Chapter 166: The Sowing Festival
The third day after the frost and fog season has passed, it is the default festival of the entire Eastern Continent, and it is also the 'sowing festival' that represents the beginning of the new year.
Even in the nameless town, the task of moving bricks in the past two days has changed from building the town to decorating the town with all kinds of messy but very festive-looking decorations.
Since the decorations are provided by Sivi, who has nothing to do in the kingdom of heaven, you can see a lot of things with earthly characteristics.
For example, a large red papier-mΓ’chΓ© lantern with windproof and fireproof properties, a dragon boat that is about the length of chopsticks and can sail automatically in water, red wool socks that are larger than a human, a jack-o'-lantern that rattles and laughs, a double kick that spirals into the sky with the player when lit, and a translucent ghost that flies around like a sheet.
One of the most popular is the beautiful red art paper-cut, which I don't know what it means.
"Can you tell your grandfather that we're not going to the celebration?"
"No, yesterday I said that everyone would have to show their faces."
"But I'm so tired from work, I just want to get some sleep."
"Please cheer up," Vera smiled helplessly, "You're our lord." β
When she said this, for some reason, Angela, who had a big red letter on her head, reluctantly changed into a cloak for going out: "How is my outfit?" β
"Very ...... Well, spirit. Vera said with a smile.
"Even if you lie to me and say that you're handsome, it's okay."
Angela looked even more deflated.
"You've always been the most handsome in my eyes." The girl's expression did not change without any change.
"It's going to be perfunctory to me......"
Angela mumbled out of the room.
"I've never been perfunctory to you." The girl murmured softly in an undetectable voice, and then she followed Angela's footsteps, walking half a step or so behind him.
"Don't you walk side by side with me? If you walk behind me, it doesn't feel easy to speak. Angela asked curiously.
"Please don't worry, the women at the border are like that."
"Really? Since you've said so......"
Angela always felt that something was wrong, but there was nothing to be concerned about such trivialities, so he walked out of the living room and came to the balcony on the second floor of the Lord's Palace, which faced the largest square in the town, and where banquets were held, almost all of them were held.
At this time, quite a few players had already gathered in the square.
They're either dancing with fish heads and dolphin heads, or they're talking about game strategies (Mane: What!). Is there a boss in Raiden? Why have I never seen it?! They're either waving flags and shouting for their dragon boats in the fountain pool, or some bear kids are holding pumpkin heads that they don't know where to detach, giggling and chasing the ghosts of the sheets flying around.
In short, just by looking at it casually, I feel that the whole square reveals a festive feeling.
"Believers in the God of Games, my people, hello everyone! I am the lord of the town, Angelafate. β
The words on Angra's head glistened in the sun, and with a look of emotion and pride on his face, he said to the players who had stopped talking and dancing: "We have experienced a lot this frost season, and it is an adventure that we will probably never encounter in our lifetime if we follow the pace of life in the past!" But be proud of your performance, gentlemen, for overcoming all odds and successfully living up to the expectations given to us by the gods of the game! Everyone present was a hero, so ......"
Speaking of which, Vera in the back handed Angela a glass of wine.
The players in the square below also took various kinds of liquor or beverages from the self-service stalls (with shops on the stalls) on the side of the square, and held them high in the air like Angela.
"For the god of the game!"
"For the gods of the game!" β
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!" β
The cheers of the players broke out in unison, which made the atmosphere of the scene directly ignite to the maximum.
"I declare that the celebration of the Sowing Festival has officially begun!" Angela slammed the cup on the ground and shouted, "Game, give us a new life!" β
"Oh!" β
Compared with the jubilation of the town, the Sowing Festival in Lancaster was not so peaceful.
"What? Swamp fish-people anomalously proliferate? Lord Rancaster, Earl Cowlinf, frowned as he looked at the parchment handed by his retainers.
"That's right, scholars believe that the frost and fog season has passed, and something unusual has happened in the Xingluo swamp, which is relatively close to Lancaster, causing the number of fishmen in the swamp to skyrocket all of a sudden."
The retainer replied respectfully.
The tragic death of Baron Nigrania in the north of the city, who was parachuted from the imperial capital, although it put the city lord Kaolini in a relatively passive situation, but on the contrary, it was like killing chickens and monkeys, knocking other nobles in the city, so that those nobles who originally had some different thoughts and even took the initiative to approach Baron Nigrania had to stop fighting, for fear that Kaulinf, the city lord who was still in power, would clean up himself.
"I remember that the sewers of Lancaster are also inhabited by swamp fishmen, right?" Kaulinf stroked his beard and pondered.
"That's right, but after the sewer entrances have been reinforced recently, there have been no rumors of swamp fishmen touching the city for a long time." The nobleman didn't know what the lord was thinking, but he just told what he knew.
"What about the attitudes of the big churches?" Kaulinf then asked.
"Uh...... They said they would do their best to cooperate with our actions. The other party replied with some hesitation, knowing that this answer would not satisfy the lord of the castle.
Sure enough, a sneer appeared on Kaulinf's face: "Don't mention substantive help, just say try your best to cooperate?" It's really the style of those bastards. Forget it, let the city guards get ready, although there is no way to go on an expedition to the Star Swamp, but it is still no problem to defend Lancaster. β
After saying that, Kaulinf asked again: "By the way, what about the Manewilf that you asked you to look for before?" Did he promise to come? β
"This ...... We didn't actually see the Wilf himself. The retainer looked a little embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said, "He doesn't seem to be in Lancaster, we've only met a few of his friends...... Those people looked a little ...... Well, crazy, he said something that didn't match the preface, and he said something like 'Manny is dead again'...... I'm afraid it will take a while longer to get in touch with the other party. β
"Well, I see, you go down first."
After the retainers left, Kaulinfu frowned deeply: "The secret agents have not been able to find that guy, and even the results of several astrologers are the same: 'not in this world'...... Being able to shield himself from existence to such an extent seems that the Wilf is more mysterious than I thought. β
