Volume 5 Harvest Season and the Sanhedrin Festival Chapter 1 An Invitation from Hexis

As the harvest season and guild festival approach, the cities of the Adventurer Kingdom come alive. The streets and alleys are full of lights, the shops are crowded, and all kinds of goods are dazzling, and almost all the construction work of the site is basically completed. The service station is a popular place in normal times, and it is even more bustling with people at this time, so that Yujiali and her family are very busy from morning to night.

It was already early in the morning, and it was not yet noon, and it was the time when there were the least number of visitors. Eugari came down from the stairs in a daze. After breakfast, I slouched listlessly on the dining table by the window, staring outside.

"What are you doing here?" At this moment, Miria happened to come down from the upper floor, walked up to Eugari, looked out the window, and asked, "What's wrong?" What's there to see? ”

"Nothing." Youjiali complained weakly, "In the past two days, I have either helped the store prepare ingredients for the harvest season, or followed Sister Luqi to Haiquan Square to build a booth for the Guild Festival, I am almost tired." ”

"Is there one? I think it's okay. Miria said with a relaxed face.

"That's because you didn't help at all...... Yugari complained to herself.

While Yugari and Miria were chatting, Luki came up from the backyard with a large basket of colorful plants.

"Are you going to set up the exhibits? Sister Luqi. Yugari asked curiously.

"How so?" Lu Qi replied as she sat down across from Yujiali and the others, "I'm going to see if the venue environment over there is suitable for my carefully selected babies." With that, Luqi placed the huge basket on the table.

"By the way, I don't know how you're going to set up your booth yet. Anything interesting? Miria asked curiously.

"Absolutely! This time, I asked Kailin for a pretty big piece of space to show off my latest work. Lu Qi said triumphantly. Then, she took out a dark gray plant from the basket. The plant is about half a meter long, surrounded by four or five round leaves, dark gray all over the body, and a few brown spots stuck to the leaves. It makes people look dirty and uncomfortable.

"This ...... What is such a filthy thing? Miria asked with a look of disgust.

"What dirty stuff?" Lu Qi protested dissatisfied, "This is quite a precious medicinal herb. I cultivated it exclusively. I call it the 'Grass of Restoration of Life and Death'. It is an extremely rare variety that can be used to treat injuries and illnesses without having to make a potion! ”

"Can you use it without making it into a potion? That's pretty good. Miria said coldly.

"Yes...... I think it's easier to just chant healing spells......" Yugari couldn't help but complain.

"What?! You guys reacted so coldly! Seeing Yujiali's attitude, Lu Qi said angrily, "It seems that you don't know how powerful it is." In that case, I need to brush you up on botany! ”

"Alas, it seems that Sister Luqi is going to talk about it at length again." Yugari couldn't help but complain in her heart, "Forget it, it's better to listen to her here anyway than to go out to work as a coolie......

"I ask you, if you are asked to treat the wounded, what are you going to do?" Midori asked.

"Casting healing spells, of course." Yugari replied with a natural expression.

"Oh? What if they're necromancy or dark creatures or something? Lu Qi asked with a look of disdain.

"Huh? Creatures of darkness? "Yogari didn't think about it.

"You can treat it with a special Shadow Healing Spell. Because normal healing spells are either sacred or natural, this is a powerful damage skill for most dark creatures. Miria replied for Yogari.

"Not bad......"

"It's nothing, it's just common sense." Miria said with a very remarkable look.

"I'm not done yet! If you don't know if it's a dark creature or not, how are you going to treat it? ”

"Huh?" Lu Qi asked Yujiali and Miria for a long time, but they couldn't answer for a while.

"No, it won't. I'm still able to tell if it's a dark creature. Yujiali said confidently.

"Hmph. Don't be too presumptuous. At this time, Lu Qi proudly raised the Life and Death Recovery Grass in her hand and said proudly, "At this time, you need my magical herb!" With it, you don't have to tell if your target is a dark creature or not, and you can heal its injuries. As for why it has such a miraculous effect, it can be said that it is quite a great botanical principle. Let me tell you, according to my research, the principle of this phytotherapeutic goal is not to inject the target with the energy of the appropriate attributes, so that the target can replenish the lost vitality, but to mechanically restore the target's wound to the previous uninjured state through a simpler way. Of course, this effect may not be as rapid as you think, and depending on individual differences, the actual effect is still improving, as for when ......"

Yugari and Miria looked at Luqi with a disinterested expression, as if they were thinking of a way to escape.

"Huh? Sister Luqi, what is that? Fruit? Suddenly she noticed that in Luqi's basket, there were many cherry-sized fruits, but the color was much redder than the cherry, and the appearance was very soft and delicious.

"That's what you say. This is also an invention that I am very proud of. Come, I'll give you some first. With that, Lu Qi took out a lot of fiery red fruits from the basket and forced them into Yujiali along with the life and death restoration grass just now. Although Yugali and Miria didn't want it, they had to pretend because of their feelings.

"This is a powerful flavored fruit that I have cultivated after a long period of research, consulting with many professional chefs and a large number of gourmets. I named it 'Fire Dragon Candy'. It's a delicious and exciting fruit. Come, you taste it first. Without waiting for Yugari to react, he shoved a fruit into her mouth.

As soon as Yugari tried to chew it and taste what it tasted like, she immediately seemed to be a different person. She desperately closed her eyes, bared her teeth, and stood up with a flushed face. The exposed skin on the body also has a slight reddish tinge. Suddenly, she yelled at the roof, ignoring Miria next to her, knocking her to the ground along with the table and chairs in front of her, and running frantically towards the backyard.

Seeing Yujali like this startled Miria, and she slowly got up from the ground, and she didn't recover for a long time.

"Huh? Odd? Isn't it delicious? Lu Qi tilted her head and said, "You can taste it too." As he spoke, he took out another fruit and put it in the mouth of Miria, who was in a daze.

Miria instantly became like Eucaly, unable to open her eyes uncomfortably, clenched her teeth, her whole body flushed, and then she hit her head on the ground, trembling and unable to speak.

"Strange, what's wrong?" Lu Qi looked puzzled and muttered to herself on the ceiling, "I also deliberately made the flavor stronger this time." When she looked across again, Miria didn't know where she had gone.

"Are they all gone? I don't say hello, really. Lu Qi pouted as she picked up the basket and walked towards the door, "This is the hot sauce ingredient that I have cultivated with great difficulty." In the past, many restaurant owners begged to buy it. The kids don't say what it tastes like. ”

In the evening, Maye arrives at the door of Eugari's room.

"Knock knock."

"Who?" Asking, Eugari walked towards the door.

"It's meow." As Maye answered, Eugarie opened the door, "You've got it...... Hey? How? What's the happy event? May's eyes widened, staring at Eugari tightly.

"No, no. What's wrong? Yujiali asked embarrassedly as she was staring.

"Because you look like you've put on lipstick."

"Huh? No, that, it's not. Yujiali unconsciously covered her mouth and replied embarrassedly.

"There's a letter from you."

"Huh? My letter? "Yugari felt a little incredulous. Who's going to write to me? I don't think I know anyone." I took the letter as I thought about it.

"It looks like a meow from the north."

"yes, thank you so much." After thanking May, Eugari opened the letter and sat down on the bed, "Ah. It was sent by Sister Heces. Well...... It looks like an invitation. "This year's harvest season, the Star Scars Guild will hold a grand celebration in Xinhe, there will be very interesting celebrations and sumptuous banquets, if you have time, you are very welcome to come to the Star Scars Manor to play...... Hmmm......"

"Xinhe? Star Scars Guild? I don't think I'm impressed. Still, it sounds like a lot of fun. Why don't you go and ask Miria if she wants to go with her.'" Thinking of this, Eugari got up and went to Miria's room.

"Huh? Do you have a cold? Seeing Miria wearing a very exaggerated mask, Yugari asked in surprise.

"Ah...... It's okay. What's going on? Miria replied awkwardly.

"I just received an invitation from Sister Heces. Invite us to Xinhe to participate in the harvest celebration, are you interested? As he spoke, he handed the letter over.

"Xinhe?" Miria took the letter and replied, "I remember that it seemed to be the famous trading capital of the Adventurer Kingdom. The three most famous trade guilds, the Star Marks Guild are located there. It is said to be the guild with the largest number of people in the kingdom of adventurers. Their trade is spread across many countries on the human continent. When I was in Quelstein before, I heard that many nobles had cooperated with them. A lot of the Magic Society's goods are also purchased from them. ”

"That's amazing." Yujali said admiringly, "How about that?" Do you want to go along? ”

"Hmm...... If you have to go, it's not impossible. Miria said a little arrogantly, "Anyway, I wanted to go and see it before." Just in time for the harvest celebration to teleport the circle to open, you can go over and have a look. ”

"That's good. The address is on the invitation, so let's pack it up and go over early tomorrow morning. ”

"Huh? So anxious? ”

"Of course, because the harvest celebration is about to begin, and ...... It's better than staying here and doing coolies. Yugari couldn't help but complain.

"Hmm...... That's fine. I'll tell Brala in a moment, let's leave early tomorrow morning. Miria replied after a moment's thought.

"Excellent! I'm going to say hi to Sister Kaylin, too. Eugari replied happily.

The next morning, while it was still light, Eucarrie, Miria, and Bralla arrived at Ocean Springs Square, northwest of Starlis. Although they got up early, the square was already full of traffic and crowds. In the southern part of the square, large and small guilds have set up their own booths, not only to sell a variety of goods, but also to take the opportunity to show their strength and recruit more members. To the north, behind a statue of a mythical figure, stands a portal four or five meters high, the frame of which is made of special black metal, and the door constantly shimmers with purple-red energy.

"That should be the teleportation circle, right?" Yugari, who had seen this kind of building for the first time, asked.

"Well, that's it." Miria explained, "Because it takes a lot of energy to maintain this teleportation circle, it's only open around the annual Guild Festival. This time it was just in time for the harvest season, so there must have been a lot more people using it than before. ”

"Didn't you really come along? I didn't take her with me last time I went to Sunset, and I think she's been pestering you lately. ”

"That's true, that's right. However, she had a lot of fun camping before. Moreover, she doesn't come back until late these days, so she usually wakes up at noon. ”

"So you took the opportunity to escape, didn't you?"

"Count, count."

"So she's made new friends, huh? Why don't you come back so late? ”

"I guess so. She seemed to have said that someone had given her a few new toys. But I didn't see her friends either. ”

"It's nice to make friends, but it's better to be more safe, and it's not very reassuring to always come back late."

"Yes, I told her. However, children are always very willful. ”

While chatting, the three of them came to the portal. As if nervous, Yugari followed Miria with her eyes closed.

When Yujari opened her eyes again, the three of them were already in a bustling city. In front of it is a larger and wider square than Ocean Spring Square. There is a tall statue standing at each of the four corners of the square, some holding a sharp sword, some galloping on the field, each statue is five or six meters high, and the workmanship is even more elaborate and ingenious. The square is full of people, so it's not lively.

"This, is this Xinhe?" Looking at the scene in front of her, Yujiali asked uncertainly.

"I guess so." Miria looked around and said with a little hesitation, "It should be about the same size as Dream City." Let's ask somebody. ”

"It's fine." With that, Eugari took the invitation card, found the guides near the teleportation circle, asked them for the address above, and then walked in the direction of the Star Scar Manor with Miria and Brala. Along the way, Eucalyte looked around and admired the surrounding street scenes, which made Miria constantly complain, "Don't go into the city like a hillbilly." What a shame! ”

"Haha......" Yugari replied embarrassedly, "I didn't have time to visit when I was in Dream City before, but now it's time to take a good tour." ”

"Look there, look there." Jugari excitedly pointed to the crowd in the distance, pulled Miria and shouted, "What's in there?" ”

Looking along Yujiali's direction, a group of soldiers were guarding a carriage drawn by dozens of war horses in the distance, covering a nearly ten-meter-high box with black canvas, which looked very shocking.

"I don't know, I guess it's a prop for the celebration." Miria replied with a disinterested attitude, "All right." Let's hurry up, it's still quite far from Star Trace Manor. ”

"Okay." Yugari replied in frustration, and the three of them walked straight towards the Star Scar Manor.

When they arrived at the Star Trace Manor, Yugari was once again stunned by the sight in front of them, "W-Is this the Star Scar Manor?" It's magnificent. ”

"It's fine. After all, it is the seat of the top trade guild in the kingdom, so of course it needs to be built in style. Miria replied as a matter of course.

Just as they were about to enter, Yugari suddenly saw two figures walking in the distance, it was Hecis and her deputy Feng Lin.

"Hey! What a coincidence. "I thought you would arrive later, but I didn't expect to come so soon." ”

"Well, we'll be here as soon as we get the invitation." Yugari happily responded, "Thank you very much for the invitation. It's my first time here. ”

"You're welcome. Let's talk as we go. With that, Hecis led Eugari and the others into the manor.

"After that, how did your shield go?"

"That's very good. You see. As she spoke, Heather immediately put on a sleek silver shield. It was a very small shield, barely enough to cover Hithis's arm. The shield is made entirely of a special silver material, with a smooth and bright surface that can even be used as a mirror. "Not only is this shield light and convenient, but it's also very effective in defending against spells. It's perfect for my combat habits, thank you so much. ”

"Where, it's great to be able to help you." Yujiali said politely.

As they spoke, they came to a very luxurious building. At this time, an old man with silver hair but good spirits was already standing in front of the door to greet them. This person is none other than the owner of this manor, the president of the Star Marks Guild, Roden.
