Chapter 42: Celebration and Moonlight
Spark Town?
With the foreshadowing of the previous green bricks and tiles, Su Mo subconsciously thought of a sentence:
A spark can start a prairie fire......
After a regular welcome, the guard's voice rang out again.
"The two guests came just in time for a festival in town tonight." He said, "Your Excellency is welcome to the celebration and I wish you a happy holiday." ”
With that, the guard amicably gave way to a passage without the slightest hint of obstruction.
Tonight is a festive celebration......
What a coincidence.
The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched.
But even if you know that you are tired, you have to bite the bullet, and when you are a turtle with a shrunken head at this critical moment, you are just an ostrich that buries its head in the sand - self-deception.
And when Summer and Nornes officially stepped into Spark Town, he suddenly felt his face sink as if something was hanging on him.
Su Mo immediately glanced at Nornes, and the two of them saw the masks on each other's faces.
The corners of Noens' mask were upturned with a strange sense of satisfaction, but at the same time his brow was furrowed, and his red eyes seemed to be full of hatred for himself.
Su Mo couldn't see the appearance of his mask at this time from the reflection of his pupils for a while, and Nornes was obviously the same, and the movements of the two of them froze at the same time, and they couldn't bear to take off the mask on their faces immediately.
No wonder the streets are filled with such strange masks......
Su Mo suddenly tried to divert some attention from the mask.
At this time, the dusk has passed, the sky is getting dark, and the antiquity of splashing ink and green daisy is combined with the bustling and temporary market town.
The vendors selling their goods on the street put away their shouting, tidied up their stalls, and prepared to leave;
The guy who went to work in another shop looked anxiously at the sky, praying that he would return home soon;
Pedestrians coming and going, flowing carriages, crisp children's voices, neighing horses......
If you don't look at the clay masks that are brushed together, even the children who are just knee-high wear a cheerful smiling mask on their faces......
If you don't look at the general scene of the great fusion of races, although most of the people on the street are humans, you can also see a lot of blood clans and elves, but giants are relatively rare......
If you don't look at these, this scene in front of you can be said to be a standard picture of the combination of secular style and Chinese and Western.
Summer and Noanes wander the alleys.
He watched the scenes, observed the people, listened to the familiar conversations in his ears......
Although the accent is slightly strange, as if it is a mixture of many dialects, judging from the pronunciation of that single word, there is no doubt that the language spoken by the residents of Spark Town is ...... Chinese!
The four joys of life, the most like to meet old acquaintances in other places.
It's a pity that the state of this fellow seems to be worse than that of the self-imprisoned Russell in the original book, not only suspected of being out of control, but also ......
Most of them have already been pickled......
As the moon rises and sets, and night falls, Summer and Nornes appear at the festival celebration in Spark Town.
The festival was held in an open public space, dozens of bonfires were lit in the square, and the residents of Spark Town weaved garlands around their necks with bright flowers and soft branches, dressed in the finest clothes, brought the best wine, and sat around the burning fire.
The bright and transparent moonlight dispelled the dark night, and gently sprinkled on the dazzling flames, as if it were daylight for a while.
Bonfires grew stronger, the sound of pianos accompanied by the beat of drums, the lively songs accompanied by enthusiastic dancing, and the moon and starry sky reflected on the singing and laughing townspeople.
They sang together:
"Dancing to the beat of the drums,
"Behind the world,
"We're going to drink and toast,
"Close your eyes and lose yourself,
"Let the spark light the light......"
The mask has long been taken off and set aside, the pent-up sadness is gone, and the joy and laughter bring vitality.
More and more people are joining the chorus, singing and dancing:
"Lift up your hats and glasses,
"We're going to dance all night,
"We're going back to the old days,
"Under this silvery moon."
They clapped enthusiastically, said "hey" in a neat voice, and sang in unison:
"Lift up your hats and glasses,
"We're going to dance all night,
"We're going back to the old days,
"Under this silvery moon......
Summer and Nornes sat in the corner, not joining the, and no one cared that they weren't joining the.
"What the hell are they singing?"
Nornes, who had been in a language barrier since entering the town, finally couldn't help but ask.
The inhabitants of Starfire seem to use the lingua franca of the Bloodline that they are not very proficient in only outside the town, and once they arrive in the town, whether the "Excellency" can understand it or not, the exit is the mysterious language that gives Nornes a headache.
Of course, the reason why Nornes has a headache is also because he tried to decipher and translate the language on his own in the process, and then unsurprisingly failed, which is obviously a complete set of language and script......
Su Mo lowered his voice and said, "They are reminiscing about the past and admiring the silver-white moonlight. ”
Nornes knew that he could understand this language, and Su Mo didn't hide it, but he was already numb, and he didn't bother to ask Su why he understood.
Nornes just looked up, looked at the bright and cold figure of the bright moon in the sky, and sighed helplessly: "What kind of place is this......"
The rest is forgotten, but the red moon inexplicably turned into a silver moon, which can be said to have completely subverted his cognition for Nornes, who is the ancestor of devout faith.
"Leave this alone." Su Mo whispered, "You use the Tranquility Glove first to see if you can fall asleep now." ”
The Gloves of Serenity – an extraordinary item for the Nornes.
The appearance is a pair of gloves as thin as cicada's wings, and according to Nouns, it is supposed to be an extraordinary item of mixed pathways, with characteristics derived from the Sequence 5 Dream Walker of the Spectator Pathway, and the Sequence 6 Facelings of the Fortune Teller Pathway.
The ability of the Tranquility Gauntlet, in addition to pulling the target into the dream to view memory fragments and changing the physical appearance of the bearer in the "race" memories, can also be used to spy on other people's dreams and perform subconscious hypnosis.
The side effect is that overuse can easily cause the holder to forget himself, gradually transform into another person in the dream, and then affect reality, so that the image of the holder also changes in reality.
However, Nornes is now the "witch king" of Sequence 4, and the suppression of the person makes the side effects less obvious.
Nornes used the Gloves of Tranquility to fall asleep at the celebration, a plan they had already negotiated.
It stands to reason that all the inhabitants of Starfire Town had gathered at this festival celebration, and Sumo even saw the numb and faded Prute and Laval, showing a real and vivid smile, not the weird sneer that had been.
Everyone is awake, no one is dreaming, and there is a half probability that the Nornes will not return, and half the probability of succeeding in the dream.
Enter the ......
The master of this space, His dreams.
