Chapter 6 The Dark Period and the Starry Sky Festival
What is the Starry Sky Festival?
This has to start with some basic attributes of traveling through the planet.
Like a third-rate time travel novel, while taking over the body and reincarnation, you instantly figure out which planet, continent and country you are on, and then you can set various occupations, low, medium and high realms in Yemen. There is no such thing as Yemen.
What era is it when the earth is a planet? How does the continent be surrounded by the ocean, how to divide national borders, and what era is it when it is? It is also after the popularization of basic education.
If you take an ordinary person out, you won’t say it’s far away. A hundred years ago, in mainland China, a poor city, you ask him what the earth is like? How big is China? How many people know about the titles of professors in universities.
Therefore, we must combine memory and observation, and reasoning in the last minute—
Like the earth, the planet rotates around for a day, and there is no problem with this.
Then, the planet revolves around the huge Jupiter, and in this world it is called the father star, also known as the sky-dominated huge planet, which is one month and forty days.
As for one year, in this world, it is not a circle around the sun, it is called a century, about twelve years.
The year here is divided into nine months. Whenever the fierce battle month in August is reached, the sun will give birth to a small tail, and the bright lines around the sun will change freely. The sun will become dim and the climate will be cold. Legend has it that this is the relationship between the God of Light and the God of Darkness.
The battle usually lasts two months. When the victory month of September ends, the vision of the sun disappears, and the light overcomes the darkness. Even if the old year passes, a new year will usher in.
[According to your description, we judge that this galaxy is actually a binary star system. In addition to the blue sun, there is also a dense celestial body such as dwarf or neutron stars that rotates relative to the sun, with a period of about one year. When the elliptical orbit reaches the closest distance, the other planet will absorb matter from the sun and release jets, which is the origin of the Fierce Battle Moon and the Victory Moon.] The astronomer's top highlight.
[Experts are experts at least, so they cannot deny everything just because of their character.]
Strange words are everywhere in the live broadcast room, but experts from all walks of life have been prepared for this and will continue to be unaffected-
[However, according to our deduction, the too huge father star and even more huge halo, there is an astronomical phenomenon that may be staged too frequently...]
"That's what I'm talking about!" Liang Kai slapped his thighs violently.
What astronomical phenomenon?
eclipse!
Because the father star is too large and has a halo tied with a belt, it should have been a relatively random astronomical phenomenon, becoming a repertoire that will be performed every month on this planet.
Whenever the planet rotates to the back of the parent star and looks across the sun, the entire planet will be blocked and continues to rotate in the shadow area of the parent star.
By then, the entire sky will be covered with the edges of the father star and its huge halo, with an average duration of about ten days.
That's right, ten days!
Astronomical phenomena that usually end in a few minutes will last for a full ten days in this world!
One month here is forty days, which means almost a quarter of the time is solar eclipse...
[Oh oh, this wave of settings is bright!] In the live broadcast room, ghosts and wolves howl, and demons dance around.
But it's not over yet-
The light is dim during the solar eclipse, and it is not necessary to say that the planet's temperature will drop sharply. Since urban civilization has been developed on this planet, it is not a problem to deal with changes in the solar term.
The bigger problem is that when the sun's light is refracted and scattered by the parent star, the planet is in a dark period. According to this world, the source power will be destroyed and fall into extreme instability, and the world barrier will become fragile...
What does it mean? That is... at that time, every place and every inch of land on this planet may have temporary overlapping areas.
If an ordinary person mistakenly enters the overlapping area, he will be teleported to the other side. He is lucky and is still nearby, but he has to be lucky. It is usually good to stay on this planet...
What's more likely is that they are teleported to the flame hell, the ice hell, the bottomless abyss [non-dnd or other fantasy settings, Liang Kai's translation style] The other world with harsh environments, which disappears from the bones...
Naturally, if those foreign beasts and monster races travel through overlapping areas, they will also appear in this world, carrying strange powers from various incredible places, bringing unimaginable disasters to this place.
The history of this planet is simply a history of resistance, from the earliest passive beatings, to gradually gathering together to form civilized communities, to orderly defense and even counterattacks...
So every time the dark period comes, ordinary people will concentrate in defensive cities and spend the long night with the food accumulated in the light period.
"Only users of the power of the trained source have the ability to take risks from the city. At that time, they will naturally take action, join the army attacked by the lord, or teams cooperate with the adventure from the city, or even fight alone."
For these people, danger is opportunity.
Rare beasts are full of treasures all over their bodies, and the methods of condensation from different regions vary from place to place, such as skin, hair, bone, blood... the rarer it is, the more valuable it is;
Exploring overlapping points and entering foreign spaces are all risky behaviors that may bring great rewards, rare minerals! Races that are cherished! Profitable exchange! Even if it is just a trade route, it means a considerable wealth!
Places with rich resources may even establish a stable star gate, which is equivalent to discovering an overseas territory that can continuously share profits.
The so-called star tower is a central building that controls the opening and closing of the star gate within a certain range. It is also a place where source energy users such as war, law, and animal husbandry communicate, cultivate feelings, and exchange information, and are equivalent to legendary taverns.
As for the Star Festival, the rare opportunity night for adventurers, for ordinary people, it is a carnival night—
The monsters outside the city, the ghosts of the abyss, and the believers of the darkness, listen to them! See clearly! Be careful! You have taken away the light, and cannot take away the flames that we ignite with the blood of life! You have brought fear, but cannot stop our carnival that is not afraid of death! Although your roars and roars sound, we will overwhelm you with hundreds of times laughter and singing!
It seems that since ancient times, the world has had similar beliefs and has been passed down to this day.
Of course, the customs of each city and place are different. Some people create happiness through blind dates, some people engage in sports, duels, and even some people simply eat meat and drink big pieces... There are many different kinds of things.
【…………】
The live broadcast room gradually became quiet, and I held my breath and listened to Liang Kai’s narrative in peace.
Compared with the above activities, circus performance is also an important and traditional way, so it is very popular no matter where it is. The audience will receive rewards, the lord will allocate funds, and treating food, drinks and small gifts are also the only meaning in the question.
Feimina traveled around with this small circus and had definitely gained a lot.
However, there is only one best stage, and there is only one group that can perform on the best stage. It is the chief elected by the Council.
The others are not impossible to perform, but they have no good position and even compete with some folk spontaneous performers for the street stage.
And...the current Taijieshan City is a little different from other places at other times.
What's the difference?
It is June now, and it is the time when the wet southeast trade winds are blowing. In the following days, the following days slowly turn into dry and cold northwest trade winds. Therefore, most of the ships drifting on the sea ended their own sails and returned to the port.
The Taijieshan City is not a port, but there is a river that flows down the winding and winding along the Taijieshan Mountain, and it travels southwards. It flows into the sea outside the three-views, and there is a port there.
"Watching is a unit of length, which means standing on the flat ground and not visible to each other. According to my impression, it looks about three or four kilometers." Liang Kai explained.
But... the port is too small and usually okay, but when it comes to the dark period, it is really not enough to provide defense. The sailors and adventurers on the ship are unwilling to stay in such a small place to pass the time after a long and boring voyage, and they all come to the Steps and Mountain City.
Bored sailors and adventurers along the boat also organized a performance group to grab the chief.
With the preparations in front, the people in the live broadcast room no longer talked about the concepts of ports, docks, ships, sailors, and trade winds.
Moreover, not only that, there is a family in Taijieshan City that takes the opera troupe as its surname, passed down from generation to generation, and almost all the starry sky festivals performed.
The competition between the three parties is fierce!
In addition, there was another serious performance accident last night, and the start was unfavorable, which was really difficult.
Even so, you still have to win!
