Lord of Arcane

Chapter 420 Mooncake Family
Soon the ceremony came to an end. Of course, this was the end of the old version of the ceremony. This time, Xia Duo added an additional link, that is, offering sacrifices to the moon. However, compared with the previous ceremony, which involved the participation of holy power, there is no holy power in this link. Participated, because Xia Duo couldn't find a priest of the moon god to preside over it.

In this way, Layton can only make a guest appearance. Nether folks say that the moon god is the daughter of the Lord of Radiance, so it seems that it is not too much for the father's priest to preside over the ceremony instead of the daughter's priest.

Without the participation of holy power, it would be pure formalism, but such a form is exactly what Xia Duo needs to change customs, but the first year does not need to be complicated, just listen to Layton loudly said in front:

"The citizens of the Great Xia Territory, remember the dead and at the same time, you must not forget the living. Please look up at the moon and think of the person you want to see the most. Maybe you can really see that person on the moon! "

Then the performance began, and Xia Duo quietly cast the illusion spell specially designed for tonight--3 rings [Star and Moon Dome]

The effect of the spell is just like its name—replacing the current starry sky with a phantom dome that is huge enough to cover the entire cemetery area. What the underground citizens will see is no longer the normal starry sky, but what Xia Duo showed them. starry sky.

This man-made starry sky has not changed much from the normal starry sky, and Xia Duo didn't want to make it too inconsistent, but just "painted" a blurry figure on the moon. With the hint of Layton's words, the citizens When you see this blurred figure, you may think it is the person you think of.

"Send lovesickness in the bright moon thousands of miles" and "share the beautiful moon in thousands of miles" are the beautiful expectations of the people in Xia Duo's hometown. Although Xia Duo cannot reproduce an exactly the same Mid-Autumn Festival, he can transplant this concept to the existing ones. On the moon festival.

Let the breath of culture permeate in, and gradually form an environment that Xia Duo is familiar with.

This is the convergence of people's hearts, the harmony of spirits, and the shaping of civilization.

It’s a rare trip, Xia Duo is definitely going to do something earth-shattering. It’s not difficult to change the world when you become stronger, but it’s not easy to change the culture, spirit, and even the core of civilization. It’s not something that can be forced by strength. , there is a process of fit, assimilation, and evolution.

A long way to go.

After a while, the illusion spell changed, and the blurred figure in the moon gradually became clearer, but no matter how clear it was, it was impossible to be the same as the real figure, but the traces became clearer, and soon some leaders exclaimed:
"I saw my son!"

"I saw my mother-in-law too!"

"I saw my dead father!"

……

It was nothing when one or two screamed, but when more and more people screamed, even if they couldn't see anything, the leaders had to show that they saw something. After a while, the voice in the cemetery So up and down.

I don't know when Leiden quietly came to Xia Duo, and said quietly: "My lord, it's almost there."

Xia Duo needs to stay focused and maintain the illusion, and cannot be distracted from observing the performance of the leaders, so Layton is arranged to remind him at the right time, and this should be the right time.

After Layton reminded Xia Duo, he returned to the ceremony venue and spoke loudly, attracting the attention of the people. At this time, Xia Duo also took the opportunity to release the illusion, as if it had never happened.

After the ceremony, Layton arranged for the citizens to leave the arena one by one, and Xia Duo teleported away directly.

……

Daxia collar, cafeteria.

The people who had just returned from the cemetery did not go home individually, but came here instead. Of course, this was not because it was time for dinner, but because Xia Duo had prepared mooncakes for them here. There are also various kinds of mooncakes in Naishi. Cakes are generally used as dry food for long-distance travel, and they do not deliberately pursue a round shape.

There is basically no technical difficulty, but it is time-consuming. Xia Duo asked Cook to prepare it a few days in advance. The mooncakes filled with fresh meat are a bit hard, but they taste good.

The distribution of mooncakes does not require Xia Duo to be present. Cook will distribute them to the citizens, and each person must say, "Do you think this mooncake looks like the moon in the sky!"

Not long after, Aiwa came to Xia Duo's small camp.

"how is the situation?"

"Following the adults' instructions, I ate the mooncakes and then looked at the moon. I pretended to be surprised when I saw a figure, and the others soon followed suit."

"That's good!"

It is not so easy to create a custom. It is of course the easiest for God to come forward, but even Midsummer Festival is not stipulated by God. It is human beings who find that this day is the longest day in the whole year, so it is determined as the Lord of Radiance. holy day.

The Moon Festival can barely be related to the Moon God, but as far as Xia Duo knows, almost no one can perceive the holy power of the Moon God. In a sense, there is no such thing as the Moon God!

Of course, the Moon God must exist, which is recognized by all the great arcanists, but it is also obvious that the Moon God has a low sense of existence.

It is what Xia Duo wants to do now to let the citizens have the idea of ​​linking mooncakes with the moon and yearning. A moon festival that combines Qingming and Mid-Autumn Festival is what Xia Duo wants to realize in the future.The current Moon Festival is still very simple and requires an official organization. It is still a long way from the festival in Xia Duo's mind.

Seeing that Aiwa was still serious and waiting for instructions, Xia Duo felt a little touched, "Aiwa, you can go back to Savile Town in two days."

"My lord, you want to drive me away?" Aiwa slapped his knees on the ground, "My lord, the purpose of my existence is to serve you, I hope you won't drive me away!"

"..."

Xia Duo was a little dumbfounded, ever since he freed Aiwa from the curse and helped him escape the pursuit of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, he has always looked like this. Of course, he was also very taciturn and meticulous before, but now he is more too much.

But to be honest, Xia Duo doesn't want him to become a pure tool man who loses himself. There are too many ways to want a tool. For a person who once saved him, Xia Duo still has other ideas.

"You think too much. I want you to go to Savile to find a woman. It's time for you to start a family. Look at your brother Gibb. His son can walk. Don't you envy him?"

"My lord, I just want to serve you, I have no other ideas."

"..."

Human nature is sometimes very complicated, and sometimes it is very simple. Xia Duo looked at Aiwa with firm eyes and felt very emotional, "Take it as my order. I have already contacted Owen to come over tomorrow, and you will return to SA the day after tomorrow." Well town."

If it weren't for the fact that there are too few people in Linshui Village and every woman has a husband and children, Xia Duo would have arranged a blind date directly.

However, the incident with Aiwa also made Xia Duo think that the population ratio of the territory is very different now, and there are too few women. Not to mention that the first batch of residents were all men, and the 200 households transferred by Niya later, There are more men and less women.

The family is definitely the most stable social relationship in a territory and the cornerstone of a stable territory.To some extent, a lone wolf like Aiwa should be bound by a family.

With Xia Duo's direct order, Aiwa no longer resisted, but his expression was a little complicated when he left.

Xia Duo also saw the change in Aiwa's expression, but he didn't take it seriously. After Aiwa left, he sent a message to Jibu, asking Jib to go back with Aiwa the day after tomorrow.

In Xia Duo's plan, there are two functions of Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Now the meaning of reunion on Moon Festival is not so obvious in the consciousness of the citizens, but Xia Duo himself has this awareness.

Letting Gibb go back is also to reunite him with his family. Of course, Xia Duo is going to let him go back to live for a few days for other people who have family members living in Savile.

In the future, it is also Xia Duo's goal to let them bring all their families to Daxia.

Similarly, when the territory develops to a certain level, childbearing incentives and compulsory education can also be arranged.
