Chapter 957: Pride, 2 ceremonies

After the archmage left, Xia Duo and Niya reunited with Vincent and others. After a brief retelling of the past, Xia Duo took the initiative to talk about the abnormality of this celebration:
"Didn’t it say that the New Year’s celebration was the award ceremony? Why is the pioneer now the protagonist?
In fact, leaving aside the possible "conspiracy" elements, Xia Duo was both a participant and a trailblazer in the War of the Green Field before, and even any trailblazer was just like him. The changes to the celebration had no effect on him.
But for those non-pioneer participants, it's different.
After working hard to participate in the war of planes, the arcanist also took pains to help repair the magic net. He thought it would be a grand award ceremony, but now he is told that the protagonist is not himself.
Who feels good about this!
Take Bellera, for example, when she heard Chateau talk about this, she unabashedly showed strong dissatisfaction:
"I really don't know how the Seven Pagodas are arranged! I have notified my father and asked him to come to observe the ceremony! Looking at the process now, the award ceremony is just a cutscene. Then when I go back, my father won't laugh at me!"
"Uh--"
That said, Essers didn't dare to speak anymore, even Chateau didn't know how to answer it. He intended to ask Belleira to find out if she knew what was going on, or if there was any rumors.
But somehow it touched Belleira's sensitive nerves.
Chateau remembered that Belleira once said that she had ran away from home when she went to the Giles Tower to study, and she usually hid from home. Why did she suddenly invite her parents to attend the ceremony?
no surprise!
At this time, Niya, who was hinted by Xia Duo, quickly turned off the topic and asked: "Do you all know the specific process of the celebration?"
Just now Warwick just introduced a general process, and did not elaborate on many details, only that there will be a special person with a preview.
After Niya asked, her eyes turned around everyone, and this time Esus finally caught the opportunity to speak. He really didn't want to hear Belleira complain about the Seven Towers.
It's not that he has deep feelings for the Seven Towers, but that this topic is somewhat sensitive, so he quickly followed Niya's words and replied:
"Yes, and we've already rehearsed it once, and we can go back only when everyone is ready to rehearse it again! You have just arrived, and someone should come to you soon and take you to the rehearsal."
"What was the situation in those three days?" Xia Duo suddenly interjected.
"I know!"
Vincent shouted loudly, and when everyone was looking at him, he shrank his head subconsciously. Of course, he didn't forget to answer Xia Duo's question:
"The Blazers have to stay here for a few more days, and the others can leave as long as they rehearse once."
"is it?!"
Xia Duo and Niya glanced at each other. Archmage Warward didn't say this just now, and he didn't know if he forgot to say it or something.
But now that other pioneers know it, there shouldn't be any problems.
...
Later, Xia Duo and everyone had more discussions about this New Year celebration.
After a while, two low-level mages with the emblem of Giles Tower came to Xia Duo and asked if they would accept the rehearsal guidance.
Of course, Xia Duo chose to accept, and after talking to Vincent, Belleira and others, he and Niya left with the two receptionists.
The so-called rehearsal, but in fact, the receptionist takes the people participating in the ceremony through the whole celebration process and is responsible for answering some less sensitive questions.
Of course, they must not know if they are too sensitive.
Xia Duo didn't deliberately ask some strange questions to make things difficult for these receptionists, but he still asked all the questions that should be asked.
...
From the entry route, the station, to how to return the gift during the award ceremony, these receptionists gave standard answers one by one.
If the process of the rehearsal and the formal celebration are exactly the same, the award ceremony is really just a cutscene. Although there are only two people in the rehearsal, Xia Duo and Niya, the receptionist will also tell them what the other participants are doing.
Except for Xia Duo himself, who will be introduced to his deeds, the others can only have one name at most, and under the high-level mage, even the name will not appear.
Of course, it also includes those pioneers.
The trailblazer commendation ceremony afterwards is completely different. Almost every trailblazer will have an introduction to their deeds. Among them, ten of them have been corrected in advance, including Xia Duo, and they will also show the achievements of territory development. In fact, they are prepared in advance. Good magic image.
During the rehearsal, Xia Duo didn't see these magical images, but the receptionist mentioned that the images will be displayed at a certain time and how long.
These receptionists did not know the contents.
After the commendation ceremony, it is the real celebration. In this part, there is no rehearsal, and there is nothing to rehearse. It is the carnival of a normal celebration. Do whatever you want.
Generally, a normal celebration is composed of rituals, performances, and carnivals. The ceremonies are officially organized, and the performances can be official invitations or spontaneous private organizations, and carnivals are together.
Of course, the three components of the celebration are not carried out in sequence, but are dominated by ceremonies, and performances and carnivals can be arranged randomly.
It is like the rising sun ceremony in the Midsummer Festival celebration in the morning, there will be a blessing ceremony at noon, and a peaceful sleep ceremony at night.
Between the three ceremonies, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is the time for performance and carnival.
The reason why this New Year’s celebration is considered by many people as not a New Year’s celebration is that apart from the initial notification that it was a reward ceremony, there is another important reason that there is no New Year-related ceremony.
This is very important. If there is no ceremony, then the celebration becomes unnecessary and dispensable.
Obviously, the so-called New Year's celebration is a cover, the real purpose is to award and commend, at least on the surface.
As for awards and commendations, there are also key points, this time it is obviously to commend the pioneers.
The two ceremonies were arranged very closely, and there was no performance or carnival between them. They were arranged one after another.
Therefore, for Xia Duo, it can basically be understood as the end of the commendation ceremony and the end of this so-called celebration.
...
The rehearsal only took about an hour. After all, it was a rehearsal. The key is the details of the process, not the specific time.
It's always bad to waste the caster's time.
After the rehearsal, Xia Duo and Niya randomly found a temporary building, made tea, and they were busy with their own affairs. Niya continued to study the research data related to the background fluctuation of the magic net, and Xia Duo observed this Half plane.
At the same time, the two were chatting with each other.
"We've all gone through the process, what do you think will change in the Blazers recognition ceremony?"
"How can I guess? There will be changes if I stay for a few more days. I'll know at that time. It's useless to guess anyway."
