It was the day of midsummer in the year 834 of the Nese calendar.
In the Netheril Empire, every year on the longest day of the year, people in all lands stop what they are doing and start to revel.
This day is a holy day of the Amaunata Church. The believers indulge in joy, enjoy the sunshine, pray to their gods, and thank him for the gift that he has given to the world - sunshine.
Believers believe that if this day is not spent completely in celebration, Amaunata will withdraw the sun from the earth for a year.
Perhaps the original Midsummer Festival was just a carnival for the followers of Amauna Tower, but to this day, almost no one would refuse such a festive, lively and joyful day.
On this day, even Jergal's attendants - those fortune tellers who hide in dark corners all day long - will put on slightly festive clothes on this day. The reason is of course not the legendary relationship between Jergal and Amaunata.
There is a sincere friendship between them.
But Jergal does not have temples like Amaunator that can be found in almost all Netherese territories. Many of Jergal's followers live in Amaunator's temple next to the court all year round.
While the festival is in full swing on one side, there is no way the other side can be disappointed.
…
In the southern part of the empire, a wilderness far away from the core—the pioneering territory of Saville.
Savile Town is bustling with activity on Midsummer's Day, whether it's busy merchants, civilians in the territory, adventurers who have traveled a lot, or clergymen who walk out of the temple, dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking majestic.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.
Even some dwarf slaves put on brand new festive clothes with their master's permission. Today, Amenatash gave them a short period of freedom.
In Savile Square in the center of the town, the mages changed their past mysterious and cold image. Under the statue of Grand Arcanist Savile, they took off the hoods on their gray robes and took the initiative to release several magic fireworks into the sky.
.
Under the leadership of the mages, anyone present with the ability to cast spells would not refuse to throw a ball of magic fireworks into the sky.
Even if it is just a superficial trick, it will not attract the disdainful eyes of the mages, because on this day, they are not restricted by their status and can enjoy it as much as they want.
Two young people passing by the square happened to witness all this. One of them, a young man with black hair and black eyes, had eyes full of longing——
"Magic! When will I be able to do this?"
Regardless of his reverie, the blond companion next to him pushed him and said excitedly:
"Hey, Xia Duo, stop watching. The fireworks show lasts until night. We can also see it in the South District. Now let's go to the circus show. I heard that this time the Lion and Fire Circus brought a giant
Demon, I have never seen a troll in my whole life, and you haven't seen one either, right?"
Troll?
The black-haired and black-eyed Xia Duo smiled bitterly in his heart. If he hadn't traveled to this world, he wouldn't have been able to see dwarves, gnomes, elves, etc. How could he have seen a troll that not even Junior Neil had seen?
Yes, this young man named Xia Duo is a time traveler, and he is also wearing the legendary costume. Thinking about the stable life before the time travel, and then thinking about the fearful life in the past six months after the time travel, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little dazed——
Before time travel, he was an Internet writer. He still remembers that day when he finished writing his first novel "Civilization of Practice from Scratch". He had just uploaded the last chapter and was about to find a restaurant.
After rubbing it for a while, I didn't expect that my eyes suddenly went dark and I just traveled through time.
I don’t know how much time passed during this period, but Xia Duo felt that his eyes suddenly went dark and then brightened, and he came to a wilderness. He was really embarrassed at that time!
Suddenly coming from the earth to a completely unfamiliar place, writing a novel does not mean that he is really willing to travel through it in person. If he has a choice, he would rather give up such an opportunity. The country where he originally lived is prosperous and the people are safe.
With such a life, who would want to come to this precarious foreign world?
Yes, another world!
Almost immediately after Xia Duo traveled through time, he discovered that he was already in another world. He was not an expert and couldn't distinguish the vegetation, soil, etc., but the short creature with a broad face, a flat nose, pointed ears, and a big mouth
——
Aren’t they just goblins who are active in major games, novels, and movies?
Perhaps it was Xia Duo's sudden appearance that frightened it. The stray goblin screamed and ran away. Of course, what it didn't know was that Xia Duo was almost scared to the point of peeing.
Although in many novels and games, the combat power of goblins is set to be less than 5 points, and even an ordinary farmer can easily repel or even kill it, but in reality, if a goblin suddenly appears in front of you, who knows what it has.
How much fighting power.
Furthermore, how much fighting will Xia Duo has, who has always lived in a peaceful era, is another matter.
Fortunately, the goblin ran away on its own, so this embarrassing problem was avoided.
Of course, for Xia Duo now, 1 or 2 goblins are no match for him at all, and he has enough confidence in this.
After experiencing the panic in the early stages of time travel, Xia Duo quickly calmed down. He knew that there were more troubles waiting for him! The first thing to consider was survival.
Question: How should a modern person survive when he suddenly appears in the wilderness of another world?
At that time, Xia Duo even just wore a set of pajamas and a pair of slippers, and traveled across time unprepared. If he had known in advance that he was going to travel through time, he would have at least brought a kitchen knife.
Naturally, Xia Duo had little experience in surviving in the wild, but fortunately after frightening away the goblin, Xia Duo soon met an outsider, the father of the blond young man Xiao Neil next to him - Lao Ni
you.
That day, Old Neil went to the countryside to buy meat and discovered Xia Duo on the way. Xia Duo was also surprised that people from other worlds looked so similar to people on Earth. However, their existence was reasonable. Xia Duo did not dwell on this issue. Otherwise, why would he?
I can't tell if I can travel through time.
Xia Duo couldn't speak otherworldly languages, and Old Neil certainly couldn't speak any earth language like Chinese or English. The two of them argued for a long time before Xia Duo made Old Neil understand that he had been living in a foreign land due to an accident and needed help.
According to Xia Duo's later speculation, Old Neil probably thought he was a descendant of a certain nobleman who had fallen from power. His set of imitation silk pajamas was still a lot of points in the eyes of Old Neil, who only had linen clothes.
The patterns on it can only be processed by mages or elves!
Afterwards, Chateau followed Old Neil to Savile Town, the core of the Savile Territory, and helped Old Neil in his hotel.
In the past six months, Xia Duo learned the common language and determined that the world he was in was called Faerun. Of course, this was the name of the elves. Humans used to name the world they were in "the super large continent".
But its influence is far less than the name "Faerun".
Generally speaking, most people would be ashamed to call it a "super large continent". In an empire where all culture and art are aligned with the elves, wouldn't the name "Faerûn" be more beautiful——
