Chapter 623 Celebration
"Does the Frost Priest have to work as a part-time chef besides the doctor and the prophet?" Kahn sneered: "I dare not eat what has passed by your hands."
The Frost Priest smiled unconsciously, scooped a bowl of hot soup and took a sip. Then he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "There are so many mouths in the fortress, except for Frost Guards and priests. Someone must be responsible for the diet, otherwise it will be messed up."
"What are you celebrating tonight?" Kahn asked.
“Harvest Festival, celebrates Enivia’s flight over this land and brings winter.”
People believe that the arrival of winter is caused by the cold current caused by the migration of the ice crystal phoenix Ainivia over Freljord, shaking her wings. Ainivia is a symbol of winter.
In order to celebrate the arrival of winter, long ago, the gathered tribes would use this as the beginning of the festival, so there was a Harvest Festival.
This festival is always the greatest celebration of all tribes in the year, and the last celebration before the cold winter covers the earth. As the brazier is lit, cheers resound through the frosty hillsides, people pray for the blessings of the three sisters.
However, this place is not the most festive atmosphere. The Mother of the Frost Corner Tribe left several Blood Alliances who ranked second to manage the base for her and arranged the celebration. She went to the Winter Claw's station to attend the celebration. The tribes such as Scars, Ice Teeth, and Gate Teeth also gathered there, and it was obvious that the celebrations held there were larger.
The Blood Alliance is a couple. In Freljod, who pursues the matriarchal society, a war mother can sign a blood alliance oath with multiple men. She supports each other on weekdays and sleeps with a big tent, but once she encounters life and death, she is bound by a vow, the Blood Alliance warrior needs to swear to protect the war mother to the death.
"What's the point of celebrating winter? Shouldn't it be better to celebrate spring? And the harvest season is over."
Kahn still doesn't understand. Although there are festivals all year round, winter is not related to the harvest. Moreover, Frelljord is very close to the extreme, and winter is particularly long, with heavy snow covering the sky. It's impossible to hunt without harvest for so long. If the food stored is not enough, it will definitely be difficult to bear.
The Frost Priest shook his head gently and elongated his voice and replied, "This is a bad word."
"The arrival of the long winter gives all things time to recuperate. People no longer have to run around for food and risk their lives to fight against the sky and people. As long as you prepare enough firewood in advance, you can stay at home and drink and eat meat and reproduce. When winter passes, the ice and snow melt and the herds appear on the earth again. Isn't this a great gift?"
"Obviously this is a natural law..."
After listening to it, Kahn's brain automatically transformed into the meaning of taking maternity leave after high-intensity and high-risk work. After all, the Frelljords are not made by steel, and no one can stand it when running around in the cold and cold every day. However, for so long, the only entertainment is for men and women to love each other, so the children probably have to be idle...
Before he knew it, he thought of a strange place. Kahn felt very disappointed when he saw the black face of the Frost Priest who had not washed ink for many years.
He pulled away, and was noticed by the Frost Priest, and then he reminded him.
"It will be very cold later tonight, don't wake up by the cold."
"Oh." Kahn responded casually, and passed by the bonfire and picked up the ivory cup to decorate Enuk's milk jelly and brought it back. The texture was very similar to the yogurt he had eaten before.
The crowd cheered around the brazier, repeating the same syllables constantly.
"They are celebrating the arrival of winter. In the Freljords' perception, the winter solstice is the most important day of the year. Now they are calling for the blessings of the three sisters."
Kahn, who came back, told Kasha what he had found, and handed the ivory cup filled with milk jelly to Anne. The little guy licked it in an attempt to make his eyebrows so sore that his eyebrows were twisted together, and then the second and third mouthfuls became more and more popular.
"Let's celebrate the carnival before winter."
Kasha no longer waited and set up a bonfire on the edge of the crowd with Kahn, grilled raw meat, and did it well. Kahn was responsible for barbecuing, while Kahn helped sprinkle sprinkle sprinkles on the skewers, and the fragrance spreads everywhere. The children next door... came over and had to leave a few skewers.
The Freljods are definitely not as good as those from Shurima when they use spices.
As soon as Annie finished licking the jelly, her hands were stuffed with barbecue. Then Kasha took the skewers to feed Kahn. No one cared about her, and she could eat her mouth full of oil.
Then Kahn stewed a few sweet potatoes with red-hot stones, and the couple snuggled together to feed each other's melons. The scene was quite greasy.
After eating, it was their turn to drink enough. They put the milk wine into ivory cups and sipped in small sips, and the campfire draped them with flashing amber. Kasha and Kahn leaned against each other's shoulders, looking up at the night sky.
Above their heads, the sky presented an endless beautiful scenery, and the gauze-like gauze gently caresses the moon and the cradle-like stars around them. The dawn night sky turned into a sea of sky.
"The scene that can only be seen in the polar regions is so beautiful."
Kahn looked at the rippling light at the sky and replied without hesitation: "You said the aurora? This is the solar wind that acts on..."
"You..." Kasha sent out a crisp syllable, and Kahn shut his mouth wisely, knowing that if he continued to talk, he would break the romantic atmosphere.
Unfortunately, I have Annie, the light bulb, or I can make a comeback and say something I usually embarrassed to say.
After a while, Kahn looked at the surging aurora in the sky, and in a trance, he seemed to see the light woven into a colorful eel, which made him think of the sea croaker that he had not had time to swallow. It was such a pity.
"Do you have nothing to say?" Kasha suddenly asked.
Kahn was thinking about something else, but after holding it in for a while, his head was empty. He said silly: "The night is so beautiful tonight."
Although they were facing each other's backs and could not see each other's expressions, Kahn still felt a small loss lingering around him, which gave him a headache.
The celebration continued, and the laughter of people echoed under the night sky. Anne, who had eaten and drunk enough, was finally sleepy and returned to the tent to fall asleep. Kahn remembered the words of the Frost Priest and covered her with a thick blanket, revealing her sweet little face outside.
But Kasha was about to sleep, and she was so depressed that she got into the quilt and buried her head in.
It's just that I can't hide my thoughts.
Seeing her like this, Kahn leaned over and said, "Kasha, do you know why aurora appears in the sky?"
"I don't want to listen, I'm going to sleep."
Kahn suddenly showed a sure-win smile, ignored her words and continued, "The phenomenon will only occur when the wind blows from the sun comes to the north and south poles of the planet. Do you know what this means?"
Kasha didn't say anything because she didn't understand. She didn't know why the sun blew the wind, nor why the wind would shine when it hits the polar sky.
Kahn continued to say only outside the bed, his voice softly: "This means we have come to the end of the world together."
Kasha lifted the blanket down, revealing a pair of purple eyes that suddenly realized, and Kahn's lips just fell on her forehead, and she kissed her affectionately.
"Good night, my light."
