According to Tarrant's plan, he would wake up in the morning, quietly bring his things to the sheltered light, and then gather outside the lair of the soul-sucking monsters, but things always change, and it was early in the morning when he fell asleep, and it was not his physical reaction that woke him up, but a strange symphony, sharp wind music, heavy drums, slightly distant, as if there was nothing in a dream.

He opened his eyes and glared at the pattern of the roof, and the lady on the bed next to him, not dreaming, where did those sounds come from, he got up and walked to the window and glanced out, and saw a marching band in the distance of the street outside the door. From the dress, it seems that it is the Emperor Band, they usually only appear during the parade on the celebration day, what day is it worth such a big movement today.

Tarrant looked up at the position of the sun, about nine o'clock, overslept, he turned and walked to the bedside, Katrina was not awake, huddled in the bed, only the long burgundy hair was exposed, and she slept soundly last night.

Tarrant simply freshened up, put away the mattress, the sound outside the window was getting louder and louder, there might be a long band, there must be something, Tarrant was used to living in the wild, and he couldn't remember any festivals in the empire.

Sooner or later, Catrina will be woken up, and she will have to leave immediately, Tarrant picked up the mattress and walked out of the room, put it in the storage room, and walked down the stairs with light feet, the two maids were cleaning the hall, and Stewart stood in the doorway with a smile on his face, watching the procession.

"Stewart, what day is it?"

The old butler turned around, "You were here last night, and I thought you didn't come back." Today is Kingdom Day, have you forgotten?"

The founding day of the kingdom is the national day of the Serenço, which is hundreds of ...... Or thousands of years ago, Tarrant couldn't say the exact date, but it was a long time ago today, when the kingdom was officially proclaimed. It was indeed a memorable day, starting from a fishing village, developing into a dock, establishing the first city of Siante, raising an army, opening up the wilderness, driving away wild beasts, expanding its territory, and now becoming a trading kingdom, experiencing countless twists and turns, and experiencing countless twists and turns, as a Serenso, not only have respect for the pioneering and dedication of their ancestors, but also learn to inherit it. Every year on the founding day of the kingdom, the empire organizes a parade of the Imperial Band, which aims to make the people of the Serenço remember this.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a band march," Tarrant said as he walked to the door, looking at the procession, some people singing and dancing along with the band, and children happily weaving through the procession.

The biggest celebration parade in the kingdom, Tarrant would follow the procession throughout Siante when he was a child, the festivities began in the morning and lasted until about seven o'clock in the evening, there were parades in all places except the lotus lamp area and the fortress area, and at the end of the day, the children would come home and fall asleep, the craziest day of the year.

"So you should stay in Siante for a while," said Stelt, for you are getting farther and farther away from social life. ”

"I was about to talk about it, the Light of Shelter has a move today, to leave Siant, I can't say how much time it will take. ”

The old butler was silent, he had tried to stop it, but had not succeeded, and now he was too lazy to try.

Tarrant walked out the door with his greatsword in the direction of the repair shop, where the armor had to be retrieved, and he explained to the butler, "I'll go first, don't reveal my whereabouts to anyone else." ”

The word "others" was almost specific, because no one usually came to Tarrant, and the butler walked in with a sigh.

When Tarrant had just walked about 100 meters, he remembered the butler's shout behind him: "Tarrant, someone is looking for you." ”

She must have woken up!, Tarrant, pretending not to hear, quickened his pace, and was fine as soon as he blended into the parade.

When he thought so, he obviously sensed a gust of cold wind behind him, and Tarrant was about to turn around, when an ice arrow flew past his ear and shot directly at the tree in front of him, the impact made the tree shake suddenly, and fell to the ground with green leaves, his ears hurt a little, and he was scratched by the swirling air flow of the magic arrow, Tarrant stopped, forced himself to make a smiling expression, and slowly turned around, "Hi!"

The mage had already changed into his robes and walked this way, "I knew you would do this!"

"I'm just going to get the armor, I'll call you later", he humbly hid the greatsword behind his back.

Katrina pressed against Tarrant's waist, "Then let's go together!" She had already seen the sword, but she knew the fact that there was no need to mention it.

"It's an honor," Tarrant held out his right hand to hold his girlfriend's hand, "this way." ”

They soon met the procession, the drummers of the band used all their strength to transmit the cheerful sound to each building, the children in the neighborhood ran out to chase and play in the procession, the people of the White Fog stopped on both sides of the road, sang and danced together, and some people walked along with the procession, these traditions have developed a tacit understanding, on this day, all people have to do is laugh to their heart's content.

While shuttling through the celebratory stream, a boy with a runny nose bumped into Katrina's waist and ran forward with the child next to her without apologizing, Katrina looked down and saw that the middle of the robe was stained with yellow slime, she sneered and slapped the robe, "The current children are so uneducated!"

Tarrant snickered, "Everyone was like that in childhood, don't we like to play tricks on adults too?" ”

"I'm a cultured young lady!"

"Do you know what we called you behind our backs when we were kids?" Tarrant quietly quickened his pace, "Miss Flatten!" he laughed and slipped into the crowd.

"Damn!" Catrina chased after her, "you bastards!"

As if back to childhood, the two quickly chased after each other in the crowd, one laughing and the other angry.

Tarrant ran all the way to the blacksmith's shop, breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted inside, "Hether!"

The blacksmith walked out slowly, "Man, I'm okay with my hearing. A girl sprinted from behind Tarrant and slammed her fist on the right side of Tarrant's head, and Heether opened her mouth wide and paused for two seconds before relieving herself, "You will always be so 'brave' when so many people on the street dare to attack the paladin who protects the light, Katrina." ”

Tarrant rubbed his head, "It's a shame she's not going to work as a Berserker." ”

"She should be a blacksmith," Heser smiled innocently.

"That's what happens to offending the mage," Catrina put away her fists and walked into the blacksmith with her hands behind her back, "Hether, you should do some big business, this kind of small work will never make money." ”

Heser followed, "Big business requires good skills, like your father, and I'm just a rough man, and I'm good for this kind of small work." ”

"Is my armor repaired?" Tarrant searched for the Stone Defender and saw it in the corner, the breach was gone.

"You're going out on the founding day of the kingdom, the warriors of the Shelter Light are so dutiful," Heether picked up his armor and put it on the counter, "You check to see if there's any problem." ”

"No need to check", Tarrant took out 10 gold coins and put them on the table, the old patron, he believed in Hether's craftsmanship, and the two never talked about the price of repairs, but only paid according to Tarrant's estimate, and Heether never objected.

Katrina picked up a flyer on the counter, "What is this?"

"For this year's special event on the founding day, a profile was printed in each district of the national capital, and if you collect all the profiles, you can go to the display case in front of the Shingon Hall to receive a gift, which was sent to me by the procession just now. ”

"Gift?" Catrina's eyes lit up, "What is it?"

"Said to be a bag of candy with the Cerenzo royal family logo emblazoned. ”

"Ouch......" she looked very disappointed, this gift was a deception to children, she remembered the boy with a runny nose just now, it was rude and disgusting.

Tarrant took the leaflet, which wrote the formation and current situation of the White Fog District, the White Fog District was originally farmland, when Zant expanded, it became a good residential area, and the upper class people bought land and built houses here, and after a long time, it formed a living area with higher literacy, good things caused more pursuits, and the follow-up construction of the White Fog District injected more layout considerations, and the streets, greening, public security, etc. were comprehensively improved, and now it has become the top residential area in the Serenso.

At the bottom of the leaflet, the residents of the White Mist District are reminded to protect the status quo of the White Mist District and maintain the image of the empire.

Tarrant put the list back on the counter, "If you want to collect all the flyers, you have to run...... White Mist District, Trade District, Administrative District, Hedeng District, Hongdu District, Wharf District, Qiluoda District...... Wait, are there flyers in the ghetto and fortified areas?"

Hether spread his hands out, "I don't know, you don't want those sweets, do you?"

"Unless he wants to be taught a lesson," Catrina glared at the knight, running through all the districts meant that there was nothing else to do for the day.

"Just ask," Tarrant chuckled awkwardly and picked up his armor, "we're leaving, good luck." ”

The two called a carriage at the gate and headed for the administrative district.

Now there were more people celebrating in the streets, and the carriage could not let go of its speed, and the coachman allowed the horses to move slowly through the crowd.

Once in the business district, the atmosphere was even more lively, the already narrow streets were now full of people, the shopkeepers shouted slogans such as "Great sale on National Day!" and "Bronze Sale!" and so on, halfling newsboys were handing out leaflets everywhere, and beer from the tavern was already sold on the street.

Tarrant poked his head out and shouted at the coachman, "At this speed, we will not be able to reach the administrative district in the afternoon!"

The coachman looked back and smiled, "My lord, we can cross this road faster." ”

All the roads in the business district are shops, and there is no reason to walk through this road to speed up, Tarrant pressed this problem, the crowd on the road was too noisy, and he didn't like to talk at the top of his voice.

The carriage struggled out of the crowd, and sure enough, it was faster, and Tarrant looked out the window to see a neat army marching in the middle of the road!

Yellow full-body armor, long sword, square shield, and crossed hands on the helmet, symbolizing unity, the Royal Guard of Serenço!

Tarrant muttered to himself in confusion: "The royal guards are all participating in the parade. ”

"They never go to the parade," reminded Katrina from the window.

The coachman shouted in front of him, "This year's special! The king has the royal guards parade around the city in order to show the strength of the imperial army." ”

The Royal Guards marched in order, acted in unison, made a heart-intoxicating "step" and "step" sound, looking at the military posture, their combat effectiveness was good, Tarrant sighed a sentence that Warren said, "The land nation is obsessed with peace and is vulnerable", if Warren saw these guards, he would not think like that anymore.

The carriage followed the army into the district, where there were relatively few inhabitants, and the street was a little looser, and the carriage came to a halt in front of the door of the sheltered light.

Tarrant changed into his armor in the car, stepped out of the door, and headed straight for Ryan's office.

Outside there were celebratory crowds, but inside the Sheltered Light was as calm as ever, and adventurers had long forgotten about these festivals.

Ryan sat in his office looking at a copy of the paper, and he put down the text after he noticed Tarrant, "Knight, please take a seat, I have bad news and good news......"

"Then listen to the bad news first", Katrina interjected with a smile, and the stories she read were like this, when there was two good and bad news, the other party would always ask which one she wanted to hear first.

Ryan clasped his hands together, "Well, the bad news is that the Empire has changed its plan to clean up the Psicos......"
