The weather at the end of November was bitterly cold, and no one would be surprised that even a blizzard would hit right now, even though the snow season in Thunder City was still a month away.

According to Anne, from this time on, the number of poor people in the old city will slowly begin to decrease, peaking in the month after the New Year, and it will not stop the momentum of the dead until spring blossoms. And her ice water stall has already been changed back to a charcoal shop early.

Colin woke up from the warm room with the fireplace, washed up, and changed into the new clothes that his sister had specially prepared yesterday.

A knee-length black single-breasted gown lined with animal skin, fine-spun cotton-cotton breeches, and long boots.

At seven o'clock in the morning, several people who had eaten breakfast went out together.

Tessa takes Colin to the King's Quarter in a carriage driven by Bob, while Mrs. Muller takes three other servants to the Garden District to wait to watch King Alan IV's procession—on this special day, Roman Sagan gives everyone a day off, leaving the entire Mage Tower with him and the not-so-boisterous Knight of Glenn.

"Senior sister, why don't we join Mrs. Müller and them?" Colin constantly twisted his body to accommodate the discomfort of the expensive dress.

"We need to parade with His Majesty on behalf of the teacher, in previous years it was just me, and there was no one to talk to."

Tessa pressed Colin's shoulder to prevent him from twisting: "Don't move, this suit is like this, bear with it, you can throw it away after today." ”

"Thrown?"

"This is a hanging gown worn on important occasions, and you can't wear it a second time." Tessa said as she continued to tidy up the folds of Colin's messed up clothes.

"But who can tell I'm wearing it a second time?" Colin wasn't reluctant - the dress was anti-human, but it wasn't to throw it away, and it wasn't next year's king's birthday.

"Anyone can see it but you." Tessa didn't bother to explain to him, and kept stopping the little junior brother from writhing around.

……

The procession departed from the palace gates, followed the King's Avenue through the Garden District, then entered the Mage's District from the main roads of the Canal District and the Artisan Quarter, and finally returned to the Royal Palace.

The king's carriage was the size of a house and was pulled by a giant thunderbolt.

The Thunder Elephant got its name because it screamed like thunder, but its personality was relatively docile among all the large monsters, and after domestication, it was able to act as a strong laborer.

It's just that because of the large amount of food, the entire Tulun kingdom only raises such a head.

In the second car sat the Duke of Violet, the carriage was one size smaller, and the one pulling the cart had also become an iron-backed rhinoceros.

In the third car was an elderly man, and Colin didn't see what he could see.

Tessa and Colin are in the fourth, and like the third, they are both towed by two unicorns.

The further back they went, the smaller the convoy became, until it eventually became a normal carriage.

The parade is majestic.

The streets were crowded with people, cheering and throwing flowers and drinks, and Colin didn't know if it was specially arranged.

"Who's in that car in front of you?"

"Boyce Hawthorn." Tessa sighed slightly when she said the name.

Colin was taken aback.

Boyce Hawthorn.

Alan IV's uncle and grandfather, one of the four magisters of the Tulum kingdom, and the oldest.

The 155-year-old Magister lives in the palace all year round and rarely shows up.

According to the teacher, the Magister still can't escape the law of time, and Beuys Hawthorn has basically closed his eyes and waited for death because he was injured too much and too seriously when he was young.

However, in Colin's opinion, the oldest magister in the Tulum Kingdom was not as weak as he imagined, although he turned his back to him and was far away, he was not much different from the teacher in terms of his actions and behavior.

Colin didn't have time to think about it, for the convoy had already entered the garden area, and he had seen Mrs. Muller and Kelly and several other mage tower servants.

At first, he was afraid of breaking the etiquette and did not dare to say hello, but when he saw his senior sister waving, he also waved to Mrs. Muller and others who were standing on the side of the road.

By the time they entered the Canal Zone, the speed of the convoy had increased significantly, and the number of people on both sides had increased dramatically, and it was already crowded, and Colin noticed that Duke Violet and Boyce Hawthorn in front of him had sat down and relaxed himself - it was not a pleasant experience to be seen like a sculpture.

The next moment.

Colin saw a large head waving at him.

Roy, Jennifer, and Anne all huddled in the crowd, happily watching the lively parade of floats.

Colin was secretly ashamed.

He hadn't looked for these old friends for a long time because he was so focused on magic, and the last time he wanted to see Anne, he was in vain because he forgot the other party's schedule.

Although teachers and sisters care about themselves and are no different from relatives, there are many words that can only be communicated between friends.

He missed how easy it was when he bragged to Roy about the guns.

However, now that he is on the rise, he has not brought any benefits to his friends. thinks that when he was the most depressed, Roy could be called a righteous and squandered money for him.

Unfortunately, the convoy was moving too fast, and Colin only had time to wave his hand to them, and then staggered.

……

It took a full four hours for the convoy to return to the gate of the palace, and Colin was already a little unable to stand, and admired in his heart that Alan IV, who was neither a magician nor a knight, could hold out for so long—to say that His Majesty was still so fat—and glanced at the holy Colin from a distance, and said a little in his heart.

The daytime ceremonies were tiring, and after the procession, the king had to address the people in the central square of the Canal Zone.

It was the first initiative of Alan IV to celebrate his birthday as a holiday, but it was not that the king was so narcissistic, it was just that he advanced the New Year's process by more than a month, after all, it was too cold at that time, and everyone had their own things to do.

By the end of the day, Colin had completely lost his comprehension of what the king was saying, and his mind habitually began to practice building various spell models—as long as he didn't meditate, this practice didn't consume one hour of cultivation time a day.

Practicing building a spell model can effectively increase the casting speed, but the power of the spell will not increase because the mental power does not increase.

Finally.

After all the processes were over, even Tessa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, the most tiring time of the year has finally passed."

"Isn't there a concert in the evening?" Colin asked.

"The concert is not tiring, it is the perfect enjoyment to repair the fatigue of the day." Tessa closed her eyes slightly, as if she had heard melodious music.

"It's all tiring for me." Colin was slandered in his heart.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Senior sister, why didn't the teacher attend His Majesty's celebration, I see that even His Excellency Orlando and Ms. Michelle attended." ”

Fabian Orlando;

Winifred Michelle;

It was the other two mages of the Tulum kingdom who, for the king's celebration, returned from the Eternal Song Forest, thousands of miles away, and the other walked out of the mage tower that had been in retreat for half a year.

However, Roman Sagan, who has always been idle in Colin's opinion, would rather stay at home and smoke than show his face at the celebration, and he is also known as a close friend and staunchest supporter of His Majesty.

Tessa smiled: "The reason why His Excellency Boyce Hawthorn is present is to tell the world that he is still alive, including the other two Demon Masters, as well as Duke Violet and others, His Majesty is proving to the world that Tulum is not afraid of any provocation. ”

"What about the teacher?" Colin asked.

Tessa smiled: "The teacher did not attend, it is His Majesty who is proving to the world that Tulum has the will for peace." ”
