The Winter Veil Festival is a unique festival in the Islay Basin.
In the folklore of Islay, a beautiful winter elf sleeps in the depths of the Endless Mountains, who awakens whenever winter comes, and then envelops the entire Basin of Islay with a winter veil.
The winter curtain is the winter curtain, which is a huge veil full of snowflakes. The Winter Elves will fly through the air in a cart pulled by twelve reindeer, hanging this huge veil over the sky of the Islay Basin.
Then there was a flurry of snow in the sky.
Snowflakes fell on the farms, on the grape trellises, on the bricks of the century-old castle, on the streets of St. Valentine, on the endless sea of lilacs.
The thick snow moistens the land, and in the coming year, this fertile land is bound to bloom even more vividly.
And in the city of St. Valentine, there is a store of fine wine, smoked venison, milk and cookies, raisins and toffee...... It is a day of celebration of a year of abundance and anticipation of a new harvest in the coming year.
This day is the first day of the second month of winter every year.
On this day, people will gather in the square in front of the Lilac Castle β where there will be a big feast.
On this day, merchants bring in a large amount of food and wine, and the city invites well-known circuses and cabarets to perform in the square. At the same time, adventurers from everywhere come here to enjoy a rare vacation, and occasionally, there are foreign tourists who come to visit.
This day, the Winter Veil, is the biggest festival of the year in the hearts of these people who live in Islay.
At this time, the time is just around the Winter Veil, but the streets of St. Valentine are already full of festive atmosphere.
Walking down a street in the middle of the city, Enid saw that the adults had left a clearing for the childrenβthe snow had not been shoveled away.
At this time, many children were playing happily in the snow.
Seeing Enid looking in that direction attentively, Ellie was a little misunderstood: "Miss, do you want to go over and play too?"
"No, it's not. Enid, who came to her senses, denied, "I was just thinking about something. β
Enid wasn't lying, and she's not the kind of person who would shy hide her feelings.
In fact, she really has no interest in building snowmen, snowball fights, or anything like that.
But Sally was interested.
She stared at it without blinking, and her face was full of words like "Ahhhhh
Ellie noticed, and then, Enid noticed.
So, she spoke: "Sally, go over if you want." We're just walking around the streets anyway. β
"Yes, Miss. Sally cheerfully agreed, and then jumped over like a fawn.
Enid simply asked the guards who came out to find a place to rest nearby, and she sat down on a stone chair by the snow.
Elle followed up and asked, "Miss, don't you really want to play?" and get in touch with children of the same age, perhaps...... There are benefits too. β
Enid was a little helpless.
"Yes, I really don't want to. Again, she emphasized.
"I'm more interested in when the guys who are hiding in the shadows are going to do it. β
There was no one near the stone chair who could hear the two of them talking.
"Miss, do you think they're going to do it at the Winter Veil?" asked Ellie.
"Quite possibly. Enid nodded, "That day was the busiest and most chaotic time in St. Valentine. The city guards, as well as the sheriff's staff, were almost always used to maintain order in the city. Even the family's guards were often used to maintain order in front of Lilac Castle in previous years. If they want to do something, that's the time, right?"
"But what can they do?" Enid asked, the city guards, the family guards, or something...... Enid had never been counted on. "What can the Rose Knights lurk in, and the adventurers all over the city?"
She didn't expect an answer, but she cleared her mind.
The key point, the key point of the whole thing, is still on these members of the Noble family, and the control of the Golem Legion.
Enid decided that when she returned, she would find a way to find the Golem Control Core that her father kept, and then ......
"Miss, look, look at the snowman I built......" Just as the two of them turned their attention to Sally over there, a carriage came at the end of the street.
The carriage quickly drove near the snow and then stopped.
Enid saw his second brother come down from above, and then walk straight for himβhe seemed to notice him in the carriage.
Rust looked at the little young girl who was still wearing her usual simple dress and only wore a coat outside, and said with some reproach: "Why do you still have to run out in this weather, and you still wear so little." β
couldn't explain that she actually had a spell to keep warm, so the little girl had to stiffen her neck and push back: "Brother, you're not the same!"
Heh, Rust smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm going to get down to business." β
"What's the matter?" Enid quickly took the opportunity to tilt the topic away.
β...... Anyway, let's get back to the car first. β
"Okay. β
Walking to the carriage, Enid noticed that Nobodi was also staying on the horse next to her, and she laughed twice at the uncle.
Nobodi's face darkened.
Rust, who was watching from behind, picked up the little girl angrily and put her in the carriage: "Okay, get in quickly." β
It seems that Enid took Elle to Nobodi for trouble that day, and he already knew about it.
Elle and Sally, as well as the guards, would naturally go back with them, and there was no need for Enid to worry about it.
In the carriage, the brother and sister sat opposite each other.
"Now can you tell me what you're going to do?" asked the little girl.
Rust sighed, "Well, you'll find out sooner or later anyway. β
"In the morning, I went to hire people and hired a very famous team of adventurers. β
"Oh, second brother, what are you hiring, are there any activities among those noble young masters and ladies during the Winter Veil Festival?" Enid felt that it was not strange, similar situations were commonplace.
In previous years, these idle aristocratic young people naturally couldn't settle down in the Winter Veil Festival.
They are often keen to go to the countryside for winter hunting, and then return to the city to celebrate with roe deer, wild boar, foxes and other prey, and at such times, it is natural to hire adventurers to help them hunt.
"No, it's not so......," Rust hesitated, as if to think about how to speak, "I'm going on an adventure, going deep into the Endless Mountains, going on an adventure." β
Enid was horrified.
Of course, the winter hunt of the children of the nobles could not go deep into the Endless Mountains, and they usually hunted in the woods near the mountains in the suburbs.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" neither of them noticed, and by this time, Enid's tone had become very serious. "Are you...... What rumors have you heard?"
Rust glanced at the little girl with some surprise.
"Yes, a rumor, uh, a message, the legacy of the Noble family...... I believe that if I can find the legacy left by our ancestors, I ...... You can really have your own power!, instead of being able to ...... like now," he said vaguely.
"Those rumors are false!" Enid raised her voice.
"How can you be sure it's fake? maybe...... Anyway, I have to go, this is my only chance!" Rust said, the lower his voice became, and by the end he was almost muttering.
"So...... What is the mercenary group you hired?" Realizing that it was impossible for his brother to change his mind, the events of the previous party had stimulated him too much, Enid sighed, and finally confirmed.
"Guns and Roses Mercenary Regiment. β
The enemy's fox tail is finally revealed.
