Chapter 423: The Rite of the Dragon

Anyaling is the place where dragon sleeps and the birthplace of dragons. The Dragon Festival has been around for a long time. No one knows when it started. The specific customs and celebrations have changed a lot. I don’t know which generation of specific activities have changed. Many ancient customs are not allowed to remember them because they have no inheritance.

Especially in the middle, I have experienced natural disasters such as the beast disaster. Although Ania received less impact, it is still indelible pain. After the Battle of Saving the World, it gradually recovered the vitality here. People have regained the ancient traditions in this way, mainly to celebrate the harvest of autumn. The busyness of the year after the harvest of grapes and wheat should end. Next, winter is coming, and people have to start resting and prepare for next year's work. Before that, they need a grand festival to comfort the hard work of this year, and it also put a perfect end to the autumn harvest. There are similar festivals all over the world.

However, this festival in Anyatang added a mysterious color, that is, the legends related to dragons. To this day, the residents here still believe in the ancient epics, and even believe that the volcanic activities on Fire Island are the roaring of the giant dragons underground.

Because he wanted to figure out the secret of the dragon stone, Gehn agreed to the invitation to attend the festival. Of course, it was because he was thinking about it these two days and needed an excuse to take a break.

The celebration is located on a highland square in Anyatang. It is usually a park area. Every year, the Dragon's Festival will be arranged to make a huge space for the celebration crowd. The roads are filled with market stalls, and there are extremely lively scenes everywhere. The crowds are wearing local traditional costumes, with ancient totem patterns and dragon pictures on them. On the stage in the center, there are singers and bands performing festival songs. Of course... everything is not so traditional. Gehn can hear the sound of electric guitars and drums coming from the stage. There are also huge electronic screen floating in the air. Electronic products can be seen everywhere on the roadside around. Vendors are selling the latest electronic entertainment equipment, such as the new generation of virtual eye masks. Of course, this kind of place is mixed with fish and dragons. Gehn doesn't know whether it is true or not.

There are more things about dragons. There are dragon decorations and patterns everywhere. Even children wear dragon masks. It seems that I have been thinking too much about coming here to find clues, but it is not without gain. At least the roadside snacks here are quite delicious, and Gehn hasn't felt such a lively atmosphere for a long time. These days, they are either fighting or training, and they have been bored in the academy for a long time.

"Oh, you're still here." Guen heard someone greeting him from afar, and turned his head and seemed to see the girls walking together.

Kornier was wearing a traditional long dress from Yongxia Peninsula. The green hollow skirt covered her ankle, but there was a high slit next to it and a green silver-edged shawl on her shoulders. Naile was wearing a regular dress. She originally asked the servant to give her a very luxurious and gorgeous dress, but because it was too eye-catching and too troublesome to wear, she finally gave up. It was rare to have a chance, and it was more comfortable to be casual.

What Guen didn't expect was that Senior Sister Cassandra was also inside. She was seriously injured last time. Geen thought she could not recover for a while, but she didn't expect that she had recovered almost. She was wearing a long skirt, pure black. If you look closely, you will find a little starlight on it. She directly pinched it into a dress with the light of the starry black cat, her hair was tied into a bun, and a golden hairpin was on her head, which shone brightly under the sunlight. Seeing Geen look over, Cassandra blinked at him and showed a sly smile.

"How is it, is it still fit?" Cassandra turned around and wasted her power to show off her skills just now. It seems that she is indeed not a big deal.

"Senior sister, are you healthy? I thought you were going to recover for a while." Geen went up and said carelessly.

"It's okay, I'm just overdrawn. I'm not seriously injured. And Ella sent the best doctor Guangyu here to treat me. Look, you're jumping around." Kassandra shook her arm at Gehn and signaled that she was not seriously injured.

"By the way, where is Ella?" Gehn found that the crazy girl who jumped the most in the crowd had disappeared this time.

"After all, she is still the eldest lady of the lord of Ania. You still have to prepare rituals for such occasions. You can't wander around with us." Kornell covered his mouth and smiled secretly. This time of year is the most uncomfortable time for Ella. It is really a torture for her to wear that heavy and inconvenient dress and sit quietly in the auditorium to complete the ritual.

"Bang!" Everyone was chatting, and suddenly someone patted Geen behind him. Geen suddenly smelled a familiar breath and turned around to hold the other person's hand. Unexpectedly, she reacted very quickly and directly avoided Geen's clamping and walked around in front to slap him on his head.

Vicky's movements were as sensitive as a cat, which surprised Gun. Her sister had been very restrained and did not exercise much because of her mobility difficulties. Since she merged with that pair of abnormal armor, she has become more and more agile. It is not a problem to walk and run. If she adapts to her, she can be a combatant.

"You're making trouble again, how old is it." Gehn touched his sister's head with a laugh and cry.

"Hehe, I'm not doing well, right? Look, I can cooperate with Mr. Armor to perfection now. I can control each individual piece of armor and make super complicated movements." Vicky's fingertips hopped silver pieces, and her lower body was still in a state of being completely unable to move, but accurately controlling these pieces to hold up her body, she could achieve a much faster state than normal people.

"Great, at least I don't have to worry about you." Gehn smiled knowingly.

"Hmph, that won't work. Brother still has to worry about me often." Vicky put her hips on her hips and pretended to be angry, with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Okay, okay, I will go to the Abnormal Research Department to accompany you every once in a while." Looking at my sister's cute and silly look, Geen couldn't help laughing and rub Vicky's hair, "By the way, I have some questions about Longshi. I want to ask you..."

Geen remembered that he had been thinking about it for the past two days and was not useful. Such things should be found for professionals. My sister is now an abnormal research expert, so she should have discussed it with her earlier. Thinking of this, Geen suddenly felt a wonderful feeling in her heart. Since childhood, because Vicky was in poor health, he had been taking care of her. At this time, he realized that the once fragile and timid sister could now stand alone.

Not only was she ace researcher for the doctor in the Abnormal Research Department, but Vicky had never fallen on the battlefield. If she hadn't rushed to the battlefield to lock in Lancelot, the battle would probably be another ending. It would be impossible to say that Gun and his group of people were killed by the Faceless Church. It can be said that... this time it was her sister who saved her.

"Ah...it's better to have fun today. There's a rare scene like this. Let's talk about work tomorrow." Vicky stretched like a kitten. The usual workaholic was very lazy today. "I stared at that stone every few days ago, and I was annoyed when I looked at it."

"Oh, then okay, Kornier, where are we going first? You are a local, you know the road more." Gehn didn't think about those troubles anymore. The venue of the festival was large and complicated. He had been searching like a headless fly before, and everything was very lively, but he didn't know what he should go to for the festival.

"Of course I have to try the food that I can only eat today. Come on, follow me." Kornier waved the long sleeves of his dress and led everyone through the crowd to the other side of the celebration square.

Before she got close to Gunn, she asked about a unique strange fragrance. The smell was very light. It smelled like it was emitted by some kind of fruit. Koelier smelled the smell and saliva was almost gone. She couldn't wait to taste this fragrance. For everyone who grew up in Ania, this smell was the most beautiful childhood memory. She missed a celebration before practicing in the college. She rarely came back this year, but she had to make up for it.

There were many people in this area. Gehn saw a tower-like structure on the platform, which was built of wood. A certain red liquid flowed down on the wooden shelf and finally poured into the stove below. The fragrance emanated from the inside. After getting close, the sweet smell became even more attractive.

"What is this? Smell it well." Vicky came to the red liquid and smelled it, feeling very comfortable.

"Dragon Blood Brew." Kouel said mysteriously: "There is a special tree growing on the land of the Yongxia Peninsula. The branches are white and the leaves are also white. Only on this day, its fruits will ripen, and all the leaves will turn red, and will wither away tomorrow. After picking and heating, its fruits are the best spice in the world. Unfortunately, it can only be preserved for one day. Even if it is frozen and sealed, the flavor will be greatly reduced. So I can only eat it today. Because it is said that the dragon nourishes the earth and grows this tree, so we call it dragon elderberry, and this fruit is also called dragon blood fruit."
