Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 380 Carnival
Baldur's Gate and Eltoril officially established diplomatic relations, and after the enthronement ceremony, it was the third day 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 ruined avenue to thank the gods.

People do need to vent their emotions. 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 sadness to a great extent.

This dangerous world is never gentle. People are destined to experience many life and death separations in the process of growing up, a man-made disaster, a natural disaster, a harsh tyrant, a group of roaming bandits, a monster suddenly rushing out of the forest, and a giant dragon accidentally passing by in the sky.

Few people experience all of the above, but almost no one can avoid them completely. Experiences make people grow and develop a heart strong enough to adapt to this world.

At this time, Noshir also found a lively open-air tavern and joined in the carnival with his friends.

But during this celebration he deliberately concealed his original appearance and used the crown's transformation ability to change his image. He did so because of his fame.

After yesterday's enthronement ceremony, his fame has spread throughout Eltoril. The sudden increase in fame has brought him a lot of troubles. Many people are deliberately looking for him, the hero who saved the holy city.

Many people wanted to say thank you to him in person, and at yesterday’s enthronement ceremony, El Toril’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 enough to escape on the day the city fell. He could have just left, but he finally chose to come back, go to hell, and bring all of them back with him.

If it weren't for Noshier, they would not have been able to get rid of that nightmare so quickly. They all knew this, and most people were grateful to him for this. The specific manifestation was that after yesterday's enthronement ceremony, he was almost drowned by the surging crowd. In order not to repeat yesterday's mistake, he deliberately changed his image.

At this moment, he was sitting at a small table on the corner of the street with Scar and Karak. People were coming and going around them, but few people turned their eyes to them because Scar was also disguised.

Because he presented Eltoril's heirloom weapon at the awarding ceremony, and he himself was a member of the Hell Knights, although it was not his original intention, his reputation did become extremely famous. Although not as famous as Noshir, it was already enough to affect his travels.

Under duress, he also put on the disguise props provided by Noshir, which was the disguise hat seized from Tavis, but Karak did not have their worries.

Because she has no relevant fame at all, as long as she covers the translucent and eye-catching Hell Engine on her chest, she will naturally not attract too much attention.

"Gudong gudong~ha! I thought I would never be able to drink this kind of wine again in my life. I want another glass!"

"Woo~ There's still meat. Another plate of barbecue!"

"Eat slowly, Karak. There is still a lot of meat. There is no need to eat so quickly. And Skar, there is still a lot of wine. Don't drink too much wine, or you won't be able to eat the meat soon."

Scar laughed loudly, then nodded to Noshir with a smile. Ever since the city returned three days ago, his spirits have been very high. At this banquet, he even drank three cups of Balor Flame Ale without feeling drunk at all. 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 life I'm living in hell - a hard life, gulp ~ ha! I thought I would never be able to eat such delicious food again in my life! Do you know how bad the food is in hell? The most delicious thing in that damn place is the Abyss Chicken, but that thing is so ugly that you can spit out your lunch three days ago after just one look at it!" Karak whimpered for a long time and finally swallowed the remaining meat in his mouth. After hearing what Karak said, Noshil silently put down the mead in 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?"

"Of course I have! It's ugly, but it's the only thing in hell that I think tastes good. Other foods are even harder to swallow. And it's fine as long as you don't think about its original appearance when you eat it. Just roast it and stuff it into your mouth with your eyes closed."

Ah, you are so right, these are such hard days.

After hearing Karak's miserable speech, Noshir couldn't persuade her not to overeat. She had finally returned to the main material plane, so he should let her enjoy herself.

"…for your bravery."

Noshir raised his glass silently.

"Hahaha! Cheers to Karak!"

Karak also laughed and raised his glass. They drank from the afternoon to the evening. Many interesting things happened during this time. For example, Karak suddenly met Master Jaheira who came to look for Noshir. The master had received a message from Harsin and wanted to confirm Noshir's safety.

Originally, Noshir had not informed Master Harsin about his trip to Hell. In order not to make him worry too much, he had only told him that he was going to Baldur's Gate to avoid the limelight.

Originally he had done a good job of keeping it a secret, but the bards who had been coming and going over the past few days had gradually spread his deeds throughout the North, and even Harsin had heard about it.

The master nearly had a heart attack when he realized that his adopted son had been wandering in hell for nearly a month without his knowledge. On the same day he learned about this, he immediately activated the sound transmission stone that he had given to Noshir before he left.

But Noshir was in the mood to celebrate, and he had placed the sound transmission stone in the space box, so he could not sense the sound of the stone being activated at all. This forced Halsin to change his target and contact him indirectly through Master Jaheira.

Afterwards, Noshir silently took out the sound stone, found a secluded place and bowed his head to be scolded, while Karak had an expression as if she had seen her idol, and tremblingly wanted Zhang Jiashira's autograph. She was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly.

In this way, everyone spent a relatively pleasant day. When the bright moon was high in the sky, the city-wide carnival party finally came to an end. Those who still had houses to live in returned to their homes to rest, and the homeless were also distributed tents and sleeping bags.

Almost no one was completely drunk, because everyone understood that there would be busier work to do tomorrow, so people deliberately controlled their alcohol intake.

Although Noshier did not have those concerns, he did not let himself get so drunk that he could not even lift his head, so he did not drink any strong liquor at the banquet. However, this was meaningless. After all, with his current physical condition, there was no liquor in the world that could make him drunk.
