Stray Chapter 207: Life theory

Artoria, who was in charge of running around in Gensokyo and sending the invitations one by one, came back just before noon.

The main reason is that Gensokyo is not big, but there are many places to run, and it is more complicated and twisty. It takes a lot of time to stop at each place, and it is very troublesome to just enter in some places.

For example, the White Jade Building in the Underworld needs to find a way to pass through the Netherworld Barrier, and then walk a long ladder to reach it.

And the invited people also came one by one after noon. They passed the large barrier outside the shrine on the top of the Yokai Mountain and came to the shrine outside. Soon the scene became lively.

Although the area of ​​Moriya Shrine is huge, and there is even a mountain and lake in the distance facing the shrine, there are so many people in Gensokyo, and a square in Nuoda can be quite lively at the same time.

The three Sao Ling sisters are often invited to perform at banquets, creating a lively atmosphere, and this time is no exception. When Artoria was running the White Jade Tower of the Underworld, she also invited them by the way.

The eldest daughter, Lunasa Prizmriba, the second daughter, Merullan Prizmriba, and the third daughter, Lilica Prizmriba, all three sisters are sages and ghosts One, strictly speaking, is not the same, but it is indeed classified as such.

They form a band, so the noise level is x3.

Mainly possess the ability to play musical instruments without using limbs x3.

Under the violin, strings, and trumpets of the Prizmriba Band, a trio of ghosts, the atmosphere soon became high, and in Charlotte, there was also the Scarlet Devils Pavilion Sakuya Izayoi, with the cooperation of two silver-haired head maids who were almost omnipotent, the venue was set up in a very short time.

A long table is placed in the open space between the shrine and the Lake of Fengshen. Various steaming hot meals of the main meal seem to be placed in an instant, as well as various salads and desserts. , ice cream and other cold food, as well as a variety of fruit juice drinks.

It's really hard to imagine how the two of them could be in an ordinary family-level kitchen, with such a fast and efficient speed, they were constantly taking out the dishes one by one.

Especially after Yakumo Lan also came to help out, the speed is even faster. Even if there are many people on the scene eating and drinking desperately, as if holding a big stomach competition, the speed of serving food can be completely matched. gotta come up.

Of course, the most unavoidable thing is the wine. The ghost clan Lori Yichuixiang also ran over in person and asked Xia Ran if she needed the ghost clan wine, otherwise the banquet would be boring...

Xia Ranjing is insensitive to this.

Although this ghost clan's wine gourd seems to be able to automatically pour out wine indefinitely, he still doesn't want to use the ghost clan's wine. Who knows how their wine-making skills came to this way.

Pure industrial alcohol is not so terrible. It is a poison at all, and it is still a poison that can work on inhumans.

So he rejected Ibuki Loli's kindness, saying that he would handle such trivial matters... It is indeed a trivial matter, and the wine culture has a long history and a long history in the celestial dynasty, especially in various martial arts, immortals and the like According to legend, it occupies a large proportion.

And in his previous dungeon world, it happened to be a world of gods and demons with the style of high-level immortals. From various ore plants, to medicines and spices, he spent more than ten years hoarding a lot of useful things, wine and wine. Naturally there will be no shortage.

There are even some fine wines in the immortal world. For example, "One Sip of Dream Millennium", which is more extreme than the ghost wine, does not directly cause people to be completely drunk from alcohol poisoning, but it is said that the wine is so powerful that it can make mortals drink it. Sleeping for a thousand years.

But it doesn't need to be so extreme, just some normal, celestial-style wine is fine.

Also have to consider the general public, there are still very few people who can drink this level of immortal brew as plain water, including himself.

However, Ibuki Cuixiang is not too picky, and it does not mean that the stronger the drink, the better. She can also enjoy the warmer and more mellow wine that Xia Ran brought out, and she also feels that there is a different taste.

Generally speaking, it seems that the whole banquet was really lively and smooth.

The Dream Tapir clan from another world is the protagonist of course. Although only the lord of the demon world and the current young lord will appear, a representative would have been enough. The Tengu of Monster Mountain has never been part of the entire clan. Come to the banquet together.

This is mainly because in the last incident, Moriya Shrine was basically a scene. Although they had not moved into Gensokyo at that time, they were also held at Hakurei Shrine at that time. a banquet.

In addition to the problems caused by the magicians of the realm at that time, the grand scene in which almost the entire Gensokyo participated in the war, and Kanako and others were no exception. It can be said that many people in Gensokyo are already quite fond of these two gods. degree of understanding.

So this time, everyone's curiosity is naturally placed on the Nightmare Tapir.

Many people have heard of this race, but they haven't had much contact with it before, especially since this group of nightmare tapirs lived on an asteroid and were brought into Gensokyo by Xia Ran.

This makes people even more curious. Could it be that these monsters lived in outer space before, living on asteroids, revolving periodically around the solar system, and only recently returned to the earth?

Because of curiosity, they will naturally take action. Many people naturally surround Chanyou and Liu Mengli, and they keep asking questions. Aki Hida is in charge of compiling the history of Gensokyo.

It was the first time for the mother and daughter to face such a scene. They were all caught off guard. No one was able to help if they wanted to ask for help. Watch here.

Although they had a wry smile in their hearts, they all knew that this was the other party's good intentions, and this occasion seemed to be designed for them to formally get to know the people of Gensokyo and truly become accepted members of Gensokyo.

And the other party's behavior also shows that he has no intention to treat the Nightmare Tapirs as his vassals, so they are still free and independent, and these things should be done by themselves.

"...What's the matter with your injury?"

A faint voice interjected into the crowd of enthusiastic conversations, which immediately made the air quiet, but it was the tyrant of flowers in a white shirt and plaid skirt, who also walked over at some point, frowning. Looking at Chanyou.

Chanyou's heart froze, and she turned her head to look at this big monster with a bit of surprise. Even she didn't realize that someone came to her side unknowingly, but she didn't know it at all. Sleep.

Demon King?

No, it seems to be a little more terrifying... Sensing the faint and fresh demonic energy that seemed like a natural breath, Chanyou felt her scalp tingle even more.

Although I heard Xia Ran say before that Gensokyo is an inhuman paradise, but I never thought that big monsters of this level could come out one by one, forming a pile of ordinary monsters. gather together.

Not to mention the little girl with long horns who was holding a wine gourd and running around the banquet. I heard that it was something like a ghost. It is really hard to imagine that it should be a kind of monster, too. Instead of the ethereal ghost body...

And the blue-clothed strategist with nine huge fox tails dragging behind him, no doubt he was a nine-tailed fox monster, and he was helping out in the kitchen at the moment. I heard it was another monster. Followers are coming...

Now there is such an even more terrifying plant-type monster that makes him terrified just by getting close, why can't Chanyou feel scared? But at the same time, she also felt more and more that this banquet was indeed necessary.

Gensokyo doesn't seem to be a world that I am familiar with before, and the strategy of the Nightmare Tapirs must be changed in order to better integrate into this new environment.

After calming down, the Demon Lord tried his best to answer the Flower Tyrant's question in a calm tone.

Feng Jian Youxiang's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't expect the other party's injury to come like this, and immediately glanced at Chan You with admiration. Not long after giving birth, she dragged her body hard. Is it the root of the disease that has been torn apart by the enemy?

……

……

"Aren't you going to be friends with them?"

In one corner of the venue, looking at the sunset over the distant mountains and the evening scene where the sunset glows like fire, Xia Ran took a sip of the drink in her hand and said with a smile to the small group in front of her.

"Forget it... I feel like there is really no common language." Yuihama Yui showed her signature smirk and said, rubbing the back of her head, "So let's take it slow and let nature take its course. That's it."

From the beginning of the banquet to the present, they have always been together with a few of them.

But there's actually no problem. People who are familiar with them will come to say hello to them, so it doesn't mean that they are left out, and there are already many people who play with themselves. Playful little loli.

That group of goblins are the only ones who can play with Flanders, because even if they are directly pinched, there will be no problem. They are a natural phenomenon, and they are conceptual immortality. of.

For example, from the beginning of the banquet until now, "Hua Xu's undead" has been floating around between the long tables for food, and has never talked or spoken to others, and I don't understand that she is a ghost Why is there such a good appetite...

In this regard, however, the King of Knights of Ancient Britain would not yield to ghosts.

Basically, these two people acted as the main force of the banquet. Even Hakurei Reimu was far from being ashamed. After all, the poor and starving Hakurei priestess was only at the beginning. Can briefly compete with the two.

But as a human being, one's own appetite is still limited, and now that Miko girl is resting under a maple tree not far away with tea.

"Also, those ghosts are too noisy..." Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the three Sao Ling sisters floating above the venue with a bitter look, "I have never heard of music. It can make people suddenly start dancing, or can't speak..."

"Oh, after all, they are ghosts. This is the embodiment of their abilities. As ordinary people, you should have been affected by some."

Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she probably understood what was going on.

"Speaking of which, is the management of the world after death so lax?" Yukinoshita looked at the ghost in the field thoughtfully, "The ghost can also return to the present world at will, and move at will?"

"That's not true. That undead princess is the manager of the White Jade Building in the underworld. Unlike ordinary undead, the court teacher around her is only a half-spirit, not an undead..." Xia Ran shook her head.

"What about the three of them?"

Yukinoshita reached out and pointed to the Sao Spirit Orchestra. The three of them were playing. The combination of their brisk rhythm and classical instruments seemed to be extraordinarily cheerful.

"They are ghosts, not ghosts. Strictly speaking, they are conceptually called magical creatures or elves, which may be more appropriate." Xia Ran shook her head again, "So they are not subject to the laws of the afterlife world. Rules govern."

"Magical creatures? Elves?"

Facing Yukinoshita Yukino's puzzled eyes, Xia Ran thought for a while: "It's true, these three sisters were created by their sister Leila, and they are indeed magical creations."

"...Sister created three older sisters?" The black long straight girl's expression became even weirder.

Xia Ran smiled: "This matter is a long story, it has to start from 65 million years ago..."

"I'm not asking about dinosaurs!"

"Well, in fact, the birth of the three sisters dates back to the distant past. It is said that in the past there was a human noble named Count Prizmliba. He had four daughters and loved them very much..."

Xia Ran restrained her expression and explained what she had learned.

Four girls lost their families to an unfortunate accident. The helpless children were adopted separately, and only Leila, the fourth daughter, could not leave the mansion full of memories.

Layla Prizmriba used all her strength to create a ghost in the shape of her sisters, and disappeared with the mansion and the ghost, entering the forgotten Gensokyo middle.

In the beginning, Sao Ling was just an illusion and auditory hallucination of the sisters created by Layla, but as time passed, it gradually became as if she could talk to Layla. It's like living together.

Life in Gensokyo would be very difficult for Leila alone, but with the help of my sisters, Mirage, I can finally get by with reluctance. It's just that the three Sao Ling sisters couldn't grow up, while Layla was still a human being.

In the end, that young girl who is easy to be lonely usually used up her life. But what is incredible is that although Layla passed away, the phantoms of the three have never disappeared.

Time has passed, and the former four passed away a long time ago, but the mansion remained in Gensokyo as a Sao Ling mansion, and the three Sao Ling sisters, who were created, are still living noisily.

“…”

“…”

After Xia Ran finished telling the whole story, the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
