Angus Village.
Lina was wearing a solemn sacrificial robe and holding a sacrificial scepter in her hand. She stood outside the back door of the temple, waiting anxiously.
"That guy, before leaving, he agreed to try his best to rush back before the festival begins." Lina looked up at the darkening sky, a little depressed: "Everyone is like this, Vivian doesn't come, Catherine doesn't come, and Panis doesn't come back. If no one comes to see him, what's the point of presiding over the memorial."
"Oh, Ketria, don't make trouble. I am very professional. Since I agree, I will definitely complete the task." Lina shook her head and talked to herself: "So, I won't just run away just because it's boring."
Lina spent round and round at the back door of the temple. The sky became darker and darker, and Lina was also disappointed. Finally, she could only sigh and shake her head, turn around and walk slowly back into the temple. As soon as she walked out, she heard the roar of machinery behind her back. Hearing the sound, Lina did not look back and continued to walk into the temple, muttering: "It's time, there are still people riding motorcycles outside, and it's obvious that they are coming to attend the ceremony."
"Young girl." Panis's voice sounded behind him with a roar: "I'm asking, we are going to attend the end of the Harvest Festival, so we have not gone the wrong way."
"Ha, Panis, you're finally back." Lina turned around quickly, then she rushed forward without any surprise: "Wow, Vivian and Catherine, I miss you so much."
"Idiot Lina, go away." Vivian awkwardly reached out to Lina, which was about to kiss her face, pushed Lina hard, and shouted as she pushed: "You guy won't bring me here to play, hum, I won't let you kiss."
"Don't do this, I've prepared a gift for you." Lina said with a smile: "A square body, a magical creature in the age of goblins."
"Really?" Vivian's eyes lit up, and she didn't care about pretending to be angry, and she said loudly: "Show me where is it."
"The backpack is in the room. Let's go, I'll take you to see." Lina took Vivian's hand and said, "Sister, Panis, let's come in and have a rest first. The festival will start with an hour and a half. After the festival is over, let's have fun for a night."
Catherine looked at Lina with a smile and walked in front of her, holding Vivian's hand, and said softly to Panis beside her: "Thank you for your hard work, Panis."
"Ah?" Panis scratched his head: "It's just to pick you up, it's not hard at all."
Catherine smiled faintly and shook her head: "The two in front are all fools, and they won't think deeper. Yesterday, I'm afraid you were like Lina, and you didn't sleep all night. Today, you ran a round trip between the two cities for more than 300 kilometers. You have to send Vivian back tonight and accompany Vivian to class tomorrow morning. You have to accompany Vivian to class for three days and two nights in a row, and you still say it's not hard? No matter what, you have to worry, thank you."
Panis shrugged and said relaxedly: "The physical fitness of a professional person will not be exhausted. And you have done so much for me, but I have never said thank you."
Katherine tilted her head and blinked, thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay, let's keep all the words of gratitude in my heart, and I'll have plenty of time to express it in the future."
"Yes, there will be a lot of time." Panis looked up and looked at Lina and Vivian who were playing together in front of him, feeling the warmth of home that he had never had before.
"Lina's crazy look." Catherine said softly: "She has told you the past these days?"
"Say it, and then my nature is revealed." Panis replied with a wry smile: "It's unbelievable that she usually has a noble and sacred temperament, but she is so... well, lively in private."
"What do you think would be like if someone who has locked herself up in a dark library for ten years?" Katherine sighed. "Actually, she has never grown up. She is essentially a child. In fact, even Vivian is often more mature than her."
"What's going on with Vivian?" Panis asked, "I only know that she is likely..."
"I won't tell you, let Vivian tell you by yourself when you have the chance." Catherine smiled sly, stepped forward and inserted it between Lina and Vivian, blocking the arms of the two girls and shouting loudly: "Let's go, go back to your room to dress up, we'll go to the campfire party later."
"So cunning." Panis muttered, but instead of following the three girls, he turned around and pushed the magic motorcycle toward the stable. He parked the motorcycle in the stable. Panis patted the horse he rode next to him, and then patted the magic motorcycle: "I know you are a stallion, so don't have bad fantasies about this beautiful lady metal. Did you hear it? Otherwise, hum, today will be your last day to be a stallion."
"Oh, Brother Kyle, how bored you are now." The air behind Panis fluctuated, and a pair of twins in black and white dress appeared behind Panis, pressing their foreheads in unison with a headache: "I actually talk to a horse. If Sister Neli is still alive, she will definitely cry."
"If Neli is still here, I will be happy to see me now." Panis smiled and shook his head, and sighed: "Maya, I have been waiting for me for a day. Thank you for your hard work."
"No." Maya in white clothes said: "That junior is very powerful. I only said it once, and she realized it by herself, which scared me. I'm afraid you have experienced a very fierce battle, otherwise it would be difficult to understand it so quickly."
"It's okay, actually she has accumulated enough, and she's just someone else's pushing her back. Thank you." Panis thought for a while and kicked the big dog at the girls' feet: "Big dog, thank you too, transportation."
"Get out." The big dog spoke human language, but his voice had become old. Looking closely, his hair was already a little gray. Obviously, even based on his race, he had already entered aging: "I have told you many times. My name is Dilly, and I am a scorpion-tailed lion. I am not a means of transportation, nor a big dog. If I dare to call me like this, I will bite you to death in minutes."
Panis laughed and squatted down to look at the Scorpion-tailed Lion: "Old friend, you haven't seen each other for a hundred years, your hair has turned a lot white. I'll help you pull your hair white."
"Get out, you want to get me bald." The Scorpion-tailed Lion turned his head and shouted at the Maya Sisters: "Hey, let's go quickly, I can't stand this idiot."
"Hehe, Brother Kyle just likes to bully Dilly." Daeya, in black clothes, covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Kyle, then we're leaving. I haven't forgotten what I told you."
"Don't worry, I can't forget it." The smile on Panis's face disappeared, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Antuyin also mentioned this to me, saying that it was Flar who told me. If this is true, haha."
"Then I'll have a chance to see you again in the future, Brother Kyle." The two girls waved their hands and took a step forward. In just one step, the two and the Scorpion-tailed Lion disappeared into the twilight at the same time.
"It's really a luxury to use the spiritual realm to rush on the road." Panis looked up at the three moons that had just begun to show their clues in the sky, his voice was dull and determined: "If this matter is true, I will not let you go no matter who you are."

"Boom." With the help of pinecon, the fire that was hugged by at least ten people was lit up with the torch thrown by Lina. The flames illuminated the central square of Angus Village under the night. The layout of the square was completely different from the previous two days.
In the center of the square is a huge fire, which is also the place where the ceremony was just held. Lina recited nearly ten minutes of prayer as usual, and then the villagers presented the goddess with a barrel of carefully brewed wine and all the crops grown in the village. When Lina accepted the gifts from the villagers on behalf of the goddess and the temple, gave back a large-scale magic to cure diseases and purify the magic, and ignited the flames representing the harvest, the three-day harvest ceremony officially ended, and the next was a carnival that lasted for several hours.
The outer edge of the giant fire is a circle of ten small fires. It is said that it is a small fire, but in fact it can also be accommodated for twenty or thirty people to sit around. Around the fire, the villagers take out their own dishes and exchange them for each other. As long as guests from other places take out food in exchange, they can join them to share dinner with the villagers and enjoy the joy of the end of the Harvest Festival.
A large stage was built in the east of the circle surrounded by ten small fires, and the annual beauty pageant was held there. Whether villagers or original tourists, as long as they were young girls and delivered fifty silver coins, they could participate. Through three rounds of selection, the champion was finally decided. The girls who became the champion could receive a mysterious gift prepared by the villagers. Last year's gift was a wheat ear-shaped silver head flower made by a skilled craftsman salvaged from a nearby lake. Although the price was not expensive, it was very memorable.
In the west of the circle, merchants from all over the world are showing the last madness of the year. All the goods have not been sold out gathered there to sell them in tears, and the price is much lower than usual. Of course, the light is poor at darkness, so it is hard to say whether they will buy fakes.
The south was temporarily converted into a small amusement park, and various entertainment competitions may appear here, including arm wrestling, archery, darts, sprinting, high jumping, boxing (testing strength against machines, non-fighting), etc., but there is an unwritten rule that professionals are not allowed to participate.
The last north is surrounded by a curtain, and it is said that a group of goblins are busy inside, making final preparations for the fireworks performance at 22 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Catherine, Vivian and Penis stood not far from the giant fire, looking at Lina with a smile and lit the fire seriously. After announcing the beginning of the carnival, she quickly replaced her serious priest robe and threw it into the hands of Mirac with a wry smile, and ran towards the three of them with a light smile.
Still in the familiar leather armor, or the familiar Lina. Lina's smile is no longer as solemn as at the ceremony, but is a joy from the heart.
"It's great that we can finally have a harvest festival together."
