Chapter 453 Sacred Wedding End

The grand dinner was held in the magnificent king's palace with singing and dancing. The guests of the royal wedding sat down in order according to their titles and ages. Everyone's face was filled with warm smiles.

Soon, cheerful flute music sounded in the palace, and the servants brought the dishes one by one, filling the bamboo mats in front of the nobles' seats.

The main course was roasted venison with honey, roasted turkey smoked with spices, and slightly spicy roasted fish. The carefully seasoned roasted meat was fragrant, tender and soft, and full of juice when bitten; the side dishes were cooked and soft beans, crisp zucchini, and thin-skinned mibonta. The fresh vegetables were bright in color, tender and refreshing, and tasted sweet and pleasant; the staple food was soft and crispy corn tortillas, slightly salty black bean puree, and rich pumpkin soup. The cooking staple food was fragrant and soft, and hot sauce and dried fruits could be added.

In the corner of the palace, there are pineapples, guavas, soursops, mami fruits, cactus fruits, purple figs. There are all kinds of tropical fruits, piled up like mountains, exuding tempting fruity fragrance, waiting for guests to taste.

Until this time, Xiuluot, dressed in a gorgeous dress, was led by the guards to sit beside Avit. Seeing the protagonist of the wedding coming, the royal nobles stood up and greeted, smiling and congratulating.

Xiuluot smiled and nodded, returning the greetings to the nobles one by one. When he returned the greetings, his smile was a little stiff, the words in his ears came in and out, and his eyes glanced at the rich food on the bamboo mat from time to time. He was really hungry for too long today, and he was already hungry. The hunger in his body came in waves, which overshadowed the tension of the wedding, but it was not time to eat yet.

The sun was setting in the west, and night was approaching. Hundreds of alliance nobles gathered together. The elder Kakamazin gave a speech first, praising the supreme god, telling the glory of the royal family, and finally praising the newlyweds. Then, King Avit gave another speech, praising the Lord and ancestors, emphasizing the royal blessing, and blessing the happiness and longevity of the marriage.

"My ruby ​​scepter comes from my grandfather, the great Montezuma I! It has the divinity of the sun god and is inlaid with the largest ruby ​​in the world!"

Avit stood up from the throne, his voice gradually becoming more excited. He took the ruby ​​scepter respectfully presented by the attendant, raised his left hand high, and declared majestically while scanning the crowd. Seeing this scene, the female snake Guillem at the bottom felt a thump in her heart and suddenly pursed her lips.

"This scepter was inherited from my mother, Atotosteli II! My glorious grandfather passed it to my blessed mother. My blessed mother gave it to me! Now, I want to announce in front of you in the name of my ancestors: I will pass this scepter to my eldest daughter, the eldest princess of the royal family, Alyssa, after the royal wedding!"

Hearing this, all the nobles present were shocked. Everyone couldn't help but look up at the shining divine object in the king's hand, the ruby ​​scepter of extraordinary status!

There are two scepters in the Mexica Alliance. One is the yellow scepter passed down from generation to generation from the ancestral tribe; the other is the ruby ​​scepter made by Montezuma I, which symbolizes the rise of royal power. In the eyes of traditional nobles, both scepters symbolize the supreme royal power, are closely linked to the history of the Mexica people, and contain some kind of inexplicable divinity.

In an instant, there was silence in the king's palace, and only the breathing of the people could be heard. Many people were silent in thought, many people were dazzled, and many people were shocked in their hearts.

Avite looked calm and looked at everyone indifferently. No one dared to oppose or question the inheritance of the scepter in person. Then, he looked at Xiu Luote deeply, and then announced with a smile.

"Praise the Lord! The dinner begins, enjoy the food!"

"Praise the Lord! Praise the king!"

Hearing the familiar prayer, the nobles responded in unison, and the atmosphere in the field relaxed. The nobles greeted each other and laughed loudly while eating the food. Most of the envoys from various states who witnessed the feast bowed their heads slightly, chewed the food in their mouths slowly, and thought about the inheritance of the throne of the Mexica Union behind the scepter.

Xiu Luote was stunned for a while, staring at the ruby ​​scepter close at hand. The starlight ruby ​​on the scepter has perfect lines and bright star marks, and its weight must be more than one hundred carats. He has always been yearning for this kind of national treasure of the museum level and has been thinking about it for a long time.

".Alyssa's my wife's. Well. It's also mine. Right?"

After a while, Xiu Luote swallowed his saliva gently, lowered his head, and tried to deal with the sumptuous dinner. There are still many activities in the evening, and he has to accumulate energy quickly.

The first dinner was extremely grand and long, from sunset to sunset, and the night covered the earth. A large bonfire was lit in the king's palace, and everyone ate very happily, but they didn't drink.

According to the traditional wedding customs of the Mexica people, the dinners are held at the bride's and groom's homes respectively. No alcohol is allowed at the first dinner, and only those over 30 years old can drink at the second dinner.

Kakamazin looked at the sky. The moon rose from the east and was covered by the clouds in the night sky. It was a good night without light. He smiled, came to the center of the palace, raised his hands high, and announced loudly.

". Fire brings blessings! Light the blazing torches, dispel the thick darkness, and escort the bride and groom to the high priest's house!"

"Okay! Light the torches!"

"The clouds bless the newlyweds and cover the evil moon!"

"The black wolf escorts the sun and waits for the new day to rise!"

Everyone stood up one after another, saying blessings and lighting a prepared torch in their hands. Within a moment, little bits of fire surrounded Shulot in the middle. Then, the torches on both sides separated a passage, and a dignified old woman came forward with her body bent, carrying a beautiful and delicate girl to Shulot's side.

"Alyssa!."

Shulot's eyes widened and he looked attentively, his heartbeat suddenly speeding up. Alyssa was wearing a pure white cotton robe, her black hair tied up, and her bare feet were lying on the back of the wedding messenger. Her white robe first tightened slightly, outlining her slender waist, and then relaxed slightly, allowing her long, snow-white and pink legs to be looming.

"Shulote"

Hearing her lover's call, Alyssa raised her head slightly, glanced at Shulot boldly, and responded in a low voice.

Her eyes were like water, and her expression was shy but also a little charming. There was a light blush on her pretty face, like a newly ripe apple, with an alluring greenness. Her soft lips were dyed with rouge, and were as pink as cherries, making people eager to taste them. Under the light of the fire, the girl's whole body was shrouded in warm orange light, giving people a strong urge to hug her.

Shulot pursed his lips and swallowed secretly. Seeing the difficulty in carrying the old woman, he took a step forward and extended his big hand to the delicate girl.

"Snapped!"

Avitt arrived first, and with a raised scepter in his hand, he blocked Shulot's hand. He glared at Xilote fiercely, turned his head and said to the old woman.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter! Being able to get married behind Alyssa's back is fulfilling one of my wishes!"

The old woman smiled heartily, her expression calm and kind. According to the custom of the alliance, the bride must be carried from the woman's home to the man's home by a respected old woman. There can be no substitutions during the whole process, and the bride cannot land. When the ceremony is completed, the bride officially changes from a daughter in her father's family to a wife in the man's family.

"well"

Thinking of this, Avitt lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes a little astringent. He gritted his teeth, glared at Shulot again, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Walk!"

Upon hearing the king's call, everyone held torches and poured out of the palace, forming a wedding procession of hundreds of people. At the center of the procession are the families of both parties to the wedding, in the middle are the accompanying nobles of the alliance, on the periphery are the musicians playing the flute and the singers giving blessings, and at the outermost are the royal warriors wearing robes on the outside and armor on the inside.

The crowd walked slowly, singing and playing music. A large number of people from the capital were attracted, watching the wedding from a distance and praising it loudly. It was a short journey from the King's Palace to the High Priest's Palace, but it took a full two-quarters of an hour before arriving at the brightly lit High Priest's Palace.

High Priest Shuter, wearing a complicated dress and a bright feather crown, had already greeted him at the main entrance of the High Priest's Mansion. As the man's head, he has been waiting at the house, preparing for the second dinner.

"Greetings to you, High Priest Shuter! The Lord God has shed his glory, and the cardinal brings good news!"

Kakamazin held a torch and stood at the front of the team. He lowered his head slightly, a smile on his face.

"Blessed by our ancestors! The sacred wedding is coming soon. A happy marriage is like the heaven and earth at night. Together they will never be separated!"

"Greetings, Elder Kakamazin!"

High Priest Shuter stood at the door and glanced at Shulot from a distance. Then, he lowered his head and bowed deeply.

"Witnessed by the Lord God, blessed by the ancestors! The door in the middle has been opened to welcome the sacred wedding. The two parties in the wedding are like heaven and earth, joining together at night, giving birth to divine descendants! From now on, only the call of the Lord God will separate them!"

After saying that, the two old men smiled tacitly, touched their arms, and led the team behind them into the main entrance of the High Priest's Mansion. The two have known each other for many years, and they are not much different in age. In terms of seniority, they are brothers from the same grandfather.

The wedding procession filed in and gathered again in the garden of the high priest's palace. The garden is vast, and in the center is the altar of the main god. Under the sign of the main god, there is a huge fire pit that has just been dug. The fire pit was filled with thatch, pine branches and spices, and in front of the fire pit was a seven or eight square meter hemp mat.

".Light a new bonfire! Under the gaze of the ancestors, the groom and the bride sit on the banquet and use the ancient rituals to connect to each other and become one!"

After saying that, Kakamazin stretched out the torch and lit the bonfire with his own hands. The warm fire ignited immediately, and wisps of green smoke rose from the haystack. Soon, with the help of rosin, the flame grew rapidly, and the fragrance of rosin mixed with pleasant spices spread throughout the garden.

Seeing this scene, Shulot was a little nervous. Next, comes the most important part of the wedding, the connection ceremony between the groom and the bride!

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, he was led by Uncle Kakamazin and sat on the left side of the hemp mat. Uncle Kakamatsu took off his robe and removed his shirt, revealing the young man's well-defined chest.

Then, panting and covered in sweat, the old woman put Alyssa down on her back. After all, she was already in her fifties, and even though her body was strong, she was indeed a little tired after carrying it for a long time. Fortunately, although Alyssa is very tall, her body is light and as delicate as a cloud.

"Uncle, thank you!"

The girl in white thanked her and showed a happy smile. She glanced at Shulot next to her shyly, then bent her knees and sat on the right side of the mat with her bare feet.

Shulot was sitting at the table, his right shoulder was slightly heavy, and he leaned against a gentle person. Flames rose in his heart, and he stretched out his arms powerfully to hold the soft girl in his arms.

"ah!"

Alyssa let out a low sigh, her eyelids drooped, and her face turned red. She turned her face slightly and pressed it against Shulot's chest.

"Haha! The heroic jaguar and the beautiful white deer are really blessed by the Lord God, and it is a wedding given by the God!"

Seeing this scene, the surrounding nobles laughed and praised him sincerely. The Mexican Federation was founded just over 50 years ago, and its customs are simple and vigorous, and it still retains the traditions of many tribes and clans.

Shulot hugged the beautiful woman and felt the tenderness in his arms. He took a gentle sniff, and the girl's scent hit his nostrils, making him fascinated.

".The wedding ceremony should be faster!"

As if he heard his call, Kakamazin laughed heartily. Holding a large black cloak in his hand, he smiled and walked to the hemp mat where the newlyweds were sitting.

"Xulot, Alyssa! The ancestors of the Mexica royal family are watching you in the firelight, witnessing the sacred wedding!!"

The elder Kakamazin called the two of them by their names and spoke loudly. There was a sudden silence in the garden, and everyone held their breath and watched intently. Under countless expectant eyes, Kakamazin unfolded his loose cloak with his own hands, directly covering the two newcomers sitting together!

The cloak fell, Shulot put away his joy, and his expression became solemn. He tightened his arms and used a little force to hold his beloved girl tightly in his arms. Then, the young man lowered his head silently and solemnly swore in his heart! He wants to use his ancestors, blood, gods, and everything he fears to promise to love and stay together for the rest of his life! !

Alyssa's face showed joy first, and then a little sadness. She raised her head slightly and glanced at her father not far away, showing obvious reluctance. However, after a few breaths, she turned her head and leaned hard against her lover's strong chest, with a sweet smile from the bottom of her mouth.

Seeing his daughter's behavior, Avitt clenched the staff in his hand and felt infinite sadness in his heart. He felt in a daze, a mixture of sadness and joy, and a mixture of joy and confusion. At this moment, the voice and appearance of his late wife suddenly came to his mind, making his eyes finally moist and the corners of his mouth smiling.

Further away, High Priest Shuter stood straight and stared at the two people in the cloak. His eyes were gratified, and a satisfied smile appeared on his old face. But unconsciously, the old man's back became rickets. And in that happy smile, there was deep reluctance and regret.

Next to the high priest, Shusoke was laughing heartily, even opening his arms unconsciously. He looked at Yingwu's son, his face full of pride and joy. After a while, he looked at his fat belly again, smiled, and burst into tears for no reason.

"The clan is passed down in the light of fire! The immortal ancestors of the royal family will pass on the divine blood to you!"

Under the attention of hundreds of nobles, Kakamazin spoke again. He stretched out his hands, grasped the corners of both sides of the cloak, held them together, and tied a tight knot with all his strength!

"Xulot, Alyssa! From now on, you officially become husband and wife! You will form a noble family, you will give birth to descendants of the gods, and you will continue the royal bloodline! You will blend together like blood and water. Let’s go to the end of our lives together until the day we die!”
