Volume 2 The Golden Covenant and the Dispute with Shennuo Chapter 20 Carnival Day
On April 12th, the night was shining brightly. Redleaf City, brightly lit and full of people, the streets are full of stalls and all kinds of entertainment.
On the central street, the procession slowly stops and a wonderful local performance is underway. Two sorceresses with light makeup pull apart, creating an empty passage for the show. They threw their silk handkerchiefs into the air, which turned into countless petals in the air, drawing applause from the crowd.
A god dressed as a wolf king and a god in blue and white armor flash among the petals. Kano, dressed as the Wolf King, let out a roar, and Kamiso, dressed in armor, raised his cloak and drew his sword at him.
When the imitators retreated, the two goddesses recited a soft incantation: "O nature god of the Dream Forest, adorn with starlight." ”
Suddenly, in the forest outside the city, fireflies flew. Gradually, the entire Dream Forest glowed with light. The starlight spread into the city and fell again. As another burst of magical starlight flashed, the two costumers began to dance in circles. And crowds poured here from all sides of the central street. Immediately afterward, the streets burst into fierce applause and cheerful cheers.
The cheers reached the grocery store across the street, where Glori and his three buddies were shopping for something.
"Abandoned City doesn't show up until around 1 a.m., so we can rest until then and be well prepared. Glori said.
"The little bottle I picked out just now has been packed. Guest, do you want anything else?" asked the shopkeeper.
As Iris saw Glori talking to her boss, she leaned on Zoe's shoulder and looked to the door.
Passing by the door of the store was a slightly chubby Shennuo. He was pushed away by a young goddess with a brand new silk dress. "Let's go check it out. There's a magician performing on Center Street, and I've heard it's exciting!" said Goddess No.
Elrith heard the words of the goddess. She was a little curious, and then shook Zoe's arm. "Zoe, we should go see the local show. She looked forward to it.
"You're always like that. You naughty angel. Zoe said. She was so impressed by Irris's clear gaze that she took her hand and ran out of the store.
Iris turned around and smiled happily.
"Dylan, I'll take care of the rest. We're going to see a show!" shouted Elris.
Dylan nodded. He had drunk a little too much last night, and he didn't look like he was waking up, but his eyes flashed when he looked at the figure in the distance.
Dylan involuntarily let his gaze gradually dim, and finally evolved into a daze, which caught Glori's attention.
"Dylan, can you tell she likes you? That's a nice girl. Glori smiled and tucked the paper bag containing the small bottle into his burlap backpack.
"Does she like it? Glori, you guy. How do you know?" Dylan took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand to hide the joy that hung on the corner of his mouth, "The roast chicken leg on the stall outside tastes really good. Brother, do you want one? ”
Then, Dylan shook the paper bag of chicken thighs he was holding in his left hand.
Glori shook his head, pointing diagonally across from the potion shop. She smiles at you, and is defenseless. He said. He tossed his money bag and walked with Dylan towards the potion shop.
"I know you've got everything planned. I'm too lazy to think about it that much, eating chicken is what I'm good at. Yes, I'm good at it. You should also try this chicken leg. Dylan spat out the bone in his mouth and took out another chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
After a while, Glori and Dylan walked out of the potion shop. They saw the crowd move from the central street to the entrance of the lord's hall.
Glori tapped the package. "There's no more to this package. In a while, we'll have to go to the fireworks party, so we'll have to meet up with Iris and Zoe. He said.
At that moment, there was a shout from Elris.
"You're still here. Aren't you going to a fireworks party tonight?" Iris pulled Zoe and ran to Glori and Dylan. She was out of breath. But Zoe didn't feel tired and went to grab Dylan's chicken leg wrap.
"My chicken legs," Dylan smiled again with a disgruntled expression, "haha, there's another delicious meal for the evening, and the chicken legs are left for you." ”
"Guys, let's go to the Lord's Hall. Glori looked at the trio and shook his head, interrupting their playfulness.
Before the parade ends, the fireworks feast will begin. Under the watchful eye of the guards, the Glories and the rest of the team lined up to enter the courtyard of the Lord's Hall.
There are five long tables in the courtyard, and each long table is counted as one column, and twenty chairs are placed in each column. And at the front is the round table of the royal family. Next to the pillars in the courtyard, the maids waited quietly for the guests to take their seats.
The people paid their respects to the prince and took their seats.
"Raise the steel turntable. Marin saw the prince waving his hand, and gave orders to the guards in the aisle.
"Raise the turntable!"
The order reached the guards in the control room. When he pulled the lever off the wall, the whole hall resounded with the sound of gears turning, and the creaking of ropes. The ground in the courtyard slowly rose like this. The maids stepped forward and stood around the feast. When everything stopped, the maids stepped forward and filled themselves with wine.
"The fireworks show begins. Marin said. Everyone raised their glasses.
At this time, the crackling sound of fireworks rang out in the square, and people danced to the fireworks. The masked Mary took the opportunity to make her way through the crowd and into the inn.
As soon as she entered, Mary spotted Victor sitting in the corner. "Baron, keep an eye on me this time, this is your chance to become the chief of the royal knights. She approached and whispered.
Baron Victor drank it in one gulp, then slammed the glass on the table. "Okay, just listen to your ...... Temporary. His words were staccato and restless.
"Don't worry, Baron, this matter will not do you any harm. ”
Mary grabbed one of the flying moths and threw them into the lamp on the table. Her actions terrified the servants who watched the shop. The servant smashed an empty plate to the ground in a panic.
And what about the other moth? Attracted by the lights outside the store, it fluttered its wings and flew towards the fireworks party.
At the banquet, most of the seats were occupied by the nobles' Red Feather Legion. However, a few seats next to the royal round table were spared.
Sitting to the right of the royal round table is the Spur Expedition led by the mighty Briante Rowe Smith. He had a large currency bag around his waist. His wrinkled face smiled from time to time.
On the far left of Briant is Christoph Edwin, a hunter who excels at searching. He was of medium height, bearded, hunting and adventurous, and possessed a fortune worthy of his surname, except that the wealth in the ranks was not distributed among him. He carefully held the cup, did not look at the other side of the round table once, and did not toast and chat with other teams, but just chatted with his teammates around him.
"She's so beautiful. Christopher kept his eyes on the woman on the right.
Dressed like a man, Joe Jennier leans on Christopher's shoulder. "Hey, how are we going to divide it this time?" she was drunk.
"Gold?distribution?ha, that's Daddy Bryant's business. He should have thought it out a long time ago. Christopher said. He was about to put his right hand on Judy's shoulder, but was hugged by Bryant, who was on the far right, along with Judy, with his left arm.
Behind him, there was a huge package in the fat man of God, and he looked at Juy Jeannier on the other side of the table. "Look, the grace of the feminine goddess, she doesn't have it at all. He said.
When Judy heard this, she felt like she had been poured cold water, and she instantly became sober, and she got up suddenly.
"Ma'am, please forgive him for what he said. He's just a stupid fat guy who can't speak. The short man beside the fat man stood up and raised his glass to Juy.
And what about Glori's group? They were sitting on the left side of the round table. Dylan didn't care about eating meat, with several bottles of wine around him, and knives and forks were messed up. And Iris habitually sipped the wine in her glass, staring at Zoe who had been wiping the grease stains on her gloves.
"You see, the girls of the human family are more elegant than she is. How could she look like that? It's a banquet. The fat man said.
"I said, fatty, what kind of medicine did you take in your mouth? That girl will give you a little less fat. The short man whispered.
"Terran girls are not only elegant, they also look decent. The fat man said again.
"Iris is just good......" Dylan belched. This caused Irrith to blush, and Judy was asleep on the table.
"Daddy Bryant, this is cheap that fat man, Judy is asleep. If Judy had been awake, he would have been searching for teeth all over the floor," Christopher said with a laugh, "and the first time we saw her, she was as graceful as the other goddesses, and the next day she was like this, and we were amazed." ”
"Then she must be a good fighter. A red-feathered knight scoffed. This caused the five explorers in the Mangspur expedition to stand up with their fists clenched.
Suddenly, Bryant raised his glass. "Hats off to Prince Will Toby Grace!" he exclaimed. He wanted to break this atmosphere of disharmony.
"Yes, that's right! Another nobleman stood up and raised his silver glass.
Dylan poured Glori's half-left glass and stood up. "Will Toby Grace!" he shouted.
Glori stood up and looked at the prince as he watched with all eyes on him. He thought about the process of rescuing the prince in his heart, and a chill rushed through his body. He was a little worried, and an indescribable feeling stuck in his heart was like a fish in his throat.
After a burst of fireworks, the sound of wine glasses clashing. With the cry of the owl, the feast dispersed. The four of Glori returned to their rooms in the main hall.
Back in his room, Glori checked the package he had used for his trip. The package contained five bottles of Red Leaf Tree Potion, one bottle of Victorian powder, and a bundle of bandages wrapped in paper. "Hmm...... It's nineteen:59, and it's still some time before departure. He said.
As for Dylan, he was a little sleepy and buried himself in a plush quilt. The scent of fresh lavender filled the room and made him sleep soundly.
Iris and Zoe were reading letters from the Revival Corps in the house. A returning traveler sits on a gilded wooden chair and sipps a Crestal fruit drink.
The moonlight is getting brighter. In the square, Wang Ziwei was chatting with Ma Lin, the leader of the Seven Star Knights, waiting for the team to arrive.
