Lord Helanza

Harvest Festival

As the largest festival in the Grimm Empire, almost all the people of the Empire will celebrate on this day.

In contrast, the Grimm Empire’s magical awakening ceremony and adult rites cannot reach such a scale. The former is only valued in large cities with primary level magic Academy. The latter is not accepted by the poor. The adult rites of the poor do not have any special ceremony. At most, young girls of the right age put on a new set of clothes and hold a meaningless outing.

The day before the Harvest Festival, the scattered villagers of Woerun have returned to Woor Village one after another.

Especially the craftsmen that Charlie brought back from Carr’s Manor. The carriage was full of gifts purchased from Helanza. The motorcade stopped at the entrance of the village. A group of children in the village yelled. Surrounded by them, the villagers on the carriage immediately took out the prepared candies and distributed them to the little children. There was a burst of happy laughter and cheerful voices from the crowd.

The women followed, watching their respective men and sons jump off the carriage, first looked carefully to see if there were any changes, and then happily surrounded them and returned home.

After the small townhouses were built in Wall Village, many villagers who have been working outside for a long time did not even know where their houses were allocated.

Charlie said to Surdak: The main body of Carl’s villa has been built. At present, only the triangular wooden bracket roof is missing. The wood has been transported to Carl’s Manor. Now the carpenters are hurrying to make it, just waiting It can be installed on the roof after the festival.

Not long after, Luke from the Lava River Sulfur Mine rushed back to Wall Village with four hundred kobold miners. At the same time, he came back with them and brought them back with twenty four-wheel carriages. Sulfur ore, these four hundred kobold slaves had a good time at the mine, and each kobold's coat color was very shiny.

These kobolds are very adaptable to the living environment near the volcano. They are neither affected by the ash of the Heavenly Fire Mountain, nor are they afraid of the lava river.

Luke guarded the sulfur mine for nearly two months this time. When he came back, he looked full beard, and his leather armor was worn out in tatters. He was left unattended for a long time. It looks like middle-aged uncle.

The conditions of the sulfur mine are still too difficult. Surdak is looking for a few trusted young villagers in Wall Village to train them so that they can share the burden of Luke and Charlie. Lee and Luke are guarding the sulfur mine in shifts. Now Charlie is sent out to build a house, and no one can exchange Luke back for a while.

Surdak strode up, no matter how dirty Luke was covered with volcanic ash, he gave Luke a big hug.

In addition to Charlie and Luke, there are not many youngsters in the village that Surdak can name.

Helanza carriage took ten four-wheeled carriages and arrived at Wall Village. The carriage husband opened the box of the cargo box. Some fat pigs and yellow goats jumped out of the carriage in a scramble. This time Surdak added another supplement I bought some yellow goats and bought two big fat pigs and ten black-and-white cows. These animals were driven off the cart and immediately made the village entrance a mess.

The ten four-wheel carriages in the carriage are dedicated to transporting sulfur ore to Constantinople. They will transport the sulphur ore to Helanza today. After the harvest festival, there will be four rounds of carriage. , To send the first batch of sulfur mines to Constantinople.

Now Surdak Baron has become a major customer in the carriage business. There are fixed steel products shipped to Wall Village every month, and of course there are other supplies.

The kobolds moved the sulfur mine to the carriage line for ten four-wheel carriages. After the carriage manager and Surdak signed an agreement, the ten carriage four-wheel carriages slowly drove out of the wall. village.

Next, everyone began to prepare for the harvest festival. Gullitum, who came back from the Beigou pasture, felt that pigs of this fatness must be hung in the oven and roasted. The oily, crispy skin and rotten meat makes it enjoyable to eat. However, this proposal was rejected by Surdak. Making barbecue is too wasteful of meat, especially this fatty pork. Of course, it has to be made into buttoned pork, Red Braised Pork and crystal elbow. of.

For the cooking methods of these dishes, he has taught Rita and Natasha the general methods, and he has also tried the dishes in the morning.

Facts have proved that Natasha did a good job of Red Braised Pork...

Mr. Bright also specially prepared two barrels of ale this time. During the harvest festival in previous years, Wo The villagers in Er Village can only drink a bowl of lamb soup with meat and a large piece of toasted wheat cakes. Everyone didn’t expect that after a year, everyone can not only eat meat at the harvest festival, but also drink it. Ale.

The harvest festival celebration starts in the morning.

In the early morning, the central square of the village is like a large slaughterhouse. In addition to slaughtering some pig samples, the hunters in the village also brought back a dozen limestone iguanas from the depths of Desolate Land. Butchers Throwing the meat with bones into a large pot of boiling water to boil the broth, the villagers don’t need to eat at home in the morning, holding a bowl of boiled fragrant offal soup, and picking up a large sheet of toasted oatmeal. Take a bite of the broth, take a bite of granola, and your whole body will become warm immediately.

The formal banquet started in the afternoon. Every year, the mayor of Bright would stand up and dedicate the fullest ear of wheat in the wheat field to the harvest Goddess, praying that the weather will be smooth next year, and the dry season will not be like this year. It was a long time, and the whole blessing process was filled with a sense of ceremony, and the villagers followed the old village chief meticulously with their hands on their chests and folded their hands in front of them to make a prayer.

Surdak is standing beside Selena and Signa, the three are behind the crowd. Selena and Signa, who believe in the dark Goddess, certainly do not pray to the harvest Goddess, and Surdak did not pray. As the villagers were praying, Surdak whispered to Selena: "Did you develop those kobolds as believers?"

Selena saw Surdak, slightly nodded.

Selena is tall and conspicuous at the back. She asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Surdak shook the head said: "Nothing, just don't I can meet all their requirements, and I also expect them to be able to dig stones in the quarry!"

"Got it!"

Selena pursed her lips and then Stop talking.

The old village chief’s sacrifice on the central square stage ended with cheers, and the villagers piled up the prepared food on the long table...

...

A young magician riding a magic wand passed by the Paglos Pass. When he passed the wooden crosses on the top of the mountain, he saw piles of bones. Some vultures fell on the bones. It was OK to find some. The young magician was a little nauseous for the dried meat.

It is said that the folk customs on Desolate Land outside the mountain pass are sturdy. Although the young magician has made sufficient psychological preparations, he was shocked to see the white bones on the top of the mountain. Didn't expect The villagers here are sturdy to this point...

He passed the arrow tower of the mountain pass, and a group of large-scale dam clusters immediately appeared in the upper reaches of the valley in front of him.

The young magician sucks in a cold breath of air and ignores the scout guards on the mountain pass.

As he flew over the top of the arrow tower, a red flag had been raised on the flagpole of the arrow tower, and he didn't even look at it.

The news soon reached the village of Wall. The villagers were still participating in the harvest festival. The only people who knew about it were members of the security team and a small number of people such as the Chief Bright. The half-elf archer Samira came from Surdak. He stood up from the position beside him, and quietly exited the banquet.

She carried a bow, and her body was as light as a cheetah. She turned over and climbed a small townhouse in a few steps, looking at the direction of Paglos Pass from a distance. The long bow was already taken. In his hands...

The young magician rode the magic handle without knowing it, and finally reached the village of Wall at a gallop.

When I passed the entrance of the village, I actually made an extreme dive, and the dead branches close to the top of the tree passed quickly...
