[Interstellar] Flawless Life

The wooden tower in Poole Town Square was completed five days after Hooker's arrival.This was a few days shorter than the expected construction period. The mayor was very happy and gave five copper coins to those who repaired the pagoda as a reward.Hook and Rhine had ten coppers in total, and they bought a bag of sugar for Nero and Elimore at the maltose workshop.

Hook rented a house in the town, and he didn't dare to bring anyone back to his manor, so that his father in Stark, the capital of the Kingdom of God, would know that he didn't stay in the sea of ​​celestial trees looking for dragons. "He's more cautious, and he'll get angry because of it," Hook said of his father, looking completely distressed. "Old Dalton will tell him, but at least he can wait until after the celebration."

"Don't the other townspeople say it?" asked Elimore.

"They are illiterate, and it may be difficult for them to write letters," Hook said while frying the ordinary steak bought at the market in the small town. It's been cleaned up. The town of Poole is completely safe now, don't worry about Elimore."

"I'm not worried." The big deal is getting bigger and stepping on one foot.

"Thank you for your trust." Hook smiled, scooped up the steak and served it to the young dragon, "Would you like to try the taste?"

The so-called taste test actually means feeding a piece before the meal.The young dragon readily agreed, and chomped down the steak.In the extra few days that followed, Hook wandered around the town with Rein and Elimore.There are many manors and plantations in Poole on the plains, which require a lot of labor. There are as many as three slave markets in the town, and it is inevitable to encounter them when shopping and eating.

"Most of them are prisoners of war, and the countries that fought against the Kingdom of God lost more," Hook introduced, "A small part are the original nobles of Stark. In the Kingdom of Light, the Pope is the king concurrently, there is no royal family, and the officials are from various The nobles are the family members of the Holy See, and the laws are the commandments of the Holy See. If you violate the commandments, your property will be confiscated and sold into slavery.”

"How do you know they violated the commandments?" Elimore asked in a low voice.

"Most of them are reports, and a small part are oracles." Hook blinked. "The gods are watching."

It's framing and nonsense, hey!

In a crowded place, Lein transferred the dragon from his shoulders to his arms. "Do you sympathize with them?" Rein asked in a low voice.Elimore shook his head. In the eyes of the giant dragon, human beings are just a species that is obviously weak, does not know unity, and is stupid enough to kill each other. It has been like this for thousands of years, and it is hopeless.

But humans also have many interesting things, such as candy, such as celebrations.

The Brightness Celebration and Harvest Festival kicked off with countless fireworks blooming in the sky in the dead of night.The attendant priests invited from Panketuo City lit the wooden tower in the town square, and the townspeople cheered and danced around the huge bonfire. They lit their own torches and marched to the fields outside the town. According to the tradition of the Harvest Festival in Poole, Go to the fields and find the golden rice ears hidden by the mayor.

Gold, pure gold, to whoever finds it.

But it's not easy to find. First of all, there is the mayor's rule that no one can find it. Every year, old Dalton will spend his life to hide the golden rice ears. Then there is the hiding place. All the manors, plantations, Fields, fields, and all places related to planting are generally outside the town, but it was indeed found in a flower pot on the balcony of a certain family one year.

So the whole process is quite exciting.

"You have to guess, you have to be lucky, and you have to overtake people." Hook pouted his buttocks and rummaged through a clump of grass, like a rabbit with no skills. Nero, who was finally liberated from the pyrotechnic workshop during the day, was holding a lamp beside him, "The most important thing It's cleverness."

"What is Mr. Hook digging?" Nero asked Elimore in fear, "No, it doesn't matter."

Elimore tilted his head, "Probably because he is crazy about money."

Rein straightened the young dragon's head, "He hired a child to follow Old Dalton, and then told him where the golden ears of rice are hidden. At this time, the only people in Poole town who can be free are children."

Nero stared round his eyes, "It's not very reliable! Don't children tell their parents first?"

Hook's voice came from the soil, "I have succeeded—"

Rein made up the knife, "Because I was the one who followed old Dalton that time."

"—I found it!" Hook pulled his head out of the soil and pulled something in his hand. Nero hurriedly raised a lamp to illuminate it, and found a wooden sign tied with straw, which read:

idiot.

Hook was stunned for three seconds, and threw the hard-earned things expressionlessly, "Don't worry, life has its ups and downs hahahahahaha." He laughed a few times and asked Rein seriously, "You won't be hurt because of this. Despise me, dear cousin!"

"No," Rein said decisively, "You have no reverence in my heart."

"Cruel!" Hook yelled and threw the wooden sign into the dug hole, destroying the corpse.

Nero realized, "Mr. Laing is Mr. Hooker's cousin?"

Hook sighed, "Yeah, he was very cute when he was young. Let's go, let's go and look for it elsewhere." A group of people left the hillside that Hook had been digging for a long time with a lamp, and headed forward to the place where the torches gathered. go. "It's so bright." Hook said with emotion, "A long time ago, the Harvest Festival in Poole Town was held in the dark, and there were torches only after it was held together with the Brightness Celebration."

"Wouldn't it be more difficult to find the golden ears of rice?"

"So it won't be placed in a place that is too difficult to find."

Nero was thoughtful, "Mr. Hook, what is the Festival of Light?"

Hook smiled, "It's hard to tell what it is. The Kingdom of God has Hanukkah, but if you want to celebrate other festivals, you need to light torches to create light. This process is called the Festival of Light."

A long time ago, the Harvest Festival in Poole Town was held in the dark. There was no celebration of light and no Holy See. The townspeople here ran freely in the dark night, carnivaled in the endless fields, chasing the fullest ear of golden rice.

It's not expensive, it's just mature and exudes freedom and happiness.

The torches in the distant fields quickly gathered together.Hook's footsteps stopped, and Nero bumped into him, "Well, Mr. Hook, what happened?"

"Something's wrong." Hook frowned, "We've never gathered together to look for golden ears of rice." It's not easy to divide them in this way, and they may be stolen every minute——

The Harvest Festival was originally a day to steal vegetables from other people's fields in the dark!

The more Hook thought about it, the more something was wrong, "Don't go there, wait until I come to find you, if I don't come, go to the third burial site before dawn, and take the things to Hammer Barr."

"Wait," Rein called to stop Hook, "Let's go together. It may not be the worst situation, but if something happens to you, our loss will be immeasurable."

"I must be very happy to say this kind of thing, but I don't need it now, I know I'm handsome and wise," Hook said as he quickened his pace, and then found that he, a frail appraiser, couldn't outrun the Dragon Knight, and there was nothing he could do I can only change my words, "Okay, okay, let's go together."

After walking a few steps, a townsman jumped out of the stab, "Hook! So you are here. A group of knight masters came to the town. The Harvest Festival ended early, and Mr. Dalton asked you to go to the town hall."

The wooden tower in the center of the square was still burning, and the townspeople who had been called back from the manor fields huddled in the dark alleys where the light could not be seen, watching the horses, armor, and bright banners bathed in the light with terrified eyes. There are also long ropes attached to the saddle.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it was used to kidnap people.
