In terms of the magnificence of the buildings, the palace hall of Chambord City can definitely be ranked in the top three among the many dependent countries of the Zenit Empire. All the buildings are all carved and piled up of huge white boulders. In the center is a spacious It is an extremely stone square, and on the east, west, and north stands huge stone pillars 30 to 40 meters high and statues of gods more than ten meters high. Behind the stone pillars and statues is a majestic palace. Enter the Palace Square here.
Tonight's celebration banquet will be held in this huge open-air stone square.
The celebrating crowd has slowly gathered in the square. Six huge bonfires are burning, printing the starry sky red. In the middle of the square, ten huge wooden towers are temporarily erected, all of which are six or seven meters high. The bodies of Chambord soldiers and civilians who died in this battle were placed layer by layer on the top.
The soldiers of the king's guard were clearly dressed and patrolled around the hall and the square with spears in their hands. The civilians put on white light robes. They sang and danced here. Some acrobats turned somersaults back and forth on the ground, and beautiful women held hands Holding hands, running and dancing around the bonfire, people held green branches symbolizing life and hope in their hands, and laughed heartily.
The night was getting darker.
Amidst the sound of horseshoes, Tolbinski, the little prince of the Zenit Empire, finally came to the square with his guard knights. The old handsome Best led his servants to lead the prince and his party to the VIP platform under the giant stone statue in the west. Zenit is a monarchy, so the subjects of Chambord extended a warm welcome to the arrival of the prince, and many fragrant flower petals and clear water were sprinkled on them.
Tolpinski is quite comfortable with such scenes.
At this time, Tolbinski unexpectedly showed the spirit and demeanor of a big prince, with a charming smile on his face, he kept waving to the poor around him. But the cavalry behind the prince obviously didn't like the pariahs of these lowly small countries. Seeing the smiling faces around them, they were tall and arrogant, just like watching their own watchdogs wagging their tails and flattering them. Peace of mind.
Seeing that only Prince Tolbin came to the banquet alone, the old handsome Best was a little disappointed. The eldest princess was the number one person in the mission and was in control of everything, but he had never been able to figure out the attitude of this woman. This banquet was a good opportunity to observe, but the other party did not attend... However, even so, Best still did not neglect at all, and ordered the servants to take care of all the etiquette.
After more than ten minutes, the cheering and dancing crowd finally stopped gradually, and the square became silent.
At this time, two teams of guards wearing gorgeous armor came out of the huge stone hall on the north side of the square, neatly lined up on both sides, and then, under the eyes of everyone, King Alexander led the beautiful fiancee Angela Su Shou slowly appeared on the high steps in front of the hall.
At this time, Fei changed into a set of sky blue royal robes, which fluttered in the wind, which perfectly set off his slender and fit figure. He wore a golden leaf-shaped crown on his head, and his long hair was as black as ink. His eyes are as clear as electricity, his spirit is as rich as jade, his majestic and heroic, his temperament is dusty, the absolute majesty accumulated in the ruthless killings in the past few days and his natural affinity are perfectly combined in this few moments. The man is majestic and luxurious, and looks like a lofty divine residence from a distance, vividly interpreting the demeanor of the king of a country.
Beside him, the beautiful Angela is also wearing a sky blue robe, her waist is gently tied with a gold ribbon, her figure is slender and round, her skin is more crystal clear and delicate than the thousand-year-old snow on the top of the snow mountain, Angela On La's head was a flower corolla woven with various colored flowers, and the girl's hair was blown by the breeze, just like a goddess from the sky descending to the mortal world. People dare not stare at it, and cannot give birth to the slightest blasphemous heart.
The two appeared on the high stone steps with smiles, and easily took away all the brilliance of the entire square in an instant. Instantly lost color.
The citizens of Chambord on the square fell to their knees and shouted 'Long live King Alexander! ’, Many people also discovered for the first time that their own king was so mighty and extraordinary. At this moment, no one could connect the image of the perfect king in front of them with the stupid idiot Alexander before them. They knelt down humbly On the square, shout with your own life and soul.
Prince Tolbinski, who was sitting on the VIP table of the huge stone god statue in the west of the square, couldn't help standing up from his seat. During the day, he was very dismissive of the rumored king, even if he came to the banquet now , He also came here with the mentality of watching jokes and making trouble. Originally, he had no doubts about his magnanimity and handsomeness. He thought that as long as he stood on the square, he could immediately take away everyone's glory... But now, the dignified empire At this moment, the prince suddenly couldn't help feeling ashamed. Looking at the group of young men and women in the world in the main hall in the distance, the little prince was surprised to find that what he had previously thought about this country, this country The dissatisfaction and disdain of the castle and the king disappeared in an unbelievable speed.
It's just that the prince didn't notice. The guards and cavalry behind him didn't feel this way. Beside the prince, a stout knight in red cloak with full body armor was staring at Angela on the stone steps in the distance. Greed, amazement, and obscenity surged in the depths of his eyes, and the dozens of guards and cavalry around the knight did not hide the obscenity in their eyes at all.
Square on the edge.
No one noticed that under the shadow of the last stone statue of the worshiping crowd, three people in black cloaks were quietly hidden in the dim shadows. When they saw King Alexander and Angela coming out, the figure standing at the front suddenly let out a "huh" in a soft and weak voice, as if recovering from a serious illness. The tone seemed quite surprised. Such a performance, Jean stood behind him and the two looked at each other. They had never seen such a surprised expression from the person in front of them...
After the king and the future queen appeared, the carnival on the square finally stopped gradually.
The atmosphere began to look solemn and solemn, and the crowd was consciously making way for a passage. Fei and Angela walked down the high stone steps and walked slowly to the ten tents in the center of the square that were temporarily built with logs. Below the wooden tower.
The atmosphere became more dignified.
The continent of Azeroth has been in constant wars since ancient times. A large number of soldiers died in battle every day. Burying these dead soldiers has become a huge time-consuming project and wastes a lot of land. In order to prevent this from happening, the tradition of cremation and burning of soldiers and soldiers has been formed a long time ago. Whether they are kings, nobles, poor people, or slaves, they will be sent to wooden towers for incineration after they die in battle. People believe that in this way, soldiers souls can be redeemed, and they will be with God of War in the Kingdom of God.
According to the traditional etiquette knowledge that he had mastered with the help of Angela before, Fei walked up the ladder of the wooden tower, turned around and took golden coins from Angela's hand, and put them in the eyes of the soldiers who died in battle. Up—This is also a tradition in Azeroth. People believe that covering the eyes of fallen soldiers with coins can help them reopen their eyes in the fire and find the correct path to heaven.
This is a tedious job.
Chambord City lost a total of 131 brave soldiers in this defense battle. Originally, there were special personnel to place coins for these soldiers who unfortunately died in battle, but Fei unexpectedly insisted that all of this was done by him. Do it yourself. According to the tradition, only those nobles with high status or heroes who have made contributions to the king are eligible to receive such treatment from the king. Sun Fei's actions have given these ordinary soldiers and soldiers unprecedented glory.
Obviously, this is another move by someone to win people's hearts.
There was no one talking in the square, and even the wind seemed to have stopped. Only a few women in black robes equivalent to temple priests on the stone steps of the main hall in the distance were singing an ancient and vicissitudes ballad. It doesn't have any melody content, but it is sung in this continent. It is a spiritual song to send off relatives.
Under everyone's attention, Fei patiently covered the eyes of each fallen soldier with coins, and then personally ignited the vanilla under them with a torch. The fire raged and devoured the king's body , The families who lost their loved ones cried bitterly...
This process went on for an hour.
Afterwards, when the fire finally burned the soldiers' corpses and the ten wooden towers into ashes, the atmosphere in the square eased up, and the crying people stopped slowly, and the remaining ashes were taken care of by the soldiers and doctors. Concentrate and put it into a huge black coffin. After twelve days, this coffin will be buried in the highest peak of the mountain range on the east side of Chambord City on the Cloud, so that the souls of the warriors can be buried on the first day of each day. See the beautiful sunrise on the horizon at a glance - this is the tradition of Chambord itself.
After doing all this, the atmosphere in the square became cheerful and lively again.
People began to sing and dance to celebrate the victory of the war. The crazy atmosphere became hot with the burning bonfire in the middle of the square. Men, women, old and young held hands and danced. Even the soldiers guarding the square joined in the singing and laughing. In the crowd, Fei and Angela were also pulled into the crowd by some enthusiastic girls laughing. During the celebration, there was no distinction between high and low. The prince and the knight followers behind him were also invited to join the crowd.
Women laughed and walked through the crowd holding high their plates full of fruit and barbecue.
The little prince Tolbinski was infected by such an atmosphere. At this time, he finally let go of all his previous arrogance and indifference, and looked more like a seventeen-year-old child, holding hands with a group of boys and girls to besiege the city They ran and danced around the bonfire in a big circle, like a bird that finally flew out of the cage, dancing happily.
However, neither Tolbinski nor anyone else noticed that the stout knight and cavalry in the red cloak who stood behind him laughed and squeezed towards the very center of the square, with malicious expressions on the corners of their mouths. With a grinning grin, his eyes were shining, and it was hard to describe the lewdness in it.
And in the direction where they squeezed past, in the center of the square, Angela, who was as pure as a goddess, was dancing happily with the blond-haired little Lori Gemma and a group of little sisters. The girl smiled happily, and her peerless face was full of smiles. And happiness, like a changed little angel.
