Chapter 591: Magic

The Hall of Abundance, a huge building of whimsy.

Its biggest feature is that there are no walls, doors and windows, and the whole irregularly shaped ceiling with countless beautiful crystal chandeliers is supported by slender arches on the edge of the hall and embossed with legends.

In contrast, the slender columns and the roof that can envelop an entire tiny manor house give a crumbling feeling, but in fact, the overall structure of this splendid building, carefully calculated and designed by the famous architect Fenzas, is completely in line with the principles of mechanics, and has stood in the vice-capital of the Catamane city-state for hundreds of years.

And if nothing else, it will continue to exist in the foreseeable future.

Walking through the scattered crowd on the rough stone slabs, Zhang Lisheng found that the closer he got to the brightly lit and resplendent hall where thousands of decent people from the Heinheimand city-state had gathered at this time, the more sparse the flow of people became.

Within twenty paces, the young man's side was almost empty, he realized something, and was about to take out the invitation card from his coat pocket, when he was suddenly stopped by a warrior not far away, wearing a heavy armor with his head wrapped in an iron mask, and who had been motionless like a statue.

The warrior was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the face of Yaji, who was walking behind the young man and dressed as a cloud fairy, and immediately silently retreated back to his original position, turning into a sculpture again.

"Ms. Yaji, it seems that you saved me the process of presenting the invitation," Zhang Lisheng looked around, calculated in his heart, and deduced that there were at least more than a thousand 'warrior statues' around the hall. He kept looking back at the businesswoman, "Are these real heavy warriors, or are they fake characters?"

"They are all elite soldiers of the Heinheimman City Defense, true heavy armor warriors, although they have no spell casting ability, but they have far more strength and physical strength than ordinary people," replied Aki, "It is customary for the city defense army to take the place of the sheriff during the New Year to perform their duties and maintain order in the city. ”

"It's no wonder that everyone is well-behaved in such a grand carnival, and such a heavily armored warrior is much more intimidating than a sheriff. Zhang Lisheng said and walked into the Hall of Prosperity from between the two columns, and the businesswoman naturally followed.

I have to say that the Golden Velvet Firm does have an extraordinary influence in 'Heinheimman'. Aki had just appeared in the brightly lit hall. was noticed, and a few of them came up with a smile and greeted them, "Miss Yaji." The cloud fairy you dressed up today is really beautiful...";

"Yagi, you're finally here. I was just thinking about it. What a pity it would be if you were not in the first round of the New Year's celebration in the Hall of Plenty...";

"Miss Jackie, though it is very inappropriate for me to say this on this occasion. But I've heard that because of your brother's speculation on the French War bonds, there is a little problem with the liquidity of the 'Golden Velvet'...".

The speakers are either genuinely cordial or ill-intentioned, but they are all faced with the same calm attitude of the businesswoman.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lisheng on the side pursed his lips and smiled silently, left Yaji and walked to the dining table to get some food and wine, walked to the edge of the hall with the dining plate, and sat down on a sofa near the pillar.

After a while, in the middle of the moon, the sky was filled with silver brilliance through the round hole in the center of the ceiling of the hall and sprinkled a round golden ball suspended in the air.

At this time, almost all the decent people and dignitaries in the city had gathered in the Hall of Wealth, and saw the golden ball in mid-air began to rotate slowly under the drive of the moonlight, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe embroidered with nine shining gold stars, holding a slender black wand in his hand, and a pot-bellied poop walked quickly under the golden ball, and the staff in his hand slammed hard.

In an instant, a loud bang and a glow of red light and rising red smoke silenced the noisy hall.

"Ahem, ahem... I told me it wasn't a good idea to pretend to be a 'Glauce Magister,' but my butler just wouldn't listen. A whining voice came out of the smoke, not grandiose, but magically sent into everyone's ears, and immediately caused a joyful laughter.

The smoke slowly cleared, and the fat blue-robed figure appeared, smiling and looking around, stretching out his hand to make a silent motion, and in an instant, the entire rich hall suddenly became clear and audible even the sound of steel needles falling to the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Heinheimman' and distinguished guests from other places, please allow me to wish you all a happy new year in advance...", the blue-robed man said endlessly.

Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting on the sofa, saw that everyone was standing and listening, stood up and looked around, found a girl who looked the most kind, and asked in a low voice: "Beautiful young lady, can you tell me who is speaking?"

"Lord Sayero Bunch, the most powerful and wise ruler in the history of the city-state of Heinheimman, don't you even know him?" the girl glanced at the young man's black hair and showed a look of disgust, but fortunately answered the question.

"Oh, it turns out that he is my first 'big prey'..."Zhang Lisheng nodded in relief, and while he muttered to himself, the blue-robed man announced loudly: "... The Spring Festival celebration begins, so please jump to your heart's content..."

The voice of the lord of the city-state of Heinheimman landed, and the cheerful dance music immediately resounded throughout the hall, and then accompanied by the joyful dance of thousands of people, it swirled and rose in the sky over the entire city.

The first is a few rounds of group dances;

This was followed by a spectacular vaudeville show;

Then all the young men and women who had reached the age of sixteen in the wealthy merchant family of Heinheimmann City performed the first formal ballroom dance in their lives with their heads held high under the loving eyes of their fathers;

After a few rounds of group dancing, the best parade carriage election with a lively atmosphere slowly kicked off.

Time flies by in a series of 'shows' that are both compact and interesting.

Finally, in the anticipation of the early hours of the morning, when two great carriages, one in a thousand miles and beautiful, slowly drove into the Hall of Riches amid cheers, the Lord of Heinheimmann uttered the last declaration of the celebration, "I declare that this year's honorable Lady of the Sea, Her Majesty Tinaros, and her most beloved constituent, His Majesty Bourbonde, are:

The Ferry Comptoir's procession carriage 'Blue Dream' and the El Lodge Comptoir's procession-drawn carriage 'The Authority of the Seas' are now invited to board the limousine, His Majesty the Poseidon and her esteemed electorate, His Majesty Bourbonde. ”

Then, amid the cheers that resounded through the night sky, a blue-haired beauty in a long tulle aqua blue dress with an outstanding demeanor and a tall man with a slender pectoral muscles that looked like they were about to explode with only a black skin embroidered with waves, and a tight leather pants like fish scales underneath made a sacred gesture and strode towards the carriage.

Even if they were just two low-status 'actors', where these two people passed, everyone still bowed respectfully and curtsied.

Zhang Lisheng looked at the undulating crowd in the rich hall that seemed to be a wheat field that had fallen in a strong wind, and showed a strange smile, and suddenly heard someone next to him say happily: "Mr. Li Sheng, it turns out that you have been hiding here, looking at your leisurely appearance, you haven't danced a single dance, right?"

"I'm not interested in dancing, Serinya," replied the young man without turning his head, and before he could finish his words, his arm was grabbed, and a soft voice sounded in his ears, "Please call me Serinya, I don't want my identity to be known to all the Heinheiman people." ”

"Of course. Zhang Lishengyuan looked at the carriage that drove out of the hall and nodded indifferently.

"Mr. Li Sheng, it's just a pretend ceremony, and it's not as interesting as the clown's fire-breathing show just now, I really don't understand why your idea is so appealing.

There were also many young scholars in my father's court, but none of them were as wooden as yours.

See, I've just made some new friends, and several of them 'nobles' have heard of your legend and have great admiration for you," continued to whisper to Princess Fran, when suddenly she saw that most of the candles on the ceiling had gone out, and the light had suddenly dimmed.

At the same time, the round golden ball hanging in the center of the hall began to scatter and emit countless slender rays of light, intertwined into three-dimensional patterns, and after a while, it showed the scene of two huge carriages, one blue and one black, galloping through the streets.

"This kind of clarity and three-dimensional sense is not worse than the Atlantean people's 'light energy projector', it seems that I really underestimate the civilization level of these landers..."Looking at the aerial image, Zhang Lisheng couldn't help frowning and muttering, and the princess Fran beside him was like a country girl, and couldn't help but blurt out: "This should be 'strategic reconnaissance magic'."

In other words, the caster is an archmage of at least level fourteen, and then to display the magic so magnificently, at least one sub-holy alchemy item is needed, just for a celebration, really, really extravagant..."

Under the irrepressible exclamations of the VIPs and the proud gaze of the wealthy merchants of Heinheimmann City, the carriage in the golden ball projection galloped around the city's main arterial roads, and was sent out of the city gate by the cheers and shouts of the whole city.

After leaving the city, along a quiet path lined with huge torches more than two meters high on both sides, the two carriages galloped for a while, and the speed of 'da-da' slowed down to the edge of a cliff and slowly stopped.

At this moment, the entire ceiling of the hall showed a huge and incomparable always, pointing the time to twenty-three fifty o'clock.

At this moment, the guests who were lavish about the 'Heinheimman' had no time to marvel, and everyone watched intently at the projection in the middle of the clock, under the bright moonlight and the shaking firelight, the young men and women who played the role of the god of the sea and the emperor jumped out of the carriage, one holding a golden scepter, the other holding a trident, took off the torch inserted next to the carriage door, and climbed to the cliff one after the other.
