Chapter 191 The Wedding Is Over
Undead creatures are not very popular, and can even be said to be hostile. Now the main sequencers who can control the undead on the continent are all sequences from the Death Cult.
The Death Cult is a recognized cult throughout the continent, and its reputation is terrible. Especially in their Anerfa Empire, the Crystal Palace that the empire just acquired some time ago was snatched away by Nagus of the Death Cult.
Now that it is discovered that Feng Willow's subordinates actually have undead creatures, it is inevitable to be suspicious. The most important thing is that the fact that Feng Willow now has a ghost ship has long been controlled by the imperial nobles.
With a ghost ship under his command and a group of undead creatures, it is difficult for them not to associate Feng Willow with the Death Cult. Even if there is no connection, the creatures used are naturally disgusted with dead creatures.
"The car pulled by the crow symbolizing death is followed by the undead army. What is he trying to do? Show everyone his relationship with the Death Cult?" Someone thought secretly.
However, no one was blind enough to cause trouble at this time. After all, it was Feng Willow's wedding day. Feng Willow had just been conferred the title of Imperial Marquis by His Majesty the Emperor. There were also many envoys from other empires who came to watch the ceremony. It was not very wise to jump out and cause internal strife now.
But this matter had obviously been remembered by someone with ulterior motives.
I don't know what I was thinking, but as a qualified king, I still have the necessary scheming, and I still keep a kind smile on my face.
"Count Feng Willow, this time I was ordered to destroy the pirate alliance that was rampant in the seven seas, and I played the prestige of our Anerfa Empire and cleared a cancer on the sea for people from all over the world. From now on, merchant ships on the sea can finally no longer worry about powerful pirates.
As the emperor of the Anerfa Empire, I hereby confer honors on Feng Willow, confer Feng Willow the title of Imperial Marquis, and confer the entire Nanan County as the fiefdom of the Feng family." Light VI said, holding the scepter and resting it on Feng Willow's shoulder.
Feng Willow stood at the steps in front of His Majesty the Emperor with his head down, looking up at the Emperor holding the scepter and bathing in the sun. From this angle, it was quite sacred.
For ordinary nobles, they need to kneel down to His Majesty the Emperor, but Feng Willow is different. As the strongest man in the empire and the world's number one dragon knight, he still has the privilege of being exempted from some etiquette.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I, Feng Willow, will serve as the sword of the empire and sweep away all enemies." Feng Willow said solemnly. Originally, this link should be to show loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, but Feng Willow obviously did not want to show loyalty to anyone. With his current strength, he is also qualified to be willful, so he deliberately changed the concept.
In this world with gods, oaths cannot be made casually. The stronger the existence, the stronger the binding force of the oath. It is not that there is someone to constrain, but when it comes to ascending to the gods, these unfinished oaths will turn into demons in the heart.
This is what Moril specifically said to Feng Willow. For those who have no hope of making it to the end of the sequencer path, the impact is indeed not great, but for people like Feng Willow who aim to become a god, this impact is too great.
"This shield is a secret treasure inherited from the ancient dwarfs, the Dwarf King's Shield, and is given to you as a reward for destroying the Pirate Alliance this time." Light VI took a tattered wooden shield that looked like a pot lid from the servant next to him and handed it to Feng Willow solemnly.
This appearance, no matter how you look at it, has nothing to do with treasures, but when Feng Willow received it, he could feel that this shield was indeed an ancient secret treasure, which could improve his own and his army's defense by two levels, which was a very powerful improvement.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Willow handed the shield to Medusa Westlana next to him.
Light VI returned to his seat.
"Thank you all guests, today is not only the day for Marquis Feng Willow to be awarded, but also the day he gets married." A court official began to preside over the wedding ceremony.
"Bow to heaven and earth." In the surprised eyes of all the nobles, Feng Willow turned around with Talis in a formal dress and saluted to the sky.
"You don't worship gods or emperors, but directly worship heaven and earth? Isn't Feng Willow a little too crazy?" Someone whispered to his companion next to him.
According to the etiquette of the Anerfa Empire, at the wedding, you either worship gods and get the blessings and witnesses of gods. Of course, it is impossible for gods to descend. This process is usually presided over by senior priests of major temples, which represents the power of God.
Or you can worship His Majesty the Emperor from a distance. Ordinary people generally cannot see the emperor, so it is usually presided over by lords and officials. There are etiquette officers in various places who specialize in handling these matters. This represents the power of the monarch.
Feng Willow, who neither worships gods nor the monarch, but directly worships heaven and earth, is very rare.
"Don't say it, he is the strongest man in the empire. Since he dares to do this in front of the emperor and many nobles, he must have the confidence to do so. Let's not meddle in other people's business." A steady noble advised.
"Bow to your parents." Following the words of the etiquette officer, Feng Willow and Tallis bowed deeply to their parents who were sitting on the side watching the ceremony.
"Husband and wife bow to each other." Feng Willow and Tallis bowed to each other.
"The ceremony is over. Congratulations to you two. In the presence of heaven and earth, His Majesty the Emperor, and all the nobles, you have become husband and wife." The etiquette officer said very cleverly.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened. The weather, which was clear just now, suddenly became very dark, but there were no clouds in the sky. Only the sun's light disappeared.
Everyone looked up and saw that the sun in the sky was still there, but the light became very dim, like the moon at night.
The sun, which was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it before, was now only slightly brighter.
"What's going on?" Someone shouted anxiously. At this moment, they didn't care that the emperor was still sitting on it.
Feng Willow protected Tallis behind him, along with both parents. He stood at the front in a majestic armor, looking up at the sky, emitting mental power, and vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Although Tallis felt that he was not weak in strength, he still enjoyed the feeling of being protected by his man, and looked at Feng Willow's back with admiration.
Such a big change is not a small mess. Not only did the sun seem to be covered by frosted glass, but even the magic in the air around him began to stir.
The wind blew.
First there was a breeze, and then the wind got stronger and stronger.
"Is this... the spirit world has revived?" A great noble with a long heritage looked at the scene in the sky in surprise.
Feng Willow didn't know what the spirit world was, but someone obviously knew.
The things that blocked the sun in the sky began to disappear, and the sun's light became brighter and brighter, and the sky returned to its clear and sunny appearance.
That gust of wind came quickly and went away quickly. It was as if nothing had happened just now, but many things were blown into a mess by the strong wind, proving the change just now.
Obviously, at this moment, everyone's mind is no longer on Feng Willow's wedding, but all on the matter of the revival of the spirit world.
"Marquis Willow, Viscount Tallis, His Majesty summoned all the nobles to discuss what happened just now. Your wedding can only end here for the time being. I'm very sorry." The etiquette officer said to Feng Willow with an apologetic look.
Tallis's viscount title was brought by her own strength. All sequencers can obtain the title of the empire. However, when there is no merit, this title does not have a territory, but can only receive a high salary in the empire. The stronger the sequencer, the higher the title he can get and the higher the salary he can receive.
Originally, Talis's identity did not qualify her to go to the meeting hall, but now she is Feng Willow's wife, and her own strength is not bad, so she was invited together.
Feng Willow arranged for Westlana to lead her subordinates and both parents back to the Marquis's Mansion, and he led Talis into the palace together.
"The spirit world is a high-level world above our world, and it is also the place where the gods live. It's just that at the end of an era, the spirit world disappeared, and the gods came to dusk. With the revival of the magic tide, the spirit world has once again appeared in our world." A great noble, under the guidance of Light VI, briefly introduced the history of the spirit world.
"To put it simply, the spirit world is a world above our world, where the magic power is more concentrated, but also more dangerous. There are all kinds of monsters in the spirit world. With the reappearance of spiritual energy, the impact on our world will be even greater." An elderly noble introduced it quite complacently.
"The spirit world is disappearing, and the gods can't survive in the spirit world. Why are there still monsters?" Feng Willow frowned and asked. He felt that there were many contradictions in the old man's words.
"I don't know. The records in our family say that the spirit world is disappearing and the gods are at dusk. At the same time, it also records many dangers in the spirit world." The old man said confidently.
Feng Willow turned his head to look at Wright VI. As a royal family, they should know more about the things in the last era.
"The spirit world is a strange place, and the rules are different from those of reality. However, it has a great impact on reality. Under the radiation of the spirit world, the recovery of the magic tide will accelerate, and the probability of the appearance of monsters in various places will increase. The most serious thing is that the extraordinary blood in all organisms will awaken quickly." A great noble introduced.
"The spirit world has a lot of extraordinary resources, and now that the spirit world has just appeared, those resources are ownerless. Any country that enters the spirit world first can quickly improve its national strength." Wright VI said.
"This opportunity is rare. It only comes once in a lifetime. When the gods return, the spirit world will be divided among them. The spirit world will become extremely dangerous. Although it is dangerous now, the degree of danger is far less than after the gods return.
Marquis Willow, do you understand what I mean?" Light VI said to Feng Willow with a pleading tone.
"Your Majesty just said that this is a great opportunity? Why not send out the Imperial Griffin Knights and the most powerful Champion Knights of the royal family? With such a powerful force and such a rare opportunity. As long as we enter the spirit world, the strength of the empire will surely be further improved." Feng Willow was already alert.
These people praised the spirit world one by one, and how rare the opportunity was, but no one wanted to enter the spirit world. Instead, Light VI wanted him to enter.
Feng Willow had a good idea of his status and popularity in the empire. Although he has made contributions to the empire, when good things happen, they will never fall on his head. When there are troubles and difficult enemies, it will definitely be his fault.
The most important thing is that Feng Willow is not so urgent in his need for so-called precious resources. He does not need resources for his own cultivation. The so-called benefits of the spirit world are not so tempting to him.
On the contrary, his fiancée Talis, who he has been thinking about for a long time, has just got married, and his own territory needs to be built. These things are more important to him. Now he is asked to go to the spirit world, then he is definitely unwilling.
"Marquis Willow, not everyone can enter the spirit world. Only powerful sequencers can enter the spirit world through a specific ceremony. You are the strongest in our empire. Only if you go can the empire take a step ahead and get the greatest benefits in the spirit world.
On the other hand, this step is slow, and every step is slow. If the empire is slow in the battle of the spirit world, it will definitely fall behind several other countries." A minister stood up and said angrily, and this guy's expression was exaggerated as if his father had died.
"Does this bastard want me to consider the overall situation?" Feng Willow stared at the noble who was speaking. He remembered that his name was Du Leiyin, but he was secretly angry in his heart. Although the other party did not say it explicitly, he could hear that this was the meaning behind the words.
Although Feng Willow was very curious about the spirit world, he really didn't want to go at this moment.
"Your Majesty, my strength has reached the edge of promotion, and I need to prepare for the promotion ceremony." Feng Willow refused. In his heart, he always felt that there was a pit in this.
But because of the asymmetry of information, he didn't know where the pit was. So in response to the requests of the emperor and the nobles, he insisted on two words, not going!
Next, Light VI discussed with the ministers how to deal with the emergence of the spirit world and the various dangers that might arise. However, these had nothing to do with Feng Willow. He began to refine his blood essence. The emergence of the spirit world further aggravated his anxiety and made him more eager to improve his strength.
After the meeting, Feng Willow took Tallis back to the Marquis's Mansion. (End of this chapter)
