This magical appearance immediately aroused cheers from the wedding guests. They first shouted in surprise, and then quickly clapped in time with the rhythmic explosion of sparks, until the explosion completely stopped, and four newlyweds appeared on Red Carpet between the benches on both sides.
Finally here... The travel writer Monica no longer discussed with Alesu the novel plots that were familiar to her. Her eyes quickly swept across the eight men and women who were about to get married today in the slowly dissipating smoke. She was surprised to find that she knew most of them.
The ones closest to her and closest to the altar were the young private person Detective Sherlock who made the judgment of "inhuman behavior" in the church mural theft case the day before yesterday, and his female assistant Irene.
Completely different from his usual slovenly appearance, most of the thick beard on Sherlock's chin and lips that made his face look too mature had been carefully shaved off, leaving only a light and even layer of dark stubble, which made his young face more clear-cut. The iconic Plano Glasses is still on the bridge of the nose, but the frame has been replaced by a more delicate gold-rimmed style. The windbreaker on the body has been replaced by a well-tailored white wing-collar shirt and a silver jacquard vest. A gold watch chain is pulled out from under the collar and swings to the left breast pocket. The lower body is covered with brown trousers and black leather shoes that expose half of the ankle.
Standing next to him was the female assistant who always liked to quarrel with him on weekdays, but once she got into work, she immediately showed amazing concentration and tacit understanding. Irene's thin body that was always hidden under loose daily skirts was now gently wrapped in a holy and flawless wedding dress. The wedding dress chose a simple and elegant long skirt design, embellished with fine lace and scattered pearls. Her long, silky black hair was pulled up and fixed behind her head, covered with a hazy translucent veil with lace on the edges. Her slender hands were wearing short white lace gloves. Her right hand gently held the hem of the wedding dress in front of her for walking, while her left hand rested on Sherlock's generous palm, with her fingertips slightly curled, showing complete trust and trust.
The assistant who kicked me and other people out in order to protect the scene actually had such a feminine side... Monica noticed that Irene's round face, dotted with a few freckles on both sides of the nose, was flushed with excitement and happiness, and he couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration.
Under everyone's gaze, Sherlock and Irene looked at each other affectionately, came to the altar under the "Fool" holy emblem, and gave up Red Carpet to another newlywed couple behind them.
Monica also knew both of them. Also standing on the left was Klein, a young employee of the antiquities conservation company whose professional abilities she had internally questioned. He was wearing a classic black tuxedo, tailored to make him stand tall and tall. The collar revealed a white shirt underneath and a delicate gold chain, with a beautifully cut amethyst pendant hanging from the end of the chain. His short black hair was meticulously taken care of, and his expression was solemn. His right hand was holding his female colleague Angel, who was similar in age to him and was almost the same height as him today.
The latter's eye-catching long pale blond hair was not tied up, but spread smoothly down to her waist. Under the sunlight shining through the stained glass window, it glowed with a gorgeous and soft luster like silk. Her purple eyes drooped slightly, and between her plump breasts, a small Maple Leaf-shaped pendant hung from a delicate silver chain, swaying gently with her subtle breathing. A faint but hard-to-ignore blush appeared on her cheeks with extremely delicate features and flawless white and delicate skin, as if she was still not used to being the center of attention.
The champagne gold Mermaid Wedding Dress on Angel fit closely on her upper body, perfectly showing off her slender waist and plump breast curves. The skirt spread out from her knees like flowers, and the short front and long back design cleverly revealed her slender and well-proportioned calves and ankles. The perfect proportions made Monica, who is also a woman, feel jealous.
She was actually wearing flat wedding shoes... Well, look at the black leather shoes on Mr. Klein's feet. The heels seemed thicker than ordinary men's leather shoes. It seemed that he must have grown taller. When I saw him at the door of the company yesterday, he was definitely not as tall as he is now... Monica whispered in his heart Sheng assessed the height difference of the newlyweds, and his eyes lingered on them briefly until they also took steps forward, slowly moving forward under the eager eyes of the guests, especially the local unmarried young men, who were mixed with surprise and envy, and finally stood side by side next to Sherlock and Irene.
It seems that this Miss Angel is very popular in Yarnam City... Monica, who is a former romance novel Author, subconsciously looked around at the reactions of the guests around him, and then returned his attention to the entrance of Red Carpet, looking at the third couple participating in the group wedding.
There is no doubt that these two are also her "acquaintances".
Compared with the first two newlyweds who are similar in age and well matched, the third newlywed couple is particularly different in age and body shape. It is no wonder that when Monica saw them for the first time, he subconsciously regarded them as a father and daughter rather than a couple.
Mr. Dawn, who has a dark complexion and is over 1.8 meters tall, has a lot of conspicuous silver strands in his thick black hair. It is now neatly combed back, revealing his broad and full forehead. The charcoal gray double-breasted dress highlights his calm, elegant and experienced mature male charm. His blue eyes are as calm as lake water, but there is a trace of uncontrollable excitement and joy inside.
Accompanying him was Christine Miss, who was petite in comparison, as if he had just grown up. She wore an ivory white wedding dress with a train, and the skirt was decorated with complicated and exquisite handmade lace. The lace stand-up collar of the wedding dress elegantly held up her beautiful face, which was almost mundane and beautiful. Her skin was white and transparent, like fine jade. The most eye-catching thing is the huge, rich and rich ruby pendant she wears on her chest. The dazzling brilliance representing Gold Pound attracts everyone's attention even more than that fair and delicate skin.
Seeing them, I always feel like I believe in love again... Monica, who lost faith in equality and wonderful love early on because of his family's belief in "Lord of Storms", but regained his faith after converting to "Evernight Goddess", murmured and silently offered blessings to this couple with a huge age gap.
Although Dawn and Christine have not been in Yarnam City for a long time, they generously donated money to a relatively small hospital and bought a lot of idle properties, which made the locals have a good impression of them. Therefore, their arrival aroused warm applause.
Monica, who had only been here for a few days but had already completely integrated into the group, also clapped before turning his attention to the last couple.
Then she froze.
The man standing on the left has a thin face with sharp edges. His thick black hair is not deliberately combed, but is combed casually to one side. He wears a pair of slender gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes look cold. He is wearing a gray windbreaker that is incompatible with the occasion. A gray vest is exposed under the open skirt, and the collar of the white shirt underneath is vaguely visible. An extremely exaggerated-looking revolver was slung across his waist. The metal part had a cold sheen, and the leather shoes on his feet made a squeaking sound on Red Carpet.
The person holding his arm actively and affectionately was a graceful young lady. Her medium-length blond hair was only loosely pulled back a small part, and the ends of her hair were gently held down by a wide-brimmed hat. Her Deep Purple eyes, which were like the deep starry sky, were slightly narrowed at the moment, as if she was enjoying some kind of fun, with light flowing in her eyes and a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
She wore a black low-cut jacket on her upper body, revealing the graceful lines of her neck and collarbone. The waist-cut silhouette outlined her slender waist and plump and firm breast curves. A white women's shirt was vaguely visible under the jacket. The lower body is a pair of black trousers that tightly wrap the legs, with smooth lines, extending to the ankles and stuffed into a pair of polished black high-top leather boots. The knee-length windbreaker she wore was open and swayed gently with her movements, adding a bit of heroism and chicness.
Although the man and woman looked very fashionable, they didn't look like they were attending a wedding. Instead, they looked like they were here to steal the bride. Most of the guests were as stunned as Monica.
But the latter's heart skipped a beat as he recognized their identities.
They were the pirates "Mad Adventurer" Gehrman Sparrow who had a high reward in Yarnam City not long ago, and his somewhat ambiguous partner Angelica Zaki!
These... two legendary figures at sea are also here to attend the wedding? Are the contents in Ms. Fors Wall's novels true?
All kinds of legends about the Great Pirate Angelica and Adventurer Gehrman immediately appeared in Monica's mind, and finally settled on their arms hugging each other.
Bang bang bang - the sharp-thinking Author clapped his hands until his palms turned red.
The other guests seemed to have just reacted at this moment, and joined in welcoming the last newlywed couple.
Gehrman's indifferent gaze hidden behind his glasses looked around and regained some warmth when it fell on Angelica beside him. He nodded slightly towards the latter, and the two of them stepped forward together, walking past Red Carpet came to the altar, turned around and stood in front of the two rows of benches and the guests filled with the Prayer Hall in the position vacated by Angel and Klein, his expression still indifferent.
"The four newlyweds have arrived," Magician Merlin on the side shouted again, "Under the watchful eye of the great Mr. 'Fool', we will witness their sacred marriage!"
"Praise Fool."
The Yanan residents present pressed their hands on their chests and repeated it in a pious low voice. A few foreign guests did not follow. They may have their own devout beliefs, or they may not want to praise the unknown God.
Monica, who has traveled to many countries and attended several local weddings, followed Alesu beside him to praise this Fool. This does not violate the teachings of Evernight Goddess.
After the low-pitched praises stopped, Merlin gave up his seat next to the altar to Archbishop, who was as tall as a semi-giant. The latter held Holy Bible with black and silver patterns, came to Angel and Klein, and asked the rosy-faced Angel:
"Ms. Angel Granger, are you willing to let the man next to you become your husband and enter into a marriage contract with you? Are you willing to love him, respect him, and accompany him until the end of your life, no matter you are poor or rich, in sickness or in health?"
"I do."
Angel held Klein's hand with one hand and the pendant on his chest with the other. He nodded solemnly and answered.
Archbishop nodded slightly and turned to look at Klein:
"Mr. Klein Moretti, are you willing to let the lady next to you become your wife and enter into a marriage contract with you? Are you also willing to love her, respect her, and accompany her until the end of your life, no matter whether you are poor or rich, whether in sickness or in health?"
Klein held Angel's hand tightly, nodded and said:
"I do."
"Very good," Archbishop held up Holy Bible with one hand and held down Holy Bible with the other, looking around the Prayer Hall, "Under the witness of all of you, the two of you have officially become husband and wife.
He did not continue to ask the other three couples, but turned back to the altar and placed Holy Bible, which represented the majesty of "Fool", back on the altar.
This made Monica a little confused. In a collective wedding she attended in Feynapotter, the part where both men and women declared and expressed their love was the most cumbersome and lengthy, but in Yarnam City's wedding it seemed to have been deliberately omitted.
And she noticed that all the guests present did not show curiosity or questions. Instead, they applauded and congratulated the four newlyweds after Archbishop announced that the two had successfully entered into a marriage contract. Even the strangers from outside the country that she had noticed before were no exception.
Maybe this was Yarnam City's special custom... Mr. Gehrman couldn't let Mr. Gehrman see the abnormality... She quickly clapped along, and a smile appeared on her face again.
After everyone calmed down, Archbishop said again in a solemn tone:
"Now you can hug and kiss."
Hearing these words, Klein's expression looked a little nervous. He subconsciously glanced at the benches and the guests sitting above, but Angel took the initiative to hug him up and let their bodies stick together.
In her enthusiasm, Klein no longer hesitated. He put one arm around Angel's smooth blond hair, the other around her slender waist, and kissed her pink thin lips lovingly.
Beside the two of them, the private Detective Sherlock hugged his female assistant, the middle-aged Rich Merchant Dawn kissed his little wife, and even Adventurer Gehrman relaxed his cold expression and kissed the Great Pirate Angelica next to him gently.
Wandering Magician Merlin took the opportunity to raise his cane and point it upward, causing the colorful balls hanging on the vault to explode one after another. Colorful ribbons reflecting the sunlight fell down, giving the sacred Red Carpet a strange brilliance.
As the ribbon fell, the kiss ended. The blush on Angel's face seemed to be transmitted to Klein, making him a little shy; Irene lowered his head, not daring to look at Sherlock with a soft expression; Gehrman and Angelica resumed their detached attitude; Dawn hugged Christine dotingly, which made Monica inevitably think that they were father and daughter instead of husband and wife.
Magician Merlin walked to the altar frivolously, faced the guests and said:
"Originally, the celebration should have started at this time, with the band entering and gongs and drums playing, but due to my selfishness and the strong suggestions of some guests, a special game session was added here..."
With that said, he walked around Klein and Angel who had just finished kissing, and Sherlock and Irene who were holding each other's hands. He stopped beside Dawn and Christine and looked at Gehrman and Angelica.
"I will randomly select a couple and let them tell their love story. This can be the moment when you fell in love with each other, or it can be an incident where love is tested, or some happy moments that make people laugh...
"What do you think, sir?"
He pointed his cane at the indifferent Gehrman Sparrow and asked loudly.
Monica felt that her heartbeat was about to stop. She looked around and found that everyone was looking at the terrifying Adventurer with suppressed smiles. Especially the middle-aged man with tanned skin by the door sat upright with a rather expectant expression.
I remember that in the story of "The Great Adventurer Series", this Mad Adventurer and Angelica sneaked into the wedding scene of a certain the Great Pirate and took the golden basin The pirate who washed his hands was killed on the spot, and the one who washed the church with blood... Thinking of the plot called "Blood Wedding" by readers, Monica swallowed and regretted that he came to attend this collective wedding.
I won't become a part of their story... The imaginative Author Miss shrank his neck and suddenly heard the deep voice of Gehrman:
"This starts with a passenger ship sailing to Bayam and a bottle of Sonia Blood Wine two years ago..."
He... he really said it?
Monica was startled, his tightened neck relaxed, and he secretly peeked in the direction of the altar. The fear in his heart was quickly replaced by curiosity.
Watching Marionette Gehrman controlled by Klein chatting in front of the altar, scolding Sonia Blood Wine for not being intoxicating at all, offending Azik and Bernadette, Anne and even Glaide Sauron hidden in the shadow burst into cheerful laughter. Standing in the corner with long brown-red hair, Angel dressed as Magician's assistant felt like his fists were hardened.
As soon as she thought, Angelica next to Gehrman stretched out his hand and put it around the former's waist, pinched the soft flesh of the waist covered by the windbreaker, vest and shirt, and pinched it hard with three points of strength.
"Hiss... In short, Sonia Blood Wine is just for girls to drink, men should drink Lielangqi."
Gehrman, whose expression suddenly turned serious, ended his hilarious "love story" with a line from "The Great Adventurer".
The expressions of Klein, Dawn and Sherlock also changed slightly, and they secretly covered their waists.
Yes, they are all Marionette controlled by Klein who is currently "Magician" Merlin, and Angelica standing next to them, Angel, Christine and Irene are Marionette controlled by the body of Angel.
With the help of the power of "War Bishop", Angel also gained the ability of Klein's "Marionettist". This collective wedding was essentially a wedding between the two of them.
Because of this, Archbishop only asked "Angel" and "Klein" if they were willing to become husband and wife.
The Angels who came to Yarnam City to attend the wedding, and also to prevent some people from causing trouble, naturally knew this, and other Marionettes would not raise any objections. Only a few "outsiders" involved would have some doubts...
Glancing at the travel writer Author Miss who still had doubts on her face, Angel stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. The experience of multiple kisses transmitted from Marionette to her body still left her with some aftertaste.
It should also be used in other experiences, for example... She just had her mind wandering, and when she controlled the vision of "Spirit Body Threads", she noticed that all the black lines on Marionette present were floating towards the sky.
They all point to Gray Fog at infinite heights, and to "Worm of Spirit" who acts as the agent for control of Marionette...
... Then, these Spirit Body Threads returned to Klein's body again, completely integrating with him.
Phew... this moment has finally arrived...
Angel was refreshed, leaving Mirror Substitution in its place, and the main body entered Mirror World.
