(Go to the hospital tomorrow. Go to bed early today. There is only one chapter tonight. Thank you.)
When the newly planted green vegetables outside Pyroxene Town bloomed, Reif received a special order.
"Join the exchange group and stay in the Void Mask Amusement Park for a few days?" He repeated the words of the supervisor in a daze, not understanding what it meant.
He could understand every word the supervisor said, but when these words were put together, he did not understand.
Exchange group? What was that?
Why did he want to join the "exchange group"? Why did he want to stay in the Void Mask Amusement Park for a few days?
The young magician, who was the supervisor, saw his blank face and explained with a smile, "Teacher … no, the mayor intends to organize an exchange group to visit the Void Mask Amusement Park. One is to give everyone a goal, to let everyone know what we are going to build Pyroxene Town into; the other is that the Void Mask Amusement Park will hold an important ceremony recently. As an outstanding worker in the town, the mayor thinks you are qualified to visit this ceremony. "
Only then did Reif understand. He thought for a moment, then asked, "What exactly is the ritual?"
The supervisor recalled for a while and looked a little confused. "The mayor said it is a 'retirement ceremony.' I don't understand what it means."
In fact, even Felix, the mayor of Pyroxene Town, was not very clear about it.
She only knew that His Majesty the Void Mask had asked both the amusement park and Pyroxene Town to do a good job of the age statistics of the workers. Once a worker reached the age of 50, he should be notified. At that time, a retirement ceremony would be held to commend those who had devoted their youth to the construction of the territory.
But even the Void Mask Amusement Park had been built for less than 20 years. Even if someone was 50 years old, he would work in his thirties. Was there any "youth" at all?
Josh was puzzled by another aspect: Even if a worker was 50 years old, so what? No matter where the tradition was, unless the worker could not work anymore, he had to keep working no matter how old he was. And if he really could not work anymore, he would naturally be fired and his source of income would be cut off.
His Majesty the Void Mask specially held a retirement ceremony. What did this "retirement" mean? From the literal meaning, it should mean "retire from work and rest," right? But who wouldn't want to work for no reason? If he left his job, he would have no income!
Could it be that … His Majesty the Void Mask wanted to give these old people who had lost the ability to work some subsidies? Of course, this was not impossible. Back in their tribe, when there was enough food, they would also share it with the elderly who were unable to work. But wasn't this a very common thing? Why was there a need to hold a ceremony?
Similarly, many people had different guesses and doubts. No one knew what this ceremony meant, and no one knew what His Majesty Void Mask was going to do.
Except Madame Teague, who was actually in charge of it.
"Your Majesty, I have to admit that you are the most benevolent and generous god I have ever seen!" Looking at the document compiled by Sui Xiong himself, she was full of emotion and excitement, and even her hands were trembling. "Such a system … such a practice … I really didn't expect it …"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning." Sui Xiong casually said something inappropriate and looked at the square where the platform was being built with a smile. "Now that you've started, it will be easier to do things in the future. Just follow my example."
"But, there are so many good gods, but none of them thought of your method."
"Everyone has different ideas, and it may not be that I am particularly clever," Sui Xiong said with a smile. Sui Xiong said with a smile, "If I have to say where I have made more progress than them, it's probably that … I am standing on the shoulders of giants."
"The shoulders of giants?"
Sui Xiong laughed again. He was too lazy to explain this story from the great scientist Newton on Earth. He said, "After today, this practice will be widely learned by all good gods. I have made a small contribution to the progress of this world. "
"This contribution is not small at all!"
"Haha! Just a small work … "Sui Xiong laughed and made up his mind to add" I am very ashamed "before the words at the ceremony, and then add" Thank you all. "
Anyway, he had already traveled to another world, and no one would understand this joke that was used so many times by netizens on Earth. Anyway …
He suddenly froze as he remembered something.
In this world, there was an ancient elf temple in the Ancient Forest, which was said to be the birthplace of the Goddess of Life. The temple was very old, but every brick and tile was extremely strong, and even the Great Mediums could not shake it. There was a spring of life in the temple, and next to the spring lived an immortal old sage. He looked like a frog and was respectfully called "Elder Frog." It was said that this old sage also talked and laughed with the Goddess of Life, and his level was unknown. In the mortal world, many people were lucky enough to see him, drink his longevity wine, and listen to his stories.
When he first heard about this, he had wanted to pay a visit to this senior who was full of wonderful deja vu. But after so many years, things happened one after another, and he had forgotten about it.
Anyway, he was free now, and there were still a few days before the retirement ceremony. It was better to take advantage of the time and send an incarnation to go there!
Now he was very active. Once he made up his mind, he would immediately put it into action. So this incarnation hurriedly said goodbye and turned into a light. In a flash, it flew over thousands of mountains and rivers, and came to the territory of Geerteng. Then it flew up into the sky and flew against the strong wind, which was full of magic energy. Soon it flew to the Ancient Forest.
But … where was the ancient elf temple?
Looking down at the seemingly endless sea of green trees that stretched all the way to the horizon, he fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, he decisively gave up and directly contacted Javier.
"Javier, do you know where the ancient elf temple is?"
Javier was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "The location of the temple is not fixed, and it often moves. I don't know where it is now. "
"Then do you have a way to find it?"
"Of course there is. There is a special spell that can be used to find this temple." Javier said and sent the information of the magic to Sui Xiong. "This is one of the magic inherited by the elf clan. The strong elves often use this magic to go to the temple. One reason is to worship, and the other is to ask for advice … By the way, you suddenly want to find the ancient elf temple. Is it because you want to find the immortal elder to ask for something?"
Sui Xiong smiled. "I'm just curious."
With that said, he studied the information that was not complicated and quickly cast that spell.
With the completion of the magic, a green light rose and turned into a small road sign, pointing in a certain direction.
Sui Xiong immediately flew in the direction of the road sign, but strangely, the direction of the road sign soon began to change slowly. If he hadn't fixed the road sign on his body, he might have gone the wrong way.
Sui Xiong was not confused by the change of the direction of the road sign. He firmly flew in the direction indicated by the road sign. After a while, a green light suddenly shone in front of him. When the green light dissipated, he came to an old but tidy temple full of vicissitudes.
This temple was made of wood and stone. The construction was not exquisite, but it had a harmonious beauty. There were many plants in the temple, as if they had originally been here. They were perfectly integrated with the buildings, forming a natural and harmonious whole.
The temple was not big. Sui Xiong flew in it for a while, turned two corners, passed through a hall, and saw a square shrouded in green light. In the center of the square, a green tree like a huge vine towered into the sky, and its canopy spread out, covering the whole temple. Under the tree was a clear spring, and in the center of the spring, there was a statue of a smiling girl holding a small vase in her hands. The vase was spraying water.
The water mist filled the air, and together with the green light, it gave off a fresh smell. Just by smelling this smell, Sui Xiong felt calm. He could not help but smile, landed on the ground, and slowly walked to the spring.
"Elder Frog, where are you?" As he walked, he looked for the legendary immortal sage, but looking left and right, he could not find anyone who looked like a sage.
When he walked all the way to the spring, he suddenly heard a laugh coming from the spring, "I am here."
Sui Xiong was stunned. He looked down and saw a miniature frog the size of a thumb lying on the water, sinking and floating. It was wearing a pair of old glasses, which looked very strange.
This was the Elder Frog? Isn't it a little too small?
The frog wearing glasses obviously saw through his doubts. It chuckled and jumped onto a nearby tree branch. It took out a surprisingly small teacup from nowhere, and there was a cup of hot tea in it. It chuckled and took a sip, then asked, "Does it matter if I'm big or small?"
Sui Xiong thought about it and shook his head.
He was not here to fight, so it did not matter.
Thinking of this, he also smiled, shook his body, and became about the same size as the frog. He flew to the unimaginably huge tree branch and sat down.
"I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I never had the time," he said, "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, then sighed, "Very ordinary."
The frog burst into laughter. "I'm very ordinary."
"I thought you would be a huge mythological beast. Or, although you are a frog, you wear a robe like a scholar, hold a cane, live in a wooden house full of books, wear a tall hat, and have a snow-white beard … "
"Hahaha! How can there be such a frog! "
Sui Xiong could not help but laugh, "Yes, how can there be such a frog? I think 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 answered subconsciously, "I … I am still a human."
"Then why do you look like a jellyfish?"
"… Convenient."
The frog smiled, took out a cup of tea from nowhere, and handed it to Sui Xiong.
Sui Xiong took the cup and took a sip. Before he had time to say anything, he saw the scene in front of him shake. A green light flashed, and the temple, the tree, and the frog disappeared without a trace. Only he was floating in the vast jungle, and even the teacup in his hand was gone.
He thought for a while and cast the spell to find the ancient elf temple, but this time the green arrow was spinning quickly, and he could not find a clear direction at all.
Sui Xiong pondered for a long time, and finally, he looked up to the sky and laughed. Then he flew to the direction of the Void Mask Playground.
"Elder frog, next time I have time, I will come to have tea with you!"
