Chapter 400: A New Beginning
It's another year of Winter Veil Festival, and Klose is celebrating his twentieth birthday.
This time, since the war on the Ryan Continent has basically stopped completely, even the people who have some minor frictions don't know about it.
In this way, everyone ushered in the most lively, happiest, and most anticipated winter curtain festival in many years in a festive and peaceful atmosphere!
Klose announced before that there would be a fireworks show at the Winter Veil Festival~! So before the time came, the edge of the abyss of the fireworks show was already full of people who came to watch.
Of course, everyone dragged their families with them, children frolicked around, and laughter and laughter converged into a sea.
Klose stood on top of the cliff fortress, directing the craftsmen to place the fireworks in place.
He took a large number of children with him and named the fireworks.
As the minutes passed, the number of people present to watch the fireworks show had become more and more, squeezing the surroundings of the magic forest into a crowd.
Klose, who was standing on a high place, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "Hey~ Once upon a time, we were still worried about the population in the territory, but now, the population of the metropolis of Molin has become the largest in the mainland!" How many people do we have now who are officially registered with a hukou? ”
Klose asked Lana beside her, and Lana waved her palm proudly: "My dear king, not counting Borderlands and Pumpkin Town and Bankaz, just these three castles in our magic forest, the permanent population has exceeded 500,000!" And this speed is still growing~~~ The most important thing is that everyone in your territory has something to eat, something to do, and a strong sense of belonging! No matter what race or people from any continent, once you settle here, you will fall in love here~! and assimilated as the people of the Black Raven. My dear Wang, I usually think that maybe all this comes from your unique personal charm~! ”
Klose's face blushed a little, he touched his nose and said, "Oops~~ Don't say this kind of thing that everyone knows, it's embarrassing." ”
Lana covered her mouth and snickered: "You still know shyness? Hey~ This is also a strange thing. ”
"Dad~~It's time~~~ Let's start setting off fireworks quickly!"
While the two were talking, a group of children, led by Chenguang's eldest brother, rushed to Klose's side, all shouting to start the fireworks.
Klose was surrounded by his children in the middle, and his father and father screamed, and his hair stood on end, which was called a comfortable ~~!
"Okay, okay, ready to start~~~ Let's look at it from a distance, remember to cover your ears."
He took the children into a specially built platform in the cliff fortress, and the family sat around the soft and warm blankets, drinking hot milk, and their eyes were full of antiquity.
At Klose's command, the craftsmen in charge of firing the cannon began a countdown of five numbers.
The people on the edge of the cliff also fell silent in an instant, and counted together. When the count reached one, everyone held their breath and looked at the inky starry sky.
Klose yells "Start"! The craftsmen decisively lit the fuse, and the fireworks shot straight into the sky with a "bang"! Colorful flowers bloom on the canvas on the black baseboard!
It was a sight that those who witnessed it today may never have imagined that they would be living such a good life today! I can't imagine that the world can develop so fast under the leadership of the Black Raven King!
The fireworks show officially began, and countless fireworks shot into the sky with a whistling sound, blooming in different colors and shapes.
The people beside the cliff let out bursts of exclamations and laughter, the children clapped their palms happily, and the vendors who saw the opportunity to sell snacks and drinks took the opportunity to make a fortune.
In addition, the Dark Demon soldiers who were in charge of the guard were the most nervous people of the night.
They looked at the dense crowd of black presses, for fear of some stampede. And they also have to guard against the thieves who inevitably appear in this crowd.
Of course, among the permanent residents of this Morning Light Country, everyone has a job, and they will not do that kind of high-risk and low-reward criminal business. However, as a megacity, it is inevitable that it will be mixed with outsiders.
It's not that these outsiders are spies sent by other forces or anything, it's just that their level of education and ideological level are far from those of the Black Crows.
These people have not yet gotten used to the Black Crow's system, and it is normal for them to have a few petty thefts before they find a job.
Of course, once they are caught by patrolling soldiers, the deportation is light! Basically, not only will you be fined, detained, but also punished with a whipping that you will never forget!
Such a high-cost crime would not be done by anyone who understands this new world. Unless it is a homeless who has fled from other places, they don't know how powerful the local patrol is, of course, as long as they are caught once, they know how powerful.
The fireworks show lasted for two hours before it ended. After that, it was time for Klose, the king, to give out New Year's red envelopes!
In order to prevent crowding and stampede, he asked everyone to line up and handed out red envelopes and New Year's candy to children under the age of 14 with his wife.
After receiving the red envelope, each child will say an auspicious word to Klose and the princesses. It indicates that the king will live a long life, his children and grandchildren will be prosperous, the territory will be stable for a long time, and the people's life will be better and better!
In addition to this, Klose also copied the same set of things he used to celebrate the New Year into his own country.
Today's black crow people are also popular to post Spring Festival couplets, set off fireworks, and visit relatives and friends to do New Year's goods during the Winter Curtain Festival!
That scene.... Except for the tall, short, fat and thin, and various races, everything else makes Klose feel like he is in a dream, as if he has returned to the previous world!
He would nod and smile when he saw dwarves and elves, or goblins and orcs on the street. And he also saw a stall selling handwritten Spring Festival couplets on the side of the street! This Nima.... Too familiar, too reminiscent of killing is there!
At that moment, on a whim, Klose returned to the castle with a group of his children and started a large project of handwriting Spring Festival couplets.
Think about it, how many doors are there in a castle? How many windows? He mobilized his children to join him in writing Spring Festival couplets with a brush and writing blessing characters.
And yet the result is.... These little guys didn't write a few words, but the ink was smeared everywhere.... In particular, the naughty overlord likes to scribble on the faces of his brothers and sisters with a brush dipped in ink.
Of course, except for Chenguang, the big brother overlord, he didn't dare to paint, and he didn't pay attention to the other brothers and sisters at all. Except for Chanel, who is still a baby's sister Overlord, who is very distressed, the other brothers and sisters are within the scope of his pranks! Even Klose sometimes gets hit.
He still remembers one time when he was lying on the sofa in the living room after drinking, and when he woke up, there were two more kings on his face! He also became a panda eye.
No need to ask, he knows that it must be a good thing done by this little cub of the overlord!
However, after some chickens and dogs, he finally caught his youngest son, but Klose's hand was in the air for a long time and couldn't fall. Damn it! It's distressing! It's all their own cubs, so what if they're naughty?
As a result, Klose and Overlord became two of them, and the two of them drew each other's faces with brushes, causing a mess in the castle.
After the lively Winter Veil Festival, it is the longest holiday of the year, Golden Week.
At the beginning of the holiday, the people of the Black Crow walk the streets with gifts and visit the homes of relatives and friends to give gifts. The lively scene brought tears to Klose's eyes.... All this is all too familiar to him!
Looking at the endless stream of new and old friends in the castle every day, he always had to get drunk with everyone, and never used magic to eliminate alcohol.
Among them, the Facks, who had arrived from the Northland desert, took up residence at Klose's castle.
Everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they drank dimly at the moment.
Salomon returned to normal after that incident, but unexpectedly, even his squint returned to normal!
Although the Salomon who no longer rolls his eyes makes people look a little unaccustomed, I have to say, is this kid still handsome~ Coupled with his unique melancholy temperament, he is also quite popular with the maids in the castle.
Ward is a very popular favorite of Klose's children! Everyone gathered around the lizardman uncle and asked him to play with him.
The silly lizardfolk have no resistance to small children, and are often pulled around by them. He will meet the requirements of these little guys one by one, but even if he is as strong as Ward, he is so tired that he can't lift his fingers after playing with these little ancestors for a day, and he complains bitterly.
And it is worth saying that Jadeite actually chased after the black-hearted guy who was mourning!? Become the mistress of the Thieves' Guild.
In addition to this, she is also the deputy head of the mercenary group. Now in the Northland Desert, except for the mercenary king Shar Cusack, the power to save a few Turquoise stones is the greatest, and the status is the highest.
This incident also made Fake, who was the head of the regiment, very annoyed... As long as you see Klose, you have to complain! But our little lord still blessed the Jadeite.
On this day, Ward and the children were exhausted from playing and lay down on the ground. Turquoise went back to the room to rest. Salomon was pestered by the maids to perform archery on the outskirts of the castle.
Klose sat in the living room with Fack and told a strange story.
