One month after the black plague incident in Taylor City.
Muxi City Central Square, 10 am.
Colorful flags fluttered in the square, and water columns from the fountain splashed into the air, drawing a brilliant rainbow.
The dense and tall fragrant trees exude a light fragrance, and the breeze blows, making the air intoxicating.
People from all over the world gathered in the square as far as the eye could see. They were of various races, languages, and skin colors. In the land of the Dragon God, even strangers meeting each other for the first time seemed to feel like old friends at first sight.
Everyone's face is filled with smiles.
Today, there are two major events in Muxi City.
1. Muxi City’s army returned with a great victory, which meant that the word Papal State had been completely wiped off the map.
2. A human and an elf will hold a grand wedding at Muxi Grand Theater today. This marks that in Muxi City, interracial love and marriage are no longer taboos that people avoid talking about.
.
For those ordinary people, it is a matter of course that Mu Xicheng's army wins. As for what the distant battlefield looks like, these are not the objects of their concern.
In their opinion, the second thing - the combination of humans and elves is more interesting to them.
At the end of the square, the crisp sound of wheels rolling over stone slabs echoed in the air.
A loud voice attracted people's attention.
"The noble and elegant Lady Rita, the leader of the Salamo Mermaid Clan, is about to pass her chariot. Please be careful and avoid it!"
Everyone in the square followed the sound and were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they couldn't close their jaws.
A huge carriage pulled by eight white horses was driving slowly on the square driveway.
The latest spring-type shock-absorbing wheels designed by Muxi University, the sky-high carriage base made of brown birch, and the luxurious fence decorated with gold and gems.
And the most shocking thing is the huge glass water tank installed on the carriage base, which is five meters long, two and a half meters wide and three meters high!
Muxi City is the birthplace of glass products. After several years of development and research, its skills have reached the pinnacle of the entire continent.
Every year, a large number of businessmen travel across the ocean from other countries to purchase relevant commodities.
However, not to mention the ordinary people in the square, even the officials and scholars in important positions had never seen such a huge and spectacular glass water tank.
"Dragon God is on top!"
"How on earth was that thing made?!"
“It’s incredible!”
Such admirations and questions reached the ears of Rita and her maids who were looking around in the glass water tank.
A maid slowly swam up to Rita, who was wearing a gold-cut shell dress, and asked in a low voice: "Chief, will it be too ostentatious if we do this?"
Rita pretended to look at the beautiful scenery around her while trying her best to maintain her elegant demeanor: "Swagger? You are right, this is what I want to see."
"I do not understand."
Rita glanced at the more and more people gathered beside the carriage and said calmly: "If you have just arrived in a new place, the shortcut to having good dealings with the indigenous people is not to put yourself in an inferior position.
It’s about making them believe that you have everything they want.”
The maid's expression seemed a little vague, and she asked with a hint of fear: "Then if we do this, will it offend the owner of this land - the god...?"
Rita lowered her head slightly and said softly: "That god doesn't care about these little details. In his eyes, our swaggering behavior is as boring and ridiculous as clowns."
"Then why are you doing this...?"
Rita turned to her maids: "At any time, you must remember that our god is Krakosh, the Lord of the Ocean. Here, in this land, we are uncompromising. Pagan. Therefore, being a clown is safer and safer than being a wise man."
The maids nodded thoughtfully.
From the corner of her eye, Rita accidentally caught a glimpse of some men in the crowd, casting unkind and even lewd glances at them.
Unconsciously, with her face flushed with embarrassment, she covered her shell bust with both hands and ordered to the maids: "Make the carriage go faster!"
At the same time, Muxi Grand Theater, backstage preparation room.
Randall, wearing a dress and tie, kept combing his hair in front of the mirror, as if he was always dissatisfied with his current appearance.
"I don't like this outfit, it makes me feel uncomfortable..."
A bouquet of flowers was thrown from behind Randall, interrupting his complaint.
Carol, who was wearing a dress that looked like a large canvas and had a bad face, immediately made Randall burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, seeing you like this, I suddenly feel that my appearance is much more pleasing to the eye!"
Carol sat down on the creaking chair and said angrily: "Shut up!"
Aldenan, who was also wearing a dress and looked funny, also emerged from the curtain in the backcourt at this time.
He walked to Randall's side and said, "The guests are almost here."
Randall hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, he...?"
Aldenan shook his head: "The Dragon God seems to have other priorities, but the Supreme Deirdre and Princess Aurora are already seated at the VIP table."
Randall looked a little sad.
Carol sighed: "Are you worried about Miss Karin and annoying the Dragon God?"
Randall lowered his head and said: "Because of my wanton behavior, Miss Karin still has no news at all. It is natural that Your Majesty will blame me."
Aldenan found a chair and sat down, and said to Carroll and Randall: "Want to hear my analysis?"
"Tell me about it."
"Miss Karin is a very important existence, and her disappearance will indeed arouse the Dragon God's concern. However, the thing that the Dragon God is most concerned about now is probably not her whereabouts, but..."
Carroll suddenly said: "Black Plague."
"Yes, I guess that the Dragon God did not appear in Taylor City to find Miss Karin, let alone to save us. He appeared there with only one purpose, which was to find out everything behind the black plague."
Carroll glanced at Aldenan in surprise: "I'm a little uncomfortable hearing you analyze things in such a serious way."
Aldenan shrugged his wolf ears: "Don't underestimate the years I lived in the underground boxing ring. Any guy who can't learn to think will never survive a week there."
At this moment, the sound of musical instruments came from the direction of the stage.
Carroll stood up from his chair and said to Randall: "It's time for you to appear."
Randall took a deep breath, nodded, opened the curtain backstage, and walked out.
Just when Carroll was about to follow him out, Aldenan held him back.
Aldenan looked at Carol and said slowly: "If this wedding makes you uncomfortable, I can go for you."
Carroll gently broke away from Aldenan: "I'm fine."
Watching Carol disappear into the curtain, Aldenan muttered to himself helplessly: "Oh... love..."
