Chapter 545: Yesterday gone, a beautiful tomorrow (1)
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai was a little confused. He had no idea what was going on in the ark continent. The people here looked like Westerners on earth, but their culture had a lot of Eastern elents. The ancestral worship was an example.
Worshiping the ancestors was a part of Eastern culture. In Eastern culture, people believed that after death, their souls would continue to protect the family. Therefore, they wanted to worship the ancestors and let the ancestors protect the family.
In fact, people also understood that it was impossible for the ancestors to really protect this family. Even if they really beca spirits, they would not be able to play the role of protecting it. If they were not around, those big families on the continent, those royal families, would continue to exist, and not slowly disappear into history like now.
However, people paid respects to their ancestors in this way to commorate their ancestors and express their yearning for a good life. It was not just a superstitious way to save their ancestors.
As for big clans like the kalci clan, they didn’t offer sacrifices to their ancestors completely for the sake of blessing; instead, they wanted to have a cohesiveness in this form so that their clan could grow stronger gradually.
The entire ancestral worship ceremony was extrely serious. There was not a single mistake during the process. Overall, it was very successful. Zhao Hai also followed Smith in the ancestral worship.
The ancestral worship ceremony on the ark continent was a little different from China. In China, won were not allowed to participate in the ancestral worship. However, there was no such rule on the ark continent. Won were allowed to participate too. So, the entire ancestral worship ceremony lasted for almost half a day.
In the evening, Randolf brought Peter to the palace’s banquet. To be honest, God’s grace day was quite boring for nobles. Other than attending banquets, they would have to eat and drink with their families. The atmosphere might not be good, so Zhao Hai really didn’t like it.
After attending the dinner party held by the carci family in the evening, Zhao Hai imdiately led his wives back to Iron Mountain castle. Compared to the carci family, Iron Mountain castle was his real ho. Therefore, he had to attend the dinner party there.
When he returned to the iron Mountain fortress, the banquet had not started yet. Grimm and the others were waiting for Zhao Hai. They were now in the square of the iron Mountain fortress. There were many bonfires in the square. Beside them were sheep, Bulls, and blue-eyed rabbits. All of them were whole.
There was also the huge blade scale whale and so seafood at the side. It could be said that this ti, Grimm had really brought out all the good things.
Beside each bonfire was a large wooden barrel filled with fragrant milk wine. Humans and orcs were all wearing new clothes and sitting around the bonfire. However, no one touched the food or the wine. They all sat there calmly and waited for Zhao Hai.
After coming out of the space, Zhao Hai felt warm inside at the sight of the situation. Laura and the others were also very touched. At the sight of this situation, Zhao Hai knew that it was not good to lose anyone at this mont, so he imdiately went to the Jade water city and brought back Moen’s family. Now, Zhao Hai could enter and exit any place on the map in the space at any ti. It had beco a treasure that could be used for teleportation, which was much more convenient.
When Zhao Hai went to pick up Moen, green had already led his n to place the animals on the bonfire, even the blade scale whale had been processed.
Grimm and the others had put in a lot of effort to deal with this blade-scale whale. The blade Scales on the whale’s skin had been removed, and those scales could be used to make so dostic water. They were very sharp and strong.
Grimm and the others had already cut the remaining fish and marinated it with various seasonings. The internal organs of the knife-scale whale had been removed, and so cooked stones were placed inside the whale’s body. Because of the large space inside, people could even stand in the mouth of the knife-scale whale and heat the stones. They also set up a bonfire outside, so that they could heat the stones together inside. With the neat cuts on the fish, the knife-scale whale could be cooked.
As for the other dishes such as the coiled goat and the barbaric cow, it was not difficult to make them. These were things that the orcs often ate, so it was very convenient to make them.
After a while, the tempting sll of roasted at wafted from the square of Iron Mountain castle. The at was almost done. rlin also asked everyone to bring out so of the delicious food made at ho and invited everyone to taste it.
This was also Zhao Hai’s suggestion. He knew that the Buda family’s situation was different from other families. Other families had servants who specialized in this matter, but the Buda family did not. In order to prevent this banquet from turning into a barbecue feast, Zhao Hai suggested to rlin that each family could help with one or two of their best dishes. Then, they would wait until the night of God’s grace day to have a feast together. There was no need to be afraid of the sa dishes. They could also see which family made the best dishes, and Zhao Hai could provide them with whatever ingredients they wanted.
rlin did not want to trouble those people, but he did not expect that after she told them about this, they would all get excited. Without rlin preparing any materials, they all returned to their hos and prepared to make their best dishes for everyone to try.
No wonder these people were so excited. The 100 slaves that they bought at the beginning had already got married. They were not slaves anymore. They had their own houses, lands and jobs. Each family was living well. Additionally, they had not experienced God’s grace day before. Of course, they were very excited. They all wanted to present their best items to the others. Cooking was a good opportunity, so everyone agreed.
The orcs were best at cooking at and vegetables, and the slaves were also best at cooking at and vegetables. This made Zhao Hai speechless for a while. But it’s good that today is God’s grace day. Everyone is happy and we can have a good al.
Seeing that they were almost ready, Grimm slowly walked to the middle of the square and looked at the people who were playing there. He loudly said, ” “Everyone, quiet down!”
Grimm’s words were very effective. The square quieted down almost instantly. Even the children were staring at Grimm, and no one made a sound.
The iron Mountain fortress had always been managed by Grimm. To the slaves, Grimm was the heart of the matter, so they naturally listened to him. To them, Zhao Hai was a god-like existence, and they were in awe of him.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Gerlin continued, ” &Quot; ladies and gentlen, one year ago, we ca to Iron Mountain castle. At that ti, there was nothing but a shabby Castle. We were filled with despair about life. One year has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past year, we have created everything with our own hands. Our lives have undergone trendous changes. All of this is because of one person. Who do you think this person is? ”
“It’s young master!” The crowd replied in unison. Zhao Hai had always asked them to call him young master. Therefore, they still called him young master. They didn’t call Zhao Hai by his na or family head because young master was Zhao Hai’s special form of address in their hearts.
“Alright, today is God’s grace day. I know that many people are celebrating this Festival for the first ti, so I’d like to invite you to say a few words to us, young master.” After saying that, he slowly retreated.
Zhao Hai didn’t expect green to ask him to say a few words. However, this was his territory, so he didn’t back down. He smiled, stood up, and walked to the center of the stage. Before he could say anything, the crowd was already clapping.
Zhao Hai looked at the people around him and said in a deep voice, ” &Quot; a year ago, all of you had your own identities, but now you only have One Identity, the disciples of the Buda family’s Black Earth territory. A year ago, I said that I would let everyone eat at every day, and I did it. However, I couldn’t do it alone. It was all of you who used your own hands and worked hard every day to create all of this. I, Zhao Hai, am here on behalf of the Buda family to thank everyone. &Quot; After which, he bowed to everyone.
Zhao Hai’s actions scared the humans and orcs. They all stood up and knelt down. A few of the older orc elders shouted, &Quot; young master, please get up. You’ve put us to sha. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. You’re our great benefactor, our great benefactor for all eternity. &Quot;
Zhao Hai had already straightened his body. He looked at the kneeling crowd and smiled. &Quot; everyone, get up. Today is a Festival, so don’t kneel here and there. Get up quickly. &Quot;
Everyone stood up. Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled. &Quot; “Today is the festival. In this year, the Buda family has been reborn. I have also been reborn. You have also been reborn. Therefore, this God’s grace day is of great significance. It is a Festival to celebrate our rebirth. It is a Carnival Festival. Everyone, raise your glasses and drink together. For the distant nightmare-like yesterday and a beautiful tomorrow. Cheers!”
Everyone obediently raised their glasses and followed Zhao Hai to finish the wine. Just as Zhao Hai had said, this glass of wine was a Farewell to Yesterday and a look forward to tomorrow. Therefore, after this glass of wine, many people’s eyes were wet.
They were different from Laura and the others, who had never worried about food and clothing since they were born. Laura and the others were the kind of people who would hide from at when they were young. For them, eating at was a common thing. They ate it almost every day, so it was nothing special.
However, to these slaves, to be able to have a piece of clothing to wear and a al of at to eat was already a heaven-like life. It was sothing they didn’t even dare to think about.
So of the slaves present had been slaves for generations. They knew very well that their parents, their grandparents, might not have eaten at or drunk wine in their entire lives. They had never dread that they would have such a day.
