At some point, Locke fell asleep on a wooden chair on the harbor observation deck. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Behind him, one of the guards guarding his safety spoke with a few of his companions before stepping down from the observation deck. When he came up again, he had a thick blanket in his hand, which was over Locke's body.

Under the observation deck, in this large area of the sea, in addition to the soldiers who maintained order, the civilians who had been busy for half the night rested.

In the silver pine forest, a large number of civilians came out of the simple tents, and they yawned and took over the work of the resting people, and a new round of busyness began.

Shiloh rubbed her eyes and yawned as she walked up the stairs of the wooden observation deck, a stack of papers in her hand.

When she came up, she found Locke lying asleep in a chair.

The guards behind Locke shook their heads at Shiloh, who walked up softly, walked up to Locke, placed the stack of parchment in her hand on the table, and then turned and stepped down from the observation deck.

On the sea, the number of ships waiting to be unloaded has been reduced by half.

When Locke opened his eyes again, it was already dark. He yawned and rubbed his neck, it was really uncomfortable to sleep in a chair and wear armor that night.

He stood up and looked at the sea, throwing the thick towel from his body on the chair behind him.

On the sea, there are only a few dozen ships waiting in line to unload, and it is expected that they will be unloaded this morning.

Locke shook his head and turned to look down, when he saw the stack of parchment on the table, which he picked up and looked through.

These parchments are all lists of goods that have been deposited in the warehouse.

Locke looked at the time, it was about 2 o'clock last night.

He handed the stack of parchment to the guards and turned to descend from the observation deck.

"Hello, lord!"

"Your Excellency, your morning!"

The busy civilians along the way saluted Locke respectfully, and Locke responded with a smile one by one.

Walking around the small harbor, Locke soon spotted Shiloh.

The latter is still talking to Zax's goblins, comparing the goods.

This inspector who doesn't hold himself back, his eyes will be red, but the whole person is very energetic. Maybe it's because she's been a logistics officer for too long, and she's now very concerned about logistics supplies.

It is also possible that some time ago, the pressure of the lives of civilians oppressed her.

"Shiloh, how's it going?" Locke asked as he walked over and looked at her. "Go get some rest, you've been busy all night!"

"No, no, no! Legion Commander! Shiloh said excitedly, "I've never been so energetic, right now!" We're done with our goods. At that time, I went to rest again. ”

"Okay?" Locke asked, looking at her eyes redder than rabbit eyes and her slightly haggard face.

"Well, where are Paul, Fran, and Bridget?" Locke turned his head to look at the harbor.

"I let them all go to rest. They hadn't slept last night, and they had been staring at it until dawn. Shiloh took the parchment in his hand and looked at the goods passing in front of him.

"Okay, go get busy!"

"Yes! Legion Commander! Shiloh said happily, turning her head to keep up with the goblin who had already walked away in front of her, and then she suddenly turned her head to look at Locke and said with a smile, "Captain, this new armor on your body is so cool!" ”

Right? Ha ha.

But Shiloh's subsequent words stunned him.

"It's the first time I've seen a man in a skirt, haha"

“......”

What's so bad about men wearing skirt armor?

Locke was speechless about this.

Towards noon, all the cargo of all the merchant ships was put into the warehouse.

Except for a few large merchant ships on the sea, all the other ships left with the escort of the Blackwater pirates.

In this transaction, Locke gave the goblins a total of 20,000 gold coins.

The money does not include the benefit fee given to Zax alone. Of the 20,000 gold coins, the goblin took out some of it as the pirates' hard work, and put the rest in his magic backpack, as for how much gold he gave to the Trade Prince, it was not Locke's concern.

Leave Wing C at the docks to defend the supplies in the warehouse. All the recruits and civilians are starting to return to the town of Iva and tonight is the Winter Veil Festival, and everyone wants to be a little happy today.

Especially this time, they also brought a large number of various daily necessities to Eva.

Locke handed over the goods to Shiloh, some of them were stored in Ivar's warehouse, and some of them were distributed to the civilians. So that they can have a good holiday today.

※※※

The sky gradually darkened, and colorful fireworks began to appear one after another in all corners of Iva Town. Civilians happily lit fireworks in front of their homes to celebrate another year of Winter Veil.

"You tell me honestly!"

Outside the town hall, Bridget was tugging at Locke's armor and wouldn't let go.

"Where did you get this Judgment Armor?!"

In the face of Bridget's tugging, Locke was at the gate of the town hall, under a huge winter curtain tree, and hung the winter curtain candy, beer, and food he had purchased before.

The tree was cut down by previous soldiers, and they filled it with ribbons as a sign of festivities.

As a result, Zacks, the goblin, saw it and was unimpressed, and he commanded the other goblins in the goblin camp to take out a string of colorful lanterns from their camp and hang them on the trees, and then brought out an engineered generator and connected the lamp wires to the generator.

The generator started with a "click" sound, and soon the colored lights on the trees began to glow brightly and darkly.

In an instant, the town hall became the center of attention of the citizens.

When the citizens returned to their homes, Locke came out and hung gifts on the trees.

These sweets and other foods will be used as gifts for the citizens of Iva Town.

"Alright, don't drag it." Locke said to Bridget, who had been asking the question, "I'll tell you when the Winter Veil is over." Now, let's go in and get all the soldiers who aren't on their worth to come over and put these food and candy in these boxes. ”

"Are you sure you'll tell me after the Winter Veil?" Bridget looked at him in disbelief.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you tomorrow morning." Locke nodded.

While the rest of the townsfolk had returned home for dinner, Locke beckoned all the guards who were not on duty to pack the candy and other food that Bridget had purchased earlier into a gift box and tied it with streamers.

"I haven't had a Winter Veil like this in years." Brigitte happily packed the purchased cheese rings and lollipops into the gift box.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't put wine in it! One of the guards stopped his companion and said, "Just put those jerky, ham, cheese, gingerbread candies in there!" Or, what do we drink! ”

"I agree!" Locke said with a smile. "Leave this wine in the storehouse over there, and if you have time, you can drink a little if you don't have a duty job. But don't let anyone else see it! ”

"Wow! Legion Commander! You're so good! I love you so much! The soldier exaggerated his hand and gave a flying kiss.

Now, most of the non-commissioned officers of the Guards Company are familiar with Locke, and when there are no outsiders, they occasionally joke with Locke.

"Oh, that's terrible!" Locke smiled and said, "If your co-captain Norris comes back, it may make you stand on the post for a few days in a row." ”

There was a low laugh from the soldiers in the room.

Only Bridget didn't smile, she kept her head down and didn't know what she was thinking.

Soon boxes were piled up in the hall.

"Legion Commander! There are no gift boxes anymore. The guard who delivered the box walked out of the next room empty-handed.

"Oh?" Locke turned his head to look at the box in the room, and then at the pile of food and candy on the floor, and had to stop his movements helplessly.

"Alright! Stack all of these boxes outside under the Winter Veil Tree, and you arrange for two people to watch below, and only allow one per civilian to take it. The non-commissioned officers nodded in agreement, and the gift boxes were placed one by one under the winter curtain tree outside.

"It's weird! Why does it snow every year during the Winter Veil Festival? A non-commissioned officer walked in from the outside, muttering. A thin layer of snowflakes fell on his shoulders.

"It's snowing again?" Locke asked.

"Yes, Captain, this will already cover the ground, I didn't expect it to fall so quickly." The non-commissioned officer muttered to himself, "Is it really Grandpa Winter who is here?" My grandfather said that it would only snow when my grandfather came in winter. This is also the reason why it snows every year during the Winter Veil Festival. ”

"Hey! Locke! ”

The voice of Goblin Baron Zax came from outside, and it didn't take long for the little guy to rush today.

He was still wearing the sumptuous black tuxedo, but with a thick white animal fur cape over it.

"Let's go! Come out with me to see the fireworks! Zax rubbed his nose with his hand, "Our goblins' fireworks!" More than 100 fireworks can be fired in a row! The colors are not repeated! Let's go! ”

In the small officialdom outside, several goblins were placing several honeycomb-like launchers on the ground. The transmitters are all facing the sky, with a long wire underneath, linked to the generator.

"Hey! Ready! Zax yelled at the goblins, "Our guest has arrived!" ”

"That's it! Head! Right away. A goblin turned his head.

Soon, several of the other goblins turned and ran away, leaving only one goblin there for a while, and then he also left there, pressing the remote control in his hand.

Colorful fireworks erupted from the five launchers, and they let out a terrible whistling sound and flew into the sky of the square.

The children of the town were laughing and joking, flocking here from afar, watching around the fireworks launchers, and their mouths were constantly making sounds of surprise.

In the sky, red, green, blue, and purple flowers are constantly blooming, resounding throughout the sky.

In the new year, I hope I can make my wishes come true. Locke looked up at the colorful fireworks and said silently in his heart.

"Locke! I wish you all the best in the new year! With the crackle of fireworks, Bridget turned to Locke and shouted.

"I'll make it happen for you!" Bridget laughed with her mouth open and shouted at the top of her voice.

Locke couldn't help but laugh as he looked at her excitedly.

Thank you.
