Chapter 23: Fireworks Show
For Richard's words, Dahan still has some scruples, after all, he doesn't want to be an enemy of a nobleman, even if it's just a baron. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So, Dahan just scared Richard and let him go.
"Haha, I'll just say you don't dare to hit me, you'd better be careful. ”
Seeing that Dahan really let himself go, Richard hurriedly took two steps back, and began to say unkind words loudly, and then ran away without waiting for Dahan to react.
Seeing Richard leave directly, the big man smiled disdainfully, and then turned around and left.
When the onlookers saw that the lords on both sides were gone, they stopped staying here and left one after another. After all, today is a carnival, a festival of celebration, although such a thing happened, but it didn't happen to them after all, so it's time to carnival, and the townspeople continue to party. Even if they were interrupted just now, their enthusiasm is still undiminished.
North looked at the departing big man in the crowd, and he was very interested in this big man who suddenly appeared, this big man should be a professional, and his strength is not low.
However, after all, there is no friendship, so I won't go out of my way to get to know him. North continued walking, but this time with the crowd, he didn't expect so many people to gather here when he arrived at the bazaar.
The crowd that had just been watching the bustle was now slowly walking towards the center of the town. North was in the crowd, watching the people around them cheer, and they were happy.
North was surprised to see in the crowd the people whose faces were burned with the word slave on their faces, and who were also in the revelry, and the people next to them did not reject them.
North followed the crowd towards the square, looking at the joyful expressions on the faces of the people around him, and North forgot what had just happened. As the advancing procession passed by the inn where he was staying, North broke away from the revelry.
"Guest officer, why is it coming so soon, don't you continue to look at it with the carnival team?"
When the innkeeper saw that North had returned, he greeted him warmly and asked why he had returned so early.
"It's nothing, I've just walked a little way, and I want to take a break so that I can watch the fireworks in the evening. ”
When North saw the innkeeper greet him, he simply replied to the boss's words.
"Do you want me to call you at night?"
"No, I'll come down on my own when the time comes. Hearing the boss's words, North immediately explained to the innkeeper, but stopped when he turned around, and asked the boss, "Boss, why is it that people with the word slave on their faces are also in the party?" Moreover, the carnival ranks do not exclude them. ”
"Oh, the guest officer is asking this, today is Carnival, the slaves in our town, that is their master during the carnival, specially given them a holiday. This is a very common thing in our town of Leiden. ”
Hearing North's question, the innkeeper immediately explained everything to North.
"Oh, I see. ”
With that, North left, not wanting to stay any longer.
When the innkeeper saw that North wanted to go upstairs, he stopped talking to him and let him go back to his room to rest.
Returning to the room, North quietly thought about the scene he had just seen, he didn't expect that during the carnival, those rich people would actually give slaves a holiday and let them rest during the carnival.
What's even more amazing is that they are harmoniously in the carnival team, dancing and venting to their heart's content, and they don't speak ill of those slaves, just because this is a carnival, which is incredible.
Not thinking so much about it, North lay quietly on the bed and rested. He was eager to see the fireworks display, after all, their town had never hosted such a grand event.
The night in the town of Leiden is lit up by the carnival, and the town is beautifully decorated with all kinds of colors. North walks the streets of Leiden at night, and there is a big difference between a night town and a day town.
Walking quietly to the central square of the town, North saw a lot of people slowly moving towards the central square. As time passed, the central square became more and more crowded, and it was not until the square was about to be filled that someone began to manage it in an orderly manner.
"Be quiet, everyone, be quiet. ”
As he began to manage the crowd, Baron Fett slowly appeared on top of the City Lord's Mansion. Baron Fett was only speaking softly, but he could be heard throughout the square, and even the whole town, and with Baron Fett's words, the whole square became silent.
"This year is another annual carnival, and in this year, we have a great harvest of grain. So, in a grand event like today, I think it should be more grand. So I bought a lot of fireworks and threw a fireworks show, now let's start the carnival ceremony. ”
As Baron Fett spoke, two middle-aged men in dark robes and a code of laws in their hands stepped out from under the statues in the central square of the town.
Seeing the appearance of the two, everyone was quiet and looked at the two quietly.
"The carnival ceremony begins, kneeling to the Holy Lord. ”
Just as North was wondering what they were going to do, the two middle-aged men spoke. With the middle-aged man's words, all the people in the square knelt down, except for North.
Because North didn't know why he was doing this, North was now the only one standing in the entire square. North looked around the square and was a little stunned when he saw that everyone but him had knelt down.
The two people in dark robes were also stunned, they didn't expect that someone would be standing all the time.
"Get on your knees, or crouch down. ”
Perhaps sensing something, the innkeeper who accompanied North out raised his head, looked around, and saw that North was still standing next to him, and the innkeeper's frightened sweat came out, and he immediately pulled North's clothes with his hand.
Sensing that someone was pulling his clothes, North looked down and saw the innkeeper talking to him, although he didn't understand why he was squatting down, but when he saw the people in the square, North still squatted down.
"What's going on? Why do you want me to kneel or crouch?"
Crouching down, North expressed his doubts to the innkeeper beside him.
"I'm going to explain to you in detail later, what I do, you just follow me. ”
The innkeeper stopped speaking to North, bowed his head again, and prayed sincerely.
Seeing that the people below also knelt down, the two people in front of them breathed a sigh of relief and continued the ritual.
"The Lord tells us that God is the light, and that there is no darkness in Him. The Lord tells us......"
Listening to the words of the two people in front of him, North probably understood what was going on, and it turned out that he was reading their canon. The two middle-aged men were chanting alternately, and after about a stick of incense, North heard the voice stop.
"Let us praise our great Holy Lord, our supreme deity. Thank you, Holy Lord. ”
As the people in the square chanted the words of praise, North felt something different in the air, but seeing them all get up, North suppressed the feeling.
"Alright, now the fireworks show has officially begun. ”
With the voice of Baron Fett, who was above the City Lord's Mansion, a lot of light points lit up on a tall building not far from the square, and there were many banging sounds along with these light points.
The people in the square looked in the direction of the sound along with the sound, and when the sound sounded, colorful fireworks exploded in the sky.
roar
Just as people were immersed in the beauty brought by the fireworks, a ground storm bear appeared in front of people from small to large in the sky. There was a roar at the people in the square, and the people in the square were startled, but before the people could panic, the Earth Storm Bear exploded and turned into brilliant fireworks. It was only then that people realized that the Earth Storm Bear was also a firework, so the original screams of fear turned into enthusiastic cheers.
Ha ha
Baron Fett laughed at the cheers of the people below, pleased with the surprise he had prepared for the fireworks show.
"Hey, Fett, why didn't you tell me if there was a Earth Storm Bear firework, why didn't you let me put that Earth Storm Bear firework, did you still take me seriously. ”
Seeing the Earth Storm Bear fireworks released in the air, Richard, who had been standing by watching the fireworks, yelled loudly at Baron Fett.
