MTL - Unexpectedly, I Traveled Again and Again-Chapter 539 Match No. 1, Friendship No.
Popular recommendation:
[Axel people who are looking forward to this day, are you ready! 】
[I officially announce! 】
【Goddess Eris & Aqua Thanks Festival has officially started! 】
As the sound of the announcement from the amplifying magic tool echoed throughout the city as a signal, at the same time all kinds of gorgeous magic were launched into the sky, which was counted as the celebration of the official start of the festival.
But the expected hot scene did not appear.
The entire Axel Novice Village was quiet, as if the enthusiasm had been burned out one step ahead.
But Zhou Fangwu knew that it was the first time for them to participate in this special ceremony, so they hadn't let go yet.
Everyone must be holding back their energy, waiting for the eruption at night.
However, Zhou Fangwu didn't have time to enjoy this kind of festival leisurely. He still had to patrol the whole town to prevent any accidents.
To be precise, it was watching those idiots taught by Axis not to make any fools.
Akuya led her little brothers—Hui Hui and Cecily to run out early in the morning, saying that they wanted to study some tactics and prepare for the evening game.
I don't know what she has to prepare for. The events for the next competition are randomly selected on the spot, so how can she be given a chance to cheat?
Of course, Darkness and Kazuma also disappeared early in the morning.
Once again Zhou Fangwu was left alone as a widowed old man.
...cough, not really.
And Betty.
Strange to say, I don't know why neither Eris nor Aqua invited Betty to join their camps.
Is it because he is afraid that he will instruct her to do things that endanger the camp?
Or was Eris and Aqua invited, but Betty simply refused because she didn't want to be a part of it and be silly with them?
Zhou Fangwu guessed that the reason was probably the latter.
But it doesn't prevent him from inviting his big elf to play in the festival.
No, it's more about finding fault than playing.
—That was the case in Cecily's eyes.
"Hey, Miss Cecily, why are there baby tadpoles of giant toads here?"
Zhou Fangwu pointed to the large bathtub in front of Cecily's booth.
The basin was filled with water, and some black tadpoles were swimming happily in it.
In addition, there are some net bags made of paper on her booth, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a goldfish game played at a festival.
"Ah, my lord! This little brother who always stared at my chest taught me, I used a little trick and he fell for it~ Then I asked him how to make money at the festival, that The little brother said that this method can be used to cheat... cough, earn a lot of money, and attract many customers (believers), killing two birds with one stone! So I did it."
She giggled and Zhou Fangwu also smiled with her.
Then he slapped her on the head, which made her cry out in pain.
"Don't laugh, idiot! Goldfish should be used here, why giant tadpoles?! What do you think about letting residents raise monsters in the town! Are you teaching Axis to recruit gangsters?!"
"Heh heh heh heh—!"
Cecily also looked in disbelief.
She said that Sato Kazuma did say that it is most orthodox to use goldfish, but unfortunately they couldn't find goldfish at all, and it was difficult to catch it.
In desperation, I chose giant tadpoles.
But since Zhou Fangwu said it, he finally chose to compromise and release these giant tadpoles.
And it's not just this, the street occupied by the Axis Cult has a serious ethos problem.
"...Why are all the Kanban girls wearing swimsuits, and they are always posing?"
"Because it can attract customers...Of course, it's also what the little brother said."
"Idiot! You are a church, not a chamber of commerce! What if you make outsiders think that the Axis Cult is that kind of church? Change it for me!"
"Hey, do you want to change this too?"
"And there...there, plus there..."
Zhou Fangwu pointed them angrily.
In fact, Sato Kazuma's way of attracting guests is correct, but it is not suitable for Axis to teach.
In addition, Cecily always likes to make her own decisions, changing a good plan to nothing.
Fortunately, Zhou Fangwu came to make an inspection early in the morning, otherwise the three days of the ceremony would be happy, and people would be panic within three months after the ceremony.
After giving some pointers, Zhou Fangwu and Betty went to the commercial street hosted by the Eris Church.
I have to say that the Eris religion is really reassuring, probably because it has been held many times and has already been handy.
All the vendors and stalls are well-regulated, and all of them sell things related to the Eris religion, such as statues of the goddess Eris, amulets, lucky lottery and so on.
When Zhou Fangwu saw it, there was a man drawing ten lots in front of the booth.
There are six winners.
It is about two-thirds of the winning rate, which can be said to be quite conscientious.
Is this the correct way to open the festival?
…Of course, there are people who have bad luck.
It’s like an adventurer in front of a booth bought a hundred lottery tickets and hoped to win a prize because of the lottery, and said: If you can’t win the lottery with these, I will convert to believe in Aqua-sama!
Then, he really missed a hit!
Luck can be said to be really bad exaggeration.
In this regard, Zhou Fangwu can only say - child, the Axis Cult is your destination.
Even luck is the same.
On the way, Zhou Fangwu and Betty met Wiz.
At this time, she is selling goods in the store.
Those wonderful magical props whose reaction is greater than the effect.
"Wiz, is this the reason you rejected Aqua? You said you have something to do, that is, sell these magic items?"
"Yes! I want to take this opportunity to see if I can sell these things!"
"...Let me tell you, Wiz. It's not that you can sell these things in another place. In the final analysis, there are problems with these products..."
"Okay! Sold out!... Huh? Wu, what did you just say?"
"...no, nothing."
Just as Zhou Fangwu was preparing to give a lecture, all the magic items in Wiz's shop were sold in the blink of an eye.
Sold out? !
Hey, the speed is too fast, don't you people look at the effect? !
So strange, really so strange!
No matter how you think about it, it's too strange that those strange magical props are sold out in an instant!
"Phew, luckily I'm smart enough to discount these magic items that no one wants, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell." Wiz wiped his sweat.
Oh, the price has been reduced, that's all right.
Although Wiz's props are very strange, the effect is still very powerful, and it can be relied on to counterattack at critical moments.
It's just that the price of these magic props is very high. Instead of buying this one, it is better to choose other more cost-effective things. Therefore, in the long run, these strange magic props Wiz could not be sold.
This time the price was reduced, and it was sold out.
It seems that those adventurers are not fools.
Gradually, the sky darkened.
The street lights on the street also turned on.
The roads of the commercial street are much more lively than usual, crowded with adventurers, people, and vendors, and all kinds of mermaids and dragons gather together.
The shopping street hosted by the Eris Church is in full swing.
In contrast, the Axis Church commercial street is empty.
It was so empty that almost no one could be seen.
Zhou Fangwu knew that all of this was due to him, because a lot of things that would harm the villagers were banned, so the shops taught by Axis could not continue to open.
"No way, just help you a little bit."
When I came to Cecily's booth, I took the shovel in her hand and started shouting.
Although most of the things have been removed, many of the reserved ingredients can still be used. In this case, Zhou Fangwu is going to make teppanyaki.
This is a food that can be eaten no matter what the ingredients are, as long as it is heated on an iron plate.
The variety of ingredients means that the taste is richer, and it also tests the chef's ability to match ingredients.
But this is not a problem for Zhou Fangwu.
His cooking skills are not as good as the master's, but he can still achieve the problem of not being unpalatable.
This is enough.
Because Zhou Fangwu's selling point is not how delicious the food is, but his status as a lord.
You know, the nobles seldom cook, let alone the [hero] who has been in the limelight recently, and he is also the lord of this town.
When everyone heard the news, they flocked to taste the dishes made by Fangwu next week.
The news spread more and more widely, more and more people knew about it, and more and more customers lined up in front of the booth.
Fortunately, Zhou Fangwu's physical strength was overwhelming, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to satisfy so many people.
Until the moon was slanted and all the ingredients were consumed, the guests left only after Zhou Fangwu kept persuading them.
And those who were not late all showed regret, and said that they must come to taste tomorrow, and the lord must prepare enough ingredients.
Really, I am not a chef.
After closing the stall, Cecily ran to Zhou Fangwu excitedly.
She shouted happily: "My lord, my lord! You've made a lot of money, you've made a lot of money!"
Seeing her happy look, it is estimated that there is a lot of turnover today.
Well, it's only natural.
Zhou Fangwu is a [hero] and also a lord. With so many identities, it is not too much to charge you twice the price for a teppanyaki, right?
Is what you eat craft?
No, what you eat is your identity!
"The rest will be left to you, Miss Cecily." Zhou Fangwu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Today it is because of my relationship that you are not prepared enough, but from tomorrow onwards, you will be responsible for everything, please continue. It’s a pretty good idea, similar to the practice of using the teaching application form as wrapping paper today.”
"Wait... Could it be that the lord will not come tomorrow? No, we need you!"
"It needs a free signboard."
"This, this... There is also a part of the reason! But the reason is not that you, the lord, have ruined our arrangements!"
Zhou Fangwu guessed her little thoughts at once, embarrassing the thick-skinned high priest.
But she is thick-skinned after all, she just blushed and returned to normal, and even complained to Zhou Fangwu quite naturally.
"That's why I will take the initiative to help you for a day...Okay, don't say any more, I won't come back tomorrow, I'll leave it to you. Come on!"
Seeing that Cecily wanted to say something, Zhou Fangwu interrupted her immediately, not giving her a chance to spoil her.
Seeing that there was no chance to take advantage of, Cecily sighed and had to give up.
"Really... I don't know what the goddess is looking for in you, it's really stingy."
"Of course it's all of them!"
Even though her voice was very small, Zhou Fangwu still heard it with his sensitive ears.
This guy really knows Akuya's true identity.
But the strange thing is that Cecily didn't move at all, and even recognized Aqua cautiously.
One must know that the fanatical followers of the Axis Cult didn't go mad after knowing Akuya's true identity.
I thought it would take a lot of trouble, but I didn't expect that I would choose to remain silent in the end.
Zhou Fangwu asked curiously: "By the way, Cecily, I have a question for you."
"What? Big sister can answer it, as long as you come to help tomorrow, even if you want me to serve or sleep~" Cecily straightened her plump body and said pretendingly seductively.
There was temptation on that pretty face, and under her special posture, the wide priest's robe outlined a bumpy figure.
If it was Sato Kazuma, he would definitely be tempted.
Well, judging from Cecily's personality, it is estimated that that ghost beast and Hezhen were set by her in this way.
"If you're not afraid of Akua getting angry, whatever you want."
"Uh... forget it then. Cough, well, I don't know what the lord wants to ask, I can answer it."
Seeing her getting serious again, Zhou Fangwu went straight to the point.
"Cecily, after seeing Aqua, what do you Axis Cult think?"
"do nothing."
"what?"
"Master Jesta doesn't say anything, it seems that he just needs to wait and see quietly."
"...Really, it's a smart move."
Zhou Fangwu really underestimated these guys.
I thought they would run over to pay their respects regardless of anything, but I didn't expect that they would choose to watch and protect quietly?
Even Zhou Fangwu suspected that only a few people knew about the existence of Akuya.
He didn't inform the Axis Cult, but chose to hide Akuya's existence.
Yes, a man with a brain.
It seems that there are a few people in the Axis Cult who can be useful.
Coincidentally, Zhou Fangwu didn't want to have anything to do with them, as long as he and Akuya could live an ordinary life, he would let them go~www.novelbuddy.com~ The time gradually passed, and it came to nine o'clock in the evening.
Originally, the first day of the festival should have ended here, but everyone's interest was even higher.
because…
"Good evening, everyone, I'm Senna! Next, I will be the host and referee of this competition. Please give me your advice!"
Miss Sena, the kingdom's prosecutor, took the initiative to serve as the host and referee of this competition.
With her upright character, both Eris and Aqua agree with her.
It's just that Akua complained a lot when she thought that she might not be able to play tricks.
"Then, before the start of the competition, our Lord Zhou Fangwu and Lord Dustinis are invited to give speeches!"
That's right.
Not only Zhou Fangwu, but Darkness's father also came.
After all, people are busy with the festival, so it is too much not to invite them to participate.
It's not easy to call Zhou Fangwu father-in-law in front of outsiders.
"Lord Dustinis?"
"You should come first, Wu."
"Also."
Zhou Fangwu stood up and shouted slogans to the two sides on the ring and the villagers standing around watching.
"Competition first, friendship second! I hope you can show your true strength while being positive!"
"Friendship comes first, competition comes second, Senior Zhou Fang!"
Although Kazuma Sato said so, the relationship between the Eris Cult and the Axis Cult is like fire and water, and they will never engage in any kind of amicable things.
"Lord Dustinis?"
"Ah, then I hope everyone can treat it as an entertainment game and have fun."
With the speeches of the two of them, the atmosphere of the game suddenly ignited.
Senna took over control of the field.
"Then, I declare—race, begin!"
