Reckless Through The New World

Chapter 713: Back to Raccoon Town

When the news that all four "Demon Kings" had been eliminated came back to Raccoon Town, all the residents couldn't help rejoicing, and the village chief even said that a huge ceremony would be held to celebrate this great victory.

Panda and the others took a while to clear the mine, and when they returned to Raccoon Town, the ceremony had already begun. I saw the bright red ribbon extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, like a fire, burning up along the rugged and steep mountain road, burning the sky, and burning people's hearts.

When they walked to the pass at the foot of the mountain, the militiamen all changed into red clothes. When they saw them coming in a hurry, they came up to welcome them one by one with smiles all over their faces.

"I didn't expect your celebration to be so large!" Laisha said in surprise, "I thought it was a party for dinner or something."

"The so-called celebration, of course, needs to be bigger!" The gray-haired militia captain was in great spirits today, and he looked like he was several years younger. "We haven't held a celebration for a long time!"

Reas looked inside the room and said doubtfully, "Strange, why are all the old people on duty today? What about the boys?"

Everyone has also noticed that usually guarding the pass is an old militiaman with three or four young militiamen. But today the five on-duty militiamen in the pass are all old or semi-old, and there is not a single young man.

"Today is a big day for the boys, how can it be wasted!" a militiaman with several scars on his face said with a smile, "Anyway, we old men are useless, so let's not join in the fun. Stand up for them. It's good to stand guard."

The transmigrators looked at each other suspiciously, not understanding the logic behind these words.

"On festive days, shouldn't the old people be happy first?" Laisha asked, "When we worship ancestors, when we celebrate festivals... we will invite the old people. Unless they are too old to move around. Otherwise, there is no reason for the celebration to be attended only by young people."

"It's not surprising that the customs differ from place to place." Panda pondered for a while and said, "Maybe their custom here is 'celebrations welcome young people first'... What about our companions? Are they out, or are they in town? "

"Of course it's in town! You are our VIPs, and the best seats are reserved for you!" the militia captain said happily, "Come up quickly, have a rest, and attend the most important ceremony tomorrow!"

The passers-by nodded, said goodbye to them, and walked up the mountain road.

After walking for a while, the panda said to Laisha: "Actually, the elderly don't participate in the celebration... It's not surprising to think about this kind of thing. Their living conditions are very difficult, and the elderly are almost a burden to society. In this case, unless it is an old man with special knowledge like the village chief, the social status of the average old man is definitely not high."

Raisha sighed: "I see! They don't go to the celebration, it's not so much 'I don't want to go', it's 'They're not allowed to participate'... Right?"

"That should be it."

"Actually, this kind of thing is really not that rare." Reas said, "I remember watching Japanese anime before, and it was mentioned in it that in some poor places, the elderly would go to the mountains to seek death by themselves, not for the children. burden."

"It's an old movie, what's the mountain festival test called." Neckerhart, who was relatively older in the guild, thought about it and said, "When the old man is old, he will carry it to the mountain and abandon it... Dead bones, it is almost impossible to find a stone without dead bones..."

After speaking, he sighed: "I didn't believe it before, no matter how poor I was, I couldn't be so poor. I was fooled by a few pandas and went to participate in the summer aid activities. Those poor people in remote mountainous areas, I'm not so poor that I have to abandon the old man..."

"There is a similar plot in the twenty-four filial piety, but it is to bury the child alive for the elderly." Panda sighed, "but we all know that the twenty-four filial piety is made up to deceive people. How could it be possible to abandon the child to support the elderly? Gold was actually dug in the pit dug by a child? The poverty and hardships in ancient times are really beyond our modern imagination!"

"Yeah, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I couldn't imagine that there would be a celebration where the elderly are not welcome..." Reyas sighed, "This is not a blind date meeting!"

"Don't say it, it makes me feel like, oh, it's not good!" Klein wagged his tail and protested.

Everyone also shook their heads and sighed, no longer talking about this heavy topic, and instead discussing the harvest this time.

"I heard from them that the 'Demon King's Heart' was collected from the tree man." Panda said, "So it seems that we can come up with a material for the 'Mind-Making Ceremony'?"

"It should be possible. Xingzhao and Alfin carried a lot of precious magic materials, and the auxiliary materials are definitely enough. In terms of the main materials, 'Tears of Sigh' already exists, and the only thing missing is the 'Demon King's Heart'." Kerhart said, "But . . . who goes to the ceremony first?"

"Let the remote ones go first, improve perception, and have the best bonus effect on remote occupations," Panda said.

"Clerics can also, improving perception can improve the spell effects of clerics." Reas said.

Panda shook his head: "The spells of the clergy are actually just like that. It's not worth spending the precious materials that only have one copy to improve. In the future, if you can open a stable portal and find enough high-level monsters, We can save a lot of resources and get ourselves a 'ceremony of enlightenment' to engage in..."

Of course, we all know that this "future" has no shadow for the time being.

Xingzhao and Alphin have not been able to determine the spatial coordinates of the Western World and establish a stable portal. Even if the spatial coordinates are determined, there is still a question mark on whether the portal can be built smoothly.

There may be parallel imports in those bosses in this world, but they don't seem to be brain-dead. There are not a lot of them, but they are scattered all over the vast world, and they are not gathered together.

Once they sense the signs of the portal, they will probably swarm there, right? At that time, what everyone will face will not be one or two bosses, but a dozen or even dozens of bosses. The ones that you have seen in the game and those you have not seen in the game may appear.

With these people in front of you, can you persevere in such a scene and persist until the portal is completed and a large army comes to support?

No one has confidence.

So... maybe this ritual of enlightenment is the biggest gain that the traversers can get from this adventure.

Therefore, be sure to consider carefully, discuss repeatedly, and determine the most suitable candidate!
