Defending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 209: Snow Festival Carnival

Hanhe Hall, Xue Zhiyu's bedroom.

Different from the colorful peacock-like dresses of the ice spirit man, Xue Zhiyu wore a white long skirt with sparkling golden soul crystals on the hem of the long heavy skirt.

Compared to gold, the golden soul crystals used to make'Golden Leo' are obviously much more dazzling, plus the seemingly unintentional, but in fact, various rune lines on the dress, it is full of The soul crystals are faintly emitting soft golden light, dotted with that gorgeous white gauze skirt...

This is authentic aristocratic gold, full of grandeur and luxurious.

With a low-cut gold-white dress and a slightly raised side of the cloud, Xue Zhiyu today looks a bit less immature than usual, and has a more respectable maturity.

The princess had just left, and Gina and Tacia siblings were on his side. Xue Zhiyu drew back the maids and guards on both sides, and the hall finally calmed down, leaving space for the four of them alone.

"His Royal Highness, the Snow Wolf is ready. It's at the back door of the blacksmith's shop outside the palace. There are civilian clothes ready to be changed. When the celebration is over, we can go over and put on our clothes and set off." Gina said shortly: "I will give Everyone didn’t prepare a lot of things. They were basically dry food. Although the glacier at the foot of the mountain was unsealed, but the frozen dragon road was not there. The road there was rugged and it was difficult to walk with too many things. There was nothing else, that was, during the night. I am afraid that your Royal Highness can only be wronged."

Xue Zhiyu is not free these days. Gina is doing all the preparations for leaving. Xue Zhiyu smiled and said: "What's wrong, for our ideals, it's nothing to suffer, let alone we are going. Traveling around the world, there will be more of this kind of street-sleeping in the wild in the future, and sooner or later I have to adapt."

She paused and asked, "Did you see Grandpa Grandpa when you came here?"

"When I came here before, I happened to see the clan elders entering the palace, as if they had been discussing with your Majesty in the hall."

Xue Zhiyu asked: "Is Grandpa Grandpa holding anything special, such as a copper lamp?"

Gina shook her head: "I didn't see it."

Xue Zhiyu frowned. Grandpa Grandpa said that he would use a bronze lantern as a gift for her marriage, but it was only an engagement after all. It is reasonable for Grandpa Grandpa not to bring it.

However, Wang Feng had specifically asked about the copper lamp before, thinking that he would help himself a lot, and only begged himself for such a thing, I am afraid he would disappoint him.

She thought for a while: "Tacia, how much money do we have?"

"The soul crystal card that Your Highness gave me a few days ago contains more than 700,000, and all of our savings in the past few years are also with me," Tacia said, "It looks like 1.2 million in total. It’s enough for us not to worry about money in a few years."

"On the body?"

Tacia was stunned: "They are in the forge. Your Highness wants it now? If you want it, I will get it now."

"Come here with 200,000 yuan." Xue Zhiyu said with a smile: "Go and come back quickly. Give it to me before the celebration ends."

Wang Feng seems to be short of money. He has borrowed money from himself twice during this period. This is probably also the hobby of most normal people. You can't give him a copper lamp, and you can only give him 200,000 yuan as a thank you.

After confessing this, Xue Zhiyu put aside his thoughts.

The celebration must be attended. After that, there will be a simple engagement ceremony in the palace. Both of these steps must be attended. Then, according to the custom of Ice Spirit, the officials in the palace will celebrate together, and then eat and drink. Whether the father or elder is drunk, it is normal for them to leave.

Xue Zhiyu opened the window, and the noise from outside the palace suddenly came in.

At this time, the sky was bright, watching the maids and guards who were busy running around outside the temple, watching the various soul crystal lanterns, ice sculptures, and paper-cuts that were full of palaces during the ice and snow festival.

Xue Zhiyu's mood was like the rising sun, but all the anxiety he had previously calmed down at this time, his eyes filled with hope and heat.

She was already so familiar with Bing Ling's world, but what would the world outside be like?

………

On the top of Daxue Mountain, the ice bee bowed to the queen bee, forming an auroral vision on the horizon, which was imitated by the ancient Bingling people, forming the ice and snow festival. In fact, the history of the ice and snow festival is much longer than the time when the country was founded. Since then, a tradition has been formed, but when the ice spirit nation is established, such sacrifices are no longer merely imitating, and even the original nature has changed a lot. It is no longer imitating swarms of bees, but worship Ice and snow, worship the gods.

This kind of sacrifice is necessary for the king, not only to thank the gods for the power of the royal family, but also to educate the common people, show the king's power, and make the common people more sincerely surrender to themselves.

The sky was already bright, and both sides of the streets of the entire Ice Spirit City were already full of people watching the ceremony.

At eight o'clock, there was a melodious bell, and the palace gate opened wide.

On both sides of the uniform snow wolf guard honor guard lineup, freshly clothed angry wolves, snow-white, took the lead out of the palace holding a flying king's flag, followed by hundreds of various ice spirit fruits and monster heads. And the maids of many weird sacrifices.

There are musicians on both sides, playing various musical instruments, and a few snow wolf carts pulling a complete set of chimes. The crisp and bright chimes are very penetrating, and they can spread throughout the city when struck.

Then came the gorgeous ice car. The carriage was more than three meters high. It was pulled by sixteen huge snow wolves. The surface of the crystal ice body was polished into various diamond shapes, under the sunlight. With a diamond-like light, through the windows on both sides, you can see King Xue Cangbai and Princess Ona patrolling outside, smiling and waving frequently.

National teacher Oscar rode a snow wolf with him on the left side of the ice cart. With him were young children such as Xue Zhiyu, Xuecai, and Wang Feng. On the right side of the ice cart were Abu Da Zhebye and Donghuang Yigu. The famous ice spirit heroes, these are all star-like figures in the ice spirit kingdom, and even more popular than the king to some extent. The civilians watching the ceremony huddled together with their feet, mostly to witness these heroes. Demeanor, cheers and screams of excitement continued.

Behind the ice cart were hundreds of civil and military officials, the lords of various fiefs, and the children of the royal family, all riding snow wolves.

In the Ice Spirit Kingdom, if the ice bee is a legendary national treasure, then the snow wolf is a real treasure. In addition to convenient riding, outstanding combat power, and good domestication, the wolf nature of the snow wolf has always been affected by ice. Highly respected by the spirit people and the winter people.

The mighty team pulled out from the palace and dragged it for more than a mile. With the sound of drums, bells and cheers, the entire Ice Spirit City seemed to boil.

The speed of the team was not slow. Starting from the palace on the top of the mountain, along the main ice spirit road all the way down, but also paraded for more than two hours, when it finally reached the clock tower in the center of the city, it was almost noon.

The central square of Novosibirsk is surrounded by a sea of ​​people, and ice spirits and snow wolf guards circled hand in hand, vacating the central bell tower altar and not allowing civilians to enter. But even so, Novosibirsk’s square was still The children of the royal family, the civil and military officials were full of stuff.

The time is accurate. At this time, the sun is hanging above the sky, and at the top of the ice peak in the distance, the annual auroral vision has faintly appeared. Soon, the shining silver flakes light up at the top of the mountain. , Under the shining sun, cast a white light in the sky, like an infinitely extending silver belt.

Except for a few old people and officials of the royal family who understood that it was an ice bee coming out of the cave, in the eyes of many civilians, this was a vision of Aurora and a miracle displayed by the ice gods.

The whole city hummed more and more, and countless people cheered, sang and praised.

The sacrifice officially begins!

First, offering a hundred fruits and offering a hundred animals. The long circular table that surrounds the high platform of the bell tower is full of various seasonal flowers and fruits that are unique to the ice spirit. The heads of livestock include common poultry such as chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle, and more are all kinds of monsters unique to ice spirits. In addition to snow wolves, which are never killed by ice spirits, others such as snow monsters, ferrets, and silver stripes Leopards, etc., almost all the monster beasts you know and have seen in Bing Ling are on these plates.

Baiguan and the royal children knelt down below, and Princess Oona also knelt to one side. A maid presented Xue Cangbai with incense that had already been prepared, and Xue Cangbai slowly stepped onto the high platform.

A courtesy officer read the sacrificial words beside him, and Xue Cangbai went to the incense.

Then there was a ring of bells spreading across the city.

Boom boom boom boom...

On the distant city gate, hundreds of soul crystal cannons were fired at once, with the roar of the guns, hundreds of specially made soul crystal cannonballs exploded in the air, like fireworks.

The musicians around played the Bing Ling hymn. Under the leadership of Xue Cangbai, the civil and military officials, the surrounding guards and all the commoners all knelt down and bowed. The ceremony was full of sense...

Hundreds of salutes were fired for more than a dozen rounds, and the "fireworks" all over the city also made Lao Wang feel like he is returning to the earth in a trance.

After the ceremony, it was time for Bingling City to fall into a complete carnival.

There was a banquet set by the royal family in Bingling City, and the whole city was paved along the main road of Bingling.

The royal family will provide quantitative food and unlimited wine on this water table, and more are the food prepared by each household. Each long table will have various activities and competitions. Who prepares more food and tastes Even better, he will become the gourmet champion of the long table and be respected and praised by everyone.

All of these foods are free for people in the city and those who come to watch the ceremony. The hospitality of the Binglings is by no means a word.

The ice cart has been pulled away. The king will lead the royal family’s children and hundreds of officials to walk back to the palace. When passing by these banquets, they will stop to taste delicious food and be tasted by His Majesty the King or those respected heroes. Prepare food, and praise a few words, that will be the supreme glory of every host and hostess.

The whole city was caught in a carnival. It was too lively and too enthusiastic. There were happy smiling faces and warm greetings everywhere.

It is the first time for Lao Wang to participate in such an event. Even though he had been thinking about how to leave before, but at this moment, he could not help but be infected by this passionate scene, so that the enthusiasm of the whole city is fuller than before. The sacrificial ceremony is much more exciting.

Once Lao Wang is invested, once he is released, he is a complete atmosphere maker, even in the original dignified royal team, he is absolutely unique, madly taking everyone's direction.

"My God, this barbecue is so delicious! Uncle, your barbecue is professional, right? Teach me!"

"This berry soup is definitely the most delicious thing I have ever drunk after I came to Bingling!"

"God~lightnovelpub.net~ Why did I eat such a delicious thing? If I can't eat it later, what should I do, ah!"

Anyway, you don’t need money to praise people. Lao Wang’s mouth is definitely a beauty that can praise the dead. Everywhere, the men and women who have offered food will definitely make the men and women who have offered food laugh from ear to ear, and instantly become the whole ice. The most popular person in Lingcheng.

"My husband! Try me, try me!"

"My husband has a good vision!"

"Who said before that our prince is not good? Lao Tzu tore his mouth! What a passionate prince, there is no arrogance at all!"

"His Royal Highness! You must be happy with His Highness Zhiyu!"

……Various businesses blow each other, and the harmony is a mess.
