Chapter 2723: Chapter 1173: Winter Banquet (Part 2)

In the end, whom to support is a question that doesn’t even need to be asked.

Midwinter Festival.

It is not the last festival of the year, but the first festival of the year, on the last day of January.

Each race has customs of gathering together for this festival, and they have different names for it.

In Thacel, the official name for this festival is the Winter Banquet, and according to local tradition, local lords will hold banquets before the new year begins, to form alliances or renew alliances with other lords and exchange gifts.

But for ordinary people, this is the day of dead winter, as winter has just passed its halfway point, often the coldest day of the year, so it is also the sacred day of the Frost Maiden Olyure. Her followers also revel on this day, holding various cold-related celebrations, such as running naked through the ice and snow, or prayers in the severe cold.

However, the divine power of the Cold Goddess is greatly diminished in the Tesser Kingdom. Snow rarely covers this place, and her followers are pitifully few, with only a few remnants in high mountains like the Star Spiral Mountain Range and the Marching Mountains.

But this year, the Marching Mountains have completely driven it out, especially at the Serenagrad Peak, which would have been covered by ice and snow by this time in previous years.

Now not even a trace of snow is seen, quite the opposite, it’s as warm as spring.

In less than a month, this place has become lush again, covered with vegetation, including the former lakebed of the Mountain Top Lake, now filled with apple saplings. These muddy grounds are the most nutritionally rich places for them.

This usually deserted place is now bustling with noise, even more lively than the busiest market, gathering a large crowd of diverse people.

There are tall and sturdy Golia people with rugged faces and natural rock tattoos on their bodies.

There are also short and stout Dwarfs, with arms and thighs of the same thickness.

There are also tall and graceful Elves with elegant manners.

There are also nimble Demi-Humans, resembling human children.

There are also small and brightly dressed Gnomes.

There are also Apple Sodalite Treants that resemble trees with leaves and apples on their heads.

There are also variously shaped, quirky and lively Fae Race members.

Of course, humans are also indispensable, divided into two main groups.

One group exudes a natural aura, dressed mainly in green, they are either Rangers, Druids, or Forest Watchers.

The other group, dressed in red robes, with strong and vigorous behavior and speech, shuttles back and forth in the crowd to manage and organize everything, making it all seemingly chaotic yet actually orderly.

This kind of large-scale event is naturally indispensable without Lady Strategy’s dedicated sacrificers, whose abilities are not only limited to battlefields but in anything related to organizational tasks, they are quite adept.

After more than half a month of preparation, the scale of this Winter Banquet even exceeded the organizer Gaven’s expectations. He underestimated the attraction of the presence of divine power for ordinary people.

To pursue the traces of the gods, they traveled thousands of miles to worship in the Holy Sanctuary.

Upon hearing that more than one presence of divine power was attending this banquet, how could they not go mad?

How could a mountain stop their steps?

Gaven naturally did not refuse anyone, repeatedly deploying three Armed Ray Fish to transport large numbers of people and supplies up.

The more people witness such a divine ritual, the better the effect, especially since many people are closely related parties.

"The Queen, it’s the Queen, Lord Road Builder and Lord Zalanda have arrived."

"It’s finally about to begin, I’m already a bit impatient."

"Such a large-scale Winter Banquet with so many participating races is my first time attending."

"As expected, the Conqueror is no ordinary person. Every time something extraordinary happens, the last time I saw such a magnificent scene was when the Conqueror Path began, in the blink of an eye, it’s been two years."

"Rest assured, as long as you follow the Conqueror’s footsteps, you’ll soon get accustomed to such scenes."

As the Queen slowly entered, everyone instinctively paused their actions, their eyes following it until it reached directly above the Earth Stone.

A man and a woman drifted down from the Queen side by side, as if radiating a brilliance that people couldn’t look directly at, or describe their beauty in words, only leaving a memory of the man being very handsome and the woman very beautiful, making it hard for them to describe clearly.

Gaven timed their entrance perfectly, and after landing, without wasting words, he settled Zalanda, then directly activated the Godhood Form, incarnating into a Super Giant, overlooking the crowd with a solemn expression: "Today, I am very honored to invite you all as witnesses.

To witness the covenant between Lord Blue Bear and Mother Earth, becoming his deity, to take up the sacred duty of calming the Earth’s anger.

To witness the faith forged between Lord Blue Bear and the Child of Earth, the Golia Tribe, conquerors of the mountains, to jointly protect the mountains.

To witness the Marching Mountains reborn after suffering devastation.

To witness our collective covenant, to strive together for the preservation of nature, the maintenance of peace, and the prosperity and growth of the races."

"Preserve nature! Maintain peace! Ensure the prosperity and growth of the races!"

"Preserve nature! Maintain peace! Ensure the prosperity and growth of the races!"

"Preserve nature! Maintain peace! Ensure the prosperity and growth of the races!"
