Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 123 Preparing to Go Home Preparing to Go Home
The banquet ended with the pleasure of both the guests and the hosts. However, apart from a big meal, there were no other activities arranged.
There are no traditional dance performances, and there are no fun activities such as poetry pairing and quizzes. The old elder cat charm Nange said: Our cat charm does not engage in anything false, so that the guests are full and well-fed, which is the best hospitality!
When Fang Qiuling heard this, he immediately said that he was very satisfied with what he ate. He straightened his stomach and forcefully buckled a "lifebuoy" around his waist, saying: Look, my stomach is round!
This very down-to-earth behavior caused the big and small meows around to laugh and say: That's right, yes, you see, so are we!
The bulging little bellies brought bursts of laughter. In the food-starved valley of Agarwal, a full meal is the greatest happiness. The banquet came to a successful conclusion.
The banquet was a success, but it won't come back again in a short time. To be exact, it is impossible to have another one before the beginning of spring next year. Because it takes a lot of food reserves to let the whole village have a meal, even if this year's reserves are much more abundant than in previous years, they still can't afford to eat and drink like this again. After all, winter has just begun, and there are still nearly three months of cold winter to overcome.
This time the banquet was not only to entertain the guests, but also to celebrate the Winter Veil Festival in advance.
The Winter Veil Festival is the most important winter festival in Araka in the Western Continent, and it is a sacrificial festival to pray for blessings in the coming year. In large towns, there are usually large festivals on this day. People will offer tributes and pray for good weather and good life in the coming year. This was followed by the sharing of food and gifts.
The two things came together, so Elder Nange decided to throw a banquet to celebrate. After a year of hard work, let everyone have a good meal and be happy. In the scarce Agarwal Valley, cats usually celebrate with a good meal. There's no celebration that makes cats happier than having a good meal. If so, it is undoubtedly two meals!
The barrenness of the means of subsistence also affected the spiritual life. The racial specialty of being able to sing and dance can generally be pointed out after solving the problem of food and clothing. The cats of the Agarwal Valley are still battling hunger, so they don't have much time to sing and dance. So there was no show at the banquet except for the figures who were munching on their heads.
It stands to reason that this is the stage for the bards. As the only bard present, Fang Qiuling should perform on stage, play a song first, then sing a song, etc., etc., etc...... It is on this that the bard eats. But today he is a guest, and he is a distinguished guest, and it is too late for the big meows and small meows to scold him, who will find himself boring to let him come to the stage?
What's more, Fang Qiuling has had a lazy cancer attack in the past few days, and the whole person is in a period of slackness. If you want to catch him on stage to perform, you don't have to think about it.
The day after the banquet ended, Fang Qiuling crossed his fingers and began to count the time. Counting today, in another six days, the time compensation will be fully compensated! Once the time compensation is complete, you can open the door to the other world and go home. There are still six days to go, but it's always good to get the preparations done in advance.
Although it is said that it is necessary to prepare in advance, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing to really prepare.
As an advent who crossed alone, Fang Qiuling was used to having things stuffed into the storage bag. You can go whenever you want.
But now that I'm going back, those supplies in the storage bag ...... There seems to be no need to bring it back.
I opened the storage bag and counted it slightly. Fang Qiuling found that the daily food supplies brought from the present world still occupied most of the space in the storage bag, much more than expected. Two-thirds of the rice and flour products used as staple foods remain, and one-third are snacks and the like. All kinds of sauce packets and seasonings are full of big bags, and they are basically untouched.
These food supplies are enough to sustain an adult's consumption for more than a month, and it is estimated that it should barely be enough for two months to save some food. For the cat charms, these foods are a lot of wealth. Cat charms are half-starved all year round, and as long as it is normal food, they regard it as a treasure. However, for Fang Qiuling, who was about to return to the present world, these foods basically had no special value, and they were too much to take up space when stuffed in a storage bag.
So all these food supplies were cleared out.
"Eliza, it's all yours. Help move out, thank you. ”
Eliza's eyes widened in disbelief: "Huh! Brother Thulik, don't you want so many delicious things? ”
"I'm going back to my hometown in a few days. These things are in the way, so I'll leave them all to you. Fang Qiuling said while pulling things out of the storage bag, "I have a lot of such things in my hometown, if you like it, I'll bring some when I come back next time." ”
"Oh......"
Eliza shook around and left, looking for her friends to help carry her things. All kinds of food were thrown to the ground by Fang Qiuling, and it was estimated that there were more than two people tall when they were piled up, and Eliza couldn't move it alone.
While dealing with the supplies in the storage bag, Lily and Old Tom rushed back with inquiries.
"Shuric, you want to go back to your hometown?"
Old Tom was a loud man, and a single shout could be heard by almost everyone in the village.
Fang Qiuling glanced at this guy, but didn't pay much attention to it, and while continuing to take things out of the storage bag, he replied casually:
"Yes, that's right. I'm going to go back once, and there's something to take care of. ”
Lily then asked, "When are you leaving?" Now it's getting colder day by day, and there is snow on the road. Can't you wait until the beginning of spring next year? ”
"There are still three months left in the beginning of spring next year. It's been too long, I can't wait. ”
According to the current calendar, Christmas is in twelve days. The people of the old town of Modu generally use Christmas as Valentine's Day, and there should be a romantic candlelight dinner on this night, and there should be ...... Ahem!
There are still six days to go back, and it is safe to open the door of the other world and push it back by one day, so that the arrival home is almost exactly the 20th of December, and the time is just right.
Fang Qiuling planned to go back and ask Xiao Xiao to launch a new round of offensive! But...... I don't know if Xiao Hanyun will agree.
The first three months of acquaintance between men and women are critical periods, and it is important to make a good impression on the woman. Usually you should ask for warmth and care a lot, and from time to time there will be small gifts to offer, and you should go to all kinds of romantic places. In the past, he had no money, and Fang Qiuling couldn't be romantic even if he wanted to, but now that he has "changed a job", he has a little money in his pocket, and he has a little confidence in pursuing girls.
Fang Qiuling thought that he also had a disadvantage. I've been in Elune for two months, and it's been two months since Ilune. Half of the crucial period of three months has been missed! If you don't go back to catch up on a special day like Christmas, which can be used as Valentine's Day, maybe Xiao Hanyun will dump him directly! Of course, in fact, the relationship between the two is still in the "friend" stage. Fang Qiuling has a lot of good feelings for Xiao Hanyun, but how does Xiao Hanyun feel for Fang Qiuling...... It's not easy to say. It felt a little ambiguous, but Xiao Hanyun's eyes were more thoughts.
Lily continued to ask, "Then how do you go back?" Where is your hometown? It was a freezing day, and it was very cold to ride a horse. ”
Although she didn't know where Fang Qiuling's hometown was, Lily felt that it would definitely not be close to here. Most, most of it should be in Serradia. Being able to cultivate a monster-level family master like Fang Qiuling, the Norn family must also be a monster-level family, and it should only be available in a big city like Serradia. Even if the Norn family is scarce now, it must be a wealthy compound
It takes about a month to get from Mist Lake to Serradia, and it takes two months to make a round trip. Even if there are horses, the road will not be easy in the cold. I don't know how Fang Qiuling, who is usually very shrewd, has his brain pumping now, and he has to go back at this time. Wouldn't it be good to wait until the beginning of spring next year and go back slowly?
"How do you go back? Oh, forgot to say it. Fang Qiuling was rummaging through the storage bag, and took out the prism of the door with a turn of his hand, "Use this." There's teleportation magic sealed in it, and I'll be able to go back in one minute. ”
There was another Pastor Ed in the crowd. When he saw the Prism of the Door in Fang Qiuling's hand, his eyes suddenly turned green.
"Mr. Norn, where did this thing come from?"
There are countless brilliance circulating in the prism of the door, and the circulation is extremely gorgeous, and at a glance you know that it is priceless and priceless.
But Pastor Ed is not a greedy person, and his eyelids are not so shallow. How much money is worth is not the reason why Pastor Eddard's eyes are green, the real reason is because he has seen something similar in an old text. According to ancient texts, the crystal was described as a "source of calamity" and also as a "source of hope".
"What's wrong?"
"This is the Prism of the Gate! The Book of Ultramarines has a record of describing this crystal! It can open the door that crosses the crystal wall, it is ......"
Pastor Ed is stuck.
The Book of Ultramarines is written by a scholar of the Golden Age of the First Age, in ten volumes, and is Elune's earliest biographical history. The history books record the historical stories of many unknown sages who were active during the creation of the gods.
However, the Ultramarine Book contained in the Temple of Notos is actually only a partial part of it, the first, second, and fourth volumes of the ten historical books. The other volumes were included in the Temple of Fire, the Temple of the God of War, and the Neutral Capital of Paranzas. It has extremely high historical research value.
In Elune, knowledge is power. At the same time, the mystery of Elune can also become a power. The Book of Ultramarine is a history book that records the creation of the gods, combining knowledge and mystery, and even any scroll has an extremely large power hidden in it.
"You've actually read the Ultramarine Book? Hey, old Ed, I don't see that you're quite capable. I really underestimated you before. ”
Fang Qiuling was slightly surprised.
Pastor Eddard, who was slightly blessed, seemed to be rich and rich, and he was very good at preaching in the temple, especially among middle-aged and elderly women. Fang Qiuling once joked that he was "the idol of middle-aged and elderly women", which made Pastor Ed angry for several days.
- The idol of middle-aged and elderly women, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is not a compliment!
“…… Legend has it that this crystal can open the door to the other world. Mr. Norn, I didn't expect you to come from another world! ”
- Not good! Someone has seen through the identity!
Fang Qiuling blinked his eyes and slanted his gaze without slashing.
"Well, I'll admit it. I am the Great Demon King from the M78 Nebula, nicknamed 'Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Heavenly Demon King'. I have eighty-one brothers, each of whom is a monster with three heads, six arms, invulnerability, and eight legs. All of them are copper-headed, iron-armed, powerful, and brave and good at fighting. The fight is even more endless. And he also likes to burn, kill and loot, leaving no grass everywhere he goes...... Feed! Lily, why are you hitting me, said in pain. ”
"It's okay, don't make up stories." Lily glared at Fang Qiuling angrily, "That's how you started when you told the story to the little ones a few days ago. Thought I didn't hear it? ”
"Are you still interested in this kind of story? Okay, I'll change the one I haven't talked about. I'm a star spirit from the constellation Andromeda. The purpose of coming to Elune was to conduct reconnaissance for the arrival of the larger forces to follow. I'm good at change, and I can become ...... Pain, pain! ”
"Okay, don't make a fuss!" Lily beat Fang Qiuling with her head in her hands and squatted in defense, "What constellation are you from, I am still an angel who came into the world!" Get down to business, be serious! ”
"Oh......"
"This is the Prism of the Gate?"
Lily thrust her waist and glared at Fang Qiuling condescendingly.
"I don't know ......"
"Don't know?"
"yes, I don't know."
"You said you didn't know what you took out?"
"Of course not. The Prism of the Gate is something recorded in the history books of the Golden Age, how can I know what this thing looks like? How many years is the golden age now? You think I'm the one who can live that long? Please, I'm a human, not an elf. But even if it's an elf, it won't live that many years, right? ”
"Uh......"
- It makes sense, and I can't refute it!
If something from the golden age can survive to this day, it must be an artifact. Although the prism in front of him is extremely gorgeous, if it is said to be an artifact, no one will believe it.
In between conversations, there were a few more small heads among the people watching the excitement, and one of them was undoubtedly Eliza. Old Tom shouted so loudly just now, and the village was so big that it was hard to hear it.
"Brother Thulick, you want to go back to your hometown?"
"Well, go back with teleportation magic, you'll be there soon, you'll be back soon. Do not worry. ”
"Hmm!"
Eliza nodded vigorously. The little cat girl is very cute.
"What do you like? I'll come back with some gifts. Do you want good food, or do you want beautiful clothes? ”
"It's okay, as long as it's brought back by Brother Thulick, Eliza likes it."
"Okay, I got it." Fang Qiuling gave a thumbs up, "Eliza is waiting for the gift." Other friends also have a share. ”
"Yay!"
The kittens cheered a little, which left Pastor Ed a little speechless.
- You are a dead aristocrat, the difference is too obvious! is so kind to the cat charms, and sneering at me, your guy's double standard is too obvious!
