On the Seven Towers

After receiving their marriage certificate, Li Jia and Selinda walked out of the auditorium. Xiao Chen and others, who came out ahead of them, stood at the door, pointed at the sky and ejected various light balls and bands of light. These magics, which only have light and shadow effects but no lethality, successfully create a festive atmosphere.

Surrounded by everyone, everyone walked towards the small garden behind the auditorium, where they would hold a simple wedding reception during the following lunch time. Since everyone hasn't been able to focus too much on eating and drinking since time travel, the supply of ingredients is not very abundant, and most importantly, there are not enough condiments to cook, so setting up a round table wedding banquet is too reluctant. , but the buffet is still manageable.

Several long tables were placed around and in the middle of the garden, covered with linen tablecloths. Chef Lao He directed several apprentices to put stacks of food on the table. The most common dishes on the plate are various meats and fish from the surrounding rivers, while the rest are various cold vegetables and various snacks.

Count Carlos picked up a piece of rice cake with his fork, put it on his plate, and watched happily as the newlyweds walked among the people holding wine glasses. He nodded with satisfaction, took a bite of rice cake and Guo Qian on the side and said: "Chairman Guo, today is really a memorable day. Our alliance has taken a solid step forward."

"The alliance does not exist yet, Your Excellency, Earl, I said that today's wedding is about two young people falling in love freely, not for the purpose of forming an alliance." Guo Qian said.

The earl chewed rice cakes and shrugged: "Of course, I don't have the habit of using my daughter as a bargaining chip. However, you can also see my sincerity from this. After all, no matter what your attitude is, I have already treated my daughter as a bargaining chip." It's coming to my door. Even if you turn against me, my daughter will still be Li Jia's wife. This is the rule of the nobility. I can only blame myself for my poor judgment. "

Guo Qian smiled and said: "Then you are worrying too much. We have never thought about becoming enemies with the earldom. On the contrary, our economic and trade cooperation has been very smooth, right? And two days ago, you said at the enlarged meeting of the committee "I believe that the story of a pack of wolves killing a tiger has moved some people. Please be patient. We still need some time to make a final decision."

"This is the difference between one person making a decision and many people making a decision. Your method may be less likely to make mistakes, but it is also easier to lose opportunities." Count Carlos raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his upturned eyes showed a clear sense of superiority. , "In my territory, I am the only one who makes decisions, but that does not prevent me from listening to other people's opinions."

Seeing Guo Qian smile and say nothing, Count Carlos didn't say much more on this issue. At this time, Li Jia and Selinda came over with wine glasses. Count Carlos took a wine glass, which contained sweet fruit wine. "Congratulations, my children. Here is a small gift for you two."

He took out two silver badges inlaid with crystal stones from his coat pocket and handed them to them. There are two axes made of spar on the badge. "This pair of badges represents a guard composed of fifty berserker warriors. Both leaders have reached the intermediate level, and I will give them to you now." Two of them, as your private army."

Selinda looked at the badge with a complicated expression. She asked: "There are still berserker troops? How many things are you hiding from me?"

Count Carlos had a kind look on his face and said: "You have to know that a father is willing to do a lot of things to protect his daughter. Preparing a small guard for her is just a trivial step. thing.”

Li Jia wanted to hand the badge back to the count. He said: "Your Majesty, this is the army of the Arias family. You can just leave it to Selinda alone. I am not suitable to accept such a gift."

"First, you should call me father. Second, I feel that I have an obligation to protect Selinda's husband. I don't want you, a fragile magician, to die in an inexplicable attack one day. "said the earl. Li Jia saw that the earl had a firm look on his face and Selinda kept giving him winks, so he had no choice but to put the badge away.

Carlos smiled slightly and looked at Guo Qian. Guo Qian was not impressed by how generous the other party was. Although he had prepared gifts, such a comparison made people feel uncomfortable. Just when he was hesitating whether to take out the gift list containing daily necessities in his pocket, Xiao Chen came up from the side and said: "Chairman Guo, I brought the gift you asked me to prepare. Congratulations to our school as a new member. "

Xiao Chen took out a long sword from Traveler's Heart. The hilt and scabbard of the long sword were not very eye-catching, but the sword was a bit longer than an ordinary long sword. When Xiao Chen pulled it out of its scabbard, it showed colorful light in the sun.

Count Carlos felt that this sword looked familiar. After looking at it for a moment, he was surprised: "Is this Venegas's holy sword 'Breaking Light'?"

Xiao Chen put the broken light back into the scabbard and said: "That's right. Although it was seriously damaged in the battle when we killed Venegas, I have asked the forging master among the dwarves to repair it. Although the sword may be slightly less powerful than it was originally, it can no longer be regarded as a sacred weapon, but it is still a very valuable souvenir after all. I think it should be given as a gift to the first couple in the Earl of China and Montenegro. Very suitable.”

Selinda is a swordsman after all. When she took the sword, the joy on her face was beyond words, and her hands even started to tremble.

"I have to admit. I am surprised by the generosity and magnanimity of you Chinese people." Count Carlos also sighed.

Xiao Chen bowed his head slightly and said: "You are too kind. Li Jia is my best friend. Whether it is the friendship between him and me or the friendship between us and you, it cannot be measured by any gift."

Count Carlos showed a satisfied smile on his face. He waved to Li Jia and Serinda and said: "Okay, my children, go for a walk again. Don't let the guests feel neglected. Go quickly."

Xiao Chen picked up two glasses of wine from the side and handed one to Count Carlos. Then he said: "I have a question about the alliance."

"Please go."

"If we encounter other enemies outside the kingdom, will you stand on the same side with us?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Of course!" Count Carlos answered straightforwardly.

"What if this enemy is very powerful, even as powerful as a god?" Xiao Chen asked further.

"How could there be an enemy as powerful as a god?" The count asked back.

"I'm just assuming."

"To be honest, I don't think humans can fight against gods. Although Master Banderas and I have a deep connection with the Seven Towers and admire the Seven Towers' will to challenge the gods, if such a battle really happens, I will seriously consider whether the battle is worth it." The Count said frankly.

"Well, I think I understand your opinion on the alliance." Xiao Chen said thoughtfully.
