The frost festival is approaching, the streets begin to have the atmosphere before the carnival begins, all kinds of exquisite decorations are sold in the storefronts, the golden ears of wheat symbolizing the harvest are hung in front of the houses, even if it is a prayer for next year, there will be such a good harvest next year, the streets are lit up, it is clear that there is still a day or two before the festival, and now there is an atmosphere of carnival on the street.

The festival of celebrating the harvest used to require a good harvest, but now it is just a custom to celebrate when the time comes, and the fact that Oslin has a well-developed fishing industry, a large area of fertile land outside the city, and a close place to a water source, can be said to be a city rich in bounty, which is why it was able to recover from the war to its current prosperity in just a few years.

Therefore, whether it is a good harvest or not, it will not hinder the holding of the frost festival.

Of course, in order to maintain order, the patrol team has also stepped up patrols in the city, so as to prevent those thieves and thieves from passing by the festival, and it is their duty to protect ordinary citizens from being discouraged by these pests during the festival.

And these days, these conscientious satellite TV also found that there are many Portia people who are also involved in the maintenance of street security, Zhejiang and Western people are from the old streets, sometimes there are some thefts and robberies, these people will be faster than the arrival of the guards, and later these guards know that these people are the rebels who have fought with them, but after the agreement not long ago, these people are deployed by Augustus during this holiday time.

Although they do things that are taken for granted, the long-term struggle and hatred in various senses make the two groups of people not give each other a good look at each other at all.

So there is often such a scene in the street, something happens on the street, the patrol passing by or the rebels who arrive first go to deal with it, and the group of people who arrive late do not leave, they just scatter and watch, and when everything is cleaned up, the two groups of people look at each other, and then turn around and leave.

This awkward and delicate atmosphere has always existed between the two teams, and even passers-by can feel the strange atmosphere in it.

For Zhou Lielai, who knows the truth, this is a very interesting scenery, speaking of which two people who were originally hated suddenly began to coexist in harmony, it seems that half of it is their own reason, if Frem is sent to the rebels and obtained by one of them, it is estimated that the two sides will go to war with all their might, if they return to the hands of the empire, I am afraid that the two sides will continue to be so opposed.

"Tomorrow the festival begins. Walking on the street, Zhou Lie looked at the surrounding scenery and sighed again, this level of liveliness was not much better than that of King Xia's New Year, and he picked out a few small gifts from the street vendors and prepared to give them to Ania and them.

"By the way, you should also have a holiday for these two days, so you don't have to follow me every day. Zhou Lie waved his hand and said to the two servants who followed him, "You have been following me, and my friends can't have fun, so you can enjoy the festival for the past two days." ”

Every year, Zhou Lie would tell them this, so the two loyal servants were very accustomed to it, and when they answered yes, they followed unhurriedly.

This scene is also very familiar to Zhou Lie, but even after living here for nearly three years, Zhou Lie still has a sense of alienation from this city, especially during this kind of festival, Zhou Lie will miss his hometown and his mother.

"Huh" Seeing a familiar puff of short blue hair flashing in front of his eyes, Zhou Lie was a little puzzled, rubbed his eyes and found that the other party was indeed with the group of guards, and it seemed that he was patrolling.

The blue-haired girl was none other than Layla, who had not been seen for the first time in two months, this lively and lovely girl Magister in Zhou Lie's impression, who was patrolling the street with the guards with a blank face at the moment.

When Zhou Lie saw Layla, his first reaction was a little complicated, after all, he injured her teacher, and now Zhou Lie still felt a little guilty about Layla.

And Layla also noticed that Zhou Lie, a smile appeared on her originally expressionless face.

"Yo. Zhou Lie waved his hand and greeted Layla in the distance.

Seeing Zhou Lie's actions, Layla also waved her hand, then said a few words to the guards beside her, and ran all the way to Zhou Lie.

Seeing Layla's innocent smile again, Zhou Lie could hardly imagine that he was bruised by Layla's magic at that time, and he could only use the explosion to cover his escape.

"Why are you following the patrol?" Zhou Lie asked knowingly.

"Two months ago, my master took me on a mission and was wounded by a magician who used fire, and I was helping the patrol capture the man. Layla said truthfully, "Of course, my master is now well, and he will take me to your classmate's dinner tomorrow, will you be there then?" ”

Zhou Lie shook his head with a smile and said, "No, tomorrow night I will go to the bonfire party in the square with my friends from the student union, so it will be more lively." ”

"I've heard of bonfires, where a lot of people are said to be dancing and singing around the square, but I've never seen anything like that. When Layla heard the word bonfire, her eyes were like stars, "However, my master and I are going to Stella's dinner, so we may not be able to go." ”

"You can come with Stella then. Zhou Lie said, "Actually, Stella is also distressed that she can't come to the bonfire, because she has invited you to their house before we decided on this event, so as the inviter, she can't leave the mansion to come to us as she pleases, but if you, as a guest, ask to come to the bonfire, Stella also has a reason to bring you along." ”

"In other words, if I convince the master, then I can join you at the bonfire tomorrow night, and we can also dance hand in hand around the bonfire?" said Layla excitedly.

Zhou Lie nodded, "That's right." ”

"Great, I'll go back and talk to the teacher about it after my patrol. Layla cheered,

When Zhou Lie saw Layla, he realized that as long as he could convince the girl, then the possibility of Stella attending the bonfire with everyone tomorrow night would be much higher.

Layla smiled and waved goodbye to Zhou Lie, and continued to patrol the streets with the patrol team, her face was not as expressionless as at the beginning, and finally she had a smile.

Zhou Lie couldn't help but think of this question, and then as if to reassure himself, Zhou Lie shook his head a few times to dispel this thought, he just told the truth, and for Layla, Zhou Lie actually had a good impression in his heart, and only hoped that the other party would never discover his little secret.

The girl who went away didn't know that she was actually calculated by Zhou Lie, in fact, even if she knew, Layla wouldn't mind, because she originally wanted to go to the bonfire party, but she habitually regarded the two things of going to the banquet and going to the bonfire party as two conflicting things, and she would thank Zhou Lie for Zhou Lie's reminder.

Although there is no longer a need to make a tall statue of the god of light, there is still a procession, and the circus people will be invited to perform and parade at the same time, and there will not be only one procession, a total of five teams will start from the central square at the same time, go through a specific route and then go back to the central square, to ensure that the joyful atmosphere of the festival can be transmitted to the whole city.

And in order to control a parade of this scale, the pressure of dispatching resources fell on the consuls, and this time the old street will also be included in the parade route - in the past, in order to reduce trouble, it was avoided, although there were Fox's people as a guarantee, Augustus was still a little unsettled, and looked at the plan and road map several times before finally signing it.

"The Frost Festival is coming. Fawkes sat on the roof with his long legs dangling out, and next to him sat Aiden and Lian, both of whom were swaying their legs like Fawkes.

"We left after the New Year. Fox said, "Until then, help the rest of the people find a way out." ”

"Your Highness, are we just giving up?" Aiden's tone revealed unwillingness, "If it's because of my mistake, please punish me, I'm sure that the Portians in the city don't want His Highness to leave." ”

Fawkes shook his head and said, "I'm just tired, and when I'm in the palace, you should know that I'm not such a person, and I really, really don't want to see anyone die again." Fox looked up at the sky, stretched out his right hand, and made a fist gesture.

"What do you think I've caught?" Fox asked.

Aiden shook his head blankly.

"You don't want to say it's the future, hope, or something, do you?" said Lian.

"It's such an ethereal thing. Fawkes smiled, "It's my own ideal, since I was a child, I have longed for the princes charming in the story, why they always pick up the princess when they pass by on white horses, why can they leave the castle alone." ”

"Recently, I suddenly figured out this problem, because those princes charming are not bound by those rules and regulations, so they can ride their beloved white horses, leave their own kingdom alone, and embark on a journey, and at this moment I don't even have a country, and I have to carry an impossible expectation, it is really laughing to death, my hundred years of life have passed twenty years, and the next eighty years I will live for myself, I will ride a white horse in a forest to pick up a stunning princess, and then take her to stand on the highest mountain to show her the world, and then ask her if she is willing to leave her country and travel with me。 ”

Fox smiled, basking in his own fantasies about the future.

"Sounds good. Lian chuckled.

Aiden sighed as if he had given up, and then knelt down on the side and said, "I am your knight, since Your Highness has decided, then I will follow Your Highness to the end." ”

Fawkes nodded, pointed into the distance, and said, "Finish the last work, let the Portians in this city be treated fairly in the true sense of the word, so that I can go on the road without regrets." ”
