Christmas, as a Western Christian festival to celebrate the birth of the Son, also has a large number of people in China to celebrate this imported festival: women use this festival to drain men's wallets to buy all kinds of things that are completely useless to men, and merchants do everything possible to use holiday discounts to put money in everyone's pockets, and children can also get all kinds of gifts and toys they want.
For the Germans in Tokushima, Christmas is far less localized than these local things – in their customs, Christmas is like the Chinese New Year as a family reunion and a religious holiday for believers, and there is no need to spend money on it. As early as the beginning of November, German families began preparations for Christmas.
For Von Longde, Christmas is not only a religious holiday and a holiday in German customs, but it also happens to be his birthday - in two days, he will be seventeen, and tomorrow he will officially become an adult of German origin.
"Caroline, I didn't expect you to be interested in this festival. In the Feng family's compound, Feng Longde was busy getting the finished gingerbread and Christmas cookies from the oven to the dining table in the living room, while turning his head to look at Caroline, who was also preparing, "You have been listless in the previous festivals, but you are quite active in this festival, help me with this and that." ”
Caroline was standing on a ladder to hang decorations on the Christmas tree in the corner of the living room: "Those days didn't mean much to us, but the date of this 'Christmas' happened to coincide with a big festival during the Teutonic Empire, so I contacted Yarman and they came back to celebrate the holiday together." ”
Feng Longde shook his hand when he heard this, and he almost didn't throw the plate on the ground: "The festival of the Teutonic Empire?
"Yes, I was surprised when I knew about the festival. Caroline nodded, "Brother, Yarman, they just need to report to you about the situation. As their king, you can't just ignore it all the time, can you?"
Feng Longde was stunned.
It's been almost two months, if Caroline hadn't mentioned them from time to time, Feng Longde would have almost forgotten about these Teutonic chivalrous knights - Caroline did everything to cover up their identities, and they usually disguised themselves as ordinary people and mixed in public, and only Caroline knew what they were doing, so it can be said that as long as Caroline didn't tell the truth, Feng Longde didn't know what these guys did at all.
But in any case, these people have a connection with him, and Feng Longde can more or less meet each other no matter how afraid of trouble: usually old classmates and old friends have to get together, and these Teutonic chivalrous knights have a soul oath with himself, and they are his own people.
"You arrange it. Feng Longde nodded, although he went to the kitchen to check the inventory: "We have to go out after the arrangement is done later, the reserves at home are not enough for more than eighty people to eat a meal, Caroline, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, Yarman They are still working, right?"
"Yes, brother. Caroline hung up the last bell, climbed down the ladder, and winked at Feng Longde, "You want to meet them?"
"I remember you told me that they were in the city center now in various industries, and I was going to stop by when I went shopping. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders and began to change into a down jacket in the hallway.
Although the camouflage ability can construct the devoured clothes out of flesh and blood, and even design new styles by herself, Feng Longde's physical strength is far from the level of not being afraid of the cold, so she also needs to attach clothes to resist the low temperature;
The city centre is always bustling with traffic during the festive season, and every supermarket or store is filled with the smell of Western winter – snowflakes, bush decorations, and Santa's cheerful headshots, plus pentagram decorations and Christmas trees everywhere, and the whole city seems to have a bell ringing: churches have begun to ring their bells.
"It's finally a little more pleasant to see - the usual urban style is too metallic. Walking down the street, Feng Longde glanced around, and it felt so pleasing to the eye: the family who went out shopping in winter clothes, the couples who went to the café together, the congregants who were holding the cross and preparing to go to church, and the shirtless Santa Claus
Wait!Shirtless Santa Claus?!
Feng Longde rubbed his eyes and looked over again with the luck of "I must have been dazzled": I saw that there were several staff members playing Santa Claus who were handing out leaflets to passers-by in the entrance area of a Carrefour shopping mall on the street, they were wearing thick leather boots, loose red cotton pants, and a red Santa hat on their heads, with a white wig in the Santa hat and a white fake long beard on their faces.
At first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it - but at a glance, Feng Longde almost fell on the ground, and these staff members have less of Santa Claus's dress: he is not wearing a shirt.
That's right, think of the scene on a cold and windy street, where a group of shirtless and bare-chested bodybuilders with eight-pack abs and oily chests like olive oil-coated bodybuilders chanting "Merry Christmas!" while handing out flyers to shocked passers-by
Anyway, now there are a lot of people around these brothers and noble Santa Claus to watch the excitement, and even many passers-by have taken out their mobile phones: it is conservatively estimated that this group of guys will retweet more than 500 in half a day, and they will be on the headlines of local TV news programs in one day
When Feng Longde was still thinking about putting the broken three views back into place, Caroline's words shattered his three views to the point that they couldn't be reshaped: "Brother, these are all members of Yarman's flag team, and they have been recruited as staff in the supermarket called Carrefour here these days. ”
Feng Longde: "Thousands of grooves turned into a sentence, what do the brains of these people think!"
Caroline didn't care about Feng Longde's embarrassed state, and directly used the soul connection to contact the few funny chivalrous knights, and then Feng Longde's soul connection came from a few strange soul fluctuations, and one of them estimated that the leader of several people sent such a message: "Your Majesty, the Teutonic chivalrous knight Sir Dick DeWitt Ernest and four colleagues work here, what are the orders?"
Feng Longde: "I don't have any orders, I just want to know how you live independently these days." ”
"Under the guidance of Her Highness the Maggie, we applied for jobs in various industries in the city center, according to our own strengths and professions before entering the Order. While communicating through the soul connection, these goods were still working, Feng Longde felt that it was not good for his eyes, so he turned his back to the crowd and listened to the soul fluctuations, "The five of us were just ordinary noble children before entering the Knights, and we didn't have any special specialties, and we were just physically strong before we were reincarnated as black knights- That's why we're going to have to apply for this type of job, but these days this supermarket needs a Santa Claus player, and we used to go to the shopping mall on the other side of the street to apply for a medieval janitor."
Feng Longde almost didn't hit the ground at the end of the street: no wonder every time I went to the mall a few days ago, I felt familiar with the staff dressed as plate knights who stood there like statues to attract attention, and these five goods were put to life with their strengths!
"So what about your salary, what is the standard of living and the living environment?"
"It's about 3,000 Huaxia dollars a month, which seems to be quite low. Dick's soul fluctuated as if he was a little puzzled, "Many of us in the same profession complain that the wages are a little low, but we don't think it ourselves, probably because we don't have so many material needs: eating and drinking are just a kind of entertainment or habit for us, and we are not used to those novelty things, so these wages are enough for us, but they are not as high as the military pay and allowances we used to have in the Knights." In the place where we live, we rented a room for five people to huddle together, with the most basic daily necessities, water and electricity, and the people here have been able to master the use of the thunder element very skillfully."
Feng Longde was a little speechless, thanks to the fact that these people are deceased, the first four items in eating, drinking, and sleeping can be removed, and the last item is left. This last item they didn't save may have to thank the cost of renting a house now is not too expensive, otherwise according to the behavior style of these people, it is estimated that it is possible to live in the cemetery.
Bidding farewell to his strange brother Santa Claus, Von Rond was led by Caroline to identify his Teutonic chivalrous knights while shopping for supplies.
With Caroline's help, Von found that these Teutonic knights had been thoroughly integrated into the local society in just over two months: in basically every supermarket, every shopping mall, and every street, he could detect two or three familiar soul fluctuations in the soul connection, and these guys acted as supermarket employees, doormen, bar waiters, hotel maîtress boys, hotel lobby managers, and so on according to their abilities and specialties.
Not only that, but in addition to earning money to support themselves, these guys also collected information and intelligence from all sides according to Caroline's instructions: don't expect Caroline to consciously let go of her heart to rebuild the Teutonic Empire, just as it is a truth not to expect Feng Longde's brain hole to heal on its own.
In a four-star hotel, Bertha, with her long blond hair, plays the role of lobby manager, in a popular bar, Yarman, who looks like a Nordic rock singer and cries and howls on the guitar with a black vest and pimples, is popular, Bernie walks around in a black suit, white shirt and black tie as a real estate agent, and in the library, Charles directs the staff to sort the books, and he is the head of the library's reading room
Most of the Teutonic knights are in the same situation as Dick: some are janitors, some are security guards, and some are service personnel, but even if it is an ordinary job, they can play flowers in the hands of these Teutonic chivalrous knights - those brothers and nobles Santa Claus seen earlier are quite good, and Feng Longde also saw several female Teutonic chivalrous knights working in an ACG maid coffee shop on the road, all wearing plate armor& There is a two-handed big sword diagonally stuck in the back of the black and white maid suit, and the store advertises that it is a big sword maid
In Feng Longde's opinion, these guys who looked more Germanic than Germany at the beginning were simply not ordinary, but he was not qualified to talk about others, he himself was the most typical German, and he was usually not serious
On the way home after purchasing supplies, Caroline looked too calm in the face of Feng Longde's sad and angry inquiry: "According to my brother's arrangement, the chivalrous knights have each found a suitable job in just a few days, and in order to maximize the source of information, they are all concentrated in the city center. ”
"You cow, I don't doubt that they don't have the corresponding ability, but I wonder how these second-class people can play so many tricks in a normal job? Brother Santa Claus, the big sword maid, and the most ordinary gate guard in the Middle Ages can all be in the posture of the goalkeeper in the football team!"
Caroline shook her head undeniably: "Although you think it's too weird, brother, it turns out that they rely on this way to ensure their work and life, and even have a positive impact, isn't it?"
Feng Longde: "It's really undeniable, these guys just rely on such a stupid way of selling festivals, and the standard of living is not bad for anyone."
"Rest assured, brother, they will be the vanguard of the Frontier when they discover the entrance to the inner world, so that you don't have to worry about them causing any trouble or attracting attention—although this has not happened so far. Caroline patted Feng Longde on the shoulder more humanely, and after five months of getting along day and night, she was not too emotionally fluctuating.
"Hopefully, you'll have to speed up your probing. Feng Longde nodded as if he had been amnestied, to be honest, letting these militants stay on Earth was simply testing his psychological endurance, especially since they also had a boss who was full of militaristic ideas and Teutonic imperialism
"Your will, brother. Caroline nodded.
"Let's go back, it's getting late. Feng Longde stretched out his hand and stopped a taxi, "I have to put all these things in place when I go back, and tomorrow I have to welcome these strange goods at home for the holiday and the day after tomorrow is my own birthday, and those guys from Weisk will definitely come over to make trouble, there are many things." ”
(In other words, compared with the works signed at the same time, it's a bit miserable to click on the collection to recommend something, I hope you can support it as much as possible, if it can be put on the shelves, the strip can also have a reason to write better~)
