"It's a very painful thing to have no heart, and a lot of happiness in this world needs to be felt by the heart."

The old man flexed one of his right legs and changed to a more comfortable position.

"If you don't even drink, it's even less fun."

"After drinking better wines, it is natural that you will not want to drink them." Char said.

"Oh?" The old man turned his head and looked at Char with interest, "What wine have you drunk?" ”

Char also found a wine barrel to sit on, watching him.

"Dionysus, the wine made by Dionysus."

The old man was visibly stunned, but then he burst out laughing, and laughed very happily.

"Then you must be drunk."

"Not really, I don't drink much."

But the old man raised a finger and waved it, and said seriously, "The wine brewed by the god of wine is drunk, and the wine that is not drunk must not be brewed by the god of wine." ”

Char said with interest, "Is it so absolute? ”

"Do you know why Dionysus is still the god of drama?" The old man said.

"Why?" Char replied very cooperatively.

"Due to Hera's jealousy and persecution, Dionysus lived a wandering life. The days of escape and wandering, though painful, also brought him infinite pleasure, excitement, intoxication and madness.

And it was wine that brought him this. ”

He looked at the celebratory crowd around him and said happily, "Life is a tragedy, and the greatest tragedy is that it has no ultimate basis."

The birth and existence of human beings are meaningless, but life dares to bear its own meaninglessness and does not decline and decline, which is the pride of life!

Drunkenness, on the other hand, is such an experience, which looks directly at the pain, but finds joy in the pain, and obtains tragic intoxication.

Abandoning the shackles of tradition and returning to the primitive state, human beings gain great pleasure in the cry of despair and pain of disappearing the individual and becoming one with the world.

That's the joy of drinking! ”

The drunkenness on the old man's face became even stronger, "Dionysus would never make such a boring thing as drunk!" ”

Char was also looking at the celebratory people around him, he thought back to the scene when they were singing together just now, and he could now understand the meaning of the old man's words.

It is not pessimism because it celebrates life, nor is it optimism because it accepts suffering.

Much like Zhuangzi's getaway, forget everything, enjoy the pleasures of life, go inward, and pursue freedom and transcendence.

Although the old man did not say it explicitly, he also understood why the god of wine was also the god of drama.

This spirit can be summed up in one sentence: laugh at all tragedies.

"Go, go to the party!"

The old man grinned at the corners of his mouth and said with a red face, "Even if you are unintentional, you can enjoy the joy of the Dionysian sacrifice!" ”

Char felt a force push him into the crowd, and he didn't know when he had a large glass of wine in his hand.

Alicia was also in the crowd, her shoes had been taken off at some point, and she was barefoot on the wet earth, jumping excitedly, holding her wine glass high in her hand, and shouting loudly.

Arthur was entangled by several dancers dressed like mountain and forest girls, who grabbed Arthur's hand and led him around the campfire, and he seemed to have fun with it.

He silently raised the wine in his hand and took a sip, the rich aroma of the wine bloomed in his mouth, making people feel the urge to drink it all the time.

It was exactly the same wine that Sebas had brewed for his Bacchus before.

The identity of the old man seems to be about to be revealed.....

According to Sebastian, most of the gods have fallen asleep, but there are still some who are still alive, including the missing god of wine, Dionysus.....

Char took a few big sips, and soon noticed that it was different from the one he had drunk before, and that it had more stamina, which made him already a little dizzy.

But the spirit is extraordinarily pleasurable for some reason.

Alicia came to his side at some point and took his hand, her face was red and drunk, and she couldn't help but smile on the corner of her mouth.

The palace was a very oppressive place, where Alicia could not even express her emotions easily.

When this emotional bondage is released, it will become extraordinarily turbulent.

"Let's come along! Char! ”

She pulled Char into the crowd, cheering excitedly, bouncing on the spot with the crowd, screaming and screaming loudly.

Char was pulled by her and joined in the carnival, his eyes fixed on the cheerful jumping Alicia.

If it is said that the Alicia he saw for the first time was a kaolin flower, not approached by the living, and had the luxury of not eating the fireworks of the world.

And at this moment, she is like a red rose that has just bloomed, and she is as enthusiastic as fire.

As if sensing Char's gaze, Alicia also looked at Char and met Char's eyes.

Looking at his face, which was much more serene than the hysteria around her, a large amount of dopamine was released in her mind, shaking her sanity.

"Char!"

She excitedly shouted Char's name loudly.

"I love you!!"

Char raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc, but he didn't answer, he watched her quietly, looking through that layer of disguise at her deepest soul.

After a moment, he said with a hint of teasing.

"I can't hear what you're saying!"

Because the surroundings were so noisy, Char subconsciously raised his voice.

"I said..."

Alicia took a deep breath and shouted with all her might.

"I love you!!"

The crowd seemed to be quiet for a moment because of the sudden shouting, but it was brief.

Then came even louder cheers and screams.

"Oooo!!!oo

Alicia shouted excitedly, waving the wine in her hand.

Char just looked at her quietly, smiling lightly, with a hint of smile in her eyes as quiet as the night,

The revelry lasted until the sun rose the next day, but Char and the others went back earlier, because Alicia had fallen drunk on Char at one or two o'clock in the morning.

In the second half of the night, Char understood very clearly why this kind of festival was banned.

People vent their emotions without restraint, release all the shackles, and at the same time get joy, they will also release their inner desires and darkness.

The second half of the night is simply synonymous with chaos.

Of course, the people in the town are very experienced, so there are still some managers in the neighborhood who don't drink to maintain security.

Although the Dionysian spirit is very similar to the Getaway, it has a self-destructive desire, more indulgence and madness.

By the time Char rescued Arthur from the pile of dancing girls, he was already wearing lipstick marks all over his face in confusion.

Indeed, as Forster said, this is not the place for children.

Although drunkenness can indeed vent the emotions in their hearts, on the other hand, as long as they do not drink to the level of nerve paralysis, these drunken memories will actually remain in their minds.

Many people who don't remember anything after they are drunk just don't want to think about it, and sometimes, people have even very clear memories of when they were drunk.

Alicia, who woke up the next morning, proved it.....
