Chapter Seventy-Six: The Festival

On Aquinas Street, a two-story ceremonial boat made of wood, cardboard, and ribbons was set down with four pairs of wheels, dragged forward by four slicky horses.

This is an imitation of the "Governor of the Sea" riding on a boat, mainly because the material requirements were lowered and the size was reduced so that the horses could pull and cruise around the city.

At this time, eight men and eight women on each of the upper and lower floors of the boat are standing, brightly dressed, singing and dancing, spreading joy to the people on both sides of the street.

The best folk orchestras in Santa Harbour are clustered around the boats, playing a single drum, playing rhythmically, clarinets, oboees, flutes and a wide variety of stringed instruments.

The people on the side of the road were happy, sometimes singing, sometimes following the boat, hoping to find an opportunity to drench a little of the water that had been sprinkled between the sixteen men and women.

Lumian looked down at the scene from the fifth floor of the Solo Inn, and felt that the prayer for the sea ceremony was no longer a pure sacrifice in Santa Harbor, but a folk festival celebrated by the whole city, minus the core part.

Many of the residents of Santa Harbour are devout devotees of Mother Earth and do not believe that the sea has spirits that can protect them, but that does not prevent them from singing, dancing, drinking, and celebrating on such days.

When the boat was finished parading through Aquinas Street, Lumian turned back to Lugano and said, "You take care of Ludwig today, and you have to take him with you no matter what celebration you attend."

"Yes, boss." Lugano was infected by the cheerful and lively atmosphere of the prayer ceremony, and his emotions were quite high.

Lumian said no more, grabbed his golden straw hat, walked out of the suite, and went down the stairs.

Arriving in the lobby, he saw Otta, the owner of Solo's Inn. Guillaume was cashing cash to the front desk lady and two waiters, two miles each.

"And holiday pay?" Lumian asked Old Ota in Intij.

Old Otaha laughed and said: "This is compensation for them, they have to stay in the hotel today, watch here, can't go to watch the rest of the sea prayer ceremony, can't participate in the various celebrations."

"And I'm going to the docks, waiting to see my little cabbage dance!"

"I'll go too." Lumian replied with a smile, once again feeling the festive spirit very truly.

If there was no occult element to the prayer ceremony, he would have liked to soak up the atmosphere, as he had done in the years before he participated in the village of Cordu.

Leaving the hotel, Lumien strolled towards the harbor and found that the citizens of Santa Port were wearing their most colorful and festive clothes, and at first glance the streets seemed to be flooded with a sea of colors.

This makes his white shirt, black waistcoat, and dark trousers look out of place in the environment, and he looks like a foreigner man.

Lumian put the golden straw hat on his head to add a little color to himself.

Ringing bells, bicycles carrying wooden crates pass by, and vendors sell different flavors of popsicles to citizens waiting to watch the sea dance and boat races.

Lumian watched both sessions in a leisurely manner of enjoying the festival, and waited until the two-story ceremonial boat of the 'Governor of the Sea' and the 'Handmaiden of the Sea' sailed towards the village of Milo before leaving the port.

Instead of participating in other celebrations organized by the citizens themselves, he found a public bathroom in the nearest department store and entered the cubicle.

Then, he activated the black mark on his right shoulder, which appeared directly in a remote corner of Milo Village.

He then turned into a shadow creature and infiltrated the ancient and modern buildings of the Oro family, and came to Juan. Oro's bedroom.

The leader of the Fishermen's Guild had been waiting here for a while.

See the great adventurer Louie. Berry's figure grows out of the darkness, and Juan is wrinkled. Oro pointed to the two Milo villagers who were unconscious on the floor and said, "This is the second of the four assistant priests who participated in the vigil and the sea festival, you choose one to become him."

This is Lumián and Juan. One of the terms of cooperation negotiated by Oro is that he will participate in the core part of the sea prayer ceremony.

Originally, Juan. Oro didn't agree, because he couldn't hide it from the other sea clans, and got a stranger on the ship, he only promised to let Lumian sneak into the mansion of the "Governor of the Sea" before the vigil and watch the corresponding part in secret.

After discovering that "Salted Egg Superman" is suspected to be the core figure of the Fisheries Guild, Lumian took advantage of Juan. Uroro needed the opportunity to cooperate and help, and demonstrated the ability of the "Lies" ear clip, so he had a plan to disguise himself as a deputy assistant to board the ship.

Lumien scrutinized one of the assistant priests for a few seconds, putting on a silver-white ear clip to imitate his appearance and modify his appearance.

It didn't take long for him to see no difference between him and the deputy priest except for his clothes.

"It's my turn." Juan. Urro said in a deep voice in Intis.

He wants to become another assistant priest and personally get on the boat to prevent accidents.

The reason he did this was that he was not at ease with Louis. Berry participates in the sea festival, but also has to guard against the enemy lurking in the shadows to cause damage in unknown ways, and no matter which method, the final foothold will be in the sea festival, he quietly got on the boat, can deal with the accident in time, and give those guys a "surprise".

- Juan. Oro was afraid of Louis. Berry was actually an accomplice of those saboteurs last year, and the previous actions were just to deceive himself and others in order to get on the boat "above board" and wait for the critical moment to disrupt the ceremony.

Lumian threw the "Lies" ear clip to Juan. Oro didn't care at all to change into the other party's clothes prepared in advance, which were dark blue robes embroidered with many marine elements.

Juan. As soon as Oro put on the silver-white ear clips, he felt that he had a wonderful control over every detail of his body.

He tried to adjust the wrinkles on his face, and immediately saw that he was ten or twenty years younger in the mirror.

Although he has powerful and diverse extraordinary abilities, the president of the Fisheries Guild can't help but sigh secretly: "It's amazing."

Wait until Juan. Oro also finished his disguise, and Lumian pointed to the two unconscious assistant priests: "Who is responsible for watching over them and not allowing them to appear before the sea prayer ceremony?"

"My wife." Juan. Oro was ready.

That's the former "maid of the sea", the current grandmother of the Oro family, who has not been weak, but has not participated in the ring-making ceremony and other links, and is not one who may leak secrets, and belongs to the object of trust.

Lumian turned to ask, "As the president of the Fisheries Guild, will you be suspicious if you don't wait for the news of the success of the sea prayer ceremony with the other committee members?"

"No, I don't go every year, I can also wait for news at home, and my wife will be disguised as me." Juan. Oro pointed to the "lie" in his left ear and removed it.

Lumian confirmed the details and said, "Have you investigated any of those people who almost died and came back to life, or have their personalities changed significantly?"

Those people refer to the core members of the Fishermen's Guild who have the specific appearance of the "Ring of the Queen of the Sea" and the full details of the sea prayer ceremony.

According to Franca's prompt, each member of the "Curly Baboon Research Society" is a soul from another world, who occupies the human corpse that has just died and "resurrected", from which it can be found out who is suspected of being a "salted egg superman".

Juan. Ao Luo slowly shook his head: "No, at least not in my impression, hey, the time is too rushed, I can't investigate one by one."

The old man, who looked like a man in the prime of life, continued: "Remember, your name is Brian now, I'm Jorge, and if you don't understand what others are saying, it doesn't matter, I'll prompt you, and I'll help you when you need to answer questions."

"Okay." Lumian still looks like he doesn't know much Altitude dialect.

In fact, he has mastered more words and grammar under the spell of "proficient language", and although he still can't hear other people's words completely, he can very well capture the corresponding key words and tenses, subject dynamics and other information, and guess the general meaning very closely, and when expressing, short sentences with simple structures are not a problem.

Dressed in the dark blue robes of the vice-aco-priest, Lumian was in Juan. Oro, an old man who no longer faltered, led him into the mansion of the "Governor of the Sea", and passed through the hall carved with many statues of sea creatures to the room where the "Governor of the Sea" kept vigil.

The current "Governor of the Sea" is from the Giaro family, named Simon, and is a member of a thin-blooded clan that is not even eligible to live in the ancestral house.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged on the cold floor, holding back his excitement, his eyes half-closed, feeling the erosion of the humid air around him.

Although Lumian did not have spiritual vision, he could still find that in the shadows, in the void, and on the statues, there were different sea clans busy.

Juan. Urro took him out of this room, came to the most remote part of the building, pushed open the wooden door of the servant's room, and said to Miguel, the fake "Governor of the Sea" lying on the bed: "When the prayer for the sea is successful, you can go, but you must leave Santa Port and take with you the wealth you have saved this year."

Miguel sat up excitedly: "Okay, okay!"

They spoke in the highland language, but Lumian understood the meaning in general.

When you're done, Juan. Oro translated the conversation to Lumien and said to him, "You can verify from Miguel's expression that I'm not lying."

What if you don't lie, what you say may not be done....... Lumian muttered silently, returned to the hall, and sat cross-legged opposite the other two assistant priests.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the middle of the night, the "Ring of the Queen of the Sea" was completed, and one of the assistant priests went in to take it out, and carried it to the basement in the dark environment of the moonlight.

This is followed by a part of paying homage to the ancestors.

Lumi watched this scene quietly, and suddenly his heart moved.
