As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

I heard from Alice that Roy is fine, but the Emerald Court is still keeping him locked up and not letting him see him?

But the Summer Night Festival gave Charlotte an opportunity.

It makes sense for the princess to visit your embassy, ​​right?

Since you are here, it is reasonable to visit your own Oath Knight, right?

It would be fine if she had no excuse at other times, but Charlotte just didn't believe it. This time, even though she was already here, the Emerald Council still dared to stop her from meeting!

As a friend who also missed Roy, Charlotte was so considerate that she even called the little maid along, fearing that the little guy would be lonely.

But she had no idea that someone was delivering breakfast to Roy every day.

The carriage was stalled due to the flow of people.

Even the royal carriage couldn't go fast on the overly busy streets.

"By the way, there are so many people here today." Charlotte muttered gloomily, looking at the noisy crowd outside the car window. She caught a glimpse of the men and women holding hands and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

No, what is there to envy?

Anyway, I can see Roy tonight.

Thinking of this, Charlotte withdrew her gaze and her mood became better again.

"There's a traffic jam ahead. Let's take a detour."

"okay."

In the Citadel, the Green Council's Summer Night Festival has long since developed into a popular and lively festival. Even those who are not of elf descent take to the streets today to experience the festive atmosphere.

This was like the Christmas in Roy's previous life. Although the original cultural atmosphere was much less, everyone just wanted to have fun and have a lively and festive time.

Because there were too many people on the main road, Roy and Nia hid in a small alley nearby.

If it were another girl, she would probably dislike the dark and narrow alleys, fearing that her new clothes would be scratched and dirty.

But Konya was like a child on a spring outing, jumping and skipping in the alleys, extremely excited.

The quiet alley erases the noise from the street.

The girl turned around in the shadows, her emerald eyes sparkling. "Doesn't this kind of trail feel a bit like an adventure?"

"For example, encountering a serial killer, or a cult's secret rituals, or rescuing a beautiful girl who ran away."

"What are you thinking? There are so many guards outside. If anything happens, it won't be our turn." Roy complained sharply.

The northern district of the academy city, which is the commercial district where they are now, is extremely prosperous, with good public security, and is also home to embassies of various forces.

In a sense, this place is safer than the magic academy. Even the desperate cults don't dare to run wild here.

Unexpectedly, just as Roy finished speaking, a strange noise came from the corner.

Is this girl's mouth blessed?!

Roy was horrified and looked warily towards the direction of the sound deep in the alley.

The boy's pupils shrank and he quickly retracted his head.

"Hmm? What's in there? Let me take a look."

Seeing this, Nia came over curiously.

What the hell are you doing? Stop disturbing the couple's fun, okay?!

"Nothing, let's go to the street."

Roy quickly grabbed the girl and fled the scene in two steps.

Nia's curiosity was interrupted and she curled her lips, but when she noticed that the boy was holding her hand tightly, the corners of her mouth quickly relaxed again.

She naturally took the other person's hand and did not let go until they were back on the street.

As they stepped into this bustling commercial street, they were enveloped by an intoxicating fragrance.

The street vendors are all dancing tree houses built with extraordinary power. The exterior walls of the trees are inlaid with the unique patterns of the Emerald Court, and the doorways of each shop are decorated with delicate and colorful flowers, which are the source of the fragrance.

The streets of the Academy City would be decorated accordingly depending on the festival. The fragrant streets before him might not rival the legendary Elf Forest, but they were enough to make a young man, who had lived in concrete and steel for a long time in his previous life, exclaim in admiration.

"The style of your hometown is really beautiful."

People generally lack interest in the scenery they are accustomed to, but after hearing what Roy said, Nia still raised her eyebrows: "I'll take you back to the Emerald Court when I have the chance. It's even more beautiful than this."

"Tell me, how is the Summer Night Festival celebrated in the Emerald Court?" Roy knew very well that no matter what festival the Citadel celebrated, there would be stalls set up on the streets to promote consumption. This was definitely not the way traditional festivals were celebrated.

"Em...it's not that lively. I don't actually remember it very clearly. I didn't participate much when I was a child." Nia shrugged.

Could this girl be locked up forever? Thinking of this, Roy felt a little heavy-hearted and was speechless for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Nia said seriously, "When I was little, I always wanted to sneak out to the Adventurer's Guild during holidays, or steal a few extraordinary weapons to play with. That's why I always remember getting scolded by my mother."

The young man's mouth twitched, and he felt a bit amused and helpless.

Sneaking into the guild is one thing, but stealing extraordinary weapons is even more outrageous! You're no ordinary bear!

Thinking about it this way, being put in solitary confinement is understandable.

"Ah, but the main event of the Summer Night Festival is the bonfire party! Here, it's held in the square, so we can go and have some fun!"

"interesting."

Seeing that the boy was quite interested, Nia smiled even sweeter.

What Nia didn't say was that according to the descendants of the elves, men and women who dance together at the bonfire party will be in love for life.

Young people in the Green Council often choose to invite others to dance at bonfire parties as a subtle way to express their love. Bonfire parties are also a common place for romance in adventure stories. Most importantly, her parents officially fell in love at a bonfire party.

It is implicit and passionate, romantic and moving, carrying the beauty of the past and the expectations for the future.

That was the perfect place for Nia to confess her love.

"However, there's still some time before the bonfire party officially starts. Do you want to go shopping first?"

In response to Nia's question, Roy naturally agreed readily.

"Where do you want to go?"

Nia almost blurted out the words, but she held them back.

"Ahem, this time I'm here to heal and relax with you, so it's completely up to you where you want to go!"

Chapter 129 Rain

If he were to decide entirely based on his own tone, he would naturally go to a maid cafe - Roy's emotional intelligence was not that low.

The shops on the street are different from before. Not only are they decorated, but they also organize many small activities to cater to the festive atmosphere.

For example, the light weapons experience store for adventurers.

The people at the front desk are all descendants of elves, and the weapons on display are traditional weapons of the elves, such as throwing knives, bows and arrows, and double swords.

It seems that they were sent by the guild specifically for publicity.

Roy tilted his head towards there: "Let's go there to play?"

Nia looked over, her eyes lit up at first, but then she curled her lips: "I already said I'm here to accompany you, there's no need to pick a place just for me."

"Maybe I just like going to that kind of place." Roy still smiled.

"I really can't do anything about you." After muttering, Nia still followed obediently.

The adventurers rented a large area of ​​the venue, and there were people performing weapon demonstrations in the venue, which attracted the admiration of passers-by.

"Those of you who are confident in your skills are welcome to come and compete! If you can beat the best players in our guild, we have special prizes!"

During major holidays, even adventurers would not actually fight with the guests who came to visit.

Most of the competitions involve archery, knife throwing and other competitive events.

These projects are not difficult, but those who dare to show off their skills in front of others must be quite capable. Even the extraordinary people from the magic academy will find it difficult to get the upper hand.

Among the people passing by, there are many young men who want to show off their talents in front of their girlfriends, but unfortunately most of them return home empty-handed and embarrassed.

Occasionally, there are one or two guys who defeat the adventurers and win applause from those around them.

But Roy and Nia could see at a glance that those guys were just agents of the adventurers themselves, just to let the guests see the hope of victory.

Seeing Nia eager to try, Roy reminded her, "Just play around, give her some face."

"I understand."

It's obvious that Nia is just talking.

Elves are all born with good throwing skills. Of course, the competitors in the store are also of elf descent, so Nia can't get any advantage in terms of race.

The problem is bloodline and experience.

[Wind Hermit] has the ability to manipulate air currents, and Nia herself has been throwing knives in the guild since she was a child, so she is very professional.

After one round, Nia defeated all the adventurers present. She turned her flying knives and proudly lifted her ponytail, posing, which attracted cheers and complaints.

"What an amazing little girl!"

"Those adventurers don't seem that great!"

The boss was so angry that his face turned green.

But Nia was just playing it cool, so they could only stare at Roy with ill intentions.

"Brother, it's so boring just watching from the sidelines, why don't you come and play too."

"That's right, your girlfriend is so amazing, so you must be no worse, right?"

"She's not me..."

Nia on the side also joined the persuasion team, laughing mischievously: "Come and play! Oh, are you scared?"

"I just don't want to ruin your gaming experience." Roy scratched his head.

"Hey, you're so arrogant. Wanna have a competition? The loser will treat you!"

Faced with the young boys and girls sparring with each other, the store manager and others who were left aside were confused.

This seems to be our store?

Shouldn't they be competing with our adventurers? Why are these two young lovers showing off?!

But they soon felt lucky that they had not picked a fight with Roy.

For Iron Blood, who can manipulate any weapon at will, this kind of game is as skill-free as eating and drinking. Even Nia is slightly inferior to him.

The wonderful competition between the two was once again greeted with applause. As the boy and girl left, passers-by who had had enough of the performance also dispersed, leaving the weapon showroom deserted in an instant, and the owner was so angry that he grimaced.

The elf girl who was beaten by Roy was also very angry. However, after smelling the fragrance of roadside snacks, the girl immediately turned her grief and anger into appetite and put this little setback behind her.

This kind of festival often has some festive pastries.

One of the shops had small round cakes baked with nectar, which was very popular with everyone and naturally attracted Nia.

It is said that this is the specialty pastry of the Green Council, which is specially baked with morning dew nectar. It tastes sweet but not greasy. However, in order to cater to the taste of the public, it is added with condiments such as jam or cream. Although it is loved by everyone, it makes the descendants of elves feel subtle.

But Nia, a non-picky foodie, was a disgrace to the elves. In Roy's previous life, he was an Italian who dared to eat pineapple pizza and was not afraid of chocolate dumplings.

They each ordered one. Roy asked for the traditional flavor, while Nia asked for the sweetened version covered with icing sugar and jam, which shocked the other elves for a hundred years.

The thin cake is packed in a small bag, which is convenient to carry.

"By the way, you didn't even give way to me just now!"

"Is there a possibility that I have already given in."

"Hey, I told you you're fat and you're still breathing heavily...give me a taste."

Roy had just taken a bite.

Nia was secretly peeking at the place where Roy had bitten her.

"Didn't you just say you were tired of the traditional flavors?"

"That's true, but seeing others eat makes you greedy."

Roy shook his head helplessly and was about to break off a piece for her, but the boy waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, this thing is so sticky, I can do it myself."

Before Roy could notice, Nia came up, lifted her hair, and opened her crystal lips.
