Chapter 157: Before leaving

No matter how people prepare in secret or plan for the future, this day will finally come inevitable.
A rumbling drum came from the center of the wide square, and its echo can be heard on the entire top floor; and under the crowded circles of Colosseum-style seats, the noisy festival before the beginning of the spring hunt is being held in grandeur in.
A group of dark-skinned, muscular men and women stood dancing on the tiles. They have oil paint on their faces, feathers on their heads, animal skins on their bodies, and spears or knives made of bones, in a weird posture, surrounded by a self-beating drumhead in the square, like a tribe. The people danced around the bonfire hand in hand, dancing together full of mystery.
This group of people did not know where they were invited. Although the personality of the magic tower wizards is generally more difficult to figure out than the wizards in other places, they only have the same high self-esteem. They can't do such a thing as a clown on stage.
......
Compared with the fireside meeting that can only be attended by high-level members of various schools, the Spring Festival Festival is no longer restricted to members. It is open to all residents of the top level, and even some lower-level wizards will be allowed to participate. Therefore, it is an annual magic tower. The grandest collective event. True to its name, there is no one.
Richard observed the people performing the dance with interest.
"Is that the "mountain people" of the Mayan world?"
The history of this world is like a re-enactment of real human history; however, before the distant epic—the golden age, the time when the ancient empires and the gods coexisted, there was no record that could prove that this era really happened. .
In other words, the true beginning of the new human civilization, that is, the stage from primitive tribes to city-states, is generally believed to have started in the Silver Age.
At that time, the gods ruled the earth, and gods and people lived together under the sky.
In the description of the epic, it was a prosperous and peaceful world, which is yearned by people today.
The elders and priests of the ruling tribe responsible for serving the gods and proficient in totem and witchcraft techniques, some of them are considered to be the prototypes of the "witches";
In contrast, the warriors who gain power by praying to the gods to hunt and guard the tribe, generally serving as the patriarch, are the ancestors of the future "knights".
According to the current popular Whig school historians, religion is constantly changing along with the evolution of civilization. Until now, its essence is very stable and has not changed significantly. It is the Extraordinaries who really stand out from them, and in their A secular society built on the foundation.
People dancing on the stage and wearing all kinds of weird clothes... I am afraid they are not performance art performers, but ethnic groups that do have ancient customs. Very few people can even go back to four thousand. The Silver Age a year ago.
People generally call them "mountain people".
This is a group of people who are suffering and oppressed. They often have a variety of reasons-perhaps because their ancestors have reproduced from primitive tribes in mountain settlements, or they hid in the mountains because they escaped the disaster of war. Then gradually evolved into a special ethnic group.
I heard that a considerable number of wizards would arrest people from the ethnic groups still living in the wild mountains and ridges today, as experimental objects. They have no guilt about this, because if this kind of tribe is noticed by other adventurers or bandits, it is likely to be massacred and eventually sold as slaves.
Even people in certain kingdoms on the earth would not regard the mountain people in the ruling realm as real human beings like them. Relatively speaking, the Rhine Kingdom is still a more tolerant place.

Richard looked down on the viewing platform for a while. At first he was still excited, but finally got bored and couldn't help but yawn.
He is now sitting in the hunting team about to leave.
The young wizards were divided into several groups according to their respective schools, spread out on the platform clearly, and divided into several small groups according to the distance between them.
It was not until this time that he knew that it was not only the young people on the top floor who participated in the spring hunt, but also the age-appropriate wizards in the whole magic tower. After selection, they would gather here. This was not on the same scale as the hunting moments on weekdays.
At the beginning, Richard was still wondering if anyone would come to find his own face really troublesome-this is not to say that wizards are very idle, but a kind of temptation to strange power. People who make troubles like Reed Joyce play a similar position.
Whether it is swallowing its anger or being arrogant, in the final analysis it is a protective color, the difference lies in whether the side of the thorn is facing the outside world.
However, today is different.
Unlike school wizards who wore uniform robes, he saw young people from below who were dressed in various colors—some were dressed more like rangers or adventurers, but they were not as good as they wanted, but still wanted to live desperately. For the people, this is very necessary-they are working hard to please the top wizards.
No matter how humble their status in the school is on weekdays, facing this group of people, the residents at the top can show their arrogance. Surrounded by a group of flattering people, I'm afraid I don't have the mind to look around the humble guy...
Richard also saw Reed Joyce in the center of a certain group of people from a distance, and saw that he was pale, as if he had recovered from a serious illness, with a bandage on his arm. He had heard about this guy being taught by his students.
The corners of Richard's mouth rose slightly, and he supported the mask on his face.
This gadget can change the color and appearance, giving people the illusion of body shape.
It’s not uncommon for guys to maintain a mysterious style on the magic tower~EbookFREE.me~ especially in the Rasputin school.
As long as he doesn't show excessive power and don't wear the iconic snake stick, no one should be able to connect him with Rasputin. apart from......
"Hello there."
A soft and sweet female voice came from beside.
Richard's nose smelled a familiar fragrance. He turned his head and saw big blue eyes under his long eyelashes, staring at himself without blinking.
She sat down next to her, holding her knees in her hands, turning her face to look at her, while her long golden hair slipped from her shoulders.
"Hello, Miss Edward."
He quietly nodded at the other party.
The master and apprentice had already passed Qi before. Although he did not elaborate on how Willit behave in front of others: the witch must make the relationship between the two people invisible to the past, and at the same time have the opportunity to provide convenience in the dark, but he believes that the witch will not Let yourself down.
"Yes... the last time we met was in the teacher's palace, right?"
The witch proceeded with the topic naturally, as if chatting with a long-lost acquaintance.
Richard did not answer, but just nodded slightly.
The current Villette is the focus of everyone's attention. Her communication with others will inevitably attract the attention of others.
Including their current conversations, they will also be heard by some caring people.
But what really makes Richard feel a little weird is that Willett's expression seems a little excited, or...excited.
This made him feel a subtle worry.
When Richard was about to say something, from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a silver-haired figure approaching here.
