For the intelligent beings of the Yala world, the New Year is the most important holiday in all countries and represents a new beginning. For thousands of years, countless countries and countless races have celebrated this festival in their own ways. Grand celebrations, lively drinking feasts, noisy hunts, intoxicating singing parties, all races will drop everything on this day and enjoy a day of joy. Even in countries that are at war, the warring sides lay down their arms and celebrate on this day, and the outcome of the war is left to the new year.

Knowledge Cities are no exception. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the first year of the establishment of the Knowledge Capital hundreds of years ago, a group of young people who love to be lively showed their youthful vitality by singing and dancing in the central square of the city. Since then, it has become a tradition for the residents of the Intellectual City to hold a performance party in the central square on Chinese New Year's Eve, starting with the spontaneous gathering of residents on Chinese New Year's Eve every year to perform, and slowly began to be sponsored, the organization became more and more rigorous, and the performances became more and more formal. Year after year, I don't know when it began, the New Year's Celebration Concert in the Holy Capital was like the art district of the Holy City, and its fame spread throughout the Yala world, and tourists from all over the world came to visit it for a while.

Therefore, in the last few days of the year, the holy capital will gather countless tourists, and the metropolis, which originally contained 800,000 permanent residents, will suddenly pour into nearly a million people, making the city even more crowded and lively. So every few days, the businesses in the city are like a holiday - of course, in fact, it is a holiday - struggling to sink and sink in the pain of busyness and the joy of skyrocketing income.

However, when the time comes to the last day of the year, the crowded capital of knowledge becomes unusually calm and unusual. It would be naïve to think that the noise of the New Year has passed, it is just the calm before the storm, and everyone is gathering energy and waiting for the last and most enthusiastic outburst, the eruption in the night. Everyone is planning their evening itinerary, and there will be dozens of well-arranged meeting places for people to visit and watch in the urban space of more than 300 square kilometers in five urban districts, and each venue will have long-term art performances and commercial activities, and different people will choose different places to gather according to their own preferences and celebrate the New Year in their favorite way.

Of course, in these locations, the New Year's performance party in the central square of the business district is always the most lively and attractive, and the artists in Beicheng District, especially the young generation of performing artists, are all proud to receive the invitation to the New Year's performance party.

"Did you bring the tickets?" After closing the courtyard door of the mansion, Catherine finally confirmed with Lina, "Don't forget, it's not so easy to come back and pick it up when the time comes." ”

"Well, my eldest sister, you've already asked the fourth time. Lina said with a broken face: "Let's go quickly, don't waste any more time, I still want to go to the surrounding shops first." ”

"I always feel like I've forgotten something. Catherine sorted out the tickets, keys, purse, weapons, medicine, tools, Anne, Vivien, well, it seems that they have all been brought. ”

"Excuse me, my dear eldest sister. Vivien asked faintly behind her back, "Can you explain what Anne and Vivien mean?"

"Yes, yes. Anne's pale head poked out of Catherine's chest, and anyone who didn't know the truth would be scared half to death if they saw it. After a period of getting along, the little banshee also got used to the daily way of getting along with the girls, and was no longer as cautious as before, and became occasionally joking: "Dear Sister Catherine, what do you mean by Anne and Vivien?"

"It's nothing, you mean you're very well-behaved. Catherine smiled awkwardly and pressed Anne's head and stuffed her back into the crystal on her chest: "Don't always drill out like this, I'll be scared myself if I'm not mentally prepared, do you want to cause a sensation in the city?"

"You forgot to take me with you. Pannis poked his head out of the wall like a ghost: "It's just so ruthless." ”

"I knew you were going to come out of nowhere. Catherine gave Pannis a blank look: "Who knows where you ran to, really, hurry up, enter early and it won't be too crowded, otherwise you will be careful that you will become a panis." ”

"Toot!" A few long whistles sounded, and a neat footstep sounded, and ten members of the City Guard lined up and ran slowly down Fox Street.

"Little Victor, you're on patrol again today. Catherine looked back and greeted the escort who was leading the running: "It's really hard for you to patrol on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Haha, it's Miss Catherine. The guards stopped in front of the Western-style Pavilion: "If you patrol hard for one night, you can get an extra half a month's salary and fight for Yuna's new clothes." ”

"Happy boy, come on. Catherine waved to the guards, "I'll go first, see you next year." ”

"These lads are the hardest. As soon as she turned around, Catherine sighed: "New Year is their busiest time, there is really no way, there is too much traffic." ”

"Actually, it's okay, it's just a little harder. Pannis said: "At least you don't have to fight with your life, unlike us adventurers, who may lose your life if you are not careful." ”

"Yes, each has its own difficulties. Catherine smiled: "Don't think about this, grab every happiness now." Let's go, the celebration is about to begin. ”

It was already completely dark, and the public oil lamps on the streets were lit by the work of the city night watchmen, and the lights specially hung at the entrance of each house illuminated the whole city brilliantly. There are more and more pedestrians on the street, more and more dense, and gradually converge into a flow of people, rolling to all corners of the city.

"Haha, I'm the tallest and the clearest. Hey, left, left, left, thirty degrees to the left. Vivien smiled excitedly. Because he was afraid that she would get lost, Pannis put Vivian up directly and let her sit on his shoulder, Vivian's shrunken limbs didn't have much weight at all, and he didn't feel the slightest pressure on her.

"What do you see?" Catherine followed, seeing Vivien so excited, she couldn't help but be happy: "Don't move too much, sit tight, and be careful of falling." ”

"I saw acquaintances. Vivien happily patted Pannis's head: "Hurry, there are still ten meters to touch." Hey, it's us, you're here too?"

"I know who it is. Pannis shook his head vigorously and chased away Vivien's clapping hands: "I smell seafood, I'm hungry." ”

With the physical fitness of the professional to squeeze through the crowd, everyone quickly discovered the acquaintances that Vivien saw. Gully Elmer, the leader of the Blue Coral Adventure Group from Casa, the country of the sea, greeted his members with a happy face, the most eye-catching of which was the tall and mighty beard, but the skin was so nervous that the infant deep-sea octopus Bartolomeo was purple, at this time he was at a loss to follow the leader, and the six wrists and feet behind him subconsciously waved, constantly causing trouble for his teammates around him.

"It's a celebration to see that you're safe and sound. Catherine smiled and shook Gully Elmer's hand, "You guys left the jungle without a hitch." ”

"It went smoothly and there was no danger, thank you. Gully Elmer nodded, looking at the surging crowd around him in embarrassment: "I didn't expect to meet you at the celebration, but there are too many people now, let's find a time to talk alone after the New Year." ”

"Okay, we should be able to find it in our resident guild, it's 6 Fox Street, you are welcome to visit. Catherine also noticed that she was obstructing the traffic, and hurriedly left the address: "Goodbye, I wish you all a good time." ”

The flow of people continues to flow forward, and since this is the road leading to the busiest central square business district, the road is flanked by regular shops, unlike some other subdivisions with many small street vendors. If you look down from the sky, there is a flow of people in different directions on the left and right sides of the street, like two rushing rivers, with thin branches being diverted into the shops on the side of the road, and branches flowing out of the shops to join the crowd. People are not just moving forward, along the way, the people they meet, whether they know each other or not, will smile and nod, high-five each other, and say Happy New Year, just like old friends for many years.

"There are more people this year. Lina shouted hoarsely, and the shouts became faintly faint in the noisy voices around her: "If this trend continues, in less than ten years, the business federation will probably have to limit the number of people entering the city." ”

"There shouldn't be a limit to the number of people, but there will be a lot of diversion points. Catherine shouted and replied, "Vivien, do you see any interesting shops around?"

"I saw a lot. Vivien simply used the illusion technique to make her voice sound like it was coming from everyone: "There are so many beautiful things, toys, trinkets, ornaments, books, snacks, fruits, there are so many that everyone wants to see them." ”

"And the book sellers?" said Pannis, surprised: "How much do people who love to learn not forget to buy books in bookstores in this environment." ”

"Who knows. Vivien made a move that didn't matter to me: "You once said that when you meet more people, you will always bump into a few abnormal strange things." Besides, don't you have one behind this kind of person who loves to learn?"

"Wow, I'm going to check it out. Lina said with her teeth and claws: "Don't stop me, I must go and see." ”

"You've got enough. Catherine clenched her fist and knocked Lina on the head, "Well, listen to the sound, it has become emptier inside." ”

"Hey, big sister. Lina angrily pushed Catherine's hand away: "There are so many people now, don't drive me crazy." ”

"Haven't you been mad all the time?" said Catherine, who spread out her hands to show her innocence, and before Lina pounced, "Well, I remember this place, and I can come and see you when I go back in the evening." ”

"Hmph, this is what an eldest sister looks like. Lina immediately forgot her previous hatred and continued to trek through the crowd contentedly.
