Section E, Chapter 26: The Frost Festival (Deerno, Lusa)
Despite being an important introducer, the referral process was quickly over. After that, he and the others avoided it for a while, leaving Mace, his bodyguard, Elton, Lady Elena, and Curator Leo in the city lord's study.
Eders was obviously very happy about Deerno's return, and after excitedly taking him back to the office of the captain of the capital garrison, he praised him a lot, and complained that Deerno was not there these days, and the work of the adjutant was all on his head, which was really tiring.
Is that why the captain has become more clumsy...... Deerno thought to himself, not daring to speak.
Remembering the memory of the soul-like chill that drilled into Eders' mouth, Derno, although he was happy to be reunited when facing the captain, was more or less restrained and extremely concerned.
He believed Beverly's analysis, and in his heart he decided that the spirit didn't seem to be anything harmful. However, after actually coming face to face with Edus, there is always a feeling of unpleasantness of being spied on and eavesdropped on by something attached to the other person's body.
Even, for a moment, he had this terrible thought: What if Eders in front of him had actually been controlled by his consciousness? Is this person talking to me the captain the other?
Although he knew that he was thinking too much, he still couldn't help but think crookedly.
You can't tell anyone about it...... Hurriedly emphasized this thought again in his heart, and Denor, who was in a daze, tried his best not to think about it.
Eders, who was talking to Denor, also noticed his hesitation at this time, and asked suspiciously what was going on.
"It's nothing, it's just a little tired. Deerno was indeed a little sleepy, so he was embarrassed to say so.
Hearing this, Eders had an epiphany, and seemed to be extremely apologetic that Deirno should really rest for a while after being adrift these days.
"There's a frost festival tomorrow! It's not too late to finish the festival first, and then deal with these trivial documents. Hastily tidying up the documents on the table that could be seen at a glance that they were still being approved not long ago, Edus's expression was quite expectant, and his tone was full of impatience: "I can't get out of Beihaiwang to attend the festival, but Neverwinter is not bad here! It's rare that you came back before the Frost Festival, how about coming with me to the central city tomorrow?"
"Ahh......h All right. Deerno was embarrassed to refuse when he saw Eders asking him so expectantly: if he knew that the captain was fighting these days because of his broken love, he would have accepted it even more without hesitation.
In fact, if Eders wanted to avoid the matter and didn't intend to tell Derno himself, he would soon find out - Dr. Enis, for example, would probably tell him if he met often. It's just that Deerno is also an outsider, and he can't fully understand Edus's sadness.
Eddes had been frustrated for a long time, and until now, he had avoided Tina as much as possible, and was so sad that he didn't want to meet her.
But...... The captain had little inclination towards the mad dog, and seemed to be focused on him with anger and resentment.
And the other party also didn't like him, so the two fought again two days ago. Both sides claimed that the other had provoked the incident, and it was impossible to distinguish the truth from the false.
Sent out of the office by Edès, Deer no meets Brea's butler and is told that he has sent a servant to clean up his room and bed, and light a fireplace to keep the temperature warm. A good housekeeper will not leave the room dusty and will arrange for a more thorough cleaning before the owner of the room returns.
After thanking the housekeeper and telling him that Leo and the others would not accompany them to Beihai to look, the sleepy Derno planned to meet Lusa and them before going to bed, but because he was too tired, he still put the matter on the back burner.
Warm fires and soft beds, and the howling of strong winds and heavy snow outside the window...... The allure of these things is especially great at this time.
In this way, he changed his route to the bathroom. After a simple wash, he returned to his room, and as soon as his head touched the pillow, he quickly fell into a dream.
So, the next day......
Dereno wakes up early as usual, and goes to the center of the city with Eddes for the festival.
On the other side, Lusa and the others had already gone to Beihai to look at the portal opened by Leo. Once you arrive in the bustling town, decorated with decorations and stalls, and bustling with people, everyone disperses to enjoy the atmosphere of the Frost Festival. Lucina happily grabbed her sister's hand and rushed into the town with her demons, and the first thing she did was to find a stall selling snacks and feast on it. And the abundance of food did not disappoint her.
All kinds of sweets, pastries, and so on. Lucina was particularly fond of a sour glutinous rice dumpling (pink, a bit like Minia), and ate several of them in one sitting. On the way, I choked because I ate too quickly.
"Why don't I choke you. "Iron Knight York hurt his master like this.
"Did you talk to your master like that?!" exclaimed Lucina, who was angry at the hearing.
Huge ice sculptures of the Ice Dragon God and the Frost Giant are placed in the central square of the town, and it looks as if they are ready to pinch each other at any moment. Thankfully, no one was fighting under them.
The pubs on the pier are full of people enjoying special festive drinks: many flavours of hot sparkling wine. There are also vendors pushing carts selling drinks on the streets, so although Lucina regrets not being able to get into the crowded tavern, she can buy some hot drinks on the street and drink them in the snow.
I have to say that drinking on the side of the road really has a unique charm. The white heat and the bitter cold wind converged, and the scattered snowflakes fell into the wine glass, and then melted in an instant. Just looking at all this, you can feel a rather soft beauty.
In the eyes of others, this girl with long snow-white hair and a drink in a cup and her sister next to her look extremely cute and attract a lot of attention. Tia, the water spirit on the side, is also like this. Perhaps, such an eye-catching is related to the fact that the clothes of the three people who are not afraid of the cold are extremely thin.
It seemed that a few people wanted to come over to talk, but they hesitated to approach. Because the Iron Knight York, who is not leaving, and the Guladan on the side look very difficult to mess with, and they are scary enough.
"I don't know who will be the Ice Queen this year......" Just as Lucina was addicted to drinking, she heard two people talking excitedly while walking: "Don't be late when you divide the cake at night!"
"Sister, haven't you ever thought about running for the Ice Queen?" Hearing this, Lusha, who was holding the fruit wine, was stunned for a while, and hurriedly reminded Sister Xiang like this.
