Chapter 281: 打ち上げ花火 (THANK YOU BLUE)!
In Vera Plain and Hillenbrand Town, even in summer, the day is not much longer than the night, so around seven o’clock, the sky gradually began to darken.
In the Western New Development Zone of Hillenbrand Town, the new streetlights lit up early today, and hanging lights were placed between the low eaves of the buildings and the streetlights.
When the residents of Hillenbrand Town crossed two bridges from the south to reach the Western New Development Zone, they could see this beautiful scene from afar.
On the opposite bank of the river in the Western New Development Zone, soft, warm lights lit up, coloring the entire night sky.
The surface of the water sparkled, and in the quiet night, the lights reflected in the river swayed with the sound of the water.
What was once a wild area, full of magical beasts, desolate and barren on the west bank of the river, has changed completely in just a few months.
Following the notice, after arriving in the Western New Development Zone, residents and Superoperators walked in small groups into the square in front of the City Hall.
What appeared after the hospital and police station buildings was a scene that slightly shocked the residents of Hillenbrand Town.
No, it is not just the residents of Hillenbrand Town…
Even the experienced Superoperators of the Holy Alliance were deeply shocked.
Although there had been parties and celebrations before, this is the first time such a large-scale event has happened in Hillenbrand Town.
Other places on the continent also have celebrations, but none are as "luxurious" as the "Hillenbrand Town Festival."
There are no flashy decorations, and no noble lords dressed in splendid clothes…
Projects run by city officials are placed in small mobile carts, colorful string lights are hung along the streets and trees, and residents can be seen everywhere, enjoying delicious snacks and playing festival games with smiles on their faces.
The reason this friendly scene feels "luxurious" is that each mobile stall has three to four levels of magical energy.
The magical energy here is so strong that if any scouts were to sense it, they would probably think a small-scale battle had broken out!
This time, the cafeteria also prepared many incredibly delicious snacks based on Lolth’s hidden recipes, such as octopus legs cut and cooked in batter on a skillet with half-sphere molds, syrup drawn into strange patterns on a plate, fish-shaped cakes filled with red bean paste, and sausages that taste a bit like meat but are completely different…
These moving cooking tools are all special magic devices!
It was at this moment that both the Superoperators and the townspeople of Hillenbrand Town suddenly realized how much their lives had changed because of Lady Lord Lolth!
A magic device that was originally only used for war has now entered the everyday lives of people in this remote little town.
Even the royal families of great nations do not enjoy such luxuries.
And the luxury is just beginning.
When the townspeople gathered one by one, the lights suddenly brightened on a temporary stage in the center of City Hall Square.
"Ding!"
The strong light from the high-powered lighting magic device drew everyone’s attention to the stage.
Standing on the stage was the beloved acting lord of Hillenbrand Town—Lady Tina Leinster, the Crescent Moon.
"It is Lady Tina—"
"She is holding a trumpet, as if she has something to say."
"Master Tina’s maid outfit seems a little different…"
"Indeed, there is a very noticeable logo pattern on her chest."
"Wait, she also has a flag with the same pattern hanging on her back!"
"Shh—Lady Tina is going to speak now, everyone be quiet!"
And standing on the stage, looking around, Tina also raised her trumpet.
"Buzz—"
"Good evening, residents of Hillenbrand Town… As you can see, to celebrate the successful completion of the West District Project and to welcome the Superoperators from the Holy Alliance who have joined us in Hillenbrand Town, the generous Lady Lord Lolth has chosen to hold this celebration. She wants to take this opportunity to show everyone the symbol of Hillenbrand Town!"
"Bang!"
The spotlight shone on the flag behind Tina.
"This is the symbol of Hillenbrand Town, called the ‘Unity Flag’! The four diagonal lines represent the four races of Hillenbrand Town, and the three squares represent the two new districts and the town itself, symbolizing that no matter where we come from, we are closely united to build and support a bright future for Hillenbrand Town—this is also the new ‘slogan’ about Hillenbrand Town designed by Lady Lord Lolth!"
Tina held the loudspeaker in her right hand and raised her left hand high, pointing to the sky.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Behind her, the prepared spellcasters, the Superoperators, released a row of rising "Fireballs" and a line of "Star Flashes."
These were the most basic spells, but their perfect coordination created a stunning effect.
Everyone looked up, their gazes drawn towards the night sky, once soft and luminous, now covered by the brilliant magical lights, all amazed by the beauty brought by this extraordinary power.
"Boom!"
In the sparkling silver light of countless stars, the bursting magic from over ten Fireballs exploded, filling the sky with orange-red flames and fire elements that shone as brightly as day, like a beautiful seaside sunset.
Amidst the dazzling lights that seemed ready to ignite the entire sky, a pure white moonbeam cut through the glow of the fire elements, slowly shaping the bright sky into a symbol of Hillenbrand Town.
"Please enjoy the special surprise brought to you by Hillenbrand City Hall and the police station at this celebration—the fireworks show!"
Tina said this, and the crowd, which had fallen silent in shock, suddenly erupted with cheers and awe at that moment.
"This is so beautiful…"
"Oh God, am I dreaming?"
"Master Lolth is truly amazing—I never thought this old man would someday see a Superoperator perform for me!"
"What a whimsical lord she is."
At that moment, both the Superoperator and the residents felt moved.
After the Fireball, the spellcasters behind the scenes took turns showcasing their most dazzling spells and mystical techniques, pouring all their energy into the sky.
Illusions, Shadow Fiend light magic, and even modified dwarf cannons; these magical spells were much more flexible and beautiful than fireworks from the past.
During this process, it wasn’t just the residents who were happy.
Even the spellcasters felt a sense of "fulfillment and joy" that they could not explain.
