[Chapter 674 Why are my words a bit flagrant?]
December 30, 1347! New Year is coming!
Every year on this day, it is an important day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
Although this day is not as grand as Christmas, every family will have a sumptuous meal.
When midnight falls, the people of the Gran Kingdom will start the traditional New Year’s greetings. People will rush to connect the well water, open the door, prepare small brown bread, and welcome the arrival of relatives and friends.
Wealthy people will also prepare a large amount of copper coins, and they will give gifts to each other whether they meet friends or strangers. (The above is the tradition of the British when they celebrate the New Year. The Kingdom of Glen in this book follows the British customs.)
However, this year’s December 30th is unusually dull!
The grand festive atmosphere does not exist, the whole city is dark and gloomy, and people deliberately did not wake up the street lights on the street, which makes the holy city, known as the “city that never sleeps”, now completely covered by night.
People who used to go door-to-door to visit New Year’s greetings in the past are not in the mood to go for a stroll this year. They gathered in front of the two churches, more than 30,000 people, and surrounded the two churches with everyone’s faces. There was a sense of heaviness and worry.
They looked up at the big bell on the top of the church, and waited for the moment when it struck with great tension.
As long as the broken bell strikes, it means that 1347 has passed and 1348 has come, that is, the year of the flying black dragon is coming.
Every second since the bell rang, a huge black dragon might strike in the sky, a black dragon that no one can defeat. It will destroy the entire city in an instant and plunder people’s hard-earned wealth. .
Robb was still lazy on his stone chair, looking at the dull crowd around him, he couldn’t help feeling a little unhappy!
He didn’t like this nasty atmosphere, this feeling like the end was coming.
He couldn’t help but ask the girls next to him, “Every time the year of the Black Dragon Flying Comes, people do this?”
Lilian shook her head: “I used to live in a poor village in the rough rock canyon, but there was no such atmosphere. We didn’t worry about the black dragon coming at all. When the New Year’s bell is about to ring, everyone is very lively. This is me. It’s the first time to celebrate the New Year of the Flying Black Dragon in a big city.”
Sofa followed suit: “It’s also the first time for me to celebrate this kind of New Year! The desert kingdom has never been attacked by a black dragon, so it’s very important to celebrate the New Year there. Happy.” On
the other hand, Xiao Yi, Da Loli, two bright nuns, and even Shang Hui, who have lived in the big city for a long time, have long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere.
Xiaoyi held a copy of the “New Bright Bible” in both hands and muttered: “Blessed by the God of Light, I hope that the black dragon will not come to the holy city of the West Wind this year. This is my biggest wish this year.”
She is now the New Bright Holy See The holy nun, as soon as she opened her mouth, almost all the believers followed: “Bless the god of light, I hope the black dragon won’t come this year…”
This atmosphere immediately moved all the people, whether it was the new god of light or not. Believers, all murmured wishes in their mouths.
This kind of dullness made Robb very uncomfortable. He hated this kind of atmosphere and preferred a happy atmosphere. He was about to say “Flowers applause Music, everyone cheers up”, when suddenly he heard the mobile phone in his pocket “dididi” rang.
After hearing it, it was actually Xue Lu who was calling. She said in a greasy voice: “Dear, Happy New Year.”
Robb: “Cut! Who is your dear?”
Xue Lu said with a smile: ” You! Who else is there besides you?”
Hearing Xuelu’s grinning voice, Robb’s mood improved a little, as if someone cast a beam of sunlight in a dark world, he couldn’t help asking: “Xuelu, how are you over there? All the people on my side are like dead people at home, waiting for the year of the flying black dragon with a dark face.”
“Hahaha!” Xuelu laughed loudly: “I guessed it would be like this. Every New Year of the Year of the Black Dragon, people in big cities will do this. Who said that Xifeng Town has become a big city?”
“You Are you still laughing?” Robb said: “I’m not happy here, I’m just waiting for the black dragon to come, and I’m going to beat its dog head. I can’t stand it every four years in the future.”
“Save it.” Xue Lu said: “I often encourage you to explore the Demon King City, but I never support you to fight the black dragon, that thing is not something that can be dealt with by humans. If the black dragon comes to the West Wind City, you should run away quickly, oh… old The chasing soldiers of the Holy See of Light are here, I have to escape first…”
Luo Boqi said: “The chasing soldiers? Did you succeed in assassinating the archbishop?”
“Not yet!” Xuelu said: “But we killed the archbishop’s side. A few confidants scared him. Now he has sent the Temple Knights to hunt us down. We are running around in the barren mountains. Zhiji ran away, let’s talk back.” The
phone hung up, but Robb was not worried, he knew that Xuelu was not in danger, if there was danger, the woman would definitely throw out a teleportation shaft without hesitation, Calling Robb to the rescue, and now she hasn’t done so, shows that she is still able to do it with ease.
Just after hanging up Xue Lu’s phone, the queen’s phone called again.
The opening remarks were the same as Xue Lu’s: “Happy New Year!” However, her tone was not as happy as Xue Lu’s, but rather dull and depressed.
Robb couldn’t help but complain: “Happy New Year! But I’m not happy at all listening to your voice.” The
Queen said: “The whole Bright Road people are like dead people in the family. Weird.”
“Wow!” Robb said, “Is it the same on your side?”
The queen said: “Nonsense, my side is the capital, a super big city, more prosperous than your West Wind City, of course the people here will be more worried about the black dragon attack, although I have repeatedly declared that my palace is not even a little bit of property. No, Heilong definitely doesn’t look down on the road of light, but they don’t believe it
at all.” Now Rob was happy: “Hahaha! It’s no wonder they believe you, no one will believe that the king of a country is poor, and only I will.”
The Queen was so aggrieved that she said angrily, “You still laugh? You are richer than me, and I have no doubt that the Black Dragon has set his sights on your church, and when the New Year’s bell strikes, it will die. Pounced from the sky.”
“How is that possible?” Robb laughed: “It at least has a process of ‘confirming where the property is, and then flying to the location of the property’, at least it will take a few months before it will act. , how could it jump out of the sky as soon as the New Year’s bell rang? If it came so fast, I would run around the church naked.” Before finishing a
sentence, Robb hurriedly covered his mouth: “Hey, why do I mean something like a flag?”
