It was a famous tradition in Garth City for the groom to go around the city and then marry the bride.
A long time ago, when people in Garth got married, they would hold such a ceremony. It was said that the whole of Garth City would witness the marriage. But with the gradual expansion of Garth City, slowly, only the wealthier families could do such a thing. Especially after Leon revived Garth City, this tradition gradually became unsustainable. Because the scale of Garth City continued to expand, Leon built a third circle of the city in addition to the traditional two-layer city, so that Garth City formed a three-ring structure of "the lord's residence city, the inner city, and the outer city." Nowadays, Garth City covered an extremely large area. Normally, if one wanted to go around the city on two legs, it would definitely not be possible to walk around the city in a day. Even if one went around the city on horseback, if one did not change horses, it would be difficult to walk around the city in a day.
Marriage was a joyous event, and it was worth making a big deal out of it. However, no matter how big a deal it was, the groom could not be allowed to ride out of the city early in the morning, and then go around the city in the cold sea breeze. He would not come back until it was late, exhausted.
This was not a wedding, but a funeral!
If one was in poor health, he would lose half of his life if he ran around like this for a day. And if he walked around the city, it was almost time to go to the hospital.
Therefore, since the construction of the outer city of Garth City was completed, the tradition of the groom going around the city had to be abandoned. Even if it was a family who wanted to follow the tradition, they could only go around the inner city. Fortunately, there were wide roads between the city and the inner city, and between the inner city and the outer city. It was not troublesome to go around them.
However, Leon would not be so perfunctory. He was a serious person. Since he had promised Kalisa to hold a wedding according to the tradition of the people of Garth, he would complete it to the letter.
So, accompanied by his guests and friends, after he left the residence of the city lord, he went straight to a prepared horse, ready to ride around the city.
Of course, this horse was not an ordinary one. It was a mutant horse with the bloodline of a magical beast. As long as it was full and rested, it could run wildly for two days and two nights in one breath.
But before Leon could mount his horse, he heard an angry roar coming from the sky. Then, a green shadow whizzed over and landed on the ground with a gust of wind.
It was a green dragon. Its body was not particularly large, but it was rather slender. Every scale on its body had clearly been polished and polished. Each one was bright and clean like a mirror. The tiny cracks that were commonly seen on ordinary giant dragons could not be found on its body at all, and its entire body was filled with a smooth beauty. If it weren't for the fact that the thorn-like dragon horns on her head were still ferocious, she could simply be called a beauty among the giant dragons.
This green dragon had a silver saddle on its back, and there was a hook to hang weapons next to it, indicating its identity. It was not an ordinary dragon, but the mount of a dragon knight.
In fact, the Dragon Knight who rode on a giant dragon was Leon himself.
"Hey! Are you sure you're not mistaken? " The moment the dragon landed on the ground, she shouted in a slender voice, "You are the knight of I, the Shadow of the Poison Swamp, Lord Galstoby. How can you ride that broken horse whose meat is too hard for me to eat when it's such an important matter in your life?!"
Leon was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
"You are right, but … our tradition is to walk around the city, not to fly around. Are you sure you are good at running? "
The green dragon Galstoby laughed. "I am a dignified giant dragon, don't look down on me!"
As he said this, his body emitted an emerald green light. With this bright green light, the huge body quickly shrank, and finally turned into a horse with an emerald mane.
"Come on up." The horse that the green dragon had turned into shook his head, revealing a very human-like smile, and said, "Let us run around Garth City. Go and come back quickly, don't let the bride wait too long!"
Leon smiled and cupped his hands to bid farewell to everyone, and then he turned over and mounted the horse. Without needing him to give an order, the green horse laughed and took off. Its speed was so fast that it was like a green gust of wind, and in an instant, it disappeared.
For today's ceremony, the main road of Garth City and the roads outside the city had been specially emptied, or they had been specially marked out for Leon to use on horseback. So even though the green horse was faster than expected, there was no need to worry about hitting people.
Seeing the green steed galloping away, everyone came back to their senses and started talking about what had just happened.
"Commander, that dragon can actually transform!" A somewhat rough young man came to the side of Gerrard, who rarely wore casual clothes, and said excitedly, "The Head Priest's dragon can actually transform into a horse. Commander, can yours do it?"
As one of the two Dragon Knights of the Church of the Void Mask, the commander of the knights, Gerrard's mount was also a giant dragon, and coincidentally, it was also a green dragon like Leon's. So it was no wonder that his subordinates would think so — in their opinion, they were both giant dragons, and both were green dragons, so their abilities should be similar.
Gerrard smiled and shook his head. "Taraiston is a mountain green dragon, and Galstoby is a thorny green dragon. They are in different directions. Thorny green dragons are often good at magic, but mountain green dragons are completely fighting. Taraiston may not be weaker than Galstoby, but if you want him to change his appearance, it will be too difficult for him! "
The young knight finally understood and could not help but sigh.
Although according to what Gerrard said, his green dragon was not worse than Leon's, one could transform into a horse, and the other could not. This was clearly a gap.
In fact, Gerrard's green dragon was really not as good as Leon's. Giant dragons were divided into "superior species" and "inferior species." Mountain green dragons were only slightly more advanced than ordinary "inferior species," but thorny green dragons were already close to the "superior" level. If it was not because Taraiston was older and had grown more, at the same age and level of growth, he would be far inferior to Galstoby.
Even if Taraiston was older, if they really fought, he would not be a match for Galstoby.
This could be seen from their social status. Taraiston could only be a king in the wilderness, far away from human habitation, while Galstoby could be a king in the swamp not far from the famous city of Garth City on the east coast for nearly two hundred years. There was obviously a gap between their abilities.
Unlike Tarayston, who lived in the barbarian land and had never seen the world, Garstobi had been facing all kinds of risks for more than a hundred years. The biggest risk, of course, came from Garth City, which had been the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest for generations and had been guarded by legendary strongmen.
If Galstoby was not strong enough, he would have been killed by the legendary strongmen of Garth City.
However, even if he was strong, Galstoby really relied on the Goddess of Marsh to survive.
The Goddess of Marsh and the Goddess of Harvest did not have a good relationship. In order to fight against the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, she was not stingy with promoting and bestowing favors. As his subordinate, Galstobi had gained a lot of benefits, which was why he was able to live next to Gars City for so many years.
From this, it could be seen that, unlike Taraiston, Galstoby's most powerful ability was not force, but wisdom.
This could be seen from the fact that he specially came here and transformed into a horse to participate in Leon's wedding.
Seizing the opportunity to build a good relationship with his superiors was the difference between a smart person and an honest person.
