Chapter 1039 Drunk
After being injured for several days in the Strange Face Clan's lair, and after the injury did not affect their actions, Gordon and his party bid farewell to the Strange Face Clan and set out on their way home.
They have overfulfilled their mission during this trip. If the report on this battle is submitted, the investigation team's understanding of the Nergigante will rise to a new level.
Master Yuanye originally planned to continue heading north to investigate the mysterious crystals that she was somewhat concerned about.
But when she learned from An Xier that it was already the end of June after spending her forgotten days in the wild, she immediately changed her plan.
Decided to follow Gordon and the others back to the Star Stronghold.
About a month later, the most grand celebration of the New World Investigation Team - the "Thanksgiving Festival" for the stars will be held.
"Old aunt, I really like to celebrate festivals!"
Even if I hurried along the way, it was already more than a month before I returned to the Star Stronghold.
The journey back home, which almost crossed the entire New World, was very tiring for the group, and the most emaciated one was the gale that turned into an ox and horse.
After several high-intensity battles, the ammunition, baggage and supplies were almost exhausted, but it did not become easier.
Because they brought the broken giant horn
Although there is a high probability that this thing alone cannot be used to make any equipment, but, but! !
Is it possible that the large horn of the Nergigante that was finally cut off was left to grow moldy in the wilderness?
Of course that's not possible. Gordon plans to take this thing back to decorate the cabin, such as hanging it on the door as a house sign or something. It must be quite impressive.
It’s just hard work for Gouzi. After this month, I have lost a lot of weight due to fatigue.
Just after stepping into the gate of the Star Stronghold, it immediately lay down, curled up its limbs and stretched out its belly, lying on its back and sticking out its tongue, pretending to be dead. Ancil pulled its ears hard but refused to move.
You won’t leave until you give me something to eat!
He had no choice but to buy a basket of fresh fish just caught by Deter of the Fish Basket Clan. He would give one to him and walk for a while.
Gail laughed at Ancil's stinginess, and also bought a basket of fish, letting Li Feng eat freely until he was full.
The "reward mechanism" that Ancil spent many years establishing was completely destroyed by Gale. Gale rushed to Gale's heels and rubbed her thighs.
Looking at them, Anhil wanted to shoot them all together, including men and dogs.
Everyone looked around, and the star stronghold at this time was very different from before.
There are flowers hanging everywhere, and even the buildings are wrapped with colorful ribbons, which are also decorated with various wreaths and balloons.
“It’s so grand!” Hayata couldn’t help but sigh.
Master Yuanye explained with a smile: "When the investigation team first came to the New World in the early years, because the team members came from all over the Old World, the customs were different and the festivals were also different.
How to celebrate festivals and which festival to celebrate are really difficult to reconcile.
Later, the head and commander came up with a way to set up their own investigation team. The festival is also called the "Star Festival".
The Star Festival is divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter. The flowering feast is held in spring, the cool feast is held in summer, the harvest feast is held in autumn, and the shining feast is held in winter. >
You just arrived in the New World at the beginning of this year, must you have experienced the Flowering Feast?”
"Ah, indeed, that festival was divided into seasons?" Gordon scratched his chin, "But it didn't seem so grand at the time?"
He never quite understood what everyone was celebrating, and thought he It's a festival somewhere in the Old World.
"Of course, this is not an ordinary feast to enjoy the cool weather, but a 'Thanksgiving Festival' held once every ten years."
Master Yuanye tidied up a section of the railing on the roadside. Hanging flower bunch crookedly, "The thank-you ceremony is usually held after the arrival of the new investigation team. It was held the following year to thank the new members for their arrival and the dedication of all investigators.
The arrival of your special investigation team was an 'unplanned' event, but the tradition cannot be lost, so it was created. This extra thank you offering.”
Gale curiously asked: "How long has it been since you returned to the stars, and you actually know this?"
Master Yuanye replied with a smile: "How many years do you think I have known those guys? They will Of course I can guess what you think and what you will do.
Okay, you guys continue to stroll, I’m going to find the commander first, I need to tell him something quickly.”
Said. Then, Master Yuanye left alone.
The hunters were wandering the streets in the Star Stronghold, forgetting to go home.
"Acridine?!" When we walked to the circulation area, a scream suddenly came from behind everyone, "You're back!"
"Xunxu!"
Gail opened his arms and wanted to hug him In the past, it was a pity that I couldn't hold it because Xuanxu was holding the Fengdiao dragon cub in her arms.
“Gah!”
The purple Fengdiao dragon cub barked at Gale, as if to warn the latter not to come close.
Gale pinched the Fengdiaolong cub's mouth in disgust, turned its head to the side, and came close to Xuanxu for a hug.
Xuanxuan giggled, but the moment Gale picked her up, her expression changed, "Oh! It stinks, how long have you not taken a shower?"
Everyone's face A flash of embarrassment flashed over him.
I have been sleeping outdoors for several months. Although I can’t say that I haven’t taken a bath once, it is true that I don’t often have the opportunity to be completely clean. It is normal to have some odor on my body.
You don’t notice much when everyone is the same.
But seeing Xuanxu trying to maintain a normal expression, but unable to stop slightly leaning back, the faces of Hayata, who loved cleanliness, and Ann Hilton, who was even a bit mysophobic, became confused.
"I'll go back and take a shower first, and then we'll go shopping later." Anhil turned around and left.
Hayata also said to Gordon, "I'm going back first too!" After that, he picked up the pandan and walked quickly towards the direction of his cabin.
Gordon sniffed himself from side to side and looked at the pork chop on one side, "Do we smell very strong now?"
The pig chop looked at him with empty eyes, "I don't know, meow. My nose has already become numb.”
"Hahahaha! The taste is really exciting!"
A palm as big as a plate patted Gordon's back vigorously, "But fieldwork is like this, get used to it, get used to it! Haha!"
"Grand Commander!" Gordon turned around and saw a huge flower pot in the arms of the Grand Commander, which seemed to be a decoration ready to be placed somewhere.
"How's it going, Gordon boy, have you met that guy?" the leader asked, baring his teeth.
Gordon pointed to the big horn fixed on Gale's back, and then pointed to the new two-finger-wide scar on his cheek, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
The head of the group raised a divided eyebrow, "Aha! Actually?! Tell me in detail, why don't you go take a shower first? We'll chat at the Bobcat Pavilion later, and I'll let him cook some more good dishes! ”
“.Okay. ”
At night, the entire star stronghold is decorated with lights.
No ceremonial speech.
Only food, wine, flowers, singing and dancing, and the unbridled laughter of the grand leader.
The hunters also took off their armor and wore regular clothes.
The drunkards of the alcohol team took turns to fight with Hayata for drinks. Aziz showed off the rubbings of the oversized imperial flag he caught to everyone, and Evelyn Feidi and his wife held their baby everywhere. While wandering around, Xuanxu took the Fengdiaolong cub and ate all kinds of delicacies, while Gordon was bragging to the leader about everything they had experienced during their trip.
Similar to the Banquet of the Four Seasons, this banquet will last for a whole week and is also a rare holiday for the busy investigation team.
The fun lasted until late at night, and most people returned home having fun, but there were some who didn’t have enough fun.
Gail, who was half drunk, was carrying a huge wine bottle and wandering around, but he felt like he didn't know where he could go.
Return to the dormitory.
The hut where Heta and Xuanxu live is empty. The former usually lives in the Institute of Ecology and keeps company with knowledge, while the latter makes a floor in the newly built shack. , accompany Xiaofeng Drifting Dragon to sleep.
Even Sandstone went back to his hometown to visit relatives.
"Ahhhhh!" Gale scratched his hair frantically and kicked out the door.
I ran to Gordon's house and wanted to find Hayata to continue drinking, but Gordon threw him out with a sullen face.
Then she ran to the Institute of Ecology, but Herta actually wanted to keep her here to help record books, so she had to run away.
After going round and round, I finally arrived in front of An Xil’s house.
She was already a little confused at this time.
He smashed the door hard, and after a while, An Xier's cold voice came from inside the door, "What's the matter, I'm already asleep."
He doesn't like liveliness, nor does he like drinking. Returned home very early.
"Sleep with you! Get up and have fun!" Gale yelled at the top of his lungs.
There was no movement inside the door, and she was ignored.
Muttering a few words that no one could understand, Gale staggered and was about to turn around and leave.
The door suddenly opened, but standing inside was Li Feng
Holding Li Feng's neck and saying "mua", Gale walked in while shaking the bottle.
"I'm a guest! Now is the second show!"
ps. Just to clarify, it's not a drunken one-night stand or anything like that, it can only be said to be an opportunity for emotional change.
(I found another artist and painted the portraits of Ancil and Gale, in the Easter Egg Chapter 0v0) (End of this chapter)
