MTL - Lord of the Mysteries-v6 Chapter 74 Travels (for monthly tickets at the end of the month)
"This small city called Utopia is not fundamentally different from those I have traveled to. No matter whether it is folklore, ethnicity, or architectural style, it belongs to Ruen by standard.
"I heard that there are a lot of strange and unusual customs in the South Mainland, and I hope to experience it for myself, of course, after the restoration of peace in East Byron.
"Speaking of Utopia, the most special thing here is that the climate is changeable, and there are often storms, so that most people have umbrellas and raincoats coated with the sap of Donningsman tree. The waiter at the hotel told me that as long as there is A certain income, and must go out to work, then no matter how to save money to buy raincoats, otherwise the disease will take away more.
"There are no meteorologists here, and I have no way of knowing why this climate is changing. I can only guess that it is close to the seaside and located in the hurricane zone. Yes, there is a deep-water port a few kilometers away from Utopia, but they are understaffed and not very good Local operations can only maintain a small scale.
"They also don't have local newspapers. After all, this is just a small city with a few thousand people. Newsboys mainly sell" Tasok "," Desi Mirror "and" Seawind "...
"The second reason I like it is that many people in Utopia are cheerful and optimistic and passionate about life.
"When I wrote this, there was a band just outside the hotel.
"This is not a professional band, but a group of purely amateurs. Among them are government employees, magistrates, solicitors, professional police, school teachers, candy factory workers, store owners ... … Among them, those who have the money and time are responsible for the more difficult instruments such as trumpets and violins, and the lower and middle class citizens use simple items such as lyre and harmonica.
"On some rest days, they will take to the streets, start from the Municipal Square, go around the city, and return to the church of Santa Arianna near the square. They call this a 'music parade'.
"During the parade, not only did they not exclude the citizens, but they encouraged them to sing or dance with the team. According to my observations, the participants were very happy, very content, and let out their love for life, which made me realize Here comes a vigorous attitude.
"I have to admit that this is very infectious. I tried to join the parade. I forgot my troubles in music, dance and singing. I just remember being happy ...
"They are not cruising today, but going to church to send a blessing to a couple.
"When it comes to weddings, the thing I ca n’t understand about Utopia is that it only has a 'night goddess' church. You know, in most parts of the kingdom, even in a small town, there will be at least two churches, one Belongs to 'night goddess', a believer in 'lord of the storm'.
"Before today, I had no way of imagining that there would be an ordinary town in the kingdom that only believed in one deity.
"However, this will not cause much distress to me. Before the age of 18, due to family influences, I could only believe in the Lord of the Storm, but after graduating from grammar school, I really understood the goddess. It is the one who is the most loving and merciful.
"Speaking of the wedding itself, I attended a wedding two days ago and found that Utopia has some special customs in this regard.
"Among them, what I admire most is that when the priest announces the marriage, the bride and groom will bow to each other. There is no question of who is higher or lower, but just to express gratitude for spending a lifetime together.
"This may be a manifestation of equality between men and women in the goddess doctrine ...
"In addition, there will be some special games in the celebration after the wedding, such as letting the groom and bride tell their own love story.
"It may be quite an awkward thing for them, but it is quite interesting for the guests. Yes, I think so, but I certainly will not add a similar link to my wedding .
"At that wedding, I heard the best love story I have ever heard in my life so far. If I have the opportunity, if the readers and friends who read this column like it, I will consider repeating it. Of course, I will Change the name and some details so as not to bother the couple ...
"The most important reason I like Utopia is that the food here is very delicious, the limited restaurants are of a high standard, and the best is undoubtedly the annex to this 'Iris' hotel where I live restaurant.
"Whether it ’s the most basic fried beef steak, tonkatsu, charcoal grilled meat, fried meat and fish, or the more complex or more difficult lamb stew with peas, cream soup, buttered mashed potatoes, baked potato skins, They have definitely reached the level of urban chefs. In addition, the chefs here are also quite good at creating strange dishes and foods, with sour and sweet meat particles, and grilled fish with repeated application of various spices ...
"Utopian chefs didn't give up on seemingly unable to play tricks. I ate a variety of toasts in this city: taro, mashed, butter, whipped cream, fruit inlaid Blocky ... as long as you are willing to eat, you will not eat repeated varieties in a week.
"And the most admirable of all the food here is their dessert:
"Butter pudding, fruit pudding, black forest cake, carrot cake, milk cake, muffin, **** ...
"When I write here, I feel hungry again. That's why I don't want to leave after a week here. What I worry about most right now is not my wallet, but my weight. I'm glad the hotel is not equipped. Mechanical scales, while complaining that they did not match.
"Utopian red wines are also very good. The only problem is that they lack the precipitation of the vintage. It seems that there is no such awareness in the manor around the town.
"Here, I would seriously recommend a drink, Utopia Bubble Ice Tea, which is very special and has a more wonderful experience outside of sweetness and bubbles ...
"Every evening, I go for a walk in the Municipal Square, which is also the favorite leisure place for Utopian citizens. They have an extraordinary love for those white pigeons.
"I met a painter in the Municipal Square. His name is Anderson. He looks handsome and has superb painting skills. Unfortunately, he is a dumb ...
"I also knew a writer called Aresu, a rather strange name. He said that he was writing a novel and asked me to taste the beginning.
"I don't comment on his novel. I just feel strange that a few familiar names appear at the beginning of the novel.
"This includes Anderson, Wendy, well, this is the owner of my favorite bakery ...
"I raised this question, and Aresu told me very seriously that when a writer can't think of a character's name, it is a very reasonable thing to refer to someone he knows.
"I agree.
"...
"Limited by space, this sharing ends here, love your Charlotte."
Monica lowered her pen, carefully read the manuscript twice, and corrected words and grammatical errors.
She is a writer. She was not well-known at first. She could only make a living by writing some love stories. After converting to "Night Goddess", her father almost cut off contact with her.
But since Ms. Firth Wall, who wrote "The Storm", opened a travel column and was welcomed to a considerable extent after the war, Monica also began to write travel notes for some of Bakerland's newspapers. It is her hobbies, and her hobbies have given her articles a unique vitality, helping her to become a well-known travel writer.
Charlotte is her pen name.
When the handwriting was completely dry, Monica rewrote a copy, stuffed it into an envelope, and stamped it.
After confirming that the address was correct, the black-haired woman with a wavy, Dicy Bay-styled hand bag, left the hotel, and went to the Utopia Post Office.
The post office is next to the telegraph office, and Monica always feels waste every time she passes the latter.
In her opinion, Utopia rarely needs to make a telegram. It is too luxurious to make a telegraph office.
After sending the letter, Monica looked at the sky and strolled towards the municipal square.
When she reached the door of St. Arianna's Church, she met Byers.
This is a police officer who once asked Monica about the "Iris Flower" hotel because of witnesses in the Tracy murder case.
Unfortunately, Monica didn't know the gentleman named Wendel.
After nodding to each other and greeting each other, Monica entered the church, found a place to sit, and quietly listened to the priest Townsend preaching.
This is the most clergyman-like pastor she met after converting to "Night Goddess". He has half-white hair, a soothing voice, a calm temperament, and a low voice.
Monica closed her eyes and listened intently.
…………
East Chester County, in a forest belonging to the Hall family.
Alfred, Hibbert and Audrey led their respective foxhounds, with varying numbers of servants, chasing prey around the edge of the forest.
This is the first time the three brothers and sisters have hunted together since they were adults.
In front of her sister, Alfred and Hibbert were having fun, at least on the surface.
For Alfred, the biggest problem is how to control himself and not show too different from ordinary people. Otherwise, if a "punishment knight" participates in hunting, others have no chance.
He knew his sister was extraordinary, but he also knew that Sequence 7 of the "spectator" approach would not have any substantial positive combat capabilities.
After chasing, they rushed out of the forest and saw a field of wheat.
"Where is this?" Audrey in a hunting suit asked casually.
This is the first time she has hunted in this forest, and it is not clear where they lead to.
Hibbert was also unfamiliar with his head and said to his servant:
"Seek someone to ask."
While waiting, the three brothers and sisters smiled and discussed the gains just now, and the golden retriever, Su Qian, took a look at the fox terriers who wanted to get closer to her, and let them consciously distance themselves.
After a while, Hibbert's attendant returned, reporting:
"Lord, there is a village called Hedrak nearby ..."
Hedrak ... the village with dragon worship? I came here from another direction? Audrey heard it for a moment.
