Chapter 1422 The Festival Is Coming!
Chapter 1422 The Festival Is Coming!
Qin An looked at the two girls kneeling on the ground. Their appearances were around sixteen or seventeen, but he didn't know how old they were! Moreover, the looks of these two people weren't inferior to Liu Ru's.
Ah, the Azure Sword Race's genes are really outstanding. There are so many handsome men and beauties in this race that they are a bit heartless.
'"Thank you princess for your kindness. Get up. There's no need to kneel in front of me in the future. I'm a man of the earth, not a cyan swordsman. Men of the earth respect women very much, so I will respect you as well! Respect your work."
Zhen Qing and Jia Xu were slightly stunned, and then they looked at each other with puzzled eyes.
So they're earthlings? Why? Why did Sister Zeng Huan assign them to take care of an Earth man? Still saying that it was the princess' order?
The two maids did not understand, but they still respectfully stood up and bowed to Qin An again.
'"Yes! I will follow your orders. Your Excellency, there is no pro-ceremony this morning. Only the opening ceremony of the Divine Origin Festival. The princess has chosen a good seat for you to watch. After you have breakfast, let us show you around, right?"
"Alright! I heard that the Azure Sword Race's Divine Origin Festival opening ceremony is very grand. I really want to see it!"
As he spoke, Qin An had already eaten breakfast impolitely and told jokes to the two maids, making them laugh all the time. Finally, he put down his guard.
Qin An seized the right opportunity and finally invited them to sit down and have breakfast together.
The two girls had never been treated like this before. It was too exaggerated to eat at the same table with a man!
On the other side of the princess' pavilion, Ling Hua stretched lazily and opened the window to look across.
There was an open window on the other side. In the room, Qin An was having dinner with two girls, chatting and laughing.
The female Sword God, who had not slept all night, frowned slightly and felt a trace of sadness in her heart.
"Humph! This brat!" Saying these four words softly, Ling Hua was not afraid of being heard by the other party.
Those with super vision would also have super hearing. Ling Hua had already hired a court mage to set up a formation on her showroom. First of all, the sound would not be transmitted. Then, the opponent's clairvoyance ability would not be effective when the window was closed.
"Huan'er, what did you eat?"
Zeng Huan was a little haggard, because like her family's princess, she had not slept all night.
"Oh, I asked the two girls to send some appetizer dried plum fruits, a few marinated dragon eggs, porridge, muffins, hot and sweet cakes!"
"Mm, it's just some ordinary food … Look at the sweet food they ate, it looks like delicious delicacies. Go inform the kitchen. This duke mainly eats the whole banquet!"
"Ah? Princess, the banquet?"
"What, I can't waste it once?"
"But the standard food for the banquet is twelve stir-fried vegetables, twenty-four spiced vegetables, forty-eight thick soups, ninety-six hot vegetarian dishes, one hundred and ninety-two hot meat dishes … Are we done?"
"If you can't finish eating, then give it to the palace people. It just so happens to improve their food!"
"But it will probably take a lot of time to cook these dishes. Shouldn't we attend the opening ceremony?"
Zeng Huan was very conflicted, not knowing why the princess went crazy.
Ling Hua's mouth curled up high, and she finally closed the window fiercely.
Yeah, and I have to attend the opening ceremony.
Hmph, didn't he just write a few thousand broken poems? What's so great about it!
"Alright, alright! Then let's prepare the same breakfast as they did! Also, ask Zhen Qing and Jia Xu to come back and tell them that they are not allowed to eat with men from Earth in the future, and they will lose face with me! Also, tell them that since he is a puppy, he is no more courteous than him. Speak rudely to me. It is good if he has any instructions to cooperate with him. However, he can't be too obedient in words. He must learn to lose his temper and be picky. For example, if he wanted to get some foot washing water, he would have them reply, "Hmph!" Do you still need to wash your feet? Can you afford to dirty our water? "
Zeng Huan's face was black.
"Miss, washing your feet is supposed to dirty the water!"
"I know, that's why I'm so mean! Just give him this order, I can't let him feel better! This princess won't be so easily bribed!"
As she spoke, Ling Hua inadvertently picked up the poem collection and fumbled for it twice before carefully placing it into her storage space.
On the Sword Spirit Star, many experts actually had storage space containers. This was like a backpack that they carried with them. However, ordinary space containers were very small and could not compare to Qin An's Heavenly Awakening Rings, which were now like several large warehouses.
…
After breakfast, Qin An, led by two maids, began to walk towards the venue of the Opening Ceremony.
While walking, the two maids introduced the customs of the Divine Origin Festival to Qin An.
"Actually, many races celebrate the Divine Origin Festival, but our Cyan Sword Race's Divine Origin Festival celebration is the most traditional and formal.
There was no uniform time standard on the Sword Spirit Star. The Sword Spirit Star was too large, and there were many suns and moons around it. They rotated in the outer orbit of the Sword Spirit Star, bringing about different phenomena day and night. For example, on the 167th continent we were on, we had to experience three suns, two moons, and a cloud of small stars for each universe sun and moon! So-called small star clouds are clouds that themselves emit light, A temperature, but very small, object, Together, they form a massive nebula that resembles the sun's effect, emitting blinding light as it passes through the sky. The ground takes five minutes to blinding, and we lie flat as the small star cloud passes, then block our eyes with our azure swords to protect them from damage.
This was just an example to show that the Star of the Sword Spirit was large, so the customs of the races in each region were naturally different.
Divine Primordial Festival is the day on which many creatures are born. This day of every great cycle represents the beginning of life.
Therefore, on such a day, we advocate life and refuse to slaughter. No slaughter is allowed in the territory of the Azure Sword Race. Only the strongest of the Azure Sword Race can punish those who do not abide by the rules.
The princess is the strongest person in our clan, so in principle, only Princess Ling Hua can kill during the past few days of the Azure Sword Clan's Divine Origin Festival.
The rest of us will be polite. Even if we have hatred, we will put it down first. Let's drink tea and chat. Maybe we don't need to fight with our lives after the Qingyuan Festival.
Women will also be respected. At least men will not cause trouble for women on the streets. Doing such a thing on the festival is equivalent to blasphemy!
In short, you will feel a joyful and kind, no one will be gloomy to you, even if you hide the sword in a smile, you will see smiling faces.
However, there was also a special situation, and that was the challenge at the Divine Origin Festival every year!
The Azure Sword Clansmen advocated martial arts and experts, so they would build a martial arts arena at the celebration for a few days. This arena was a life and death arena that they voluntarily signed up to participate in! In other words, the participants had to die in order to end the competition. This did not contradict the main body that respected life. This was because the martial artist was showing everyone the tenacity of life and the value of surviving! The kind of behavior that goes all out to compete for one's life is often the most impressive! Killing others on the arena of life and death would not attract hatred. Or was it because everyone who survived had also experienced the brink of death? Therefore, the life he had left behind was worthy of respect.
This year, the format of this tournament has changed, changing to Her Lady Princess' Dating Choice Husband Association! No matter how many rounds of elimination matches there were in the early stages, no matter how many finalists were born in the end, everyone had to step onto the final arena and use their strength to speak! He was afraid that the deceased would leave. If he didn't dare to fight to the death, then he wouldn't be qualified to become a princess. He wouldn't be able to become the future king of the Azure Sword Race!
Then there was another situation. If they were to leave the arena because they were afraid of death, they would be deemed to be blaspheming against the gods. They would be punished by having their limbs severed and their hands destroyed. From then on, they would be trapped on the street corner of the territory of the Azure Sword Race. They would be despised by others every day until they died!
"No one can endure this outcome, so once people enter the arena, even if they lose to their opponents, most of them will choose to die in battle. Only then will they be respected and worshiped!"
Qin An nodded slowly as he listened to the maidservant's narrative. He could understand this kind of endless duel.
The Sword Spirit Star was a special ability planet, and most races had powerful abilities. It was as if every country had the most advanced weapons.
As the saying goes, the word "martial" comes first, the world will naturally not be peaceful. It would be strange if there were no ways to release force between people.
Alright, he, Qin An, is ready. In order to cooperate with the Cyan Sword Clansmen, he is willing to risk his life.
Every man actually had blood in his body, so did Qin An. However, he was not the kind of person who always liked to talk about blood.
A real man should see the truth in matters. Qin An has done almost everything in his life without shame. He is not someone who can only rely on others to vent his anger.
As he spoke, the main venue had arrived. This was the poem writing meeting yesterday.
Yesterday, Qin An saw some people sitting in the audience seats with large swords stacked on top of each other. After a busy night, the seats had already taken shape, and many people were sitting on them.
More people were gathered nearby. They were walking towards the venue. Some of them were also spectators, while others were actors participating in the celebration.
Although Qin An entered the venue through a special passageway, he still felt the crowd around him when he entered. This reminded him of some of the scenic spots on the domestic holidays before the apocalypse. They were really crowded with people.
In the end, the two maids brought Qin An to a high platform at the southern front row of the venue. There was an independent chairman's viewing platform on this side, which was considered a VIP seat. It was much better than the environment outside.
To Qin An's surprise, there were only two people in this semi-closed viewing platform. They were Ling Hua and Zeng Huan, who were dressed in men's and women's clothes and had fake beards on their faces.
