Chapter 804: The Speed ??of Life and Death (10, The Long Wedding)
Chapter 804 The Speed of Life and Death (10, The Long Wedding)
Amidst the solemn music of the wedding march, accompanied by Prince Reuenthar, Adelin and him walked slowly into the Great Demon Temple like a pair of immortals walking out of a fairy tale.
In front of them, a pair of white and tender boys and girls held baskets filled with rose petals, scattering the petals high along the way.
There were also several children behind them, carrying the long back skirts of their wedding dresses, walking up the steps of the temple step by step.
The Great Demon Temple, which was usually covered in dust and only used to collect dust, was now cleaned.
The main hall of the Demon Temple will only be opened during grand celebrations and is not usually open to the public. The small hall behind the main hall is open.
For this wedding, everything in the Demon Temple was even replaced with new ones, and the dark priest guarding the temple did a good job of blood draining for this purpose.
Magic lights were also lit on the surrounding walls.
Unlike the developed light magic of the human race, the dark priests and necromancers are not good at this, because they cannot control many magic materials, and their specialty is combat.
The lights created by the dark mage are slightly pale, and the flames are not stable enough. The flames are getting bigger and smaller, and they are constantly swaying, and they look like they are haunted.
In addition, all the nobles attending the wedding followed the current fashion and applied snow-white powder on their faces. The powder fell off thickly, and wore long and curly wigs with gold powder sprinkled on them.
Stars glowed little by little under the firelight.
And there was bright red lipstick on her mouth. At first glance, she looked like a vampire who had just eaten a dead person.
With that look, you don't need to wear makeup at all when shooting a ghost movie. But people present may not find it strange. This is the most solemn costume nowadays.
On the other side, Xiaobai closed the car and pulled the door with his long nose to confirm that it was closed. As soon as he turned around, he thought something was wrong and pressed the wooden stick on it uneasily, and then he happily followed
Come up.
The guards looked at this little gangster, and although they were heartbroken, they didn't know whether they should let Xiao Bai in.
But looking at the ferocious look on its face, the long snout that was rolled up and beaten by someone just now, and the big feet that are more than eighty inches thick, if one kick was taken, it would be dead.
And judging by his tone, he was very favored by Adelin. Even if he killed someone, he would probably have to admit that he was unlucky.
Therefore, no one dared to stop him and just watched Xiaobai walk towards the temple with his head held high.
Xiao Bai walked to the door happily, and just took a peek and saw the scene inside the hall, the dim hall, the flickering lights, and the people with miserable faces.
Xiaobai was so frightened that he almost fell down. Uncle Xiaobai immediately decided that this place was not fun at all.
Immediately he rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, then raised his eyes to the sky, pretended to whistle, and walked back. This expression looked really similar to Leo's.
But Fiona was watching from the side, and with quick eyes and quick hands, she grabbed its ears as big as cattail fans, held them tightly, and dragged it inside.
Are you kidding me? Those guys are like ghosts. They might suddenly rush up to suck my blood. I'm also scared. I just pointed you, a fat guy, to come over to embolden me. You still want to run away?
Xiaobai was pulled by her ears and struggled hard twice, but he couldn't break free and almost didn't cry.
Fiona glared at Xiaobai fiercely and said, "If you dare to run away, all your money will be confiscated."
It might be life-threatening to go in there, but it will definitely be life-threatening to lose the money.
Xiaobai had no choice but to cry sadly, not daring to raise his head, and then followed Fiona in small steps and moved into the temple.
Seeing its appearance, everyone present was talking about it. It was really honorable to have such a big war elephant and a pure white sacred war elephant as its companion.
Generally speaking, rare animals like this are supporting characters in various legends and heroic epics. Just like sweat-blooded horses, it's not that they don't exist, but they are just rare to see.
There was a slight commotion in the hall, but it soon became quiet.
Amidst the sound of the music, Adeling walked along the red carpet to the steps at the end of the Great Demon Temple.
Then the music stopped, and then a dark priest wearing a dark red robe and a high crown studded with diamonds walked out slowly, holding a thick book in his hand.
He came to the podium on the steps and placed the book on the podium. The heavy book hit the podium and made a muffled sound.
That book is the "Book of the Great Demon God", which records the deeds and words of the Great Demon God, such as not spitting, turning things over to the public after picking up things, obeying the instructions of elders and leaders, etc.
.
The Book of the Archdemon is the holy book of the Semitic people and their guide to life.
Once everyone encounters something that is difficult to solve, they immediately go to find Master An Mu together.
Tribute some cattle, sheep, gold coins and other things to the dark priest. It doesn't matter how much it is anyway. The "Book of the Great Demon God" also stipulates that the sacrifices to the dark priest must not be too small, and the money must be paid. So it is said
It sounds like this book still makes some sense.
After hearing the jingle of the cash box, Uncle An Mu opened the book, then randomly found a paragraph from the middle, and briefly thought about it.
Everyone immediately found a solution to the problem. Then they cheered to the Great Demon God happily: "The Great Demon God is really wise. It turns out that he already knew what to do and even wrote down the instructions in the book.
His elders have said so, so the designation is unmistakable."
Of course, the "Book of the Great Demon God" also said that everything the demon said is correct and absolutely cannot be wrong.
In the end, these dead people suffering from celebrity worship followed the instructions in the book that have never changed over time, such as grabbing a pair of geckos to make soup, and walking three times around a dead tree that was struck by lightning.
When it's done, it's the Great Demon God's wise and powerful bird fish soup.
If you don't do well, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck or not being sincere enough.
Then I secretly rejoiced that I had followed the instructions of the Great Demon God. If I had not followed the instructions of the old man, it might have been so miserable.
No matter what, I will never blame the Great Demon God. Because the Demon God is always right.
Of course, there are also some tricks to be found here.
Among them, satisfying Lord Dark Priest is the most important.
Because Lord Anmu is satisfied, he might tell the other party: blood for blood, eye for eye.
But if Lord Anmu is dissatisfied, he might tell the other person: If someone slaps you on the left cheek, give him the right cheek again.
A nice act of being mean...well, no, a nice act of kindness in return for an evil act.
But no matter what, this "Book of the Great Demon God" is extremely important to these Semitic people, and it affects their lives all the time.
During an argument, once someone memorizes a passage from "The Book of the Great Demon God", say something about what the book says.
Or the great devil teaches us what to do with so and so.
Immediately, no matter whether it was right or wrong, everyone had to keep their mouths shut, and those who were more pious had to read another paragraph.
All in all, this book is extremely important. If we seriously discuss the status of Jianghu, it is equivalent to the "Bible" of Westerners.
Everyone, whether they are getting married or making vows, must put their hands on it.
The only difference is that when the Lingshan people swear, they raise their palms; when the Thunderbolt people swear, they raise the three middle fingers.
For both tribes, it is very important whether to point to the sky with five fingers or with three fingers.
Back then, there were no less nonsense, no less fights, and no less deaths between the two tribes because of this ritual.
Normally, everyone would still argue about this gesture.
But now, everyone is making preparations for marriage, and the high priest has been urging them to get married quickly. It is estimated that no one has the courage to jump out and give advice in this regard.
At this time, the dark priest opened the heavy book, flipped through it for a while, and then shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up."
Xiaobai was shocked when he heard that voice, his big ears immediately stood up, and then his eyes widened as he looked at the dark priest in disbelief.
The Anmu immediately glared at it fiercely, and Xiaobai immediately hummed in resignation, then lowered his head.
With the sound of splashing, all the dignitaries who were in the lobby stood up one after another, then crossed their hands and placed them on their chests. They bowed their heads respectfully.
The An Mu looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Today we are here to witness the wedding of a newlywed couple, His Royal Highness Prince Reuenthar and His Highness Princess Adeling.
First of all, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to His Majesty the Great Demon God.
We, the common people and all creatures, are all his people, and we are all under his protection, so we survive. Thanks to His Majesty the Demon God's kindness and mercy, we, the Semitic race, can prosper.
Here, we sincerely wish His Majesty the Great Demon God a long life!"
The dignitaries below immediately shouted in unison: "May His Majesty the Great Demon God live forever."
The Dark Priest continued: "Secondly, we would like to sincerely thank His Highness the High Priest of the Undead. It is with his help that we can breathe the air, enjoy the sunshine, eat food, and live happily and healthily here..."
In the darkness of the Great Demon Temple, two high-level undead mages who were responsible for monitoring the entire wedding process felt something was wrong at the same time.
They couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment. In their memories, this wedding usually just involves asking the man and the woman if they are willing.
Then they exchange rings, take a bite of each other, and then declare the two people to be husband and wife.
Then all that's left is to go into the bridal chamber, make fire and so on, and do some very pornographic and violent things that are rarely appropriate. Of course, those who get on the bus first and pay for their tickets later are another matter.
I have never been like today, where I have to thank someone first, and then thank someone, and talk about a lot. This is obviously wasting time.
But at this time, they did not make a sound, but stood on one side surprisingly unanimously.
The reason is simple. He is praising his boss, the high priest.
If you interrupt at this time, wouldn't it appear that you are very disrespectful to your boss?
Looking back, if someone talks too much, of course, this person usually refers to the bastard standing next to him now.
What if the grandson said too much and said something bad? It means that when the dark priest was praising the high priest truthfully, the grandson interrupted the dark priest. I think he seems to have a different opinion.
Even if the high priest doesn't take it to heart, he will inevitably be labeled as someone who doesn't know the importance of it, which will greatly affect the development of his official career.
At this time, the dark priest finally came to the end and said: "Let us sincerely thank the high priest for his hard work and good intentions for us over the years, and say a sincere and warm word to him: 'Old man, thank you.
,Thank you for your hard work~!'"
After I finished speaking, my voice was choked up involuntarily.
The nobles below couldn't help but have red eyes, and said loudly: "Old man, thank you, you have worked hard all along~!"
The two lichs also felt that the words were filled with sincere emotions, and they couldn't help but have a green light flash in their eyes, thinking that this person with lightning flash was quite loyal to the high priest.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: These dark herders are indeed people who eat with their mouths. It's really powerful to stir up emotions~!
Don't accept it, if I had the ability to flatter you, I would have been promoted long ago.
At this time, Na Anmu said again: "On this day of universal celebration, let us once again thank the vast number of people stationed in the border areas..."
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in unison, and thought to themselves: Is it still over?
But they didn't dare to say anything. After all, it was such a rare festive day, and everyone had to express their feelings.
If you don't open your eyes and jump out to intervene, people will ask: "Shouldn't we express condolences and care to others?"
Then all the hatred was directed at him.
The people sitting here are all big and small officials. Although they have done a lot of other idiotic things, they still won't do such politically idiotic things.
Adele was talking at this time, but she was also secretly worried. Even though she was in disguise and wanted to come over to cause havoc, but with those two lichs sitting on the side, she would not be able to display her great abilities.
ah.
At this moment, Adele Rao is also a very smart and resourceful person, but she can't come up with any good ideas.
I don’t know how long it took, but she finally couldn’t think of anything to say anymore. In the end, she could only bite the bullet and said: “If anyone has any objections to their wedding and union, please raise it as soon as possible. Don’t say no.
I'm sorry, if you miss it, you won't have the chance. If you have one, just tell me quickly."
As he spoke, he fell silent.
Although she wore a mask on her face and looked calm, her eyes were full of expectation, just waiting for someone to jump out and make a scene at this moment.
But to her disappointment, after waiting for five minutes, the entire venue was still silent. No one dared to jump out.
Adele couldn't help being extremely disappointed and sighed secretly: This is completely different from what is written in those romance novels.
Isn't it said that Lei Shan's men are quite violent? Why are they so stupid at the critical moment?
Due to the long pause, everyone watching the ceremony below was a little impatient. They cast surprised glances at her and gradually began to whisper.
Adele felt something was wrong, and quickly coughed lightly, and then said: "Okay, if no one raises any objection, then please shut up his mouth forever from now on. Stop trying to destroy the marriage of these two people."
She paused, then looked at Prince Reuenthar and said: "Dear..."
At this point, she looked at Prince Reuenthar and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, thinking that this damn title was written by that idiot.
Adele paused for a moment, and then said: "Dear Prince Reuenthal, are you willing to marry Miss Adeling? From now on, whether you are poor or rich, whether in sickness or in health, you will be your wife."
Are you willing to respect her, love her, love each other, and never leave her? Will you love her unreservedly and be loyal to her forever?"
Prince Reuenthal was just about to ask a question.
At this time, Adele added maliciously, saying: "In front of the Great Demon God, you must answer the question truthfully. If you dare to tell half a lie, you will have to live in hell after death.
A pig cage immersed in a river of scalding lava."
"I...I..." Prince Reuenthar paused for a moment, speechless for a moment.
I have to say that Adele is really bad. How could she ask such a question on this wedding day? Isn't it obvious that she is trying to deceive people?
The people below looked at it and started talking about it for a while.
A buzzing sound echoed in the air above the entire hall, as if the tide was coming.
Hearing the discussion among the people, the Grand Consul Skulachman, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly looked livid.
He first glared at Adele fiercely and swore a vicious oath in his heart: No matter whether his son could dip into a pig cage or not, he would definitely throw the shadow priest into the river of rock oar and give him a good dip in the pig cage later.
~!
Immediately, he snorted coldly and said in a deep voice to Prince Reuenthar: "Say~! Are you willing~!"
After saying that, he looked at the precious son with a gloomy face and an angry look. He cursed in his heart: This little brat is still too young. Can I allow you to hesitate at this time? Even if the sky is falling, you have to agree first.
Not to mention the huge benefits involved, there is a very good chance of becoming emperor in the future. Just by maliciously sabotaging the high priest's joint plan, the entire family will be in trouble~!
Intimidated by his majesty, Reuenthar immediately lowered his eyes, and then whispered: "I do."
The An Mu looked at him in surprise, then slammed the book in front of him, spread his hands, and said angrily: "He said he didn't want to, and there's no way to play now. The meeting is over, the meeting is over...
…”
With that said, he turned around and left.
There was a sudden chaos in the Demon Temple, and the guests below started shouting.
At this time, Reuenthal hurriedly shouted: "I said I do, I do~! You are deaf, I said I do."
His voice was so high that it suddenly penetrated the discussion of everyone and resounded throughout the entire hall.
The dark priest still ignored him and walked forward. But suddenly his eyes blurred, and then a black figure blocked the road. He held a white bone staff in his hand, and his eyes were gleaming with phosphorus.
It is none other than the Lich Edwood.
Adele smelled the stench coming from his body and choked so much that she almost fell over. She quickly took a few steps back.
Edwood looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice: "I don't care which family you are from. Go back and don't do anything. I was listening just now..."
When he said this, he paused for a moment. When his eyes glanced at the prince, he was also full of disdain, and then he continued: "His Royal Highness has never said a word 'no'."
Adele couldn't help but laughed twice and rolled her eyes, but in the end she could only return to the podium.
She coughed lightly, and then said: "Everyone, please don't mess up. I just felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so I made a joke with everyone to liven up the atmosphere. I hope you don't take it off, haha, haha.
Ha ha……"
Everyone present immediately looked at her angrily. It would be better not to do this kind of act to liven up the atmosphere. Fortunately, Xuan didn't scare the mentally ill out.
It’s about the great cause of uniting the two races, can it be a joke?
Adele laughed twice. Seeing that everyone was still staring at her fiercely, she hurriedly said: "Let's continue, continue, hahaha..."
She turned to look at Adeling next to her and said: "Dear Princess Adeling, are you willing to marry His Royal Highness Prince Reuenthal? From now on, no matter... no matter what the situation is, you are willing.
Do you accept him as your husband?"
Everyone present suddenly grinned: Where did this dark priest graduate from? It couldn't be Western Pacific. Clayton went to Pheasant Online University, right?
Why is it Adeling's turn? It's so simple, with no explanation of any rights and obligations. In terms of contract law, this is also a typical fraudulent contract~!
But at this time, everyone was unwilling to do anything. They had been standing for such a long time, just listening to the pastor's speech, and their feet were numb.
They are all gritting their teeth and holding on. The older ones may have heart attacks or cerebral thrombosis.
They all looked at Adeling eagerly, hoping that she would agree quickly so that this long wedding could end.
At this time, everything was silent. In the main hall and on the square, everything was quiet.
Adeling hesitated for a moment, then lightly opened her lips and said softly: "I don't want to."
As soon as these words came out, the whole venue suddenly became noisy like a pot exploding.
"I don't want to, why don't I say it at this time~!"
"Isn't this deceiving everyone's feelings?"
"What are you doing?"
"..."
People were talking and making loud noises for a while.
The two lichs looked at each other and saw the dark anger in each other's eyes. They walked up in unison.
Adeling rolled her eyes and immediately pulled out the knife from behind her back. Then she put it on Prince Reuenthar's neck and shouted loudly: "Don't come over, don't come over! Who dares?
Come here, I will kill him with one knife~!"
Seeing her actions, everyone suddenly became silent.
She had to carry a knife when she got married, so it seemed like she was well prepared. This time it was better, the wedding turned into a hostage taking.
