Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Festival of Nightfall

"So, is this the excuse you made for your actions last night?" As the president of the Mage Guild and the former archmage of the Elven Court, Antuin's image has always been elegant and steady, but at this time, Antuin's expression makes people not see that he is an elf at all, but like a hungry monster in the wilderness that wants to eat people, the energy of magic beats in his eyes, and electricity almost gushes out of his eyes. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a demigod mage, but he could barely control his energy explosion, which shows his anger at this time. Antuin gasped a few times, barely suppressed the anger that might explode at any time, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how much of an impact you have caused? Now most of the city is discussing your deeds last night, what about the image of the elves, what about the image of the winged people? what about the image of the Nelly adventure party? and your ...... of Kyle Well, you're Pannisy now, and you don't have much of an image in the first place, so I won't mention that. ”

"Hey, hey, why don't I mention it when it's my turn?" Pannis protested dissatisfiedly: "How can I say that I am also a member of the adventure party, and I have also appeared in the legend of the adventure group, why don't I have an image?"

"Yes, you have an image, but unfortunately it's all negative. Antuin slammed his staff and roared angrily: "You don't talk nonsense, don't change the topic for me, now we are discussing the issue of your behavior last night, be serious." ”

In front of the angry Antuin, a group of ladies lined up, neatly bowed their heads, accepted Antuin's reprimand. Antoin is more than fifteen hundred years old, older than all the people present combined, although the ages of different races cannot be simply converted, but for this elder who has experienced the reign of three generations of elven queens, whether it is Vral as a queen, or the light and dark twins who are the spiritual symbol of the winged people, there will be enough respect, not to mention the few girls who belong to the youngest generation of adventure groups. Of course, this does not include Eva, after all, simply comparing the biological age, Eva's can be worth six or seven Antoine, but if calculated according to her mental age, she is still just a simple child, so she also stands with the girls, and bears Antuin's anger with a blank face.

It was only Pannis, who still had a lazy expression, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, calm down, calm down, don't you just take everyone out for a drink, and then entertain for a while, why be so nervous?"

"Got a little bit of wine, had a bit of fun, hehe, hehe, that's exactly what happened. Antuin gritted his teeth and sneered, the anger in his heart almost turned into a materialized flame, and he roared loudly: "What you said is simple, a group of you go out to drink at night, forget it, change six taverns in a row, and most of them are still drunk, it's nothing if they are drunk, just come back to sleep, but you don't, you want to wander around the street, and you want to let everyone see your image." You are very special in your image, do you know that you are a public figure now, do you know what a public figure is? After you are shaken around, most people can recognize you, and they all know that the elven queen, the winged twins, and the most powerful adventurous solidarity companion in the human world, drink heavily, do you think this is very glorious? This is not the end, if it is just that, I will not say anything about you, after all, you are young people, it is normal to indulge yourself once in a while, and it is tolerable to go overboard, but what did you do later?"

The girls shook their heads in unison, indicating that they didn't remember anything at all, but it was clear that what happened last night, although they were drunk, was not so easy to forget.

"Don't remember? Of course, Antuin would not believe the ladies' statement, and said with a sneer: "First of all, all of you, all of the adventuring party, as you staggered along the road, you began to sing loudly, first Faral's folk songs, then Denya's chants, and then to the singing of arias in high notes, and finally each singing his own, causing a mess, my message is correct." ”

The girls of the party blushed, and in fact Antuin was right. Yesterday was Neville's traditional festival, the Night Festival, and according to legend, six or seven thousand years ago, at the beginning of the Tertiary Period, there was a powerful nocturnal beast that wreaked havoc in this area, and whenever night fell, it would catch the villagers in various villages for food, and in order to protect themselves, everyone locked themselves in their rooms every night and shivered. Until one day, a legendary unsung hero passed by here, and could not bear to see the villagers living in such horrors, so he stayed outside the house that night, ready to fight the monster to the death, but the timid villagers did not dare to pin their hopes on the hero, and still hid in their homes that night. As a result, on the same night, the monster attacked the place again, and a fierce battle broke out with the hero. Although the hero is very heroic, the monster is too powerful, the battle is becoming more and more difficult, and the hero's body is getting more and more scars, but even so, the villagers still hide at home, not daring to go out to provide any help to the hero. Seeing that the hero was about to be unable to support it, there was finally a villager who couldn't face the guilt in his heart and couldn't bear to watch others fight for his own life, so the villager finally opened the door and stood up, picked up his weapon and rushed towards the monster. If there is a first person, there will be a second person, and more and more people realize that their safety should be guarded by themselves, so they raise their weapons and even farm tools together, and bravely rush towards the murderous monster. Eventually, the hero killed the monster with everyone's help, and the area was safe and calm again. Since then, in order to commemorate the deeds of the heroes and the brave who died in battle, the locals have designated this day as the Night Festival every year, and on the night of the Night Festival, people will pour into the streets and hold a grand procession to celebrate.

Over time, the custom spread throughout the Neville region, and the focus of the event shifted from commemoration to entertainment. Today's night festival, still with a large-scale parade activities, the front of the procession, is the exquisite and gorgeous lights of the carriage, according to the size of the city, the number of carriages is also different, but Neville City as the capital, the number of carriages has exceeded a hundred, dozens of carriages in front of each erected a set of gorgeous sculptures, these sculptures combined, is the legend of the hero to destroy the monster, as for the back of the carriage has undergone a special transformation, a large number of artists stand on the roof of the car to perform dance and acrobatics, for the crowd to watch。 Countless people crowded around the convoy and marched around the city with the convoy, singing and cheering in unison, almost like a carnival.
