Chapter 328: Blooming Festival

Arka and the others rested in the flower forest, waiting for Jason and the others to return.

And didn't make them wait long.

The three Jasons walked in from the doorway.

"How?"

Hearing Alka's words, Jason smiled and nodded, "As you guessed, he wants us to wait a few more days on the island." ”

With that, Jason and the three of them each found a seat in the room.

Xia Dai asked, "What kind of conditions did they give?" ”

"We don't need to do anything, we just need to be in the city during the bloom festival and look around.

If nothing happens, pay us 500 gold sails. If something goes wrong, we need our help.

We will be paid according to our help. ”

Hearing such conditions, everyone nodded.

Very reasonable price.

It can even be said that the price is very generous.

"Okay, now that we've taken the commission, we'll stay here for a few more days. By the way, enjoy their big festival. ”

Arka stood up and said.

The crowd nodded.

Jason, however, pulled out a map.

"Here's the map layout of the city they gave."

Arka took it and looked at it, blinking by the way, there wasn't even a white dot on the map.

It's not that the map isn't up to standard, it's that the place is clean.

Place the map on the table for everyone to look at, mainly to see the topography of the city.

As well as some of the main facilities and routes patrolled by soldiers, as well as the deployment of defenses.

"Give us this map, it seems that they trust us." Simon said, looking at the map.

Hearing this, Jason glanced at him, then pointed to Alka's forehead.

Simon suddenly slapped himself and forgot about it.

After all, the flower fairies have been blessed personally.

Who does not trust him?

If you don't trust Arka, you don't trust the flower fairy. This is not possible for these believers.

"Did you ask for some detailed data?" Arka asked, turning to Jason.

Jason nodded: "She told us a lot of secret information. ”

After speaking, Jason leaned slightly on the table and pointed to the map to introduce it to everyone.

"The original permanent population of this city should be about 120,000. Because of the festival, the city now has about 160,000 people. That's a rough number.

A total of 500 soldiers were redeployed, all of whom were in the second phase, and less than 10 were in the third phase. They were a centurion and several squad leaders. ”

The island is not small, but it is very large because of the connection with the vines.

It can be said that it is more than enough to live in a population of more than 100,000 people, and it seems very relaxed.

But there are too few soldiers.

I only heard Jason continue: "Among the powerhouses on the island, four of the five flower knights are all in the third order. Among them, the strongest Gilina is in the fourth stage.

Here, when the festival opens, the Grand Gardener and some of the pastors of his church perform their ceremonies here.

The strength of the Great Gardener is in the seventh stage, and next to the priest there are two fourth-stage ones. That's all the known combat power on the island right now. ”

Hearing this, Xia Daiti was a little puzzled.

"With the strength of the Great Gardener alone, sitting here is enough to deter everyone. Why do we need our help? ”

There is no problem with this sentence, a great gardener whose strength has reached the seventh stage.

It can be said that he shelters this place, the place that shelters the spirits.

"Here's the problem, when the most important moment of the Bloom Festival begins. The Great Gardener would preside over the ceremony in that huge Celestial Flower, not to mention him, and even the two priests next to him would not be able to form a combat force.

This ritual is very important and is related to the revival of the flower fairy. ”

Hearing this, everyone instantly understood.

The most dangerous moment was when the ritual began, and their main purpose was to prevent the destruction of the enemy at that time.

"Even this kind of information has been told to us, that is, they think that the enemy is very likely to know this secret information?"

Jason nodded: "You have to know that once a year, and how many years have been, the attacks that have occurred at the Bloom Festival have been very many in recent years. ”

That is, the enemy has long been figured out.

Arka thought for a moment and asked, "How long will the ceremony last?" ”

"It's said to take about two hours."

After everyone understood the basic situation here.

Arka said directly: "Since you have already accepted the commission, then you have to do your best." ”

"This is the smallpox, and this is where the altar was built, and the distance between the two is less than 1 kilometer.

The altar is very dangerous here, because it is the most crowded place, and it must be very easy to get confused. ”

"So if the enemy really wants to wreak havoc, what is the demand?" Matresa asked, somewhat incomprehensible.

If it was a sabotage ceremony, it was obviously impossible.

Because the person who presides over the ceremony is a seven-stage.

They didn't know how powerful the existence of the Seven Stages could be, but some of them had seen the existence of the Seven Stages.

That was Lucilia, who was once alive.

The patriarch of their clan is a seventh-stage powerhouse.

To put it simply, it is the key to the prosperity of one party's forces, and the key to making one party's power endure.

In other words, it can also be ranked in the entire infinite sea.

Arka even suspected that he might have a crown-level treasure.

Of course, it's just pure suspicion.

"Maybe it's just a sabotage?" Juan Lu said next to him.

Basically, no one would be surprised that a cultist like this would do such a thing.

Even if there is no benefit, just simple chaos, destruction, and killing are enough for them.

There's really nothing wrong with thinking about it that way.

"Okay, don't think about that." Arka began to discuss with the crowd as he spoke, and it would be better for them to wait in groups scattered around.

Arka believes that the reason why these people will let them stay is not because of how strong they are.

Because even if it is said to be broken, none of the strength of their group has exceeded the fourth stage.

After all, there is a limit to what can be used.

But there is one point that cannot be overlooked.

That's the growth of the puppet army.

Arka and the others, although they are all in the third stage, they can be regarded as strong in the same stage.

And Arka himself was able to play extraordinarily.

But the most noticeable thing is the puppet army, more than seventy three-stage existences.

Even if it's small, it's not there.

Just these dozens of third-stage players raised the force they possessed in an instant.

Since they want to help others and accept the commission, they naturally have to think carefully and let the puppet army play their due role and strength.

They have to be properly distributed.

……

Two days of hard work passed quickly.

The curtain of the sky had just been ripped off.

Outside, there was a commotion, and the sound was full of joy and festivity.

Arka: They are making final preparations in the midst of the flowers.

Although today is the Bloom Festival, they are not in a hurry now.

Because the ceremony has not yet begun, the great gardener and the priests around him are still working on the arrangement of the ceremony, and they have not yet been busy.

If the enemy doesn't attack with eyes at this time, then it's none of their business at all.

It's better that they still wish someone could wreak havoc at this time, and it's better to come right now.

Then they almost didn't do anything, and they had other people's big festivals.

After learning more information, he even took 500 gold for nothing.

It simply doesn't get any better than that.

But apparently the enemy is not so stupid.

Gilena entrusted them with such important information, and it was clear that an enemy attack was almost inevitable.

Arka and the others were making the final preparations, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Lucilia stood on the table.

Below her are the Knights of the Dolls, lined up in a neat line of 6.

Each team had two squads of 5 people, and each team had two people removed, except for the flying group, which did not have wings.

Both teams are led by a captain.

The flying team led by Jiu will form a separate team, ready to support at any time.

They even carry a team flag, and the background color is also a compass on the island. It's just that the pupils have turned into puppets with long hair, holding staff and blades in their hands.

This is their knight team flag.

It can be said that it looks good.

In addition to the queue composed of these 6 rows.

Behind Lucilia, there is a separate attack team modeled after everyone.

They are the second modeled on Chardaiti, the third modeled on Julia, the one based on Martlisha, and the one based on Arka.

And finally the last member of the puppet girl.,Made after the crystal dragon Urulius.,The dragon man forms a member crystal.。

After she was crafted, she continued to learn and understand the dragon's power by Ulullius' side. At the same time, he is also responsible for comforting and taking care of her.

Lucilia was heard to say, "Sisters, this is the first time that all members of the group have acted together, and this time we will play the most role.

Fight the first battle of our puppet knights, this time we must show all our strength and play our majesty well! ”

"Rush!"

"The Puppet Knights are invincible!"

"Hooray!"

In the face of Lucilia's speech, there are all kinds of confused responses below.

It doesn't look like an elite regular army, and it certainly doesn't look like a rogue army of gangsters.

Because these puppet girls look silly.

"Is that really okay?" Matresa couldn't help but ask, looking at the group of puppet girls.

It's too worrying to look at like this.

After all, you may not really meet an enemy who comes to make trouble, and if you are so bloody, it will be embarrassing if you don't have an enemy at that time.

"Forget it, let them go." Arka said with a smile.

After all, this is really the first battle of the puppet girls.

In the past, various battles were usually Arka in action, and the puppet girls generally only had one team, and at most two teams were on the side.

It's hard to get the most out of it.

Thinking of this, Arka looked at Simon: "Are you ready?" ”

Simon nodded, gesticulating with his metal hand that was okay.

"Don't worry, it's foolproof, the whole city will definitely be within range by then."

Hearing this, Arka didn't say any more, and took the two puppet girls from the table next to him.

The two puppet girls were handed to Simon.

"These two are going to be handed over to you, but you have to protect them."

"Don't worry, Captain, I will protect her and my own." As the deputy head of the regiment, Zero lifted the hem of his skirt and said politely.

These two girls are the deputy head of the regiment Zero, and the center of the entire puppet girl.

Arka smiled and nodded.

Simon also took the two girls and let them stay on his shoulders.

Picking up the performance in a daze, leaning on Simon's shoulder, it looked like he wanted to sleep.

Simon had no choice but to take her down and place her on a floating structure platform next to her, allowing her to rest well.

Zero also came down to take care of her.

"Alright, let's get out."

The crowd nodded.

Then the girls were divided into simple groups of 11 and left the flower forest to go to the area they had already fixed.

Lucilia, as their leader, left with them.

In order for Lucilia to show off her full strength, she must be kept with the puppet girls.

After walking out of the flower forest, Simon also left in a different direction with Arka and the others.

"It's so hilarious!" Xia Daiti looked at both sides of the street and couldn't help but say.

A faint floral scent lingers around.

Residents and tourists come and go dressed in local costumes and embroidered with a variety of beautiful flowers.

Various decorations made of flowers hang on both sides of the street.

"Does that mean anything?"

Matresa watched as everyone here put a flower on their head, in their ear, or on their chest, and around their waist.

Everyone's put it differently.

They hadn't seen it before.

Arka looked at this scene and said, "Maybe it's some kind of meaning, such as the different places to put it, and the meaning of flowers." ”

Not far away is a stall with a variety of flowers.

The roots of the flowers also have some kind of special soft balls, which seem to supply nutrients to the flowers.

All the roots of the flowers of those who are used for decoration have such soft ball decorations.

"Let's go over and see." Arka said as he walked over with a few people.

Before the ceremony begins, they can enjoy the festival of the Blooming Festival.

Ask the boss in front of the stall.

"You are strangers, such an important festival is really rare." The boss said with a smile.

Then he began to tell a few people: "Every flower has its different meaning, put it in various places on your body, and match the meaning of the flower, which is your hope for a better future." ”

Hearing this, the three girls in the team immediately became interested.

The people of Arka were also listening curiously on the side, looking at the stall densely packed with all kinds of unknown flowers.

Matresa picked up two lilac flowers, which looked like trumpets.

Handed one of the flowers to Bororo.

"Here's this for you, you put it on your chest."

As he spoke, he placed his flower on the chest of his flower costume.

Matrice's outfit is composed of a pale purple and gray floral color.

"Oh, okay, can you put it here?"

Although Poloro is a shark-fishman, he is not unclothed.

He wore a light blue short-sleeved waistcoat with an open chest, with bright silver patterns on it, like lightning.

The bottom body is the matching shorts.

Matresa looked at Polo and shook her head, "No, I'll put it for you." ”

As he spoke, the snake's tail curled slightly, lifted it, and slashed twice on Poloro's chest, straightening the flowers.

"Well, it looks a lot better that way."

Xia Daiti directly put a light pink flower with a little red on Alka's chest.

He also carried the same flowers on his chest.

Alka, of course, will not refuse this.

Julia looked at the flowers in her hands, which were ocean-blue, and each flower on it was disordered.

Even swaying slightly.

He slowly placed the flower next to his ear.

Watch the behavior of the crowd.

Jason turned to look at Juanlu.

Feeling Jason's gaze, Juan Lu saw the flower in Jason's hand again.

"Huh! You come less, go aside. After speaking, Juan Lu casually picked up a pink and white flower and put it on his chest.

"I really don't understand the mood." Jason said, picking up two identical flowers at random, and the crystal in his hand spread upward, wrapping it into a crystal-like flower.

Directly on his chest.

"It's good to keep this one for Urullius." As he spoke, the one disappeared into his palm.

And so it was with the people.

The flowers were decorated and blended into the festive atmosphere.

Just like a real tourist, enjoy the bloom festival.
