Chapter 519 Dragon Fire Festival
The Dragon and Fire Festival, which is one of the traditional festivals of the Dogrand Kingdom, commemorates the historical event of the "Battle of the Dead River" in 2188 in the Godfall calendar.

At that time, the "Dispute of the Eight Kings" was in full swing. In the massive Battle of the Dead River, the "Old King" Doggrand I was besieged by the six kings' coalition forces in the Dead River. At the end of the day, the "Dragon Queen" Sophie Regnome descended from the sky riding the black dragon Nidhogg, and evaporated the dead river with his turbulent dragon breath, helping the main force of the ancient king to escape.

Afterwards, the ancient king set off a frenzy of counterattacks, wiped out the other six kings in one fell swoop, expelled their forces to the northern region, and finally made an alliance with the Dragon Queen to establish this great kingdom hand in hand.

On the day of the Dragon and Fire Festival, the major cities in Dogrand will set off blazing and gorgeous fireworks, simulating the scene where the Dragon Queen and Ned Hogg descended from the sky and breathed out the turbulent dragon's breath, so as to commemorate the eternal laurel and the dragon. Changed blood alliance.

The Dragon and Fire Festival is the favorite festival for children. They may not know the epic Battle of Dead River or how symbolic this festival is, but as long as there are lively fireworks to watch, no matter what it is To commemorate someone, happy to be done.

However, for the soldiers of the Public Security Department, the Dragon Fire Festival will be very painful, because the task of this night is extremely difficult, and the fireworks in the sky are not only a pleasing scenery, but also a huge safety hazard.

When fireworks are set off, embers will inevitably fall from the sky, and if sparks fall on the thatch, it is no joke to start a big fire.

In order to avoid fire hazards, the fireworks display location of the Danyu City Dragon Fire Festival is set in the Nancheng area.

The climate of Danyu City is like spring all year round, and there is almost no temperature difference between seasons, but the wind direction will still change with the seasons.

In the "winter" season like now, the north wind blows from the north, and the fireworks are set off in the south city. After the fireworks are set off, the sparks and embers will be blown to the southern suburbs by the wind, where there are rocky mountains. No combustibles.

Even if there was no wind that day, and the embers of Mars fell straight down, the buildings in Nancheng were mainly made of stone bricks, so they would not burn.

The most important thing is that the eight major granaries are located in the north city, and the separation between the north and the south is the greatest protection for the granaries. In addition, the granaries are always guarded by professional fire-fighting soldiers, and the hidden danger of fireworks is almost zero for them.

On the night of the Dragon Fire Festival, the southern part of Danyu City was already crowded with people. Every family came to the street. The wife was holding the arm of her husband, and the child was riding on the neck of the father. They were full of joy and laughter, welcoming the arrival of the festival together.

Under the dispatch of officials at all levels, Nancheng has already cleared out a set-off area, and the packaged fireworks are neatly prepared, and the soldiers responsible for the set-off have also been waiting by the side, waiting for the moment of celebration.

When there are fireworks, there is naturally a viewing area. A nearby viewing platform is located on a high ground with excellent views. It is undoubtedly a VIP position. The people who can watch the fireworks here are the real officials of Danyu City, or they are related to the executive government residence. Close merchants and nobles.

However, what is more subtle is that the celebration is about to begin, and the two main officials, Consul Gome and Inspector Lin Gengsen, were not present, and the middle seat was empty.

While the rest of the officials were waiting quietly, a guard of the Consul’s Mansion hurried up to the viewing platform and reported to the other eight officials in the front row: “My lords, the Consul and the Prosecutor asked us to come here to pass on a message, the two of them Your Excellency ate some stale ingredients at night, and you are not feeling well, so you won’t be able to participate in the Dragon Fire Festival tonight.”

After hearing this, the security captain slapped the armrest of the seat and scolded: "What's the matter with the chef in your house?! How dare you give stale ingredients to the two adults?! What's the name of this chef? I'll have him taken away immediately. arrest!"

The guard said submissively: "My lord, please calm down. This is just a momentary negligence of the kitchen, and the chef himself didn't do it on purpose. The consul has already forgiven him."

"The Consul has a big heart, that idiot is very lucky." The security captain stood up first, looked around the crowd and said, "The Consul is in poor health, we can't sit still here, don't watch the fireworks, everyone Let’s go to the executive residence to visit your lord together.”

The guard hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The Consul has already mentioned the order, and you don't need to go to see the sick. He just wants to rest at the mansion by himself. You can watch the fireworks here with peace of mind."

"This..." the captain of the security team was in trouble for a while, mainly because he didn't know whether Gomez's order was sincere, or it was some kind of test.

If it's sincere.

If it's a test, if someone deliberately pretends to be sick to test your sincerity, you really won't go here, watching the fireworks here stupidly, there is a high probability that you will not be included in this year's end of the year evaluation.

The guards seemed to see the concerns of the officials, and added specifically: "My lords really don't need to visit the sick, just stay here. The consul has specifically told you not to let him spoil everyone's interest."

Having said all this, it is not appropriate to make a forced visit, so the security captain sat down and said silently: "Then respect is worse than obedience, let the consul and the inspector rest in peace, and wait for them to recover. , let's visit again."

The guard handed over his errand, heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and left with a nod.

Not long after, the person in charge of the Dragon Fire Festival ran onto the stage and asked, "My lords, it's almost time. Do you want to start setting off the fireworks?"

Looking from the heights of the viewing platform, the bustling crowd was separated by soldiers in various lanes. Obviously, everyone couldn't hold back their enthusiasm for watching the excitement, and they were all clamoring for the fireworks to start quickly. The voices are mixed together, very noisy.

There are also a few drunken drunkards who took advantage of the festive atmosphere to get drunk and make trouble, pushing here and touching there, causing complaints, and were soon arrested by security soldiers who heard the news and sent to the Public Security Bureau to eat in prison .

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heated, the security captain asked his colleagues around him: "If you have no objections, then..."

"Let's get started, don't keep everyone waiting." The colleagues all agreed.

Soon, the security captain was elected to speak. He got up and walked to the front of the viewing platform, drank a bottle of temporary amplification potion, his voice was amplified dozens of times in an instant, and his loud voice penetrated the bustling crowd : "People of Danyu City, today is a day full of commemorative significance. Today, 513 years ago, the Dragon Queen helped the ancient king out of trouble in the Battle of the Dead River, and joined hands with him to establish the great country of Dogland. We Light the most ardent flame to commemorate the eternal friendship between the Laurel and the Dragon! I declare now—"
