Chapter 312: Disguises and Racial Blending!
Inside Hillenbrand Town, the tight schedule did not make the residents feel too exhausted.
After all, with a lord like Lolth in charge, she could not really make people work day and night.
Working a full eight-hour day and cutting lunchtime to one hour is already Lolth’s extreme level of "madness."
So, even with a sense of "rapid development," the residents of Hillenbrand Town still have plenty of free time for entertainment activities.
Especially after their interactions with the outside world became more frequent, the residents could easily travel to other cities in Vera Plain for "consumption," and indeed, as Lolth expected, their demand for spiritual culture and entertainment has grown increasingly urgent.
Playing cards, playing mahjong, and chatting over tea have become a bit monotonous for the residents of Hillenbrand Town!
Even after moving to the city, the residents from the lower class, who grew up freely in the small edge town, showed no interest in the noble pastimes of watching plays, attending salons and exhibitions, or socializing in clubs.
Although the "entertainment projects" in Hillenbrand Town are still under construction, the people have already found many new ways to have fun on their own.
For example… the entertainment activities from the celebrations have now become a regular part of life.
Near City Hall Square in the Western New District, it has become a common way for many residents to earn extra money.
Not only the residents of Hillenbrand Town, but also merchants from other cities are drawn by these exciting entertainment activities, experiencing the magic and charm that Hillenbrand Town offers!
At the same time, many clever residents of Hillenbrand Town, after attending night school classes, have also begun to promote these "special features" of Hillenbrand Town.
Through advertisements in other cities, more and more people, including new nobles and wealthy citizens from other places, have come to Hillenbrand Town simply to have fun.
In light of this situation, the City Hall led by Tina also sensed that this might be a good opportunity to attract newcomers, and decided to hold another celebration event, inspired by Lolth’s previous plan.
And just as the information received by Lady of Light and Janine Irene indicates…
The celebration event themed "Welcoming Residents from Other Cities and Races" will take place tonight!
It is not just to attract people from other places to move here, but also to celebrate the fact that those from the Holy Alliance and the mercenaries from the United Kingdom of South Sotua have smoothly integrated into this community.
After the completion of the construction project today, the staff at the City Hall and the school in the West District have also finished work, leaving only the duty personnel at the hospital and police station still working, while evening classes are paused for a day.
In every farm in the southern new area, everyone has already set up automatic irrigation and magic arrays, leaving their workplaces early.
All around Hillenbrand Town, flags of the town are flying high.
Simple patterns made of cubes and lines can be seen everywhere between the streetlights and on the walls of buildings.
Many "public officials" from Hillenbrand Town are even wearing clothes with this pattern as they walk through the streets.
Today’s "celebration" feels more like a "festival" than a "ceremony."
According to the "notice" issued by City Hall, the main content of this "celebration" will not be like before, where people would gather together to watch performances as if at a party.
Instead, it is more like a spontaneous event that all the townspeople can participate in!
To match the theme of "Welcoming guests of all races and nations to Hillenbrand Town," and to celebrate the achievements of "racial integration and coexistence," tonight’s theme in Hillenbrand Town is…
"Costume Party!"
Maider, the blacksmith who also works as a tailor, received the most orders ever today. If it weren’t for his experience as an epic Superoperator, he might have already been too tired to finish.
However, it’s a good thing that sewing classes have been around for a while; in a society focused on farming, sewing is also an important skill for every housewife.
So Maider doesn’t have to take care of everyone’s costumes.
By evening, a group mainly made up of young people and children walked into the streets wearing their own crafted "special outfits"!
Lolth, who had just finished testing the lightweight application of the magic energy storage stone in the torture tower, walked out of the laboratory and reached the top of the tower.
Lately, she has been busy continuing her research on the further development and application of the "magic energy storage stone" and "Resonance Crystal." Even though the research institute has started to form, it’s not easy to find highly skilled researchers!
So for now, Lolth has to carry out all this research on her own.
Her "supplies" were almost used up, so the research entered a long, slow process.
Even with Lolth’s strong spirit and intelligence, she felt somewhat tired.
However, when Lolth stepped out onto the terrace today, she saw Hillenbrand Town more lively than usual.
People were dressed in colorful and unusual outfits, walking down the streets, making funny faces at each other, and speaking in strange fairy languages, Orc languages, or dwarf languages, even using the common tongue of the abyss to greet one another.
The cafeteria, which never misses any event, rolled out a snack cart today, and with guidance from Kanor and Dorothy, the cafeteria ladies offered a variety of delicious dishes from different places that matched the festive atmosphere.
Elves had Orc tribal face paintings, wearing decorations made of beast teeth and broken bones, holding a dull giant axe, and using their clear voices to let out loud, rough battle cries toward everyone.
"May the God of War guide you!"
"Glory flows through your veins, my friend!"
Dwarves were dressed in the fine clothes of Ryman and Seychelles nobles, wearing luxurious brocade and sparkling cloaks, with their fluffy beards styled neatly and polished with shiny wax.
"Oh—my dear lady, watch your step!"
"Greetings, my friend!"
As for the residents of Hillenbrand Town and the Superoperators of the Holy Alliance, many were also dressed up like elves and dwarfs!
Clothes made of dried vines, animal skins, and heavy metal armor were also rarely seen on humans!
