The breaths that emerge on the bottom of the sea are the messengers from the sea. They prepared gifts and planned to visit Garth City during the celebration to engage in good-neighborly diplomacy—well, that's probably what they meant.

Naturally, Sui Xiong would not object. Just as he was about to say thank you, Weiye suddenly smiled and said, "It's better to ask them to wait a little longer. If you wait a little longer, the effect will be better."

Sui Xiong and Heimsala were both stunned. Should they "wait a little longer" to give gifts? And "better"

"Don't be pretentious, what's going on?" Sui Xiong asked.

Weiye smiled slyly: "Don't forget that I am the God of Celebrations. I can clearly foresee that some accidents will happen at today's celebration. If the messengers of congratulations are asked to wait for a while, they will not appear until the critical moment. , the effect will be very good, unexpectedly good!”

Hemsala looked at Sui Xiong.

Sui Xiong nodded.

So he sent a message again, asking the envoys who were about to set off to wait a little longer for his news.

Time passed little by little, and the float slowly arrived at the square, passed through the temporary arch amid the cheers of the crowd, and stopped in front of the lively hosting stage although it was not luxurious.

Lei rarely changed into a formal suit. The pure black knight's dress was full of mysterious and noble temperament. Combined with his handsome face, strong figure and heroic temperament, people couldn't help but shine. When he stood up to deliver his speech, countless women in the audience looked at him dreamingly, wanting to eat him up.

Since entering the legendary realm, Lei's appearance has been slowly changing. In general, he looks younger and younger, and more handsome and heroic. Completely different from the despondent bandit who was forcibly taken as a mount by Sui Xiong. Now he is high-spirited and full of energy, completely worthy of his status as a prince.

He did not make a long speech, but simply recalled the decline of Gars City when it was in ruins, thanked everyone for their efforts over the past year, and looked forward to the future, firmly believing that tomorrow would be better.

To be honest, this sentence is not very sensational, but it speaks to the hearts of the residents of Gars City.

Everyone worked hard for more than a year, building brick by brick from the almost desperate situation, and finally rebuilt the ruins into a town. Even if I don’t say it with my mouth, I always feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart. At this moment, Lei's speech suddenly aroused everyone's thoughts.

The past prosperity, the past desolation, the past depression... little by little changes, little by little development, looking back, every bit of sweat has left deep traces, looking forward to the future, prosperity and prosperity are just around the corner!

I don’t know who started it first, but the people in the square cheered.

Many people were crying with cheers, and they were so excited that they could not help themselves. For a moment, the cheers shook the sky, and a high-spirited passion rushed into the sky like a substance, making all the gods who were paying attention here look at it.

They seemed to be able to see that Gars City was like a traveler who had been seriously injured. He had generally recovered and was sitting by the bed packing his bags, preparing to set off again.

He was once bruised and hobbled, but now he is almost fully recovered; he was once depressed and listless, but now he is spirited and high-spirited.

"Gars City will definitely be revived," Sui Xiong said.

"Yes, I can see it." The corner of Weiye's mouth raised slightly, revealing a playful smile, "It's just... maybe too many people can see it, which is not a good thing!"

After the cheers, it was the turn of the real city owner, Miss Cassali Riley, to give a speech.

This girl, who is famous on the East Coast for her beautiful appearance, had been looking at Lei infatuatedly just now. Especially when his speech made the audience burst into cheers, she was even more excited and even had tears in her eyes. . It was even more endearing to come on stage with tears at this moment.

She is not as concise and direct as Lei, nor does she have the same prestige as Lei, but her peerless beauty alone has powerful persuasive power. Especially when she thanked everyone with tears in her eyes, thanking everyone for still being willing to believe in the Riley family after experiencing drastic changes, and uniting together to fight for the revitalization of Garth City, it made countless passionate men feel excited* *,passionate.

For such an innocent and lovely girl, let alone working hard, even if it costs their lives!

After the speeches of the consul and the city lord, the local religious leaders were not invited to the stage to speak as usual.

The Church of the Harvest Goddess, which was originally dominant in Gars City, suffered heavy losses in that war. Even the Harvest Goddess herself lost an incarnation. During this period, they have been keeping a low profile and not much in the limelight.

Of course, even if they wanted to be in the limelight, Lei wouldn't agree to it!

The Church of the God of Wealth, which had exerted a lot of effort in the reconstruction of Gars City and provided a large number of loans, did not come to power. The God of Wealth is not good at fighting. Even if the Harvest Goddess suffered a heavy blow, He would not have the confidence to confront this veteran god. It's just a matter of poaching a few corners by spreading money. The purpose of giving a speech at this moment is to compete for the core beliefs of Gars City. That means completely falling out with the Harvest Goddess - don't forget, Gars City was once almost completely controlled by the Harvest Goddess Church. For the Harvest Goddess, the belief in this city has a very special meaning and cannot be interfered with by others!

As for other churches, they had never thought about competing for the dominant position in the religious circles of Gars City, and certainly would not have come to the forefront of the storm themselves.

The Church of the Swamp God is very interested. This god has always been obsessed with the city of Gars. Last time, he fought with the Harvest Goddess to fight for it. In the end, both sides suffered losses, which shows how determined his attitude is. But since the last war, the Church of the Swamp God has turned from bright to dark. I don’t know where it is hiding or what it is doing. Even the God of Swamp himself didn't know where he was. The God of Justice inquired about it, but he didn't get any valuable information.

Therefore, the church lecture was skipped directly. Lei waved his hand and announced that the entertainment time would now begin!

What is entertainment

Singing, dancing, eating, drinking and having fun, that's pretty much it.

The most important thing is "eat"!

Lei was very well prepared. Dozens of chefs were busy beside the square. The freshly baked bread was hot, the ale without water was fragrant and delicious, and the smell of barbecued meat and stewed fish made people salivate.

Not only that, there are also fresh fruits and vegetables here, and there are strong men guarding juicers, who can help interested people squeeze them for drinking on the spot. Fresh seafood is also available, so you can eat as much as you want.

What is particularly special are the several small round pots. The fire under the pots is not big, just enough to keep the soup in the pots boiling slightly. Next to it were slices of various foods, watched over by waiters, offering pre-prepared condiments to those willing to try them. Under their guidance, people used tongs made of small wood chips to hold the food, soak it in the boiling soup for a period of time, take it out when it was just cooked, dip it in the condiments, and then put it into their mouths hot. inside.

This way of dining that had never been seen before attracted so many people that Steele, who was in charge of the catering work, hurriedly redeployed manpower and added several additional soup pots, many wooden tongs, a large number of dishes, and a few additional instructors. Dining waiter.

"This way of eating is very special. I have never seen it before." Veyer changed into the appearance of an ordinary adventurer and went over to get some food. He had a very discerning eye and chose the most tender and delicious high-quality meat. , it was boiled just right, and when I took one bite, I immediately smiled and praised it.

"That's great! I wonder which chef invented it... he's such a genius!"

Sui Xiong smiled slightly and raised his head proudly.

"Is it you?" Wei Ye immediately understood his hint and was so surprised that he almost dropped the food in his mouth. He stared at the proud Sui Xiong in stunned silence, unable to believe his eyes.

"How come you, a jellyfish, know how to cook?!"

"Who stipulates that jellyfish can't learn cooking? Let me tell you, I know a lot of things!" Sui Xiong laughed arrogantly, "I also understand space and light and shadow, sketching and simple drawings, and art. Understand the symbolism of color and emotional expression, understand art appreciation, understand the various main manifestations of ancient culture in painting, understand visual language, morphological research, human body sketch, surveying and design, sculpture and decoration... I tell you , in fact, the most suitable priesthood for me is the God of Art!"

Weiye nodded blankly. He could understand the words Sui Xiong said separately, but he couldn't understand them together.

It can't be said that he doesn't understand. He can still understand the general concept without guessing, but he never imagined... How could Sui Xiong, a jellyfish, know so many artistic things? !

Although the mermaids in the deep sea are rich in artists, they are also rich in musicians and singers. Even if they are sculptors, I have never heard of painters!

"Do you want to be the God of Art?" After a while, He came to his senses and asked in a low voice, "This position has been taken by someone else. You must either share it with Him or prepare for war... Are you sure you want to do this? ?”

"It's just casual talk, don't take it seriously." Sui Xiong laughed loudly, "Come on, come on, eat more!"

"Yeah! Eat more!" Heimsala dipped a large handful of vegetables into his mouth that had been dipped in countless seasonings and turned into a piece of bright red. His saliva and sauce splashed all over the place. It was really a bad sight. Evil appearance.

Weiye rolled his eyes, wiped off the sauce splashed on his face, and hurriedly took two steps to the side, staying away from this ugly-looking guy.

However, if you look closely, you will see that most of the diners are not looking very good. This kind of condiment that contains the taste of Sui Xiong's memory is spicy and delicious. When you eat it, it is like a rush of hot air rushing upwards. I don't know how many people have tears and runny noses flowing out, and their foreheads are dripping with sweat.

But they had no intention of giving up. While laughing at each other's ugly eating habits, they opened their cheeks and ate and drank.

Not far away, minstrels were performing cheerful performances, and a few clowns were also making jokes here and there. The atmosphere in the square was extremely lively.

"It's almost time." Wei Ye secretly estimated in his mind, lowered his head, and smiled slyly, "It's time for the guy who wants to die to jump out."

Sure enough, just as he estimated, just when everyone was happily and lively, a voice that was completely inconsistent with the atmosphere sounded.

"Miss Riley, on this occasion of harvest, shouldn't you lead everyone in praying to the Lady of Plenty (the Harvest Goddess) to thank her for her gifts?"
