"Praise the Lord God! God bless the wedding!..."
The sky-shattering shouts echoed in the capital, rising like a tidal wave, as hot and fierce as a fire, and surrounding like a hurricane!
The high priest raised his staff high and stood on the big temple, enjoying the fanatical shouts. He looked down and saw hundreds of thousands of people lying on the ground, praying devoutly to the sky above their heads, like an endless swarm of ants. He raised his head and saw that the No. 2 hot air balloon "Heart of the Gods" was suspended at a height of more than 200 meters, swaying in the wind from time to time and beating like the heart of the gods.
"A miracle comes...spread the glory of the Lord God!..."
The high priest's face was like that of a god, and his heart was filled with emotion. With such a divine object, future missionary work will be much easier.
Then he looked around. All the priests and elders raised their heads and looked at the huge balloon suspended in the sky. Their expressions were either shocked, solemn, dull, or surprised.
The main body of the "Heart of God" in the sky is a paper balloon coated with rubber, with a clay brazier for heating air at the bottom, and a slender hemp rope hanging down from the end.
Chimel, the second-level divine priest of the Lake Kingdom, calculated the height, fixed the hemp rope on the top of the large temple, and carefully pulled and fixed the paper balloon. And a large group of craftsmen and priests from the kingdom are busy in an orderly manner. Some measure the wind speed, some observe the flames, and some hold on to the ropes, always ready.
"Priest of Divine Enlightenment...unprecedented Divine Enlightenment!..."
Looking at this scene, the high priest was silent. After a while, he looked in the direction of Shulot, with a smile on his lips.
"Bless you, my child!"
The prayers in the capital resounded through the sky and reached everyone's ears. In the chief palace not far from the great temple, the sleeping elder suddenly woke up. He opened his cloudy eyes and looked through the open zenith at the red heart in the sky... His usually expressionless face suddenly showed a trance.
"Well, this is?..."
"Dear elder, today is the wedding of His Highness Shulot and Princess Alyssa."
Shadow Guard Chief Chevali took two steps forward. He looked at the elder with concern and whispered back.
"The 'spiritual heart' in the sky is a creation of the Kingdom of God in the Lake. It can control fire and rise into the sky, and can fly into the sky when heated."
"Control fire and fly into the sky, be heated and fly into the sky..."
The elder murmured in deep thought. He listened carefully, and in his ears were the fanatical shouts and the pious blessings and prayers of thousands of people. He tilted his head slightly and stared at the high priest on the big temple. Shuter is holding the ancient staff high, standing at the highest point of the capital city in the lake, accepting the bows and salutes of hundreds of thousands of people.
Seeing this, the elder lowered his eyes slightly, stood up slightly, and looked towards the king's palace in the distance. Under the auspices of Kakamazin, the sacred marriage is taking place. The Mexica sacred tree extends two strong root systems, dividing the east and west lands, and then closely combines them through marriage, which not only stabilizes the power of the royal family, but also paves the way for future inheritance!
"Bless you, my child!"
After a long time, the elder smiled lightly and whispered to himself. Then, he looked at the hot air balloon hanging high in the sky, then at the high priest who was overwhelming the capital, and closed his eyes calmly.
"In the name of God, witness the wedding...little Shuttle...you must have no regrets!..."
The charcoal in the brazier burns for a few moments, and the flame gradually becomes smaller. Chimel watched for a while, then personally led the craftsmen and priests to tighten the rope of the hot air balloon. Under the traction of the rope, the "Heart of the Gods" slowly lowered, finally landed on the top of the large temple, and was transported into the spacious main temple.
"Praise be to my god Huitzilopochtli! His power is infinite and he controls the sky, the earth and the lakes!... The Lord God sends auspicious omens, blesses the sacred wedding, and promises the couple God's blessing!"
As the "Heart of God" fell, the high priest chanted again. Behind him, the slightly fat Ugel's expression changed slightly, and he opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, he just muttered in his heart.
"A wedding blessed by the Lord God, a couple promised by the Lord God?... If this idea spreads... Oh, high priest!..."
The priests chanted in unison, and the prayers in the capital suddenly became intense. Hundreds of thousands of believers chanted their final praises with fanatical expressions and tears in their eyes.
"Praise the Lord God! You must believe in my god Huitzilopochtli! He is supreme, supreme, and omnipotent!..."
In the King's Palace, Avitt looked solemn, holding the scepter tightly in his hand and sitting upright. He watched the huge "God's Heart" rise and fall without blinking. Even though he was prepared, his heart was still filled with surprise.
Avitt looked complicated and said nothing. After a while, until the cheers and prayers gradually subsided, he glanced at the high priest from a distance, his eyes deep.
"A miracle comes to bless the wedding..."
"Not bad, really good!"
Kakamazin looked solemn and had a smile on his lips. This is the most sacred wedding he has ever hosted, and it will also be the most grand wedding in the entire world!
Inquiries about intentions were made, fortune and misfortune were divined, nobles performed dances, and miracles were performed in the sky. After these large-scale ceremonies, the rest of the process is just like a normal wedding, held in the mansions of both men and women.
Thinking of this, Kakamazin raised his head, looked at the sun that was slightly setting in the west, and sang loudly.
"...The ancestors blessed the wedding! The sacred wedding welcomes guests from all over the world and holds the first dinner in the palace of the ancestors!"
Following this chant, the crowd of spectators in the King's Palace gradually dispersed. The atmosphere in the venue relaxed, and familiar guests talked in low voices and asked about the miracle just now. Hundreds of servants poured into the king's palace, setting up seats in the open air and in the houses, and preparing delicacies for the dinner in the corners of the palace.
Within a moment, the tempting aroma of food spreads. Xiulote was sitting in the side hall, smelling the smell of corn cakes and barbecue, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He has been sitting here since morning, with a solemn demeanor and motionless. He is already very hungry.
"The dinner is about to begin... Well, it doesn't matter if I'm hungry."
Shulot licked his mouth, his stomach growling hungry. He looked to the right side of the wall with a worried look on his face.
"My little Alyssa, you must not starve!..."
In the side hall next door, an old woman with a solemn appearance walked in surrounded by several noble ladies. Then, she stretched out her hand and took Alyssa's arm affectionately.
"Come on, little Alyssa, come with me!"
"Okay, uncle."
Alyssa Tingting stood up, like a light bird, and was led by Kakamazin's wife, leaving the king's hall and going to the backyard of the palace. Before leaving, she looked at the side hall on the left with concern, where Shulot was.
"Uncle, Shulot hasn't eaten anything all day..."
"It's okay. As a samurai, being hungry for a whole day is not a big problem."
The old woman smiled slightly. She stretched out her hand, took a small pot of honey water from the maid, and handed it to Alyssa.
"Come, little Alyssa, let's drink some honey water first. When we get to the backyard, there will be honey snacks and dried fruits."
"But, Shulot hasn't eaten anything all day..."
"Haha! Stupid boy, you are the most beautiful lotus flower in the royal family! Little Shulot wants to marry you, how can he do it without some hardships?"
The old woman smiled kindly and looked at Alyssa gently. This is the grandniece she has watched growing up. She is kind-hearted, lively and well-behaved, and the most lovable.
"...Little Alyssa, you have to remember that you are the eldest princess of the royal family. From now on, even in front of little Shulot, you must have your own ideas, and you must not be eaten to death by him!... .”
"Huh? This..."
"Stupid boy..."
The old woman looked at Alyssa who looked worried, shook her head and smiled.
"Little Alyssa, do you want little Hulot to love you more?"
"This, aunt..."
Alyssa blushed slightly and nodded slightly.
"Thought!"
"Okay, let my aunt tell you some experience!... From now on, you must not only be nice to little Shulot, but also make requests to let him spend more time on you... Sometimes, you can hold it in a little bit, Sometimes you have to let go a little more...you have to give him unforgettable tenderness, and you have to have your own little temper..."
The old woman smiled and followed the instructions.
"...Remember, men are all greedy monkeys. You should be the peach at the top, seduce him with the aroma and color, and make him jump to reach for it. If he takes a bite, it will be unforgettable. ..The harder it is to get it and the more it costs, the more he will cherish it...Your uncle Kakamatsu has been given enough face by me outside for so many years...but after returning home... ...hehe..."
"Huh? Peach and monkey...aunt and uncle?..."
Alyssa blinked and tilted her head slightly, surprise appearing on her face. She listened to her aunt's teachings, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled crookedly. That smile is so beautiful, like a hibiscus emerging from water, and that face is so beautiful, like a snow lotus in full bloom.
"..."
Looking at Alyssa's beautiful smile, the old woman was stunned. She reached out her hand, touched her grandniece's smooth face, and sighed.
"Alas! Such a beautiful girl...it's really cheap, little Shulot...it's really cheap of the Holy City..."
In this way, the two of them smiled and whispered while leaving the front hall where the banquet was being prepared.
The first dinner was held at the woman's home, which was the king's palace. This is the final part of the royal wedding during the day. At the first dinner, the bride Alyssa could not appear. With the help of the wedding messenger, she would wash up and dress up, put on gorgeous wedding clothes, and wait quietly in the backyard.
A few quarters of an hour later, the banquet arrangements in the front hall were completed, and the palace became completely noisy. Although it is said to welcome guests from all over, all envoys, nobles and warriors who do not have enough status can withdraw. There was a special banquet outside the king's palace to entertain thousands of ordinary warriors. Those who stayed in the king's palace were all the elders of the royal family, the great nobles of the alliance, and a few envoys from foreign countries.
Avitt held the scepter in his hand and sat in the center of the front hall. Although he had a smile on his face, he was not very interested. He is the woman's patriarch, the host of the banquet, and the king of the alliance. The great nobles of the alliance came forward to express their blessings to the king, and some even offered poems.
"Blessed by the Lord God! The princess is as pure and beautiful as the clouds, and Your Highness is as heroic as the mountains. When the clouds meet the mountains, they are like the lingering spring rain, beautiful and touching!..."
"Praise the Lord God! The princess's beauty is something I have only seen since I was born; His Highness's talents are unknown to everyone in the world. The Princess and Your Highness are truly a perfect match blessed by the Lord God!..."
Listening to the compliments in his ears, Avitt's smile became stiffer. Thinking of the precious daughter he raised with his own hands and held in the palm of his hand, he would be Shulot's wife from now on, taking care of the housework and raising children for him...
"Xulot, you bastard!..."
Avitt pursed his lips and clenched the scepter in his hand, feeling pain in his heart.
"If you treat Alyssa badly in the future..."
In the king's palace, the aroma of food became more and more intense. The aroma of various spices mixed with chili peppers makes people appetizing and mouth-watering. A guard came in a hurry and reported back to the king.
"Your Majesty, the dinner is ready!...Would you like to invite His Highness Shulot to come out now and participate in the dinner..."
"Oh? Is the dinner ready?"
Avitt stood up and looked at the bright sunset in the west. The sunset falls on the gorgeous gardens and courtyards, filling everyone's eyes and smiles. It's the perfect time to hold a wedding dinner.
"Okay! Go ask Uncle Kakamazin to announce the start of the dinner!"
Avitt ordered in a deep voice. Then, he glanced at the side hall and smiled slightly.
"As for Shulot... let him sit in the side hall and be hungry for a while longer!..."
