Chapter 123 (1/2)
”Egwin, you know what? In my hometown, if male and female friends are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other and their friendship is unbreakable, they will hold a sacred ceremony to prove their love... Friendship.”
”This kind of ceremony will only appear among heterosexual friends who firmly believe in each other's loyalty and never give up.”
”I want to hold this sacred ceremony with you, will you?”
Donne looked at egwin very sincerely. She thought for a moment and found that she had never heard of this custom. She couldn't help wondering, ”your hometown? Isn't it the ilrus Empire?”
”No, no, my hometown is in a very distant place. Everything there is different from here.”
Egwin nodded, ”I see, but isn't that ceremony very sacred? It's OK in such a place?”
Egwin pointed around. After alburn's soul dissipated, it had completely turned into a dead tomb, the bodies on the throne turned into dust, and the candle light became more and more dim.
Seriously, this is not a good place for ceremonies.
But who made Donne not care? He nodded without hesitation: ”it doesn't matter. The gods of our nation don't care about these. As long as they are sincere, they can be wherever they are.”
Egwin nodded, ”what should I do?”
Donne gently took her hand. ”You just need to listen to me.”
”I want it too, I want it too!”
Nora flew happily to egwin's shoulder and said solemnly, ”Nora is also Donne's good friend. Nora has made great achievements!”
”Whatever you want...”
Donne couldn't laugh or cry, nodded her little head, then turned to egwin and said, ”this ceremony is actually very simple. The most important thing is to be sincere, and this sacred ceremony will be blessed and sheltered by the gods we believe in.”
Egwin looked at Donne nervously. ”Do you need me to change my faith?”
”No, no! The gods of our nation are very tolerant, and he doesn't mind these - and we believe in many gods, such as the God of wealth, Guizu, Li and Gongming, Zhao, the God of life and death, Dongyue emperor, the God of love, Yuelao, and so on. Moreover, these gods are friends with each other, and most believers overlap with each other.”
Donne solemnly popularized the basic knowledge of celestial immortals to the simple elf sword saint.
”The God of life and death, Emperor Dongyue?”
Egwin's head couldn't turn around: ”the God of life is the goddess Anita Lyle. Isn't death greterence? Who is the East Yue emperor? It sounds like an emperor.”
”You don't have to understand these. These are the gods in my hometown.”
Donne coughed softly, ran to get some candles and put them in front of him, motioned to egwin to kneel down to the East like himself, and Nora knelt there on egwin's shoulder.
Then
Donne sang loudly and affectionately: ”(Chinese) dad, mom, my son is unfilial. I accidentally crossed. Although I can't be filial for you, my son tried to find you a beautiful fairy daughter-in-law. Although she is a little silly, she is simple and lovely!”
”Now it's a little difficult for her to understand what love is. Son, I don't know when I can get married, but now I'll cheat her to worship first.”
”After all, my son doesn't deserve her at all now, so I'll make it up when I have a chance.”
Egwin could not help but become very serious when he saw that Donne was very serious about ”singing” spells she had never heard of. He knelt there upright like Donne.
”The cigarettes are ethereal and the lights are brilliant. The bride and groom go to the flower hall together and worship heaven and earth!”
Donne said, gesturing with his eyes to egwin to learn to kowtow forward.
Egwin readily accepted that, anyway, the Emerald Forest happened to be in the East, and the world tree was there. There was no psychological burden to kowtow there.
Nora kowtowed her head in a similar way, but looking at her cheerful appearance, it was purely for fun.
”Second, worship the high hall!”
Because they are in a different world, of course, they can't kowtow to their parents, so they kowtow to the East again. For the time being, they kowtow to the world tree.
”Husband and wife worship each other!”
When Donne finished, he motioned for egwin to turn around. The two faced each other (and Nora on her shoulder) and kowtowed to each other - well, Donne was a pair of two, and worshipped with egwin Nora at the same time.
Then Tang Encai happily explained: ”just now we were worshipping the gods of heaven and earth and let them witness our ceremony. Now it is a commitment to each other, never give up, rely on and support each other forever.”
Egwin blinked. ”Is it over?”
”In fact, there is another step,” Donne smiled awkwardly, ”but we need to wait until we have certain conditions before we can implement it. Let's do it for the time being.”
”By the way, this ceremony is called 'worship heaven and earth'. After worship heaven and earth, you can call me 'husband', and I can call you 'wife'.”
”Husband?”
Egwin had some doubts on his face: ”what a strange name. I'm not used to it. I'd better call you Donne.”
”That's OK.”
Donne has some regrets. He thought he could trick her into calling her husband. How happy it is to hear a fairy beauty call her husband sweetly
After worshipping heaven and earth, egwin was curious again.
”Speaking of it, what power does this element have?”
