Chapter 207: The Theory of Lifespan
Artoria, who was in charge of running around Gensokyo, delivering invitations one by one, didn't return until close to noon.
The main thing is that Gensokyo is not big, but there are more places to run, and it is more tortuous and complicated, and it takes a lot of time to stay in each place, and some places are very troublesome just to enter.
For example, the White Jade Tower in the Underworld needs to find a way to pass through the Dark Light Barrier, and then walk through a long staircase to finally reach it.
The invitees also arrived one by one after noon, and they passed through the large barrier outside the shrine at the top of Yokai Mountain to the shrine outside the outside world, and the scene soon became lively.
Although the area of Moriya Shrine is huge, and there is even a mountain lake in the distance directly opposite the shrine, there are also a lot of people in Gensokyo, and one of the squares in Nuoda can be quite lively at the same time.
The three sisters are often invited to the banquet to play and stir up the atmosphere, and this time is naturally no exception, and Artoria also sent an invitation to them by the way when she ran to the White Jade Tower in the Underworld.
The eldest daughter Lunasa Prizmliba, the second daughter Melulan Prizmliba, and the third daughter Lilika Prizmliba, the three sisters are all spirits and a kind of ghosts, strictly speaking, they are different, but they are indeed classified like this.
They form an orchestra, so the noise level is x3.
Mainly has the ability to play a musical instrument without limbs x3.
Under the playing, stringing, and trumpet playing of the Prizmliba Orchestra composed of the ghost trio, the atmosphere quickly became high-pitched, and in Charlotte, and the sixteenth night of the Red Devil Pavilion, the venue was set up in a very short time.
Long tables are arranged in the open space between the shrine and Lake Aejin, and a variety of steaming main meals are displayed in an instant, as well as a variety of salads, desserts, ice cream, and other cold foods, as well as a variety of fruit juices.
It's really hard to imagine how the two of them kept pulling out plates and dishes from it at such a fast and efficient speed in an ordinary family-level kitchen.
Especially after Yakumo Blue also came over to help, the speed was even faster, even if there were many people on the scene who were desperately eating and drinking, as if holding a big stomach king competition, the speed of serving food could fully keep up.
Of course, the last thing that can be missing is the wine, and the ghost clan Lori Ibuki Cuixiang also came over in person and asked Xia Ran if she needed her to provide the ghost clan's wine, otherwise this banquet would be boring......
For this, Xia Ran thanked Bumin.
Although it seems that the wine gourd of this ghost clan loli can automatically gush out infinitely of wine, he still doesn't want to use the ghost clan's wine very much, who knows how their wine-making skills are ordered like this.
Pure industrial alcohol is not so terrible, it is simply a poison, or a poison that can work on non-humans.
So he rejected Ibuki Lori's kindness, saying that he would handle such a small thing...... It is indeed a small thing, and the wine culture in the Celestial Empire also has a long history and a long origin, especially in various legends such as martial arts and fairy tales, which occupy a large proportion.
And in his previous copy world, it happened to be a world of gods and demons with a high-level Xianxia painting style, from various ores and plants, to medicines and spices, he spent more than ten years hoarding a lot of useful things, and there was naturally no shortage of fine wine.
The ferocious ones even have fairy wines, such as the "One Bite of a Thousand Years of Dreams", which is more extreme than the ghost wine, which does not directly make people completely drunk to death by alcohol poisoning, but is said to be so strong that it can make mortals fall asleep for a thousand years after drinking a sip.
But you don't need to be so extreme, just have some normal, sunny style wine, and you'll be fine.
I also have to consider the general public, people who can drink this level of immortal brew as boiled water, including himself, are still very few after all.
However, Ibuki Suika is not very picky, and it is not that the stronger the wine, the better, she can also enjoy the warmer and more mellow wines that Xia Ran took out, and she also feels that it has a different taste.
Overall, it seems that the whole party was indeed lively and smooth.
The Phantom Dream Tapir clan from another world,Of course, it's the protagonist.,Although only the lord of the demon world and the current young master appeared.,But it's okay to have a representative.,The tengu of the monster mountain has never been the whole clan to come to the banquet together.。
This is mainly because in the last mutation before,Shouya Shrine is basically equivalent to a scene.,Although they hadn't moved into Gensokyo at that time.,But at that time, there was also a banquet at Hakurei Shrine.。
Coupled with the problems caused by the magic envoys of the realm at that time, the grand scene where almost the entire Gensokyo participated in the war, and Kanako and others were no exception, so it can be said that many people in Gensokyo already have a considerable understanding of these two gods.
So this time, everyone's curiosity is naturally placed on the dream tapir.
Many people have heard of this race, but they haven't had much contact with it before, especially since this group of dream tapirs lived on an asteroid before and was brought into Gensokyo by Xia Ran.
This makes people even more curious, could it be that these monsters used to live in outer space, living on asteroids, orbiting the solar system periodically, and only recently returned to the earth?
Because of curiosity, it will naturally take action, and many people naturally surround Chanyou and Liu Mengli, chirping and asking questions non-stop, such as Marisa, who has a self-familiar character, and for example, Barnyard Aqiu, who has been responsible for compiling the history of Gensokyo.
The mother and daughter faced such a scene for the first time, they were a little caught off guard, and no one could help them if they wanted to ask for help, and the only familiar person deliberately walked far away, looking at this place with a smile in the corner of the venue.
But although they smiled bitterly in their hearts, they also knew that this was each other's kindness, and this occasion seemed to be a special occasion for them to officially meet the people of Gensokyo, and truly become a part of the accepted Gensokyo.
Moreover, the other party's behavior also shows that he actually has no intention of treating the dream tapir clan as his vassals, so they are still free and autonomous, and these things should be done by themselves.
“…… What's the deal with your injuries? ”
A faint voice interjected into the enthusiastic conversation, and suddenly the air was quiet, but it was the tyrant of the flower in a white shirt and plaid skirt, who didn't know when he also came over, frowning and looking at Chanyou.
Chan You's heart froze, and she turned her head to look at this big monster in some surprise, even she didn't notice that someone came to her unconsciously, but she didn't realize it.
Demon King?
No, it seems to be a little more terrifying...... Sensing the faint demonic aura that is as fresh as the breath of nature, Chanyou feels that her scalp is numb.
Although I had heard Xia Ran say before that Gensokyo was an inhuman paradise, I never thought that the big demons of this level could come out one after another and gather together in a bunch.
The little girl with the horn who was holding a wine gourd and running around the banquet didn't say anything, I heard that it was actually a ghost or something, it was really hard to imagine, it should be a kind of monster, not an ethereal spirit body......
There is also the strategist who dragged nine huge fox tails behind him, dressed in blue, and there was no doubt that he was the fox demon who had cultivated into the nine-tails, and he was actually helping in the kitchen at the moment, and I heard that it was another follower of the big demon......
Now there is such an even more terrifying plant-based monster that makes him creepy just by getting close to him, how can it not make Chanyou feel frightened? But at the same time, she also felt more and more that this banquet was indeed necessary.
Gensokyo doesn't seem to be the world I'm familiar with before, and I have to change the strategy of the Dream Tapir in order to better integrate into this new environment.
Having fixed his mind, the Lord of the Demon Realm tried his best to answer the question of the Flower Tyrant in a calm tone.
Feng saw a slight glint in Yuxiang's eyes, she didn't expect the other party's injury to come like this, and immediately glanced at Chan Yu with great appreciation, not long after giving birth, she dragged the injured body to tear the enemy apart, so as to fall to the root of the disease?
……
……
"Aren't you going to go over and make friends with them?"
In a corner of the venue, looking at the sunset over the distant mountains and the evening scenery of the sunset burning like fire, Xia Ran took a sip of the drink in his hand and said with a smile to the small group in front of him.
"Forget it...... It feels like there's really no common language. Yui Yui Yuhihama gave her trademark smirk and touched the back of her head, "So let's take it slow and just go with the flow." ”
From the beginning of the banquet to the present, they have always been together with a few of them.
But in fact, there is no problem.,Familiar people will come to say hello to them or something.,It's not like they're left out.,And there are a lot of people who play with themselves.,For example, the group of little Lolitas who have no one in their eyes.,It's playing and playing.。
The leprechauns were the only ones who could play with Flandro, because even if they were directly pinched, there would be no problem, they were a natural phenomenon and were themselves conceptually immortal.
For example, from the beginning of the banquet to the present, the "undead spirit of Hua Xu" has been floating between the long tables to feed, and she has never talked to others at all, and she can't understand why she has such a good appetite as a ghost......
But when it comes to this, the knightly kings of ancient Britain will not give in to ghosts.
Basically, these two people acted as the main force of the banquet, and even Hakuri Reimu was far from being ashamed of herself, after all, the poor and starving Hakurei witch was only able to compete with the two for a short time at the beginning.
But as a human being, her appetite is still limited, and now the witch lady is resting under the maple tree not far away with her tea in her hand.
"And those ghosts are too noisy......" Hikiya Hachiman looked at the three sisters floating in the sky above the venue with a bitter expression, "I haven't heard of music that can make people suddenly start dancing and speechless......"
"Oh, after all, it's ghosts, it's a reflection of their abilities, and you, as ordinary people, should have been affected by something."
Xia Ran was slightly stunned, thought about it, and probably understood what was going on.
"Speaking of which, is the management of the afterlife so lax?" Under the snow, he looked thoughtfully at the ghost in the field, "The ghost can also return to the present world at will and move at will?" ”
"That's not it, that undead princess is the manager of the White Jade Mansion in the underworld, unlike ordinary undead, the court master next to her is only a half-spirit, not an undead...... Xia Ran shook his head.
"What about the three of them?"
Under the snow, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the Soul Orchestra, the three of them were playing, and the combination of light rhythm and classical instruments seemed to be extraordinarily cheerful.
"They're spirits, not ghosts, and they're technically magical creatures or elves, so maybe it's more appropriate." Xia Ran shook his head again, "So they are not subject to the laws and rules of the afterlife. ”
"Magical creatures? Genie? ”
Facing Xue Nai's puzzled eyes under the snow, Xia Ran thought for a moment: "That's true, yes, these three sisters were created by their sister Layla, and they are indeed spell creations. ”
“…… Sister created three older sisters? The black straight girl's expression became even more strange.
Xia Ran smiled: "This matter is a long story, it starts from sixty-five million years ago......
"I'm not asking about dinosaurs!"
"Well, in fact, the birth of the three sisters goes back to the distant past, and it is said that there was a human nobleman named Count Prizmliba, who had four daughters and loved them very much......"
Xia Ran restrained his expression and told what he had learned.
Because of an unfortunate accident, four girls lost their families. The helpless children were adopted separately, and only Layla, as the fourth daughter, could not leave the mansion full of memories.
With all her might, Layla Prizmliba created the Spirits in the shape of her sisters, and disappeared into the outside world with the mansion and the Spirits, entering the forgotten Gensokyo.
At first, Sao Ling was just a phantom and auditory hallucination of her sisters created by Layla, but as time passed, it slowly became as if she could talk to Layla, and then it began to be like living together at some point.
The life of Gensokyo would have been very difficult with Layla's own words, but with the help of her sisters, Phantoms, she was finally able to barely get by. It's just that the three sisters can't grow up, while Layla is still a human.
In the end, the young girl, who was easily lonely, used up her life in general. But the incredible thing is that although Layla died, the apparitions of the three have never disappeared.
Time has passed, and the four people who used to have passed away a long time ago, but the mansion was left in Gensokyo as a mansion of the spirit, and the three sisters of the spirit who were created are still living noisily.
“……”
“……”
After Xia Ran finished telling the whole story, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
