Lato rarely talked to people about the sea prayer ceremony, and said very strongly:
"Yes, the 'Governor of the Sea' marries the sea, thereby eliminating the violence of the sea and making it peaceful, and the 'Governor of the Sea' truly becomes the husband of the sea, thereby gaining the power to control this sea.
"As deacons and deacons, we can also receive gifts from the satisfaction and joy of the sea, from this wedding, and gain different degrees of extraordinary power.
It turns out that "Governor of the Sea" is synonymous with "Husband of the Sea"...... The deacon and deputy deacon, who are equivalent to the relatives of the wedding party or the friends who help before and after, naturally receive a lot of thanks, and other people with the blood of the sea are like children attending the wedding, and they can generally receive a few candies...... Lumian combines real and novel weddings to try to understand Lato. Giaro's description of the sea prayer ceremony.
He asked curiously:
"Will the 'Governor of the Sea' do that kind of thing with the sea?"
Don't weddings always end with the newlyweds going to bed?
"Of course it will!" Lato gushed endlessly, "After completing the marriage process, the sea will be attached to the four 'maids of the sea' and combined with the 'Governor of the Sea' through them, so the first child born to every 'maid of the sea' is a noble person with pure sea blood, and has the strongest extraordinary ability.
"Why four instead of one 'maid of the sea' is because a single human cannot bear the vastness, vastness, heaviness and transcendent of the sea, and must have enough companions to share it."
The more I listen to this, the more evil it becomes...... No wonder they will be valued, and their fate will change, the only problem is to admit and love his wife's first child...... Lumian pondered for a moment and said:
"Can the 'Governor of the Sea' withstand the enthusiasm of the sea?"
And it's four at a time.
Lato said without any pity or sympathy:
"One of the two most important purposes of the vigil is to use that house and some of the Sea Dependents hidden in that house to change the body of the 'Governor of the Sea' so that they can withstand the fury and wantonness of the sea.
"This is the reason why the 'Governor of the Sea' can only be a year, even with physical changes, the acquisition of power and extraordinary promotion, they cannot endure longer."
Consumables, the husband of the sea is a consumable...... Lumian sighed secretly and said:
"Then why did the 'Governor of the Sea' return to the sea after leaving office?"
"No one knows the specific reason, but there is a certain speculation, Juan. Oro feels that the sea does not allow people who were once its husbands to start a new life, and I think it is the transformation of the vigil ritual, the erosion of marital intercourse, and the influence of the power of the sea, making the 'Governor of the Sea' more and more like a sea creature, rather than a human, and eventually return to the ocean that makes them feel peaceful and comfortable." Lato felt that his inference was correct.
What kind of thing are you talking about the sea...... Some kind of natural spirit that can manipulate the ocean or a supernatural creature? Lumian put Lato. Giaro's answers just now went through them again in his mind:
"The family of the sea?
"A wrinkled monster that can disguise itself as a demon and a long black worm that can burrow into the neck to control humans?"
"Yes." Lato wanted to light a cigarette, but his hands couldn't move, "We, the 'children of the sea', can actually be regarded as the family of the sea, and one of our duties is to use our extraordinary abilities to guide some family members from the bottom of the sea to the land, and help them settle down and thrive."
But Ludwig said that the Batins black worm came from an alien planet, not from some sea family...... Lumian was not in a hurry to ask what extraordinary abilities the "children of the sea" have, he paid more attention to the details of the sea prayer ceremony itself:
"What is another important purpose of the vigil?"
Lato had an expression of "Do you lack enough knowledge about weddings":
"Wedding requires exchanging rings, and the other purpose of the vigil is to add additional uniqueness to a uniquely shaped but fixed gold ring while transforming the body of the 'Governor of the Sea', so that it can match the identity of the Bride of the Sea."
Uniquely shaped gold rings...... Lumian lifted his spirits and said:
"And then?"
Last year's prank on "April Fool's Day" included asking the marginal members to go to Tolerle to customize a gold ring and hide it in the belly of the lamb offering!
"Then, when the rest of the ceremony is complete, the 'Governor of the Sea' will take the gold ring, throw it into the water directly in front of the ship, and shout in a language unique to the sea:
"'O sea, I will marry you as a symbol of my conquest of you!'
"If the sea agrees to this wedding, it will set off gentle waves, turning them into white foam petals that will be sprinkled on the bodies of the four 'Maidens of the Sea'.
"The ring it gives back is symbolic, representing control over the waters around Santa Harbor." (Note 1)
Just the waters around Puerto Santa? It seems that it is indeed not the real sea, but something that can affect this sea...... Lumian thought for a few seconds and said:
"How do you say the phrase 'O sea, I will marry you......' in that unique language?"
Lato. Giaro thought about it slightly and made a chirping sound.
Lumian, who was still in the effect of the "Speak the Language" charm, did not understand it, believing that this was not a language in the Northern Continent.
At the same time, he saw Lato slowly shake his head along with the figure of the "Knight of the Sword" in his eyes.
If the "Knight of Swords" is really a member of the "Temperance Sect" of the "Rose School" split and joined the "Fool" Church, then he should know the languages of the Southern Continent, and he is not low in sequence, and the time he has been transcendent is not short...... What he meant was that this was not a language within the Southern Continent language family, let alone a supernatural language such as ancient Hermes, dragons, and elves? Lumian looked at Lato. Giaro asked amusedly:
"Are you sure what you said means 'O sea, I will marry you......'"
Lato hesitated for a few seconds and said:
"It should be, this is a language left over from ancient times, it has existed since the sea prayer ceremony, well, there are only a few sentences......"
Not sure...... I didn't master the language systematically, but I could only say two or three sentences according to the inheritance...... If I think the true meaning of that passage is "open the door of sesame", how can you refute it? Lumian felt that things might not be the way Lato described.
The people of the Fisheries Guild and Milo Village may be like some of the guys who have spoken to Aurore and Franka, taking a special language they don't understand and replacing its original meaning with their own understanding.
Lumian's thoughts flashed, and his expression did not change significantly:
"After that ring was specially attached, it was kept by the 'Governor of the Sea'?"
"No." Lato shook his head, "In addition to the 'Governor of the Sea', the 'Maid of the Sea' and the sailor responsible for operating the ship, there are also four 'Children of the Sea' of relatively pure blood on the ship as assistant deacons, guiding the 'Governor of the Sea' and the 'Maidens of the Sea' to hold different ceremonies, and teaching the 'Governor of the Sea' the 'Words of Marriage'. The gold ring is kept with one of the deacons, and it is not given to the 'Governor of the Sea' until it is ready to be used."
"Governor of the Sea" has no chance to exchange the ceremonial ring...... Lumian suppressed the eagerness in his heart and asked at a slow pace:
"What happened to the failure of last year's sea prayer ceremony? Even the 'Governor of the Sea' is dead."
Lato was startled at first, and then showed a relieved expression:
"That fake asked you for help?
"Yes, last year's sea prayer ceremony failed for some reason, the sea was furious, killing the 'Governor of the Sea' and the four 'children of the sea' who served as deputy deacons on the ship, only the 'Maid of the Sea' and some sailors survived."
The four deputy assistants are all dead? As soon as Lumian found the clue to "April Fool's Day", he found that it was broken.
The few people who had the best chance of replacing the sacrificial ring died in the failed sea prayer ceremony!
Lumian thought for a few seconds and said:
"What happened to the surviving 'Maid of the Sea' and the sailors?"
"They are all alive, but they are closely monitored." Seeing that the failure of last year's sea prayer ceremony had been leaked, Lato didn't care much about the survivors' information, "We arranged for ordinary members of the family to marry the four 'Sea Maidens' who actually did not gain the power of the sea.
"Those sailors are all from Milo Village, Juan. Oro gave them some benefits, but at the cost of not being able to leave Milo Village until this year's sea prayer ceremony was successful."
Lumian suddenly changed the subject:
"Are sacrifices such as lambs for marrying the sea brought to deck by sailors?"
"Yes." Lato nodded, "This kind of bulky and laborious thing is done by sailors."
If the sailor is mixed with one of the "Bard", "Mad Woman" and "Salted Egg Superman", and the other party has a higher level of extraordinary abilities or magical items from the "Thief" path, then you can take advantage of the handover opportunity to steal the real sacrificial ring from the corresponding assistant assistant priest and replace it with a fake ...... The "Thief" path is one of the three ways influenced by the Heavenly Sovereign...... Lumian quickly had a certain speculation.
He calmly said to Lato. Giaro said:
"Tell me the information about the four 'Maidens of the Sea' and the surviving sailors last year."
Lato recalled while roughly repeating it.
After remembering the information of the suspected targets, Lumian asked instead:
"Will everyone who participates in the sea festival be inspected?"
"Yes, you can't bring unauthorized items on board, that may affect the effectiveness of the ceremony, and Juan. Oro will use his own power to monitor the ship before it arrives at its destination." Lato replied in detail.
Sure enough...... Lumian nodded slightly:
"Juan. What kind of power does Oro have?"
Note 1: The use of the ceremony of marrying the Venetian governor Li Zhou who should have been hanged to death.
