Nancheng District, Port Cactello.

Old John dragged his tired body out of the dock warehouse.

He looked at the pool of scarlet blood on his chest with great annoyance, and cursed himself: "You are so damn unlucky, why did you fall!"

Obviously I could easily carry two bags of goods before, but just now I was carrying one bag and my legs were weak and I fell.

Then he vomited a mouthful of blood, which happened to be seen by the foreman again.

Although he tried his best to defend himself, Old John still lost his job as a porter, which he regarded as his life.

I pinched my trouser pocket and found a pile of old banknotes of different denominations inside.

Eight hundred and seventy-six liso, this is his salary for this little half month.

He had just started working and he didn't know where to go since he had no work to do.

If I go back now, my family will definitely be more worried.

The whole family is counting on his job to make ends meet. What if they really want to lose it?

Old John sat on the roadside smoking cigarettes with despair in his eyes, looking as if he had aged ten years suddenly.

He was fifty-three years old. He had managed to save money a few years ago to marry a widow who was a tailor, and he had two half-grown children.

Although life is a bit tough, there is still some hope.

I thought that as my two children grew older, I would be able to get a stable job by relying on my decades of working in the docks.

But now, all hope is gone.

"It's all this damn weird disease."

Old John sighed.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, looking at the dock in the distance where he had been working all his life, and smoking cigarettes one after another.

At this moment, the gun salute sounded like "bang", "bang", "bang" over in Beicheng.

Only then did Old John's pupils regain a little focus.

I heard from the co-workers that today is the wedding of a princess and a prince.

Oh, it seems like the bedtime stories my mother told me when I was a kid.

Old John looked at the flowers blooming in the sky and thought of his mother who had been dead for many years.

At this moment, there was no light in his eyes.

How despairing it is to have no future.

Who can save this sinking world?

In a trance, he seemed to see a god descending

The golden carriage started all the way from Frederick's Palace to the Alchemy Temple of Zosimos, two blocks away.

This is a Baroque classical building, a solemn holy place for alchemists.

When the two got off the car, salutes were fired. This was the venue for the ceremony, and relatives and friends had been waiting here for a long time.

Su Lun felt quite uncomfortable when he saw thousands of strangers on the lawn looking over at them.

Yekaterina always had a smile on her face. She held Su Lun's arm and walked over with a pure and confident smile.

At this moment, the outside of the Alchemy Temple was surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, with all kinds of festive flowers vying for beauty.

And just as Su Lun and the two walked across the lawn, the lawn seemed to be enchanted, and more flowers bloomed under the scorching sun. Every time they took a step, more flowers bloomed at their feet.

Red, pink, golden, purple

In addition to those precious flowers that symbolize wealth and happiness, there are also small white chrysanthemums in the field of vision.

It should be a small wild flower on the hillside, but it is everywhere in the green grass.

They open brightly, facing the scorching sun.

Just the embellishment of these elegant wild chrysanthemums, the rich color layering in the eyes immediately becomes rich, colorful and gorgeous.

The breeze blows, and a faint floral fragrance enters the nose.

It is so beautiful that it feels like stepping into a wedding hall in poetry and fairy tales.

Su Lun's eyes also lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "It's beautifully arranged."

Upon hearing the praise, Ekaterina next to her showed a bright smile and said intimately: "Because I designed it myself."

She smiled with her eyebrows arched, and said happily: "This is a wedding that only happens once in a lifetime. Of course I hope it will be the most beautiful thing in my life's memory."

Su Lun smiled slightly when he heard this.

In front of outsiders, she is really an innocent princess.

He also adjusted his suit and walked over with his head held high.

Not long after, in the Alchemy Temple of Zosimos.

"Groom, are you willing"

"I do."

"Bride, are you willing"

"I do."

"You may kiss your bride."

""

The process of the ceremony is very simple.

Probably because the Lu Ying nobles had no concept of loyalty, and there was no lifelong commitment in the wedding speech, so they simply asked a few questions.

Under the alchemical relief of "Ouroboros and Scales", Fick and Catherine completed the wedding ceremony on behalf of the two families.

After throwing the bouquet, Anna grabbed it.

After the wedding ceremony is completed, the next step is the banquet.

After the two newcomers finished the process, it seemed like nothing happened to them.

The highlight of a luxurious wedding banquet is actually the process by which the elders of the family discuss various cooperation matters.

After all, in the eyes of almost everyone, it was just a marriage between the second son of the Raigadi family and the fourth daughter of the Lance family. This couple, who had no inheritance rights, was not worthy of attention.

After the ceremony was completed, Su Lun seemed to have completed half of the task and breathed a sigh of relief.

The elders of both families left the scene, and Su Lun and Ekaterina began to greet their friends and take photos.

"Fike" used to be a concubine prince in Raiga Land. He was a little transparent who had not even awakened his talent. He had never even come to Lingdun to go to school. Su Lun didn't know anyone, and he didn't have many friends to greet.

On the other hand, Ekaterina has too many friends.

Family and friends, classmates at the Royal Academy, friends of the aristocratic class, people who have connections

The most numerous are all kinds of suitors.

When Su Lun was kissing the bride during the ceremony, he felt at least dozens of jealous eyes poking at him repeatedly like sharp spears.

If looks could kill, he would probably be riddled with holes right now.

Su Lun also found it quite interesting to see those handsome young nobles looking in despair.

The former "most beautiful woman in the Royal Academy" is getting married. I am the groom?

Probably because they got acquainted with each other a lot after getting acquainted with each other at the manor. Taking advantage of the gap between one group of people taking photos and another group of people coming over, Su Lun joked: "Miss Ekaterina, what are you pursuing?"

There are so many. If I hadn’t just appeared today, I would have received invitations to duels every day.”

Yekaterina smiled and said, "Yes."

She hugged Su Lun's arm very intimately, as if whispering, and asked in a naughty and joking tone: "Will Mr. Su Lun duel for me?"

In front of outsiders, there is no hint of depth on her face.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said decisively: "No."

Ekaterina didn't sound angry, and pretended to be depressed for a moment, "Oh, what a sad answer."

A flash of thought flashed through her crystal eyes, and she asked again: "What if it's Katyusha?"

Su Lun shrugged and said, "Katyusha doesn't have that many suitors looking for someone to fight with."

The topic suddenly became interesting.

Yekaterina blinked and said: "Ah, you mean Katyusha is not beautiful enough?"

Suellen corrected: "On the contrary."

Yekaterina didn't know what she was thinking of, and smiled without saying a word.

Anyway, they are all praising themselves.

This pleasant chat did not last long. Soon, Su Lun saw an old man in a tuxedo walking over and said, "Master Fike, the master and his wife asked me to inform you to go there."
