Information on the Sea-Praying Ritual
Santa Port, in a room with Card Table.
Change, who had changed his appearance and clothes, Lumian and Lugano met the black marketeer who claimed to be a descendant of Dalege.
He was wearing a white shirt and a black vest, sitting on top of Card Table, with a cup of light malt-colored White Wine in front of him, and a slow Burning Cigar between his fingers.
He does look like he has the bloodline of Dalege Region, Eye Sockets is slightly sunken, his black hair is slightly curled, his blue Eyes looks like the mountain sky without clouds, his cheeks are thin, he has dense stubble, and he looks like he is in his thirties.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Valerio." Lugano greeted with Highland Language.
Valerio looked back at the several bodyguards with guns on their guns, smiled and said in Intis language with a Dalege accent, "I haven't seen you back for a long time Homeland, and you are very kind to see you."
"Yes, Mr. Valerio." Lumian pretended to be timid and replied to Intis language with the same Dalege accent.
Although Shepherd people are good at fighting the dangers in the wild, they are instinctively afraid of the authorities in human settlements.
Valerio nodded slightly and said, "Are you from Larnaca?"
"Yes, I just attended the trading conference there." Lumian answered smoothly.
He heard about Larnaca from Shepherd of Cordou Village, where a trading conference is held every month, forming a lively suburban market. Shepherds from far and near will Past, looking for opportunities to buy and sell lambs, wool, cheese and other commodities.
Valerio also talked about the transition and the folk customs of Dalege Region. Lumian knew both of them in detail and answered from a Shepherd perspective.
During this process, he was vaguely in a trance, remembering the words Older Sister occasionally said when he was angry:
"If you don't study hard, I'll send you to be Shepherd!"
Now, he is indeed Acting a Shepherd.
After a while, Valerio nodded with satisfaction, took a puff of his cigar and said, "You are quite wise. You don't need an ID to graze in the countryside, but you must have one when you settle in the city. I will help you get two sets as soon as possible. After that, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me. I may not be able to help, but one more person will always give you more ideas. We are all Daliege people, so of course we must help each other."
Lumian is not surprised at all by the enthusiasm of this black marketeer:
"Uniting" the people in your hometown will form a force that can be utilized and cannot be ignored!
This is just like Savoie Gang and Primordial One are composed of those Savoie people who work as coolies and Waiter. They have made countless contributions to the Savoie Chamber of Commerce big Boss to develop their careers, expand their operations, and protect their family property.
As for how many Savoie people here will never be able to take the right path and die on the street at some point, those wealthy businessmen don't care.
Lumian relied on the acting skills he learned from Jenna and the tips from Anthony·Reid, and he praised Valerio for having a very noble character.
Valerio smiled and specifically warned, "If you want to survive here, you'd better Convert'Earth Mother' find a good girl to get married as soon as possible and have several children. Only in this way, you will not encounter some hidden troubles."
Is it Kingdom of Feynapotter's tradition to urge marriage and childbirth? Lumian slandered and said with a bitter smile, "Without copper coins, there will be no good girls."
This is also Dalege Region's proverb, which means that it is difficult for poor people to find a good girl, and Shepherd it is even more difficult for them to build a family.
"This is Feynapotter, not Dalege." Valerio picked up the cup of White Wine and took a sip. "The good girls here pay more attention to a strong body and a brave temperament. You can wait until you get married to make money."
"Why?" Lumian did not hide his confusion.
"Such a man is more suitable for reproducing offspring, and also has the ability to make good girls Pregnancy." Valerio smiled, " This is different from Dalege. The core of many things is fertility and reproduction. Only by understanding this can you truly understand Feynapotter and praise Mother of All Things!"
The black marketeer stood up, with his feet slightly apart and his hands raised high.
No wonder Feynapotter is the country with the largest population among the Northern Continent countries. If they weren't good at improving the land and growing food, they wouldn't be able to feed so many people...Lumian's thoughts turned and he tentatively said, "Mr. Valerio, I heard there will be something Sea-Praying Ritual next month. Is there any chance to make money?"
"Yes." Valerio sat down, "Santa Port is still relatively hot in November. When my grandfather first arrived here, he rented a Wooden Box to hold popsicles. He went to the ice factory to get a bunch of ice cubes, piled them around the popsicles, and covered them with towels. Then I squeezed into the crowd, sold popsicles and ice cubes to them, and made my first pot of gold. Now, I can still do this business, but the competition is much fiercer. I even have to rent an extra bicycle so that I can take a larger insulated Wooden Box and go to more Ritual places."
"Are there many Ritual places?" Lumian asked.
Valerio replied with a smile, "This is the entire Santa Port event. There are many processes that need to be held in different places, such as Dance of the Sea at the port, Flower Boat Parade in the whole city, ship racing competitions at sea, Night-Watch Ritual of Milo Village, and the core Sea Sacrifice."
"What is Sea Sacrifice?" Lumian asked curiously.
Valerio shook his head slowly:
"I don't know the specifics. I only know that 'Governor of the Sea' and 'Sea Maiden' took a special boat, took the Sacrifice donated by fishermen and Sea Merchantss, and went to a certain Sea Area outside the port to hold a unique Ritual. People who have not followed will never know the detailed process."
"'Governor of the Sea','Sea Maiden'?" Lumian kept picking keywords.
This perfectly fits the situation of a Dalege Shepherd who just arrived at Santa Port.
Valerio smiled and said, "The most important thing about 'Sea-Praying Ritual' is to choose one Men to be 'Governor of the Sea' and four girls to be 'Sea Maiden' ', they first paraded through the city on a flower boat, then boarded the specially-made fishing boat at the port, went out to sea in the performance of 'Dance of the Sea', led the racing competition to start, then circled the port and entered Milo, the oldest fishing village in the area, to spend a night.
"At seven o'clock the next morning, they will reboard the ship, take Sacrifice with them, and head to the land of Sea Sacrifice."
The selected "Governor of the Sea" and "Sea Maiden"...Sea-Praying Ritual, a game with multiple links...Lumian, repeated the key parts in my mind.
He was suddenly startled and thought:
This is very similar to the Lent Festival celebration in the Dalege mountainous area, and "Spring Spirit"!
Although the Lent Festival celebration in reality did not involve the horrific incident of Ava being beheaded and blood splattered, the scene in the dream left a very deep impression on Lumian, making him instinctively equate the Lent Festival celebration with the horror of Evil.
Sea-Praying Ritual here is similar to Lent Festival celebration?
On second thought, Lumian felt that such similarity did not explain the problem.
Because this is a very common treatment in Mysticism - erecting a specific symbol to represent the sacrificial object to achieve the desired effect.
This can be seen in many folklore Ritual.
"How were 'Governor of the Sea' and 'Sea Maiden' selected?" Lumian looked curious.
It won't be the same as "Spring Spirit", it will be voted by all residents of Santa Port, right?
Can you still gain a high reputation and enjoy hidden benefits after Ritual?
Valerio took another puff Cigar:
"Selected by the committee members of Santa Port's oldest guild, Fishing Guild. What are the specific criteria and whether they need to vote are kept secret. Even the official members of the Fishing Guild don't know."
As he spoke, the black marketeer smiled:
"I also want to be selected as 'Governor of the Sea'. It is said that there will be many benefits, but no one involved is willing to reveal what they are."
"How are those previous 'Governor of the Sea' doing now?" Lumian is more concerned about this issue.
Valerio was stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment, and shook his head:
"I don't know.
"Each 'Governor of the Sea' has a term of office of only one year. It seems that he was sent to other places after leaving office. Anyway, he cannot stay in Santa Port to avoid conflict with the new 'Governor of the Sea'. Haha, he must have given high compensation, and he will also be allowed to bring his family with him."
Sent to another place? Is it really sent to another place instead of encountering something else? With previous experiences, Lumian will instinctively think in the direction of Evil's horror when faced with this kind of folklore Ritual.
And the subsequent encounters of That One and "Governor of the Sea" in "Sea-Praying Ritual" do sound strange.
Lumian thought for a moment and asked in a manner consistent with his current identity, "Where are those 'Sea Maiden's?"
"Very popular with Sea Merchants, Fishing Company shareholders, and fishermen Sailor. Each of them wants to marry 'Sea Maiden', which represents Sea's favor. When you go to various fishing villages, go to the Fishing Guild, when you go to those Sea Merchants homes, you will find that many powerful grandmothers have been 'Sea Maiden'." Valerio looked envious, and seemed to want to marry a "Sea Maiden" and become a real Sea businessman.
This is the same as the hidden benefits of becoming "Spring Spirit"...Lumian suppressed the urge to raise his right hand and touch his chin.
He stopped and didn't ask any more questions. After paying a deposit of 50 Gold Riso, he and Lugano left Valerio's underground casino.
Ludwig did not come with them, but was placed in a nearby family Restaurant, which has children's entertainment facilities, dedicated caregivers, and a meal.
--In Feynapotter, there are many industries that are convenient for parents to raise children and help them reduce stress. This is not available in Intis and other countries. Even if it is available, it is only provided to the upper class.
Trier, Catacombs.
Franca and Jenna took the lit White Candles and returned to Third Layer.
"What's the name of the Tomb Chamber you're looking for?" Franca, who no longer felt so depressed, asked, turning his head.
Jenna said directly without thinking about it, "Thorns and Shield Wall Tomb Chamber."
