Act 35: The Full Tide Festival

Full tide festival.

It is a traditional celebration in the region of the Northern Olympian Union at the beginning of the new year, when the first tide arrives.

This represents both the arrival of the new year and the end of the winter fishing moratorium, although the fishing industry is no longer the main part of the income in the North Olympic Union, but this traditional festival, which has been continued since ancient times, has been preserved and has become a New Year's festival in the North Olympic Union.

Originally, the Firut people of the North Olympic Union believed in the god of the sea, and the fattest of the fish caught in the sea at the full tide festival would also be offered to the god of the sea to pray for good weather in the coming year.

But later, the mainland civilization gradually influenced the North Olympic Alliance, and the belief in the god of the sea here gradually declined, and was replaced by the temple of the goddess of faith, such as the mobile temple of Lotrente, and began to walk on the endless ocean.

However, it is always inferior to the human-dominated country, and the North Olympic Alliance still has a considerable part of the belief in the god of the sea in most places, and it is inconvenient for the night watchman to intervene against these people, so unless it is quite blatantly slanderous of the Templars, the heresy here will not pursue it.

And now, Atlantia's full tide festival has naturally become the focus of attention.

From early in the morning, the lively atmosphere surrounds the city and intensifies.

Viewed from above, the island complex centered on the maelstrom is being filled with banners and sheds of various colors.

Local shops have been prepared early on, taking out the goods at the bottom of their boxes and arranging them neatly, hoping that those tourists who come here will splurge on them.

Merchants from all over the world have set up tents in various squares to sell anything imaginable.

In the northern part of the city, in the city square, a huge stage has already been set up, and the crowd of people is waiting for the Archon of Atlantia, Lord Magni, to announce the official start of the full tide festival and pray for the first expedition to enter the endless sea this year.

Yes, at the Full Tide Festival, the most important thing is not only to go out to sea to catch the first net fish, but also to organize the first expedition into the endless abyss.

In ancient times, the people of the North Austrian Alliance relied on the gifts of the sea and the abundant products of the endless sea to establish an empire on this sea, which has continued to this day and has become a commercial alliance that dominates one side.

The Endless Abyss is also known as "Helsingen Musken" in the language of the Firut people, which means "eye of the sea".

In ancient times, it was considered the entrance to the palace of the god of the sea, and for a long time, the offering to the god of the sea was to take a boat from the maelstrom into the abyss.

Later, when one entered the Endless Abyss, the mystery of the place became much less, but many of the old Firuts still believed that the bottom of the Endless Abyss was the temple of the god of the sea, and that if they could reach it, they would be blessed by the gods and gain eternal life.

In fact, because of the rising load, no one has yet managed to return alive from the bottom of the Endless Abyss, which adds a bit of food for thought.

At the same time, for the load caused by the rise in the endless abyss, there are also Firuts who believe that it is a curse of the god of the sea, and it is a punishment for those who try to return to mortal earth from the Holy Land.

Of course, these are just legends now, and the Endless Abyss, as a wasteland with endless secret treasures, has become one of the treasures of the Northern Olympic Alliance.

"There are so many people. ”

Edlandall avoided the robed group of people next to him and whispered.

"This is the biggest event of the North Olympic Union, and in just a few days, more than 100,000 people will gather in the city, and the amount of transactions generated during this period is enough to compare the financial revenue of some small countries for more than half a year. ”

Liliana was at the front, their group dressed in gray robes and their faces hidden in their hoods, weaving through the crowd.

Their goal is the location of the first expedition, where the expedition of several nations and different powers will sail to the center of the Maelstrom and then through the endless abyss to the First Sea of Tranquility.

In the relationship of the Rainbow Tower, they have won a few places, and they can blend in openly without worrying about being discovered.

"The first fishing boat to go out to sea will return at noon and bring back the fattest of the first fish, which will be sacrificed to the god of the sea with the expedition into the endless abyss. ”

Fina explained that it was now close to noon, and that Atlantia's climate was not as varied as much as on the continent because it was in the middle of an endless ocean, so even north of Aster, there was no snow in the winter, and the climate was still warm and humid.

"Fish, the golden fish here is quite delicious, but it's a pity that since the accident more than ten years ago, only the best nobles can enjoy it, it's a pity. ”

Liliana tasted back, but the point seemed a little strange.

"Speaking of which, Rosen hasn't said a word since just now, isn't it suitable for this kind of occasion?"

She turned her head to look at Lawson at the end of the line.

"No, I'm doing some preparations. ”

Lawson didn't raise his head, as if he was thinking.

"Ready?"

Irandall was a little puzzled, what preparations could be made while walking?

At this moment, there was a fluctuation in the ruby necklace on Irandall's chest, which made her unable to help but bring up the interface of the mobile terminal.

This is projected directly on the forum interface on the retina, and the news in the headline position has gone from a circulation of more than 5,000 copies on mobile devices to another.

"The first live broadcast on the whole network, exploring the endless abyss!"

"What is this?"

Irandall wondered.

She did know about the live broadcast, and Elandall had read the information about the advent of the Chaos People in the Christian Royal Academy before, and knew that in the magic competition, a magic apprentice had shown this live broadcast with the help of Rosen, although what made Randall more curious was the relationship between the female magic apprentice and Rosen, but this thing called the live broadcast did interest Arandall quite a lot.

Before, there has been a discussion about live broadcast in the forum, but officially, that is, Lawson does not have an open interface here, and the complex composition of the magic array and programming runes make these mages who have only just come into contact with mobile terminals scratch their heads.

And now, it looks like Lawson is going to be the first streamer on this forum and broadcast the next adventure of the Endless Abyss?

Irandall turned his head and glanced at Rosen.
