Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 58 Spring Festival

Led by Bradel, the "God of Honor," the giants encountered along the way either knelt or prostrated themselves, none daring to look Bradel directly in the eye, even though he had concealed his mythical creature form.

Hermaine, who was small and insignificant, followed by them, actively observed these humble giants. Every time she observed them, she could feel the stinging pain from the brand on her back.

That stemmed from the spiritual imprint of "giants eating people" that she carried.

Bradel then spoke up: "A demigod among humans, you are quite special."

"Oh?" Helmaenie said without much change in expression, "Why?"

Bradel's vertical eye, focused in the center, gleamed brightly: "You are the only human that my father, mother, and brother have all mentioned."

Helmani smiled and said, "It's an honor."

"That's not all." Bradel seemed rather lonely in his daily life, and he had a strong urge to confide in others, rambling on and on: "Father said that you will nurture the future of mankind, and that will be the greatest glory in your short life."

A short life? Glory?

Helmani felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly, but she was puzzled about what kind of future humanity the "King of Giants" was planning.

Helmani exclaimed exaggeratedly, "The future of humanity? Could it be that we humans will one day rise to power? It's hard to imagine what that would be like!"

Bradel laughed heartily. "Father didn't say anything specific, but he did mention that humans have great potential... However, I really can't see any potential in you weak humans."

"Of course, you are a demigod of humanity, and you are very different from those other insects. Perhaps you will become a new subordinate god of our giant race." Although his tone was civilized, his choice of words fully exposed Bradel's arrogance. In his character, he had no concept of respecting the person he was speaking to.

"Me? From God?" Hermaine's tone rose.

“Mother and brother say the same thing,” Bradel chuckled gruffly. “They deliberately collect fresh reptile corpses from the battlefield… those despicable dragons! But those reptiles are shrunken like tortoise shells.”

Omibella is actually collecting dragon traits for herself...

But this is not a kind gesture.

They then arrived at a giant square where a festival was being prepared.

In the center of the square stand twelve stone pillars, each a hundred meters tall, adorned with exquisite murals and reliefs, though the project is not yet complete.

A female giant is painting a mural.

Bradel explained, "Hervosya is the most outstanding master among our people, and she was responsible for creating the vast majority of the murals and reliefs for this Spring Festival."

The giantess, absorbed in her work, did not respond to Bradel. Bradel, unusually, showed no anger, but simply led Helmaene to admire the unfinished works.

These murals and reliefs all celebrate the history of giants, from the birth of the giant race to their present glory.

"The King of Giants" itself occupies 90% of the book, interspersed with descriptions of giants like Omibella, Badhre, and Bradel who descended from gods.

Hermaine saw in the earliest section a mural depicting the birth of the "King of Giants" at dusk.

In the mural, two blurry figures representing the progenitor are depicted in the twilight.

The faces of the two blurry figures could be vaguely seen to have a single vertical eye and a physique taller than the giant tree in the background.

Hermaine examined the murals and reliefs with a strange feeling in her heart.

Is this depicting the progenitor of the giant race?

Bradel, pointing to the mural, talked incessantly about His glorious path to becoming the "God of Glory."

Helmani, who had been patiently listening for a long time without even letting Bradel catch his breath, interrupted helplessly, "I heard... the progenitor of the giants is buried in the 'Decaying Forest'?"

"There are many such rumors..." Bradel's gaze swept over the mural on the first stone pillar, and he said, "Anyway, I have never seen a giant older than my father since I was born."

"You've never been inside the 'Wilderness Forest'?"

"Of course not, that's forbidden territory for us giants."

The fact that humans were the progenitors of giants was something the "King of Giants" had kept completely hidden. Helmaenie thought to herself.

After viewing these celebratory reliefs, Helmani steered the conversation toward the origins of the Giants' Spring Festival.

Bradel explained, "It's to commemorate my father establishing the 'Four Seasons'."

Helmaene had heard of this when she was among the humans. This is still Earth, and it is possible that the "King of Giants" rediscovered and established the "Four Seasons" during the barbaric era.

Many customs of ancient civilizations originated from giants and elves; for example, elves like to use chopsticks.

Hermaine speculated that giants and elves, these extraordinary overlords evolved from humans, must have retained a small portion of the cultural heritage of the old civilization.

However, in those chaotic, long, and irrational times, what they could truly pass down were probably just these scraps and remnants.

The old civilization was ultimately buried by time...

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After wandering around, Helmaenie took the opportunity to bring back some cheese, honey, and other food prepared for the festival.

When Helmaene returned to her residence, she saw Selena clutching a prayer flag...

"Where have you been?" Selena, her face still showing signs of anxiety, hadn't even put away the statue. Upon seeing Helmaenie, she quickly stood up and asked.

"Invited... I went out for a stroll." Helmaenie piled the food she'd brought back in front of Selena, noticing the barely perceptible craving in the girl's eyes, and smiled, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

Selena looked a little aggrieved.

She opened her eyes to find that the First Congressman she was supposed to follow had disappeared.

They tried to go out and search, but were stopped by the giant guards. Even when they tried to talk to the giants and ask them questions, they were only met with extremely arrogant indifference.

She could only anxiously clutch the statue of the "Lady of the Night," preparing to pray... and then she saw Helmaene returning with a huge pile of food.

She was too preoccupied to eat anything.

"Eat some of this first. Is there anything else you'd like to eat? I'll make it for you." Helmani ruffled the girl's hair. "Next time I go out, I'll let you know in advance."

At the enormous, giant-style dining table, Selena ate her food rather casually, but she chewed it carefully before swallowing. Aside from Osekus, few people from the tribe paid attention to dining etiquette.

The tribe, which was not well-supplied with resources, had not yet developed these things, but Helmani had the idea of ​​improving them later.

"So, it was the 'God of Glory' who invited you to visit the Giants' Court?" Selena asked curiously as she finished eating and tidied up the large table.

Helmani shook her head and smiled, "We only visited a small part, mainly looking at the decorations for the spring festival."

Selena felt a sense of longing upon hearing this. Although she remained wary, it was hard for a girl her age not to fantasize about what a celebration held in the royal court by a powerful race like the giants would look like.

Seeing Selena's expression, Helmaenie thought for a moment and said, "Then... shall I tell you what I saw?"

Selena initially showed reserved resistance, but when Helmaenie began to describe it to herself, she listened intently with wide eyes...
