Chapter 583: Inheritance of Culture and Beliefs

“Ha~”

The Midsummer Festival ends with the end of the banquet.

After the banquet at 9 o'clock, Ryan didn't even have time to do today's training, so he took Clow to the open-air bath to relax.

“Haha~”

Clow looked at Ryan, who was lying on the edge of the pond like a salted fish, and smiled gloatingly, "It seems very hard. It is the first time I know that the nobles will bring trivial disputes to the banquet to complain."

Ryan didn't say anything, and shook his head with a wry smile.

After the nobles had drawn out the basic principles for the next year from him, some lower-level nobles began to express the grievances they had suffered in the past six months with a hidden needle.

As Clow said, most of them were trivial disputes, but the nobles held guns and rods with each other and satirized their opponents. Fortunately, everyone still knew that they would maintain their cultivation in front of Duke Kane and did not start arguing.

"How do I feel..." Ryan sighed with a lot of laughter and crying, "Why is my job a bit like a cadre and aunt of the neighborhood committee?"

"Neighborhood committee? What is that?"

Ryan rolled his eyes at the curious baby, "Residents' Committee, what responsibility should you bear? You can guess from your name?"

...

When Ryan joked with Clow, a lot of people also collapsed in the women's bathroom next door.

"Woo~ It's so much..."

Luo Sai was sitting on the edge of the pool with his stomach covered in pain. Emma next to him looked helpless. Her grandmother really had no style as an elder.

Weita stood by the pool naked, wiping the water droplets on her body while watching the charming night view of the sea intoxicated.

"So beautiful...what are those lights placed in the sea?"

Weita refers to the large number of floating lights floating on the sea. The lights float near the sea of ​​Ordis Pier, which attracts the eye against the dark night sky.

This event is a repertoire of Ordis every year. In previous years, Vita never spent Midsummer in the sea. She was very curious about this scene.

Miltiolo smiled and explained, "It was a blessing ceremony, and the first one was when sailors prayed on Midsummer that the sea would be calm in the following year."

"As the times progressed, this prayer ceremony of sailors gradually expanded to all the residents along the coast."

"Now many people use this lantern to bless their future. Prayers include career, family, and friendship. This custom has even gradually spread to the tourists who visit every year."

Alisa and Lixia, who were exhausted by the pool, raised their heads and looked at the gradually lit sea surface with blurred eyes.

Sharon, who was massaging Alisa, could even vaguely hear the lively cheers coming from the port area with his keen hearing.

After Luo Sai recovered, he walked to the fence outside the open-air bath with his unmoved loli without any cover, looking at the bustling crowds in the port area, and a smile of nostalgia appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Although the meaning of blessings has changed, I am very glad that this custom has been passed down from 80 years ago to today, at least it proves that the people of Erebonia have not forgotten their past beliefs."

“Eh?”

Emma looked at her with some surprise, "Grandma, you said faith... Could it be that this ceremony is related to the elf faith?"

"Um~" Luosai held his hands in front of his barren chest, raised his head and nodded. "Miltilu girl didn't say it in full. The earliest prayer target for this blessing ceremony was the Sea Elf."

Luosai pointed to the direction of the commercial square and said, "Do you still remember the statue of Eding in the center of the square? That is the commemoration of the sea elves by the people of Haidu. In my memory, this statue has existed since the establishment of Ordis."

Yartina looked at the lights on the sea thoughtfully, and her eyes flashed with an emotion that she could not understand.

"Is the inheritance of ancient culture and faith... it is necessary to record it."

Qiya, who was rare to take a bath with everyone, curled her lips at the Black Rabbit next to her, but she soon let go of this and rushed towards Lixia's mother and Yalisa's mother who were still not recovering from fatigue.

...

June 19th, the second day of Midsummer

The nobles who stayed in the city hall last night left 6. Some of them would continue to stay in Haidu for the entire Midsummer Festival, and the other would return to their own territory and host activities in their respective villages and towns.

Ryan was woken up from bed by Qiya early in the morning. Fortunately, he was tired yesterday and did not go to Lixia's room, otherwise Qiya would have asked people everywhere if she couldn't find her father. Once the maid couldn't hold on... it would be embarrassing.

"Lian, get up! It's time for you to take us out for fun today~"

Ryan opened his hazy eyes and looked at Qiya who was screaming and jumping on his stomach and said helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes~ My little ancestor, you come down first, you will almost step out of the overnight meal."

"Ah! Ryan is so disgusting!"

Upon hearing this, Qiya hurriedly jumped off the bed, looking at Ryan with a vigilant look, worried that he would suddenly vomit.

Yartina half-squinted her eyes, looked at Qiya with contempt and complained, "Qiya Mao, Lord Reinhardt is obviously joking, it turns out that children are childish..."

"Who do you say is the child? A little rabbit who was born less than a year ago!"

"I will return this sentence to you intact."

Ryan interrupted the two little guys' bickering with laughter and cry. This familiar scene made him feel a little nostalgic.

"Okay, okay, it's a rare festival. Don't quarrel. I'm going to change my clothes. You go to the restaurant first and wait. We'll leave after breakfast."

"Okay~"

"learn."

...

Although it was the second day, the lively level of Ordis Street did not seem to be reduced at all.

When Ryan and Alisa, Sherron and Lisha went out with the two little guys, the crowd density on the street surprised everyone.

The normally deserted neighborhood of Noble Street is surrounded by a large number of tourists. The Ordis Cathedral is holding an open mass, and nuns are explaining the content and procedures of the special Midsummer Mass to the inquiring believers at the door.

Archbishop Brownfeet, the Archbishop of Lamar Diocese, also walked out of the church, and was praying for the devoted believers around him in a stern tone.

The reserved nobles who used to close the door also walked out of their homes and joined the mass in front of the Cathedral Square.

Some noble ladies who are rare to leave take this opportunity to express their feelings to each other on the bench by the square with the man they like.

"Hey?"

Alisa looked at the lively noble street and said with interest, "The noble street has become lively, I don't know what other neighborhoods will look like."

"It should be even more exaggerated." Ryan shrugged, then turned to Lixia and others and said, "According to the pre-booked plan, Alisha and I will go to the RF store in the Holy Land Courtyard to pick up the goods first. Shirron and Lixia, the two little guys will be handed over to you for the time being."

"No problem." Sherlock still maintained a smile, with a quipped look on her face and said, "Miss, please come on, Miss, Sherlock will encourage you behind your back."
