Volume 5 Echoes from the Sky Chapter 25 The Wedding Feast
In Janice's worried gaze, Arthur Shi Ran walked downstairs with a slight thought on his face. Janice had no choice but to be patient, and when the garden party was over and there were only the two of them left in the carriage, Janice couldn't help asking, "How is it, what does the Duchess think of this marriage?"
Arthur smiled and pulled at his collar, "What do you say? I guess she's already crushed on me, and she can't wait to marry me!"
"It's going to be nonsense. Janice said angrily. Seeing Arthur's triumphant appearance, he couldn't help but twist his hand around his waist. Arthur immediately fought back with a painful cry and fought hard with Janice before letting her go.
Although Arthur is exaggerating, it is not unfounded, and when the Duchess looks at the poetry she has translated, the calmness on her face collapses a little, revealing unbelievable joy. Arthur knew it was a success.
Sure enough, the Duchess's questioning was no longer difficult. It became commonplace, and especially in poetry, when I wanted to discuss it with Arthur. It is also used by Arthur as "Poetry is a burst of inspiration, it exists in itself, and I just stumbled upon it."
The Duchess at once approving: "Poetry is art and not technology, and I see, Mr. Arthur, I am abrupt." "It's not that the Duchess is easy to deceive, but it's like a peerless master throwing the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Nine Yang Divine Skill in front of you, and you want to discuss the practice of the Iron Sand Palm with him, which is not only meaningless, but also simply offensive.
The importance of the first impression is that if a good template is established at the beginning, then no matter what words and deeds, it will make people associate good aspects, people will unconsciously beautify and enrich the role in their hearts, and trust their own judgment, people are not happy to oppose themselves.
Arthur himself has accumulated too much knowledge, and after coming to this world, reading is also one of his habits. Although it is probably not as deep as the beautiful woman in front of her. But in terms of breadth, it is enough to pull her for 108,000 miles. To put it simply, the amount of information about each other is no longer on the same level. It's easy to deal with.
"Arthur, are you really, going to marry Nina?" Janice's words interrupted Arthur's memories.
"Isn't that obvious?" said Arthur as a matter of course. There are pros and cons to things, so why not do it?
"Will you hurt Nina?" Janice's words were full of hesitation, obviously reassuring her good friend.
"Maybe!" Arthur's answer was very casual, just a woman who wanted to kill herself, although she didn't pay much attention to it, and considering Janice's feelings, Arthur didn't intend to hold on to it. He would never want to touch Nina with love because of her beauty.
Janice grabbed Arthur's arm with both hands and pleaded, "Please don't hurt her, okay?"
"You're not afraid that she'll hurt me. Arthur said expressionlessly. But there is a meaning of teasing in my heart.
Janice looked down, remembering that Arthur had almost died at Janice's hands because of herself. Thinking that Arthur was still blaming her for this, thinking about his best friend, plus the most special friend in front of him. felt a grievance in his heart, but his eyes were already red.
Arthur looked at Janice, who had fallen silent, and her shoulders began to tremble. I couldn't help but say helplessly: "I'm just joking! Don't cry so easily!"
"It's all you!"
"Don't worry, I won't touch a single hair of Miss Nina, and even if she is stripped naked and lying on the bed, I won't look at her. I will guard my chastity for you. ”
"What kind of chastity do you have!" Janice burst into tears and laughed.
"I'll tell you a secret. Arthur looked cautious.
"What?" Janice asked.
"Actually, I'm still a virgin. ”
"You give me death. ”
......
The wedding came quickly, but not very grandly. But this is also to be expected, Caesar V has many children, and there are seventeen daughters alone, and it is impossible to have any national weddings. But after all, she is a princess, and now she wants to marry a nobody like Arthur, and it is not much worth showing off.
But only the person in the sentence can understand the meaning. One represents a neutral druid (at least in the eyes of humanity) that is finally beginning to tilt to one side. You know, even a radical Druid group like Bloodthorn has always maintained absolute neutrality among humans. But in the face of interests, positions are worthless, or rather, people will have positions, but organizations will not have positions, and the larger the organization, the more so.
Help the military powers in the empire of mankind, where the interests of the ground are obvious. But Arthur always had a sense that the benefits were more than that.
If Anthony doesn't say it, Arthur doesn't know, and even Anthony probably doesn't. Daddy Andrew probably knows the truth, but he will never say it.
But it doesn't matter if you don't know, after seeing the grandeur of the battle between gods and demons, the intrigues and tricks in the world seem petty. And Arthur will eventually go to his own stage, which may be based on the continent of De Grass, but it is by no means limited to the continent of de Grass. Including the earth he crossed over, it may become a fighting ground in the future.
And the basis of all this is strength. And Arthur now gets a part of the power he wants.
Although the scale is not large, it is just as lively, and many high-level appearances representing Germany and Bloodthorn appear, but it is like there
Neither of the other's families showed up. Anthony was also the president, and he was free to attend any meeting. Caesar V probably had a similar reason!
The end result is a strange atmosphere at the wedding. Arthur and Nina are at best the two little people at the top of the big cake, with great symbolic and practical significance. But the two of them probably breathed a sigh of relief at the same time!
On the wedding night, Arthur didn't touch Nina a single hair as promised, although he is ** now, she probably no one cares. One is the agreement with Janice, and the other is that there are more important things that he needs to deal with.
He opened the gift again, but only opened one, the wedding gift given by the Duchess on behalf of the general—the crystal armor.
I just opened the box, but I didn't see the contents inside. Arthur clearly judged that this was what he was looking for. The breath of the earth element contained in it does not disperse at all, but it is condensed like substance. Resonating fiercely with Arthur's Earthheart, it's safe to assume that this is part of Quincy's suit.
But when Arthur opened the box completely, only to find that it was empty, Arthur was shocked, could it have been stolen? But the elements inside were so angry that he couldn't fake it at all, and tentatively reached out to the box, and soon touched an invisible barrier. It turns out that this crystal armor is colorless and transparent. Perform a flash of light, and the light and shadow are intertwined to outline the appearance of the crystal battle armor. The shape is simple and quaint, and although it is transparent, it exudes an aura full of power.
When I picked it up, I realized that this armor was very light. It's even much lighter than normal light armor.
Arthur immediately took off his upper clothes and tried to put the crystal armor on his body, but a new problem arose, and it was also a problem that the previous owners of the crystal armor could not solve - it was a pair of armor that could not be worn.
Warframes are in their own right. There is no lock, and it is difficult to put on the body. Very skinny people or children can get in, but the armor doesn't make any sense. This is also the reason why the great general would put it on the shelf, and Caesar V easily accepted the conditions of the Bloodthorn! What cannot be used has no value in itself.
And the historical value or artistic value of the Crystal Battle Armor Land is certainly not within the scope of these people's considerations
But Arthur was undeterred, took a deep breath, and was about to resonate with the Earth Elemental Realm.
"Ahh Arthur frowned and turned back, Nina was looking at him cautiously, and she had a short sword in her hand.
"Are you crazy?" asked Arthur unceremoniously. Conveniently put the crystal armor into the space ring, and secretly laughed at his eagerness for a while, since he has already obtained it, there will be opportunities to use it in the future, but there is no need to rush for a while. If the room is bright on the wedding night, then it is called strange!
Not knowing how to speak, she sat on the bed with her sword hidden, ready to wait for Arthur to come and share her arms with him. The last time she failed, she attributed it to falling into Arthur's trap, and if there was another time there was no reason to fail. Although he didn't dare to actually kill Arthur, it was okay to teach him a lesson.
Although Janice had told her that Arthur would not touch her, she naturally didn't believe it in her heart, just by Arthur's performance that night. That's why first impressions are important.
Just when Nina was full of confidence and waited for Arthur to come. Arthur didn't come at all, but didn't know what to do outside. Nina waited left and right, but her restless heart could not calm down, but became more and more uneasy.
Such a night raises a woman's insecurity and vigilance to the highest together, and Nina, who is extremely impatient, finally can't help but go out and take a look, and sees Arthur ** body alone and doesn't know what to do.
Instinctively screamed.
"Don't you want to touch me tonight. Nina's voice was as cold as ice, but there was a feeling of inwardness. was supposed to rush up with a sword to teach Arthur a hard lesson, but when he saw Arthur's impatient eyes, he suddenly became angry. The horrors of that night have left a shadow. Is there some conspiracy? Is taking a step forward a trap? Is it better to stay put? All kinds of victim fantasies make Nina's thoughts change from offense to defense. From wanting to teach Arthur a lesson to not wanting to be touched by Arthur.
"To be honest, I don't want to touch you. Arthur's words were very calm, and there was no emotion. "But you'd better stay away from me. ”
Ni was a little overwhelmed, and the plot seemed to be beyond her design.
Arthur took off his wedding ring and threw it into a large vase in the corner, making a tinkling sound.
"You can act as if it didn't happen today, and you can do it as before. There are only two points that you must abide by. One, don't play any masked games. Second, don't go to other men to have a spring. The rest is up to you. ”
Nina sneered, "I wasn't going to think it had happened. And what if I go find another man?" Nina took off the ring from her hand and threw it in a vase.
"I'll kill you, really, Miss Nina, don't be angry about this kind of thing. Maybe one day, we will dissolve this relationship, but until then, that's the only thing I can ask of you. Arthur's expression was calm and serious.
Ni wanted to refute, but looking at Arthur's murderous eyes, her heart was cold, and she couldn't speak. ()
