People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Then the girl fell into silence again, as if she was thinking about something, and after a moment she slowly said:

"...Let's go back, the celebration party is about to begin."

65. Kaliya’s Carnival (3K)

At night, the bright moonlight shines from the sky, but what it reflects is not tranquility and peace.

At this time, the Kaliya Walled City was bustling with activity.

Located on the Central Avenue, there are rows of wooden tables, surrounded by crowds of people. On the tables are placed a variety of exquisite delicacies, in addition to the meat of various beasts, there are also freshly caught lobster meat and crabs. Eggs, and even spirits that I didn’t usually drink were now on the table.

Tonight is a carnival for them, and even more so for Kaliya.

Just to celebrate the victory of the battle between Moon and Star.

Originally, Lani's intention was to arrange the venue at the royal moon viewing area, where the scenery would be more beautiful.

But everyone refused.

After all, they are just a bunch of rough guys who don't know anything about romance. If they dirty the moon viewing area, they will be scolded by the old guys from the royal family.

I simply moved here.

Not only is the scenery equally beautiful and accompanied by a little starlight, it is also easy to clean up.

The most important thing is that the mountain monsters, humans, and the Platinum Sons can actually get together and drink at the same table. It is the rarest thing in the border area.

It is estimated that it is difficult to see it anywhere else except here.

However, what Reinhard cared about was not this, but the food and wine placed on the table.

"I didn't expect Her Highness Lani to be so generous, even taking out her own collection..."

"Of course! In order to celebrate today's victory, this is a special reward from Her Royal Highness the Princess! You have to get drunk today!"

An unknown strong man next to him reached out and patted him on the shoulder, as if the two brothers were getting close to each other, and it was not like they were meeting for the first time at all.

According to Kalia's words -

Now that we are here, everyone is friends and there is no need to be reserved.

There is no distinction of race here.

Just like Michaela's sacred tree in the future, everything is equal, just like a paradise.

But Reinhardt didn't care about this, he only cared about the jug of wine.

I originally thought that the fruit wine I tasted in Menqian Town was a peerless delicacy, but now something even more delicious has appeared.

Especially when you first pour the wine into the pot, the amber transparent liquid and the rich aroma of wine...

Damn, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Since coming to the junction, he has not developed any other hobbies, but he has developed a strong interest in the wine in the junction.

Nothing else, just because it's so delicious.

Perhaps because there is no industrial pollution or unscrupulous merchants in the border area, the drinks brewed are particularly sweet, with the original aroma of fruits.

The pot in front of me is said to be brewed from the dew on the night dew Hepa grass and carefully selected golden roja fruits. I don't know if it is true or not. Anyway, it is said that it is a drink that only Queen Kallia is qualified to taste.

"Loyal warriors..."

Suddenly, a voice from the front caught everyone's attention. The originally noisy venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the main seat.

I saw Lani sitting on a chair, raising the wine glass in her hand and declaring loudly:

"....In the name of the Calian royal family [Moon Princess] Rani, and on behalf of my mother [Full Moon Queen] Lenara, I would like to thank you. It is because of your heroic fighting that we can protect the land under our feet and protect it. Our home.”

A slightly cold voice echoed on Central Avenue.

This was not because Lani was pretending to be cold, but because her temperament was like this. Everyone had already been familiar with it, so they didn't pay much attention to it, but quietly listened to their queen's speech.

“...The first glass of wine is to pay homage to the fallen warriors.

It is because of their sacrifice that our homeland has been saved. "

Lani tilted the wine glass in her hand slightly, and the full wine poured down immediately, slowly pouring the wine on the ground like calligraphy and painting characters.

The water droplets that bounced off the ground soaked the hem of her skirt, but Lani didn't care until all the wine in the glass was poured out.

Then he took another cup from Blazer's hand, but this cup looked a few circles smaller than the one just now, and it was more delicate, with lifelike patterns carved on it.

"...Second glass of wine, thank you for your bravery!

It is precisely because of your bravery that we have Kallia today. "

Lani slowly brought the cup to her lips, tilted her head slightly and drank it in one gulp, then handed it back to Blazer, took a new cup, and held it up again.

"...On the third glass of wine, may Kalia be blessed by the stars and live forever like the full moon!"

"Great, Kalia!"

Everyone responded in unison, imitating Lani, raising the glass high, and then drank it all.

"Let's get started! Tonight is your feast, your carnival."

After receiving Lani's order, the banquet immediately became filled with cheers, drinks, and meat grabbing.

As if venting the pressure accumulated over the past few days, the voices of laughter and curses that had been absent from the house suddenly returned.

Even Dariwell, a hound knight, took off part of his helmet and mask, picked up his wine glass and drank heavily.

"It seems like I haven't seen this scene for a long time..."

Looking at the lively scene in front of her, Lani thought so, with a little relief in her eyes reflecting the stars, and a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.

But then, she cast her gaze into the distance, as if looking through the thick city wall at the royal territory being repaired in front of her, at the north bank, and at the entire Lienia.

Tonight is not only to celebrate Kalia's victory in this war and let everyone vent their inner pressure, but also to test the magic academy.

Test whether they really retreat and whether they will come back.

For this reason, she deliberately removed the patrols of the city defense, leaving only the repaired defensive magic.

But now it seems that she may be worrying too much.

The army of the Magic Academy has indeed retreated, with no intention of coming back. At least until now, her insiders have not sent her any news.

"It seems that I really worry too much..."

Such words echoed quietly in the air, and were quickly covered up by the noise of the crowd.

And Lani's figure disappeared quietly.

...

It was approaching midnight and the carnival was not over yet. Everyone was still drinking heavily, as if they wanted to drink up all the wine in the city.

Reinhardt, who had already drunk eight or nine people, quietly left the noisy banquet. In order to find a quiet place, he sneaked out with the so-called treasured wine.

He managed to get this from several people's lips. It would be a pity not to taste such a good thing.

So he wandered to the city wall alone.

Feeling the night wind blowing in the face, the drunken dizziness seemed to subside a little.

At the same time, he also met a more unexpected person.

"Your Highness Lani...Oh no, it's Lani."

Hearing the call, Lani slowly turned her head and looked at him curiously: "Is the banquet over?"

"No." Reinhardt shook his head. Although he was a little drunk, he became more sober when he saw Lani.

"Then why did you come out?"

"Of course it's too noisy and I want some peace and quiet." Reinhardt shrugged, "Just like you, Lani."

In response, Lani just smiled slightly and didn't say anything, nor did she intend to explain. Instead, she patted the battlements in the same way as before, "In that case, come and sit."

"Um..."

Reinhard nodded, slowly climbed up while holding on to the city wall, and sat there.

The wind here was stronger than behind the battlements, but it was also cooler and more comfortable, which made him make a sound of relief.

As for Lani, looking at him, she seemed to have thought of something. She reached out her little hand behind her back, turned over it, and handed an object to him.

"...gave it to you."

"Flowers?" He looked at the small yellow flowers in Lani's hand with confusion, swaying like ears of wheat in the evening breeze, then raised his head and looked at Lani: "Your Highness, is this not appropriate? Send me flowers. ? According to common sense, shouldn’t I send you off?”

I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol, but I’m a little more courageous.

But she received a blank look from Lani.

"...I just picked this up on the way back..."

This is obviously a lie. He came back with Lani. Why didn't he see anything picked up on the road?

And this kind of golden flower is not from Liyenia at first glance. Only the flowers on the Yatan Plateau can be as golden as the golden tree.

However, Lani didn't pay attention to his weird look at all, but continued to ask: "Do you know the name of this flower?"

"I don't know." He shook his head decisively.

He really didn't recognize him, but he looked familiar.

"This is the Atas flower... It is said that in the era before the golden tree, they were flowers used for funerals. They are very similar to your law, so I picked them up."

Like a knowledgeable wise man, he answered it carefully.

"Oh, that is indeed suitable for me. Thanks to Her Highness Lani for the gift, I will accept it without mercy."

He decisively accepted the Atas flower, and even though he was talking about it, there was no reason to refuse.

The most important thing is that it is used for funerals, and it is from the era before the golden tree, so it must be very suitable for me.

"When I find one that suits you, I will give you one too."

As he spoke, he carefully collected the flowers.

"Oh? Flowers that suit me...What kind of flowers do you think is more suitable for me?"

After saying this, Lani suddenly became interested.

"Well... of course it is the kind of flower that looks very cold on the outside, but very warm on the inside. It looks majestic on the surface, but is actually very gentle and lovely..." Reinhardt thought for a while and gave this answer. an answer.
