When the morning bell rang again, Chen Kai, who had been nesting in the Payne Hotel for two days, was woken up by a loud cheer and the sound of the bell. When they opened the curtains, they found that the outside had turned into a sea of joy, as the winter festival of Pezaros never had a fixed start date, as most of them included the first day when the heavy snow stopped as the start date of the winter festival. This day is generally between October 23 and November 8 on the calendar, and the span is relatively large.

So although the inhabitants of Pezaros began to prepare when the snow began to fall, or when the weather began to cool down in October, they were still a little caught off guard when the snow finally fell. However, the annual Winter Festival has been held for hundreds of years, so most of the residents are already familiar with the process, and the first day of the Winter Festival, when the heavy snow stops, is the time for everyone to get up.

This time is difficult to grasp in reality, but in the game, especially in the magical world dominated by gods, the temple of nature has an extremely powerful say in the cessation of heavy snow. While the snow outside Pezaros was still slowly stopping to fall, the snow inside the city had stopped under the influence of the Winter Goddess.

In fact, the official opening of the entire Pezaros Winter Festival is not the snow, but the appearance of the ice and snow altar of the goddess of winter. This ice altar does not appear in a fixed place somewhere in Pezaros, it only appears anywhere in the city streets of Pezaros. When the people have swept away the snow accumulated on the last night on the ground, they can find the altar under the snow. Therefore, it is generally after 10 o'clock in the evening. The inhabitants of Pezaros rarely go out into the streets, but they get up early the next morning to sweep the snow from the streets in front of them.

Especially on the day when the snow stops, everyone is careful when they sweep the ground, and even more so when they find an altar that resembles an ice sculpture. However, the ice altar built on the ground is unusually strong. Even a continuous smash with a heavy hammer will not necessarily destroy a corner. This year's altar appeared less than two hundred meters away from the Payne Hotel where Chen Kai and the others were renting, and because of this, everyone was blasted out of bed by a noisy sound early in the morning.

For ordinary residents, the appearance of the altar represented the arrival of good luck, as they could use the altar to offer sacrificial items to the goddess of winter. It doesn't have to be expensive, as long as it is the most cherished thing for them, it will be exchanged for something that makes them happy. For example, a poor farmer exchanged his most precious shoulder for ten shining Mithril coins, which were almost equivalent to decades of wealth compared to his skewer, which had lost its skin for more than ten years. Therefore, whenever an altar appears in a place, people will flock to offer sacrifices, hoping to exchange what they think is most precious for something better. But then people gradually realized that what they wanted was not necessarily what they wanted. Because when they sacrifice what they think is more dear, the mood is different from that of the farmer who sacrificed in the first place. One is because of poverty and can't make ends meet, and the other is because of greed, so although the sacrifice is still alive, it is only for the sake of sacrificing to the goddess of winter, and no one has exchanged it for what is precious to them, and occasionally there are people who receive rewards from the gods, but they are not very precious things.

But for the common poor, sacrifice was the closest they could get to the gods in their lives. And most importantly, even if it's just a sacrifice of something that isn't very valuable, you will get a little bit of divine grace. Whether it's relieving pain or healing illness, Adella, the goddess of winter, can do it by mobilizing the natural power of the goddess of nature. Winter represents the destruction of all things and the cold, but it is also a time of life. In fact, when the three sisters of the goddess, that is, the three goddesses of life, earth, and nature, were all present, the priesthood of birth and reproduction was managed by the goddess of nature, from the goddess of winter, and the goddess of spring. But as the goddess of nature and the goddess of the earth fell into a deep sleep, the multiplying priesthood began to be held by the goddess of life alone. But this does not mean that the Goddess of Winter cannot be mobilized, in fact, as the only natural servant who is still loyal to the Goddess of Nature and does not fall asleep, the Goddess of Winter can not only mobilize the power of this priesthood but also mobilize the healing power of the Goddess of Life. …,

For most civilians, these healing powers are sufficient, because most of the civilians' physical ailments can be cured with only a little healing power. If they can't be cured, they can only delay their death. In the game, the gods are not omnipotent. At least so far, no god has been able to claim that he can snatch the souls of non-believers from the hands of Antoros and resurrect him on earth. Even believers can only be resurrected in the kingdom of the gods, and it is impossible to be resurrected on earth. So far, the only people who have been resurrected are the dead creatures. However, they cannot be regarded as living beings at all, they can only be said to be dead people who have escaped the control of the Hades King Antolo. In fact, the most powerful thing to deal with the undead is not the divine power, but the sacrifice of the temple of Hades. However, the sacrifices of the temple of Hades generally have no intention of interfering with the resurrected spirits of the dead. In fact, the temple of Hades is completely detached in the game. It does not require the faith of the believer, and no player has succeeded in joining the temple. In fact, for the player, the Temple of Hades is nothing more than a place to resurrect in the city, and without it, they would have to crawl out of the grave in the graveyard in the wild. Because of this detached attitude, even in places that have been occupied by the Dark Council, the Hades Temple still exists, and even in holy cities such as the City of Dawn or the City of Radiance, which completely belong to the Lord of Dawn or the Lord of Radiance, there are also the existence of the Temple of Hades.

Antolo, the king of Hades, may not be the most worshipped deity, but he is definitely the one who has the most temples and temples, and even in some places in the wilderness there are temples or dilapidated temples. Of course, some of the temples in the wild are generally abandoned, and they are filled with all kinds of dead creatures, which is the most favorite and hated place for players. I like it because Andoro, the king of Hades, likes to place all kinds of magical items in his temple. Every temple of Hades is rich, but the traps and powerful creatures of death inside can kill any intruder.

In today's Pezzaros, the protagonist is definitely not the Antolo who only knows how to shrink in the underworld, but Adella, the most popular goddess of winter in Pezzaros. In fact, early in the morning, when the owner of Payne's Inn knew that the altar was not far from his inn, the whole inn began to fall into a very lively scene. It's just that Chen Kai, who is still asleep, has no intention of getting up at all. In Chen Kai's opinion, the appearance of the innkeeper is like the pilgrims who rush to burn incense in the New Year in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, but the temples and immortals and Buddhas in reality are all illusory, and the gods in the game are more real than those aborigines.

However, Chen Kai and the others eventually underestimated the enthusiasm of the Pezaros for the gods, and they were finally woken up from the room by the noisy sound of the crowd, and then had to walk out of the room after washing up. In the hotel room, everyone can do one thing after getting up, but Chen Kai can't, that is, stretching his waist, because his body is too tall. He couldn't straighten up in his room, even if he was lying on the bed, and he didn't have a bed at all in the room where he lived in the hotel. The huge body made him have to sleep on the floor, but fortunately, the owner of the Payne Inn was a very good owner who took care of the guests, and he directly used sixteen quilts to cushion Chen Kai underneath to turn into the softest mattress.

Of course, after Chen Kai left, he thought of the effect of the sixteen quilts. The owner of the Penn Hotel directly introduced a super large bed, which is four meters long and more than three meters wide, enough to sleep three or four people together. Of course, this large bed is very popular with those with special preferences, so the Penn Hotel has seen people coming in and out with two or three beautiful women in their arms every day. Of course, this is already a matter after Chen Kai and the others left, and now there is no such big bed at the Payne Hotel, so Chen Kai can only lay on the floor. …,

Although sleeping in the place made Chen Kai very unhappy. But the cushion carpet composed of three layers of quilts is very soft, which makes Chen Kai sleep very comfortably. It's just that he knows that such days are coming to an end, because according to Hammerta, when the winter festival begins, that is, when the heavy snow stops, a day later they will continue their journey to Kazmodo, and Chen Kai will sleep in the snow again. But today Chen Kai can still enjoy the sun after the heavy snowfall, if there is a sun in the sky of Pezzaros.

In fact, when Chen Kai walked out of the hotel door, he knew that there was no way to realize the idea of basking in the sun. Although the heavy snow has stopped, the sky is still covered with clouds. There were a few rays of sunlight shining in between. Layers of faint golden light reflected above the snow, but it was only a fleeting light. As waves of people poured into the street where the inn was located. Chen Kai tragically found that it was almost impossible to get out of the hotel, because the whole street was full of people who wanted to go out and could only passively join the crowd. Both Chen Kai, who was huge, and Fei Yun, who was agile, were extremely frightened of such a thing, so in the end they chose to stay in the hotel.

Perhaps in gratitude for the gift of the Goddess of Winter, Boss Payne, who has always been more critical in the eyes of others, was unusually generous and asked everyone for a piece of brioche bread. The reason why there is only one piece is very simple, that is, Chen Kai, a foodie, made him give up the idea of inviting everyone to breakfast. If you want to invite everyone to breakfast, it is estimated that Chen Kai alone can kill the food of seven or eight adults, plus the mercenaries like Hammer Tower, who are also bigger than ordinary people's appetites, it is estimated that in the end, it will directly make Boss Payne lose a lot of money. However, the guests in the inn were very satisfied with a piece of brioche bread per person, of course, not that they could not afford to eat such bread, in fact, those who could afford to live in the inn would basically not be able to afford to spend fifty copper on a piece of such bread. After all, the cost of a night's accommodation at the Penn Inn is at least fifty silver coins, and as the most complete and largest hotel in Pezaros, the Penn Inn with two hundred rooms is definitely the Hilton of the game, and the lobby of the inn alone is as big as a four-star hotel.
