Chapter 211

This time, the birthday of the flower goddess will have a parade of floats that covers every road in Sumi Castle. Lansemelo puts Sumi roses in his hair and changes into the outfit of the fairy knight Bedivere.

Then she pushed open the door and saw the float convoy parked at the city gate at a glance. The blue-haired girl knight ran briskly towards the scholars gathered around the float, and raised her hand to decorate the float that would carry the God of Grass among the crowd with purple-red patisalan, representing the goddess of flowers.

"The Flower God's Birthday Festival has begun - today is Little Auspicious Grass King's birthday, let's go to the Jingshan Temple to welcome her!"

Thirty mercenaries pushed the float along the route. Led by the girl who was to serve as the Flower Knight today, it started from the roots of the tree, spiraled upwards and awakened the sleeping Sumi Castle. The float reached the treetops, passed through the Imperial Academy, and finally stopped in front of the closed gates of the Jozen Palace.

Lansemelo pushed open the gate of the Jingshan Palace and set foot on the road that led directly to the gods.

"Although I've already said it, I think it's better to say it again." Lansemero smiled and stopped in front of Narcida. He imitated the French royal knight in his memory and touched his chest with one hand to invite the young god. "As agreed, I'm here to pick you up-"

"Happy birthday, Narcita."

"Let's go, it's time to open the curtain of a new era for Sumi."

"good!"

When Lansemelo sent Nashida onto the float, the temporary wise men who were appointed in yesterday's emergency meeting began to applaud spontaneously - although some people looked like they were doing something that had to be done, at least no one cared about the thoughts of any temporary wise man at the moment.

"…After all, we are just temporary candidates who are here to make up the numbers and fill the scene." Al Haisen, who was walking behind the float, verbally counterattacked Kavi, the only one who expressed dissatisfaction with his attitude. "I don't have any opinions about the little lucky grass king, I have opinions about Azar and the current great sage."

"If it weren't for them, I would still be a clerk who gets off work on time and has plenty of vacation time. Of course, I hope this temporary job will end soon so that I can return to my original life."

"It's the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival now. I hope you still remember the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival rules issued by the Great Sage last night." Senor, who was walking behind the two people, decisively interrupted their whispered arguments, "This rule only applies to us who appear in the float team - although she didn't say what the punishment would be for violating this rule..."

"…the disciplinary officer."

Elhaisen and Kavichi shut up and followed the two remaining official sages ahead of them all the way down - after all, this was the first time that the little King of Lucky Grass officially appeared in front of the Sumi people, so before announcing those policy changes, they had to accompany the little King of Lucky Grass throughout the entire Sumi City.

The scholars related to Azar are still temporarily detained in the interrogation room of the discipline officer; while the scholars who have been released have more or less received hints from the inside, and are now mingling with ordinary people, looking up at the float that the little auspicious grass king is riding on - at least on this day, the atmosphere in Sumi City seems to be very harmonious on the surface.

The float brought the crowds following the gods to the outside of the city and stopped in front of a temporary round stage; Nashida's eyes were also attracted to the stage, but it was because she found the followers of the previous generation of grass gods beside the stage - many Lanaros were crowded around the stage, and their eyes kept looking towards where Nashida was.

"Legend has it that a long time ago, when the Great Compassionate Tree King celebrated her birthday, her friends held a banquet to celebrate her birthday. The gods got drunk at the banquet, so one of them took the opportunity to play an instrument. The Great Compassionate Tree King sang, and the Flower God danced to the music..."

"However, five hundred years have passed since the death of the Great Kind Tree King." Lansemero stood in front of the stage and turned to look at Nashida on the float and the people of Sumi City following behind the float. "During these five hundred years, we held the Flower God's Birthday Ceremony on the same date to bless the master of the Dreamless Country."

——Of course, Sumire was not born dreamless. The fact that the child could see Lannara explains everything.

——Someone took away their dreams, just like the heroic spirits guarding in Fujimaru Ritsuka's dreams would use various means to destroy the nightmare that invaded the Lord's heart. In a place where no one knew, the battle had already ended.

——It’s ironic that the man called the Dreamless Tree King by the Council of Eminence holds power related to dreams.

- Although the red poppy belongs to the power of sleep of Hypnos, the god of sleep is the biological father of several gods of dreams after all, and the power of sleep naturally includes the power of dreams; and one of her teachers is a court magician who masters the magic of weaving dreams. He even once lived on the continent of Teyvat as a goddess of flowers.

"…It is not a good thing to believe in a god who has long passed away, and the era of the Dreamless Tree King has come to an end." Lansemelo took a deep breath, raised his hand and waved the cloak behind him, "The Little Auspicious Grass King who truly inherited the power of the God of Grass has regained your lost dreams - and we should offer her a brand new birthday banquet!"

The stage at the center of everyone's sight was lit up at this moment - the former flower god who served as the Flower Knight stepped aside from the float and smiled as he watched the best dancers belonging to humans and Sumi Castle step onto the stage; the Lannaras worked together to drag everyone present into a dazzling illusion.

——Hallucinations are a derivative of dreams.

In the five hundred years after leaving Huanalana, Lansemello had communicated with Lannaro about everything related to dreams.

The little forest elves could not understand what this former god, whom the Great Compassionate Tree King had taken great pains to preserve until his death, was saying. But even though what she said at first was almost completely incomprehensible to Lannaros, in the end they could still understand what Lannaros needed them to do.

——Just like the requirements for setting up the stage today.

All the available manpower had been mobilized in Sumi City yesterday, but setting up the stage in one night was already the limit - they no longer had time to complete all the arrangements, and even the decoration of the floats that would be paraded throughout Sumi City had not yet been completed.

"Then we have to resort to extraordinary measures." Lansemello said to the members who were preparing for the Flower God's Birthday Ceremony, "You can go back and rest first - I will handle the rest. Don't worry, this problem is not difficult for me."

The float part was solved when Lansemero went out this morning - and of course Lannaros were invited to help with the stage overnight.

"...The so-called hallucination is a dream that appears in reality." Lansemero finally concluded to Lannaros, "What you have to do tomorrow is to let the people of the entire Sumi City see that something that does not exist has appeared out of thin air in reality - the dancer on the stage is going to dance the dance of the flower god."

"You have to hide her existence at first, and after the performance begins - that part is up to you."

“Just remember that after the dance, it all comes to an end — like a magic that ends at a certain point.”

Then the dancer appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, stretching her limbs and twisting her waist. The purple patisalan flowers bloomed at the feet of the goddess of flowers just as in the legend, filling the entire stage with the dancer's dance steps. The sky turned a dreamlike pink, and the Lannaros excitedly crowded around Nashida, applauding the dancers together with the newborn grass god.

After the dance, the red-haired dancer gave Nashida her blessing.

"Happy birthday, little lucky grass king."

The people of Sumi were also moved to offer blessings to the god they met for the first time.

"Happy birthday, little lucky grass king!"

—Happy birthday, Narcida.

Standing next to the float, Lansemero smiled at Nashida, stretched out his hand and invited her to get off the float and go onto the stage under the gaze of Quan Sumijo - the six new sages of the Ordinance stood in a row behind the God of Grass, accompanying the God of Grass to complete the last official procedure of the Flower God's Birthday Festival today.

"Nice to meet you. I am Little Auspicious Grass King." Little Nashida stood in front of the Six Sages and introduced herself to the people who came to attend the Flower God's Birthday Ceremony. "From today on, I have inherited the authority of the Grass God from the previous Grass God, Great Compassion Tree King, and my mentor, Dreamless Tree King. I have taken back the management rights of Sumi from the former Great Sage Azar who violated the teachings."

"Last night's dream was my gift to you. Dreams originally belong to the power of the God of Grass, so Lord Dreamless Tree King has never taken away your dreams." Nashida glanced at the faces of the people surrounding the stage, "The first step of the new era of Sumi begins from here."

“Although it is a small step, change should start from the smallest details - therefore, we first want to announce the latest results of the handling of the case of the great sage Azar who violated the decree.”

"Although the Magistrate has not yet concluded his review of this case, in order to maintain the operation of the Court of Decrees and the governance of Sumi Castle, three temporary sages and one great sage appointed directly by me have been selected from scholars who have nothing to do with this case. They are the temporary sage of the Zhilun School, Elhaisen; the temporary sage of the Sulun School, Senor; the temporary sage of the Myolun School, Kavi; and the sage and great sage of the Myolun School, Rikolis."

"Together with the original sage of the theory of life, Nafis, and the sage of the theory of cause, Iskander, the above six people are the new six sages. From today on, for the next year, these six people will jointly decide on the affairs of the House of Decrees and will be responsible for executing my orders." Nashida glanced at Lansemello who was standing behind her. "The second thing I want to announce next is also the last thing-"

"It will be announced by the new Great Sage Rikolis."

"The second thing is about the changes to the void system." Lansermero stepped forward, pulled his hat, and announced to everyone, "From today on, all scholars' research must be uploaded to the void for encryption, and they are strictly prohibited from disclosing their research results to others. Once this rule is violated, no matter who it is, they will definitely receive a visit from the Disciplinary Officer."
