Chapter 58: Dragon City Celebration (1)
"Hmm, didn't you say you were going to the alchemy laboratory?" When he got up in the morning, Alin asked Vino to go to see the celebration parade in the city, but found that Xiaoyu, who said that he was going to the alchemy laboratory yesterday, was also excited to go with them to see the excitement.

"No, I thought about all the alchemy recipes I knew last night, and I didn't have the recipes for the relevant utensils, so I won't waste time. It's better to have a good time while it's okay. By the way, there are many people, let's try to call each other's mercenary nicknames outside in the future!" Xiaoyu didn't hide his attitude of not being able to complete the task at all, so he simply gave up. I thought about the recent eventful season and gave a word of advice.
"......" Alin was speechless, and the three of them didn't say anything more, and quickly went out to see the excitement.
The Dragon City Festival is a celebration to celebrate the dragon's departure from this place and the peace of the people. In the morning, there is a parade of floats prepared by the major shops sponsored by the lord of the city, and in the afternoon, there is a talent show and appearance selection of unmarried men and women in the city, and some men and women who are eligible for the titles of dragon knight and dragon city beauty are selected as candidates. It is said that the man who eventually gets the title of Dragon Knight and the woman who wins the title of Dragon City Beauty will receive a generous prize money and the right to marry autonomously. In the evening, it's a carnival night in the square, with long tables of buffet-like food, a variety of alcoholic beverages, and square dancing with men and women.
The next day is a treasure hunt for all the children in the city, the lord of the city will place Easter eggs in several locations in the city in advance, and then each child can go to the town hall alone or in a team to get the treasure map, and the child with the largest number of Easter eggs or snatching others before dark will win and will receive a generous prize. Of course, in the process of treasure hunting, there will be adults dressed as monsters or evil dragons to attack children, and children must use their own wits to defeat them, and they can also get easter eggs. In the evening, they continue to eat and drink and square dance.
On the morning of the third day, it was the final championship match between the Dragon Knight and the Dragon City Beauty, and the candidates selected on the first day had the ultimate PK to select the final Dragon Knight and Dragon City Beauty. In the afternoon, there is a dim sum contest, where anyone can participate in the competition in the city's main square. Finally, a series of awards such as the Best Appearance Award, the Most Delicious Award, and the Most Ingenious Award will be selected to receive the bonus provided by the City Chamber of Commerce.
The next three days will be a large-scale trade fair. Caravans from all over the world will set up stalls in the open space outside the north gate of the city, local and foreign merchants will trade all kinds of goods or orders, and people from nearby towns and villages will also come to buy items that cannot be bought on a daily basis. The fair will also open up two areas, one is a food area with a variety of cuisines, and the other is a performance area for artists and a children's playground. It is said that the fair is very fun, not only with strange things for sale, but also with delicious food and beautiful performances. Some children insisted that they had seen elves in the performance of the wandering entertainer, and the children around them booed.
"Sounds good!" huddled in the crowd, occupying the best position closest to the road, the three of them eavesdropping on the various discussions around them with great interest.
"Sister Moon, will we also participate in tomorrow's treasure hunt?There is also the dim sum contest the day after tomorrow, will you participate?!Also, let's also go and see the trade fair the day after tomorrow?!" Vino looked at Xiaoyu with bright eyes, and the latter was almost blinded by Minghuang's eyes.
"Yes, you two kids can also participate in the treasure hunt, which is a rehearsal for the trip to the dragon's lair in a few days. Alin laughed, Xiaoyu gave him the feeling of being an adult so much that he always couldn't help but forget that she was just a fifteen-year-old child.
"Roll ......" Xiaoyu gave him a big roll of his eyes, can you not emphasize that she is still underage?! Her mental age is already forty-five years old!
"Is that okay? Sister Moon. Vino didn't give up asking, he really wanted to participate in the celebration!
"Okay, okay, it's rare for you to make requests, it's all up to you. Xiaoyu reluctantly agreed, as she said, Vino has always listened to her, and it is rare for her to take the initiative to ask to participate in the event, she should respond to the request as encouragement. Isn't it just a treasure hunt? Isn't it just an adult pretending to be a monster and scaring a child? Isn't it just a trade fair? What's the big deal, let the horses come and we'll all take it.
"Wow...... The parade of floats has begun!" suddenly burst into a scream from the side, and then erupted into thunderous applause. Then at the end of the road, I saw a square team, carrying some strange musical instruments, playing as they went. Looking at the shape, the sound is probably drums, wind music, strings and other musical instruments, music has no borders, although I can't understand the connotation, but the melody is still very good.
Behind the band's phalanx are performers dressed in flamboyant costumes and masks with strange expressions, doing all sorts of comical and funny moves, presumably clowns from the continent. At children's birthday parties, as long as the family is not particularly poor, the family will invite a clown to help the fun. There are also various party dances, where clowns are invited to liven up the atmosphere and make people laugh. This is a funny artist, or a private job, Xiaoyu said.
Colorful balls floated from behind the clown phalanx, causing the children to scream. I saw that the people in the phalanx were all wearing green robes, and each of them was holding a thread, and at the top of the line was a huge magic ball of different shapes floating with a faint light, similar to the nature of the earth's hydrogen balloon. There are dragons, monsters, humans, castles, and many, many things, and it looks like a phalanx of magic balls that tell the story of the city's history.
Behind the magic ball phalanx is the array of jugglers, and all kinds of artists are doing their best to perform their best skills, just like a walking circus performance, Xiaoyu's comments. Some of these artists are regular actors in the city, and some are wandering artists who come to make money, and the last three days are their home field.
Behind the phalanx of artists is the phalanx of the city guards, handsome guys carefully selected, shiny armor and spears, which look a little sparse. Xiaoyu felt as if she had seen the armor as an ornament in the gloomy castle of Europe.
Behind the City Guard phalanx is the first float, in which eight colorful unicorn deer (*Note) adorned with flowers slowly pull a golden float, on which stands a white-haired old man in full costume waving to the crowd. That's the Lord of Dragon City, Lord Bart. Standing beside him was a beautiful, haughty, bejeweled lady, who was said to be the lady of the lord of the city.
"Old husband and young wife, but it seems that the city lord is in good health, and he can deal with such a young and beautiful lady, he should be a swordsman, right?" Sui Daliu bowed his head slightly and saluted, and Xiaoyu said quietly.
(Note: The unicorn deer is the most commonly used riding beast by ordinary people in the Dutan Empire, similar to the existence of cows and horses)
