Chapter 15: Miracle Day
There was a banging knock on the door, and Felder rolled over, covered his head under the quilt and went back to sleep. Vane wanted to Ferde too, but the knock on the door kept him awake, and he sat up from the bed, his hands propped on the edge of the bed, his head still a little dizzy. Who's knocking on the door early in the morning.
"Vane!" Eth's voice came in. Vane stood up and straightened his clothes and opened the door.
"Vane, I'm sorry to disturb you, but do you know what day it is? Obohar's Miracle Day!" Ise looked at him with wide eyes, gesturing with her hands and feet.
"What anniversary?" Vane stood with a blank expression. It's too much to disturb someone else's rest because of an anniversary, Vane complained in his heart.
"Obojar's Miracle Day!" Ise repeated, looking a little angry. After two years of classes at the Obojar Academy of Magic and Wizardry, she didn't know about Miracle Day, and wondered if Vane was amusing her. Ise didn't think about it, in fact, Vane was not a local, and this time of year was the holiday of the Academy of Magic, and it was not surprising that he stayed in the library and laboratory every day to study magic.
"Anyway, there will be a lot of great people coming to the Miracle Square to commemorate the performance. There are the dwarves of Thorsen, the elves of the eastern forest, and the archmages of the Floating City,......" Ace added.
"What, Floating City?" Vane suddenly sobered up a lot. "There's a magician show from the Floating City?"
"It was like that before. Will you go or not? Elena and Simpson will go too. ”
"Wait a minute. Vane slammed the door shut, quickly changed his clothes, and tossed Felder by the way.
Downstairs, Elena and Simpson were already standing in the doorway waiting for them, and Brad didn't know where to go, but no one cared.
The annual Miracle Day is a festival unique to the city of Obojar and one of the most famous festivals in the Kingdom of Beseka, commemorating the founding of the "Forest City" of Obojar in the twelfth year of the Age of Magic. It is an architectural marvel to build such a city on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest, when the continent of Lafrey was in ruins, and the elves who were the aborigines of the Abbrey gave great help to the humans of Obojar, and they used ancient elven spells to turn the trees of the forest into treants and migrate to other places, thus carving out large clearing areas in the forest, the name Obojar means forest boat in the elven language.
Walking on the street, I obviously felt that there were a lot more people than usual, and the noise was endless. As a native of Obojar, Ise naturally took on the task of explaining the anniversary. Except for Elena, the others had never heard of Miracle Day, and they kept chasing after Ace.
About an hour later, several people arrived at Miracle Square, located in the center of the city. The open square was crowded with people, and at intervals there would be a circle of people who didn't know what they were looking at, applauding or applauding from time to time.
"That's a lot of people!" Felder exclaimed. In the angry eyes of others, several people squeezed into the crowd closest to them, and the people who were squeezed behind looked up at Simpson, and they dared not speak angrily.
In a clearing surrounded by the crowd, a short man with pale blue skin was talking loudly. He looks lower than a dwarf, with a thin but passionate build.
"Hello citizens of Obohar, as I was introduced, I am a goblin inventor from the Magic Kingdom of Divosk. I have a shop called Flying Dreamer in Montdia, the capital of Dvosk, welcome everyone!" the goblin raised his chin slightly, full of energy.
"If the invention just now doesn't satisfy you, then the next few latest flying machines will definitely be an eye-opener for you!" he said, pulling out a wing-like object from a large package next to him.
"Look, these are bat wings, they can help you fulfill your dream of flying!" he said, spreading the wings, which looked more than two meters wide. "The skeleton is made of the latest alloy material, and the wing surface is made of leather made of imitation bat wings. It is very lightweight, guaranteeing no excess weight. ”
"And how do you use this bat wing?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Ah, it's very simple, you just have to put it on and run forward. As long as you run fast enough, you can fly, and of course if you can keep your wings vibrating at fifty vibrations per second, you can keep flying!"
"That's really practical...... Vane was dumbfounded, it seemed that this Miracle Day was not only a show, but also some strange commercial activities.
"Ah, dear friends, there may be some who feel that they are not strong enough to use this bat wing. He paused. "So I'm going to introduce you to an improved version of it, the Magic Power Bat Wings. This bat wing is made entirely of alloy, so you don't have to worry about your wings being cut by a branch. It has a small, simplified version of the Magical Conductor mounted underneath and behind its wings, making it much cheaper to build if it can be powered by magical energy. Sure, once in a while, it stops working, but that's okay, it's completely repairable!Believe me, you just need to have some flying skills and enough courage to take it to the sky!"
However, no one spoke, and everyone looked at the little blue-skinned man like an idiot.
"Ah, that's okay, I have a new invention that you're going to love it. He pulled out another thing, a propeller with two large long metal blades and a helmet attached to it. "It's called a head-mounted spiral flying machine, it's simple in structure, and you don't need to run to help you run, and the propellers are driven by a magic energy guide. Of course, the side effect is that it may take you breathless, or unintentionally break a few fingers, but what does that compare to fulfilling your dream of flying?" the goblin held the helmet, looking confident in his invention.
Vane had completely lost interest in listening, but Felder listened with relish, and it seemed that there was still a possibility of buying him, if he had the money. After a short discussion, everyone decided to split up to watch the performance they were interested in.
Vane walked alone with the flow of people, and he was still thinking about the magician from the Floating City. The magician from the Floating City probably knew about his uncle, who had been there for a while.
"It looks like there's a magician performing over there, let's go over and have a look." A couple of young men walked past Vane as he spoke, and he followed quickly.
