Another night passed, and the next day the Western Harvest Festival began.

This is the biggest annual celebration in the West, and all the realms and tribes of the Westside bring their own season's output to Sunlight City in exchange for the goods they need.

The city's bazaars could no longer carry more and more goods as early as a few days before the harvest festival began, and the caravans were all spread out in the wilderness on the western side of the city.

They formed a circle in their respective caravans. In the middle was a tent erected for the accommodation and living of the caravan members, and the goods brought were placed on the outer layer of the circle, on which an awning made of rags was propped up for the guests to choose from.

Sunlight City will send soldiers to maintain order during the harvest festival, and arbitrators will also be sent to resolve disputes in transactions.

The caravan men did their best to sell the goods they had brought.

There are grains, furs, oilseeds, herbs in the market; There are magic books, alchemy materials, and mysterious props; locomotives, steam engines, pedal sewing machines; There are treasure maps, unknown adventure notes, astrological charts, potion recipes......

There is a mixture of advanced and backward in this era, some are cunning, some are simple, some are philistine, and some are generous. Some people want to get rich overnight, while others just want to sell the goods in their hands as soon as possible so that they can buy the goods they need to go home.

The harvest festival does not have an elegant and extravagant opening ceremony, but everyone can feel the enthusiasm of the desert and look forward to returning from here.

Sandpaper bouncing around the market, tossing a few coins in his hand, and his pink double ponytail swaying with it. From time to time, she would stop by a stall to buy something to eat or pick out interesting machinery.

Along with the sandpaper came out the kestrel and Sally the Abyss leopard.

Kestrel has no interest in shopping, preferring to spend her time practicing swordsmanship and meditation, or simply sitting quietly and piecing together the fragments of memories in her head. So the kestrel just follows the sandpaper, she stops when she stops, she gives herself food to eat.

Abyss Leopard Sally is the porter, and sandpaper has added a large space basket to her back, and everything she buys is put into the basket.

Seeing that the kestrel was not in high spirits shopping, the "kestrel ......" gnawed on a candied cactus and said, "The governor said that we will leave here tomorrow and return, and we only have one day off to participate in the harvest festival." Don't act like an adult, we are children and should do what children should do.

Boiling is injured, and let's think about what gift to buy for him. ”

The kestrel wears a trumpet swordsman's suit, a rapier at his waist, a sleeved arrow armour on his forearm, and a candied cactus in his hand.

"Children don't come to the market alone, and if Sally hadn't followed us, someone would have robbed you of your coins."

Sandpaper grabbed the coin and didn't throw it anymore, she looked around, and sure enough, many people looked at herself and the kestrel with bad intentions.

If it weren't for the high-level alchemy puppets like Abyss Leopard following, they would probably have done it.

Feeling that these people were not his opponents, Sandpaper tossed coins again.

"If anyone dares to rob us, they are the ones who are unlucky. I think I can give Boiling a cloak, and when I fight in the future, Boiling will definitely be majestic when I wear a cloak. ”

Kestrel said pragmatically: "When fighting, the cloak will only be a burden. ”

Sandpaper took a big bite of the candied cactus, chewing it with a crunchy sound: "This is going to test my design ability, both majestic and self-detached in an emergency, maybe I can design the cloak as an offensive and defensive weapon."

This requires an alchemist......

Anyway, now let's go and pick out a cloak for Boiling, what color do you think looks good? ”

Kestrel looked at the candied cactus in his hand: "Green? ”

"Does green look good?" Sandpaper imagines what it looks like to boil up and put on a green cloak: "I think red looks a little better." ”

"Red?" The kestrel was seriously thinking about what Boiling would look like when he put on his red cloak.

At this time, a voice sounded in front of the stall not far away: "Sister Redhead! Redhead sister! ”

Sandpaper first saw a little boy shouting and waving excitedly, and there was a lady next to the boy, who seemed to be his mother.

"Is that guy calling you?"

Kestrel turned its head to recognize the other party: "When I accompanied the Governor to the Slave Corner, I asked the Lord to ransom the two slaves, and they were them." ”

The boy had already pulled his mother and ran over: "It's really you, red-haired sister." Mother and I were disappointed that the lord had come to the slave's corner the morning before yesterday and had not seen you follow him. I didn't expect to see you at the Harvest Festival. ”

The mother saluted the kestrel and sandpaper, then took out a money bag from her bosom and presented it: "Thank you, Miss, for saving me and the oak." Miss Mephesman provided us with a place to live and a job, and I did not touch the money, and now return it to you.

Ask your name, Miss, and Oak and I will always remember the kindness you have given us. ”

The boy also saluted the kestrel and sandpaper: "Sister red-haired, what's your name?" When I grow up, I will definitely repay you for saving my mother and me. ”

Kestrel took the money bag and put it away, and said to the oak mother and son, "I didn't do anything, it was the lord who set you free." That Lord doesn't need you to repay, taking care of each other and living well is the purpose of that Lord giving you freedom. ”

Sandpaper bought a candied cactus from the side and stuffed it for oak wood, and said, "Her name is Kestrel and I am her sister Sandpaper." Please eat this, it's delicious. ”

Oak took the candied cactus, and when he heard the mechanical voice of the sandpaper, he asked curiously: "Sister Kestrel is good, Sister Sandpaper is good." Sandpaper sister, is your throat sick? ”

Sandpaper said, "My throat has changed because of the secret arts, not sickness. ”

"Wow! Secret art! As soon as Oak Mu took a bite of the candied cactus, he shouted when he heard the secret technique: "Master Mephesman said that as long as I train hard, when I am three years older, he will use the secret technique to improve my strength." At that time, I will become a strong fighter.

Protect your mother and no longer be bullied by anyone. ”

Kestrel recalled the last time he saw Mephesman, and asked Oak, "Mephesman took you as a disciple?" ”

"Yes, Miss Kestrels." Mephesman walked over at this point, she put away her pipe and saluted Kestrel and Sandpaper, "Please forgive me for overhearing your conversation, we are here for the harvest festival together." Oak shows more wisdom and tenacity than children of the same age, and can grow into a powerful warrior if taught carefully.

Since I decided not to do my previous business, I had the time and energy to train an apprentice.

Thank you for forgiving me for the sins I had committed. ”

Where does Sandpaper know the twists and turns inside, let alone Luke's layout in the West. It's just that her intuition makes her dislike Mephesman a little, and she feels that there is an uncomfortable edge in her slender eyes.

Previous experiences have given sandpaper a richer experience than kestrels.

"It has nothing to do with us, that Lord forgive you. I gave him a job as a repairman because of my promise, and the kestrel was seconded to him temporarily, and he had to return it when he ran out.

If you want to show your gratitude, you might as well go straight to him. ”

Hearing Sandpaper's answer, Mephesman's expression showed a little disappointment.

The entire western border is about to undergo great changes, and all forces are about to carry out a reshuffle. Anyone who is a little ambitious and has some information in advance wants to take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the occasion.

Mauffsman, who participated in the reception of Luke throughout the process, knew that the Sand Pirates would no longer have room to live in the future Westside, which belonged to the Meteorite and Moonlight Court.

Mauffsman accepted Oak as his apprentice, not only because he really valued Oak's potential, but also on Oak's relationship with the Governor of Meteorite.

After all, he was a slave that the meteorite had redeemed and given him freedom.

If you can rely on the thigh of the Governor of the Meteorite with the oak wood, the Western Realm will definitely have its own place in the future.

Outcome...... The Governor of Meteor came to Slave's Point for the second time, and did not mention the oak mother and son that he had ransomed.

This time, at the harvest festival, the oak mother and son happened to meet the kestrels, and Maevesman felt that this might be an opportunity for her.

Outcome...... Kestrel is only on temporary secondment, not a close confidant of the Governor of Meteorite, which explains why Meteorite went to Slave Point for the second time to sign an agreement, but Kestrel did not follow.

She's probably a high-ranking agent of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

As for the other girl called Sandpaper. A maintenance worker, who is indeed wearing a maintenance worker's outfit, can be ignored.

Mauffsman didn't feel the need to waste time on two minor characters, so he said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely thank that adult in person." We are waiting for the mission of the Moonlight Royal Court, so we will not delay the tour of the two young ladies. If you have trouble at the harvest festival, you can report my name. ”

"Moonlight Court? I've heard this name several times on the road, what is it? ”

Sandpaper was very puzzled when she heard the Moonlight Royal Court, she and the Kestrel were busy repairing and boiling all day yesterday, and they didn't hear the news of the Moonlight Royal Court and the World Tree.

Mauffsman didn't look like it was pretending to be sandpaper, and Kestrel didn't look like he knew anything about the Moonlight Court.

It's hard to imagine that there are people in Sunshine City who don't know what the Moonlight Royal Court is, which also confirms that these two little girls are not important characters, otherwise they should know about the Moonlight Royal Court before themselves.

Speaking of the Moonlight Court, Mephesman couldn't help but raise his head and look proud.

"You probably don't know the news of the World Tree's resurgence. The new generation of the World Tree grows on top of the remains of the previous generation of the World Tree, and works with the Moonlight Queen to form the Moonlight Court.

The World Tree once sheltered the ancestors of the Western Barbarians, and it was the spiritual belief of all the Western Barbarians, but this belief was buried in our hearts with the destruction of the World Tree.

This revival of the World Tree has rekindled the flame of faith, and the Moonlight Court has given us a spiritual and physical home.

Yesterday, news came from the direction of the ancestral grassland, Her Majesty the Moonlight Queen will lead the delegation of the Moonlight Royal Court to Riyao City to participate in the harvest festival, and meet with Agatha, the eldest princess of the Golden Shield Empire, to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

We weren't interested in the harvest festival, we were here just to see Her Majesty's style.

I heard that His Majesty is a very powerful elven magician. She waved her hand, and it rained heavily; Wave your hand again, and it will snow......"

Mauffsman's expression was very excited. Yesterday she felt the World Tree answer her prayers, the drizzle dripping on her body, and she could clearly feel an invisible hand soothing her.

Like a mother's love, like a father can be relied on.

Until then, the Moonlight Court and the World Tree might just be a name for a barbarian like Mephesman. But when the buried faith is awakened, Mefsman can feel the piety of his ancestors in his blood.

It has nothing to do with the good or evil of the individuals, they are connected to the World Tree.

Therefore, Mephesman brought the oak mother and son to the harvest festival early to welcome the arrival of the moonlight queen.

Oak was also excited to hear Mephesman talk about the Moonlight Kingdom: "I met an orc named Hamm yesterday, and he said he had seen the Moonlight Queen.

When the Queen of Moonlight passed through the Scorched Wood Camp and went to the Ancestral Grassland to revive the World Tree, she stopped at the Orc Hamm's Tavern and gave him a bottle of Water Elemental Essence.

He said that a drop of water elemental essence can conjure two large glasses of water.

At that time, the Queen of the Moon and her retinue ate a food called canned food, and Her Majesty also had a talking cat. ”

Kestrel interjected at this time and asked, "Is that cat black?" ”

Mauffsman and Oak asked at the same time, "How do you know?" ”

Kestrel and Sandpaper looked at each other.

Water elemental essence, this is something that many magicians do, but canned food is a cheap food preservation technique invented by Miss Sunny Sky through secret arts, and it has not yet been promoted.

As for talking cats, there shouldn't be many of them in the world, and they're black cats.

Elven magician, rain, snow.

Kestrel and Sandpaper are almost certain that the Queen of the Moon is Miss Sunny Sky.

But when did Miss Sunny Sky become the Queen of Moonlight?

At this time, someone shouted: "Her Majesty the Moonlight Queen has arrived!" Her Majesty the Queen of the Moonlight has arrived! ”

Then the eagle's cry resounded through the sky.

A large flock of goshawks flew from the western sky, and the earth gradually shook violently.

It didn't take long for a cavalry group to gallop in from the western wilderness. At the forefront was a cavalry composed entirely of elves, dressed in simple leather armor and scarves of bright red and flaming with characteristic lines on their cheeks.

It is a fierce war song, they once guarded the remains of the World Tree, and almost never left the grassland of the ancestors. This kind of ferocious war song appeared on a large scale outside the steppe of the ancestors, and it is unique in history.

At the head of the fierce Warrior Cavalry was a female elf, riding a panther larger than a horse, with short green hair and a crown of queens.

She is the Moonlight Queen who revived the World Tree and established the Moonlight Court with the Moonlight Tree King!

When all the people at the harvest festival heard the news, they gathered and automatically moved out of the way into the city, and bowed reverently to their sides.

The team of the Moonlight Royal Court quickly slowed down as they approached, changing from galloping to jogging, and then marched into the crowd in the middle of the road in a regular marching formation.

The panther carried the queen with a haughty catwalk to accept the people's worship, and as she passed by the sandpaper and the kestrels, she threw a wink at the two stunned girls.
