Chapter 869: The Spring Festival is coming
The turmoil on the border has nothing to do with Wende City, and the towns south of Wende City do not feel the turmoil on the border, and only the people who live in Wende City are slightly aware of it.
But only for things like the recent increase in carriages heading north, and the increase in carriages between other towns and Windtown.
Wende City is the last line of defense after the three fortresses on the border of the Duchy of Sorrow, but it will never be attacked until the defense line consisting of the three fortresses is breached.
So on weekdays, Wende City plays the role of a 'transit station'!
All supplies pass through Winder City before being transported to the three forts on the border.
After the Great Wall is built, some of the supplies will go into the fortress warehouse as a reserve, and the rest will be transported to the garrison of the Great Wall.
Thankfully, the last time the Potts knights escorted the elves back to the Starry and Moonlight Forest, they had already placed a few 'Shadow Mirrors' they were carrying, so that they no longer had to communicate in the outdated form of letters.
The elves hate 'magic', but the current elven kings know that if they continue like this, they will be abandoned by the times, and if they do not have enough strength to protect themselves, then no matter how many times, they will be relegated to the mercy of others.
In fact, the magic energy machinery is in line with the dilemma they are facing now, and if they can be put to good use, it is very likely that the elves will once again appear on the stage of the continent and shine.
Because they were aware of something, all the soldiers were now ordered not to take a single step out of the Great Wall.
Such an order bothered many knights, even Knight Rodrigo, who had come to Wende City to report on his duties.
It is said that it is very likely that something strange was discovered in the savannah, which is why the head servant of Serena ordered them to stay within the confines of the Wall.
As long as they stay within the confines of the Wall, nothing will be able to cross the Wall and harm them, and the magic loaded into the Great Wall system will make it clear to those who try to harm them why they are forging a Wall.
"Hey, Burton!"
Knight Rodrigo had just walked out of the main entrance of the town hall and had greeted the doorman when he heard a flirtatious voice coming from his side.
The knight was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and saluted, "Good morning, Lord Lord!"
"Don't be so restrained!" Cervantes raised an eyebrow and said cheerfully, "I know what you want to do when you come back this time...... By the way, what about Lorina? I'm looking for her! Oh, I guess it's Selah looking for her. ”
Knight Rodrigo was stunned again, "The maid has something to do with Lorina?"
While he was stunned, Cervantes put his hand around the knight's neck, smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to get married? If so, are you ready for the wedding dress? What kind of customs are you going to marry?
Hearing his lord mention this, Knight Rodrigo's face turned red, and he said in a panic: "Press, isn't it okay to come as usual?"
"No, how can this work!"
Cervantes frowned and began to flicker: "Think about it, other girls only get married once in their lives, although Lorena and you are both knights of the principality, and they are used to simplicity and convenience, but if the wedding is more solemn and the sense of ceremony is stronger, wouldn't it be more able to show your sincerity?"
There seems to be some truth to this!
Knight Rodrigo was enlightened, and when he heard the lord's words, he couldn't help but nod.
"What's more, both of you are knights of the Duchy, and your wedding is also a big event worth celebrating for us!"
As he spoke, the black dragon let go of Knight Rodrigo's neck, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a serious face: "Go back and discuss it with Lorina, if she agrees to make the wedding a little bigger, you can tell her that Sera can design a new wedding dress for her that she has never seen before." You know, Sera inherited the otherworldly aesthetic, and how beautiful the clothes she designed......"
Knight Rodrigo was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that the head maid would design a 'wedding dress' for his fiancée.
He didn't know what it was, but it was probably something related to a wedding, right?
After a moment's thought, Knight Rodrigo nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to Lorena when I get back." ”
Cervantes smiled and waved as he watched as the knight returned to his residence in Winder, where his fiancée was waiting for him.
After seeing Knight Rodrigo leave, the black dragon walked to the town hall with his hands in his pockets and whistling.
For the people of this era, changing the calendar is not an unacceptable thing for them, if you count it, the continental calendar may have been more than 10,000 years old, but people still use the calendars of their respective countries.
Even if the empire is as powerful as O'Gordon, it has never thought of unifying the calendar of the continent of Slo Mendes.
When the traditional New Year arrives as scheduled, the Principality of Grief has already issued this year's calendar, and marked the 'lunar calendar' and the 24 solar terms on it.
The calendar was not a particularly new thing for people, but in the old days, they had only heard of the existence of such a thing in the homes of noble lords, but they had not seen it themselves.
And for them in the past, they didn't have the leisure to pay attention to and be curious about these things, just life has exhausted all their strength.
Thankfully, they've gotten richer, and fortunately, prices have come down.
They now live in an 'ideal country' in the eyes of people in other places, and naturally have the leisure to pay attention to these things.
The most unbelievable thing is that such a thing as 'solar terms' is actually helpful to the goddess of agriculture, because no one on this continent has ever tried to summarize such a thing, and even if there is, it is very vague.
The root cause is still the difference in ideology, and the people of this world are more inclined to the Western thinking of the earth.
Standing in front of a door, Cervantes raised his hand and knocked on it.
"Please come in. A cold voice came from behind the door, and Cervantes pushed it open and entered.
Edith, who was sitting behind her desk, looked up and saw that it was her half-brother, and a hint of surprise flashed in her golden eyes.
"Sera asked me to come!" Before Edith could ask, Cervantes said in advance that if it wasn't for something, he would never have come here.
"Sister Serena?" Edith bit her lower lip and poked the tip of her pen at the paper, "What's the matter?"
"This year's Spring Festival celebration is about to be held, and she asked me to come over and check on the progress. Cervantes sat down in the chair across from Edith and asked with a playful smile.
Progress ......
Edith thought for a moment, "The preparation is already at the end, tomorrow we will start hanging lanterns, pasting couplets, and the lion and dragon dances are also ......."
"Oh, that's good. Cervantes bowed in satisfaction.
"That...... Brother!" Edith squirmed, her head bowed, her pen in her hand and scribbling on the paper.
Cervantes raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and asked happily, "Is there something wrong?"
If she was okay, she wouldn't call herself 'brother'!
Edith raised her head and looked at her brother, her big eyes shining, "Spring Festival celebration...... Is it really that important to Sister Serena?"
"Well...... this"
The smile on the black dragon's face faded.
In this world, only he who has memories and hearts can understand the loneliness in Serena's heart.
"Yes, it's important......" Cervantes smiled helplessly and sighed, "Particularly important......"
