The Dragon from Hell

Mermaids are kindhearted and have always lived in the deep sea. If they have no idea about dragons, they naturally cannot build the Dragon Palace.

But A Liu really seems to not know. She said that the name of Dragon Palace has been passed down from her grandfather's generation.

Not to mention her, even her father probably doesn't know, at least he has never mentioned it to her and Sister Yueji.

Seeing this, Qin Feng changed his question: "Have you ever seen a dragon?"

"Dragon?" A Liu's face was more confused: "We mermaids do believe in real dragons, but aren't real dragons gods in legends?"

When she said this, her eyes dimmed a little: "If real dragons really exist, our mermaids have believed in them for thousands of years, and they shouldn't watch us get to this point now, right?"

Seeing that A Liu began to feel sad again, Qin Feng stopped asking about this topic.

Seven hundred years ago, A Liu should have been just a small fish, and she didn't even have time to transform. There were very few things she could know.

It seems that if you want to know more, you have to ask Yue Ji.

However, Yue Ji is in Penglai Pavilion. She said that she would come at noon today, but the time has not come yet.

The ghost market is closed during the day. As long as the master does not need them to serve, they can have a certain amount of their own time.

Especially for an "old man" like Yue Ji who is valued by the ghost master, it can be seen that the ghost master loves Yue Ji very much.

Even chatting with his confidants does not avoid her, which shows that he has enough trust in her. Qin Feng is not worried that she will not come out.

Even if she does not come, he has a way to find her.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Feng asked about the Anle Festival again.

The Anle Festival will be held again in two days. Qin Feng and Le Zheng Yujing came yesterday, just like when he first came to Anle City.

"Three days later, Anle Festival", Qin Feng always feels that there is something wrong with this critical time.

There are not so many coincidences in this world.

"Sir, are you asking about the Anle Festival?" Seeing that Qin Feng skipped the question about the mermaids, A Liu was obviously relieved: "This is a festival that has been held in Anle City for hundreds of years. The whole Anle City is very lively on that day, and even we will feel relaxed. It is a rare happy day in the four seasons of the year." A Liu said that the Anle Festival was established when the old city lord was still alive.

Originally, there was no such festival in Anle City a hundred years ago, but because the business of spirit bones in Anle City was booming, there were many more mermaids, slaves of the demon clan, etc. in the city.

The old city lord had good intentions, so he specially established the Anle Festival.

On the day of the Anle Festival, all slaves in Anle City can go out to play, but they cannot bump into the human race, and they can only go out in the second half of the night to avoid encountering the human race.

However, if a slave escapes or hurts someone on the day of the Anle Festival, once caught, the punishment will be very cruel.

Because the slaves in Anle City have specific restraints, and the King of Hell among the night watchmen will personally come out to guard Anle City on that day, and the Black and White Impermanence will stay at the city gate, so no slave dares to escape.

When Qin Feng heard this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart: So this is called mercy?

In other words, giving slaves such a day of "holiday" is just to make them serve themselves better.

During this day of vacation, you can also eliminate slaves who have long had different intentions and deter other slaves.

Besides, these slaves who were captured or even sold to Anle City have long lost their ability to resist, have never experienced cultivation, and have long been enslaved. How can they have any thoughts of escaping?

Only like A Liu, who is obviously a slave, but still grateful.

It seems that in her eyes, the old city lord is a good person.

At least it can allow her to have one day without serving others, and she doesn't have to worry about being sold after being favored by guests.

Only by staying in Penglai Pavilion can she continue to stay with her sister.

And so far, she has never seen those brothers and sisters who did not leave Penglai Pavilion in Anle City again.

Even during the Anle Festival, they have not been seen again.

Most of them are dead or disabled.

"So what are the activities at the Anle Festival? Er... that is, the program." Qin Feng asked.

"A lot!" A Liu was obviously much happier when he mentioned the Anle Festival, and there was some expectation in his eyes: "I heard that the human race will come out to visit the lanterns, set off firecrackers, and set off river lanterns... We mermaids and demons also have our own customs. On that day, the mermaids can gather in the moat..."

"But the program arranged by the City Lord's Mansion should be the highlight."

"That day, the City Lord's wife will ride a float parade and distribute prizes along the way, and a sacrifice will be held outside the City Lord's Mansion to pray for good weather and good harvests in the next year. "

When Qin Feng heard the words "good weather and good harvests", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Le Zheng Yujing beside him scratched his head in confusion: "Miss Liu, does Anle City still need to pray for good weather and good harvests?"

Although Le Zheng Yujing had never been out, he also knew that Anle City was in the deep cold abyss, and there was no need to farm at all, and there was no way to farm at all, so how could there be good weather and good harvests?

However, Liu seemed to be completely unaware of this. When she heard Le Zheng Yujing's words, she was a little embarrassed: "What's wrong, young master, did Liu say something wrong?"

It seems that she doesn't understand the world of the human race at all, so she doesn't understand what the four words "good weather and good harvests" mean.

She just remembered it after hearing others say it.

"It's okay, you continue." Qin Feng skipped this topic: "Have you seen the sacrifice again? "

Hearing this, A Liu shook his head in disappointment: "No, we slaves can only go out at night, how can we see such an important ceremony?"

"But I heard... I heard from the guests that the ceremony on the Anle Festival is very grand, and everyone will wear their most beautiful clothes and pray for the blessing of the gods."

"Oh, right!" A Liu remembered something, and his eyes lit up: "I heard that the city lord's wife will also be present that day, and she will also dance a prayer dance."

"I heard from my guests that the city lord's wife is actually the most beautiful and noble woman in this Anle City. She is like a goddess and she fascinates everyone. "

"I really want to see it with my own eyes..."

A Liu seemed to have overlooked that she was also a beautiful woman.

Or rather, she didn't think she was worthy of being compared with the city lord's wife. After all, she was a mermaid, and her beauty was all illusion, so she couldn't be considered a beauty.

Seeing the reverence on her face, Qin Feng felt that he had grasped something ethereal: "Since you want to see it, then come and see it with us this time."
