84: The path of the people is set

Bigg's wedding celebration was truly simple.

There were no lavish banquets, as Green had imagined, inviting all relatives and friends to dine together.

No wedding ceremony;

No exchanging of rings;

No vows to each other... Absolutely nothing!

Just a few friends gathered simply—

They toured the new home;

Then offered their blessings to the newlyweds;

Finally, they held a tea party together, everyone sitting around chatting... That was it... Moreover.

After hearing Bigg and Frigga's entire journey from boyfriend and girlfriend to marriage, Green was stunned. The unique love in the Wizard World once again refreshed his worldview.

Bigg and Frigga got together because of a shared struggle.

It was a mission issued by the academy.

A certain Botanical Garden was experiencing a severe insect infestation, and Bigg and Frigga jointly accepted the task of pest control.

That mission wasn't difficult, but the insect infestation kept recurring, wearing down people's patience... Bigg and Frigga fought for three whole months before finding the culprit—a mutated demonic mother insect.

During this period... the two formed a deep friendship and fell for each other.

After the mission, the two got together.

After six months of dating, Bigg proactively proposed marriage to Frigga and convinced her with his philosophy of life—

Since fate brought us together, then our future is to get married;

Since we are destined to marry, then it's better to marry sooner rather than later; make a decision early and enjoy early... And so... the two walked into the halls of matrimony together.

There were no exorbitant betrothal gifts;

No grand and extravagant wedding was held;

Nor was there any grand, public proposal ceremony... Two young people, heart to heart, simply submitted a report, moved into the academy's couple's room together, and spent a few days decorating their little nest.

The two invited their respective relatives and friends to their new home for a simple meal and a tea party.

And just like that, the wedding was complete.

Green, Oakes, and Ally were considered Bigg's family on the groom's side... Bigg warmly entertained his friends.

"Don't be shy, everyone..."

"It's rare for us all to gather like this, taking advantage of my wedding."

"I'm only getting married once in my life."

"There won't be another chance..."

"You want to get married twice? Do you think Frigga would agree?"

Oakes also joked along.

"Bigg, things are different once you're married."

"From now on, you'll definitely be busy providing for your family and spending time with Frigga."

"Our iron triangle might be missing a corner."

"How could that be?"

"No matter how busy I am, I can't forget my brothers; Frigga understands that too."

Bigg quickly said:

"I'll definitely attend our monthly gatherings. We've been brothers for decades; I can't marry a wife and forget my brothers."

..."Oakes, Green..."

At this moment, Frigga interjected appropriately.

"Don't worry, I support your brotherhood."

"It's not easy for your three friendships to last for over twenty years."

"I'm also very grateful that you could come to celebrate my and Bigg's wedding. Next time, when you get married, don't forget to invite our Bigg."

"Uh..."

Oakes and Green exchanged glances—"Please."

"Cough, cough..."

In the end, Oakes was the first to speak.

"Me? Cough..."

"I'm still early; getting married so young isn't good for career development."

Oakes thought of a good excuse:

"Right, I'm still young, in the golden period of my career's ascent. I can't get married now."

"Besides, I've only been dating my current girlfriend for less than a year; our feelings aren't deep yet, so I'll have to wait a few more years."

"I'll wait a few years and see; I'm not in a hurry."

After speaking, he looked directly at Green, as if to say: It's your turn... Green was still frowning, deliberating.

His mind was in turmoil, unsure of what to say.

At this moment... Ally, who had been silently drinking tea nearby, spoke up.

"I don't plan to get married!"

As soon as the words left her lips, everyone was astonished... Green's frown deepened;

Oakes's smile also disappeared;

Bigg's expression remained calm, but his eyes darted back and forth;

Frigga gasped, her mouth wide open, but she wasn't familiar with Ally, so she didn't know what to say... Ally said calmly:

"In this life, I intend to live alone."

"So, you don't need to wait for my wedding invitation."

"My remaining life will be dedicated to Pharmacology, to the wizard's path."

"Teacher Serena told me that the wizard's path of a seeker is a lonely path, a path of no return."

"I'm already on this path of no return; my future is destined to be martyred for the wizard's path, so I don't plan to get married, nor do I plan to find any partner. Having you few friends is enough."

"Perhaps as time goes by, you too will slowly disappear from my path, and then I might live alone."

Ally's expression turned a little sad at this point, and she continued:

"Perhaps..."

"At that time, I will also be like Teacher Serena, finding a talented apprentice to take as my student."

"To pass on my beliefs, my dreams, my unfinished path..."

...Green's face was very grim now.

However, this was already the result of his utmost self-restraint.

He knew everyone was looking at him.

Feeling the gazes of his friends—some worried, some sympathetic, some encouraging, and some pitying... To avoid losing composure in front of his friends, Green had no choice but to use his Golden Finger quota for the day.

With the absolute calm effect of the Golden Finger, Green's turbulent emotions gradually settled down... "Everyone is waiting for me, right?"

Green raised his head, his calm face speaking coolly.

"Everyone has their own path to walk."

"Ally, I wish you a smooth journey on your path, and I wish you will definitely achieve your desires and fulfill your dreams."

"As for me..."

"Everyone knows I've now joined the Bio-Armor Project, working as an armor experimenter there."

"The path I have to walk is also very long, and there are many dangers, so I won't consider personal relationship issues for now."

"So..."

"Bigg, I'm sorry, you don't need to wait for my wedding invitation."

"Perhaps you might receive my funeral invitation first, who knows..."

"I'm very sorry, everyone..."

"I suddenly remembered that I have an urgent matter to attend to; I'll take my leave first..."

With that, Green left without waiting for anyone to respond... No one knew where Green went or what he did afterward.

The next day, only Oakes silently performed a comprehensive maintenance on Green's armor no. 8.

Even though the last comprehensive maintenance was only 7 days prior.

And Green, he spent his remaining 7 days of vacation in the life support pod of the emergency medical room...
