Chapter 564 Fire Dragon Birth Festival and Invitation
In the end, Kasukabe Yō (with the help of Kuon Asuka) rejected Fujimaru Ritsuka's proposal with difficulty, and was reluctantly taken away by Kuon Asuka.
Even in order to resist the temptation of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Kasukabe Yoshi deliberately distanced himself from her during dinner, so that other people who were unaware of the reason thought they were having a conflict, and immediately laughed and cried after learning the details.
"But having said that, even in Greek mythology, Sphinxmon is a very famous monster. It has at least five figures of power, right?"
Leticia sighed.
Although the Sphinx is not a powerful monster known for its force, even so, it is not an existence that can be easily adopted as a pet.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but become more and more curious about Fujimaru Ritsuka's mysterious identity.
The Sphinx originated from Egyptian mythology. It is a symbol of 'mercy' and 'nobility'. It is a royal guardian beast inherited from ancient times. It is the incarnation of Horus, the god of the sky, on earth. It is a divine beast on the same level as pure-blood dragons.
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx is described as one of the daughters of the giant Typhon and the basilisk Echidna. It represents the punishment of the gods and leaves the trail in the stories related to it. The famous riddle is:
What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three legs in the evening?
The answer is ‘people’.
Morning, noon, and evening are metaphors for childhood, middle age, and old age respectively.
Getting back to the topic, the reason why she believed that the sphinx beast mentioned by Fujimaru Ritsuka came from Greek mythology was naturally because of the ambiguous relationship between the other party and the Greek gods shown in the previous battle with Luos.
Needless to say about the heroic spirit Andromeda, the mysterious black shadow that was summoned later had both a petrified evil eye and a shield that could withstand the petrified evil eye. It seemed that it was also a Greek character.
That's why she thought that the Sphinx beast mentioned by Fujimaru Ritsuka was also the monster from Greek mythology.
Unfortunately, she guessed wrong.
Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head and smiled:
"Not Greece, but the Sphinx over there in Egypt."
"Hey, is it actually Egypt?"
Not only Leticia, but also Black Rabbit and Ren were slightly startled, because their guesses were also consistent with Leticia's.
Moreover, after reacting, several people instantly took a breath of cold air——
"That is to say..."
If it were the Sphinx in Egyptian mythology, wouldn't it be a magical beast with only five digits of strength, but a mythical beast with four digits of strength that could stand side by side with pure-blooded dragons? !
Keep a mythical beast of this level as a pet...
But why is she related to Egyptian mythology?
“Have you finished speaking?”
Kasukabe Yoshi's question came suddenly, and everyone turned to look, only to see that the other party was covering their ears tightly, using physical means to resist temptation, and could not hear their conversation.
Seeing this, everyone could only give up the topic temporarily and bury their doubts in their hearts.
As their understanding of Fujimaru Ritsuka continues to deepen, they have more and more doubts in their hearts, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's identity becomes increasingly mysterious and difficult to explore.
…
…
In any case, Kasukabe Yoshi forced himself to forget the existence of the Sphinx, and began to work hard to save enough gold coins with the other two problem children as usual.
On the other side, after realizing that he was falling asleep while reading faster and faster and receiving less and less information, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally gave up searching for the answer with his own wisdom.
After getting Jin's consent, she photographed all the contents of the books related to Hakoden, and then packaged them together and sent them back to Chaldea, choosing to hand them over to Chaldea's brains - her external brains. deal with.
So she was idle again and planned to find something to do for herself again.
Externally, the three problem children actively participated in the gift game and refused her help;
Internally, agricultural production is carried out in an orderly manner under Lily's command, and rice sales are also assisted by Ren and Leticia, so she is basically not needed. After looking around, she suddenly realized sadly that all she could do now seemed to be to continue writing that damn action report.
But fortunately at this time, Black Rabbit suddenly brought good news——
"Lord Shiroyasha has extended an invitation to our community!"
In the afternoon, Black Rabbit, who returned from work, waved his arms excitedly and jumped all the way back to the community, looking very happy.
She held an invitation in her waving hand, and the sealing wax was covered with the coat of arms of the two goddesses facing each other, which was the flag pattern of [Thousand Eyes].
"That class ruler?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and the problem children who had just returned looked at each other, with expressions of interest on their faces.
Without waiting for Kuro Usagi to announce, Izayoi Kaikai snatched the envelope amidst the other's exclamations and opened it directly. Fujimaru Ritsuka also gathered around, curiously looking at the contents.
"Let me see... 'This is an invitation to the [Fire Dragon Birth Festival], a common festival held by the class rulers of the North District and the East District.' Is this the name of the big festival we are going to attend?"
"And the content of the festival——
‘...In addition to the art and crafts exhibition and judging meeting made by the ghosts and elves in the North District, there are also various gift games organized by the [organizer]...'
‘…The main event is the grand festival scheduled to be hosted by the [Class Dominator]…’”
"Damn it! It looks really interesting!"
The invitation briefly introduced the festival, which unsurprisingly aroused the interest of the troubled children. The ghosts and elves described in it, as well as the so-called arts and crafts exhibition, were also particularly curious.
However, after reading the contents of the invitation letter, Jiuyuan Asuka asked Black Rabbit: "So? What is the purpose of this invitation letter?"
"I remember that big festival - the Fire Dragon Birth Festival. There shouldn't be a rule like 'you must have an invitation to participate', right?"
"Of course not!"
Although Black Rabbit was a little frustrated at being robbed of her introduction job, when she heard the question, she immediately cheered up and actively explained:
"Having this invitation letter means that we are participating in the festival as 'guests invited by Lord Shiroyasha'. It is a considerable honor to be able to sit in the seats of special guests in the grand festival. ?”
"This also shows that Master Baiyaksha attaches great importance to all of you!"
"Honor?"
Back to Izayoi, he held his chin and pondered.
Regardless of the matter of honor for the moment, what he is thinking about at this moment is that in such a large-scale festival, being able to attend as special guests of the class rulers, even if they are unknown people, can instantly attract the attention of countless people, right?
In other words, a perfect opportunity for the community's reputation to continue to grow.
"Is that all?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his hand and asked.
She also noticed the benefits, but even if Bai Yaksha and [NoName] had an old relationship, they would not take care of it for this reason.
Otherwise, the community would not have lived so hard in the previous three years.
Sure enough, Black Rabbit nodded and affirmed:
"Sir Baiyaksha did have something to ask of our community, but he did not tell me alone. Instead, he wanted to talk to Master Ren and all the adults in person."
"oh?"
The problem children looked at each other and immediately became interested.
