Before Faress could reply, a light flew out of the hand of the woman in the men's suit. The rosy glow of light pulled a few lingering tails of light in the air and tossed lightly at Fares. Faress could only reach out and grab it, and let out a cool breath as he spread out his palm. In the palm of his hand was a round spar, glowing with a rose-colored luster, crystal clear, and the bright red crystal filaments inside were clearly discernible.

This is a high-quality Liujing, judging from the volume of this Liujing, it is already equivalent to 100,000 gold coins. The heroic woman said indifferently: "Escort me to Sardinia the day after tomorrow, this Liujin is both a deposit and your reward, don't tell me it's not enough." ”

"Enough is enough...... Farath smiled bitterly, "it's just this little ...... No, sir. I'm afraid we won't be able to take on this commission. ”

He looked over to Eren.

The handsome woman looked proud, and when she came in, she only stared at Fares, and she felt a little unseen. This time, seeing Farress refused, she looked at the two of them. His lips opened slightly, and he was about to say something. But when he saw Allen clearly, his eyes changed slightly, but he said: "It turns out that I have already accepted someone else's commission first, so forget it." Liujing will return it to me, and I will find another home. ”

Faress immediately handed back the hedron in his hand.

The woman took it and turned to leave. Alan coughed dryly and said, "Next time you pay the deposit, don't smash a crystal over, it's okay for Captain Faress to be above board." If you want to meet someone with bad intentions, you are afraid that the front foot will send you on the road, and you will start to rob money. ”

The woman turned around and squinted, didn't speak, and walked away.

Alan and Faress set a time to set off and left the small building. Sitting in the carriage, Edward said, "That woman is a little eccentric, and she is a crystal as soon as she makes a move. It's not a freshly debuted bird, or something else. Moreover, she shouldn't have been so good at talking, but after seeing you, she obviously changed her words. In this way, she should know you. ”

"I don't remember seeing a woman like this." Alan shook his head, he never forgot it. What's more, the other party is so independent and special, if you have seen it before, you should have an impression.

"You don't have to see each other, now as long as you are a caring person, you should know your appearance characteristics."

Alan frowned: "You mean, that woman just now or someone from the imperial capital?" ”

"Who knows, but I can't rule it out." Edward laughed, "This is just a small episode, don't take it too seriously." It's the Ice Moon Mercenary Group, you first give someone a stick, and then give a candy to eat. Tell me, a second-rate mercenary group is worth your attention? ”

Alan smiled and said, "Because Hoy said that that Fares's gun is not bad." If Huo Yi can comment like this, I should invest in advance, anyway, we really need a guide who can take us north, success or failure does not matter. ”

"Tomorrow is the wedding in Orlando." Edward laughed, "Why don't we make a bet, how many will take advantage of that opportunity to entrap you?" ”

"Anyway, there won't be less than two, what are you going to bet on?"

Edward looked out the window: "Hausen and Severs will definitely send representatives to watch the ceremony, you are a bit of a fool, I won't gamble." ”

"It's boring!" Alan rolled his eyes.

The next morning, a hundred bells rang in unison.

The bell towers of all sizes in the Gun City rang the bell at the same time, and the bell reverberated throughout Yedegar and spread far away. Alan and Edward and Regers had arrived at the White Rock Square in front of the City Lord's Mansion early, where the wedding of the newlyweds would be held. But now, the newcomers are not in the square, they are climbing the mountain behind Gun City, heading to the family temple set up by the Hoy family at the top of the mountain.

I heard that there is a fire altar in the temple that has not been extinguished for many years, and each couple of the Huo Yi family needs to climb the mountain in both hands, and then take the fire from the fire altar, and go down the mountain to return to the white stone square. Put the tinder in the stove in the square, and you're done.

This is the tradition of the Hoy family, where the newlyweds climb and descend the mountain and escort the fire in order to make them understand that they need to support each other on the road of life. As for the fire, it means that the branches are scattered and the descendants are prosperous. It was originally a tradition of the Hoy family, but it has spread in the Gun City in the past hundred years. Whenever a new couple gets married, Yedega will go to the temple to ask for fire, and although the Hoy family does not express its position publicly, it also acquiesces.

It's just that today is a wedding in Orlando, so it's extra grand.

Those who can watch the ceremony from the White Rock Square are naturally the VIPs of the Gun City, and as for the residents of the city, they can only watch from a distance from the high places or the blocks outside the square. As the father and host of the newcomer, Huo Yi was dressed in a knight's suit and stood straight in front of the crowd. Behind was a column of VIPs, including Allen, and the atmosphere was solemn, and no one talked to each other. However, they all looked at each other, and there were a few people who made Alan pay attention.

One was the same woman I had seen yesterday at the Ice Moon Mercenary Regiment, and she was still dressed in men's clothes today, but she was wearing a white robe with a black collar around her. The maroon hair reached only the shoulders, and it was not long to say that it was short, but it was not short. She obviously sensed Allen's gaze and turned her head to glare fiercely, Alan smiled slightly, and turned her face away.

This woman was able to observe the ceremony here, and her status was obviously not low. And she stood there, at least a circle empty next to her, and the few men who were standing closer to her all looked nervous, probably because of this woman.

The second was an old man, with grayer hair than Hoy. Standing beside Huo Yi, he was small, his face wrinkled like tree bark, and he looked ridiculous in a bloated coat. But no one dared to really laugh at him, after all, this was Jomo, the chief of staff of the Nocturnal Black Wolf Army, nicknamed "Black Beaver". There is such a saying about this black fox in the northern capital. I'd rather offend Imperial Marshal Rodek than worry about the black beaver, so it can be seen that this old man is not a good man.

The third was a young man, about thirty years old. He has a handsome appearance and long golden hair. He was covered with a fur cloak, and inside was a rich silver-white robe, and the cuffs were embroidered with gold threads with the pattern of the sword flower. It was the family emblem of the Sword Lord Masson, who was none other than the Duke's younger brother, Kao.

This old and young two, the former represents Rodek and the great prince Hausen, and the latter is the representative of the sword lord Masson and the uncle of Severs. Among the distinguished guests, apart from the unidentified woman, Jomo and Kao were the most honorable. Most of the guests also stood with the two of them as the center, but one of these two people was drowsy and the other was focused on the front, so that the guests who wanted to talk to them but had no idea what to do were only anxious.

After all, the atmosphere was not suitable for social activities, but fortunately, the guests did not stay in the square for too long, and the two newcomers from Orlando, who had set off early before dawn, walked into the square a few moments later. With a smile on their faces, they put the fire they had brought down from the mountain into the furnace, and the fire suddenly tumbled and splashed countless sparks. The people watching from afar immediately burst into cheers, and even Huo Yi's face showed a smile.

Hoy then acted as the presiding officer, presiding over a brief, but ancient, ceremony for the two newlyweds under the watchful eyes of the city's residents and the dignitaries of the square. When the concentric grass ring, which symbolizes the eternal love between the two, is worn from Huo Yi's hand to the top of the heads of the two newlyweds, it also means that the wedding is complete.

Then came the reception, which was the end of the wedding for the couples. But for guests like Allen, it's just the beginning of the show. The reception was held in the hall of the Lord's Mansion, and the square was filled with drinks and pastries for people to take their own to. In the reception hall, after Alan had dealt with a few groups of guests, he saw the old man nicknamed Black Fox coming over with a smile on his face.

Edward smacked him and said, "Here it is." Then he walked away quietly, and the arrival of the black fox drew the attention of most of the people in the room. The old man didn't care either, and raised his glass to Alan with a smile: "Viscount Allen must be the most wonderful young man I have seen in the past ten years, some time ago he killed the alien commander in the mountain city, and two days ago he fought with our Marquis of the Iron Spear without falling behind. I guess now the lovely folks of Ollista know about the Viscount's feat and can't wait to catch a glimpse of you. ”

Alan gave him a "thrilling" slap on the back, and immediately smiled: "Master Qiao Mo thinks too highly of me, but one thing is for sure, I will leave an unusually deep impression on those lovely people." ”

Qiao Mo let out an "oh" and laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed together: "Viscount Allen's confidence is good, and his courage is even better. Oliska needs young people like you, otherwise, it's too boring. ”

The old man lowered his voice again and said, "This time I came to Iron Spear Ridge, in addition to watching the ceremony on behalf of His Royal Highness Haosen, His Highness also has a message that he wants to bring to Viscount Allen. ”

"I wonder if Your Highness has any advice?"

The black fox opened his eyes, his eyes were cold to the bone, which was in stark contrast to the smile on his mouth: "Your Highness said, if you are willing to come to his side, you will be given a knighthood if you want it, and you can choose the official positions below the head of each legion of the official empire." But if you refuse, then even if you get to the imperial capital, don't think about leaving. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Alan to answer, and said with a smile: "I will stay in Gun City for a few days, Viscount Allen can think about it carefully and then answer my question just now." No hurry, no hurry......"

Alan smiled faintly, "But I'll leave tomorrow." ”

"Oh? Then I know, and I wish Viscount Allen a happy journey. The black fox smiled, deliberately adding the word "pleasant". Alan didn't answer his question directly, but since he said that he would leave tomorrow, that is to say, he should not consider changing hands and serve, otherwise he should think about it for a few more days. Qiao Mo is old, how can he not hear the meaning of Allen's words.
