Chapter 37 Ceremony and Celebration
After talking with Elsa and Jolde, Ron also learned about their origins and some past deeds.

Elsa is 16 years old and her brother Jold is a local resident of West Balam. However, unlike Roy, their father did not abandon them, but became victims of the chaos and colonial conflicts in West Balam. .

Their mother also died suddenly of illness after her husband's death, leaving only the two siblings to depend on each other.

Because they had no relatives in West Balam, and their appearance was extremely obvious in the Southern Continent, they encountered a lot of discrimination and have been homeless in nearby towns.

It wasn't until they met Roy Moore in Putuo City that the three poor children hugged each other for warmth and found a place to stay in this small town.

At least you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain or blown by the wind.

"Ron, does Backlund really have gas lights that light up the entire city at night?"

"I heard from my father that there is almost everything there, and there are people of all races, and there will be no discrimination!"

"Ron, Ron, I heard that Backlund is very rich and everyone yearns for it. The people who live there must be very happy!"

After getting acquainted with Ron, the three boys and girls were no longer wary of this strange boy who suddenly appeared in Putuo City, but began to ask curious questions.

It was only now that they let go of their adult appearance and became truly curious about everything like children.

Ron was also replying dutifully, but his answers were extremely realistic, and every word he said exposed the wonderful fantasies of the three innocent children.

Obviously, this alien, who has a bit of humanity but not much, does not have a very high emotional intelligence.

"No, those street lights cannot illuminate the entire city. This will not be the case in some places where poor people live, such as the East Side, where street lights are often damaged and very sparse."

"In fact, Backlund is discriminatory, but most of the people they discriminate against are the savage Fusac and the Intis people who are as fancy as roosters."

"Most of Backlund's wealth is in the hands of big businessmen, bankers, and nobles. In fact, many people there are still living a life of black bread in the morning, black bread at noon, and black bread in the evening."

Ron spoke unhurriedly about the information obtained from divination from the spirit world, not noticing the disbelieving expressions on the faces of the three children.

After all, for them, the unreachable Backlund is not only a reminder of their deceased relatives, but also their yearning and fantasy for a better life.

"This, this sounds worse than Putuo City!"

"At least here we still have Gwadar and those wild fruits picked in the wild!"

The youngest Jorde was a little shocked. The almost perfect Backlund he imagined seemed to be easier to survive than this small border town in the Southern Continent.

"No, Jolde, this is wrong!"

"Every place has a good side and a bad side, and we cannot deny the good side because of some of its shortcomings!"

Roy Moore spoke anxiously, cheering Jord from the side.

This young man with rough blond hair and green eyes has great enthusiasm for everything.

Even though he himself was severely hit by Ron's words, he did not forget to comfort Yoder at this time and try to cheer him up again.

Elsa, on the other hand, sat aside and watched this scene, covering her mouth and snickering. As a girl with a more delicate mind, her thoughts and breadth were more complicated than those of the two boys. After listening to Ron's words, although she was also hit and felt depressed, she quickly realized that fantasies were just fantasies after all.

"By the way, Roy, did you know that Putuo City is preparing for a sacrifice tonight. It seems that the Restoration Association defeated the Fusac people on the front line and recaptured many cities occupied by those barbarians."

"Festival celebration!?"

Hearing Elsa say this, Roy Moore was distracted and immediately changed the topic to the ritual celebration.

"The city of Putuo will definitely become very lively!"

"Yeah! And there will be all kinds of food at the celebration that you can't see now!"

"We can take this opportunity to go to the city to store more necessary items!"

The young girl took over the conversation, like a real housekeeper, counting the things to be done in this celebration one by one with her fingers.

This celebration, which evolved from the traditional beliefs of the southern continent, is a rare celebration for other local residents, but for these three and a half-year-old children, it is the best time to stock up on daily necessities!
Because in normal times, the people here would not be so generous. They would drive away Elsa and others who have Loen blood and look different from them.

In festivals, due to the large flow of people, they are often ignored. With this opportunity, they can find many valuable items, as well as the worn-out utensils that have been discarded by the residents.

This is a rare "treasure" for them!
Perhaps they were looking forward to the very lively death celebration at night, or perhaps they felt that they would definitely gain something tonight. Roy, Elsa, and Jorde all had smiles of excitement and anticipation on their faces.

"Ron, do you want to come with us?"

Roy Moore noticed the curiosity of his new friend and extended an enthusiastic invitation to him.

Before Ron could push up his monocle to respond, he heard Elsa, who was sitting on the shabby chair in front of him, refute Roy's words.

"Ron is a guest and a true Loen gentleman. How could he follow us to do those things!?"

The girl's mind has always been very delicate. From the moment she first met Ron, she already knew that Ron was not a person in the same world as them.

Because of the other party's delicate face, delicate skin and tight-fitting and gorgeous clothes, although Elsa didn't know much about Ron's clothes, this did not prevent her from seeing the value of Ron's clothes.

She didn't dare to expect too much, and was even slightly repelled by Ron, because his appearance undoubtedly broke their numb life of repeating each day.

"No, it doesn't matter. I think the celebration you mentioned is very interesting!"

"And a gentleman should be there for his friends who need help. You guys should need help, right?"

Ron pushed up his monocle, causing the lens to reflect a bright white light inside the not-so-bright wooden house.

Everything he just said was a lie. His only friend was Hazel. The three people in front of him were not his friends.

But there was a certain reason why he wanted to stay with these three people. He wanted to figure out one thing.

That is, in such an oppressive, depressed, and obviously hopeless environment, how do they manage to be full of hope and expectation for life?
This made this alien god with little humanity very, very curious, because the emotions they displayed were completely different from the gloomy, desperate, and numb emotions of Backlund and Tingen who grew up in the East End and Dockside!
