When the newly planted microgreens were blooming outside the town of Pyrrophyllum, Reif received a special order.
"Join the exchange group and stay at Mask of the Void Amusement Park for how many days?" He repeated the supervisor's words in a daze, not understanding what it meant.
He could understand every word the overseer said, but when the words were put together, he didn't understand.
Exchange group? what is that
Why do you want to join an "exchange group"? Why go to Mask of the Void Amusement Park to stay for a few more days
The young magician who was the supervisor saw his confused look and explained with a smile: "Teacher... No, the mayor plans to organize an exchange group to visit the Mask of the Void Amusement Park. The first is to give everyone a goal and let everyone know that we are going to How is the construction of Pyroxene Town going? Secondly, an important ceremony will be held at the Mask of the Void Playground recently. As an outstanding worker in this town, the mayor thinks you are qualified to visit this ceremony."
Only then did Reif understand what was going on. He thought about it and then asked, "What kind of ceremony is it?"
The supervisor recalled it, and looked a little confused: "The mayor said it was called a 'retirement ceremony', but I don't understand what it means specifically."
Don't say that he doesn't understand. In fact, even Felix, the mayor of Huishi Town, doesn't know very well either.
She only knew that His Majesty the Mask of the Void had requested that both the amusement park and Pyroxene Town should collect the age statistics of workers. Once a worker reaches the age of fifty, he should be notified and a retirement ceremony will be held to commend these workers. People who devoted their youth to the construction of the territory.
... But even if Mask of the Void Amusement Park was built, it has only been under construction for less than 20 years. Even if someone is over fifty years old, they only came to work in their thirties. How can it be said to be "youth"
What Qiao Xiu is confused about is another aspect: Even if there are workers over fifty years old, so what? No matter where the tradition is, unless a worker can no longer work, he must continue working no matter how old he is. And if you really can't do it anymore, you will naturally be fired and your financial source will be cut off.
His Majesty, Mask of the Void, specially held a retirement ceremony. What does "retirement" mean? Literally, it should mean "to take a break from work," right? It's so good, who wants not to work? If you leave your job, you will have no income!
Could it be that... His Majesty, Mask of the Void, wants to give some subsidies to these elderly people who have lost the ability to work? Of course, this is not a bad idea. Just like in their tribe back then, when there was enough food, they would also give it to the old people who were unable to work. But isn’t it a common thing? Why do we need to hold a special ceremony
Similarly, many people have speculations and doubts of this kind. No one knows what this ritual means, and no one knows what His Majesty the Mask of the Void is planning to do.
Except for Mrs. Teague, who was actually in charge of it.
"Your Majesty Mask of the Void, I have to admit that you are the most benevolent and generous god I have ever seen!" She looked at the document compiled by Sui Xiong himself, full of emotion and excitement, and even her hands were trembling, " Such a system...such an approach...I never thought of it..."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning." Sui Xiong casually said something that was not very appropriate, and looked at the square where the high platform was being built with a smile, "If you get started, it will be easier in the future, just follow the example."
"However, there are so many kind gods, but no one has thought of your method."
"Everyone has different ideas. It doesn't necessarily mean that I am particularly smart." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "If I have to say what makes me more advanced than them, it is probably... I stand on the shoulders of giants."
"The shoulders of giants?"
Sui Xiong laughed again, not bothering to explain this allusion from Newton, the great scientist on earth, and said: "After today, this method will be widely learned by all the kind gods. I can be regarded as making a contribution to the progress of the world. Just a small contribution."
"This contribution is not insignificant at all!"
"Haha! I just did a little bit of work..." Sui Xiong laughed and laughed, planning to add "I'm so ashamed" before the words and "Thank you everyone" after the ceremony.
Anyway, he has traveled to another world, and no one understands his meme that has been used so much by netizens on earth, anyway...
He was suddenly startled and remembered something.
In this world, there is an ancient elf temple in the Ancient Forest, which is said to be the birthplace of the goddess of life. The temple is old and dilapidated, but every brick and tile is so strong that even those with great supernatural powers cannot shake it at all. There is a spring of life in the temple. Next to the spring lives an immortal old sage who looks like a frog and is respected as the "Elder Frog". It is said that this old sage also chatted and laughed with the goddess of life in those days, and his level was unknown. Many living beings in the world of mortals were lucky enough to see him, drink his longevity wine, and listen to his stories.
When he first heard about this incident, he had always wanted to pay a visit to this senior who was filled with a wonderful sense of sight. However, over the years, things happened one after another and he forgot about it.
Anyway, I'm free now, and there are still a few days until the retirement ceremony, so why not take advantage of the moment and send an avatar to go there!
He is now very capable of action. Once he makes up his mind, he will immediately put it into practice. So this incarnation hurriedly said goodbye, jumped up and turned into a ray of light. In an instant, it flew across thousands of rivers and mountains, and arrived at the Geerten Territory. It flew high into the sky again, racing against the strong wind in the high altitude filled with strong magical energy, and soon flew there. Ancient forest.
But... where is the ancient elf temple
Looking at the seemingly endless green forest below, extending to the horizon, he fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, he gave up decisively and contacted Veyer directly.
"Vie, do you know where the ancient elf temple is?"
Weiye was stunned, then thought for a while and said: "The location of that temple is not fixed and moves frequently. I don't know where it is now."
"Then is there any way you can find it?"
"Of course there is. There is a special spell that is used to find this temple." Wei Ye said and sent the information about the spell to Sui Xiong. "This is one of the spells inherited by the elves. The strong men of the elves We often use this spell to go to the temple, one to worship and the other to ask for advice... By the way, if you suddenly want to go to the ancient elf temple, are you also trying to find out something from the immortal elder?"
Sui Xiong smiled: "I'm just curious."
As he spoke, he studied the uncomplicated information and quickly cast the spell.
As the spell was completed, green light gradually rose and turned into a small signpost, pointing in a certain direction.
Sui Xiong immediately flew in the direction of the road sign, but strangely enough, the direction of the road sign began to change slowly. If he hadn't fixed the road sign on his body, he might have taken the wrong path.
Sui Xiong was not confused by the change in the direction of the road sign, and flew firmly in the direction pointed by the road sign. After a while, a green light suddenly bloomed in front of his eyes. Then when the green light dissipated, he came to an old but neat and full of Inside the temple with a sense of vicissitudes of life.
This temple is a wood and stone structure. It is not exquisitely built, but it has a harmonious beauty. There are many plants in the temple. They seem to have grown here originally, and they are perfectly integrated with the buildings to form a natural and harmonious whole.
The temple was not big. Sui Xiong flew in it for a while, turned two corners, passed through a main hall, and saw a square shrouded in emerald green light. In the center of the square, a green tree like a huge vine towered into the sky, and its crown spread, covering the entire temple. Under the tree, there is a clear spring. In the center of the spring, there is a statue of a smiling girl holding a small vase in her hands, and water is spraying out of the vase.
Water mist filled the air, blending with the green light, giving off a fresh breath. Just by smelling this breath, Sui Xiong felt calmer. He couldn't help landing on the ground with a smile, and slowly walked towards the spring.
"Elder Frog, where are you?" As he walked, he looked for the legendary immortal sage, but he looked left and right, but couldn't find anyone who looked like a sage.
When he walked all the way to the spring, he suddenly heard a smile coming from the spring: "I'm right here."
Sui Xiong was stunned. He looked down and saw a miniature frog, no more than the size of a thumb, lying on the water, floating and sinking, with a pair of old glasses on his eyes, which looked really weird.
Is this the elder frog? It’s too small!
The frog wearing glasses obviously saw his doubts, and jumped up with a smile and jumped to a branch nearby. I didn't know where to take out a surprisingly small tea cup, and there was actually a cup of hot tea in it. It smiled and took a sip, and then asked: "Does size matter?"
Sui Xiong thought for a while and shook his head.
He's not here to fight, size doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, he also smiled and transformed into something about the same size as the frog. He flew to a tree branch that was unimaginably huge for them and sat down on it.
"I've wanted to come and visit you for a long time, but I've never had the time." He said, "I didn't come until today."
"So, now that you see me," the frog said with a smile, "what do you think?"
Sui Xiong thought for a long time and sighed: "It's very ordinary."
The frog laughed loudly: "I am very ordinary."
"I originally thought that you would be a huge mythical beast. Or maybe even though you are a frog, you wear a robe and a cane like a scholar, live in a wooden house full of books, and wear a tall hat. With a snow-white beard..."
"Hahaha! How can there be such a frog!"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, there is no frog like that. It's just me who thinks too much."
The frog nodded and suddenly asked: "So, what do you think a jellyfish should look like?"
Sui Xiong was stunned and looked down at himself.
"Do you think you are a jellyfish or a human?" the frog asked again.
Sui Xiong frowned and replied subconsciously: "I... am still a human being."
"Then why do you look like a jellyfish?"
"… convenient."
The frog smiled and took out another cup of tea from somewhere and handed it to him.
Sui Xiong took the tea cup and took a sip. Before he could say anything, he saw the scene in front of him shaking. In a flash of green light, the temple, big trees and frogs disappeared without a trace. Only he was floating in the vast jungle. Among them, even the teacup in his hand disappeared.
He thought for a while and cast the spell to find the ancient elf temple again, but this time the green arrow was spinning rapidly and randomly, unable to point out a clear direction at all.
Sui Xiong pondered for a long time, and finally smiled up at the sky, flew into the sky, and flew towards the Mask of the Void amusement park.
"Elder Frog, next time I'm free, I'll come to you for tea!"
