The breath that emerged from the bottom of the sea was from the messengers in the sea. They prepared gifts and planned to visit Gars City during the celebration to carry out good-neighborly and friendly diplomacy — well, that was probably what they meant.
Sui Xiong naturally would not object. When he was about to thank him, Javier suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you let them wait a little longer? The effect will be better if they wait a little longer."
Sui Xiong and Heimsarah were stunned. "Wait a little longer" to give gifts? And "the effect will be better"?
"Don't keep us guessing. What is going on?" Sui Xiong asked.
Javier smiled slyly and said, "Don't forget that I am the God of Celebration. I can clearly foresee that there will be some accidents in today's celebration. If you let the congratulatory messengers wait a little longer and appear at the critical moment, the effect will be very good, unexpectedly good! "
Heimsarah looked at Sui Xiong.
Sui Xiong nodded.
So he sent out another message to let the messengers who were ready to leave wait a little longer and wait for his message.
Time passed little by little, and the float slowly came to the square. In the cheers of the crowd, it drove through the temporarily built arch and stopped in front of the host stage, which was not luxurious but also very lively.
It was rare for Ray to change into a formal attire. The pure black knight's attire was full of a mysterious and noble temperament. Coupled with his handsome face, fit figure, and extraordinary temperament, he couldn't help but make people's eyes light up. When he stood up to give a speech, many women under the stage looked at him with infatuation, and they almost wanted to eat him up.
Since stepping into the legendary realm, Ray's appearance had been slowly changing. In general, he looked younger and more handsome. Completely different from the depressed robber who was forced to be a mount by Sui Xiong, he was now high-spirited and energetic, completely worthy of his identity as a prince.
He did not give a long speech, but simply recalled the withering of Gars City when it was a ruin, thanked everyone for their efforts in the past year, and looked forward to the future, believing that tomorrow would be better.
To be honest, this speech was not very sensational, but it was exactly what the residents of Gars City were thinking.
Everyone worked hard for more than a year, from the almost desperate situation at the beginning, brick by brick, tile by tile, and finally rebuilt the former ruins into a town. Even if they did not say it, they always felt a sense of achievement. At this moment, Ray's speech immediately evoked everyone's thoughts.
Once prosperous, once abandoned, once desolate … Bit by bit, it changed and developed bit by bit. Looking back, every drop of sweat left a deep mark. Looking forward to the future, prosperity and prosperity were just around the corner!
No one knew who started it, but the people in the square all started cheering.
Many people's cheers were accompanied by sobs, and they were so excited that they could not control themselves. For a moment, the cheers shook the heavens, and a surge of high-spirited passion seemed to soar into the clouds, causing all the gods who were paying attention to this place to cast sidelong glances at them.
They seemed to be able to see that Gars City was like a traveler who had been seriously injured. At this moment, he had mostly recovered and was sitting on the bed packing his luggage, preparing for his next departure.
He had once been covered with cuts and bruises, but now he was almost fully recovered. He had once been depressed and listless, but now he was full of spirit and fighting spirit.
"Garth City will definitely be revived," Sui Xiong said.
"Yeah, I can see that." Javier slightly raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a playful smile. "It's just … maybe too many people can see that, and it's not a good thing!"
After the cheers, it was the turn of the real owner of the city, Miss Casali Riley, to give a speech.
The girl who was famous for her beautiful appearance on the East Coast had been staring at Ray in a daze, especially when his speech had caused the audience to burst into thunderous cheers. She was indescribably excited, and even tears appeared at the corners of her eyes. At this moment, she went on stage with tears, which was even more lovable.
She was not as concise as Ray, who spoke directly to people's hearts, and did not have such high prestige, but her peerless beauty itself had a strong 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 the upheaval, uniting together and fighting for the rejuvenation of Garth City, it made countless hot-blooded men feel excited and their blood was boiling.
For such an innocent and lovely girl, not to mention working hard, even if she wanted their lives, it would not be a problem!
After the speeches of the governor and the owner of the city, they did not follow the usual practice of inviting the local religious leaders to give speeches on stage.
The Church of the Goddess of Harvest, which originally dominated Garth City, had suffered heavy losses in that war, and even the Goddess of Harvest herself had lost an incarnation. During this time, they had been very low-key and did not want to be in the limelight.
Of course, even if they wanted to be in the limelight, Ray would not agree!
And the Church of the God of Wealth, which had made great efforts in the process of the reconstruction of Garth City and provided a lot of loans, did not come on stage. The God of Wealth was not a god good at fighting. Even if the Goddess of Harvest was seriously injured, he did not have the confidence to fight against this old god. It was okay to use money to poach people, but at this moment, to give a speech on stage was to compete for the core faith of Garth City. That meant completely turning against the Goddess of Harvest. Don't forget, Garth City was once a city almost completely controlled by the Church of the Goddess of Harvest. For the Goddess of Harvest, the faith of this city had a very special meaning, and she would not allow others to touch it!
As for other churches, they had never thought about competing for the dominant position in the religious world of Garth City, and of course, they would not run to the heart of the struggle themselves.
The Church of the God of Marsh was very interested. This god had always been thinking about Garth City. Last time, they fought with the Goddess of Harvest for it, and finally, both sides were defeated. It could be seen how resolute their attitude was. But since the last war, the Church of the God of Marsh had been hiding in the dark. No one knew where they were hiding, and no one knew what they were doing. Even the God of Marsh himself did not know where he was. The God of Justice had specially inquired about it, but he did not get any valuable information.
Therefore, the part of the church's speech was skipped directly. Ray waved his hand and announced that the entertainment time was now starting!
What was entertainment?
Singing, dancing, eating, drinking, and playing. That was roughly it.
The most important thing was "eating"!
Ray was very well prepared. Dozens of chefs were busy next to the square. The freshly baked bread was hot, the undiluted ale was mellow and delicious, and the smell of barbecue and stewed fish was so delicious that people almost drooled.
Not only that, there were also fresh fruits and vegetables here, and there were strong men guarding the juicers, who could help people who were interested to make juice on the spot and drink it. Fresh seafood was freely available, and it was not a problem to eat as much as one wanted.
In particular, there were several small round pots. The fire under the pots was not big, and it was just enough to keep the soup in the pot slightly boiling. Next to the pots were all kinds of food cut into pieces, and there were some waiters who were looking after them, providing the seasonings prepared in advance for those who were willing to try. Under their guidance, people used tongs made of small pieces of wood to hold the food, and soaked it in the boiling soup for a period of time. When it was just cooked, they took it out and dipped it in the seasonings, and then put it into their mouths while it was hot.
This way of eating, which had never been seen before, attracted a lot of people, so that Steele, who was in charge of the catering work, hurriedly transferred people to add a few extra soup pots, a lot of wooden tongs, a large number of dishes, and several waiters to guide people eating.
"This way of eating is very special. I have never seen it before." Javier transformed into the appearance of an ordinary adventurer and went over to get a few portions of food. His taste was very sharp. He chose the most tender and delicious meat of the best quality. The meat was also cooked just right. As soon as he took a bite, he immediately beamed with joy and praised the food.
"It's great! I don't know which chef invented it … He is really a genius! "
Sui smiled and proudly raised his head.
"It's you?" Javier immediately understood his hint, and was so surprised that he almost dropped the food in his mouth. He looked at Sui, who was very proud of himself, and could not believe his eyes.
"You are a jellyfish, how can you know cooking?!"
"Who said that jellyfish can't know cooking? Let me tell you, I know a lot of things! " Sui Xiong laughed proudly. "I also know space, light, sketches, and simple strokes, the symbolism of art, the expression of color and emotion, the appreciation of art, the various main manifestations of ancient culture in painting, visual language, morphological research, human body sketches, mapping and design, sculpture, and decoration … Let me tell you, in fact, the most suitable priesthood for me is the God of Art!"
Javier nodded blankly. He could understand what Sui Xiong said separately, but he could not understand it when it was put together.
It was not that he did not understand, and he could roughly understand the concept by guessing. But he could not imagine … how could a jellyfish like Sui Xiong know so many things about art?!
Although the mermaid race in the deep sea was rich in artists, they were rich in musicians and singers, and at most there were sculptors. They had never heard of painters!
"You want to be the God of Art?" After a while, he reacted and asked in a low voice, "This priesthood has been taken by someone else. You can either share it with him or prepare to fight … Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." Sui Xiong laughed. "Come on, eat more!"
"Yes! Eat more! " Heimsarah stuffed a large handful of vegetables that had become bright red, which had been dipped in countless seasonings into his mouth. His saliva and sauce splashed everywhere, and he looked really evil.
Javier rolled his eyes, wiped off the sauce on his face, and hurriedly moved two steps to the side, distancing himself from this ugly guy who was eating.
However, if one looked carefully, the diners' table manners were not very good. This kind of seasoning, which contained the taste of Sui Xiong's memory, was spicy and delicious, and it was like a rush of hot air in the mouth. Many people had tears and snot flowing out, and their foreheads were dripping with sweat.
But they did not intend to give up at all. While laughing at each other's ugly table manners, they opened their cheeks and ate and drank.
Not far away, the bards were performing a cheerful show, and a few clowns were making jokes everywhere. The atmosphere in the square was simply lively to the extreme.
"Almost." Javier secretly calculated in his heart, lowered his head, and smiled slyly. "It's time for the guy who wants to die to jump out."
Sure enough, just as he expected, when everyone was happy and lively, a voice that was completely out of tune with the atmosphere rang out.
"Miss Riley, this is the harvest time. Shouldn't you lead everyone to pray to Lady Cornucopia (the Goddess of Harvest) and thank her for her gift?"
