It was 7: 45 in the morning.
Although the New World and the Black Sea had already ushered in the rainy season in July, the small half of the duchy with St. Elvin as the center was still sunny and breezy.
Now [Weather Fairy] combined with the power of [Pseudo Authority – Position Stealer] allowed Elvin to directly command the weather within a thousand kilometers.
Not to mention anything else, but it was not a problem to make the most fertile agricultural area in the central part of the duchy have good weather every year.
Although he didn't know what happened to Jeros and Stephanie, at this critical moment, he really couldn't care less about them.
After Elvin sent out a spirit realm message and confirmed that there was no response, he comforted Levina, who was slightly worried when she heard that her sister was missing. The wedding was held on the lawn in front of White Swan Castle as usual.
Although Elvin was a saint of the Goddess, it was a bit unreasonable not to hold the wedding in her church.
But the oldest church in the New World was only the "Church of Glory" with a history of only a few decades, and that pocket-sized size was not enough for a monarch's wedding.
In the end, the wedding planning board decided to simply hold the grand duke's wedding in the grassy courtyard of White Swan Castle, as long as there were high-level clergymen as witnesses.
Chirp chirp chirp …
More than a dozen pairs of robin birds, symbolizing loyalty, chirped crisply at the top of the tree, and thousands of well-dressed guests were already sitting on both sides of the green lawn under the guidance of the administrative staff.
Among them, there were eight kings or crown princes, thirty-five governors, more than a hundred grade three Transcendents, and no less than hundreds of wizards, clergymen, and ordinary Transcendents.
Elvin was wearing a black military uniform that had been completely customized after the duchy's modification, with a golden ribbon and the unique Founder's Medal, and shiny military boots on his feet. He was already waiting on the platform made of white marble.
He was tall and straight like a mountain.
Hanging on his waist was the [Sword of the Golden Lion] that belonged to the Duchy of Garriott. This "Sword of the King" shone brightly under the sun and attracted the attention of countless people.
Some time ago, Elvin had also used this "Sword of the King" to complete Countess Milan's knighthood ceremony. At the same time, Countess Milan was fortunate enough to become the first noble of a duchy to be knighted with this sword.
Although they didn't obtain real land enfeoffment, they only had corresponding land rights and interests, or rather, land income.
The original meaning of "feudalism" was to "build a country by feudalism", and Elvin's approach could also be called "feudalism without building", that is, "enfeoffment without bestowing land, rank of nobility without descending to the people".
The practical effect was to reward meritorious officials who had made great contributions, tying their interests with the interests of the country, and also eliminating the possibility of local separatism.
Unlike the mainland, where a large amount of land still belonged to the traditional nobles even after the urbanization reform was completed, all the land in the Duchy of Garot belonged to the state. In the future, only the right to use it would be transferred.
In order to meet the needs of the future development of the country, the government had the right to compensate for the expropriation of this land.
Elvin was generous enough to his good friend. Not only did he give Milan the hereditary title of Countess, he also gave Lieutenant General Snyder a bottle of [Lesser Elixir of Youth], which was also the second bottle he gave out besides his aunt.
Time passed, and soon, it was eight o 'clock.
Duuuuu!
Under the command of Mydora, the royal band sponsored by Levina blew the horn with all their might. The loud sound of the horn echoed in the sky for a long time, which was the signal for the bride to enter the venue.
However, most of the guests with keen senses had already seen Marquis Duke standing at the southernmost end of the venue, ready to welcome his daughter, but they didn't see the carriage that was supposed to pick up the bride.
"Huh? Did something go wrong? "
"Isn't it supposed to be on time?"
"It can't be, right?"
Just as the guests were looking at the empty periphery of the venue and whispering to each other, a madam from an unknown family suddenly exclaimed.
"Look, the sky!"
"Neigh!"
At the same time, a loud neigh of a horse attracted the attention of all the guests to the blue sky.
When they saw the thing in the sky, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths slightly.
"Isn't this … too exaggerated?"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
Thirty-six Gryphon Aerial Knights in gold-plated armor led the way. Six snow-white pegasi with silver horns on their heads and a pair of wings on their backs pulled a luxurious carriage inlaid with resplendent gems behind them.
A luxurious fleet of aerial carriages that looked like they came from a fairytale world arrived in the sky above White Swan Castle in the blink of an eye.
The guests could also see that the noble family emblem decorated on the carriage had changed greatly.
As a noble monarch, not only was the "Thorned Sea Snake Emblem" legitimately used a combination of gold and silver, but it also had the lion and crown that represented the Tulip Family's monarch.
Moreover, this wedding also realized the union of the Duke of Garriott's family and the Marquis of Aymore's family, so the emblem in the emblem was a circle of orange leaves and stars.
In the end, the grand duke's emblem was:
The blue shield in the middle had a silver Thorned Sea Snake coiled around it. The two shields on the left and right were respectively a golden lion and an emerald dragon, surrounded by a circle of emerald orange leaves and stars. At the top was a golden crown.
At the bottom of the flag was the motto of the Garriott family: "Endless Exploration."
It also symbolized the "adventurer's blood" flowing in the bodies of the three core members of the family, Elvin, Olivia, and Anita.
Before any of the three of them could reach the level of "demigod" equal to the Ocean Goddess, the "adventurer's blood" would always be passed down in their bloodline.
The carriages slowly landed, and the guests slowly closed their mouths.
Surrounded by four beautiful bridesmaids, the most beautiful bride of the day, Olivia, elegantly and calmly stepped out of the carriage. Escorted by her father, she walked along the path planted with Chalacian roses on both sides and walked towards Elvin, who was waiting at the end.
Toot!
After another bugle call to welcome the bride into the hall.
A group of boys and girls invited from the church's choir began to recite hymns in their young voices:
"Bless the Lord, the true God of glory, the mighty one bestows on the people.
Universal grace lasts forever, the roots are deep, the leaves are luxuriant, the flowers and trees are always new.
Give me wisdom, make me strong, and my heart is firm at all times.
.....
Give me wisdom, make me strong, and I will not lose my way in the race of heaven … "
Surrounded by the pure and sacred hymns, everyone's eyes were focused on Olivia. Elvin was no exception.
On the girl's head was a diamond tiara given to her by Daly Weena. She was wearing a pure white wedding dress, revealing the beautiful curves of her neck and shoulders. Layers of white gauze piled up in front of her chest like clouds. The nearly five-meter-long gorgeous dress was decorated with diamonds and pearls.
Under the sunlight, sapphire butterflies danced around her.
Olivia's entire body emitted a dazzling radiance. She gradually overlapped with the "glowing girl" that Elvin remembered from the first time he met her.
There were a total of four bridesmaids behind her. They were Angel, Clarissa, Leonara, and Milan's younger sister, Irina. She was an eighteen -year-old girl with long blue wavy hair.
As they approached, the Chalaji roses immediately grew rapidly. The giant rose trees formed a circular arch in front of them. When Olivia walked past them, they bloomed one after another.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
It was so fast that the sound of the flower buds blooming could be heard.
Then, "fairies" jumped out of the fiery red rose buds one by one. They acted as the flower boys of the wedding and followed closely behind Olivia. Countless petals of light scattered throughout the hall.
"This …"
Being caught off guard, the madams and young misses among the guests were about to turn red from watching the show.
As one of the unmarried, Levina raised her head and expressed her deep envy. She even gradually fell into fantasies about her future wedding.
But soon, she shook her head vigorously, letting a strand of golden-red hair fall to her delicate cheek. She was vexed.
"Damn it, with this guy in front of me, how can I be interested in those vulgar women?! But if this goes on, it doesn't seem like it's going to work even if we become lovers. Could it be … brothers? "
Tap … tap … tap …
Stepping on jeweled heels, the beautiful bride carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley, ivy, and myrtle. Step by step, she walked up the marble platform. Marquis Duke handed the bouquet to Elvin as if it was a priceless treasure.
The two men completed the handover of the girl's life. In the past, she was protected by her father. In the future, she would be protected by her husband.
The ceremony was on track.
The clergyman who witnessed the ceremony happened to be Archbishop Lance, who had attended Levina's coronation ceremony. Holding the Holy Bible of the Goddess, the Archbishop, who was still hale and hearty, asked on behalf of the Goddess:
"Calvert, do you take Olivia as your wife? Do you love her, comfort her, respect and protect her, and be loyal to her for the rest of your life? "
"I do!"
"Olivia …"
The two met and fell in love in the Spiritual World since they were seventeen years old. They had been together day and night for more than six years, plus the time flow in the Spiritual World was thirty-six times faster. Although they were only married now, they had already spent more time together than an ordinary couple.
However.
The two Wizards, whose paths were compatible, were walking on the path of transcendence that was constantly transforming from mortals to Truth Manifestation. Every day, they were learning, improving, and becoming a new version of themselves. Every day, they gave each other a sense of freshness, not only in their bodies, but also in their souls.
Love was always as fresh as it was in the beginning, but with the added permanence of family.
With Elvin's current strength, even if he did not improve, it would be easy for him to live for seven or eight hundred years. It was destined that too many people would be passersby along the way, but he firmly believed that his soul mate would continue to walk with him!
Olivia's advancement to the third level was close at hand, and this was definitely not the end of their journey.
They had long been an inseparable part of each other's lives.
It is a blessing to have you by my side.
At the end of the ceremony, Elvin and Olivia put on each other's rings, which were presented by the bridesmaid Angel.
The two of them had too many rings that had witnessed their growth. From the very beginning, Olivia had patted her chest and promised that she would maintain it for the rest of her life, to the most recent [Creator's Blood Ring], which had been pushed to the bottom of the box.
However, none of them were as significant as the diamond ring, which did not have any supernatural powers, but symbolized eternity.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands, Elvin and Olivia looked at each other and clasped their hands. Emotions that only the two of them could understand were transmitted through their eyes, but they were clearly felt by each other.
"I want to hold your hand and go to the end of the world to see if it is a mountain or a deep valley, a ruin or a sea of flowers!"
"I believe that the stars will speak, and the stones will bloom. After passing through the wooden fence of summer and the snowflakes of winter, we will finally arrive!"
They smiled in tacit understanding like they had thousands of times in the past, and kissed gently amidst the blessings of the crowd …
