Finally, ten years after the war against the demon god, the blood clan repelled the first wave of the abyss. There were no casualties, but tens of thousands of people died. The vitality that had just recovered slightly was hit hard again.
Two years later, the Abyss Wave was driven to the extreme west of the continent by the coalition forces of various races and relied on the abyss to defend itself. The coalition forces failed to capture the continent after a long siege and held a meeting of various races. The Far West Front Alliance was established.
The following year, the human race migrated eastward, and the current continental structure was formed. The Far West Front, which lasted for a thousand years, also officially began.
§ 107 Luoshui River Lanterns
"And that's what happened here."
As Eve finished her reminiscence, the atmosphere in the tour bus became a little dull. After a long time, Istina finally spoke.
"Has there ever been such a period of history..."
"Yes, the fact that we can live here like this today is all earned by our ancestors who fought and died for it."
Watching the ancient city wall gradually disappearing into the distance, Eve sighed.
After saying that, Eve clapped her hands, dispelling some of the gloomy atmosphere in the car.
"Well, the dead are gone, and the living are like this. Tina, don't be too disappointed. We can't change what happened now, so let's inherit their wishes and move forward into the future."
"Ah."
After hearing Eve's comfort, Istina's mood improved a little and she nodded firmly.
"If we go a little further, we should be close to the Luo River. Do you want to go down and relax, Tina?"
After observing the changing scenery outside the window, Eve guessed where they were now and made a suggestion.
"…okay."
After a little hesitation, Istina agreed to Eve's suggestion. She also wanted to see other scenery to completely get rid of her depressed mood.
After a while, the tour bus stopped and the four people got out of the bus one after another.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the blood-red setting sun was hidden behind the clouds, turning half of the sky into an incomparably gorgeous sunset.
The countless river lanterns on the Luoshui River ahead are like stars, slowly flowing into the distance along with the river.
"By the way, would you like to release a river lantern as well?"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Eve seemed to have thought of something interesting.
"It is said that if you write your wish on a river lantern and let it float along with the Luo River, your wish will come true."
"Hmm... Yeah! Let's light one then."
"Master, I want one too~"
"..."
As for Ilvia, although she didn't say anything, she silently pulled Eve's sleeve to show her attitude.
After looking around, Eve quickly found a small shop selling river lanterns.
"Boss, five river lanterns."
Eve handed over the coin in her hand.
"Okay, take it."
After taking Eve's coins, the old man selling river lanterns smiled and handed five river lanterns along with a few pens and small candles to Eve.
After returning to the three people, Eve first used the extra river lantern to teach the others how to fold river lanterns.
"First, write your wish here, then fold it like this, then turn it over like this... Once everything is folded, put the candle in, light it, and then put it in the river."
After demonstrating, Eve looked at the people around her.
"Have you learned everything?"
"Ok!"
"No problem~"
"Okay, then each of you go do it, and when you're all done, light the candles together and put them down."
As she spoke, Eve handed the materials in her hand to several people.
Seeing that Viya and the others were thinking about what wishes to write down, Eve smiled and started thinking too.
—·—·—·—·—·—·—
At this time, several people were writing down their wishes on paper. The wish written by Ilvia could be said to be very simple.
"I hope I can always be with Eve."
After writing this sentence, Ilvia tilted her head and thought for a while, then carefully added another small line of words below.
"I hope there will be endless cookies."
I believe that if you make one more small wish, it will come true.
After writing this, Ilvia began to fold the river lanterns according to Eve's previous movements. She was very cautious, fearing that she would accidentally damage the colored paper in her hands.
Akana's wish was much simpler. She started writing without even thinking about it.
"I hope that one day my master will take the initiative to overthrow me!!!"
After finishing writing, Arcana nodded in satisfaction at his masterpiece and began to fold it.
Finally, after careful consideration, Istina wrote down a wish that was very similar to Ilvia's.
"I hope to be with Eve forever."
For her, this is her happiness.
Looking at the wish she wrote on the paper in her hand, Istina smiled slightly, then folded the paper in her hand.
As for Eve's wish, it is not particularly grand. She just hopes to be with the people around her forever.
"I hope to be with you all forever and travel to every corner of the world."
On the colorful paper, small words read:
Although she had some other wishes, she finally wrote down this extremely ordinary wish.
"Okay, how's it going? Have you finished writing and folding it?"
After folding the river lantern in her hand, Eve asked the others.
"Ok!"
“It’s already folded~”
"Okay, then let's go to the river and light the candles."
As she spoke, Eve summoned a flame from her fingertips and helped them light the small candles in their hands in turn.
Gently place the candle into the river lantern, and then carefully place the river lantern into the Luo River. Eve and the others stood on the shore and watched the river lantern gradually float farther and farther with the water flow, and gradually turned into a small point of light.
"Eve."
"Ok?"
"Do you think our wishes will come true?"
"I will, I promise."
With a slight smile, Eve replied.
Even though the undercurrents on the continent are becoming increasingly apparent, and the remnants of the demons that have been dormant for a thousand years are showing signs of revival, if they dare to break the peace around Eve, she will let them see what real hell is.
Wishes are meant to be fulfilled! If the world can't even grant a small wish, then she will fulfill it! If fate prevents her from fulfilling her wish, then she will transcend fate!
"Okay, it's getting late, let's get in the car and go back."
After releasing the river lanterns, the sky had already darkened completely and it was almost time for dinner.
"For dinner, Tina, do you want to eat outside or go back to the inner castle? By the way, the Imperial City is very lively at night."
Depending on Istina's answer, Eve needs to plan her next trip.
Since most of the stalls on the roadside in the Blood Clan’s Royal City sell blood products, Istina cannot consume them in large quantities, so she needs to go to areas where there are more stalls from foreign races.
As for what she said about the night being more lively, it is not difficult to understand. After all, many vampires still live a nocturnal life.
"Well... let's take a look outside. I'm also curious about the night view here."
After thinking for a moment, Istina said.
"Okay! Then get in the car and take Tina to another snack street!"
As the few people returned to the bus, after it started for a while, the tour bus started moving again.
§ 108 Night view
As the sky gradually darkened and the lights came on, the magic lamps placed on both sides of the road were lit up one after another, illuminating the dim streets. Some shops even specially installed light sources to illuminate their signs to attract customers.
The reason why so many magic lights are set up on the roads in the Blood Clan’s Imperial City is not for the Blood Clan, but taking into consideration the situation of other foreign races in the Imperial City. After all, not every race has night vision, and it is better to say that some beastmen are night blind.
If we go to a smaller town, the night there will be darker, and there will be basically not many light sources on the road, with only a little faint moonlight to illuminate the way.
As the tour bus slowly stopped again, Eve first changed her clothes in the bus and disguised herself as a succubus, while Istina also changed her disguise magic to the succubus mode.
"Okay, let's go down and take a look around. Unlike the Chamber of Commerce, this is a snack street with some fun things. There are about half and half vampire stalls and half foreign stalls. It feels a bit like the night market in Quancheng. It's better to eat and walk around at the same time."
As she spoke, Eve opened the car door and got out.
At this time, the snack street was filled with figures of demons and beastmen, and even occasionally a few elves could be seen mixed in with the crowd.
Similarly, in order to prevent chaos, there are many plainclothes vampire guards mixed in with the crowd. In other words, these densely populated areas with mixed races are key areas for the vampire guards to guard against. After all, if something happens, it will become a cross-racial diplomatic issue.
"Eve."
Suddenly, Ilvia pulled at the corner of Eve's clothes.
"Over there, Biscuit."
As she spoke, Ilvia pointed to a stall at the entrance of the snack street. Looking in the direction she pointed, she saw a small shop run by the elves, and what attracted Ilvia were the biscuits on the stall.
"Okay~ Let's go buy some cookies~"
Rubbing Ilvia's little head lovingly, Eve brought a few people to the elves' stall.
In addition to biscuits, the stall also sells fruits, juices and other foods.
"Hmm...do you have anything else to eat besides cookies? Do you want to try the fruits cultivated by the elves? They are delicious."
Eve asked, glancing at the fruits that had been cut and placed on the table.
The fruits in this world are still very delicious. Eve tasted a lot of them after regaining her memory, especially those produced by the elves.
"Hmm...what kind of fruits are these? There are many I haven't seen before."
However, Istina was a little troubled at this time. Although the fruits in front of her looked delicious and fresh, there was only one problem - she had never seen these fruits before. They did not seem to be varieties produced in the human territory. They should be special products of the elves.
"Then let me introduce you~"
As if she had seen Istina's difficulties, the elf lady who was both a clerk and the store manager took the initiative to introduce her to someone else.
"This is the honey fruit, it tastes sweet. This is the thousand hands, although it looks a bit strange in shape, it's still delicious. And this is the hundred flavors, it tastes different every time you eat it, and this one is..."
Before the elf lady could finish her introduction, Istina's eyes turned into circles and she was completely confused.
"Okay, Tina, if you don't know what to eat, just order a little of each. After trying them all, you can buy whatever you like."
Fortunately, Eve rescued her in time.
"Hmm...well, just listen to Eve."
After hearing Eve's suggestion, Istina nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
"That's it, please pack four servings of fruit for us, a little of each, and half of each kind of biscuits."
Considering that there were other customers who wanted to buy, Eve didn't buy all the cookies directly.
