Chapter 40: Ceremony (1)
Northrend Kingdom, Baron Rons, Ville Town.
The reward ceremony began with everyone's expectations, but the scale of the ceremony exceeded expectations of the onlookers.
The venue for this reward ceremony was selected in the square in front of the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture.
This is a square that can accommodate two thousand people to pray at the same time, and is decorated with a new look by the believers of the goddess of agriculture.
The decoration mainly symbolizes harvesting of gold, symbolizes the growth of all things, and is supplemented by colored flags symbolizing various flowers.
Various crops, farm tools models, farming scenes and paintings celebrating the harvest scenes, even more covering the entire square. At this time, the square is like a celebration of harvest.
Even on the platform built in front of the temple gate, there were several minstrels who took turns reciting poems praising the goddess Demeter, which attracted many believers of the goddess Demeter to listen in the audience.
Brandon was still finding an elf among several minstrels.
The fair skin, dark green eyes, and pointed ears give people a delicate and elegant feeling.
A circus occupied a corner of the square, where he performed magic on people, causing bursts of exclamations from time to time.
On the streets around the square, there were several caravans setting up stalls on the street and shouting hard. It seemed that they wanted to sell their own goods while there were too many people.
People kept gathering in the square, feeling a rushing crowd.
...
During this period, people who have suffered the damage to war due to the invasion of the undead need such an opportunity, an opportunity to release the depression in their hearts.
Because the invasion of the undead was just around the corner.
In order to eliminate the undead, Baron Rons recruited too many soldiers to go to war, which affected the farming of many families in the territory.
However, the war logistics mobilization order followed, which led to a large number of young and strong people joining the logistics team, which led to a shortage of labor in more families, and the harvesting of grain and the sowing of crops in the next season were greatly affected.
It has seriously affected the farming season, and it is inevitable that crop yield will be reduced in the next season...
Multiple factors combined together have led to the fact that this year's festival was not held as scheduled.
The accessories originally prepared by the temple were naturally not taken out.
At this moment, taking advantage of the opportunity to commend meritorious deeds, we can relieve the depression in people's hearts, get rid of the shadow of the invasion of the undead, and reignite people's enthusiasm for life.
This is not only what the lord is happy to see, but also what the church is happy to see.
...
Andrew and Alber pulled Brandon to the vicinity of the temple early on, and the Pegasus stayed honestly in the stables of the hotel. Of course, the Pegasus did not have to tie the reins to the pillars, and would not have any actions to restrict freedom.
When they saw the scene in front of them, they all opened their mouths in surprise! Looking at Brandon, then looking at the celebration in front of them, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Andrew even secretly pinched his thighs, wondering if he was dreaming! If Brandon had made such a great contribution, why did he always follow Brandon during the war and personally participate in the battle to siege and kill the little demons! Why was he dismissed by dozens of silver coins and an iron spear that had been exempted from taxes for several years...
Brandon looked at the scene before him and understood in his heart that the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture and the Lord would not have to create such a big battle in order to grant himself hundreds of acres of land.
If it is a public honor, although it is a bit exaggerated by my contribution, it is still a bit of a past for my two consecutive discoveries of creatures in another world. But to achieve this scale, it is like celebrating a festival, and it is obviously not just for myself.
I may be considered a guest, but I will never be myself...
Just as Brandon and the other three wandered around the platform, listening to the bard sang praises to the goddess Demeter.
Bertina appeared again in front of Brandon with exhausted Interior Officer Hilorore.
Bertina bowed slightly: "I'm very sorry! Brandon, as you can see, the scale of the ceremony has changed significantly. But don't worry, I can think of you on behalf of the church and my father: Your honor will not be buried, and your reward will not be reduced in the slightest!"
Interior officials, Hilorore, stood behind Bertina's side and expressed his apology, and agreed with Bertina's words.
"Is there something that I don't know about?" Brandon had no objection to the expansion of the ceremony and the guest of honor replaced him, but the gossip fire in his heart was burning.
Bertina and Hilorl looked at each other, and saw Hilorl nod.
Bertina suddenly changed her expression and relaxed a lot: "Actually, this is the opinion of Pastor Alanis. She said that when the priests are pessimistic, they should show their achievements, and reward merits should be more lively. At the same time, sacrificial and blessing rituals need to be held to comfort the heroic spirits of the deceased and soothe the pain in the hearts of the deceased's relatives..."
"So we started preparing the things we saw in the middle of the night last night..." Interior Administrator Shillor looked at the decorations around him, his face full of fatigue and bloodshot eyes...
"I just said it was noisy last night..." Andrew closed his mouth after a little aware of Brandon, Aber and Bertina's surprise eyes.
"Pastor Alanis? Is there a new bishop in the temple?" Brandon asked curiously.
"No, no!" Bertina found that her voice seemed to be a little high, and instead explained in a low voice: "Pastor Alanis is one of the two legendary masters who came to guard the Thorn Forest this time."
"You have seen the legendary master! Will she come to preside over the ceremony?" Brandon, Andrew and Aber's eyes were about to shine, staring at Bertina with bright eyes, and even the middle-aged Interior Official Shillor also gave inquisitive eyes.
"If you haven't seen it, it's even more impossible to have the chance to speak. It's the news sent back by Archbishop Sand." Bertina had seen such an expression too many times in this short time and explained it too many times.
"Oh..." The disappointed voices of several people around Pastor Bertina rang out.
"Okay, Brandon, you need to go to the temple first and wait for the ceremony to begin." Bertina was obviously immune to such a scene.
"So I need anything to cooperate with?" Brandon was still willing to cooperate with such a favorable and easy task.
"It's okay, you can follow the original process. There should be no change in this regard. Come on, please come with me!" After saying that, Bertina set out to go to the main hall of the temple.
Brandon immediately followed him when he saw this. Andrew and Alber looked at each other, shook their head helplessly, and chased after him.
Seeing this, Mr. Hilorr lost his desire to keep up, turned around and took his people to inspect the scene.
Chapter completed!
