Imperial Crown

The reward summary will be updated!

…

For this wedding, Raven's entire territory, from the Eagle Territory to the Snow Maple Territory, was at full capacity.

The number of guests was too great for the Eagle Castle hall to accommodate, so Old Gordon paid a high price to hire urban laborers, and just took time during the busy farming season to build a brand new auditorium.

The entire auditorium is made of granite with a floor height of 5 meters. Due to its exquisite design, there are no pillars inside, so you can see the end at a glance.

When you walk into it, no matter how crowded it is, you won't feel depressed at all.

Today is the day when the Fox family's bride-to-be team arrives, so the nobles gathered here early to wait.

Although there are 214 noble families from the Nord province gathered together, except for a few who are open-minded, most of the nobles still gather together based on geographical relationships to communicate and discuss with each other.

The nobles of Xuefeng County are no exception.

Ms. Doreen was wearing a light brown dress, took a sip of Angel Tears and said with emotion: "Before, everyone thought that this wedding was due to Baron Raven, but now it seems that Miss Nancy has found the right person."

"In the entire Nord province, except for the Slater and Fox families, I'm afraid no one can prepare such a thorough wedding."

All the nobles nodded in agreement.

Marriage with the earl family is of course a good thing, but if the barons and viscounts present are given such an opportunity, they may not be able to take it!

What might have been an opportunity to show off might turn into embarrassment.

Not every family has the financial resources and strength like Raven.

Although the place where everyone lives was built with overtime work, in terms of specifications and luxury, it is no different than when they were at home.

In the entire Nord province, there are more than 200 barons and viscounts. Not counting servants, there are 3 or 5 people in each family. In this way, there are more than 1,000 nobles alone.

In order to satisfy the guests who arrived, the Griffith family was not only generous in terms of living and entertainment conditions, but also extremely luxurious in terms of food.

There are as many as 35 kinds of cold dishes for self-service, which can be changed and replenished at any time, enough to satisfy the tastes of nobles from all over the Nordic province; in terms of drinks, in addition to unlimited Angel Tears, there are also Refreshing red mist scented tea.

Even if these are produced by the Eagle Territory, the daily cost is at least 3,000 gold coins!

This amount was enough to drag down a baron's finances.

The Griffith family is not only responsible for this expense for one day, but for at least 20 days or even a month.

After all, that's 60,000 to 90,000 gold coins. This amount is beyond the reach of most viscounts!

"I know the wealth of the Griffith family from the bottom of my heart." Baron Kate, who once fought alongside Raven, said: "Everyone has used the Book of Magic and the Skyhawk Platform. Baron Raven is simply a genius in business. !”

This sentence immediately aroused more resonance. Baron Sereva, the Lord of TEDA, said: "Yes, everyone has heard of the magic circle used for communication; everyone knows more or less about the operation of the Mage Guild. "

"But Baron Raven can think of extending something that only mages can enjoy to our noble circle. Not only is it whimsical, he is also breaking the rules and being very creative!"

The mountain lord Baron Hudson, who has rarely interacted with others, also came. His focus was more practical than practical: "Don't talk about big designs like the Skyhawk Platform. On small things, Baron Raven's ingenuity is not the same." few."

"Everyone has seen glass bottles, wax is not a rare thing, and fish is even more common, but these three things are added together to create the angel's gift. I can't help but accept it!"

This sentence can be said to have spoken to the hearts of the nobles.

There was no such thing as copyright in this era. They thought of copying Raven's idea, and the simplest way was Angel's Gift.

They can't get Beacon, but there are plenty of fish.

But everyone who puts their mind to it all ends in failure.

Glass production is not a big secret, but if you do it yourself, discoloration is a big problem; if you spend money to buy it, it is just like wax, the cost is high and there is no profit.

Even if no expense is spared in these two steps, there is still one last problem - sealing.

The Angel's Gift sold by Raven has not changed at all after being stored for half a year, and is still as fresh as half a year ago; the imitations they made themselves will become rotten and deteriorate in a month or two, and even directly burst the wax seal.

"Ingenuity is nothing but ingenuity. In Xuefeng County, Baron Raven is not the only one who is good at managing money." Baron Sereva chuckled: "Don't you think so, Viscount Broca?"

This sentence drew everyone's attention to Viscount Broca.

He smiled slightly and acted quite modestly: "Without Baron Raven's Skyhawk Platform, I wouldn't be able to achieve what I have achieved now."

This sentence is not polite.

Viscount Broca originally worshiped a magician, specializing in the production of enchanted arrows, but he had been unable to open up sales, so he had been half-dead.

But since joining the Skyhawk platform, an unprecedentedly broad market has been opened up. The sales of enchanted arrows have been rising steadily. This item alone has an income of tens of thousands of gold coins every month. The territory's finances are even higher than when his father, Viscount Fisher, was in power. Much better.

However, Baron Wessassin only regarded Broca as saying something: "The Viscount is in his prime, and now he is running the territory in full swing. He will definitely be able to restore the glory of the Leiden family."

"Maybe in a few years, the position of Sheriff of Xuefeng County will return to the Layton family."

Baron Sereva then echoed: "Yes, it's not that Baron Raven, the county chief, has done a bad job. It's just that as a nobleman of Xuefeng County, on the Sky Eagle Platform, he treats people in and outside the county. Nobles treat everyone equally, and even lowly merchants can use it. It is really unruly. "

"When you become the Sheriff, you must urge Baron Raven to correct this problem."

Viscount Broca looked solemn: "Baron Wessazin, Baron Sereva, as nobles, you must know how to measure."

The flattery failed to be filmed and was teased back. The faces of the two people whose names were called were a little ugly.

"Baron Raven has been conscientious and conscientious since he became the county commissioner. I am not the only one who has benefited from him." Broca continued: "Not to mention the Skyhawk platform, is it possible that the establishment of the business alliance is not the only one who has benefited from him? Didn’t you gain any benefit?”

"That means Baron Raven is open-minded. If it were me, I would have kicked out the people with evil intentions!"

Vesazin and Sereva looked at each other, both a little angry.

They didn't expect that even though they had good intentions and supported Broca, it didn't matter if the man didn't accept it. Instead, they didn't even know it was enough and pointed at the two of them and scolded them.

The dignified Viscount, how come you have no ambition at all and are so obedient to Lei Wen? Where is your dignity! ?

At this moment, a burst of noisy discussion suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention and finally resolving the situation for the two of them.

Weissachin turned around and saw that Raven was slowly walking out of the hall, surrounded by more and more nobles.

You don’t need to guess to know that this is the arrival of the Fox family’s wedding party!

After exchanging glances with the surrounding nobles, Wessassin also followed Raven.

When the door opened, the first thing that greeted him was the slightly cold spring air, and then he was shocked.

As far as the eye can see, there is the endless motorcade of the Fox family.

Soldiers in silver helmets and holding spears and shields stood neatly on both sides, like a city wall made of steel.

On the opposite side was the Eagle Army who came to welcome the bride.

Everyone is wearing black armor, and the formation is even more strict than the Fox family's Fire Fox Army. It looks like a giant dragon dormant on the ground, ready to rise into the sky at any time.

It's obviously just a Baron family, but this time they met, the Griffith family's army was on par with the Fox family's, or even vaguely superior!

Montreal is sitting on the back of the 3-meter-tall third-level monster "Fierce Mane War Stallion". The molten embers of his fourth-level armor that looks like flowing lava are as invisible as a torch in the dark night.

Archbishop Thomas walked alongside him.

One position behind the two, Gul'dan followed.

Raven mounted his clawed yellow flying lightning and walked up to him unhurriedly. His back was straight, and although he was solemn, his expression was quite relaxed.

As he approached, Raven saluted: "Earl of Montreal, Archbishop Thomas!"

"There is no need to be polite in the relationship between you and me." Montreal showed a satisfied smile: "Along the way, your territory is the most prosperous and your army is the strongest. It seems that it is extremely right to give my daughter to you. What a decision!”

"Archbishop, look, is my daughter's husband young and promising?"

Thomas smiled and nodded: "Indeed, Baron Raven not only made great achievements in the world, but also made great contributions to the church..."

Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a noise among the Fox family's team.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of fiery red bloomed in the silver-white army, and came to the three people accompanied by rapid horse hooves.

"Raven!" Nancy's eyes were full of joy: "This journey has been really depressing, but now I can see you."

Raven's appearance has not changed much, he still has black hair and black eyes, and his eyebrows, eyes, lips and teeth are as handsome as she remembered.

If there is a difference, it is that compared to two years ago, Raven's temperament is more elegant, and his movements are a little more calm.

Nancy looked at Raven, and Raven looked at Nancy.

After two years of not seeing each other, Nancy became more and more beautiful.

Perhaps in order to appear more mature, her long fiery red hair was combed back, but it backfired and could not suppress her lively temperament at all.

The facial features are somewhat stretched, but the round face is still pink, especially the pair of tiger teeth brought out by the smile, which is cute and playful.

She is still wearing her favorite red color, but the cuffs are tightened tighter; her legs are close together, riding diagonally on the horse in a lady's way, the fluffy skirt is pressed into a morning glory, and her delicate round scalp is The toes of the boots are facing each other.

According to imperial tradition, the newlyweds are not allowed to meet each other before the wedding. Nancy's move can be said to be rude.

Montreal frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "Go back quickly, you are about to get married, what do you think you are like?"

"Your Majesty the Earl, there is no need to be so harsh." Raven smiled and looked at Nancy: "She has always been like this."

Looking at Nancy, Raven recalled every detail of their time together.

At that time, Nancy was the same as now, regardless of her status as a noble lady, she insisted on going to the bloody highlands.

"Yes, I have always been so willful!" Nancy rode her horse to Raven's side, turned to look at Montreal, and stuck out her tongue.

Seeing this, Thomas smiled and joked: "As the old proverb says, a married daughter is like a strong horse in the stalls. Your Majesty, it seems that this horse no longer belongs to you."

Montreal wasn't really angry at first: "Indeed, but at least there is one benefit - I don't have to worry about whether I have a grandson."

This was said cryptically, and Nancy blushed and looked aside. Archbishop Thomas laughed, and Raven pursed his lips and did not express his opinion.

After Thomas laughed, Raven said: "Lord Earl, Lord Bishop, and Mr. Guldan, the hall has prepared wine and food for you. You have worked hard all the way, so take a break first."

Montreal smiled and agreed, handed his hand order to Guldan, and ordered him to lead the army to find a place to settle down first, and then followed Raven into the hall.

This time the wedding procession was huge, not only for the sake of pomp, but also to show the strength of the Fox family.

The effect can be said to be immediate.

At least, those vassals who were originally wavering temporarily extinguished the idea of ​​betrayal; and those who looked down on the Fox family had to re-evaluate whether their cognition was accurate.

Raven, Montreal, and Thomas sat together, and Nancy sat next to Raven. Of course, there were nobles who came to pay respects, toast, and try to establish a relationship with him, but the one who was qualified to toast was at least a viscount.

Nancy looked at Raven quietly.

In the two years since she returned to Hovi City, she always heard news about Raven, which always made her very concerned, but out of a little self-esteem, Raven did not contact her, and she never contacted Raven.

Now sitting with Raven as his fiancée, she only had eyes for Raven.

And Raven also paid attention to her feelings, poured wine for her, introduced every dish to her, and the waves emitted between their eyes always made her heart tremble.

It got dark quickly.

Montreal and Thomas both had to go back to rest. Although Nancy wanted to be alone with Raven for a while, they were not married after all, so she had to leave reluctantly.

The next day, April 26, Nancy did not show up, and Bishop Montreal and Thomas also stayed at home, and Guldan attended the cocktail party on behalf of the Fox family.

Denise brought Weston back to the Eagle Territory under the escort of Mansene.

On the same day, Viscount Hyde of the Slater family arrived.

On April 27, the head of the Slater family, Earl Tyrone, and the emperor's special envoy, Marquis Anthony, arrived together.

The Slater family, the Fox family, Marquis Anthony representing His Majesty the King, and Archbishop Thomas representing the Church of Light, all four forces gathered together.

They did not show any conflict, but got along very well, just like old friends for many years, leaving the nobles who wanted to see the signs confused.

The time came to April 28.

The wedding of the nobles has always been complicated, and the higher the level, the more so.

Both parties of the wedding have been busy since the early morning.

Raven did not get a good sleep either. The banquet ended at 8 o'clock the night before, and he went to bed at 10 o'clock. He was called out of bed after 12 o'clock and started to wear a wedding dress.

This dress, worth 3,378 gold coins, is indeed worth its price. It is made of silk produced by the third-level monster "Human-faced Moth". The deep black color has a hint of solemn green, and it is dotted with gold thread, jewels, and a variety of accessories.

Even with three maids serving together, it took a full hour and a half to get dressed.

Another half an hour later, at 2 o'clock, Nancy, wearing a wedding dress, came to the castle and became a model with Raven, allowing the painter to record their appearance.

It can be regarded as a wedding photo of this era.

No matter what era the wedding is, it is inevitable to toss.

Raven and Nancy stood in the same posture for at least 3 hours, and the servants of the two families were also very busy - exchanging betrothal gifts and dowries.

The nobles who came to congratulate did not sleep either, and sent their men to inquire and calculate the value of betrothal gifts and dowries of both parties.

Every detail of such a grand wedding can be talked about for more than ten or even decades.

Around 5:30 in the morning, Nancy left.

At 7 a.m., Raven rode his warhorse to the Eagle Town Church.

The wedding officially began.
