Chapter 152 The Fourth Rainy Moon

Living in Kosnia during the Bronze Calendar Period The priests (in ancient times, now Shibai Province) divided the year into twelve months according to the astrology and agricultural time, and started the first calendar year for human beings.

The Rainy Moon is the fourth of the twelve months, during which a steady stream of rain blankets much of the central and southern continent. Of course, this month is just a name for the white land and cold plains in the north, which are shrouded in snow all day long, and the withered desert in the west.

The April Fool’s Day on the fourth day of the rainy moon is a legal holiday officially recognized by most places. Have a fun family holiday.

But for the lower classes, especially those in the slums who lack the means of making a living, this is an annual “legal begging festival”, or as they say, only A festival where you can turn over and be the master.

But this year’s April Fool’s Day in Thorn City was a little different in some ways.

In the early morning, the ragged people in the slums, wearing crowns made of cardboard and bamboo chips, gathered in a grandiose parade and took to the streets. They waved the bells in their hands, wore necklaces strung with cheap glass beads, and straddled wooden swords around their waists in imitation of noble saber attire.

The glamorous mansions all over Uptown have their doors closed, and some even lit up with the brilliance of magical protection as a warning.

The taverns, hotels, tailors, grocery stores and other stores in the streets and alleys have all been delisted and closed. At the same time, they have placed a small amount of money and food at the door, and put up a small sign next to it. Written – Dedicated to my King.

It’s normal to get here, no difference from previous years.

However, on April Fool’s Day in previous years, the relief team dispatched by the lord to give money and food to the Rose Street, but now not even a ghost shadow can be seen.

Not only the people giving alms, but also the guards who normally go to the streets to maintain order.

The procession of the grandiose king beggar walked several times along the rose avenue according to the previous route, but still did not see a silhouette.

Only relying on the alms of those small shops would definitely not meet their original expectations, so by this time, the team started to be a little commotion.

Perhaps the new lord completely abandoned the traditions of previous years, or maybe it was the courage given to them on this special day. Of course, it is more likely that there were no guards around them to deter them at all times. .

All in all, there was a voice in the procession.

“Enclose the palace.”

It was just a few people chanting silently at first, but after I don’t know who shouted it out loud, this sentence began to be heard in the crowd The uproar grew, and soon it became a parade slogan with a frenzy.

“Fence the palace! Fence the palace! Fence the palace!”

Then, this whole team of “kings”, grandiose’s to Rose Palace’s The direction went past.

…………

Thorn City City Lord, Guardian of Blackwater Marsh and Nakuland, Vincent von Bergman, as yet uncrowned First Citizen, is at the moment In the meeting room of the Rose Palace.

His fingers tapped casually on the table, bringing a touch of restlessness to the already dull imperial meeting.

It’s no wonder, it’s been hundreds of years, and the Rose Palace hasn’t held a conclave on April Fool’s Day.

On both sides of the long conference table, there are courtiers sitting at Rose Palace.

The Lord Chancellor, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Spy, the Chief of the Mage Hall, the Captain of the Black Guard of Thorns, and the newly appointed Minister of Grain by Vincent.

Since they were seated, Vincent didn’t say a word, he just listened to the courtiers’ reports with no expression, and kept tapping his fingers on the table.

After a long time, the headmaster sitting next to Vincent finally couldn’t bear the oppressive atmosphere. He got up and walked to the small light-transmitting window beside him and complained:

“Why is it so noisy outside today?”

“April Fools’ Day, it’s normal to be noisy on the street.”

The spy minister closest to him turned to him and said, There was an obvious complaint in the man’s voice.

The sight of the small window was blocked by the tall tower on the side, so the steward couldn’t see the situation outside Rose Palace at this moment, but he could hear the sound outside getting louder and louder.

“But I haven’t heard such a noise in previous years, especially near the palace. Isn’t the parade usually stopped by guards on Rose Avenue?”

The headmaster listened carefully to the noisy sound outside the window, and after confirming that the sound was from the April Fool’s Day parade, he asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Vincent turned his attention to the Minister of Grain Industry whom he had single-handedly promoted.

In previous years, the relief work for the parade on April Fool’s Day was the responsibility of the Minister of Finance, but now all matters related to people’s livelihood have been transferred to this newly established position.

The Grain Minister is a youngster with dark, bushy hair who previously worked in the Thorn City Chamber of Commerce and was tapped and promoted by Vincent for his outstanding performance in dealing with refugees fleeing the tide of the dead.

Regarding Vincent’s questioning gaze, he just replied with confusion:

“The work was arranged a week ago, and I went to the site to check it last night. Preparations, it should be all by now…”

“Enclose…, enclose the palace, enclose the palace!”

The increasingly loud chants outside the Rose Palace made the The Minister of Grain Industry stopped to explain, and he frowned also walked to the window, trying to see what was happening outside.

And Vincent’s eyes turned to Captain, the thorn black guard.

Even if relief teams did not arrive to appease them, under the control of the guards, the parade was decidedly impossible to come so close to the Rose Palace.

So at this moment, Captain’s face was a little ugly, and he quickly said:

“I have already asked Captain to lead the team to the scene to maintain order, and now this situation is simply impossible to happen. Ah.”

“But it’s happening right now. Lord Vincent, do you need to send the Guard or the War Mage from the Mage Hall to expel the mob?”

Finance aside The minister got up and asked Vincent.

Vincent shook his head:

“They are not a mob, and they are also impossible to break through the city wall of Rose Palace. Now sending people out will only cause casualties of innocent people.”

p>

“But the fact that the mob attacked the Rose Palace itself is not good, no matter whether they can succeed or not.”

The spy minister on the side reminded.

Vincent didn’t say anything, but looked at him with Sen Han’s eyes.

Goosebumps appeared behind him at this glance, as if a lightning bolt had exploded not far behind him.

The other party didn’t realize something…

Cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

But this should be an impossible matter. The entire intelligence system of Thorn City is in his hands, and the intelligence the other party receives every day must pass through his hands. Just with Vincent’s own poor connections, where can he detect clues?

The side guard Captain stood up and walked directly to the door of the Conference Hall and said:

“I’d better take someone to stabilize the situation outside first. Then I’ll find the deputy guard. Captain asks clearly.”

After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door, and then he saw Captain, the second guard of the Black Guard of Thorns, standing at the door.

and fully armed.

“The situation outside has stabilized, and the people are wholeheartedly welcoming the return of the true Duke.”

The other side grinned and said with a smile.

Behind him stood several robed magic casters armed with spells.

…………

Moon Realm, the lake of entropy.

“So, is our Master Calamity now back in Thorn City?”

Valk asked for an unknown number of times.

“No…he is still near the scar of the poisonous snake… Forget it, don’t wait, you can block all the surrounding space through those believers.”

>

Camilla Road.

“It’s a pity… After a thousand years, the new friends who have been acquainted for a long time will die like this. Cough cough, dementia, and now through those countless crowns, the space around that gorgeous palace is completely destroyed.

Fall into a sluggish state!”

I have something to do today, and I used the phone code, so it’s a bit late, sorry~
