......

Before dawn, there was a knock on Kakusim's door. He yawned www.biquge.info and subconsciously wanted to take out his coat, but he didn't realize until he reached halfway through his hand that the first thing he did when he got up here was not to put on his coat.

The thick brick walls keep the chill out, and the incredible heating keeps the room warm at all times, no matter how heavy the wind and snow outside, the house will not leak everywhere as in the past, or the roof will seep water.

He opened the door, and the young man standing outside was his deputy Barracuda, "Why haven't you gotten up yet, we have to hurry, Mr. Captain!

"It takes so early?" Kakusim probed to look at the sky, the morning light had just peeked out of the clouds, and the soft morning light lit up a small corner of the sky.

"Of course! I heard from my next-door neighbor that there will be a theatrical performance by the Xinghua Theater Troupe at this Victory Day celebration, and I am afraid that I won't even be able to enter the square if I go late!"

"Okay, you wait for me," the old man shrugged, went back to his bedroom to change his clothes, and sighed softly as he looked at the other empty bed. Victory Day...... I don't know if there is such a celebration in the Long Song Fortress, otherwise Vader would have missed it.

The two of them went out and walked towards the square area, where ropes were tied up from tree trunks on both sides of the street, and colorful flags hung under the ropes. Coupled with the reflection of the morning light, the atmosphere of the whole town becomes completely renewed. From time to time, someone merges into the main road from the fork in the road and walks side by side with them, apparently intending to go to the square area.

Kakusim heard the news of the victory celebration from Barracuda - in order to celebrate the safe passage of the evil moon in the realm, His Royal Highness named the first day after the end of the evil moon as Victory Day, on which the town not only had all the people on vacation, but also held a grand bonfire banquet in the central square. The deputy who heard the news excitedly ran to invite him to visit with him, and after thinking about it, he felt that he was idle, so the old man agreed to his proposal.

Walking to the square area, a vacant lot has been separated by a wooden fence around the stage in the central area, and the policemen in black uniforms are maintaining order, and many people have arrived before them, and have gone up three or four floors around the open space. The two quickly found a location close to the stage, chatting and waiting for the celebration to begin.

When the sun rises overhead, the square is already crowded, and the prince appears in the center of the stage. As soon as he appeared, Kakusim heard overwhelming cheers, and everyone around him raised their hands in excitement and shouted long live to their Highness!

The fourth prince smiled and waited for the people's cries to subside, raised his fist and said loudly, "Once again, we have defeated evil!"

This time, the sky above the square suddenly exploded, and the deafening shouting made the old man's heart tremble, he had not seen such a lord who was so popular with the people for a long time.

"My people, no matter where you come from, whether it is the West, the North, or the East and the Far South, as long as you contribute to this place, this glory belongs to you! It belongs to everyone who has given sweat and blood to the frontier town!" the prince's calm, emotional voice was as if it were magical, and it did not shout loudly, but it could be heard clearly in Kakusim's ears. "And today's Victory Day is a day for you - evil has not been completely destroyed, it will return sooner or later, but no matter how many times the enemy comes, as long as we are united and work together, victory will be ours in the end!"

The old man had never heard a royal nobleman call us together with a commoner, but His Highness didn't seem to care at all, his eyes looked at the people so naturally, there was no arrogance and disdain common with nobles, it seemed that in the eyes of the prince, all the people and he were one.

Incredible, but unexpected...... Harmonize.

"Now, let's cheer and toast to this hard-won victory!"

"Long live Your Highness!"

"Long live victory!"

The sound of joy resounded over the square, and everyone raised their right hands in salute His Highness, even Kakusim.

"This is the lord worthy of my allegiance!" said Barracuda, patting his chest excitedly.

Next, it was the turn of the Star Flower Troupe to appear, and many people whistled excitedly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen them perform. ”

"Lady Erin is still so beautiful!"

"But compared to Miss May, I always feel that there is a lack of charm. ”

"It's time to call Lady May, don't you know, I heard that she is about to marry the chief knight, and His Royal Highness the prince has sent congratulatory gifts. ”

Hearing the discussion around him, Barracuda couldn't help but wonder, "The name of the troupe is either the same as the theater or the same as the place name, why is the troupe in the border town called such a strange name?"

"You're not from the West, are you," someone next to him immediately explained, "Ms. May and Ms. Erin are both from the Long Opera House, one is called the Star of the West, and the other is called Tomorrow's Flower, and now they are both in the border town, so they are naturally called the Star Flower Troupe." ”

"Look, it's on!"

This isn't Kakusim's first time watching a theatrical performance, but the story is particularly new – not about a thousand times of love between nobles, but a rendition of the history of the West...... The actors on stage play several ordinary people living in a border town, from their helplessness and hesitation in the face of the demon moon, being driven like a lamb, to the determination to stay in the town and fight the brutal evil beast to the end, the whole story is full of twists and turns, and the whole story is full of twists and turns. When the character played died in hunger and cold, or died on the defense line to protect his loved ones, the people on the scene will empathize.

The old man quickly devoted himself to it, and even the displaced people who had only just arrived in the west could feel the sacrifices and unremitting efforts made by the people in the border areas to survive.

When the drama ended with Victory Day, thunderous applause erupted in the square.

The next scene left Kakusim stunned, only to see a woman with long flaxen hair holding a black thread, cutting the wooden platform into pieces, and then directly using the pile of broken wood to ignite a bonfire that soared into the sky.

The crowd of onlookers not only did not feel afraid, but shouted her name, "Miss Anna!"

As whole sheep were roasted on a bonfire, the atmosphere reached its climax. Locals spontaneously enter the square in long strings and perform a peculiar dance to begin the final part of the festivities – as long as the dance continues, the barbecue will continue to be replenished until midnight.

"Mr. Captain, shall we go too?" the barracuda swallowed, eager to try.

"I'm too old to dance," Kakusim shook his head, "and you can go with them." ”

"That'...... I'll go first," he stuck out his tongue, "and I'll bring you the barbecue when I get it!"

Seeing the young man following the crowd towards the clearing, the old man couldn't help laughing. He had been hesitating about what the name of the stone ship he had been assigned to him in order to be both memorable and not cliché, but now he finally had an idea.

Just call Victory, he thought. (To be continued.) )
