After the archmage left, Xia Duo and Nia joined Vincent and the others, and after a brief reminiscence, Xia Duo took the initiative to talk about the anomalies of this celebration:

"Didn't you say before that the New Year's celebration was a reward ceremony? Why are the Trailblazers the protagonists now? ”

In fact, putting aside the possible "conspiracy" element, Xia Duo was both a participant and a pioneer in the previous war on the Green Plane of Fields, and even any pioneer was like him, and the changes in the celebration had no effect on him.

But for those who are not trailblazers, it's different.

After all the hard work of participating in the plane war, the arcanist took the trouble to help repair the magic net, and thought it would be a grand reward ceremony, but now he was told that the protagonist was not himself.

Who feels good about this!

For example, Belera, when she heard Xia Duo talk about it at the moment, she unabashedly showed strong dissatisfaction:

"I really don't know how the Seven Towers are arranged! I've told my father to come and watch the ceremony! Now look at the process, the reward ceremony is just a formality, so when I go back, my father won't laugh at me! ”

"Uh-"

Ethers didn't dare to say this, even Xia Duo didn't know how to answer, he originally wanted to ask Belella to see if she knew the inside story, or if there was any rumor of it.

But somehow it touched Belera's sensitive nerves.

Chado remembered that Belera had said that she had run away from home to study at the Gillestall Tower, and she usually hid from home, so why did she suddenly invite her parents to watch the ceremony?

Sure enough!

At this time, Nia, who got Xia Duo's hint, quickly changed the topic and asked, "Do you all know the specific process of the celebration?" ”

Just now, Woyd just introduced a general process, and many details were not detailed, only that there would be a special person with a rehearsal.

Nia asked, her eyes wandering around the crowd, and this time Ethers finally got the chance to speak, he really didn't want to listen to Belera complain about the Seven Towers.

It's not that he has a deep affection for the Seven Towers, but that this topic is somewhat sensitive, so he hurriedly followed Nia's words and replied:

"Yes, and we've already rehearsed once, just wait for everyone to have another rehearsal, and then we can go back! You've just arrived, and someone should be looking for you in a moment to take you to a rehearsal. ”

"What happened to those three days?" Xia Duo suddenly interjected.

"I know!"

Vincent shouted loudly, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he subconsciously shrank his head, and of course he didn't forget to answer Xia Duo's question:

"The Trail Blazers are going to stay here for a few more days, and the rest of the people can leave with just one collective rehearsal."

"Really?!"

Xia Duo and Nia glanced at each other, Archmage Woyd didn't say this just now, and I don't know if I forgot to say it, or what.

But now that the other trailblazers know, there shouldn't be any problem.

……

After that, Xia Duo and the others started more discussions about this New Year's celebration.

After a while, two low-ranking mages with the insignia of the Gilles Tower came to Xia Duo's side and asked if they would accept the rehearsal instructions.

Of course, Xia Duo chose to accept it, and after talking to Vincent, Belella and the others, he and Nia left with the two receptionists.

The so-called rehearsal, but in fact, the receptionist takes the participants through the ceremony through the whole process of the celebration, and is responsible for answering some less sensitive questions.

Of course, they must not know if they are too sensitive.

Xia Duo didn't deliberately ask some strange questions to make things difficult for these receptionists, but he still asked all the questions that should be asked.

……

From the entrance route, the standing position, to how to return the gift during the award ceremony, these receptionists gave standard answers one by one.

If the rehearsal and the official celebration are exactly the same, then the ceremony is really just a formality, and although this rehearsal is only Xia Duo and Nia, the receptionist will also tell them what the other participants are doing.

Except for Xia Duo himself, who will be introduced to his deeds, the others will have only one name at most, and under the high-level mage, even the name will not appear.

And of course, the trailblazers.

And then the pioneer commendation ceremony is completely different, almost every pioneer will have deeds to introduce, including Xia Duo, ten who have been turned into regular in advance, and there will be a display of territory development results, which is actually a magic image prepared in advance.

During the rehearsal, Xia Duo didn't see these magical images, but the receptionist mentioned that the images would be displayed at such and such a point in time, and how long it was.

The contents of which these receptionists do not know.

And after the commendation ceremony, it is the real celebration, this part, there is no rehearsal, and there is nothing to rehearse, it is the carnival of the normal celebration, you can do whatever you want.

Generally, the normal celebration is composed of ceremonies, performances, and carnivals, the ceremonies are organized by the government, and the performances can be officially invited or spontaneously organized by the people, and the carnival is up and down together.

Of course, these three components of the celebration are not carried out in order, but are dominated by rituals, and performances and carnivals can be arranged randomly.

For example, the ascension ceremony in the Midsummer Festival is in the morning, there is a blessing ceremony at noon, and the sleep ceremony is in the evening.

Between the three ceremonies, it's time for performances and revelry.

And the reason why this New Year's celebration is considered by many people not to be a New Year's celebration is that in addition to the initial notice that it was a reward ceremony, another important reason is that there is no New Year-related ceremony.

This is very important, because if there is no ceremony, then the celebration becomes gratuitous and dispensable.

Obviously, the so-called New Year's celebration is a disguise, and the real purpose is to reward and commend it, at least on the surface.

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

And the reward and commendation, which also has a focus, this time is obviously to commend the pioneers.

The two ceremonies were arranged very closely, and there were no performances or carnivals interspersed in between, and they were arranged one after another.

Therefore, for Xia Duo, it can basically be understood that when the commendation ceremony is over, this so-called celebration is over.

……

It only took about an hour to rehearse, after all, it was a rehearsal, and the key was the details of the process, not the specific time.

It's always bad to waste the caster's time.

After the rehearsal, Xia Duo and Nia randomly found a temporary building, made tea, and went about their own business, Nia continued to study the research materials related to the background fluctuations of the magic net, while Xia Duo observed this half-plane.

At the same time, the two were chatting with each other.

"We've all gone through the process, what do you think will change at the Pioneer Recognition Ceremony?"

"This makes me guess, there will definitely be changes if I stay for a few more days, and I will know when the time comes, and it's useless to guess anyway."
