Chapter 476: We're Married
Azik took Hobert and Klein back to the hotel's luxurious suite.
Azke asked Hobert, "You seem to know a lot about the Quaternary period?" β
"Because of the corpse of the ancient Reaper, I've been given permission to read some secret knowledge." Hobert lied sincerely, "Thanks to Mr. Azik's help." β
Azik smiled and shook his head, "I should thank you for reminding me of many things. β
He pinched his temples: "I'm sorry, your question just now reminded me of something again, I'm not in a good state, and I may not be able to attend your wedding." β
Hobart said with some concern, "Can we help you?" β
"It's good to sleep for a while." Azik said to Hobert again, "Stretch out your hand." β
Hobart stretched out his hand, and Azik slapped it in his palm, and a black skeleton with an illusory crown appeared in Hobert's palm.
Before Hobart could take a closer look, the pattern vanished, as if seeping into his skin.
Azik explained: "Just now I gave you the ability to enter the underworld and mobilize a part of the underworld's power, which is a supreme honor in the southern continent of the Quaternary Age. β
He shook his head with a somewhat self-deprecating smile and said, "It's a pity that you are not an extraordinary person in the 'Reaper' path, and this mark will not help you much.
"Sometimes, though, you can also use it to make some undead creatures' enemies submit, or make the undead creatures feel good enough about you not to attack you.
"Well, this is my wedding gift to you.
"When I wake up from my slumber, I'll go back to you."
Hobert looked at the palm of his hand and smiled happily: "Mr. Azik, thank you for the gift!" This gift is so valuable, I love it. β
Azik smiled and explained a few more words to Klein before entering the spirit realm again and disappearing into the room.
Hobart took a deep breath and looked at Klein: "Okay, it's not too early, let's go." β
The two of them arrived at Jeffrey's collar and Hobert's study, where Selena and Freya were already waiting for them to fall asleep.
Crane looked at the two girls for a moment, but then returned to normalcy and thanked Freya for pouring him tea.
After chatting a few words, Hobert asked the two young girls to help the guests clean up a guest room and then go to rest.
The two of them were left in the study, and Hobart explained, "Freya was one of the two people I rescued from the Great Smog, and I heard she knew Detective Sherlock. β
Klein took a sip of tea: "...... her mother and sister?" β
"I was a step late when I saved someone, and her mother's body was already exhausted, but it was only a few seconds late, and I couldn't save her." "Her sister still went to school in Beckland," Hobert said. β
"Naselena ......"
"At the beginning of the year, Selena had an extraordinary incident." Hobert gave a brief account of what happened to Boklon Villa, and finally said, "And the potion I took at the end of last year was called 'Mentor of Chaos', and it needed a few students. β
Klein nodded, Selena's passion for the extraordinary world and the occult is very suitable for being a student of Hobert, and here in Hobert, it is also reassuring.
Skipping the topic, Hobert added, "Wake up early tomorrow and help me entertain the guests." β
Klein was slightly stunned: "Am I not a guest?" β
Hobart picked up the teapot and poured Crane a glass of water, "Am I not entertaining you?" Besides, who says that guests can't entertain other guests?
"Give me a favor, there will be a surprise tomorrow."
Klein smiled, "Lawyer! β
β¦β¦
January 28, Beckland, 1920 Boamley Avenue in the Factory District.
It's an abandoned factory, but today it suddenly became lively, and a group of people in strange costumes came out of the factory and cleaned up the weeds in the yard.
Then the door of the factory opened, and two busy girls appeared at the door of the office building, one of them was Selena, who had striking red hair, and Freya, who didn't talk much but was very capable.
At nine o'clock, the first carriage drove into the factory, and several men who were gorgeously dressed but whose temperament obviously did not match their clothes came down from the carriage, and they looked at the empty abandoned factory with some blankness: Did they go to the wrong place?
Selena stepped forward and said, "Are you here for the wedding?" β
One of the men at the head nodded, "Yes, yes." β
"Please show me the invitation." Selena glanced at the invitation: "Hello Mr. Auston, please here, this is my companion Freya, he will take you to the wedding scene." β
It was Auston and the others who had robbed the tomb with Hobert, and if it was only such an experience, Hobert would not have sent them an invitation.
Later, the Mercenary Club sent three elite squads to assassinate Hobert, and Auston took a huge risk to warn Hobert through Jessica.
So Hobart also invited them to his own wedding.
Freya took a few deep breaths, trying to make herself feel generous in the face of strangers: "Please follow me." β
She led Auston and the others to the office building, where there was a closed door on the side of the empty hall.
This door is not as broken as the others, and the door is clean.
Freya followed the teacher's previous teachings, put the attention she was using on the doorknob, and said in an ancient Hermetian language with some jerky: "Jeffrey leads! β
As soon as the door opened, there was an illusory space in the door frame: "Inside, please." β
Auston and the others glanced at each other, hiding their surprise and following closely behind.
After shuttling through the spirit world for a while, suddenly a door appeared in front of them again, and this door opened, and the outside of the door was a completely different scene, from the architectural style and people's clothing, there was an exotic atmosphere.
There are people coming and going outside, and it looks very lively, and this is the front yard of the Lord's Palace.
On the front yard, Crane, with Gelman Sparrow's face, grimly commanded the servant to do the next step of reception.
Alston and the others were still reminiscing about the trip just now, and followed the servants a little blankly to the wedding scene.
On Beckland's side, the abandoned factory is getting more and more lively, and horse-drawn carriages are coming one after another, and Selena is seriously entertaining: "Ms. Daly and Mr. Leonard, we meet again, please come here."
"Sir, are you also here for the wedding? Please ask the coachman to stop the carriage that way. β
At this time, Selena saw an acquaintance who got off the rental carriage: "Melissa, this way, this way!" Hello, Mr. Benson. β
Melissa didn't expect to see her good friend here: "Selena, you also received an invitation?" β
"No, I was arranged by Mentor Hobart to receive guests." Selena smiled: "We'll talk later, this is my companion Freya, please follow her to the wedding scene."
"Oh, by the way, I've seen the guest list, and Elizabeth will be here in a moment."
Sure enough, a few moments later, Elizabeth and her family arrived.
Elizabeth was a little surprised: "Selena, your family is worried, why are you here?" β
When Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood saw the letter Selena had left, they were a little uneasy and went around asking about Selena's whereabouts.
As Selena's best friend, the Woods are sure to go to Elizabeth and ask.
Selena smiled, "I'm studying the occult with Mr. Hobart right now, and I'll send a letter to my parents when I have time." β
After a brief chat, Selena had to be busy greeting the guests again: "Mr. Harvey Hayden, please come here."
"Show me your invitation, Mr. Dorian, sir, right? Please join this Mr. Harvey Hayden for the wedding. β
Crane, who was on the other side of the Lord's Mansion, looked at Melissa and Benson with a fixed gaze.
Taking a deep breath, Klein was relieved: This TM is the surprise that Hobart said last night!
He was about to step forward, but he did not take that step after all, and continued to direct the servants to entertain.
At about eleven o'clock, Audrey and Glerint got off at the abandoned factory in Beckland, as two ornate noble carriages arrived.
Selena's eyes lit up, and she sighed in her heart that this young lady was so beautiful, and her clothes and jewelry were really luxurious: "Beautiful young lady, you are here to attend the wedding, please come here." β
With the arrival of two members of the "Justice League", the welcome mission on Beckland's side is nearing its end.
The last few guests were Captain Thomas and the other three, who had received an urgent case this morning and rushed over in a panic after going to the scene.
Selena looked at the invitation and smiled, "Three of you, please come here." β
Freya had gone to the Lord's Mansion to help, and Selena had arrived at the door with the last three guests.
Borgia said, "I mean, the wedding won't take place in an abandoned factory. β
Thomas also smiled: "I didn't expect to go through a 'traveler's door' to attend a wedding, which reminded me of the experience of going to the headquarters to study." β
Selena heard their conversation and noticed the dark emblem on the carriage of the three of them, knowing that they were all extraordinary.
She reminisced back to what happened at Boklon Villa, and lamented that the mentor knew so many extraordinary people.
After passing through the "Traveler's Gate" to the Lord's Mansion, Klein stepped forward to take over: "Please follow the servants to the wedding scene." β
Selena took a few sips of the water handed over by Freya: "The guests from Beckland's side have arrived. β
Klein nodded: "Let the servant carry a table of food to Beckland's factory in a while, entertain the coachmen waiting there, and don't send the wine." β
Selena agreed: "Understood." β
"Take a break, and you'll go to the wedding too!" With that, Klein went to the wedding scene.
He didn't expect that he, who had never been married, would actually serve as the welcome of the wedding.
However, he was only in charge of Beckland's side, and the welcome on Fenerport's side was handled by a butler named Dofis.
The wedding site was held on a meadow not far from the lord's mansion, and the weather was good today, neither hot nor cold, and it was just right to hold the ceremony outdoors.
The scene was already full of people, and the area where they were sitting was hierarchical, from the guests of Beckland's side to the nobles of Fenerport.
Klein also saw a few witches during the banquet, and he knew witches too well, so he knew them just by looking at them.
This made Klein believe what Hobart had said last night, and maybe he was really afraid of running into acquaintances.
Then Klein thought of the sentence in Russell's diary, "The taste of witches is really good", and he seriously doubted that the extraordinary people in the "Black Emperor" path all had this fetish?
Of course, even if there is a witch, the focus of the audience is basically Audrey, the jewel of Beckland, no matter what banquet he attends, he is the most dazzling existence.
At one point, Klein almost thought Miss Justice was an extraordinary person who had taken a "high sequence" witch potion.
Through information such as Beckland's nobles and Hobert's friends, Klein easily contacted Audrey as Miss Justice.
It was not until the presence of the princess named Ethel that she shared much of the spotlight, and although her appearance was far inferior to that of Miss Justice, she was so imposing that many of the nobles of Fenetport did not dare to raise their heads after the princess arrived.
In addition, many guests wearing the robes of the Mother Earth God Church, Klein lamented the breadth of Hobert's social circle, and even knew the "giant bishop" of Bakerland's Harvest Church, as well as the vampire Emlin with a parasol.
Finally, there are seats reserved for local officials and citizens, because the number of people who can sit is limited, and more people can watch the excitement from the distance of the venue.
After briefly reporting to Dophes about the welcome on Beckland's side, Klein also found a corner and sat down.
At 12 o'clock, the wedding officially began, and the music on the scene became solemn.
Holding Hobert's arm, Forth appeared in the middle of the hallway, where he wore a white gown that symbolizes "purity" today.
The veil shawl, the skirt with lace and auspicious patterns give Furth a sense of sacredness.
And the bloated skirt gives people a sense of grace, followed by a long skirt, and two seven or eight-year-old children follow behind to pull the skirt.
Hobert wore a mantle in the style of Fenerport, somewhat elaborate traditional aristocratic attire. The reason why he liked the fenepot-style cape so much was because it made him heroic and majestic.
When Hugh, the bridesmaid who helped with the bouquet of flowers, appeared, everyone thought it was the bride's younger sister who was still in school, or the younger generation of the bride's family.
According to local custom, Hobert and Foirth held a wooden box together.
There is a new dress in the wooden box, which symbolizes new beginnings.
There is also a pocket watch that does not look very new, symbolizing the past of the two people.
A blue flower symbolizes the sincerity of two people.
A somewhat crude bowl, borrowed from the homes of residents of the town, symbolizes harmony between neighbors.
There is also a pair of gemstone earrings gifted by Monlisa, symbolizing the care of loved ones.
As soon as she entered the venue, Forth saw her friends from medical school, many writers, and her mother's family, all waving to Forth and sending their best wishes in advance.
After a brief moment of surprise, Furth glanced at his fiancΓ© on the side.
Hobert looked ahead and smiled, "I've hypnotized them, and they'll ignore the process of coming here and going back." But I listened to you, and I did not take your father here.
"Well, I got in touch with your uncle through your classmates, and when I heard that they were all eager to come to your wedding, I invited them all."
When Furth saw his grandmother's kind smile, he raised a happy smile: "It's enough for them to come." β
She had long been reluctant to associate with her father's family.
Especially for weddings in a foreign land, of course, she prefers to have her relatives and friends on the scene, and also hopes to get their blessings.
Forth took Hobert's arm and couldn't help but tighten a little more.
The two men slowly came to the front of the scene, attracting everyone's attention.
Christine looked at the couple with relief, feeling that she had lived up to the trust of her old friend.
Monlisa also shed tears of joy, and Donna cried even harder, just as her brother got married today.
Audrey watched all this with a sweet smile, and others such as Dali, Leonard, Melissa, Elizabeth, Philip, Conrad, and others all looked at the bride and groom with blessed eyes.
And Ethel and the group of nobles, although they also seemed to be very focused, but when they saw their somewhat numb smiles, they knew that although they were here, their hearts had long since not known where they had gone.
Bishop Simpson was already in place, and when Hobert and Furth came to him, the music ceased, and the cheers and cheers gradually stopped, and Bishop Simpson began to bless the two newcomers.
The first part of the blessing is the bishop's description of marriage in the Life Bible and the exhortation to each other to be responsible for each other when they become husband and wife.
The Church of Mother Earth God is similar to the Church of the Goddess of the Night, both of them respect the rights and interests of women, and in turn, women will have more responsibilities than the Church of the Storm or the Church of the Eternal Sun.
This link is somewhat boring, the two children holding the skirt may be too boring, one drops the skirt and does not dry, and the other is going to find his mother.
The guests burst into laughter.
The second part of the blessing is the bishop's blessing: "May the Lord of the earth, the loving Mother Goddess, bless you both." From now on, under the witness of the Mother Goddess, we will agree with one heart and walk with the Mother Goddess; I wish you peace and happiness, love each other, share weal and woe, and never be separated. β
Forthth burst into tears, feeling that it was just for this blessing that he would convert to Mother Earth God and go to church to pray.
This is the end of the blessing ceremony, and there is no such thing as "you are willing, he is willing", and there is still a need to ask for everyone's consent.
However, there is the part of wearing rings, and the ring that Hobert prepared for Forth did not carry any gems and diamonds, and it looked ordinary, but it was very unusual.
As many people have already noticed, this is an extraordinary ring.
That's right, this is exactly the "fighting ring" that Hobart wore before, and he resealed it, and the negative effect was already minimal.
This ring will make up for Furth's lack of combat.
The moment she put it on, Furth immediately felt the effect of the ring, which surprised her to a little, because the ring was much higher than a diamond ring in terms of value and utility.
This is the second surprise that Hobert gave her today, originally she thought that the wedding that had been rehearsed twice was just a formality.
After putting on the ring, Hobart gently kissed the back of Foerth's hand, which made Foerth seem to come back to his senses, smile and gently stroke Hobert's face.
Hobert came over and entered the kissing session amid everyone's coaxing.
Although this link is short, everyone enjoys watching it, and then everyone can come forward to bless the two newcomers.
But with Princess Ethel here, of course she was the first to come forward to bless her.
Ethel, the short-haired princess who was wearing a court dress today, but was still very handsome, got up, took out a roll of parchment paper that had been prepared long ago from the open wooden box handed over by the adjutant, and held it high above her head: "I bring the king's blessing!" β
The nobles immediately stood up, and the guests of Beckland, thinking that this was the local custom, followed suit.
Princess Ethel stepped forward, came up to the two newlyweds, and read out Fernando II's blessing in a voice so long that it almost made Hobart yawn.
I read it for a few minutes, and finally got some dry goods: "...... Hobart was a prime example among the barons, single-handedly re-dredging the Tidige River and greatly improving the law and order in South Coulson.
"These exploits are well known to the king and the Feneport government, so they canonized all the territories of the former Viscount Wright to Baron Hobert, hoping that Hobart will continue to let more citizens live a peaceful and happy life.
"Bless the couple...... (1000 words here)"
After the king's blessing was recited, there was still warm applause, and even many nobles were shouting "Long live the king"!
After inviting Ethel to take a seat, Hobert said loudly, "My wife is a best-selling author, and she has written a book about my experiences and efforts in South Coulson, which I will later give to each guest as a small gift for us!"
"His Majesty said in his letter just now that I am a model among barons and nobles, and you can tell the story of this place to your friends who have not come here when you go back.
"Carry out His Majesty's wish to set an example, long live the King, the King's will is our will!"
Everyone shouted: "Long live the king, the king's will is our will!" β
Firth smiled and shook her head, listening to her husband's distorted blessing from the king.
Ethel, who had been in the army for several years, couldn't help but curse in his heart: Donkey Day! When did I say that you were a "model of nobility", a model that the king wished to set up?
But it is obviously inappropriate to stop it now, and you can only let Hobart guide everyone "crookedly".
After shouting a few slogans, the wedding returned to normal procedures, and everyone stepped forward to send their blessings.
Under Selena and Freya's explanation, the guests who came to Beckland also understood the meaning of this link, and the nobles also stepped forward to send their blessings.
"Congratulations." Audrey smiled and said, "Hobert, you can't bully Furth, we are all her strong backing." β
Hobert's face was numb with laughter: "Firth is so virtuous, how can I bully her?" β
Virtuous......
Audrey's eyes darkened slightly, but she still kept smiling and completed the process of blessing.
Hugh on the side was pondering, what point of Foirth could be related to virtue?
At this time, the citizens who could not enter the venue shouted: "Bless the lord and the lady!" β
At first, a few people shouted, but then everyone's voices gradually converged, and it was a little magnificent.
Hobert and Foirth also waved to everyone.
Ethel watched Hobert's interactions with his subjects, and there was some worry in his eyes.
The blessings of the people around the scene became louder, and some people said happily: "Look, the lord is waving at me!" β
"Fart! The lord is obviously waving at me! β
After the blessing session, it came to Fenerport's more characteristic cake-cutting session.
The huge eight-story cake is pushed up, and according to custom, the bride and groom compete for the right to cut the cake, as long as whoever has a knife to cut the cake will be in charge of the house in the future.
Of course, this is a custom that makes weddings lively, and this result is not legal and moral.
The way to fight for the power to cut the cake is that whoever takes off one of each other's shoes first can hold a knife, and whether it is the bride and groom can take off each other's shoes, the best man and bridesmaids can also join in the "battle", and even the young people present can join in and help the groom or the bride grab shoes.
In the next chapter, because some of the author's descriptions were too detailed, they were blocked once, and even the chapter names were erased.
I didn't dare to change it after I released it, because I was afraid that it would be sent for review again, and I hope it won't affect everyone's reading.
In addition, thank you for the tip.
