In the human customs of the Yala world, marriage is a very troublesome thing, and the marriage of a person with a certain status is even more troublesome.

In Yarra custom, when two men and women of equal status get married, the man needs to prepare a wedding venue in his hometown, while the woman needs to organize a team of different sizes, and a large part of the team will be more familiar with the woman's wedding organizers, carrying a large number of gifts to the man's home. After arriving at the wedding venue, this group of people will be responsible for planning everything in the wedding with the man's people, so as to avoid some unpleasant things that happen due to the big difference in the wedding customs and taboos between the two parties.

This kind of custom, once led to the folk wedding comparison, the number of relatives and the value of the gift continues to expand, to the most exaggerated time, an ordinary family often needs as many as 100 people to dare to hold a wedding, the man should also organize more people to receive and cooperate, to both families to bring too heavy a burden.

However, the custom of this habit tends to be automatically adjusted, when everyone compares for a period of time, and finds that such behavior has no meaning except to create more and more trouble for everyone, this atmosphere will gradually fade, and both families will do what they can, and will no longer blindly compare.

When the four members of the adventuring group arrived at the agreed meeting place in the morning, outside the east gate of the city, they saw the wedding party at first sight. The procession consisted of seventy or eighty people, and the carriages alone added up to ten.

At the front of the line is a richly decorated carriage, made of heavy solid wood, painted with festive red lacquer, the corners are hand-carved with a variety of delicate gold patterns, on both sides of the carriage, the transparent crystal polished into six windows, but the windows are one-way, and the people inside can clearly see the outside. People on the outside can't see inside. The top of the carriage is carved in the shape of a dragon representing protection, and the dragon's posture is elegant and steady, and its expression is lifelike. The carriage was very large, and it seemed that there was enough space for six people to sit side by side, and the stability circle embedded in the interior of the carriage and the reverse application of gravity worked together. It can make the carriage very comfortable to sit on.

Because of the unique customs in the vicinity of the neutral land, the bride is not allowed to meet relatives and friends on the way to the wedding, and such chores such as eating and resting on the way are taken care of by a close friend or personal maid selected by the bride in advance. This custom represents the blessing that once married, there will be no return, if anyone breaks this custom. It's the equivalent of cursing the bride to her face for a quick divorce, and few people are stupid enough to do such a thing. In order to adapt to this custom, the special wedding carriages near Rhea often use this special one-way transparent crystal to make the windows, so as soon as they saw this carriage, Catherine and her party understood that Freya should be inside.

It was followed by five small passenger carriages of the six-wheeled standard, with long bodies and six rows of seats, two in each row, separated by an aisle. For passenger carriages. This kind of twelve-person carriage can only be regarded as small, like the urban public carriage used in the city of knowledge, most of which are thirty-two or thirty-six, and the size is much larger than these. Of course, the wedding procession does not need such a large carriage, and the size of twelve people is enough. These multi-person carriages are prepared for the woman's wedding organizers.

Finally, there were four carriages, the carriages of which were tightly covered with thick tarpaulins, gifts from the woman to the man, according to the rules, when the procession returned after the wedding. The man's family should also exchange gifts of similar value in return, so theoretically, all but the first bride's carriage will return with the same load.

After seeing the convoy from afar. The first thing that popped into the hearts of the four members of the party was surprise. The reason for the surprise is not that the wedding procession is too large, but that it is too small. As the daughter of the lord of a giant city, Freya's wedding party should be huge, and the departure ceremony of the team should also be spectacular, in Catherine's imagination, it is related to the face of the city lord Odin and Freya. The wedding procession should be at least two or three hundred people. As the darling of the capital of knowledge, Freya, who is regarded by everyone as the princess, should at least have a large-scale farewell ceremony on the day when she said goodbye to her singleness, but these conjectures have all failed. There were no ceremonies, no huge teams, everything went on quietly.

"It's getting weirder and weirder. Catherine jumped off the horse at a distance of dozens of meters from the wedding procession and muttered, "Why do I always think that this wedding is a bit of a problem?

"It's hard to say. Pannis jumped straight from his horse to Catherine's side, squinting his eyes and looking up, his gaze crossed a distance of a hundred meters, and landed on a small black shadow at the top of the East Gate. That's Odin, as a close relative who shouldn't appear today in theory, Odin still couldn't help but sneak over to see off his daughter from afar: "What is this guy's idea, but it shouldn't be too dangerous, otherwise with the extent that guy dotes on his daughter, he will definitely escort him in person regardless of everything."

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much. Catherine shook her head, as if to shake off the doubt in her head: "Let's go over and meet, no matter what oddities there are, we always have to face them." ”

"yes, it's useless to guess here for a hundred years. Lina also turned over and dismounted, turned around and picked up Vivien again, straightened the priest's robe, straightened the mace and the law book one by one, and held the novel in her arms with one hand, and then led the horse towards the convoy: "It doesn't matter if it's weird or not, let's just help Freya fulfill her wish as friends and former partners." As long as this goal is achieved, no matter how much weirdness there is, what does it have to do with us? Sister, you just have too many concerns, and so are you, Pannis, why do you want so much? When you encounter a problem and solve a problem, these two steps are enough. ”

Pannis and Catherine looked at each other helplessly, smiled helplessly, and also led their horses to chase after them, and soon walked to the side of the convoy.

"It's Captain Erlan. Seeing a middle-aged member of the City Guard walking around the convoy, Catherine beckoned, "Why are you here too?"

"Ah, Miss Catherine, you're here. A smile appeared on the rough face of the forty-year-old Erlan: "This time, I will lead the team and be responsible for sending our little princess to the Free City." ”

"You lead the team?" Catherine asked in surprise, "You haven't personally led the team in charge of the operation for a long time, why did you come out this time?"

"No way, the group of little bastards under his command are more unreliable than the other, and they can't let them affect the mood of the little princess. Erlan grinned and said, "I don't feel comfortable entrusting Miss Freya to those bastards, so I can only lead the team myself." ”

"Come, let me introduce you, you know Lina and Vivien, this is Pannis, our new team member and new partner. Catherine then said to Pannis, "Pannis, this is Captain Ayrlan, one of the three heads of the City Guard. ”

"O golden-tier warrior. Pannis shook Erlan's outstretched hand: "I didn't expect there to be such a hidden figure in the City Guards. ”

"The eyesight is so good. Erlan gave a thumbs up and praised, "You can see at a glance that I am a teammate of Miss Catherine." But I'm not much of a hidden figure, just an old guy who can't hold a sword. ”

As one of the captains of the escort team, although his status is not low, he is rough and has a bold personality, and it is easy to bring good impressions to the people around him, and after a simple exchange, Pannis has to admit that this person is very likable, and this cooperation along the way should be very pleasant.

"Erlan, did you notice anything wrong with this escort mission?" Catherine asked directly, "Does the president have any instructions?"

"No, it feels like a normal wedding journey. Erlan scratched the short hair on his head: "The city lord just instructed us to obey your command on this journey. ”

Catherine and Pannis exchanged glances again, and after a moment of silence, they asked, "Then why are there so few people, and there is no farewell ceremony?"

"Oh, the lord may have forgotten to tell you. Erlan said, "Miss Freya asked for everything to be simple, and the city lord also thought it would be better to keep it simple, so there were less than eighty people. By the way, the lord of the city once said that it is better to have fewer people, the target is relatively small, and it is not easy to be targeted. Well, Miss Catherine, you mean that someone is planning to attack our convoy this time?"

"Not really. After thinking about it for a while, Catherine chose to conceal it: "It's just that the road is farther and there are more belongings, so it's better to be careful." And what about the farewell ceremony?

"The lord of the city knows the status of the little princess in everyone's hearts. Erlan smiled: "Originally, everyone planned to prepare a grand farewell ceremony for the little princess, but the city lord said that he was worried about affecting the New Year's celebration of the city residents, and strictly ordered us to keep it secret, so this time it was a secret departure, and it was not even reported in the newspaper." ”

"Sure enough, the president is still thoughtful. Although Catherine said this, the doubts in her heart not only did not decrease, but became thicker and thicker, and she couldn't help but remind: "However, Captain Erlan, we had better be careful this time, I heard that several thieves have recently crossed the border from Rhea, and maybe they will encounter it." ”

"Don't worry, I've warned the little ones I brought, they'll be cheering up. Ai Erlan patted his chest: "It's on us, this time I brought thirty people, all of whom are carefully selected elites, and they will definitely ensure the safety of the little princess." Moreover, with the four of you as the backing, no one is afraid. ”

"Well, it's good if you have faith. Catherine nodded and asked, "Where's Freya?"

"Well, the little princess is in the car. Erlan said, "Go and see, I heard that you are also coming, and the little princess is very happy." (To be continued.) )
