Chapter 527: Chapter 67
The next day, Wood and North Wind’s wedding and ceremony were held as scheduled.
Although Wood did not invite many guests due to the limited time, the quality of the guests was shockingly quite high
Wood’s good friend, director of mining in the Northwest Republic, Reif Kawat, and two chairmen of the a.s.sociation of Woodworking had come to his wedding. The great artists represented by Shoggoth had also come. What’s more, the following people also came: the director of construction and development of the Northwest Republic, the Great Governor, Felix Isuka, the governor and director of Towns.h.i.+p Development, Asner, the Military Director of Pyroxene Town, Red Flame Dragon Jose, and the deputy director of Fis.h.i.+ng and Hunting Resources Investigation Office, c.l.i.to. What surprised Wood the most was that even Madame Teague, the director of civil affairs in Void City, and Mr. Palin, who was the second president of the a.s.sociation of Mages of the Northwest Republic and the library director, both came to his wedding!
Wood did not have much friends.h.i.+p with Madame Teague and Mr. Palin, but he was more surprised by the following guests. As the ceremony was about to begin, three more important guests also came.
The G.o.d of Art and Culture, the G.o.d of Pleasure and the founder of the Republic—the Void Mask, who had founded the great republic in the deserted land, all came to Wood’s wedding!
The three G.o.ds met with Wood and the other guests in their usual image. The G.o.d of Art and Culture was an elegant bard with a harp in his arms while the G.o.d of Pleasure was a beautiful young man who squinted his eyes and laughed happily. Of course, the Void Mask was a green jellyfish floating in the air.
Speaking of Sui Xiong’s image, there was actually a little joke. It was well-known that all denominations would give preferential treatment to certain people or creatures because of their family backgrounds or hobbies. For example, because the powerful G.o.d of Destruction liked riding on white cattle, his followers regarded such cattle as sacred things and wors.h.i.+ped them. They dared not to destroy that cattle. However, yellow cattle, which were not so white in color, were inferior in status. As for buffalo, they would often be killed and eaten by the followers of the G.o.d of Destruction.
Sui Xiong’s noumenon was a green jellyfish, so the high levels of the church of the Void Mask once held a meeting to discuss how to give preferential treatment to jellyfish, especially green jellyfish.
Sui Xiong also attended the meeting at that time and was very embarra.s.sed to hear their discussion. Although he did use the image of a green jellyfish to appear in front of people, he was actually a human being! So he immediately rejected the proposal and told his high levels not to give jellyfish special preferences because of him. That was not faith; it was confusion.
Of course, Sui Xiong’s followers obeyed his words. Therefore, jellyfish who might have been treated well regrettably lost this opportunity. But even so, the green jellyfish were still regarded mascots by many people who wors.h.i.+ped Sui Xiong. Some people even grabbed ordinary jellyfishes and dyed them green in a special way in order to sell them for a good price.
This kind of cheater had been caught more than once, and although every cheater had been severely punished, this kind of business could not be prohibited due to its high profits and low costs.
After all, it was very easy to dye jellyfish. People could grab a group of jellyfish at a time and add green dye to the water that fed them. If they did not die after a period of time, they would turn green and stay that way for a long time.
Sui Xiong did nothing about it, that or he was too lazy to deal with such trivial things. Actually, he was really busy and had no time to deal with such trifles.
For example, now he was tracing his body in addition to observing Wood and North Wind.
At present, his main incarnation stayed in the sea that he had traveled through s.p.a.ce and time at the beginning. He was slowly tracing whether or not a person fell from the sky in the past couple of years.
He was sure that at least on the day he woke up, there was no traverser falling from the sky, in the sea, or even in the vicinity of about a hundred miles from the sea.
However, even Sui Xiong himself was unsure whether he really woke up as soon as he traveled through time and s.p.a.ce.
Maybe it took many years for him to really wake up.
Considering that the soul would not change according to changing circ.u.mstances, he decided to lock the sea area in a foolish way and push back time bit by bit, slowly tracking his body.
Whether it would take him one day or two days, a thousand years or two thousand years, he had plenty of time, and he was determined to get to the bottom of this!
But in this way, he had less time and energy to spare to do other things. He could not do his proper business for the time being and could only concentrate on some entertainment projects. For example, he was interested to see what kind of ending Wood would get eventually.
The G.o.d of Art and Culture and the G.o.d of Pleasure were naturally invited by Sui Xiong. The G.o.d of Art and Culture was interested in the great artist, Wood, while the G.o.d of Pleasure was interested in the ceremony. So when Sui Xiong invited them, they nodded and agreed to come.
Of course, the three G.o.ds all sent their Message-Sending Clones with little fighting power to Wood’s wedding. Anyway, they did not come for fighting, and Message-Sending Clones were enough for them.
Even if they just sent their Message-Sending Clones, their dignity had made all the guests awed and shocked by Wood’s ability.
What was the origin of this guy? How could he hold such a big wedding ceremony and attract three powerful G.o.ds together to congratulate him?
However, Wood himself did not know why the three powerful G.o.ds would come. Now he was smiling happily, but in his heart, he was crying and complaining.
I have to keep a low profile! But how can I keep a low profile?
It was really difficult to keep a low profile! This wedding scene was too splendid!
Unlike Wood, North Wind was frightened and angry.
She was frightened by Wood’s high position in the Northwest Republic. Even the Void Mask would come to his wedding ceremony to congratulate him.
If Wood hadn’t betrayed them, would such a powerful G.o.d as the Void Mask come to congratulate a spy?
Or could it be that Wood had fooled the Void Mask?
With this in her mind, she affirmed the fact that Wood had betrayed them, and at the same time she began to feel worried.
Would the three G.o.ds recognize her ident.i.ty?
She was not frightened nor did she feel angry when she thought of this. Instead, she was full of worry.
As a high-leveled spy, North Wind was not afraid of death. But if she fell into the hands of other G.o.ds, it was really not “death” that could solve the problem.
A G.o.d’s power was so great that people could not die as they wished. A G.o.d could keep their souls in captivity and torture them slowly. A G.o.d could even reverse the thinking of mortals directly, turning warriors into cowards or righteous men into villains. This was possible for G.o.ds to do!
When she thought of this, she was shocked again. Could it be that Wood had been forced to change his mind by the Void Mask and thus betrayed?
This evening, she did not enjoy herself at all. Although she always had a happy smile on her face, her heart was always disturbed, as if hundreds of people were quarreling. She suddenly felt worried, relaxed, happy or upset. Her heart was a mess.
However, it was precisely for this reason that the G.o.d of Art and Culture and the G.o.d of Pleasure did not see through her mind.
As for Sui Xiong… North Wind’s careful thinking was transparent in his eyes, but he did not expose it. Instead, he laughed and pretended to know nothing.
This will be quite a good play! Just wait and see!
