraine in amazement, "What's the matter? Isn't the wedding I remember supposed to be presided over by a clergy?"

Ferro knew that after the young master was seriously ill, he forgot a lot of things, so he patiently explained: "These people are all subjects of the Lorraine family, and it is under the protection of the family that they can farm and hunt with peace of mind. It stands to reason that you will be the one to officiate their wedding. ”

Seeing Lorraine's disbelieving gaze, he couldn't help but pause, and then continued: "Of course, there is another reason: those bastards who want money are too expensive. They don't even look at this kind of small scene like ours. ”

Lorraine rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, "They charge a lot, so how much do we charge?"

Ferro seemed to choke on something, and then replied in a low voice, "It is the duty of a lord to serve his own inhabitants." ”

It turns out that this is compulsory labor and no money is given. Lorraine suddenly understood, and couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

At this time, the couple had come to the front, standing respectfully, waiting for Lorraine to preside.

Lorraine thought for a moment, and then began to speak according to the classic lines of the gods in her memory: "Today, at this moment, we are about to witness the happy marriage of a newlywed. ”

He raised his head and exclaimed, "Gentlemen and ladies, if you have any objection to their union, please raise it at this time. ”

At this point, he deliberately paused and looked hopefully at the audience. Because according to the traditional bloody plot, at this time, there will always be one or two people who will come out to stir up the situation, and then perform a scene of tearful comedy.

But he was disappointed to find that no one stood up to speak, and of course it could have something to do with the bright swords in the hands of the ministers.

At this time, the guests below found that Lorraine's hosting method was different from Ruman's customs, and they also began to exchange ears, making a low buzzing sound.

"What do you want to do, sir?"

"Is he stirring things up?"

"Could it be that he also has a crush on Emerald Flower?"

"Wow, snatching love with a horizontal sword, it's the same as a knight's novel, what an exciting plot~!"

“......”

Lorraine waited expectantly for a while, and found that the sword-wielding ministers also began to glare at her, while the others began to roll up their sleeves and come forward with bad intentions, and had to say, "Very well." It seems that no one objected. From now on, keep your mouth shut. Let's get started. ”

He saw that everyone was stunned, and they retreated back one after another, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Then he raised his right hand and said to the couple: "In order to ensure that this marriage is voluntary, I hereby inquire of the bride on behalf of the gods and the solemn twelve bronze tables...... Belch......

He suddenly remembered that he didn't know the woman's name yet, but he didn't want to make a fool of himself in public, so he was vague for a moment, and then continued: "Who is the bride, but you are willing to marry the groom as a wife?"

The bride looked up at the groom shyly and timidly, then nodded quickly and whispered, "I do." ”

Lorraine turned her head and said to the groom, "Groom...... Are you willing to marry your bride?"

The groom looked back at the bride, then reached for his trousers and replied, "I do." ”

Lorraine stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, changing into a standard Cambridge accent and said, "Ou Kai, then I hereby declare that you are now legally married......

Next to him, Ferro hurriedly whispered: "Young Master, presiding over the wedding ceremony is not like this. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned.

Ferro grabbed a silver knife next to him, and then decisively slashed the hands of the groom and the bride, and blood flowed out instantly. Lorraine grinned - is this marriage, or slaughter?

He crossed the bleeding wrists of the two men together, and then raised them high. He said loudly: "Now the blood of the two of them is blended together, and they can no longer be separated." We hereby testify to this sacred marriage in the name of the Most High, Holy and Merciful God, Drasen, and may they pass this life with the blessing of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, under the protection of Athena, the goddess of justice and war. ”

Everyone present burst into cheers.

The sound of enthusiastic music also sounded again, and some people began to dance to the music.

Although the ceremony of this wedding is not too traditional, who will bring it up and spoil everyone's interest. What's more, everyone has been waiting for most of the day. At this time, it is only a serious thing to fill your stomach that has already been hungry.

Lorraine found herself completely ignored as a host, and she didn't find it a little boring.

He walked to the table next to him and loaded a large plate of food to comfort his wounded feelings.

Just as he was about to eat, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Immediately afterwards, a sweaty knight rushed into the square with a green mule and horse.

The knight rushed all the way to the center of the meeting and then jumped off his horse. Then he ran in front of Lorraine in a few steps, and shouted out breathlessly, "Uncle...... Lord Earl, something is wrong~!"

Lorraine Huo Ran got up, looked at the knight, and then scolded loudly in pain: "Bastard~! ”
