Harry Potter: I Am a Legend
Vol 6 Chapter 31: , Grand Ceremony
Early the next morning.
Crowds of maids awaken Silby from meditation.
The wedding time announced by the queen has come, it is an extremely grand ceremony, on this day, they have to dress up and travel.
The first thing that was brought up was an extremely gorgeous red leather vest with a crisscrossed red gold brooch.
Silby opened his arms skillfully, allowing the maid to wear the vest on him. After putting on the vest, another maid brought a gilded robe with dark blue and crimson feathers, waiting for him to put on the cloak. The maid brought another pair of soft riding boots and helped him put it on.
After wearing these, the maid fetched a silver plate. In the plate were some fragments but essential accessories-a gem ring on her hand and a top full of gems, which reflected colorful light with a little movement. Crown.
The maid sighed while serving Silby.
"You are so handsome. You are really a born king."
Silby looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a high crown and he was very luxuriously dressed. Even more luxurious than his father Ramiro I's dress.
He couldn't help thinking of his father. If he saw him now, he would feel relieved or angry.
After watching it for a while, he couldn't help but his mouth turned upside down: "Without the blessing of the church and the kingship from heaven, how can I become a true king."
The maid's fingers trembled slightly, and she touched a gold brooch.
After she was dressed, the maid stepped back.
The guards in iron armor stepped forward and opened the palace gate for him. The gate rumblingly opened layer by layer, leading to the outermost layer.
All the way straight, covered with red flowers.
Silby walked along the flowers blankly, and every time he passed an iron guard, the iron guard knelt on one knee and clenched a fist with one hand on his chest.
That attitude of loyalty is enough to move even the most demanding rulers.
But Silby was still expressionless, neither admiring the guards nor letting them get up, so he walked to the main gate of the palace without distraction.
Large swaths of white flowers were placed in front of the huge palace, and the sunlight shone on the ground, reflecting the floor shining brightly. Row upon row of carriages that came to attend the wedding outside the door, it is even more luxurious.
And above the golden car in the center, Queen Pandora has long been waiting for it.
The chief of the palace knelt on one knee and handed Silby a silver saber decorated with precious stones and keel.
According to the ancient customs of the Iberian Peninsula, the bridegroom must wear a sword on the wedding day and stand beside the bride to protect the bride from being snatched by others.
Although he is a wizard, or a king, this custom still continues.
Silby walked towards the chariot with a saber in his hand, and the hordes of servants knelt on the ground.
Silby stepped on the servant's back, boarded the huge chariot, and stood beside the queen.
Today, the queen finally took off her old red mask and put on a thinner pure white veil. She was wearing an ivory silk dress and skirt with countless silver patterns on the skirt. And her cloak is made of white velvet, without any patterns on it. Compared with the luxurious Sylby, she looks simple. Like a female peacock next to a male peacock.
The palace door opened, and the convoy rumbled and drove down the mountain.
"What is this doing?"
Silby asked interestingly.
"Go to Pandora's largest square."
The queen sat upright and replied, "There are gods there to bless us."
"Oh? Which god?"
Silby bent down and secretly said in the bride's ear: "By the way, my father is a Catholic. If your faith conflicts with me, I will..."
"How about you?"
The queen interrupted him with a smile.
Silby shrugged. "I'll be cut off from my poor father."
"Shhh, don't talk too much."
The queen smiled unpredictably, very dignified: "Others will despise you."
"You seem to be very experienced?"
Silby asked nonchalantly. : "Why are you so skilled."
"I was married once, you are not happy."
The queen joked with him rarely, under the white gauze, her eyes were like silk.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm afraid you will have to make another third time."
As he said, Silby laughed himself: "I'm still young, and I want to marry a few more."
"If you don't speak, I will be very grateful."
The queen said: "We are going out soon."
They were close to the bottom of the mountain, and there was the last wall of Pandora City outside.
Before reaching the wall, Silby heard the faint cheers outside. He felt that the cheers were no different from the cheers of the Muggles watching the execution wizard. The citizens of Pandora had never seen themselves, and their love for Queen Pandora might be limited. But as long as there is excitement to participate, people will flock, whether wise or not.
Creak.
A group of powerful men turned the wheel vigorously and pushed open the huge iron gate that separated the palace from the outside world.
For a moment, the cheers flooded Silby like sea water.
He saw a row of dancers walking by on stilts in the middle of the road. They had red skirts like umbrella crowns, dancing as they walked. Musicians, drummers, flute players and fiddlers play and sing on the side of the street.
Groups of Pandora Acrobatic Troupe either turned somersaults, or walked out upside down, stepped on a plate with one foot for a while to maintain balance, and then together formed the Great Pyramid.
On the side of the road, a huge brown bear awkwardly danced with an oriental cobra under the command of flute and drums.
They were all Pandora citizens who came to watch this grand celebration spontaneously.
Silby felt that if he saw these things a few years earlier, he would jump with excitement. If the female officer does not come to him, he can play outside for a month. Only now, he wants to stand upright like his father, without squinting his eyes.
The convoy rumbling past the carnival crowd.
Although the queen was wearing a veil, she could vaguely see the beautiful and distorted face under the veil.
As she passed by, the men opened their mouths and drained water. Even the clown who tossed the orange forgot the action in his hand and let the orange roll to the ground.
The wizard who played the flute also put down the flute in his mouth, and watched the queen's carriage pass by. As soon as the flute stopped, the awkwardly dancing brown bear and the cobra immediately fought together.
The chaos caused by the queen's beauty did not last long.
Soon, guards in golden robes separated the crowds. The knights on white horses cleared a road for the Queen and Silby for the convoy to pass by.
Soon, they came to the square in the center of the city.
Silby was dragged to a dark room by the court official of the palace, where he was taught various rituals and rules.
Queen Pandora was taken into another dark room, where she was to stay until the ceremony officially began.
The ceremonial officer was probably afraid that Silby didn't understand anything, and lost the face of the city masters of Pandora, so he kept repeating all kinds of trivial red tapes with him.
Silby listened absently, but focused on the square outside.
The wizards who were invited by the queen got out of the carriage one after another.
Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were among them.
Under the guidance of the attendants, they sat on the long tables displayed in the square in turn, waiting for the start of the ceremony and banquet, and watching the performance before the grand ceremony.
Not only that, but there are also many wizards who have never seen each other coming from all directions. They wear all kinds of clothes, speak different languages, and sit noisily in the square.
Silby was a little excited when he saw all this in the dark room, and the number of wizards outside satisfied him.
"...When you give the gift to Queen Beatrix, she will give you the magic wand representing the power of the kingdom, understand? Hey... Lord Silby, you heard Did I speak?"
The ceremonial officer saw Silby absent-minded, so he kept reminding him. Silby grinned, revealing a row of white teeth: "Of course, I'm always ready."
Soon, the ceremony began. Queen Pandora sat on the golden sedan chair and was carried to the center of the square by her servant, facing the steps of the wide marble square.
At the same time, rows of food fall from the sky. It is wine filled with silver jugs, pastries filled with pork, pine nuts and eggs, sweet corn crumbs, and oatmeal crust baked with chopped dates, apples and oranges. And wild boar rib meat.
They fall precisely on the table of each banquet table, as if they were changed out of thin air.
The banquet has not yet begun, the king has not yet entered, and no one else has done anything. But Slytherin did not hesitate to pick up a piece, and put it into his mouth like no one else.
Gryffindor held his wrist and whispered, "Salazar, pay attention to etiquette."
Slytherin rolled his eyes and laughed: "When your servant becomes a king one day, you will know that all manners are nonsense."
"Do you still treat him as your servant?" Gryffindor asked worriedly.
"Why not? He signed a contract with me. As long as he can't get rid of my spell for a day, he will be my servant."
With that, he clenched his fist fiercely and smashed a piece of pigeon pie into mud.
Next, the dishes are getting faster and faster, with boiled trout wrapped in shredded almond wrappers, crabs boiled with strong oriental spices, large chunks of lamb chops stewed with almond milk, carrots, raisins and onions, and new The grilled fish cakes are hot.
When others saw Slytherin enjoying the food without scruples, many people followed him, holding the food in various hands and stuffing them into their mouths, causing the palace guards to frown in disgust.
However, the moment when the ceremonial officer held Queen Beatrix passing by.
All the noise and gluttony disappeared.
I saw Queen Beatrix wearing a long white dress, her soft brown hair draped over her pure white shoulders, hanging down to her waist, and a slender golden crown on her forehead. Walked on the carpet covered with flowers. The face under the veil makes the sun dim.
The wizards stopped breathing, and the fish cake in Slytherin's hand fell on the table. He didn't see the queen's face last time. He was somewhat indifferent. But when he saw the queen's face, he couldn't help but swayed, thinking that as long as he could get her, he could pay any price.
He even immediately wanted to curse Silby and replace him.
Slytherin was not alone in thinking this way, the wizards from all over the world wanted to be attracted by the magnet, and firmly attached to the queen's body.
It wasn't until the queen was seated on the chair at the highest point of the square that her face became unclear due to the distance that was too far away, and the wizards all sighed in melancholy, and some even stretched their hands to the crotch.
......
"Let me say, you men are really worthless." Untimely sarcasm came from the corner of the table. "This queen must have done tricks on her face."
This harsh sound awakened many people. They stretched their necks to see that the speaker was sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the long table. It's a woman. Her hair is not long, it is bright silver, and she wears a blue robe. She is not very beautiful in appearance, but it has an inexplicable and attractive quality, and that quality is a bit sharp.
"what did you say?"
After discovering that it was a woman, the wizards had a better attitude.
"I said, there is a problem with the queen's face."
The silver short-haired woman lazily threw a peanut into her mouth and shrugged: "Have you ever seen a person with no pores on her face?"
"The jealous jar from there, hey, I'm afraid it's not jealous that others look better than you." Some male wizards sneered.
The short-haired witch sneered coldly: "Reptiles can only wriggle under the control of instinct."
The wizard was furious, "If I am a reptile, so are you."
The witch laughed and did not even bother to argue.
Slytherin was taken aback when he heard the arrogant talk, and just turned his head hurriedly, only to see a familiar figure. He shook his hand and said in disbelief: "Ravenclaw? What are you here for..."
He wanted to stand up and say hello, but the other person reacted faster than him. It was Gryffindor. He stood by the table and said in surprise: "Ronay, why are you here?"
The blue-robed witch stretched her waist and slapped haha, "I received the invitation, and I think this thing is weird. Turns out to see, okay, you two are also there. I'm afraid it's not like these stupid guys. After horse urine, I will come to this muddy water."
Gryffindor laughed.
Others are not as good at talking as Gryffindor.
Her words offended the wizard sitting next to her.
Someone said unhappily, "Hey, little witch, keep your mouth clean, who has **** in his head."
"I didn't name it by name, but you want to be seated in the right place, are you cheap?" The woman sneered without hesitation.
boom!
The ridiculed wizard is about to get angry.
Gryffindor rushed over with quick eyes and hands, and made a round of battle: "This friend, give me a face. Don't fight in the nest anymore, okay?"
Gryffindor had a high prestige among wizards, and when he said that, the resentful wizard calmed down, flicked his sleeves, and sat down with a cold snort.
Salazar Slytherin walked up to the witch and hugged her arms. "Hey, Ravenclaw, you just said that the queen has a problem, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, just intuition."
Ravenclaw took a sip of wine and suddenly pointed at the two and laughed loudly: "Hey, I said you two, won't you fight for the queen."
When she said so, Gryffindor and Slytherin looked at each other, their faces showing more or less embarrassment.
"Then you didn't win. Tell me, who won?"
Ronay asked with interest.
Slytherin turned black on the spot, so he turned his head and said nothing.
Gryffindor hurriedly interrupted, "Ronay, we haven't seen you for a long time. Without your advice and guidance, I always feel like I'm hitting a wall everywhere."
"In addition to fighting in your mind, you are leading people to fight in groups. If you hit a wall, you are asking for it. Who makes you so iron?" Ravenclaw sneered.
Her face is full of shame. Gryffindor respected her very much.
He pulled the wizard away from Ravenclaw and sat down beside her. Ravenclaw immediately moved his hips and sat a little further away from him. Gryffindor moved over with a cheeky, hehe smiled: "Ronay, look, you haven't given me a divination for a long time. Today is just an opportunity, can you give me a divination?"
"No way."
Ravenclaw turned his head, hummed and said, "I will not fortune telling people who are stubborn to see."
"Oh, Ronay, you are the best."
Gryffindor smiled brightly and shook Ravenclaw's arm childishly, "Come on, help me calculate my recent fortune."
Ravenclaw was unmoved, letting Gryffindor pull it anyway.
At this time, Slytherin recovered from his depression. He also sat on the other side of Ravenclaw, and said calmly: "Ronay, you are the smartest of us. I also feel that this city recently It's weird, but I can't tell you where it is."
When he said this, the stern Ravenclaw expression loosened a little. She opened the entangled Gryffindor, hugged her arms, and said proudly: "And then."
Slytherin opened his hands, "We do need the help of a wise man. I don't think there is anyone else but you."
"Hmph, you can talk with your mouth."
Ravenclaw gave Slytherin a white look, and then she took out a tarot card from her arms, shook her hand, muttered something, and then drew a card and threw it on the table.
Ronay Ravenclaw stretched his head to look, and the nonchalant expression immediately became extremely stiff.
A towering tower was destroyed by lightning, and two people fell to the ground from the collapsing tower.
Gryffindor looked at the Tarot cards, looked at Ravenclaw, looked at the Tarot cards, looked at Ravenclaw, looked at the Tarot cards, looked at Ravenclaw, his eyes moved. go with......
"what's happenin?"
Slytherin asked.
Ravenclaw stood up immediately and looked around: "A bad omen, a big omen!"
