Chapter 529 Chapter 492: Harvest Festival

In the morning, Du Wei was still sitting in the room. This is the separate study courtyard in the Tulip Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital.Since returning from the Knights Association last night, Du Wei has been sitting here for a whole night. In front of him was the Longchinus gun! Touching the body of the gun lightly with his fingers, he could feel the coldness of the metal. With his eyes closed, Du Wei carefully used his mental power to sense it, as if he could sense the faint wave of induction left on the gun. , It seems that a tiny thing is pulling my spiritual power. If you listen carefully, you can hear a faint whistling sound...but it's very light.

It feels like you are holding a conch shell to your ear and listening to it. It's subtle. It's a pity that Du Wei spent a whole night doing many tests on this long gun, but without any valuable results. To Du Wei's dismay, this legendary strongest artifact didn't have the slightest bit of legendary divine power on it. What kind of blessings from the gods, attributes of many divine powers... no at all! If it wasn't for the faint feeling, this would be an ordinary spear—no, it's not even as good as an ordinary spear, because it's too broken, with countless scars on it, so I'm afraid that if you use a little force, will break it straight away.

Du Wei tried several methods: injecting spiritual power, or trying to use the two artifacts of the Moonless Five Light Armor and Jiduluohu Instant Prison Arrow to trigger the induction... But there was still no movement.The only thing of value is that when the three artifacts are placed together, the Qiyue Wuguang Armor and Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow will obviously produce some induction, and the divine power attached to it is about to move—but this gun , but as quiet as dead. "That's right, it's 'dead'!" Du Wei suddenly grasped the subtle feeling in his heart!

It was as if he was dead! Because the moonless five-light armor and the Jidu Luohou Instant Prison Arrow have the attributes of gods and gods on them, and the ability to repair themselves, it is like a living thing... and this gun, it is dead, no more Soul, without divine power. "Like dead." Du Wei sighed, raised his head to look at the sky outside...it's already morning. He stretched vigorously and stayed up all night. For a magician, there would be no major mental problems, but there was still some physical exhaustion. Du Wei stood up, glanced at the golden spear, hesitated, and put it back into the storage ring.

Well, no matter what, I already have three artifacts in my hand... not bad. In fact, Du Wei couldn't help but wonder in his heart: If he was wearing the "Five-light Armor of the Lacking Moon", carrying the "Kiduluohu Instant Prison Arrow" on his back, holding the "Longchinus Spear", and riding a The golden dragon...that is so gorgeous! Unfortunately, I can only think about it. "Let's deal with today's matter first." Du Wei sighed, then opened the door and walked out of the study. As soon as he went out, the elder Yan, the guard who had been waiting outside the door all night, immediately strode over.Lao Yan's eyes were bloodshot, but he was still in good spirits, and nodded to Du Wei: "My lord, do you have any orders?"

"Prepare the horse, I'm going to the palace." Just as Lao Yan was leaving, Du Wei added another sentence: "Don't bring others, just follow me! I have to do something important today, it's not good if there are too many people." ... Before going to the palace, Du Wei made a detour to the south of the city.He is going to go outside the Knights Association to see what the effect is after the announcement is issued. As a result, things went beyond Du Wei's expectations! He originally thought that after the announcement of the "No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the World" was sent out, it would take at least a month for the warriors from all over the mainland to flock to the imperial capital. will increase.

But Du Wei ignored one point: this is the imperial capital! Hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial capital... Uh, or it is not appropriate to say that, because although there are indeed many warriors hidden among the people in the imperial capital, most of them are not "hidden dragons and crouching tigers". Because of the decline of chivalry, the status of warriors has declined. Many warriors in the imperial capital are just hanging out among the people and making a living. The news had only been announced for less than half a day, and it immediately shocked the entire imperial capital!

I have seen such a scene in many places in the imperial capital: those warriors in the streets and alleys who are struggling to live at the bottom of the common people, when they heard the news, they immediately threw away the work in their hands. They rushed towards the direction of the Knights Association—among them were the guards of the chariot dealers, the bodyguards of the chamber of commerce, the handymen and chefs of the hotel, and even some grooms! Many people ran home, dug out boxes that had been stored for many years from under their beds, found rusty armor and long swords from them, and scrubbed them carefully.

And in all the blacksmith shops in the imperial capital, the business exploded several times overnight!All the blacksmith shops were almost full, and countless people who ordered long swords, weapons and armor were queuing up, and the finished weapons in the blacksmith shops were almost wiped out, and the prices doubled one after another: a low-grade iron sword worth ten copper plates , now sell at least two silver coins.And the price of a set of light leather armor has increased six times! Du Wei just went out and walked less than two streets, when he saw several horses galloping towards him, the leading one was his subordinate business manager Zack Jr.

This guy like a big horse monkey saw Du Wei from afar, turned over and jumped off the horse, without even caring about the etiquette, the first sentence was to complain: "My lord! My boss! Next time you make such a Before the genius idea comes, can you say hello to me first! You see, by tonight at most, all the weapon shops in the imperial capital will be sold out! This is a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity! This kind of news, you You should have told me in advance, so that I can stock up on a batch of weapons, and this time I can make a fortune! Alas... Unfortunately, this old guy from Delan Mountain Warcraft is cheaper! I heard early in the morning that that guy spent the night They sent people to several large warehouses outside the imperial capital, dragged all the inferior weapons and armors that could not be sold in several large carts, and dragged them all into the city early this morning to dump them!"

Seeing the way little Zach gritted his teeth, Du Wei just smiled and casually comforted him.Only then asked: "Are you in such a hurry that you just came to complain to me?" "Of course not." Little Zach shook his head: "I didn't come to you to complain, but to ask about this matter, do you have any other plans. This is a big event! The empire has not experienced excitement for many years Right! At this time, in my opinion, it’s just piles of gold coins! If I miss this opportunity, my little Zach is simply an idiot!” Du Wei laughed, and waved his hands to this guy: "Come here with your ears, I have a few tricks, you are so so..." After hearing a few words, little Zach's eyes lit up immediately, and his face smiled like a flower. After nodding repeatedly, he greeted Du Wei and galloped away with his people on horseback. Du Wei watched these guys go away, and then sighed: "Mistake! Why did I forget to take the opportunity to dump weapons... In the next few months, warriors from all over the mainland who came to the imperial capital one after another, at least There must be thousands of people." He rode south with Old Smoke for a while, but he couldn't move when he was one street away from the Knights Association!There is almost a sea of ​​people in front of it, and the people on the street are so crowded that they can't even get through the gaps! The boiling human voice almost knocked off the roof.This is too busy for the soldiers of the public security station. In the nearby streets, the imperial capital public security station has temporarily dispatched three times more manpower, but it is not enough. Du Wei sat on the horse, looked at the swarming crowd in the distance, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we don't have to go there." At this moment, the Knights Association was surrounded early in the morning.Even Deron was taken aback when he opened the door in the morning! Outside the Knights Association, the streets are crowded with people. Countless fighters of all levels in different clothes, holding various weapons, have long lined up outside the gate of the Knights Association. In addition, there are a large number of citizens who came to see the excitement after hearing the news, those who passed by stopped, and those thieves and pickpockets who took advantage of the crowd to make a fortune, etc... Even Old Dove, standing upstairs and watching the scene on the street, couldn't help but shiver: "My God! I've lived on this street all my life, but I've never seen it so lively Pass." Deron's forehead was covered with sweat. He originally thought the same as Du Wei: I was afraid that not many people would come over in the first few days. He originally planned to move a table at the gate of the Knights Association, and slowly register those who signed up. Well, who would have thought of such a scene? But when Delong just put down the table, set up the chairs, and sat down to register in person, within half an hour, all the registration forms he had prepared had been snatched up. Fortunately, there were soldiers from the public security station to maintain order, and Delong yelled out: "Anyone who violates the order will be disqualified." This made the crowd a little quieter. Soon, Delong hurriedly asked someone to go to the Tulip family for help: at least send some more people to help!Otherwise, Delong would not be able to keep busy even if he broke his hand to record the information of the applicants by himself! ... At this time, Du Wei had already arrived in the palace.When he saw the heavy traffic near the Cavaliers Association, he immediately gave up his plan to see Deron and went directly to the palace. After all, there is still a big show to be performed tonight. Festive dinner! ... Arriving directly at the bedroom where His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI lived, Du Wei did not let Lao Yan go in with him. The palace guards at the door had already been removed, and Lao Yan was somewhat curious as he stood alone outside the hall. When Du Wei walked into the palace, he saw Groom, a tailor, sitting in a chair in front of the mirror, carefully looking at himself in the mirror, and seemed a little nervous. Du Wei sighed. He could understand Groom's mood at the moment. After all, people are always nervous before major events happen.What's more, tonight is not just a big test for him... and the result of the test is also helpless: even if he passes it smoothly, what awaits him is death! Groom's face was very pale. When Du Wei walked behind him silently and put his hand on his shoulder, he reacted suddenly, as if he was taken aback.When he saw Du Wei's face, he calmed down a little. Du Wei was a little uneasy: he was too nervous and scared.In this mental state, people can easily collapse! "Groom." Du Wei tried his best to calm his voice: "I think it's tonight...do you understand?" "I understand." Groom bit his lip, but his eyes were a little uncertain: "My lord, I... can I fool everyone? I mean, I look like... like six Your Majesty?" "No, you don't look like it." Du Wei's answer stunned the tailor, but he soon heard Du Wei categorically shouted: "Because you are! Today, you are His Majesty the Emperor! His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI! !" Du Wei brought a glass of water casually, and quietly squeezed a drop of ice berry juice into it—this kind of thing not only has hallucinatory effects, but if taken in small amounts, it can act as a certain sedative and analgesic.And now, it was clear that Groom needed some composure! Taking the cup with trembling hands, Groom drank all the water in the cup in one gulp, and even choked a few times.But soon, the medicine kicked in, and he looked much quieter. "I know you're scared." Du Wei whispered in his ear: "Groom, think about your wife, your daughter! You must complete today's task well... Think about them! You can Imagine: you are fighting for them today! If you do well, they can live a prosperous and happy life for the rest of their lives!" "For...they..." The tailor's eyes were blank for a while, and finally gradually gained focus. Seeing this guy's more and more determined eyes, Du Wei heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued to tell him: "Remember my words! Groom, you must stay calm at night. You don't need to say anything, just be indifferent and proud. It’s fine to be dismissive of everything and impatient! As for your mental state, that’s the most suitable! Because everyone knows that since the handing over of power, His Majesty the old emperor has been very depressed! Groom! You are perfect! Believe me, tonight will be a success. You just need to do what I tell you, I promise, everything will be smooth, very simple!" "And what you promised me..." Groom raised his head and stared at Du Wei. "I will keep my promise." Du Wei replied immediately. "Ok……" With a long sigh, Groom lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if closing his eyes for rest. As soon as he closed his eyes, a long time passed, and even Du Wei forgot how much time had passed. Finally, after a long time, Groom suddenly opened his eyes! His eyes were full of peace, even... there was something more. At this moment, he didn't even look at Du Wei, leaned on the chair, stood up slowly, then turned around, his face was calm, although he was a little pale, but he was no longer afraid! "Duke Tulip, I'm hungry." His voice was very slow: "Ask the servants to bring in some food... I don't want to wait until the banquet starts tonight with an empty stomach!" Du Wei's eyes lit up! At this moment, Groom seems to be possessed by the soul of the old emperor! ! "Also... Let the servants prepare my evening clothes, I can change after eating! I don't want to lose the royal dignity in dressing!" "His Majesty the Emperor" said coldly. Du Wei stared intently at the "Emperor" in front of him, his eyes met the other's for a while, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" Soon the court servants brought the food, and the ceremonial officers and other messengers brought the dresses for tonight's feast. During the process of changing clothes, His Majesty's face was indifferent and expressionless, with a hint of impatience and helplessness in his eyes. Everything is flawless.Those court servants who changed his clothes didn't know it, and they still served His Majesty to change his clothes tremblingly-everyone knew that the old emperor after losing power was moody! A set of red costumes, with a thick top-quality Firefox fur collar hanging around the neck, a servant lying on the ground at his feet, gently wiping the leather boots with a pure white silk scarf, while four beautiful court ladies behind him, The delicate little hands helped His Majesty fasten the buttons on the clothes, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle. Finally, Du Wei looked at the "Augustine VI" in the mirror. He smiled slightly, turned around and took the emperor's scepter from a waiter behind him, and handed it over with both hands: "Your right Staff, Your Majesty." "Thank you, Grand Duke." His Majesty Augustine VI just snorted, glanced coldly at Du Wei from the corner of his eyes, then turned and walked out with his chin raised. ... Qingfeng Festival is an important traditional festival on Roland Continent. In terms of importance, it is second only to the annual summer festival and New Year in people's minds!It is considered by the Roland people to be the third most important festival of the year. This festival falls on October 15 every year.It is the season when all things bear fruit and celebrate the harvest of the year! As a traditional festival, it is said that thousands of years ago, the Roland people used to set up a large fire pillar on the square in the town every autumn, after a year of hard work and when the crops were harvested, and dance around the fire pillar , to thank God for a year of good harvest and peace, and more importantly, to thank God for his blessing during the good harvest, so that this year's harvest can be enough to feed people, and there will be a lot of savings. Therefore, there is also an informal folk saying for Qingfeng Festival, which is called "Qing Yu Nian". (Hey, make fun of me~) ... His Majesty Augustine VI walked out of his bedroom.It was already evening at this moment, and outside the palace, Prince Regent Chen of the empire had brought a large number of golden armored warriors, as well as a long guard of honor, ceremonial officers, court ladies and so on. Seeing the old emperor walking out, Prince Chen looked at the indifferent old man in the front who was wearing a gorgeous dress and holding a scepter, his expression was in a daze for a moment... But soon, he reacted immediately, took two steps quickly, and under the eyes of everyone, he bent down and saluted. The old emperor nodded to him, then held his head high and walked in the front, heading towards the main hall in front of the palace.Prince Chen followed one step behind him, Du Wei followed two steps behind, and the other guards and court servants lined up to follow behind. Tonight, the largest main hall in the palace was brightly lit, while outside, eight pairs of burly strong men were naked to the waist, showing their strong muscles, wearing golden trousers that symbolized a good harvest, and holding sledgehammers in their hands.Every two people stand on both sides of a big drum that is as tall as one person. And when the group of His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI came, the two wrestlers beat the drum vigorously every time they passed a big drum! Boom!Boom!Boom boom boom! ! As His Majesty arrived at the gate of the main hall, the drums rang loudly, and the guards of honor on both sides blew their loud horns! Amidst the majestic rituals and music, a court etiquette officer in full costume stood at the entrance of the hall and announced loudly: "Everyone, please welcome the supreme ruler, the owner of the continent! His Majesty the Emperor of the Roland Empire is here!!" Following this loud voice, the main hall immediately fell into absolute silence after a buzzing sound! The main hall is brightly lit and carefully arranged. The ceiling is inlaid with countless gemstones, exuding magical light, illuminating the main hall like daytime! Groom walked into the hall slowly, and immediately heard the sound of rustling robes, and saw at least hundreds of male and female nobles in grand gowns standing on both sides of the hall! When I took the first step into the hall, all the people bowed their heads deeply, and then knelt on the ground on one knee, no one dared to look up at me! At this moment, Groom's heart suddenly trembled violently! These people... these people! ! Those nobles in gorgeous robes, some of them are generals, some are ministers, some are prime ministers, some are marquises, and earls...Which one of these people usually has a proud belly and an arrogant look?For a small person like myself, I am afraid that even if he lies in front of them, he may not let them take a look! Those beautiful women!They wore the most luxurious and alluring evening dresses, some with bare white shoulders and half breasts, and their bodies were covered with fragrant perfumes - among them were duchesses, marquises, countesses... and many more The most important ones are the daughters of those aristocratic and wealthy families.These beautiful women, I'm afraid I can't even take a look at them on weekdays... But now, all these people, these men, women... They are all obediently kneeling in front of her, prostrate at her feet... prostrate at her—a tailor's feet! Ha ha ha ha!How interesting!What an irony! ! ! At this moment, Groom was briefly absent-minded, his eyes swept across the audience, and he stopped involuntarily. At this time, Prince Chen and Du Wei, who were behind him, saw him stop, and their hearts immediately rose to their throats! But then, the "His Majesty Emperor Augustine VI" finally took a deep breath, and then let out an obviously disdainful and impatient "hum" sound from his nasal cavity. Then he strode forward with his head held high, holding the scepter, and strode in. He walked all the way on the red carpet, with a hint of disdain and arrogance in his eyes. Prince Chen was finally relieved. Seeing the tailor's "perfect" performance, he was full of surprises. He couldn't help but look back at Du Wei. The meaning of that look was clearly: "how did you do it?"
