The new year is coming with great swagger, and all the towns and cities of the Vogulet continent are holding grand celebrations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

No exception is the remote town of the Kingdom of Jadeut, named Ridingpa, which was once in a state of despair due to excessive poverty and contempt. Nowadays, the mountain town has ushered in a new look, and after a series of events, it has finally become prosperous, and in addition to the original residents of the mountain town, the number of foreign guests who have come to this town has also increased.

Of course, this day, in addition to being a new year, is also a coming-of-age ceremony for the lord of the castle who rules this mountain city.

Every shop on the street is decorated with celebratory colorful banners, which not only congratulate the Happy New Year, but also celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony of the lord of the castle.

The place where the coming-of-age ceremony is held is the area around the castle lord's mansion.

Lance walked out of the grocery store with a pile of things in his arms and walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

On the way over, next to several large wooden boxes, Lance met several acquaintances.

"Happy New Year, Lance, did you start early in the morning to help prepare?"

The man who spoke was a baby-faced teenager leaning against a wooden box, with a few children a few years younger than him, who seemed to be discussing something with them before Lance came over.

"Path, you're not going to help?"

After asking Paz, Lance turned his head slightly, said hello to the children, and said Happy New Year.

"No, it's so lively today, and a place with a lot of people means that I have more opportunities to make money, and I won't let go of these opportunities. ”

"Danica, she's going to be upset, aren't you her childhood friend?"

"She'll be upset if you're not there. Paz pursed his lips and glanced at the lively scene nearby, "The city is celebrating Danica, I'm about the same age as her, but only a few months younger than her, and her coming-of-age ceremony is really grand." ”

"Sounds like jealousy...... Path, after all, is the lord of the city. ”

"It would be nice if that thing could be exchanged for money, and I'm actually grateful to her for giving me so many opportunities to make money. ”

"Don't say that, you grew up together. ”

"Hmph, as one of her few friends, I will prepare a gift full of surprises today, Lance, you should hurry back, don't waste time here!"

"Why do I suddenly feel a little uneasy......

"By the way, Lance, by the way, I've heard that there are some special guests coming today!"

"Special guests?"

Lance was about to ask, but Paz waved his hand but turned his back to him, re-discussing something with the children, and ignoring him.

"Forget it......" Lance shrugged, he'd see you in a moment anyway.

So, Lance continued to walk forward, and halfway there, his eyes were suddenly drawn to a sign with a golden light.

"Is that made of pure gold?"

"When did Esly open a magic shop here?"

Lance had never heard of such a shop in the mountain town after being here for so long, and he thought about it for a moment, probably when he left Ridingpa some time ago.

He shook his head and continued to walk forward, and as he took a step, a figure suddenly flashed out.

"Wait a minute, please. ”

Lance saw a young man with blond hair and blue eyes appear in front of him, and the boy looked at him with a smile.

"This guest, if you're not busy, would you like to come in and have a look at our store?"

"I have something to do. Lance shook his head in refusal.

"Please wait!" Seeing that Lance wanted to leave, the young man stepped forward again to stop him, "It's only a matter of delaying you for five minutes, just come in and take a look, our magic shop has just opened a few days ago, many people don't know much about the magic shop, business has been bad, just five minutes! Just come in and have a look! Otherwise, there is really no way to do business." ”

Lance saw his expectant look on his face, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

Lance scratched his face, "Five minutes? Five minutes doesn't matter, I hope she won't get angry at me for five minutes...... Then check it out......"

"That's great, please come in with me. The boy smiled again and led Lance inside.

As soon as Lance entered, his surroundings changed and became dark, as if he was shrouded in night.

"What kind of magic is this?"

Standing outside the store, Lance felt that the inside of the store was bright and comfortable, but now his vision suddenly became unclear.

"To use your words, this is called illusion magic. ”

Lance tried to look forward and saw the silhouette of the young man's figure in front of him, so Lance had no choice but to follow the young man and walk slowly over.

"Is this necessary? No wonder there are no guests. ”

"It mainly depends on her mood, which is all made by her. ”

Lance heard the boy smile wryly in front of him, and the boy said that she must be the other owner of this magic shop.

"But if you do that, it's really hard for business to get better. ”

"The purpose of opening this shop is not just to make money, well, let's not talk about it. ”

"Ah...... Hmmm......" Lance began to feel a little puzzled, what is this shop for? Not to make money?

He looked ahead, and suddenly he had a feeling of being deceived and deceived.

"Why do I think I have to walk for a long time, is this shop so big?"

"Because the heart of the customer is spacious, this shop is also spacious, which cannot be seen from the outside. ”

"Well, I think five minutes is up, I just said it's only five minutes, I can go back now. Lance was a little anxious, if he couldn't make it, with Danica's personality, he would definitely get angry if he was late.

"Wait a minute, you won't be able to get out without me taking you, and besides, you're here, so keep going. Ah, I seem to have forgotten to mention that the time in this shop is not the same as outside, and one minute outside is equivalent to ten minutes in this shop, which means that you have 50 minutes to wander around. ”

"Fifty minutes? Are you kidding!!?"

Lance looked shocked, looking at the teenager's gaze as if he were looking at a madman.

"It's a bit hard for the average person to understand something that is out of reality, so let me prove it. Ah, I almost forgot one thing, before I confirmed it, I'll introduce myself, my name is Joan, you probably don't remember, you used to like to call me smile behind your back like they used to. ”

The boy turned his head and continued, and with this action, the surroundings suddenly became brighter, and the dark scene like night instantly turned into an incomparably vast place like a green plain.

"This ...... Is it really ......?"

And Lance also saw the smile on the other party's face at this time when he was full of shock, and at this moment, Lance seemed to remember something, and it seemed like he couldn't remember anything.

"You're always so fast. ”

Then, the true owner of the magic shop came over and appeared in front of Lance.

In Lance's pupils, the other party's appearance was reflected, a reddish-brown haired girl with a single ponytail.

"Long time no see, I wonder if you remember this face?

The girl tilted her head, pointed to her face, and asked the young man rhetorically.

In the New Town Lord's Mansion, when Danica entered the bedroom, she saw the blankets on the floor and the beds, as well as the crowded wardrobes, and even the windowsills, all of which were filled with all kinds of dazzling and gorgeous clothes.

"What are these things!!

In the city lord's bedroom, a girl's roar was heard.

A minute later, the faithful butler, who had hurried to the scene, came to the front and saw the master glaring at him with his clothes, so he hurriedly explained.

"Miss Danica, these clothes are the heart of Her Majesty Christie, she sent someone here last night after you fell asleep, and she didn't come to pack them because there were too many, and you spent the night in your study yesterday. ”

"My room is a mess!!"

"His Majesty Christie said that I hope you can choose a satisfactory dress from here for your own coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"I already have it, I have what my mother left me!"

"Although that dress is very memorable, but, miss, the red dress is too old to be worn on a formal occasion. ”

"Even if it breaks, I love it!"

"It's a pity to tell Miss one thing, I took that dress before dawn, and now I am out to forgive me, Miss Danica, you should not live up to this heart, as your most faithful butler, I really want to see your most beautiful side, and this will not disappoint the lord and lady who have thrown themselves into the arms of the four gods. Even the lord and the lady, they don't want to see you continue to wear a patched garment, no matter how deep the memories and memories are!"

"Miss Danica, if you don't have an idea, let me choose one for you with the professional eye of a noble butler. Dawn picked up the clothes near the door, one by one, and continued, "Miss Danica, which style do you want? Skirt that reaches to your feet is still shorter?What color do you want? This blue one looks elegant, and this purple one is good, but I always think that red is best for Miss Danica, and if Danica wants to change her style, this pink one is pretty good!"

Daun happily recommended his idea to Danica, Danica crossed her hands on her waist, and when she saw the clothes all over the room, she seemed to have lost all her strength, and it was very troublesome to pick them up one by one, and this was still her heart, which was really hard to get angry.

"She brought me clothes every time she came, as if I didn't wear them, even though she meant well......"

While Danica was worn, wrestling and troubled by Dawn's fragmented thoughts, at the gate of Ridimpa, a carriage with an overly ornate and delicate appearance was moving forward, but at the moment before entering, it suddenly stopped.

The man sitting in the carriage opened the curtain on his side and said to the person who happened to pass by.

"Oh, you're here too, have you been walking, do you want a ride?"
