Chapter 155: Christmas is near
Fengmo Continent, the year 1344, late December.
It’s the middle of winter. It snowed heavily last night, making it look snow-white everywhere. But after a while, father sun came out to work, shining on the snow-white world below. Such a scene can’t help but make people want to offer their blessings to this beautiful world.
Robb still sat on his stone stool, looking lazily around.
Sitting on a stone stool in the middle of winter is cold, but as long as you first pour fire magic into the magic container and then let it slowly spit out the magic onto the stone stool, it warms up.
The heat from the magic container could not be focused at one point, so it melted all the snow on the ground behind the stone stool as well.
The kitten girl Huahua laid down on the warm ground, curled up in a ball, turned her black and white tail up to cover her face, and took a lazy nap.
Robb looked at the sun in the sky and sighed, “It’s such a waste of sun for you to sleep in such a fine time.”
Huahua muttered vaguely and replied, "it's a waste if you don’t sleep in such a fine time.”
Well, the values of cat folk are different from those of humans. It doesn’t make sense at all.
Robb lowered his hand from the stone stool and gently touched Huahua's furry little ear. Huahua refused at first. Cat folk were as vigilant as cats and did not like to be too close to human beings. But after making her delicious steamed fish with soy sauce, Huahua was no longer so wary of Robb.
Now when Robb gently touches her ear while she is sleeping, she will not resist. But if he touches elsewhere, that’s not allowed. She’ll react quickly as long as Robb’s hand goes a bit unruly. She’ll bounce off the ground immediately and jump a few meters away.
So Robb honestly just touched her little ears, and the furry touch was amazing.
The sound of stepping on the snow was heavy. Robb looked around and saw Gorda coming carrying two huge trees with branches and leaves on his shoulders. Gorda carried it effortlessly. He went into the yard and smiled and greeted Robb with a smile, "Yo, Mr. Robb, are you being lazy again?"
Robb smiled and said, "Why are you carrying two trees on your back? What are you planning to do?"
Gorda said with a smile, "this is a Christmas tree. It's only a few days before Christmas. Bishop Elsie asked me to help make a Christmas tree. You know, he and his men can't go out of town. So if he wants to get a Christmas tree, he has to pay me to do it. Hahaha! It was not easy for me to find such a good-looking tree.”
Robb rolled his eyes. "Bishop Elsie paid you to get a Christmas tree, so why did you get two?"
Gorda smiled proudly, "Of course, it's because number 8 asked me to get one, too! I got to complete two missions simultaneously and earn double the money, hahaha.”
Robb said angrily, "how can both light and darkness have Christmas simultaneously?"
Gorda said with a smile, "because Baldr, the god of light, and Hodr, the god of darkness, are twins! They were born on the same day, so Christmas of the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness are also on the same day. "
At that moment, Bishop Elsie rushed over with two paladins and took a Christmas tree from Gorda. The three men carried the Christmas tree to the chapel, placed it on the ground, and then circled it twice. Seemingly satisfied.
Bishop Elsie exclaimed, "go and take out all the decorations we've prepared and hang them on the tree. We're going to make it look bigger than the one on the side of darkness."
The two paladins hurried back to call for help, and after a while, templar knights came with all kinds of colored cloth, balls, and red socks.
On the other side, number 8 rushed out with two dark apprentices, took the other Christmas tree from Gorda's hand, and placed it at the gate of the chapel of darkness. Afterward, 32 dark priests rushed out, holding all kinds of decorations in their hands, desperately hanging them on the tree, lest it should be worse than Elsie's.
Bishop Elsie’s side has more people, meaning bigger power.
But number 8’s side has far more financial power. They often received financial support from Gugu and Jiji, which made them far richer than the templar knights.
Manpower on one side, financial resources on the other. It was quite a battle.
Bishop Elsie ordered loudly, "Brothers and sisters, go around the town, comfort the poor, bring them the warmth of the God of Light, and invite them all to the Christmas party."
Robb couldn't help complaining, "Hey, aren't you Templar Knights the poorest townspeople in Westwind Town? Your group of knights has no life skills at all. You can’t do anything but keep watch and build roads. You are the ones who need sympathy the most. "
Bishop Elsie froze, and the three hundred Templar knights next to him all bowed forward in disappointment.
Knights are always in demand in times of war, but in Westwind Town, even without their power, Robb alone can keep Westwind Town warless for a hundred years.
A Paladin complained to the sky, "I don't want to do this either! I am a Paladin. Why am I useless in Westwind Town when it is clear that I can do well in other places? "
On the other side, number 8 also shouted, "Brother, Sister, go to the town to give money, hahaha!"
Robb smiled and said, "Don't be silly. Do the townspeople here lack money? If you only throw a few copper coins, the townspeople don’t want it. Stop fighting between sides temporarily. You two party together this year."
“That…” The leaders of both sides froze, “That’s... not good, right?”
Robb said, “Aren’t Baldr and Hodr brothers? They should celebrate together this year! To express gratitude to their mother… Right... who is their mother again?”
Both sides looked at Robb with disdain, “It’s Frigg! How can you not know that?”
