CHAPTER XLIV

"This is a celebration of white flowers, an exclusive festival for Gerry, I didn't expect us to catch up with such a grand festival, it's really lucky." Lucy said to Harry.

"A celebration of white flowers?" Harry said confusedly.

"It's a festival to celebrate these beautiful white flowers, if I'm not mistaken, this is a grand festival once every five years, the grandeur is comparable to the imperial capital, our Majesty's birthday celebration, very famous." Lucy said with a smile as she looked at the white flowers on the side of the road outside.

"Oh, I see, no wonder there are so many people." Harry said clearly.

The white flower can be said to be the national flower of the empire, the name of the white flower is Gerry, which means love, the legend says that people who can find a different yellow flower in these white flowers can get the blessing of the god in charge of love, every celebration, His Majesty the King will always come to participate in the celebration, it can be seen that the empire attaches great importance to the white flower, but this time the celebration His Majesty did not come, so the celebration here is not as grand as before, in the past, there was a celebration of His Majesty as the home field, people in order to see His Majesty's face, break the sky to come here, It has long been crowded with people, and it is still less at this time.

After all, people come to this legend with a happy attitude, and who will believe that they can find the blessed yellow flower.

And according to the rumors, His Majesty used to come to this celebration for another purpose, it is said that it was to commemorate a certain woman, I don't know if it is true or not, everyone is bored to talk nonsense, whether it is true or not, what does it matter to them, just to have fun, when the meal after cooking, these are the stories that Lucy told Harry.

"Oops! I forgot to bring the most important thing. Harry suddenly remembered something important that he had forgotten on the ship at the entrance of the village, which was the most cherished thing in her mother's lifetime, and certainly the most important thing for Harry.

"Is this what you said, Harry, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, I was afraid that this flower would rot, so I made it look like this," Kalia in front of the window pulled out a small wooden square box from the pocket of her apron, reached through the window and handed it to Harry.

Kalia got out of the carriage to help with the formalities of entering the city, these things were still necessary in order to enter the city safely, and when she came back, she heard Harry's panicked voice, and she also remembered something she was supposed to do.

"This is..."Harry opened the small box, said with a complicated face, there was a colorless diamond-shaped crystal lying quietly on the blue cloth inside, there was a beautiful yellow flower in full bloom in the crystal, emitting a faint halo that made people blur, giving people the feeling that they could not leave the sight at first sight, and the crystal was wearing a silver delicate hanging chain, like an ornament that could be hung around the neck, a perfect work of art.

"Don't like it? I'm sorry, I took matters into account. Kalia thought Harry didn't like what she was doing, and said apologetically.

"No, I like it very much, thank you, Sister Kalia!" Harry picked up the necklace of the pendant, passed it through his head, and put it around his neck, the diamond-shaped crystal hung from the clothes on his chest, and a faint feeling of coldness was transmitted to Harry's heart through the clothes, which calmed Harry's heart, and said to Kalia with a smile of gratitude.

Kalia smiled reassuringly and returned to the front of the car.

Harry didn't know what Kalia spent in order to preserve this flower, the crystal is a high-level magic stone, containing a reassuring special magic power, which has a great promoting effect on people who practice water magic, even if it is not used to cultivate magic power, it can also play a role in prolonging life, calming the mind, and being able to put items into the magic stone is also a laborious technical job, requiring people to have a high degree of control over magic power, it can be seen that Kalia has put a lot of effort into this matter.

"Wow, what a beautiful yellow flower, it's the first time I've seen it." Sally looked at the crystal on Harry's chest and said enviously.

"Harry, you'd better not expose such a precious thing by the way, or you'll get you in unnecessary trouble, or you'll repeat our mistakes." Lucy said to Harry.

"Well, I know, I won't let it be exposed in front of others, I understand the reason." Harry held the diamond-shaped crystal and put it inside his clothes, and the cold feeling spread more clearly through the skin on his chest to Harry's body.

The flower that this yellow flower was raised by her mother, it was obviously withered at that time, and she originally wanted to pick it off, which was considered a memorial to her mother, but who would have thought that this withered and dead yellow flower had just been picked, held in her hand, and was magically resurrected and restored to its original beautiful blooming state, Harry was shocked in addition to shock, but he didn't tell anyone about it, and felt that this yellow flower should be proof that his mother was still guarding herself, and it was an important thing for herself, and she usually kept it well.

Of course, in order to take good care of this flower, during the few days of living in Hermai Castle at that time, Harry asked Kalia for a small box to keep this yellow flower, and Kalia naturally knew that Harry had this beautiful yellow flower, but he didn't say anything, and helped Harry find a box that was just right to put in.

Originally, Harry had been taking good care of this important box, but since he had Festriaa as his master, every day was a torturous training, and this thing was handed over to Kalia for safekeeping, and every time he finished training, Harry was almost exhausted, and went back to sleep after eating, and put it on Kalia's body, and he didn't have to worry, so as he spent more and more time training, Harry didn't have so much time to think, so he was attracted by the cruel training, Forgot about that important box for the time being.

Fortunately, Sister Kalia took care of her important things for him, otherwise he would definitely not know what to do, and helped himself make a pendant, he already owed Sister Kalia countless personal favors, and there is no chance to repay the favor yet, but in the future, there will definitely be, Harry thought so gratefully in his heart.

Finally, after a while, it was Harry's turn for their carriage, and the knight symbolically glanced at the carriage, said a few things to note, and let Kalia and them enter, and through the deep passage, they came into the town, which was crowded with people, and the road was full of people, shouting, laughing, and talking, and the carriage could not move an inch.

Fortunately, it was still possible to move forward, and the carriage passed through the crowd, and finally came to a hotel with great effort, but the reply was that it was full, and there were many others, all of which were the same answer, and it was useless to pay many times the price, and it seemed that they were going to sleep in the rhythm of the street.

However, fortunately, I still found a place to live, although it was a little shabby, and it was located in the corner of the alley without being conspicuous, looking weird-looking hotel, above the door, half of the wooden shop sign that had fallen off because of decay, vaguely written with this word, a hotel that could live, looking at the name, Sally looked like she wanted to complain, it was really a strange store name.

Kalia didn't mind staying in this hotel, just for one night, no big deal, and took Harry and they pushed open the door and walked in, it was dark inside, there were no windows, the floor and many tables were covered with dust, it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time, the paid counter was covered with cobwebs, and there was no one.

Just when they thought they were going to be in vain, the sound of the door opening was heard, and a light came on in the dark room, and an old woman with a hunched waist walked slowly through the door with an oil lamp on crutches and came to Harry and them.

"I'm sorry, but the inn hasn't been open for a long time, and it's closed to guests." The old woman glanced at Harry and said kindly.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but there is no place to live outside, so you can be accommodating, accommodating, and you can pay as many times the price." Kalia came to the grandmother and said politely.

"Little girl, I'm not worried about the price, it's just that the upstairs room has been unoccupied for a long time, I'm afraid it's very messy." The old grandmother said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, you can leave the packing up to us, don't worry." Kalia said reassuringly.

"Okay then, I'm really bothering you." The old woman said apologetically, then went back to one of her rooms and closed the door.

What a strange old woman, Harry, they all thought about how to live in such a broken place, but also think about it, no one wants to sleep on the street, everyone walked down the creaking stairs, people have a feeling that they are about to collapse, carefully walked up, each chose their own room, sure enough, as the old woman said, it was really messy and dirty, dust, cobwebs and everything, just opened the door was a burst of dust, Harry sneezed helplessly several times.

Well, the room is also quite large, with two people's beds, and windows, in desperation, everyone can't choose the room freely, just tidying up a room is tired to death, not to mention so many people, Harry in order to reduce the difficulty of cleaning up for Kalia, let everyone choose a total of three rooms, Harry and Monshent sleep in a room, there are two beds in it, enough, at first Monshant refused, but looking at Harry's expression, he could only reluctantly accept it. Sally and the others lived in a large room with six beds, which looked like it was specially designed for them as the adventuring party, and Kalia lived in the single room opposite Harry's room.

Kalia didn't know where to find a push tool, according to her, it was found in the corner below the stairs on the first floor, two brooms were given to Harry and Monshint, and the two of them were asked to sweep the dusty floor on the first floor and take charge of the stairs, Sally and the women each had a steel bucket and rag, and the sturdy Kai was holding a dry, rotten mop with exploding flowers, and everyone was ordered by Kalia to deal with the downstairs, and she herself to handle the chosen room here.

So, the cleaning began, the first floor was dim and dark, so the tallest Kai stepped on the stool and lit the old-fashioned oil lamp hanging on the ceiling in turn, fortunately, it could be lit, and suddenly it was a lot brighter, and everyone was not so troublesome to clean, Harry and Monshant were each responsible for the area of the floor on the other side, and cleaned it carefully, but it swept up a pile of choking dust, and a bunch of problems came out, Sally ran out of the kitchen with a sad face and said, there was no water in it at all, how to eat, and to take a shower, how to mop the floor, but also to wipe the dust on these tables are important questions.

Harry suddenly remembered that wouldn't Monshant turn into ice, and it shouldn't be very difficult for him to turn water out, but Monshant said that he was specialized in ice magic, not water magic, so I'm sorry, who said that it would turn into ice, it would turn into water, everyone has a different specialization field, and they are not all-powerful perverts.

Hearing him say this, Harry felt as if he was the almighty pervert, this thought was thrown aside first, the business mattered, what kind of method can turn into water, the magic he learned did not turn into water out of thin air, except for the cryomagic that can be turned into ice, conjure ice? Wait, isn't ice just water again?! That's right! Ice can turn into water as long as it is heated, how can I lose the chemistry knowledge I have learned before, don't I happen to have fire-based magic myself, I'm so stupid, Harry patted his little head and thought.

The next thing was much easier, Harry borrowed her dead branch from Sally, which Sally had bought at the price of second-hand goods, alas, there was no way, the good things were stolen, and she had to use it a little bit.

Harry called Monshent and asked him to put the ice into these small buckets, although Monshent looked inexplicable, but he still obediently did as Harry said, made many ice picks out of thin air and gently put them into the keg, Harry lifted the bucket full of ice cubes, smiled slightly, recited the spell that he hadn't read for a long time, waved the dead branches, and stretched the improved version of the fire technique, and the dead branches directly came out of a bunch of rising flames, Harry controlled the injection of magic power, so that the flame state on the dead branches remained at a certain level, Then he put the flaming dead branch under the bucket, and suddenly increased the injection of mana, and the flames suddenly became larger, Harry's eyes stared intently at the flames, and then the churning flames obediently surrounded the steel bucket, and soon the ice slowly melted into the bucket in a visible state, turning into warm water.

Harry handed Sally the bucket with warm water and said in a friendly way, "Be careful, don't touch the outside, or it'll be hot." ”

"Harry, your magic has really improved a lot." Sally took the pail handed over by Harry with trembling hands and said in a daze, in her impression, Harry should have been a child who didn't know anything at that time, in fact, he was not quite optimistic about Harry, after all, how could he easily learn it by relying on a person and a notebook, but the fact is in front of him, Harry has not only learned magic, but also controlled the injection of magic so skillfully, and he has not yet fully controlled it, this is not ordinary fast, genius.

And the little blonde boy wearing a gray hat next to Harry, not to mention, actually controlled the highest level of magic chanting in magic, silent chanting, that's not everyone wants to learn it, it takes a very high degree of magic comprehension to be able to comprehend, if you learn this, it means that you can release magic immediately, you don't need to recite that kind of complicated spells, just think about it, when a real mobile repeating turret, not limited by magic spells and spell casting conditions, It means that as long as you have enough magic, you can be a magician who combines offense and defense, can defend and fight, or the kind that comes out when you think about it, the realm that countless magicians crave, since it appears in a child's body, it is not an exaggeration to call him a perverted genius.

In just a moment, Sally received a psychological blow of 100,000 points, these two damn magic geniuses, why is their luck so good, they met two geniuses at once, although they have encountered it in the academy before, and they didn't care much, but there were two geniuses standing alive in front of them, and the blow was naturally needless to say, the magic that she had learned for so many years had gone there, and she really wanted to die, at this time Sally's heart was in tears, not so shocking.

Harry and Monshint just looked at Sally strangely, they couldn't figure out how Sally looked at them, and they had better do their jobs.

In this way, the problem of water was solved, and Kalia also came down from the upper floor, because she was also worried about water, but fortunately, Harry and Monshint were professionals in the production of water, and the two of them diligently repeated the action just now, pouring ice, setting fire, and a bucket of water was ready.

I don't know how long it has been, it's already dark outside, but it's becoming more lively, and then they finally cleaned up, all the tables on the first floor, including the stools, have been polished brightly, the dust on the floor has been mopped clean, the cobwebs in the corners of the walls are gone, the counters are tidy up, the kitchen at the back is also tidy, Kalia also walked down from the upstairs, indicating that it was also cleaned up, everyone was tired lying on the table, and a finger couldn't lift up, Harry and Monshint couldn't remember how many times they had used magic or how many times they had swept the floor, but they knew they were tired and hungry.

Kalia looked at the tired people lying on the table, smiled slightly, walked to the carriage parked outside the hotel, didn't know what to do, and walked in, there was a sound of tinkering in the kitchen, but everyone didn't have the energy to pay attention to this, this is the feeling of being hollowed out.
