Green Monster Epic

Chapter 643: Celebration Day

"Jessie, are you buying groceries too!"

"Yes, what did you buy?"

"What else is there this season but these few fruits and vegetables? I'm really tired of eating these things every day!!"

"Then why don't you spend some money and buy some mutton or beef to improve your meals."

"You're giving me the money?? That mutton is so expensive, I'm content if I can eat it once a month. The three little devils at home are like bottomless pits, they have no restraint when it comes to eating!!"

"Isn't it the same for everyone…"

The earth goblin female, Betz, carried a wicker basket in her left hand, filled with fresh fruits and vegetables she bought from outside the town. While shopping, she happened to run into Jessie, a close earth goblin female, and the two gathered together, chatting warmly as they strolled through the streets.

"By the way, I heard that the clan leader's birthday celebration is going to be a big affair. Will your family be participating?"

"Of course, we'll participate! The great clan leader has blessed us, giving our family a peaceful and tranquil living environment. We should be grateful to the old man!!"

"That's right, look at those fellows in the wilderness, and then look at our lives, it's just too happy!!"

"That's right…"

The two chatted as they slowly disappeared into a small lane filled with greenery, occasionally emitting cheerful laughter, looking very content.

Green Lake Town has changed, with significant alterations.

The biggest change is that there are more and more evergreen plants inside and outside the town. With the frequent exchanges between the dark elves and Green Lake Town, and the residents of Green Lake no longer having the pressure to survive, they have turned to pursuing the quality of life. Not only do they have more comfortable requirements for their own home arrangements, but they also have more requirements for the town's environment to be pleasing to the eye.

This has led to an increase in green plants in the town. Families have begun to plant pots of lush greenery in front of their doors, or edible berry bushes, vegetables, and the like.

In addition, the town has hired professional gardeners. Now that there is no longer a shortage of water resources, the gardeners, in order to show their abilities, have begun to plant tall trees in the vacant places. The tribe actually shows signs of developing towards the greening of Corima Town.

And in the center of the square, which was flattened and developed, around the magnificent hobgoblin sculpture created in Allen's image, people used pots of potted plants to embellish and surround it, giving it a more sacred atmosphere in addition to its solemn momentum.

The goblins of the Green Wilderness Tribe, when they are free, always spontaneously come to the sculpture, clean it, clear away the garbage, or put on a pot of their own selected potted plants. And on Allen's birthday, many goblins will come to the square to gather and celebrate the birthday of the clan leader who is not present, which is also considered a small festival for the clan.

As for how Allen's birthday was spread, it is unknown, but a long, long time ago, the goblins had already begun to celebrate in this way.

And in the Month of Flowers of the Ogre Calendar 13561, on the third day of the second week, the entire Green Lake Town was plunged into a joyous atmosphere because of the arrival of the great clan leader's birthday. Every household was preparing, putting on the brand-new clothes they had prepared for themselves, and taking out the delicacies and wines they had treasured at home, secretly sending them to the square, just to show their gratitude.

Because there were too many people sending gifts, the new Green Lake Town Chief, Tris, simply discussed with the other supervisors and leaders in the town, and directly, without asking Allen's opinion, held a grand birthday celebration for Allen in the name of Green Lake Town.

Tris and the others knew the character of Clan Leader Allen. If they asked Allen for instructions, he would definitely not allow everyone to make a big fuss over this matter.

But the enthusiasm of the clansmen was unstoppable. There were too many gifts with no place to store them, and many had no value for storage. Instead of discarding them, it would be better to make good use of them and give these gifts back to the clansmen in the town, which would win people's hearts and avoid waste. What a great thing!!

The town's high-level officials have spoken out, wanting to hold a grand celebration, and the residents below are naturally happy to see it happen. There are not many entertainment activities in this world. Now, the tribal martial arts competition and cooking competition, which have been changed to once every four years, can attract countless residents to watch and cheer. Not to mention the matter of celebrating the birthday of the great leader, which is really very important in the hearts of most goblins!!

You must know that goblins have grown up listening to the legendary stories of the great clan leader since they were young. Regardless of whether they have chosen to embark on the path of a warrior, young goblins often regard Allen as their idol and goal. After this concept is formed, even in middle age, it will not change much.

After all, Allen, this idol, will not have the danger of his house collapsing!!

Every household was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the inside and outside of the house were cleaned and decorated colorfully. When Allen's birthday arrived, countless fireworks and firecrackers, and various musical instruments were played, turning the huge Green Lake Town into an ocean of joy.

A large number of chefs cultivated in the town were not idle either. A large amount of ingredients collected by the town hall were distributed to the chefs, and scenes of pots and spatulas flying over the flames appeared in every corner. Everyone took out their housekeeping skills and made fragrant dishes, and directly brought them to the dining tables laid along the streets.

The square used to be the place where everyone gathered to celebrate Allen's birthday. Now, with the expansion of the celebration scale, it has been determined that the venue cannot accommodate tens of thousands of clansmen to gather, and naturally, not many people go to the sculpture to admire the clan leader's majestic image.

This is not because everyone is only concerned with revelry, it is really limited by the venue. After all, when the square was built, the total population of the tribe was only a few hundred, who would have thought of such a large scale now!!

The wide main road was filled with dining tables of different sizes and shapes. Several neighboring goblins gathered together, chatting and tasting delicious food and wine, and when they were in high spirits, they would shout loudly to celebrate the birthday of Clan Leader Allen, who was not present, expressing their inner gratitude.

At this time, Allen, the hobgoblin leader who should have been the protagonist of the town's carnival, was hiding in the white clouds above Green Lake Town, looking at the joyous scene in the town with a complex expression and a bit of embarrassment.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I said that your image in your clansmen is majestic, and your rule is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. See, I was right!!"

Figglas, who didn't know where he stole a roasted beef leg from, was happily looking at Allen, his face full of teasing.

No wonder, the protagonist is not present, and the blessings shouted by the clansmen below are as if Allen had already died. I don't know whether Allen should be happy or angry at this time.

"Just gnaw on your bones!!"

Allen retorted unhappily.

Originally, according to his intentions, there was no need for such formalistic things. In addition, the tribal public treasury had been significantly depleted due to the construction of water conservancy facilities and disaster relief in recent years, making it even more unnecessary to waste the limited resources. However, Figlas believed that this was a great opportunity to prove and spread Allen's image and status, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming Food God Project.

With a reputation and an image deeply rooted in the hearts of the tribe, the chances of successfully promoting the pseudo-god Food God Project would naturally be much greater.

Figlas, who had seemingly become Allen's guide, used his half-baked inherited knowledge to advise Allen. However, Allen cooperated quite well. Compared to the dragons, who had some inherited knowledge and experience, Allen's two hundred years of life meant he knew absolutely nothing about the path to becoming a god.

Turning his gaze back to the joyous ocean in the town, Allen's face showed not only a hint of embarrassment but also the gratification of being recognized. For more than two hundred years, Allen had devoted most of his energy to the development and management of the tribe. Now, the heartfelt support and respect from the tribe was the reward for his efforts over the years.

The small celebration day, in Allen's eyes, made a certain idea in his heart even more firm, and his eyes had a little less confusion and hesitation.

The dragon beside him, seemingly interested in gnawing on a roasted beef leg, was actually watching Allen's subtle changes from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

The celebration lasted for two whole days before the joyous atmosphere gradually subsided. However, privately, the goblins would still excitedly gather together, discussing which table's dishes were novel and which were more delicious.

Not only the goblins, but even the traveling merchants and travelers who happened to be staying in Green Lake Town also benefited, eating and drinking for free in the town for two days. Many delicacies and novel dishes that they couldn't usually get were all placed on the tables by the goblin chefs this time, making these guests feel it was really worth it.

"...As expected of the City of Delicacies!! This time, it has opened my eyes. Those so-called royal chefs in our country are not even close to the chefs in this town!!"

In a tavern in the town, drinks were being exchanged, and a group of different races from all over the world were peacefully gathered in a line in front of the bar.

A middle-aged human man who looked like he had just come for the reputation, had a look of aftertaste and enjoyment on his face, recalling the delicacies he had just eaten not long ago, and unconsciously shed a few 'sad' tears at the corners of his mouth.

"You're lucky this time. It's your first time here and you've encountered this rare celebration day. I've only seen some of the dishes at their town's culinary competition that happens every few years. I actually tasted them yesterday!!"

Another handsome elf from the Elven Kingdom, although it was impossible to discern the other party's age, at least confirmed from his tone that this was another glutton who came for the food.

"Everything in the world is edible!!"

"Cooking is art, and the table is the chef's battlefield!!"

On the other side, a dwarf stroked his chin with a beard that had been braided into a dozen small braids, while raising the beer in front of him and swallowing it heartily, seemingly saying a few profound words that made people confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Yeah, what are you talking about!!"

The other guests seemed to be attracted by the dwarf's words and turned to look at him.

"《Food God's Sayings》, don't you know??"

The dwarf seemed casual, but the smug look in his eyes betrayed his true inner self.

"These two sentences were said by the Food God himself, and are now printed as the standard teaching material "Food God's Sayings" that every chef must learn. In the future, it will be the philosophical foundation for chefs to research new dishes!!"

"《Food God's Sayings》? Isn't the Food God their tribe's leader Allen?? Did he say these words himself??"

Everyone was even more curious and continued to inquire.

"Of course, otherwise the town's culinary academy wouldn't have published the words of their Food God into a book!! Let me tell you, many words in it are very philosophical..."

"Is that so??"

"Of course, for example, 'For the righteous, poison can also be cooked into delicious food; for the wicked, delicious food can also be transformed into poison'."

"And, that sentence..."

"Oh! Oh oh!!"

A group of people listened with great interest, silently elevating the image of this Allen Food God in their hearts.

In a secluded wine table in the corner, a short goblin was sitting with his back to the gossiping guests, seemingly just whiling away the boring night in the tavern like the other guests. In fact, his pair of pointed ears were attentively listening to the content of the guests' discussions in the tavern.

When he heard the words 'Food God's Sayings' in the other party's words, a mysterious smile appeared on the short goblin's face. Soon after, he settled the bill and left without disturbing the other guests, like a ghost, and no guests noticed his departure.

The short goblin's figure seemed very harmonious in the dark night. Although Green Lake Town had spent a lot of money to arrange fluorite lighting on the surrounding main roads, so that the streets would not be too dim, the short goblin always habitually bypassed the pale and dim light of the fluorite when walking. The whole person blended into the darkness, and few people could see the other party's face and whereabouts.

Until around a small garden full of green grass, the short goblin's figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and no one in the quiet garden saw this scene.

Creak!!

Hundreds of meters away, deep in a secluded alley, the door of a room inside a small courtyard was slowly pushed open, and the short goblin who had disappeared in the garden finally detached from the shadow plane, revealing his original face.

"No one is following, right?"

"I've turned around several times and haven't found a tail."

In the room, a blurry figure wearing a bronze mask asked as the short goblin arrived.

"Has the news been spread?"

"Yes, I specially stayed in the Night Owl Bar for a while just now, and the group of drunkards inside already know about the 'Food God's Sayings'."

The short goblin shadow walker, Kohan, originally belonged to the tribe's intelligence system. Later, after the tribe's intelligence system was integrated with Snowmi and Raven's Claw to establish a joint intelligence bureau, some of their members were separately transferred and joined the Green Lake Town Intelligence Division.

A few days ago, Kohan and several other colleagues were taken out of the Intelligence Division after an examination and formed the current unknown organization.

Their task is very simple and not simple. That is to spread certain rumors ordered by their superiors to every corner of the town, and they must not be discovered.

Until now, Kohan did not know the face of the superior in front of him, but he roughly judged from the posture and skin he showed that the other party was a male earth goblin, and even the other party's true battle profession could not be determined.
