Become a martial girl

Chapter 256 The Beautiful Forest City

Huo Meng continued to put his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly: "Of course! I often deal with the people of His Majesty the King! Girl, are you sent by His Majesty the King to inspect? Why didn't you learn our language well, so you ran here? And, um, the inspection team this time is really weird. There are even children?"

If you speak the same language, things will be easier.But Mengdie was a little embarrassed by what Huo Meng said.Yes, she does not understand many languages ​​of the world.Forget dwarves, elves, dialects.Even the words she's saying now she doesn't know how to spell many of them.

(Uh... It's really great to have Xiu here... It's great that other people know multiple languages... Miserable, why do I have such a desperate idea?)
"We...we are not sent by Luwell! We just have some business and want to visit Tonghammer City!" Mengdie dared not say that I came to find your artifact, so she could only say a few perfunctory words casually.

Huo Meng took the skin bag from Xio and hung it on his waist.Then, he walked to the monster, pulled out the giant ax that was almost the same size as his body, washed it in the puddle next to it, and put it on his waist.Afterwards, he dragged one of the monster's tails and put it on his shoulders, dragged a few steps backwards, turned around and laughed and said, "It's okay! Dwarves are born to be a hospitable race! Come on, come on! Help me stop it!" Such a rare food, I should treat you well. And you are lucky, we are preparing for the 'Pulok Festival' recently. More guests will naturally make it more lively!"

The Puluoke Festival, which is equivalent to the Chinese New Year on Earth, is a very important sacrificial activity for the dwarves.Legend has it that a long time ago, the great dwarf warrior Proco has been with the goddess after being sealed by the gods and demons. Blessed by the goddess, he has a lifespan that cannot be counted by all the fingers of a hundred dwarves.He is the most loyal servant of the goddess, and has helped the goddess manage the world together for a long time.In the subsequent Battle of the Conferred Gods, as one of the goddess' most loyal fighters, he fought against the gods and demons until the last moment.Although the goddess was sealed in the end and he was also exiled, but with his natural cheerfulness, Proco stayed with his tribe, drinking and singing on a small island in the south full of sweet fruits, happily spending his whole life.This festival is a grand ceremony held to commemorate this great hero and his never-ending stomach!

But... because the dwarves often forget about things when they are immersed in research, the festival that was originally once a year in ancient times has been passed down to once every four years now.As for which day to hold in the fourth year, no one deliberately stipulates that it is completely decided by the members of each tribe by drawing lots.Therefore, some travelers once described in their writings that they participated in four Proco festivals of different dwarf tribes in a year.

In the first half of the year when the festival is about to begin, the dwarves must forget about their work and devote themselves to preparing for the festival.This has become the "law" between the various dwarven tribes.However, there are various forms of ceremonies, and there is no uniform regulation.Since the dwarves are not lacking in creativity, almost every festival has someone come up with a new trick, make something new, and create new entertainment.That's why the Dwarves' Proco Festival is also known as the "Fiery Veil". You can never use the form of the last festival to guess what the next festival will look like.

But even so, the basic principle of the Proco Festival is nothing more than eating and drinking, singing and dancing, and having fun sweeping away the work pressure of the past four years.

Dragging the animal that Huo Meng called "Three-tailed Fat Cow" (Mengdie couldn't figure out how this thing with fangs, scales, and webbed feet looked like a cow), and the group People followed Huo Meng while listening to him introduce the origin and development history of the Proco Festival.Unlike general historical commentary, Huo Meng's tone was very relaxed and cheerful, and his commentary did not make people feel like there was any concept of endorsement.Hearing that Mengdie and his party were enjoying themselves, before they knew it, everyone followed Huo Meng to Tonghammer City.

Although it was called a city, the scene that appeared in front of Mengdie didn't have the brick and tile atmosphere that a "city" should have!This Copper Hammer City was not built in an open place, but in a forest!Look at the exquisite tree houses on the towering trees, and then look at the basements that are hidden underground and only reveal an exit!This is a city built in the middle of the forest, almost completely integrated with the forest!

"(Dwarven) Hey! Ron! I'm back with friends!"

Huo Meng pushed away a thing made of tree vines on the outskirts of the city, which looked like a train interception pole, and dragged three fat cows into it.He greeted another dwarf who was leaning against the door and drinking heavily.The dwarf stared with drunken eyes, swayed a few steps, responded casually to Hormon, and drank again.

"Come in! My friend! The festival is about to start, and everything is in chaos! The greeting may not be thoughtful, so don't run away! Hahaha!"

Mengdie glanced at the dwarf who was watching the door, frowned, and followed him in.Seeing this scene, she almost couldn't believe her eyes.How could such a loosely guarded village be able to withstand the trampling of Luwell's cavalry three times?It is impossible to say that Luwell deliberately released water.The only explanation is that these dwarves are usually careless, but they do have their own unique skills in combat.

Follow Huo Meng to walk in the streets full of tree houses, the passages and stairs on the ground are all made of rattan.It looks both beautiful and full of vitality.All the way through, Hormon was loudly greeting the dwarves around him.The dwarves, regardless of gender, age or age, did not show the slightest suspicion when they saw Mengdie and the others, and all looked at them friendly.Apart from not being able to understand the words of the dwarves, Mengdie couldn't help being moved by this feeling of being at home.

"It's so lively~~~"

Nia had already got off the back of the white wolf, and she was very excited by the lights and festoons on the street all the way.The lamp posts that emit colorful colors without magic, the banners hanging between the branches, and even those sixteen-color stairs that play corresponding music as soon as you step on them, all make this little girl smile.
