I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

"It is very painful to be without a heart. Many happiness in this world requires a heart to feel."

The old man bent one right leg and changed into a more comfortable position.

"It's even less fun when you don't even drink."

"After drinking better wine, you will naturally not think about drinking these wines." Xia Ya said.

"Oh?" The old man turned his head and looked at Xia Ya with interest, "What kind of wine have you drunk?"

Xia Ya also found a wine barrel to sit on, watching him.

"Bacchus, the wine made by Dionysus."

The old man was obviously stunned, but then he laughed very happily.

"Then you must have had a good drunken time."

"That's not true. I don't drink much."

But the old man raised a finger and waved it, and said seriously, "The wine brewed by Dionysus will make you drunk. If you don't get drunk, it must not be brewed by Dionysus."

Xia Ya said with interest, "Is it so absolute?"

"Do you know why Dionysus is also the God of drama?" the old man said.

"Why?" Xia Ya replied very cooperatively.

"Due to Hera's jealousy and persecution, Dionysus has been living a wandering life. Although the days of escape and wandering were painful, they also brought him infinite pleasure, excitement, intoxication and madness.

And what brought him this was wine. "

He looked at the celebrating crowd around him and said happily, "Life is a tragedy, and the biggest tragedy is that it has no ultimate basis.

The birth and existence of human beings are meaningless, but life dares to bear its own meaninglessness without becoming depressed and declining. This is the pride of life!

Drunkness is such an experience. It looks directly at the pain, but gains joy in the pain and obtains tragic intoxication.

Abandoning the shackles of tradition and returning to the original state, human beings gain great joy in life from the desperate and painful wail of disappearing individuals and becoming one with the world.

This is the fun of drinking! "

The drunkenness on the old man's face became even stronger, "Dionysus will never make such boring things as wine that won't make you drunk!"

Xia Ya was also looking at the people celebrating around him. He recalled the scene where people were singing together just now. He could now understand the meaning of the old man's words.

It is not pessimism, because it celebrates life, nor is it optimism, because it accepts suffering.

It is very similar to Zhuangzi's Happy Journey, forget everything, enjoy the fun of life, go to the heart, pursue freedom and transcendence.

Although the old man never said it clearly, he understood why the god of wine was also the god of drama.

This spirit can be summed up in one sentence: Look at all tragedies with a smile.

"Go ahead and party!"

The old man grinned and said with a red face, "Even an unintentional person can enjoy the joy of the Bacchanalia!"

Xia Ya felt a force pushing him into the carnival crowd, and he didn't know when he had a large glass of wine in his hand.

Alicia was also in the crowd. Her shoes had been taken off at some point, and she stepped on the wet ground with her bare feet, jumping excitedly, holding the wine glass high in her hand, and shouting loudly.

Arthur was entangled by several dancers dressed like forest girls. They grabbed Arthur's hands and led him to dance around the bonfire, and he seemed to enjoy it.

He silently raised the drink in his hand and took a sip. The rich aroma of the wine bloomed in his mouth, making people want to keep drinking.

It was exactly the same as the wine he drank before that Sebastian brewed for his Bacchus.

The old man's identity seemed to be revealed.

According to Sebastian, most of the gods have fallen into deep sleep, but some gods are still alive, including the missing god of wine, Dionysus.

Xia Ya took a few sips, and soon noticed that it was different from the wine he drank before. It had greater stamina, and now he was a little dizzy.

But mentally I felt particularly happy for some reason.

Alicia came to his side at some point and took his hand. Her face was red, her nose smelled of wine, and she had an involuntary smile on her lips.

The palace is a very depressing place, where Alicia cannot even express her emotions easily.

After this emotional restraint is released, it will become extremely turbulent.

"Come together! Char!"

She pulled Chara into the crowd, cheered excitedly, jumped in place with the crowd, screamed and roared loudly.

Charia was pulled by her to join in the carnival, and his eyes stayed on Alicia, who was jumping happily.

If we say that the Alicia he met for the first time was a flower on a high mountain, she was kept away from strangers and had an unworldly nobility.

At this moment, she was like a red rose that had just bloomed, as passionate as fire.

As if aware of Char's gaze, Alicia also looked at Char and looked into her eyes.

Looking at his face, which was much calmer than the hysteria around her, a large amount of dopamine was released in her mind, shaking her sanity.

"Char!"

She shouted Xia's name excitedly.

"I love you!!!"

Xia Ya raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc, but did not answer. He stared at her quietly, looking at her deepest soul through that layer of disguise.

After a moment, he sounded teasing.

"I can't hear what you said!"

Because the surroundings were so noisy, Xia Ya subconsciously increased her voice.

"I said."

Alicia took a deep breath, and then shouted at the top of her lungs.

"I love you!!!"

The crowd around him seemed to be quiet for a while because of the sudden shout, but it was short-lived.

Then, there were even more enthusiastic cheers and screams.

"Oooo!!!!"

Alicia also shouted excitedly and waved the wine in her hand.

Xia Ya just looked at her quietly, smiling slightly, and there was a trace of smile in his eyes as quiet as the night,

The carnival lasted until the sun rose the next day, but Char and others had to go back earlier because Alicia was drunk and fell on Char at one or two in the morning.

In the second half of the carnival, Xia Ya clearly understood why this kind of festival was banned.

People vent their emotions without restraint and release all shackles. While gaining joy, they also release their inner desires and darkness.

The second half of the night was synonymous with chaos.

Of course, the people in the town are very experienced, so there are still some non-drinking managers nearby to maintain law and order.

Although the Dionysian spirit is very similar to the free travel, it has the desire for self-destruction and is more indulgent and crazy.

When Char rescued Arthur from the crowd of dancers, he already had a confused look on his face with lipstick marks all over his face.

Indeed, as Foster said, this is indeed not a place for children.

Although drunkenness can indeed vent their inner emotions, on the other hand, as long as they are not drunk to the point of nerve paralysis, these drunken memories will actually remain in their minds.

Many so-called people who don't remember anything after being drunk just don't want to think about it, and sometimes people even have extremely clear memories of their drunken days.

Alicia proved this when she woke up the next morning.
