Chapter 200: A Celebration of Thanksgiving

December 24, 4123 A.D., Thanksgiving Day. Once upon a time, on the seventh day before every new year, farmers in the southern part of Atlantus would celebrate this time with a unique ceremony to thank Is, the god of nature, for his blessing and hope for continued good weather and abundant crops in the coming year.

In the beginning, it was a small activity organized by farmers in their villages, but gradually it spread to a wider area and a wider range of industries, with fishermen worshipping the water god Siran and miners worshipping the earth god Paken on this day. For the people, this is actually a rare moment of celebration after a year of hard work, and it is also a vision and blessing for the new year. Slowly, this day began to be known as the Day of Thanksgiving.

As time passed, the festival gradually moved from the villages of the slang people to the castles of the noble lords, and some rulers who wanted to take the opportunity to show their "love" for the people began to organize a grand ceremony in the official form, hoping to gain the favor of the gods. As a result, this festival initiated by ordinary people gradually became more and more solemn, and eventually became an official festival in many countries, so that it gradually had the momentum to catch up with the festival of light.

As the new lord of the city and province, Alice will of course take this opportunity to get close to the people and show her image of being close to the people, and she will certainly attend this ceremony. But this is the people's festival, and Alice must leave the castle and go to Victory Square in the center of the city to participate, and I am afraid that the assassins sent by Queen Dosie have been waiting for this time.

And the bad thing happened, at the end of this quiet year, a group of evil dragons suddenly appeared and began to attack people everywhere, "mutilate" living creatures, and loot treasures. Burning houses, destroying buildings, doing all kinds of evil. That's not a good sign.

Although Princess Alice had publicly ordered a few days ago to compensate the people in her territory who had been harmed by the dragon and help them rebuild their homes, this was not a long-term solution. Moreover, the rumors that these dragons were caused by Princess Alice's unclean soul being the source of calamity, and similar negative rumors are spreading, which also makes the people who do not know the truth even more uneasy.

Due to the sheer difficulty of the security job, poor Evan decided to blend in with a team of Praetorian Knights disguised as civilians in search of possible killers. But he soon discovered that it was another glorious and difficult task, for there were still two hours before the ceremony. The square was filled with people. In this overcrowded place, it was very difficult to move a single step, so Evan quickly lost contact with his subordinates.

The reason for the popularity of this thanksgiving celebration is actually very simple.

The attraction of beauties is huge, not to mention that three beauties will appear at the same time. Since childhood, Alice's beauty has been stunning. After adulthood, her beauty is even more undoubted, and she has even become famous in the Violet Continent in the past two years. Fascinating. If it weren't for Linya, she has suddenly attracted a lot of attention in the past six months. Alice is definitely the number one beauty on the Violet Continent.

It's a pity that a beautiful woman is a princess, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to see it. But now there is such an opportunity, Princess Alice, known as the Blue Star, Princess Linya, known as the Golden Rose, and Queen Cyryl, who has long been famous on the Atlantic continent. The appearance of such a beautiful combination is a more important and wonderful moment for men than the Thanksgiving Festival.

Look at the beauties to go!

Ten o'clock in the morning. A large number of guards began to pour out of the castle, splitting the crowd along the Lu River Bridge. When the legendary Blue Star Princess Alice finally appeared in people's sights, the crowd began to spread like a wave.

Under the sun. The colorful light of the bright star dazzles people like a colorful little sun, with long blue hair and a snow-white winter dress, this rumored princess is simply as beautiful as the legendary goddess of light, Yilan! And the equally beautiful little Linya, who is dressed in a blonde hair and golden dress, snuggles up to her left hand side like a human bird, and Queen Hilyl, who is bright red like a passionate flame on her right hand, the two are like stars holding the moon, and they set off Princess Alice in the middle, a miracle that can no longer be described in words and words. No, obviously I'm the moon, okay, in order to set off today's protagonist, Linya has put away her wings and can't steal the show.

The men desperately stood on tiptoe to look at the beautiful combination that was slowly coming, this beautiful and delicious beauty did not live up to those rumors. And then...... It's just some kind of fantasy......

Looking at the dense crowd in the square, with tens of thousands of eyes like fire, Alice even hesitated and feared. Linya is not used to this kind of big scene. Only Cyril was used to it, and she squeezed Alice's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Alice. Keep your chest up and move forward confidently. Beauty is your greatest capital and pride, let everyone bow down under your golden silk skirt!"

The agitation of the crowd intensified, and the soldiers managed to keep the passage open with all their might. The noble lords who came to watch the ceremony on both sides continued to join, and the procession of the celebration continued to expand.

Alice and her party finally made their way through the crowd to the statue of Ylang in the center of the square, everyone knelt down and saluted, and the priest of light from the temple finally announced the beginning of the celebration. Because it is a folk festival, the main body of the festival is also the civilians who came from all over the world, and they started their carnival in the square.

Similar to the folk festivals on earth, people perform and compete in their own way, wearing their best clothes, painting the most brilliant colors, singing and dancing to their heart's content, making even Linya feel the urge to show off her voice.

Cockfighting, bull riding, all kinds of lanterns, boating, fishing competitions, all have fun. Of course, Alice and the others could not sit still, and after worshipping the god of light, they had to go around the square to worship the four gods in turn, offer sacrifices, thank you for the blessings, and pray for the coming year.

This is certainly a dangerous journey. The guards were all nervous. Lest an assassin pop up from the crowd on either side. Fortunately, this kind of thing never happened, and it seems that this tight defense still made the killers a little scared.

However, after this journey of more than two hours, Linya's feet were sore, and she felt sorry for this pampered body. Alice and Cyril seem to be okay though.

Finally back in front of the huge statue of the goddess of light in the center of the square, Linya no longer had the freshness she had before, and just wanted to find a chair to rest quickly. Alice stepped onto the platform, drew a glowing longsword from the beautifully decorated scabbard at her waist, and raised it high. The crowd around quickly quieted down.

"It's supposed to be a great day to celebrate, but I think everybody knows that. Those things about the evil dragon that killed the people. What I'm here to tell you today is that don't be afraid, don't believe the rumors, these dragons are not scary. It is not invincible! Today, we are going to fight against it. Destroy it!"

Defeat the dragon? The crowd around was a little stunned. Then there was a buzz. Is it because the rumors about dragons are related to her?

It's almost time. Linya quietly began to infuse the dragon scales with magical power, and struck it four times, which was a pre-arranged action code.

"Your Highness Alice, you, what are you talking about, you are going to kill the dragon?" Duke Darren said in surprise.

"Isn't the dragon scary, do you dare to kill it?" someone in the crowd screamed with mockery.

"Yes. Uncle. Alice ignored the provocative guy, "Just half a month ago, Her Majesty Queen Hillyl killed a fire dragon with her own hands. Many people have seen it with their own eyes. ”

"You are the rumored queen in red who slayed the dragon?" Duke Darren was taken aback again, and hurriedly saluted Cyrill.

"That's right, it's the heroic masterpiece of our great Cyrill daughter, Your Majesty!" said Huston triumphantly.

"No, no, no, but that's just a fluke. Queen Cyryl bowed in return, and said modestly, but it was tantamount to admitting. Then he took the initiative to salute the crowd around him, but his face was full of pride that could not be concealed. The experience of killing a giant dragon still makes her feel like she is in a dream, and even wakes up laughing in her sleep.

"Just her? Isn't she a fire magician? How can she kill a fire dragon? Use her big murder weapon?

Whenever she thinks that her title of dragon slayer princess has been snatched away by this hateful Cyryl, Linya will be resentful, but at this time, she can't help but stand up and say something. "I am Linya Rantis Sevia, the princess of the Red Leaf Empire and the crown prince of the Kingdom of Sachchenia. I swear by my honor, it's true. The evil dragon attacked my fleet, and it was Her Majesty Queen Cyril who killed the dragon with a sword at the critical moment, and I was saved. I can attest to all this, because that's what I and my soldiers saw with our own eyes. ”

"Oh, that's the case!" the crowd grew noisy again, and the discussion shifted to the topic of dragons.

In fact, Alice knew that it was difficult to make others really believe in this, and she had been afraid of the power of the dragons for a long time, and she had not seen it with her own eyes. In fact, even she herself was still a little confused, but she couldn't help but believe Linya's words, Linya had no reason to lie to herself.

"We must not allow this evil creature to continue to harm our people, so I have decided to go and destroy this creature myself, its lair has been found, and if there are warriors willing to go with us, they can set off with us. The time is tomorrow morning. Alice exclaimed loudly again, and at this moment, she suddenly felt that she had a kind of royal courage.

"Is she really going?"

"Is she really crazy about such a dangerous thing?"

"Your Highness Alice, why did you go yourself, just send the other knights. Duke Darren also hurriedly persuaded that Princess Alice was now a magic weapon for the northern elite group to compete with the south, and it was not a good idea to get into danger easily.

But at this moment, an incomparably loud dragon roar came from afar, and then another one.

In the distance, a black and a green shadow appeared.

Looks like you don't have to look for them. Here they are. (To be continued......)
