In the fantasy world, the fall of the old empire came suddenly and violently, and by the time the people living in it reacted, they had become part of the stars of the new empire.

But for them, this year is definitely a memorable and very memorable year.

At first, because of the neon invasion, the old empire recruited a large number of troops, and after the defeat, the situation was turbulent and the regime was uneasy.

At the time of the intermediate negotiations, there was a chaotic invasion, countless casualties, and a depressed society.

Later, during the period of the takeover of the Stars Empire, the entire control area was subject to military control, and the church organization was banned on a large scale.

It can be said that there are waves of unsettled waves, and various factors have made the society in a high-pressure state for a long time.

Civil servants at the grassroots level sensed this situation and submitted their proposals to the Ministry of the Interior.

Originally, according to the plan, the military control of the fantasy world would be lifted in a few days. According to traditional customs, seven days later happened to be the Lantern Festival in Shen Sen's memory.

In the end, after research and decision, Shen Sen instructed the Ministry of the Interior to specially approve the supply of materials by the state in the fantasy world, hold a three-day star lantern festival, feast the world, and have fun with the people, so as to release the pressure of the people and enhance the centripetal force of the fantasy world.

As soon as the news came out, it was so well received that even the public servants of Blue Star and the wasteland couldn't wait to catch a glimpse of the festival.

After all, it is the first time that a traditional festival has been held in a fantasy world with beautiful scenery and diverse species that has not undergone large-scale industrial transformation.

Of course, as an organization dominated by the masses, except for a small number of personnel on duty that day, they basically got the vacation they deserved.

As a native of the fantasy world, the staff of the Star Language Court and the Psionic Academy, who are now part of the Star Empire, were also given three days off to participate in the celebration of the arrival of the new era that they had started themselves.

This is followed by preparations for the Starry Lantern Festival.

Adhering to the attitude of either not doing it, or doing it if you want to do it, the Star Empire is ready to make this Star Lantern Festival celebration a model, and it can be held in other worlds in the future.

Therefore, with the support of the various departments of the stars, a large number of supplies were transported from the space-time gate by truckloads, including dazzling holiday decorations, all kinds of food.

Considering the lack of cultural and entertainment projects in this world, Shen Sen also deliberately organized thousands of grassroots theatrical performance teams, as well as open-air film and television projection teams, ready to cover the major cities and towns in the empire, from the inside to the outside, showing the strength and prosperity of the Star Empire in all aspects.

At the same time, in order to have fun with the people, stimulate the vitality of the masses, increase enthusiasm and enhance participation, the public servants who organized this activity also carried out propaganda in the streets and alleys. On the premise that the currency reform was not completed, temporary vouchers were distributed to everyone, and performers of all races in the fantasy world were encouraged to participate in the performance.

In support, the stars will provide them with a stage and give them more generous material rewards for participating in the show.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

As the news spread, all the grassroots people fell into a carnival. Small traders and vendors from various cities and villages take to the streets to cook local specialties and sell them to tourists at special stalls.

At the same time, there are also troupes performing sub-human acrobatics, adventurers who show martial arts, elves who perform songs, and bards who recite long poems. The streets and alleys are crowded with people, a prosperous and lively scene.

In this festival, the people can eat barbecue bread that was previously only eaten by noble lords, and drink various delicious drinks of the Star Empire.

The grassroots people who have been living in the Middle Ages feel as if they are living in a dream and living in heaven, and the world can be so beautiful.

If it's a beautiful dream, then they want it to last.

For the first time in more than a decade, everyone smiled from the bottom of their hearts and felt alive for the first time. This era of chaos and darkness has become a thing of the past in this carnival.

In the Star Lantern Festival, the psychological pressure of the people who have been exploited for many years is gradually released, and the people's sense of belonging to the new empire grows at an incredible rate.

Especially when night comes, the stars are vast, the universe is deep, and the earth is brightly lit.

Countless red and yellow decorations are hung high, exquisite lanterns are like stars in the sky, dotted among the crowds, and all the streets become extremely festive and peaceful at this moment, which makes people can't help but fall into excitement.

This joy was even transmitted to several beautiful women who had just arrived on Itarica Street.

"Wow, those lights are so beautiful, the Star Lantern Festival is really lively!"

Percia, a cat-man girl who took off her work clothes and changed into her daily clothes, was bouncing down the clean and spacious streets of Itarica, with an excited expression on her face.

Leilai, the blue-haired girl who was walking with her, looked at the lively scene around her, all kinds of shops, and was affected by the festive scenes around her, and unconsciously showed a smile.

Itarica, the city where the stars have been stationed for the longest time, has also been the most affected and has prospered far more than other Imperial cities.

At the same time, her heart was full of emotion, and most of the people she had seen before had only numbness and pain in their eyes. And now their eyes are full of joy and hope for the future.

Only such a stark contrast made her realize what had changed in the Star Empire.

The cat girl turned to the others and said excitedly: "What are we going to do now, eat delicious food, or go to the show, or let's guess the lantern riddle, I want to get the prize!" ”

"Get the prize, with your strength, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" Her companion, Mamina, the maid of the Headhunter Rabbit Clan, smiled evilly.

The blonde elflin's proposal interrupted the frolic that the two were about to begin, and said, "Why don't we have something to eat, let's go outside the city and set off fireworks." ”

"Okay!" As soon as she heard the fireworks, the cat girl immediately gave up her plan to guess the lantern riddle.

Then a few people walked the streets of the town, shuttling through various stalls and acrobatic troupes, eating all kinds of food and drinking strange drinks.

Everyone's faces unconsciously smiled like the people around them, even if they rarely smiled at Lei Lai.

About twenty minutes later, they walked out of the main city and walked towards the outer city, hearing that today's fireworks display would be held in the plains outside the city.

Just as they walked to the exit of the outer city, a lonely woman not far away caught their attention.

The woman has long bright red hair, a slender figure, and holds a white lantern with orange brilliance in her hand.

"Princess Pinna?"

The woman slowly turned her head, and sure enough, it was the third princess of the empire, Pinna.

Several people were stunned at the moment, seeing the former imperial princess and the current colleagues, they didn't know what kind of emotions to comfort each other.

"Pinna, why are you here alone?" The blonde goblin looked at the slightly lonely figure in front of him, and thought that his relatives and friends were no longer alive, and he felt a little empathy.

After Pinna saw a few people, there was nothing unusual, she slowly turned around, and said with a reluctant smile, "It's nothing, I'm just putting lanterns here." ”

"That's good, you ...... It's okay. "It's always bad to cause other people to be sad, and the blonde elf doesn't know what to say at this point.

But she felt that at this moment, Pinna and the three princesses of the empire she had met before had undergone earth-shaking changes, faded away from impetuousness and delicateness, and the whole person was cold and elegant.

Call~

A gentle breeze blew through and the surrounding trees made a rustling sound.

After seeing the white lantern, the others didn't say anything, just quietly waited for the moment to put the lantern.

The time came unhurriedly to ten o'clock in the evening, and at this time the entire imperial border was brightly lit. After a few loud announcements, everyone stopped the carnival and looked up at the sky, waiting for the arrival of a new era.

It's just in time!

Woohoo!

Countless huge fireworks burst into the sky with colorful light.

Bang bang bang!

With the loud sound of the thunderbolt bar, the fireworks exploded instantly, and colorful flames burst into the air.

Dazzling fireworks and flowers illuminated the dark sky and the people on the earth.

Everyone watched the beautiful fireworks display in the sky, raised their hands and shouted to their heart's content, full of excited smiles, hissing and cheering, cheering for the arrival of a new era.

On the plains, Pinna, the third princess of the old empire, carefully released a white lantern into the sky, watching it become an embellishment in the dark world.

"Father, the era ruled by you has come to an end, and as your descendant, I will witness the dawn of a new era in your place."
