Chapter 5 Harvest Sacrifice (1)
On September 25, 2018, the 7487th year of the Shengyuan period, this day was a harvest festival.
The Kingdom of Esk in the mainland, Ricca Town.
The pedestrians on the road laughed and the children chased and played. The harvest festival was not only one of the four major festivals stipulated by the Agriculture goddess Isidis, but also one of the universal festivals that most humans and even many races transcend religion and countries.
After all, for most intelligent life, a good harvest means abundant food and hope.
For many children, everything in front of them is even more exciting. This is a rare rest day in the year. No matter how busy the people are, they will have half a day to rest in the afternoon and participate in the celebration.
The next morning, Romon, who was awakened by the sound of playing below, also got up, put on his clothes, went downstairs, and the hotel was quiet and there were not many people.
Romon walked out and looked over. Most of the houses were wooden houses. A little further away, the largest building in the town was a stone temple.
For Romon, this temple is not unfamiliar. It is the temple of the goddess of agriculture. Of course, it is also the only faith center called Rika. There are not many temples in a town.
Looking at the street, although the voices are noisy, they are actually very quiet. After all, there are only a few hundred families in this town.
Houses were crowded on the narrow streets, with gravel on the streets and grass growing in the cracks.
In the distance, the castle spire on the hills is the castle of the lord Baron Rocas, which has a history of four hundred years.
Although it was the end of September, at first glance, the entire town was filled with greenery, towering ancient trees were everywhere, and the tree canopy that covered the sky and sun covered the low houses nearby.
The simplicity and tranquility of hundreds or even thousands of years has not changed, but it is more obvious under the fun of the harvest festival.
After staying for a while, perhaps it was influenced by Romon's memory in the past, all of this brought a familiar feeling. This familiar feeling diluted the fear and strangeness. Romon, after a while, finally smiled bitterly and completely accepted the fact of time travel.
Under Romon walked slowly along the cobbled street. The familiar and unfamiliar blacksmith shops, grocery stores, craftsman shops and mills on both sides attracted the new Romon.
In the distance, there is a huge car, that is the troupe's troupe's troupe's turret.
The troupe is a group of poor people, who perform tricks, singing and dancing, clowns to make fun of the masses and get meager money. The girls in this troupe are all selling themselves. According to the analysis of sporadic discussions and memories around, Romon understood that this situation is very common.
Not to mention theatre troupes, just ordinary mercenary groups, those young female warriors, are all selling themselves. They must make some money before their physical strength declines, otherwise they will have to be sad in the future.
Romon glanced at the sun. It was obviously still early to officially start the harvest festival.
Before he knew it, he came to the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture and looked at the stone temple. The colorful colors represent ancient traces. The joy of rebirth ejaculation came up, and he felt a little melancholy.
Walking into the temple, there was a statue of the god on the platform, which was the goddess of agriculture Isidis.
On the wall, there are reliefs of bulls and trees, flowers and plants. The goddess' statues are all carved from white marble. They are about five meters high. She wears a crown of flowers and plants on her head and a green dress. However, her appearance is beautiful, and her female curves are vaguely visible. She has a very feminine charm, but her eyes are very vivid, with the love of looking down on all living beings.
In the past, Romon came here to pray in habit. This was the rule in the town. Basically, children over twelve years old would come to pray with their parents.
In the past, Romon would not have noticed the invisible holy light on the statue that was usually hidden on the statue, but now, with the power of Shennongjiao, in Romon's eyes, it was a ball of green light, like a huge cocoon, covering the statue, flowing, and from time to time, fireflies-like green light flying in the hall.
Just as Romon stood in front of the statue and was dazed, a girl slowly walked to him: "Romon, why have you been here? Are you having fun outside in the past?"
Romon was awakened by the call, and he turned to look at the girl.
This girl, about fifteen years old, was walking out of the temple. She was wearing a priest's female robe, with a tall mouth, revealing her slender and white thighs, with green flower bands, and her delicate and slender waist, with her soft eyes clear.
"Miss Alini..." Romon naturally shouted out the girl's name, and his quick memory made him know that this girl was the object of the men in the town who were secretly chanting in their dreams.
She is the glory of the town, with devotion and keen perception, able to connect with the power of the goddess, so she became an intern priest of the temple of the goddess of agriculture in the town - if nothing unexpected happens, she might be the next priest of the temple in the town.
"Romon, why are you still dirty? Come and come here to wipe your face so that you can attend the afternoon harvest festival." Alini saw his dirty face and clothes falling to the ground, and said, pulling him into the back of the temple, which was a pool of clear water.
This is one of the benefits of the temple, a channel that runs through the outer realm that Romon cannot understand now, so that there will always be clear and delicious springs in the temple.
Romon took the towel and put the spring water in it, quickly washed his face. Looking at Romon who had washed, Alini had no idea why, but suddenly her face turned red.
The boy in front of him was still so familiar and nothing changed. Although it was predictable that he would be a handsome man in the future, Elini had no feelings at all before, but now, the heroic spirit between his eyebrows immediately made the little boy lose a lot of childishness and add some indescribable charm.
"Sister Alini, thank you. I pray to the goddess and wish you good health." Romon said.
"Ah, thank you, Romon, we are going to set off, you can go with us!" Alini said, her eyes had already seen Pastor Tenness. Pastor Tenness came over and saw that Romon and Alini were together, and his face darkened.
"Alini, let's go!" he said
"Okay, wait a moment, come, Romon, go with me!" said Elini.
A trace of malicious intention pricked up, and Romon frowned slightly. After becoming a druid, he was very sensitive to this, but he had no choice but to follow him.
As soon as we arrived in the square, a young man wearing a high black top hat ran to the stage: "Ladies and gentlemen, let you wait for a long time. Below, the Cardo Performance Team will bring you a wonderful performance and accompany you to have a happy afternoon. Please applause and welcome!"
A woman wearing a tight black leather outfit with a leather whip in her hand walked out of the car.
A big parrot flew behind her and kept shouting: "Welcome, welcome!"
Almost at the same time, a tiger followed behind him, and a monkey stood on the tiger.
As they walked out, everyone present applauded and watched the woman in black direct the tiger through the iron circle 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 top hat waved a small wooden stick in his hand. As he waved, sparks emerged from the tip of the wooden stick and flew into the air. With a "bang", it exploded, forming fireworks of various shapes.
These fireworks turned into flowers, into flying golden snakes, into the reproduction of trees... These beautiful fireworks attracted Romon's attention.
Is this magic? Even the lowest level trick?
After the performance, there was not much time, the town's Pastor Tenness appeared on a wooden platform in the square. Around the surroundings, the crowd automatically gathered on the wooden platform, and the hymn to the goddess officially began.
"Goddess Isidis, growth and harvest are both part of the eternal cycle, and are the most natural part that can be done after the existence of intelligent life. Today we can get a good harvest. We must thank God, the earth, and nature. Then, in the spring of the next year, we will sow more seeds of life and fill the world with green." This is the sermon of Pastor Tenes.
"Thank you for giving us food, thank you for giving us abundance." The neat voice echoed around the platform, and seven or eight hundred townsmen shouted neatly.
There will be no miracles in the harvest festival in this town, and the goddess's hymn is very simple. Without much time, the ceremony ends, and the carnival is here, which is the time of beer and barbecue.
"Sister Alini, I have something to ask you tomorrow. Are you here?" Taking advantage of the gap, Romon stepped forward and said.
"What's the matter?" Alini turned around. Of course, there was no bra in this world. The priest's robe opened and his mouth was big. This turned around and Romon saw a snow-white patch.
Amazing, this is Romon's mood for a moment.
Although this body has been in contact with her many times before, now it still has a thrilling beauty, and it can't help but feel a sense of "stunning" - the sunlight is cast on her body, and a faint green light is shrouded in her body, with a strange and faint fragrance.
A tremor spread rapidly, and in an instant, Romon lost his mind, but in a blink of an eye, the look behind him calmed down: "Sister Alini, I want to ask you to witness something tomorrow."
Alini was a little surprised: "What's the matter? Oh, I'm very busy now, I'll wait for you tomorrow!"
