There is no doubt that Sazha Fort has become the most eye-catching place in the entire Cossack land.

Including Gettleman, almost all the Ataman came here.

Therefore, the city seems extremely crowded, and the open space outside the city walls has been turned into a tent area, filled with guests.

Of course, among these ataman there are friends of Herme, such as Volod, and there are also people whom Herme does not like, such as Semyon.

But everyone who comes is a guest, so you must entertain them with enthusiasm and leave a deep impression on them.

Many Atamans and Cossacks were surprised and astonished by Heme's wealth. They all knew that Heme was rich, but they did not expect that Heme could be so rich.

Hemei gave a lot of gold and silver to the guests. The value of the coins given was much higher than the gifts sent by the guests. Everyone was very happy about this.

And Hemei didn't do this just to throw away money. On the one hand, it was to show his generosity, and on the other hand, he knew that the money would come back sooner or later.

As for why he said this, it is because Hemei has been using commerce to harvest the leeks of the Cossack Land. Sooner or later, the money can be harvested back, and it may be able to further stimulate consumption.

As for the Cossack land that was cut off, they also had a way to move it, that is, to cut the leeks of Haklan. This was a drum-passing, whoever was the unluckiest at the end.

The most unlucky people at the moment are of course the Harklan people. As for their life and death? No one cares.

Gettleman gave the most amazing gifts, including various exquisite handicrafts including Chimera specimens, as well as a large amount of gold, silver, cattle and sheep - but considering that this was actually Katya's dowry, this amount was not very surprising.

.

The amount of resources that Gettleman provided undoubtedly represents the importance he attaches to his daughter. He only has one daughter, so he naturally has to give more dowry to support his daughter.

Hermei's gift was naturally very exaggerated, and Commander Harklan gave him an exquisite crown with various gems on it.

This is a crown that must have a typical Cossack style. Under the expensive jewelry and gold and silver, there is a warm, cuffed leather hat, which is completely cool to wear.

This is a crown that represents power that Hermey made for her father-in-law. Although her father-in-law didn't smile when he accepted the gift, Hermey could tell from those small gestures that he still liked it very much.

In addition, the amount of various gold and silver is even more exaggerated, so exaggerated that everyone familiar with it is amazed by it.

According to tradition, after both parties count the amount of dowry and bride price, the marriage begins. Although everything is done like a transaction, this is the essence of marriage in this era.

Then naturally came the scene of the ceremony. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Herme and Katya took their marriage vows in front of the priests of Melitelli, with Rastit naturally standing by as a witness.

Then, according to tradition, Katya "takes off her boots" for Khme.

This is a new tradition developed by northerners after they came to Hacklan. It is very characteristic of Hacklan and has been continued ever since.

The so-called "boots off" literally means taking off boots. Katya took off his boots for Herme, who played the role of the male host.

This represents the submission and subordination expressed by the hostess to the male host, and also represents the hostess's identity as a housekeeper, and also represents her joining in Hemei's family.

Finally, Katya put on new boots for Hermey, and at this moment, the ceremony was completely over.

They performed the ceremony on the steps of the main castle of Sazha Fort, and countless pairs of eyes were watching them.

At this moment, everyone watching the ceremony gave out loud cheers to express their blessings to the newlyweds.

However, the main thing in the hearts of Hemei and Katya was not joy, but relief. Finally, they had finally completed this set of steps.

Next, there was naturally crazy joy, and the sound of feasting filled the streets and alleys of Sazarburg.

Artists who had been waiting for a long time came out of the waiting room to praise their skills to the crowds in the square and on the road; musicians everywhere played joyful music in unison, giving the banquet a joyful color; there were also various people from the Cossack Land.

Prostitutes are attracted from everywhere, now is a good time to work.

The theater troupe and acrobatic troupe Heme invited from Aden were all performing on a large scale, and Heme wanted everyone who attended the wedding to be deeply impressed.

So there were various performances continuously from morning to afternoon. Of course, our Master Dandelion took the stage. He also proved his strength and won the cheers and praise of the entire city.

Then came lunch. Although lunch was not the highlight, but more of an interlude meal for watching the performance, it was also very sumptuous, and everyone was overwhelmed with all kinds of food. One plate after another was served to the top.

There are a variety of dishes to choose from, and everyone can eat with enthusiasm and satisfaction.

But after all, lunch is just a transition. The most important and best thing is dinner. Lunch just fills the stomach. Everyone ends lunch quickly. There are more performances this afternoon.

This entire afternoon, Sazha Fort was filled with joy. Many people will always remember this day. In the midst of their busy and tiring lives, when they think of the grand scene, they will all laugh involuntarily.

During this time, Hemei and Katya were actually quite tired.

They are not just sitting leisurely on the high platform, they are actually busy all the time.

There were so many guests arriving this time, and they were all powerful figures in the Cossack land, and there were even a few Harklan chiefs who had good relations with the Cossacks.

Naturally, these people cannot be left in the cold, so Hermey and Katya naturally have to receive them personally and have a few words with them.

And the personalities of these people are also different. Some people can get away with it after just a few drinks, while some people are very difficult to deal with and ask very tricky questions.

Just like that Xie Miao, this guy has a straight face all day long, and his pale eyes look at people as if they were looking at dead people, which makes people very uncomfortable. All the questions he asks are directed at tricky people.

Go.

But fortunately, Katya resolutely followed Hemei's tune and never tried to discredit Hemei, otherwise it would be difficult for him to answer some questions.

After so much fussing, it’s almost done, and this is the highlight.

The food and drinks provided by Hemei were even more generous. Rounds of cheese were pushed out, the smell of barbecue could be seen everywhere, and the bread was piled up like a mountain.

Barrels filled with beer or vodka are placed on the edge of the square. Anyone who is willing can pick up a glass of cool or spicy liquid and pour it into their mouth, and there is no limit to these things.

Everyone was eating and drinking. Such an opportunity for indulgence was rare. All the seats were full.

And here, whether they were northern immigrants or Cossacks, whether they were non-human races or humans, whether they were nobles or civilians, in such a banquet, everyone forgot all the daily conflicts, and everyone drank and talked happily together.

And in the hall of Sazha Fort, the enjoyment of Ataman and distinguished guests would be even better.

The tableware here is all higher-end, with only wooden bowls and wooden spoons outside. You have to bring your own daggers for cutting meat.

But here, the tableware is all silver.

Everyone was impressed by Hemei's generosity, but this is not the focus of what follows.

Roast pork stuffed with apples, lobster fried with garlic, lamb roasted with spices, steak fried over high heat, and duck cooked with butter and beans...

Of course, there are some things here that don't seem to be available in Sazha Castle, but Sazha Castle has warlocks.

The warlocks have a skilled magic system for obtaining seafood.

Dilban cast a spell to catch these seafood that were still on the seabed or on the beach, so Sazha Fort could eat these fresh seafood, and the Cossacks who had never eaten seafood were naturally very happy.

Would love to taste these things.

In order to cook food for so many people, Herme hired all the chefs in the entire Sazha Castle, among which the chef from the famous Golden Spoon Tavern in this town personally cooked for the seats in the main castle.

Therefore, everyone can imagine the high quality of the food.

Everyone had a great time eating, and on such an occasion, how could wine be omitted? Pots of Toussaint East and Hackland Vodka were passed around the table, and there were always people shouting for new wine.

Send it up quickly.

Whether inside or outside the castle, there are lights everywhere. This is the financial system of Heme. The night banquet is a very luxurious thing, and now Heme is inviting the entire residents and guests of Sazha Fort to attend his night banquet.

The demon hunters, mercenaries, dwarves and warlocks who were invited to such an environment for the first time were also able to be in the hall of the main castle. As the heroes who defeated the Wild Hunt, they could naturally attend.

The marauders and dwarves were eating and drinking crazily inside. They rarely encountered such a good opportunity. They put big chunks of meat into their mouths and then drank it with vodka. The attitude was really wild.

The griffons, knights and warlocks were very decent, dining as elegantly as nobles. The former two were due to their strict requirements and were not allowed to indulge in their wild affairs, while the latter were due to the fact that they were in school and at various banquets.

I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this kind of scene.

The snake sects gathered around Ivar Evil Eye for a quiet meal, just like a group of snakes dining peacefully, and exuded a strong "keep away from strangers" signal.

Geralt was explaining to Vizmir and Lambert how to make money in the land of Cossacks. He suggested that they hunt ratmen first, and it would be best to kill the female ratcatcher. This monster is still active.

The reward amount is quite high.

Dorregaray did not make a fuss this time, because he did not see the sorceresses who used the furs of "precious animals" (referring to monsters) to make clothes and accessories, nor did he see these sorceresses who were posing and thinking all the time.

It was full of guys sleeping with men, so he was in a very good mood.

Master Dandelion sang his poems during the banquet, activating the atmosphere of the whole place. Everyone was very happy to enjoy the food and watch Dandelion's performance at the same time.

While Dandelion was performing, he also did not forget to show his kindness to the beautiful lady in the crowd, and our Master Dandelion was as successful as ever in love.

He has determined that there are at least three beautiful girls for him to choose tonight, but which one to choose? Ah, it is really a headache.

At this time, Hemei was quite relaxed. So many processes were finally completed. All she had to do next was enjoy the delicious food while waiting for the night.

While enjoying himself, he also watched the scene at the venue, looking at the serious or dissolute postures of these people, as if he was appreciating the various expressions of the world as his own snack.

However, Katya was not in such a good mood as Hemei. Although she was liberated after the formalities were finally over and socialized with a large group of friends, she could never be as calm as Hemei.

Because when Hermey was focusing on and enjoying the present, she had been thinking about the bridal chamber that night. Thinking of those things, she couldn't help but feel a fever on her face, and the fever was still very severe.

As Gettleman's daughter, it was natural for someone to teach her these things, and it was precisely because she was taught that she had such an attitude, which is really embarrassing.

However, since Katya has always been very good at controlling her facial expressions, in the eyes of others, she still has a poker face every day. It is estimated that only Gettleman has noticed such a psychological change in her daughter.

So Gettleman patted his daughter on the shoulder, startling Katya, and then took Herme by the shoulder to the observation deck of the main castle, where they wanted to have some men's conversations.

Both of them were a little drunk, but their steps were still very steady, and the alcohol did not affect their activities.

As for Katya, looking at the two people holding hands, she breathed out slowly, looked at the time, and then she also left her seat and went to her and Hemei's room.

Calculating the time, it was almost time for her to prepare for something.

"Ah, I really didn't expect that you could actually reach this point. Even in my best expectations, you wouldn't be like this."
