When the bell rang again in the early morning, Chen Kai and the others who had been in the Penn Hotel for two days were awakened by a huge cheer and bell. When they opened the curtains, they found that the outside had turned into a sea of ​​joy. Since Pezaros' winter festival never had a fixed start date, most of them included the first day when the heavy snow stopped as the start date of the winter festival. On the calendar, this day is usually between October 23 and November 8, and the range is relatively large.

Therefore, although people who start preparing when heavy snow begins to fall or when the weather starts to cool down in October are still caught off guard when the heavy snow falls. However, the winter festival activities have lasted for hundreds of years, so most residents are already familiar with a complete process. Generally, the first day of the winter festival, that is, the moment the heavy snow stops, is the time for everyone to get up.

This time is difficult to grasp in reality, but in the game, especially in the magical world dominated by gods, the Temple of Natural Gods has an extremely powerful say in the heavy snow stop. When the snowfall outside Pezaros was still flying outside the city of Pezaros, the snowfall in the city had stopped under the influence of the goddess of winter...

In fact, the entire Pezaros Winter Festival officially opened does not start with the snow below, but with the ice and snow altar of the goddess of winter. This ice and snow altar does not appear regularly in Pezaros, it will only appear anywhere in the city streets of Pezaros. When people sweep away the snow accumulated on the ground on the last night, they can find the altar under the snow. Therefore, generally speaking, after 10 o'clock in the evening, the residents of Pezaros rarely take to the streets, but they will wake up early the next morning and clean up all the snow on the streets at the entrance.

Especially when the snowfall stops, everyone will be very careful when cleaning the ground. When they find an altar similar to an ice sculpture, they will clean it carefully. However, the altar of the ice sculpture built on the ground is extremely strong. Even if it is continuously knocked with a heavy hammer, it may not necessarily destroy a corner. This year's altar appeared less than 200 meters away from the Penn Hotel rented by Chen Kai and the others. It is precisely because of this that everyone was bombarded from the bed by noisy sounds early in the morning.

For ordinary residents, the appearance of the altar represents the arrival of good luck, because they can offer sacrifices to the goddess of winter through the altar. It may not be as expensive as the finances. Anything that they cherish most will be exchanged for them to enjoy. For example, a poor farmer exchanged his most precious vest for ten brilliant and glowing mitral coins. Compared with his vest that has been peeled off for more than ten years, ten mitral coins are almost equivalent to his wealth for decades. Therefore, whenever an altar appears in a place, people will flock to sacrifice.

I hope to exchange what I think I value the most for better things. But later people gradually discovered that what they wanted to exchange was not necessarily what they wanted to get. Because when they sacrificed what they thought they valued more, the mood was different from the mood of the farmer who first sacrificed. One was because of poverty and unable to make a living, and the other was because of greed. Although the sacrifice still existed now, it was only for the sacrifice of the goddess of winter and no one exchanged the precious things they did. Occasionally, some people would receive rewards from gods, but that was not very precious.

But for ordinary poor people, sacrifice is the opportunity they are closest to gods in their lives. And the most important thing is that even if they sacrifice something that is not very valuable, they will get a little bit of divine grace. Whether it is to relieve pain or treat diseases, the goddess of winter Adela of the Goddess of nature can mobilize the natural power of the goddess of nature to complete it. Winter represents the coldness of all things, but it is also the time for vitality to breed. In fact, when the three goddesses, namely the three goddesses of life, the priesthood of resurrection and reproduction is managed by the goddess of nature, the goddess of winter and the goddess of spring. However, as the goddess of nature and the goddess of earth fell asleep, the priesthood of reproduction and reproduction began to be controlled by the goddess of life alone. But this does not mean that the goddess of winter cannot be mobilized. In fact, as the only natural god who is still loyal to the goddess of nature, the goddess of winter can not only mobilize the power of this priesthood but also mobilize the healing power of the goddess of life.

For most civilians, these healing powers are enough, because most civilians' physical diseases only require a little healing power to be cured. If they cannot be cured, they can only delay their death time. In the game, the gods are not omnipotent. At least so far, no god can announce that they can snatch the souls that are not believers from the hands of Antolo of the Pluto and resurrect him again in the human world. Even believers can only be resurrected in the kingdom of God, and it is impossible to resurrect them in the human world. So far, the only ones that are considered to be resurrected by the dead are probably those dead creatures. But they cannot be regarded as creatures at all. They can only be said to be dead people who have escaped from the control of Antolo of the Pluto. In fact, the most powerful thing to deal with the dead is not

What kind of sacred power is it, but the sacrifice of the Temple of the Pluto. However, the sacrifice of the Temple of the Pluto generally has no intention of interfering with the resurrected undead. In fact, the Temple of the Pluto is completely a transcendent existence in the game. It does not require the faith of believers, and no player has successfully joined the temple. In fact, for players, the Temple of the Pluto is just a place for resurrection in the city. If there is no Temple of the Pluto, they have to climb out of the tomb in the wild cemetery. Because of this transcendent attitude, even in places that have been occupied by the Dark Pluto Council, the Temple of the Pluto still exists, and even in the holy cities such as the City of Darkness or the City of Light, which belongs to the Lord of the Darkness or the Lord of the Light, there is a Temple of the Pluto.

Antolo Pluto may not be the god who is believed most, but he is definitely the god who has the most temples. Even in some places in the wild, there are his temples or dilapidated temples. Of course, some temples in the wild are generally abandoned, and they are full of various dead creatures, which is the place that players like the most and hate the most. It is because Ando Pluto likes to place various magical items in his temple. Every temple of Pluto is very rich, but the mechanisms and various powerful dead creatures inside will cause any invaders to die.

Today's Pezaros' protagonist is definitely not Antolo who only knows how to hide in the underworld, but Adella, the most popular goddess of winter in Pezaros. In fact, when the owner of Penn Hotel knew that the altar appeared not far from his hotel early in the morning, the entire hotel began to fall into an extremely lively scene. However, Chen Kai and the others were still sleeping without any intention to get up. In Chen Kai and the others' eyes, the hotel owner looked like the pilgrims who were rushing to burn incense during the New Year in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. However, the temples and the immortals in reality are all illusory, and the gods in the game are more real than those indigenous people.

However, Chen Kai and the others finally underestimated the enthusiasm of the Pezaros people for the gods. They were finally awakened from the room by the noisy sound of the crowded crowd, and then had to walk out of the room after washing up. In the hotel room, everyone could do one thing after getting up, but Chen Kai could not, that was to stretch because he was too tall. He couldn't straighten his waist in the room even if he was lying on the bed, and he lived in the hotel room without a bed. His huge body allowed him to sleep on the floor. Fortunately, the owner of the Penn Hotel was a boss who took good care of customers. He directly used sixteen quilts to cushion Chen Kai underneath and turned into the softest mattress.

Of course, after Chen Kai left, he thought of the effect of the sixteen quilts. The owner of Penn Hotel directly launched a super big bed, which was four meters long and three meters wide enough to allow three or four people to sleep together. Of course, this big bed was very happy by those with special preferences, so in the Payne Hotel, he saw someone hugging two or three beauties in and out every day. Of course, this was already the matter after Chen Kai and the others left. Now there is no such big bed at Penn Hotel, so Chen Kai could only put it on the floor.

Although sleeping in the place made Chen Kai very uncomfortable. The blanket made of three quilts was very soft and made Chen Kai sleep very comfortable. But he knew that such a day was about to end, because according to Hammerta, when the winter festival began, when the heavy snow stopped, they would continue on their journey to Kazmodo in one day and then Chen Kai would sleep in the snow again. But today Chen Kai could still enjoy the sunshine after the heavy snow, if there would be a sun in the sky of Pezaros.

In fact, when Chen Kai walked out of the hotel gate, he knew that the idea of ​​basking in the sun could not be realized. Although the heavy snow had stopped, the sky was still covered with clouds. A few rays of sunlight were vaguely shining. On the snow layer, light golden light was reflected, but it was just a fleeting light. As a crowd continued to flow towards the street where the hotel was located, Chen Kai and his friends tragically discovered that it became almost impossible to get out of the hotel, because people on the whole street had to passively join the crowd. Whether it was Chen Kai, who was huge in body or Fei Yun, who was agile, they were extremely afraid of such things, so they finally chose to stay in the hotel.

Perhaps in order to thank Goddess of Winter, Boss Payne, who has always seemed stingy to others, was extremely generous and invited everyone a piece of cream bread. The reason why there was only one piece was very simple. The existence of Chen Kai, a foodie, made him give up the idea of ​​treating everyone to a breakfast. If he was just going to treat everyone to a breakfast, Chen Kai would probably kill seven or eight adult foods. In addition, the mercenaries such as Hammerta, who also had a bigger appetite than ordinary people, would probably make Payne directly in the end.

The boss paid a lot of money. However, the hotel guests were very satisfied with each person's cream bread. Of course, it was not that they could not afford such bread. In fact, those who could afford the hotel would basically not be able to afford fifty copper coins to buy a piece of such bread. After all, the accommodation fee for Penn Hotel in one night costs at least fifty silver coins. As the most complete and largest hotel in Pezaros, the Penn Hotel with 200 rooms is definitely the Hilton in the game. The lobby of the hotel alone is comparable to a four-star wine.

The store is so big. Of course, the accommodation fee of dozens of silver coins is definitely the smallest room in Penn Hotel. Chen Kai lives in the room for two gold coins every day because his body is too huge and he can only live in the largest aristocratic room in the hotel. The facilities of this room are the best in the entire Penn Hotel, equivalent to the presidential suite in the game. The rooms rented by others are not cheap either. Because the mercenaries all want to have private space, Chen Kai and his group basically packed the entire first floor of the hotel.

The rent for the room alone is as high as 100 gold coins. However, after two days of stay, Chen Kai spent nearly 500 gold coins. Of course, more than 300 is the cost of eating. After all, the mercenaries have a big appetite and have to eat at least 150 gold coins every day. This is the result of their purchase of ingredients to compensate for part of it. If this is not the case, Chen Kai might have to take out thousands of gold coins for the food fee alone. After all, the group is too edible, and Chen Yi, a prodigal young lady, basically orders the most expensive dish in the hotel every time.

Although the dishes were cut off by Chen Kai in the end, Chen Kai still had to take out more than 300 gold coins to pay for the group's appetite. Although the hotel owner Payne was very unhappy with Chen Kai's frugal behavior, he didn't say anything. After all, even if Chen Kai was frugal and his group's two-day consumption contributed by Penn's hotel was equivalent to one month's income.

Of course, even if Chen Kai saves expenses in the hotel, with Chen Yi, a prodigal girl, he still feels that his money is flowing out as a sister. Even if Su Wan prevents Chen Yi from shopping, it is useless, because sometimes Su Wan himself will join in the crazy shopping activities. Whether in reality or in the game, festivals are the peak season for consumption. Due to the influence of real players, the indigenous merchants in the game have begun to learn to sell discounts and promotions during festivals to increase sales. As a result, before Chen Kai discovered it, Chen Yi and Su Wan had already purchased a bunch of souvenirs called winter festivals. The winter festival sunny doll worth ten silver coins, the winter goddess altar pattern engraving necklace worth fifty silver coins, the winter goddess portrait necklace worth ten gold coins, the ice crystal necklace worth fifty gold coins, and so on.

Looking at the long list of items, Chen Kai had the idea of ​​slapping his forehead and crying. What made him most heartbreaking was the final bill number. The number that took Xu Fei nearly two hours to count was shocking. Chen Kai could not understand how the pile of small wooden boxes that were only a meter and a half square would cost more than 50,000 gold coins.

"Okay! Girl. All pocket money this month is deducted! Don't think of getting a gold coin from me again. It's impossible to remember one!!" Chen Kai roared at Chen Yi. Of course, there was Su Wan. Although Chen Kai didn't want to get angry, he spent nearly 50,000 gold coins to buy such a bunch of things that were useless. Chen Kai still felt quite angry. You should know that according to the market, the price of 50,000 gold coins is at least equivalent to 60,000 yuan. This is the current government-subscribed exchange price. If it is a black market exchange, it can be at least doubled.

"Why are you so fierce? My brother didn't spend it alone, and my sister-in-law bought it. Are you planning to deduct even your sister-in-law's pocket money?" Chen Yi said in a very gentle voice, but this time she really hit Chen Kai's gun, because Chen Kai was in financial tension for a while. The gold coins in his pocket were less than 200,000 gold coins. If Chen Yi continued to spend this way, he probably would have to go to drink the northwest wind before he arrived at Kazmodo.

"Of course it's true! Not only do you and Su Wan have no pocket money, but I am the same myself!" Chen Kai's words blocked the last road. He didn't look at Chen Yi's pouting mouth, but threw the box of jewelry and souvenirs to Su Wan. When Chen Kai slowly left the room, Chen Yi's pouting mouth was slightly lowered, and then took out his own purse from his pocket and counted it. He sighed relieved.

"Fortunately there is still some private money! By the way, Sister Su, why don't we buy the ice crystal diamond now? I think you like it very much!! Well? Brother, why are you here again?" Chen Yi suddenly saw Chen Kai who was supposed to leave squeezed in from the gate again, and hurriedly stuffed his wallet behind him, but he didn't expect that Chen Kai could still be Chen Yi's guardian in the game. The guardian can take away some of the items of the guardian under the rules set in advance. The guardian rule signed by Chen Kai and Chen Yi includes the supervision property. Even if Chen Yi stuffs the wallet into his backpack, Chen Kai can still get it.

"I almost forgot that you still have private money! This is the one who pays the public!!" Chen Kai turned around and left, not giving Chen Yi a chance to ask for it. As a result, the poor prodigal mother Chen Yi is now really penniless.

"Sister-in-law! I'm bankrupt, support me!!" Chen Yi looked at Su Wan with a bitter face. You should know that in fact, Chen Yi forced Su Wan to buy these things. She originally thought that Chen Kai would not do anything to Su Wan for the sake of Su Wan's face, but she found out that it seemed that Su Wan was not worth it now.

"Haha! Little girl, I haven't settled the score with you yet? I haven't married your brother yet, don't call my sister-in-law so quickly! Why do I think you are so happy to pull me out shopping? It turns out that I am using me as a shield. How do you think I should fix it?" Su Wan pinched Chen Yi's little face and showed an evil smile, and then kept rubbing her cheeks and making various grimaces.

"Can you pay for your debts? I'll let my brother accompany you!!" Chen Yi's voice changed a little because of the rubbing of her cheeks, but it still appeared clearly in Su Wan's ears.

"Get out! Little nymph, I won't get rid of the tiles for three days, let's see how my sister repairs you!!" As Su Wan's words fell, Chen Yi's laughter with screams quickly rang out in the room. This was the last relaxing day in Pezaros. They were accompanied by Pezaros's fun fireworks and preparing to leave Pezaros needed, constantly strengthening the axle of the carriage and adding anti-freeze grease to the axle balls. The most important thing is to add a thick layer of felt on the sheds of all carriages, which not only prevents moisture and waterproof, but also ensures the temperature in the carriage. Of course, all the wounded were left in Pezaros. After all, they were no longer suitable to continue on the road. Then Hammerta recruited more than twenty honest mercenaries in the Mercenary Association. Although his strength was not high, he was more loyal, and at least he would not betray the owner.
