122: wedding procession

Some might still harbor covetous thoughts!

But how powerful could a force be that covets Arthur's Two-Headed Wyvern?

After all, a Two-Headed Wyvern is ultimately only a powerhouse at the Earth Knight level.

Even if this news reached the Continent of Gods, Arthur would have no fear! Because he had many Legendaries at his disposal!

Besides the Two-Headed Wyvern, the Mountain Giant's presence was also indispensable in Arthur's bridal procession!

Because the Mountain Giant was the gift Arthur had previously promised Marquis of Roses to continue the marriage alliance.

This Mountain Giant was naturally not Zog or Zoffy, who were already familiar with Arthur, but a newly exchanged one.

Regardless, since Arthur now had many Legendaries backing him, he wasn't afraid of having one or two more Earth Knights.

Finally, there was the thousand-strong Golden Sharp Mad Lion Cavalry Regiment!

Of course, the above were just representatives of military might; there were also various other accompanying personnel.

Additionally, to show the importance of this wedding, Arthur sent mages to magically grow two rows of enchanting roses along the five-hundred-kilometer road between Initial City and Rose City!

This project took over three weeks to complete and consumed a significant amount of effort!

However, with the completion of this project, everyone in the Kate Kingdom marveled at Arthur's extraordinary nature.

In truth, mages magically growing flowers wasn't surprising, as there were many mages in the Kate Kingdom capable of such a task.

But those willing to plant flowers for three consecutive weeks were definitely only the mages under Arthur's command.

Since mages had their own pride, Arthur's action was also an indirect display of his ultimate control over his subordinates, shocking many.

This five-hundred-kilometer rose-lined road would pass through Arthur's parents' Fierce Lion Territory.

Thus, Arthur also built a rose-lined branch road leading to Mad Lion City.

The reason for building this branch road was in consideration of his future wedding with Karona.

Karona's parents had died when she was young; she was an orphan and had no maternal home.

Therefore, after discussion between Arthur and his parents, they decided to consider Mad Lion Castle as Karona's maternal home.

During his wedding with Karona, Arthur would go to Mad Lion City to pick her up, which was why the rose-lined branch road was created.

On January 1st, as the new year began, it was also the day of Arthur and Olivia's wedding.

The entire Initial City was filled with a festive atmosphere, covered in flowers and decorations.

Due to the long distance between Initial City and Olivia's Rose City, even with mounts, a full-speed round trip would take nearly ten hours.

And the wedding ceremony was scheduled for noon.

Thus, at one in the morning, before dawn, Arthur, dressed in luxurious formal attire, mounted the back of the Two-Headed Wyvern, Andel.

Glancing down and feeling that everything was ready, he simply said:

"Depart!"

With those words, the entire procession of over a thousand people galloped along the rose-lined road toward Rose City.

After five hours of galloping, the entire procession finally arrived at Rose City just before six o'clock.

At this time, Rose City was also a scene of festivity.

Perhaps knowing the time of Arthur's arrival, even though it was just past six and the sky was barely light, the main road of Rose City was already crowded with people.

They were all there to watch the excitement; commoners in this era generally had few entertainment activities, so naturally, they all wanted to see such a grand wedding ceremony.

Additionally, according to the etiquette of the Continent of Gods, on the wedding day, the groom would distribute items to the passersby he encountered.

Commoners would usually distribute food, while nobles would distribute coins, so many people also came to try their luck and see if they could get some money.

Regardless of their motives, when Arthur's procession entered Rose City, they were met with enthusiastic cheers from the city's residents.

At this moment, the Two-Headed Wyvern was walking at the front of the procession for the sake of the formation.

When those people saw that Arthur's procession included not only a Two-Headed Wyvern but also a Mountain Giant and over a thousand Demonic Beast cavalrymen,

the cheers grew even more enthusiastic.

It was just like the excitement Arthur felt in his past life when he occasionally saw an army equipped with various heavy weapons on the march.

In response, a happy Arthur waved his hand, and his subordinates began continuously tossing coins to the people on both sides of the road, with a nine-to-one ratio of silver coins to gold coins.

Arthur had prepared a total of twenty thousand gold coins for Rose City to be tossed as a way to spread blessings.

This meant two thousand gold coins and 1.8 million silver coins were being tossed out.

Twenty thousand gold coins were insignificant to the current Arthur; if it weren't for his own great need for gold coins, he could have been even more extravagant.

Although this was a stingy act in Arthur's eyes, to the people of Rose City, Arthur's gesture was incredibly generous!

Because the entire population of Rose City was only eight hundred thousand; on average, everyone could receive two silver coins.

But in reality, there were probably only two hundred thousand people crowded on both sides of the main road, meaning they could each receive an average of twenty silver coins.

One must know that joining the army generally only paid thirty silver coins a month!

Twenty silver coins were already equivalent to a month's salary for many.

Furthermore, previous nobles mostly tossed copper coins, with silver coins being a rarity.

Thus, in the eyes of the Rose City residents, Arthur's action was extremely generous, and the sounds of blessings became even more fervent.

Afterward, it took Arthur a full twenty minutes to travel from the city gate to Marquis of Roses's castle.

This was all due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of the people in Rose City!

However, a wedding should be festive, and Arthur was satisfied with this.

Since the betrothal gifts had already been given, Arthur arrived at Rose Castle, spoke with The Marquis and Marchioness for a while, and then took Olivia away under their reluctant gazes.

Today, Olivia wore a pure white wedding dress that perfectly complemented her snow-white skin and silvery-white hair.

The veil on her head didn't obstruct her vision much, so when Arthur stepped forward to take her away, Olivia was the first to proactively reach out her slender hand.

At this moment, Olivia's expression was very complex, filled with both the shyness of being about to marry Arthur and the sadness of leaving her familiar home.

After catching a glimpse of the reluctant eyes of The Marquis and Marchioness, her eyes even reddened, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, nearly falling.

Arthur took in Olivia's situation and couldn't help but slightly tighten his grip on her right hand.

When Olivia turned her head in confusion at Arthur's action, she heard him say:

"Olivia, don't be too sad. The distance between our two places isn't that far. If you want to come back and visit in the future,"

"I will never stop you. You can just ride the Two-Headed Wyvern back, and you'll be here in two hours!"

"Mm!"

After Arthur's words of comfort, Olivia's mood clearly improved significantly. Seeing this, Arthur felt relieved.

Otherwise, if the bride's eyes were red from crying when they returned, his parents might think he had bullied Olivia, which wouldn't be good.
