This year's Chinese New Year's Eve in Krasbourg saw two new celebrations. The first is that the long-cherished wish of the capital's inhabitants has finally come true - Krasbourg is about to have a lost lock!

The Capital Locks project was also undertaken by the Beacon Hill team, following the successful "franchise" model on Koras Island and Silver Sky. In order to add a festive atmosphere to this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the Capital Mystery Service Company specially set the launch time of the "Krasbourg Lock" at midnight in 1625. When the bell rings, the whole city will witness the spectacular scene of the rise of the locks and witness this historic moment.

While waiting for the lockdown to kick in, the people of Krasbourg have another recreational activity, which is to watch the fireworks. From Independence Avenue to Financial Street, fireworks are set off in almost all public squares, bursts of colorful light and flames soar into the sky, and some are accompanied by magical sound and light effects, and the fireworks are accompanied by melodious bells and even the solemn national anthem, attracting countless tourists to watch and see. However, no one imagined that in this night sky of fireworks and flowers, thousands of feet away from the street under people's feet, a steel fortress was suspended at this moment, like a huge eye full of malice, quietly overlooking this city full of laughter.

……

Boom! A cluster of ceremonial flowers bloomed in the night sky, and the brilliant light and rain slowly spread out, forming a huge ball of roses. By the fountain pool in the Municipal Square, a red-robed mage lady looked up at the night sky, clasped her hands together and silently made a wish.

After making a wish, Nikita took out her magic guide and sent a letter to Roland, asking him if he could spare an hour to walk around the streets with him and enjoy the fireworks until the moment the New Year's bell rang.

Roland quickly sent a reply, and Nikita grinned as she gripped the ball of light.

"It's a great day! It's not in vain that I made such a serious wish just now, and it really came true! ”

On this festive night, plus the beautiful woman had an appointment, Roland didn't have much smile on her face, which made Nikita a little unhappy, and asked thoughtfully, "Are you busy?" Someone else to keep you company? If I had known that, I wouldn't have sent you a letter. ”

Roland couldn't guess her little thoughts, and shook her head with a smile: "There is nothing to be busy on Chinese New Year's Eve, but I just learned two not very good news, and I feel a little uneasy in my heart." ”

"What's the news, is it convenient to reveal?" Nikita asked curiously.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, let's talk as we go." Roland took Miss Mage's soft little hand and found a direction with relatively sparse crowds, along the cement road illuminated by the magic street lamp, to the small snow-covered pine forest in the corner park.

"Aunt Genia has not been in good spirits lately, according to her, occasionally at night in the cloisters of the palace or other dark corners to see a flash of ghostly apparitions, frightened her unable to sleep, my father had to stay by her bedside, dare not close his eyes all night, to comfort her to sleep, if she is too busy with official business to stay with her all night, Mira has to take care of her mother all night, when Aunt Genia wakes up from a nightmare, it always takes a lot of trouble to convince her that there are no ghosts in the bedroom, It was purely a psychological effect on her, and this had been going on for a week, and not a single ghost had been caught, but it had made my father and Mira very tired. ”

"There are ghosts haunting the court of the kingdom of Kolas? It's a great tabloid subject! Nikita couldn't help laughing, and then realized that her reaction was schadenfreude, and barely held back her laughter, and said to Roland: "I heard that pregnant women are under a lot of mental pressure, and it is normal for them to hallucinate occasionally, and there is nothing good to do except be more patient with Her Majesty the Queen...... Oh yes! An idea came to me! ”

"Look at your eyebrows fluttering, your eyes are shining, you must have thought of some bad idea again." Roland didn't dare to expect much from Miss Mage's whims.

"It's definitely not a bad idea this time!" Nikita was so angry that she punched her boyfriend and said excitedly, "I know a master who is good at dealing with ghosts, and I can ask her to appease the queen!" ”

"Please, there are priests in Krasbourg, and I am not modest to say that I myself am a master of exorcising the undead, and even I can't find any ghosts, I don't believe you can hire an exorcist who is more skilled than me." Roland said smugly.

"You don't understand that! It is true that if an undead ghost escapes in a grand manner, you clergy have many ways to deal with it, but don't forget, the ghost of the void is the best at hiding its tracks, and there is nowhere to find it, unless the other party actively appears, it will be difficult for even you clergy to find its hiding place. ”

"There's some truth to that, but how can you find that ghost?" Roland asked suspiciously.

Nikita puffed up her bosom chest and smiled proudly, "It's not easy to find a ghost in the vast palace complex full of pavilions, unless you know the ghosts very well, or you are simply a ghost yourself!" ”

"But you're not a ghost......" Roland suddenly thought of someone, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "You mean your mother, Lady Anna?" ”

Nikita smiled and nodded: "My mother is a ghost, no one knows the movements and breath of the same kind better than her, as long as you invite her to come to the palace to walk around, you will know whether there are ghosts or not." ”

"It's a good idea, others say that there are no ghosts in the palace at all, Aunt Genia is at most skeptical, and she still can't let go of it, so ask Lady Anna to come and calm Aunt Genia as a ghost to relax her nerves, don't scare herself, it's obviously more convincing." The more Roland thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible.

"It's too late tonight, wait for tomorrow, I'll write to ask my mother to come over." Nikita glanced up at the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky, snuggled up in Roland's arm, and asked softly, "Now that we have solved a problem, what is the other problem?" ”

"It's a strange letter." Roland replied slowly, his face becoming extremely solemn.

Nikita nodded thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who wrote must be a beautiful lady. ”

Roland touched his cheek awkwardly and replied with a wry smile: "It's indeed a lady, but it's far less beautiful and cute than you, and this person and I are only general acquaintances." ”

"Oh? Then I am even more curious why this lady who is a general friend writes to you on Chinese New Year's Eve and bothers you. Nikita asked with interest.
