Chapter 1,198 The Ceremony Begins

*************************************************** *************************************************** *****

Judging from the momentum, Artoria's team looked more like a king on a tour.

"Brother, come on."

Lena's little hand gently slipped out of my palm, took a step back, and encouraged me.

Why do you want to add more fuel? Do you think that I, my brother, will become frustrated in front of Artoria now? uh-huh.

Sorry, I'm bragging, it's very frustrating, but in terms of personality charm, I really can't compare with Artoria. At this time, I can only use the protagonist's halo to cheat...

Nani, Arturia also has the aura of a protagonist? !

Absolutely, I despair of this ruthless world where even though they are a very close couple, they have to secretly compete on behalf of two different races!

The two teams met at a fork in the road. Originally, if Artoria and I were not married, we would have been like two track and field athletes sprinting, keeping a clear distance between each other, putting friendship first and competition second. Big flag, secretly you are competing with me, and you have to compete with each other at an angle of 360 degrees from the sky, south, north, north to the universe and the stars.

Unfortunately, this is just an assumption. Arturia and I are a couple with a good relationship.

As a result, the soldiers of the two tribes who were gearing up, staring at each other like red-eyed bullfights, and snorting thick breath from their nostrils, were embarrassed to find that the people they wanted to protect walked together, and the two teams also crossed paths. piece.

What could be better than in the final sprint of a 100-meter race, when you were about to fight to the death, but the race suddenly became a two-person, three-legged match, and the two people who were originally going to compete for the first place were tied together and moved forward together, and both were prosperous. What would be more embarrassing if one loses both?

At least for now, the soldiers of the two races have not been found, so they can only silently accept this most embarrassing setting.

Fortunately, the camp now has more than two races: Alliance and Elves. Although their biggest competitors have become teammates, which makes them feel like they are punched in the air, there are still Orcs and Horadrics. At least they have to be allowed to Look at the majesty of our clan.

Oh, I almost forgot, there are dwarves... dwarves... let's forget it.

"Good morning, Artoria."

I began to appreciate the fact that the two of us were husband and wife, which prevented me from using too formal words and demeanor and not appearing too abrupt.

"Good morning."

Wearing a blue velvet cloak with a slightly open slit, the former god vaguely revealed the luster of the silver armor, revealing a graceful and noble aura. Such a majestic appearance made people almost dare not raise their heads to look at Al. Tolia was looking me up and down with a smile, and the golden hair on her forehead was turning.

"The very fitting cloak, was it made by Willas?"

"How do you know?" I expressed surprise at Artoria's keen awareness.

"Being able to make such suitable clothes and possessing such craftsmanship, Willas has the best chance, isn't it?"

Arturia smiled, and gently raised her little hand, which was in charge of hundreds of millions of lives of the entire elven race, but made people feel extra delicate, in front of me.

"How perceptive, my Queen."

Taking Artoria's little hand, out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally fell on Beja behind her.

Oops, I'm so sorry. I'm too short. I didn't see her just now, but our little Princess Beja was right in front of me.

Casting such a teasing look at the other party, I originally thought that this beautifully dressed elf princess would immediately fly into a rage. Even if not, she would have to take three deep breaths and puff her mouth high.

Unexpectedly, she was looking at herself with wide eyes, seemingly unaware of my malicious gaze just now.

Could it be that... you are fascinated by how handsome I look today?

Although I really want to think so, the most enviable and jealous elves are indispensable for handsome men and beauties. Just any male elf in this elf team can compare with myself, so It would be better to get rid of this idea as soon as possible.

Then what surprised this girl is worth pondering.

Bah, bah, bah, this idiot Wu, it’s disgusting how serious he is, and he keeps saying that I’m pretending to be mature, hypocritical, hypocritical idiot! !

At this time, Beya was cursing in her heart, and she felt very wronged.

Why is it okay for this guy to just pretend, and I want to imitate Sister Alto, but he rubs my head and laughs at me like a short little girl, who is so arrogant even though she is obviously an idiot.

Huh, I just dress nicer. I usually look like a dog, but now I just look like a human. Compared with Sister Alto, she is still a huge step away.

Beiya's pretty face turned red and hot due to anger, and her big, watery eyes were glaring fiercely at the broad back walking in front of her.

At least, that's how it seems to others.

After greeting Elder Lyman, the team, which had nearly doubled in size, attracted more people’s attention on the road. Most of their eyes fell on Arturia and I, who were holding hands and walking in the middle. On the body.

"Fan, you have become more presentable." Arturia turned her face sideways and nodded gently to those who were looking at her, but she spoke to me.

"Um?"

I followed Artoria's gaze in confusion, and saw that everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her, including those who often laughed and said after getting drunk in the bar. The idiot adventurer who said, "So what if the Elf Queen comes?"

There is something a bit domineering about my elf wife.

"Although you can't tell it at ordinary times, as I guessed, Fan will definitely become an excellent leader."

After saying hello to the cheering crowd, Artoria turned around, faced me, and gave me a dazzling smile that made me squint my eyes.

Although you can’t usually see it...? It felt like Arturia had complained unintentionally.

"I can't help it. If I don't work hard at the critical moment, I won't be worthy of an excellent wife like you."

With a frown on my face, I was a little embarrassed to be praised (complained?) by Artoria like this.

"Don't worry, Fan just needs to do what you think is right. No matter when, I will be by your side. Didn't you agree? If Fan is the sword that cuts through the darkness, then I will be yours." Shield, the sword will not be broken, and the shield will not be broken.”

Another delicate little hand covered the back of my palm, tightly wrapped by two small hands. She gently turned sideways and looked solemnly at Al with her pair of green eyes full of strong will. Tolia's tone was also firm and confident.

"I believe that as long as we, as husband and wife, work together, there is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome."

"After you said this, I now want to challenge the Three Demon Gods with confidence."

I looked at Arturia with admiration, who radiated light as bright as the sun. She was such a person who made people feel that as long as she was around, no matter what she did, the future would be full of light and confidence. "That won't work. I won't accompany Fan to make a fool of myself, and I will tie Fan back tightly." Arturia turned her pretty face to the other side, frowning as if she was having trouble, and closed her eyes. said loudly.

Oh oh oh, I didn’t expect this idiot... to do such cute things. It’s so cute.

Fortunately, when Artoria and I were whispering, the surrounding soldier guards cleverly increased the density of the surrounding area, making it difficult for people standing outside to see the expressions and conversations between Artoria and me. Otherwise, As a husband, I will be so regretful that my pillow will be wet from tears tonight.

Of course, it’s not that no one can see it at all. For example, the little girl Beya, who has been giving creepy looks from behind, her eyes widened, and her cute and pointed elf ears are all. He stood up, looking surprised as if he had suddenly received a cultural shock of 9999 points.

In the past, Beja would not have believed that the mature and majestic sister Alto, whom she admired, could...actually show such a little...little woman-like expression so naturally.

If the elves who admire Alto's sister saw this scene, should they cry or laugh?

"Speaking of which, the fox tribe and the werewolf tribe...oh, it came as soon as I mentioned it."

Arturia and I stopped the team and looked at the smoke and dust coming from the distance from the crowd who had made way for a passage.

Even though we were so far apart that it was hard to tell which clan the team was from, my heart felt bright. It was the aura of that pretty fox.

Sure enough, after a while, the vague figure of the fox tribe appeared in sight, and the fox tribe came with them.

As a medium-sized tribe, the size and strength of the fox tribe cannot be compared with the alliance elves and dwarves. Although this is not a big deal, we will not take a strong stance at the negotiation table because of this, but the other side also has its opponents. His self-esteem is the weakest among his allies, so anyone would feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, when the alliance formed an alliance with the fox-man and werewolf tribes, the two old neighbors, the fox-man and werewolf, seemed to have hugged each other in private and had a closer offensive and defensive alliance.

The two races combined have a population of millions. Although it is still very small compared to the hundreds of millions of elves and alliances, in a bitter and cold land like Harrogath, the race that can survive cannot just survive. Judging by quantity, for example, there can be one adventurer out of a thousand people in the alliance, maybe one out of a hundred people from the fox-human and werewolf tribe, and even if they are also civilians, they must be in Harroga. The one on Si's side is stronger and braver.

The best example is the barbarian clan. As the hometown of barbarians, Harrogath has only a few million barbarians in total. However, for example, if the elves have some reason, If they want to occupy Harrogath City, even with Artoria as their leader, they will face a tough battle that they may not be able to win.

Although there are factors here including the right time and place, the quality and quantity of the warriors who came out of that bitter cold land cannot be denied in any case. Although the fox, human and werewolf races do not have naturally powerful bodies like the barbarians, they do have the most powerful bodies. An agile warrior and the most cunning mage.

Sure enough, the warriors of the werewolf tribe and the fox tribe came together together. Although there were only fifty or sixty of them in total, their bodies were not very tall, but they had something incomparable to the elves and the alliance. The buttocks are deeply hidden, and ordinary people cannot detect the strong temperament.

The three of them, Little Fox, Grand Elder Mamaga and Chris, took the lead and walked side by side at the front.

In fact, it’s not like I haven’t thought about it. The main reason why Elder Mamaga was opposed to me and the little fox was probably that she wanted the little fox and Chris to get together and make the relationship between the two races closer.

It's a pity that she has never been the kind of leader who will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, and the little fox and Chris can't go as she wishes. Chris is in love with Anya, and Tianhu's innate infatuation is doomed for Mamaga. Even if I have such thoughts, they are purely yy and have nothing to do with any real people or events.

"You bad guy, what are you doing?"

When he came back to his senses, he saw the little fox glaring at him fiercely.

Facts have proved that every time you meet the little fox, there is an 80% chance of triggering her to show such a fierce and glaring expression. However, knowing her character well, I feel that this is done to cover up the shyness and joy in my heart. Her arrogant posture is really cute, so I never planned to protest about it. If one day, this little fox suddenly comes up to her cutely, whispering softly, and casting flirtatious glances, I will wonder if she is With some kind of ulterior conspiracy.

"snort!!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to have secretly caught sight of Arturia and I holding hands. The little fox immediately let out a cold snort, wagging its tail, turned its head and greeted the others without waiting for me to speak.

It's really too much.

Seeing the way I curled my lips, Prince Smiling probably thought of him and Anya, and patted my shoulder with sadness, as if we were both fallen from the world.

Go, go, who is the same as you? My little fox is just being arrogant.

On the other side, the alliance and elf soldiers, who were trying to show off their momentum to the orc warriors, were also dumbfounded.

Just like another two-person three-legged team being caught up, he patted his shoulder, gave a thumbs up and smiled cheerfully: "Hey, comrade, don't you want to have a shot?"

The result was a four-person, five-legged team.

The soldiers of the fox, werewolf and werewolf clans were also dumbfounded. They were planning to let these guys know that although our numbers are small, our quality is high and we are not an opponent who can cook whatever you want.

Following closely behind the two tribes of foxes and wolves, the team of the Horadric tribe arrived. The lineup of all mages immediately heightened their momentum. At least in the eyes of civilians, mages should be the wisest and noblest profession, so for Hera The Dick tribe also looked at them with special awe.

It felt like the different treatment between dozens of white-bone demons and hundreds of migrant workers walking together, which made the soldiers feel particularly uncomfortable. Fortunately, these mages were also led by the naive and innocent little princess of the Horadric tribe. , joined this multi-player n-football game without any hesitation.

Only the dwarves are left.

Figures of short winter melons appeared in their minds. These people couldn't help but shrugged their shoulders in disappointment and completely gave up their inner thoughts of competition.

I won’t go into details about killing dozens of dwarf winter melons during the last part of the journey. Just think of it as a garlic leaf in the scallion noodles or a piece of cherry tomato next to the steak in sauce.

I secretly complained like this, raised my head, and finally saw the road signs for entering the new area.

From here on, civilians and adventurers will separate and pass through half of the new area through two different passages until they reach the huge Rogge Square that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

Think about the past God’s Birthday. The streets were crowded with people, and tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 people crowded into a place. You would never expect it, and you would not be happy to encounter it. In order not to give up the civilians, the adventurers It was so crowded that they had no choice but to perform flying over eaves and walls. They were flying everywhere on trees and on roofs. Therefore, on the morning of God’s birthday, standing on the ground, one could see black shadows coming one after another like a flock of crows. Passing overhead.

It’s great that Akara remembered this detail and set up two passages.

When I came here, the number of stares around me suddenly decreased, which made me breath a sigh of relief.

Guys like Lena, Bea, Little Fox, and Chris also relaxed their serious expressions on their faces and stepped forward without any scruples.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you, you bad guy, looking so arrogant."

The little fox immediately looked at himself up and down impatiently, and then said what he had already planned.

Beja nodded desperately in agreement.

"Nonsense, don't you think I've become more handsome?" I glared condescendingly at these two blind women, fluffing up my white robe.

"The change from a caterpillar to a pupa." The little fox looked at me carefully and concluded.

"It's really a subtle change."

I really can't tell whether the caterpillar is cuter or the chrysalis is more handsome, so I can only look at it with a confused expression.

"But sooner or later, it will emerge from the pupa and turn into a beautiful butterfly."

"Are you so naive as to think that anyone who pupates can turn into a butterfly?" The little fox said with a look of contempt.

"That's right, you're a fool, just turn into a frog." Beja agreed from the side.

"You are the fool. You are the fool who got out of the chrysalis. Go back to the river and freeze the frogs, you fool!" I hit Beiya on the head with a spit knife without mercy.

"Yes, Beja, it's absolutely impossible to talk about frogs, at least it's better to talk about moths." The knowledgeable Tia kindly helped the idiot elf princess popularize knowledge about insects.

I:"……"

Although the moth is indeed the correct choice, your selfless answer has deeply broken my heart, Dia.

"A moth flies into a flame... That's really a very dazzling existence, isn't it, brother." Lena's weak, boneless hand wrapped around my other arm without anyone noticing.

"Yes, it blooms beautifully at the last moment of death."

"Does brilliance only bloom when you are dead? When you are alive, am you an unknown person, a fool who is easily attracted by the light of fire? Is this me?"

I got tangled up in unexpected places.

During the conversation, following the flow of people, we finally came to Rogge Square, perhaps it should be called [New Rogge Square].

It really reminds me of [New Rogge Bar] immediately, so there won’t be any problem...

Although it was not the first time I saw it, I was still shocked.

It has a structure like the Colosseum in ancient Rome. The central square covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters and is surrounded by a well-proportioned circular platform. From the outside, Rogge Square is several times larger than the largest football stadium in the world. More than twice that.

Around the ***, there are hundreds of stone pillars standing neatly. The patterns and patterns carved on each stone pillar are different. This is based on my sudden whim, so that each village and each race will represent Their patterns are carved on the stone pillars, resulting in this number.

The totem stone pillars that inherit the vicissitudes of history of each village, tribe, and even race stand tall around the square in a mysterious magic array. They exude an ancient atmosphere from above, making this newly built square... It seems as if it suddenly has thousands of years of history and becomes more solemn and vast.

Everything in the square was built up bit by bit with the calloused hands of Rogge civilians and their broad and solid shoulders. It did not rely on the crystallization of technology or the power of magic.

This is an artistic miracle like a pyramid or the Great Wall.

At that time, I also asked Akara, why not use the power of adventurers? In this case, you can save ten times the time and labor.

Akara just smiled calmly and said something to me: "If we do that, will the people in the camp still remember whose sweat was shed on this?"

At that time, Akara taught me a new truth. Sometimes, the process and the results are not the most important. What is important is the meaning of representation.

"Brother, what are you doing? Sit down quickly."

When I came back to my senses, I realized that the team had reached the front row facing the square, which was simply the legendary leadership seat.

Everyone else has already taken their seats.

"This kid is already stupid, hahaha."

There was an annoying voice coming from behind, and when I looked back, I saw that it was the old drunkard who had arrived first.

As alliance elders, she and Farah should have come with the team, but these two guys were already notorious and were afraid of losing the alliance's face, so they didn't force them to follow.

“How about a five-day and four-night trip to the lumber camp?”

I glared back at her fiercely, and sure enough, the drunkard immediately started moaning with his head in his hands.

It seems that at least during the period when he took power in place of Akara, he was able to firmly grasp the old woman's weaknesses and prevent her from making mistakes.

The high platform that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people is already more than half full, and there is a steady flow of people pouring in from hundreds of entrances from all directions. Looking at it like this, it is really a sea of ​​people. Even in the cold and dry winter, it becomes sweaty. .

The weather is getting colder, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I happen to be interested in completing 7,000 words, so I’m not lucky.
