Chapter 5 - Harvest Festival (Part 1)
On the twenty-fifth of September, seven hundred and forty-seven, the day is a harvest festival.
The Kingdom of Esk, the town of Rica.
Pedestrians on the road are all laughing, children are chasing and playing, and the harvest festival is not only one of the four major festivals prescribed by the Holy Goddess of Agriculture, but also the majority of humans, even many races, beyond religion and country. One of **** festivals.
After all, for most intelligent life, a bumper harvest means abundance of food and hope.
For many children, everything in front of them makes them extremely excited. This is a rare day of rest during the year. No matter how busy people are, after working in the morning, they will also have a half-day rest in the afternoon and participate in the celebration. .
Early the next morning, Romon, who was awakened by the playful sound below, also got up, put on his clothes, and went downstairs. The hotel was quiet, and there were few people
Romon walked out and looked at it. Most of the houses were wooden houses, a little further away, the largest building in town, and a stone temple.
For Romon, this temple does not seem strange, that is the temple of the goddess of agriculture, of course, this is the only faith center called Rika town, a town, can not afford to raise several temples.
Looked on the street. Although the voice was noisy, it was still very quiet. After all, in this town, there were only a few hundred families.
Various houses are crowded on the narrow street, which is covered with gravel and grass grows in the gaps.
The hills in the distance, the spire of the castle on the hills, that is the old castle of Lord Rocas, here, has a history of 400 years.
Although it was the end of September, but at a glance, the whole town was full of greenery and towering ancient trees everywhere. The canopy of the sky covered the low houses nearby.
For centuries, even thousands of years, the taste of simplicity and tranquility has not changed, but it is more obvious under the frolic of the harvest festival.
I stayed for another moment, maybe it was the influence of Romon ’s memory before, all of which brought a familiar feeling. This familiar feeling diluted the fear and strangeness. Romon, after a moment of silence, finally showed a bitter smile and completely accepted it. The fact of crossing
Romon walked slowly along the cobbled small street. The familiar and strange blacksmith shops, grocery stores, artisan shops and mills on both sides deeply attracted the new Romon.
In the distance, there is a huge car, that is the touring car of the troupe.
The troupes are all a group of poor people, they perform tricks, singing and dancing, clowns, to entertain the masses, and get meager money, and this kind of troupe, the girls inside, are all selling, according to the analysis of sporadic memory around the surroundings, Luo Meng It is clear that this situation is very common.
Not to mention the troupe, that is, the general mercenary troupe. Those young female soldiers are selling their bodies. They must earn a sum of money before the physical decline, otherwise they will be sad in the future.
Luo Meng glanced at the sun, and now it is too early to officially start the harvest festival.
Unconsciously, he came to the Temple of Agricultural Goddess and looked at the stone temple. The colorful colors represent ancient traces, the joy of rebirth came up, and there was some melancholy.
Walked into the shrine, and on the high platform, there was a **** statue. This is the goddess of agriculture, Yi Xidis.
The walls are carved with reliefs of bulls, trees, flowers and grass. The goddess statues are all carved from white marble. About five meters high, she wears a crown of flowers and grass on her head and a green dress, but looks beautiful and female. The curves are faintly visible, very feminine, but the eyes are very expressive, with the love of looking down on sentient beings.
The former Luo Meng came to pray here habitually. This is the rule of the town. Basically, children who are 12 years old or older will pray with their parents.
In the past, Luo Meng would not have noticed that the holy light that was hidden from the naked eye was usually hidden on the idol, but now, by the power of Shennongjiao, in Luo Meng’s eyes, it was a green light like a giant cocoon , Enveloped in the idol, flowing, and from time to time a green light like fireflies flew in the temple.
Just as Luo Meng stood in front of the statue, a girl walked slowly to his side: “Romon, how did you come here? You usually have fun playing outside?”
Romon was awakened by the call, and he turned to look at the girl.
This young girl, about fifteen years old, is coming out of the temple. She has a priest’s robe with a relatively high opening, revealing her long and snowy thighs. She wears a green flower knot and ties her delicate and slim waist. Her beautiful eyes are clear. bottom.
“Miss Ellinie …” Luo Meng naturally shouted the girl’s name, and quickly remembered that he knew that the girl was the object of men secretly dreaming in town.
She is the glory of the town, she has piety and keen perception, and can be connected with the power of the goddess, so she has become a trainee priest of the town ’s agricultural goddess temple-if there is no accident, the next town temple priest, Maybe she will serve.
“Romon, why are you still dirty Sici? Come, come to me to wipe your face, so that I can go to the afternoon harvest festival.” Alini saw his dirty face and clothes falling on the ground, said, Pulling him into the back of the temple, it was a pool of clear water.
This is one of the welfare of the temple. The channel that penetrates from the outer realm that Romon can’t understand now makes the temple always have clear and delicious spring water available.
Romon took the towel, got the spring water, and soon washed his face clean. Looking at the finished Romon, Alini didn’t know why, and suddenly, her face flushed.
The boy in front of him is still familiar with this, and nothing has changed. Although it is expected that he will be a handsome man in the future, but before, Alina did n’t feel it at all, but now, a kind of heroic spirit between eyebrows suddenly makes this The little boy took off a lot of childishness and added some indescribable charm.
“Sister Elina, thank you, I pray to the goddess, I hope you are healthy.” Romon said.
“Ah, thank you, Romon, we are ready to go, and you will go with us!” Said Alini. Her eyes had already seen Pastor Tenis. Pastor Turnis came and saw Romon and Eleanor’s face sank with her together.
“Ellie, let’s go!” He said
“Okay, wait a minute, come on, Romon, go with me!” Eleanor said.
A bit of malicious sting came up, and Romon frowned slightly. After becoming a druid, he was very keen on this, but there was no way to follow.
Just arrived in the square, a young man wearing a tall black top hat ran onto the stage: “Ladies and gentlemen, let you wait for a long time. Below, the Cado performance group will bring you a wonderful performance, With you through a happy and happy afternoon, please applaud and welcome! “
A woman wearing a black tight-fitting leather outfit with a leather whip came out of the car.
A big parrot flew behind her, clamoring constantly: “Welcome, welcome!”
And almost at the same time, a tiger followed, and a monkey stood on the tiger.
Watched them come out, all the people present applauded, looked at the black woman, directed the tiger through the iron ring, and let the monkey roll on the ground.
These tricks made the people present laugh suddenly, but for Romon, these were boring tricks, but he continued to observe.
The young man, wearing a tall black bowler hat, waved a small wooden stick in his hand, and as he waved, sparks rose from the tip of the wooden stick and flew into the air, “bang” A blast exploded, forming a variety of fireworks.
These fireworks turned into flowers, into flying golden snakes, into the reproduction of trees … These beautiful fireworks suddenly attracted Romon’s eyes.
Is this magic? Even the lowest-level trick?
After the performance, there was not much time, and there was a priest from the town on a wooden platform in the square. And around, the crowd automatically gathered on the wooden platform, and the praise to the goddess officially began.
“Goddess Essex, growth and harvest are both part of the eternal cycle. It is the most natural part that can be done after the existence of intelligent life. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Today we can get a bumper harvest, we want to thank God Thank the earth, thank nature, and then, in the spring of next year, we will plant more seeds of life to fill the world with green. “This is Pastor Tenis preaching.
“Thank the goddess for giving us food, and thank the goddess for giving us abundance.” The neat voice echoed around the high platform, and seven or eight hundred townsmen shouted neatly.
The harvest festival in this town will not have miracles, and the hymn of the goddess is also very simple. There is not much time, the ceremony is over, the following is the carnival, that is the time of beer and barbecue.
“Sister Elina, I have something to do with you tomorrow, are you there?” Taking advantage of the gap, Luo Meng stepped forward and said.
“What’s the matter?” Alini turned back. Of course, there was no bra in this world, and the priest’s robe had a big opening. This turn turned Romon seeing a white snow
Stunning, this is Romon’s mood for a moment.
Although this body has been in contact with her many times in the past, it still has a thrilling beauty when viewed, and it can’t help but show a “stunning” feeling-the sun is projecting on her, and she is covered with a light green Light, with a strange light fragrance.
A kind of trembling quickly spread. In a flash, Luo Meng lost his mind, but in a blink of an eye, the kind of look behind him made him calm down: “Sister Ellini, I want to ask you to witness something tomorrow. “
Elene was a little surprised: “What’s the matter? Oh, it’s busy now, I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow!”
Romon looked at the boiling crowd around him, nodded, then left, and walked for a moment. When he turned around, he happened to see the look of Pastor Turnis—the look was cold.
