"There are quite a lot of people today..." In the hall of the Lord Mansion, Kael said helplessly to Luxius, "Teacher, at least let me know beforehand when we have so many guests coming. It would give me some time to arrange carriages."Luxius laughed loudly and said, "Come on, stop with those noble formalities. No one here cares much about that stuff."
"No, it's not about being a noble, it's about the respect due to guests." Kael stubbornly retorted, then turned to Elanna and said, "Elanna, let's ride a horse together later; we'll let the guests take the carriages."
Elanna nodded subconsciously, not seeing anything amiss.
However, after nodding, she stiffened when she heard her Knight teacher clicking his tongue nearby.
The somewhat naturally oblivious Elanna's face changed slightly as she realized what was happening.
Indeed, Kael enjoyed seeing a strong Lady Knight showing a mix of annoyance and shyness in front of him; it truly was a beautiful scene in the human world.
...
As evening came and the sky turned fiery red, the streets and alleys of the city began bustling with life.
At the southwest entrance of Titan Town, golden pumpkins piled up at the archway.
Before even setting foot inside, one could smell the fragrances wafting out from the streets, the fervent atmosphere catching the attention of many town residents.
Not to mention the players who loved to join the fun; nearly everyone currently in town had gathered here.
As the only large-scale event with significant player participation during the beta testing of the Netherworld Gates, both veteran players who had tediously leveled up and newcomers who had moved bricks all day were a bit excited.
Mainly because someone finally remembered that there was such a concept as 'gourmet food' in this game.
Among the veteran players, many were intensity gamers who turned gaming into a job, with guarantor players like Human Soul leading the clubs.
These folks would directly place food into their system backpacks and use it with one click to fill their hunger in the Twisted Jungle dungeon runs... Taste? I don't need taste!
I just want to make money from dungeon runs!
As for new players, many who logged in late haven't eaten anything in the game until now. Read new chapters at empire
Now, standing at one end of the Harvest Festival street, tasting the scent of food bursting forth, they salivated as those things smelled so delicious!
In fact, most of the residents of Titan Town hadn't experienced such a lively scene either.
The festival of the Harvest Goddess, to be held normally, required a Church of the Harvest Goddess in the area, and previously the Lancaster Territory had no church at all, let alone a festival, or even a chance to organize a "Nun and Fish" event.
So, the town becoming this lively was a novel experience for them.
Of course, the main draw was the advertisement put out by the Earth Mother Goddess Church—
Attend the festival and enjoy the food provided by the Church, but with the stipulation that none of it is wasted! Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
After hearing this news, many didn't even eat dinner but eagerly waited to feast at the festival.
It wasn't about greed—it was simply an opportunity to benefit while enjoying the festival atmosphere, which was very tempting for them.
Of course, the celebration also attracted many from Titan Town who worked in the catering industry.
They came to set up their stall here at the invitation of the Earth Mother Goddess Church.
However, the food they sold was not free.
However, compared to the locals, the players who had heard the news and came to set up stalls played a variety of tricks.
"Barbecued rats, barbecued rats, three dollars each, ten dollars for three!"
"Claypot rice! Claypot rice! Freshly cooked claypot rice stuffed with goodness, come and buy!"
"Oysters, oysters, charcoal-grilled garlic oysters, a gas station for men, a beauty salon for women, come and buy them fast!"
...
"Kael, are those the Undead that are famously rumored in the Royal Capital? They don't seem as terrifying as the students at the academy described," Elanna said curiously, sharing a warhorse with Kael.
Their party had already arrived at the festival venue.
Kael nodded to the Rangers stationed at the entrance, and several excited Rangers came over to Kael's side and helped them guide their horses and carts to a nearby sentry's gateway for proper placement.
Kael patted their shoulders and said, "Today's festival has many supporters present, so we can relax a bit in terms of defense.
Since it's a festival, everyone should enjoy it together. The Rangers and sentries staying here can take turns in three batches to join the celebration.
You can freely enjoy the food at the scene. As long as there is no wastage, the Lord Mansion will cover everyone's expenses tonight."
A few Rangers hesitated, feeling somewhat troubled.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands clapped on their backs, and a thunderous voice erupted, "You lads, just accept what Lord Kael has promised. Just stay alert later, and enjoy yourselves, haha…"
The speaker was Barry.
This Old Knight, who hadn't been back for some time, held considerable prestige among the Rangers. Seeing his superior, Captain Wilfo also standing next to the Lord and rarely smiling at them, he said:
"Alright, stop staring. I permit it. Of course, if you can rest and there's still unrest here tomorrow morning, you wouldn't want to see me on the training ground."
A few Rangers smiled awkwardly.
They naturally knew that their captain was a competitive man. Previously, when pursuing escaped Barbarians, someone escaped under their watch, and they had been awkward about it ever since.
Especially during this period, when he taught an Undead curse swordsman his skills, he did not expect that the person would casually use it a few times and accurately master the curse swordsman's "Curse Power Release" skill.
This dealing was not small to Captain Wilfo.
For years, what Wilfo had been most proud of was that he took six days to successfully master the "Curse Power Release" skill.
Unexpectedly, now any Undead could use it smoothly after only a few seconds of his demonstration.
He still remembered how that chatty "Nai Feitian" excitedly asked Captain Wilfo if there were other skills after learning the skill.
Since that day, Captain Wilfo had nearly doubled his own training intensity, and the training intensity for the squad's Rangers also significantly increased.
Now seeing the captain smiling, they couldn't immediately tell whether it was a devilish grin or he was trying to console them.
