Chapter 583 The Show Begins

Finally, Jiang Shuzhou finished that long and tedious process and reached the final stage.

Getting married is a hassle, with all sorts of troublesome things to deal with. And that's after things have been simplified. If they hadn't been simplified, there would have been even more problems.

"Alright, everyone enjoy your meal. I'm going to go chat with my beloved elf friends."

"I'm done with my work," Jiang Shuzhou said.

The monks present all nodded in agreement, offering no objections.

As the protagonist of this wedding and the groom, Jiang Shuzhou does have an obligation to meet the other guests; they can't just keep him tied up here.

Smiling and gesturing to the monks below the stage, Jiang Shuzhou quickly walked with Denuozhi and the others into a secluded room.

"Are you ready?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked, his clothes having subtly transformed from ceremonial attire into the robes of destiny, mimicking his current form.

This means that he is ready.

Grace nodded to indicate that she was ready.

The gun called Redemption appeared in Denozhi's hand. She was expressionless, and then she spoke.

"I'm ready. Now, watch me."

Ever since she put Tessame into Redemption, the Denozan has become cheerful, spending his free time torturing Tessame's soul for fun. Of course, she deserves it, since that old bastard Tessame does so many lousy things.

"Alright, let's begin."

Jiang Shuzhou straightened his clothes, then pushed open the door, preparing to head to the elf's exclusive banquet hall.

Now, the real show begins.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Seriously, what's going on? Why isn't that guy here yet?"

Undoubtedly, the Cyrek people were somewhat numb at this point.

He thought that he could simply wait here for a while and get close to Jiang Shuzhou, and then directly complete the assassination mission.

But what is the reality?

It can only be said that there are some subtle differences between reality and actuality.

That is, the legend he replaced was just a roadside legend, no one cared about it, and no one could see Jiang Shuzhou alone.

In this way, he had absolutely no chance to assassinate Jiang Shuzhou.

It's okay if you don't have it; opportunities are something you have to create yourself.

Although the identity he was impersonating had some flaws that almost caused things to go wrong, Cyric managed to make up for it all with his keen intuition.

He bribed his way into the banquet hall where he could get close to Jiang Shuzhou.

In this way, everything else falls into place naturally and simply.

As he pondered, Cyric couldn't help but reveal a dark and twisted smile, a smile that seemed inhuman, appearing exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

However, after waiting for a long time, Jiang Shuzhou still didn't show up, which made him a little irritated.

After all, as the god of murder and conspiracy, it was quite disheartening for a deity like Xirek to have to wait for a mortal like Jiang Shuzhou.

"Brother, can I ask why Master Jiang Shuzhou hasn't shown up yet?"

Growing impatient, Shirek asked the person beside him.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something that can only be discussed after seeing the master?"

The man looked surprised.

As legends, everyone's lifespan is extremely long. Surely this person can wait even a short while?

"Ahem, I have some precious treasures that I need to show to the master, so I'm in a bit of a hurry."

Shirek coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

At the same time, he secretly memorized the appearance of the person in front of him, intending to make him die here quietly later.

"Master Jiang Shuzhou should be in the front hall right now, with his relatives, having his wedding ceremony. Let's wait a bit."

Although he felt something was off, he shook his head and gave up on investigating, since it was none of his business.

"How tedious."

He cursed under his breath. There was nothing he could do; since the main character wasn't there, Cyric could only wait.

"How's the plan going?"

In a corner of the banquet hall, Finrod was discussing the elven World Tree with other elven mages.

"Everything is normal. The Mother Goddess is perfectly fine. Soon, the Elven race will be glorious here."

"It's good, but for some reason, I always feel like something's not quite right."

Finrod said that ever since he came here, he has felt that something was wrong from time to time, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

He even risked making a prediction, only to find nothing.

Clearly, this is a sign that the prediction has failed.

However, it seems that nothing serious has happened.

maybe.

Thinking this through, Finrod ate his food while pondering what attitude he should have when he saw Jiang Shuzhou again, and how to achieve his goal.

He came here with the mission of winning over and lulling Jiang Shuzhou into a false sense of security.

In any case, at this crucial moment, he had to ensure that Jiang Shuzhou's attitude was not hostile.

However, the reality may greatly disappoint Finrod.

He didn't even know that the reason Jiang Shuzhou was holding this wedding was entirely because he wanted to take action against the elves.

If he knew, he'd probably be kicking himself, wishing he'd never come.

Unfortunately, even if he knew this now, it would be too late.

The magic circle was quietly activated, and the surrounding space became extremely stable and difficult to destroy without anyone noticing.

This means that spatial spells are no longer effective.

However, no one knows this yet.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."

Jiang Shuzhou smiled and led the group into the banquet hall.

Behind him were not only Denoz and Grace, but also several Ash Angels.

After Jiang Shuzhou entered the banquet hall, the Extinction Angel behind him consciously closed the door, shutting out everything from the outside world.

"You are so busy with matters there, we are already very grateful that you were able to take some time today to meet with us."

Immediately, a legend remarked.

Although this seemed a bit sarcastic, Jiang Shuzhou didn't take it too seriously, after all, one shouldn't argue with a dead person.

Jiang Shuzhou simply smiled slightly, then said nothing and walked straight towards Finrod.

"I've always been very curious about the elves, and meeting a few of them today feels especially heartwarming."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"By the way, why aren't all the legendary figures from your elven race here?"

As if casually, Jiang Shuzhou asked.

"They all have all sorts of things to do, but I have more free time, so I came here to represent them."

Finrod's answer was flawless.

"That's a pity, not everyone here is here."

Jiang Shuzhou shook his head, seemingly somewhat regretful.
