Leonard, who had not achieved his goal and was bored, asked Strong, who was standing in the room, "Elder, is there anything else you want to explain to us?"

When Strong heard this, he cleared his throat: "Ahem... Tomorrow is the Luna Festival of the elves, and everyone has to change into gorgeous costumes and go to the temple fair on the port side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Please guests also have an early rest today, and everything is not in a hurry. Regarding the matter of the Holy Prayer Crystal, the old man has his own arrangements after the festival. So Leonard and the others stayed overnight in the village inn that day.

The festival of the Luna Festival is an annual grand celebration held by the elves to celebrate Tido's following of the Five Heroic Spirits and becoming the guardian deity of the moon.

The next day, under the arrangement of Strong, Kay, Sister Yan, and Shira, Leonard, Tina, Bran, Hanks, and Howl did the same, and changed into the traditional elven long-sleeved robes. Crotty was still wearing the same cheongsam in plain white cloud that he wore in the Bagram court.

Seeing that Crotty was dressed differently from everyone else, Tina asked, "Crotty." Why don't you wear the same clothes as we do?"

Crotty explained: "There is no rule that people must wear the traditional costumes of the elves on the Luna Festival, they just need to dress nicely. Because it's your first time celebrating this festival, it will be more atmospheric to change into elven costumes. As for me, I'm used to it for a long time, so there's no need to force me to dress like you. "She is obviously dressing according to her own taste, and dressing differently from others is also a reflection of style.

So, Leonard and his party followed Strong, Kay, Sister Yan, and Sheila to the port of Alebes, where they joined Li Ming and Rossi. I saw that the anthropologist was still wearing his white coat, and the amphibian prince was still wearing his sea beast skin armor. The old captain and crew did not show up.

The port area is really prosperous, and it has become a small town. People are dressed in festive costumes. The shops on the street are also lit up and a temple fair is being held. The sun warmly illuminates the earth, and the fresh sea breeze blows. Sampans of different sizes are moored side by side on the pier.

Most of the buildings on Arebis are very simple and monotonous, elven houses and shops that have lived for generations. Most of the buildings in the port town are traditional elven wooden houses, but with much more extravagant decorations, square vaulted roofs covered in glazed tiles, sleek lacquered columns, and even pavilions inside.

In addition, there are many buildings from other countries with their own characteristics. For example, the Nakonaru Auditorium, which is decorated with finely carved colored spell stones, and the Jiluo Stone Fort, which is made of solid and thick granite masonry.

The most striking feature of the port is the newly-built, exquisite, spectacular, baroque Chamber of Commerce Bank of the Five Elements in the heart of the town. In the square in front of the entrance to the bank, a five-petal flower-shaped spell fountain was also built. Many different styles of buildings are located here, which does not seem so coordinated, but it feels extraordinarily vibrant.

As soon as Tina met Li Ming and Rossi at the entrance of the port town, she asked, "Where are Rosie and Captain Li Ming?"

Rossi replied, "Last night, the crew held a big banquet to celebrate the festival in advance. Early this morning, on the orders of the captain, they left by boat. ”

Tina sought confirmation: "They've left by boat?"

Rossi continued to reply, "Yes. The captains have departed the island as soon as possible on your orders, sailing to the port of Golitani and then returning to Lars by land. "Because the Royal Oak had capsized and was damaged beyond repair, there was no point in the crew staying with Leonard and them, but rather because of the sheer number of people, the number of people and the fact that it was easy to predict the situation. Therefore, when Tina left, she told the old captain to lead the crew back to Lars as much as possible.

The port of Golitani is the closest port to Yarebis in the Republic of Vosfitta, north of the ancient capital of Mahaya.

Tina suddenly remembered the status of herself, Leonard, and Bran as wanted criminals, and turned to Strong, "Elder." A few of us... There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Strong replied: "The inhabitants of Arebis do not care about the war that is taking place on the continent. Including the corrupt human aristocrat Alonso, the notoriety of the White Group is well known in the Republic of Vosfitta, and it cannot be changed by a few words in the newspaper. Most of the elves who live in seclusion here are indifferent to fame and fortune, have no quarrel with the world, and no one cares about the life or death of a corrupt human noble. ”

Kay, who clearly knows more about the local situation than Strong, added: "The environment in Yarebis is relatively closed. The notice that wanted you was posted at the port, and it was removed within a few days. No matter how similar the portrait is, there is a gap between it and the appearance of a real person. As long as you stay with the elders, no one will doubt your identity. ”

Sure enough, Leonard, Tina, and Bran followed Strong around Port Street for a whole circle, but no one came forward to suspect the identities of the three of them. Only a few guards glanced at the Great Swordsman's face a few more times. Because he had a scar on his face.

"Elder, thank you for your care..." Hot buns...""Kai, what are you busy with all this time..."... Passers-by and shopkeepers not only did not suspect the identity of Leonard and the three of them, but also greeted the group very warmly, cast respectful glances and happy smiles. I saw that Sister Yan and Xuera were already holding a string of sugar gourds in their hands.

Sugar gourd is a candy skewer made by wrapping melted rock sugar on the surface of fruit and other fillings, forming sugar balls interspersed with bamboo skewers. Rock candy is available in a variety of colors. There are also different types of fillings such as fruits. Yan chose a green sugar gourd skewer, which is wrapped in sweet apples and bean paste filling, which tastes sweet, crispy and powdery. Sheila chose yellow sugar gourd skewers, wrapped in fluffy bananas and sweet and sour hawthorn, which tasted crispy, soft and sweet and sour.

"Kai, pay the bill...""Why are you so polite...""This is my invitation to all of you, elders..."... On the way to shopping, no matter what Sister Yan and Xuela took, the store did not ask for money. But at Strong's behest, Kay would still pay for them. The prestige of the elder on this island is extremely high, so as long as Sister Yan and Xuela take something, a bunch of people will immediately surround it. (Celebrity Effect)

As a result, each of them had two steaming white buns wrapped in turquoise lotus leaves in their hands. Steamed buns are a delicacy made of fermented flour with a fluffy thick layer of skin that wraps around the filling, and can be steamed, fried, and fried. The buns in their hands are steamed in a steamer made of green bamboo with a layer of mat grass inside, and the bread is filled with two fillings: seafood, shrimp and tender pork.

When you bite into it, you will be filled with delicious soup, and the delicate filling and fluffy dough will combine to create a wonderful taste. Leonard couldn't help but praise: "Wow! this is so delicious..."...

So, the group looked for novelties and curiosities along the way, and soon it was noon. Kai walked to the door of a restaurant and introduced: "I have eaten so much dried food, this is a wonton restaurant I know, let's go in and try it." ”... Leonard and the others soon walked through the door and sat around the table in the store. Then, the waiter brought bowls of fragrant wontons, also known as dumplings, to the table.

Wontons are filled with very thin pieces of dough, boiled in boiling water, scooped up and served in a soup bowl, sprinkled with condiments, and scooped into your mouth with a spoon. Leonard's wonton is filled with minced chives and ginger, and the bowl is filled with black-bone chicken soup made in a clay pot.

After lunch, the group continued shopping. Sister Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Xuela's wrist and ran forward, and said loudly: "It's turn sugar!"

Sheila also ran forward with her eyes shining: "It's turning sugar!" Seeing this, Leonard couldn't help but be tempted by curiosity and quickly followed. I saw an old elf man with a white beard squinting his eyes and sitting leisurely on a wooden square bench on the side of the street, holding a brass dry tobacco stick with a smoking pot in his left hand, and smoking dry tobacco leisurely with his mouth, and holding a large iron spoon in his right hand, which was placed in an iron pot on the stove.

The stove next to the elven old man was cylindrical, more than half a meter high, and briquettes and firewood were burned inside. The iron pot on the stove was filled with nearly half a pot of boiled reddish-brown maltose, and bubbles were constantly bubbling up. There was also a rectangular wooden table in front of the old man. On one side of the wooden table was a square white marble slab with a clean and smooth surface, next to a small shovel, and on the other side was a wooden square turntable.

There is a small protruding wooden stake in the center of the turntable. A piece of bamboo is stuck in the stake that can rotate flexibly like the shaft of a windmill. A copper wire is also hung from the top of one end of the bamboo. The length of the copper wire means that it is very close to the surface of the turntable, just a few millimeters higher. A few millimeters of copper wire is painted on the surface of the turntable, and many grids of different widths are painted with paint, and a considerable number of the images painted in the grids are similar, while the rest of the grids are painted with different things.

As soon as Sister Yan rushed to the sugar stall, she stacked a few copper plates on the table: "Boss, turn sugar." After speaking, she pinched the piece of bamboo on the turntable with her hand very skillfully. The bamboo on the turntable spun for a moment, then slowly stopped, so that the copper wire hanging from it finally pointed to the image drawn in a grid. The image is of eight small solid balls.

The old man of the elf clan opened his eyes wide and immediately responded: "Batuo." When Sister Yan saw it, her mouth pursed, and her disappointed expression instantly hung on her face. Immediately after, the old man who turned the sugar took the iron spoon with his right hand, melted the reddish-brown malt in the spoon and slowly poured a little on the smooth white marble slab on the table, and then pressed it with a small shovel;

Then the old man of the elven clan did the same, and made eight flat round sweets in a row on the marble slab, then took out a wooden skewer from the drawer of the wooden table and pressed it on the eight sweeteners, and then dropped a few drops of maltose water from the iron spoon on the wooden skewers, and let it solidify and make the sugar turn stick to the wooden skewers. After doing this, the old man handed the skewer to Sister Yan.

Sister Yan stretched out her hand to take the skewer of sugar, licked it with her tongue, looked at a big bird drawn in a certain grid of the sugar tray, and said, "It's really bad luck, Sister Yan originally wanted to do the carving." ”

Xuela, who was already standing next to the stall, impatiently took out a few copper coins and stacked them on the wooden table, stared at a winged lizard drawn in a certain grid of the turntable, pushed the bamboo on the turntable with her palm, and said, "Turn sugar, turn sugar." Then Sheila will be a dragon. As a result, after the bamboo was rotated, the copper wire on it actually fell on a lattice with only four small solid balls drawn.

The old man of the elven clan with a leisurely demeanor opened his eyes again and replied, "Situo." So he made another bunch of sugar and handed it to Shela. The only difference between this skewer and the previous one is that it uses four fewer pieces of sugar.

When Shera saw this, her expression was obviously more and more disappointed: "It's too bad luck." What people want is a flying dragon. ”

Leonard also came to the stall at this time, and put a few copper plates on the table: "It turned out to be such a little trick. Boss, let me give it a try, I won't lose your business. When the old man of the elven clan heard this, he couldn't help but look up, and saw that the great swordsman was followed by a group of people, and Elder Strong was also among them.

Immediately after, Leonard pinched the bamboo on the turntable with his right hand and spun it vigorously, shouting: "This is the Wyvern!" I saw that the bamboo on the turntable spun rapidly for a while, attracting a large group of spectators around. Then, as expected, the copper wire on the bamboo hovered right above the lattice with the winged lizard.

Leonard's face was full of smugness: "Look. Am I right?"

Sheraton felt his own unique eye, and Leonard looked like the kind of person who could play: "Little Lei, you really have it." ”

Seeing this scene, the old man of the elf clan immediately put down the dry smoke in his hand, stood up energetically and agreed: "Okay." Make a Wyvern right away. Then he took out a large piece of reddish-brown maltose from the drawer of the wooden table, boiled it in a pot, and scooped up a large spoonful of sugar water with an iron spoon, and began to paint skillfully on the white marble slabs with this sugar water.

I saw that the old man's painting style is very freehand, with a unique artistic charm. Suddenly, there were more spectators gathered at the stall, including Elder Strong and others.

Seeing this, the old man of the elf clan was even more interested, not only made a sugar water painting for the torso, but also added a dragon head, dragon body, dragon wings, dragon tail, and dragon claws to this flying dragon, making it nearly half a meter long. All of these body parts of the dragon are made of melted maltose in a very freehand style, and it took nearly an hour to use up two large pieces of maltose in a row.

Finally, the old man used melted maltose water to glue the whole dragon to three long wooden sticks, and wiped the sweat stains oozing from his forehead with a towel. Seeing this scene, the faces of Sister Yan and Xuela, who were improvised by folk artists, were already happy. The rest of the audience was also amazed and elated.

Then, Sister Yan and Xuela held a wooden skewer and raised the "Flying Dragon" above their heads excitedly: "Earned!" "So happy!" The old man's business is already booming at the moment.

However, Kai still stepped forward, paid a few more copper plates, and stacked them on the sugar stall: "Small business." It's not easy for everyone..."As for the "flying dragon" that Sister Yan and Xuela obtained, it took nearly an afternoon to be eaten by the two of them.

Seeing that twilight was gradually falling, Tina couldn't help but ask Strong, "Elder." I've heard you've worked with the Elven King Cleos before. Can you tell us a little bit about what kind of person Cleos is? Can he cancel the arrest of a few of us? You know, Lars has no ill will towards Vosfitta and is no threat. ”
