Chapter 380 Carnival
Baldur's Gate and Eltoril officially established diplomatic relations, and after the ceremony of enthronement, time has come to the third day of today.
This day is a day of carnival. After two days of rest, people can finally forget their sorrow temporarily, take out the best food and wine in their homes, and celebrate with acquaintances on the still broken avenue to thank the gods.
People do need to vent well. The restoration of the city is destined to be a long project, but a city-wide banquet to celebrate the victory can dilute the previous sorrow to a great extent.
This dangerous world is never gentle. People are destined to experience a lot of life and death separations in the process of growing up, a man-made disaster, a natural disaster, a harsh tyrant, a group of wandering bandits, monsters suddenly rushing out of the forest, and a giant dragon passing by in the sky.
Few people experience all of the above, but almost no one can completely avoid them, and experience will make people grow up and grow a strong heart that is strong enough to adapt to this world.
At this time, Noshier also found a lively open-air tavern and joined the carnival with his friends.
But in this celebration, he deliberately covered his original appearance and used the crown's ability to transform himself into a different image. The reason for this was his fame.
After yesterday's ceremony, his fame had spread throughout Eltoril. The sudden increase in fame added a lot of troubles to him. Many people were deliberately looking for him, the hero who saved the holy city.
Many people wanted to thank him in person. At yesterday's ceremony, Eltoril's high-level representatives told him everything he had done without hiding anything.
Everyone knew about Noshir's feat. Everyone knew that he could have abandoned the entire city because he was lucky to escape on the day the city fell. He could have just left, but he finally chose to come back, go to hell, and then bring all of them back with him.
If it weren't for Noshir, they wouldn't have gotten rid of the nightmare so quickly. They all knew this, and most people were grateful to him. Specifically, after the ceremony of conferring the title yesterday, he was almost drowned by the surging crowd. In order not to repeat the same mistake, he changed his image.
At this time, he was sitting at a small table on the corner of the street with Scar and Karak. People came and went around them, but few people turned their eyes to them because Scar was also disguised.
Because he presented the heirloom weapon of Eltoril at the ceremony of conferring the title, and he was a member of the Knights of Hell. Although he didn't mean to do so, his reputation did become so popular. Although he couldn't catch up with Noshir, it was enough to affect his travel.
Under compulsion, he also put on the disguise prop provided by Noshir, which was the disguise hat seized from Tavis, but Karak didn't have their troubles.
Because she had no relevant fame at all, as long as she covered the translucent and eye-catching hell engine on her chest, she would naturally not attract too much attention.
"Gudong gudong~ha! I thought I would never drink this kind of wine again in my life, I want another glass!"
"Woo~ There is also meat, another plate of barbecue!"
"Eat slowly, Karak, there is still a lot of meat, there is no need to eat so quickly, and Scar, there is still a lot of wine, you don't drink too much wine, you can't eat meat in a while."
Scar laughed loudly, then smiled and nodded to Noshir. Since the return of the city three days ago, his mood has been very high. In this banquet, he even drank three glasses of Balor Flame Demon Ale without any drunkenness. Karak was even more exaggerated. Her hands basically never stopped, and she kept stuffing barbecue and bread into her mouth.
"Woo-woo-do you know what kind of hard life I've been through in hell--hard life, gulp~ha! I thought I'd never be able to eat such delicious food again in my life! Do you know how bad the food is in hell? The best thing in that damn place is the Abyss Chicken, but that thing is so ugly that you can spit out your lunch from three days ago after just one look!"
Karak sobbed for a long time and finally swallowed the remaining meat in his mouth. After hearing what Karak said, Noshir also silently put down the honey wine at his mouth and cast a look of admiration at Karak. With many memories of hell, he naturally knew what kind of creature the Abyss Chicken was. Karak was right, that thing was really ugly to the extreme.
"...Have you eaten it?"
"Of course I have! That thing is ugly, but it's the only thing in hell that I think is delicious. Other foods are even harder to swallow, and as long as you don't think about its original appearance when eating, it's fine. Just roast it and close your eyes and stuff it into your mouth."
Ah, you're right, what a hard life it is.
Hearing Karak's miserable speech, Noshir couldn't persuade her not to overeat. She finally returned to the main material plane, so she should enjoy it.
"... Cheers to your bravery."
Noshir raised his glass silently.
"Hahaha! Cheers to Karak!"
Karak also raised his glass with laughter. They drank from the afternoon to the evening. Many interesting things happened during this period. For example, Karak suddenly met Master Jaheira who came to look for Noshir. The master received a message from Harsin and wanted to confirm Noshir's safety.
Originally, Master Harsin was not informed of Noshir's trip to Hell. In order not to make him worry too much, he just told him that he would go to Baldur's Gate to avoid the limelight.
Originally, he did a good job of keeping it secret, but the bards who kept coming and going in the past few days have gradually spread his deeds throughout the North, and even Harsin heard about it.
Realizing that his adopted son had been wandering in Hell for nearly a month without his knowledge, the master was almost angry and had a heart attack. On the day he knew about this, he immediately activated the sound transmission stone given to Noshir before leaving.
But Noshir was celebrating now, and he put the sound transmission stone in the space box, and he could not sense the sound of the stone being activated at all, which forced Harsin to change his target and contact him indirectly through Master Jaheira.
Afterwards, Noshier silently took out the sound transmission stone and found a secluded place to bow his head and be scolded, while Karak had an expression of seeing an idol, trembling and trying to get Zhang Jiashira's autograph. She was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly.
In this way, everyone spent a relatively happy day. When the moon was high in the sky, the city-wide carnival banquet finally came to an end. Those who still had houses to live in returned to their homes to rest, and the homeless also had tents and sleeping bags distributed.
Almost no one was completely drunk on the ground, because everyone understood that there would be more busy work to do tomorrow, and people deliberately controlled their alcohol intake.
Although Noshier didn't have those concerns, he didn't let himself get drunk to the point that he couldn't even lift his head, so he didn't drink those high-proof liquors at the banquet, but these were meaningless. After all, with his current physique, there was no alcohol in the world that could make him drunk.
