Shall we go to open up the wasteland together tomorrow?

Chapter 343 Mysterious Man

"Good luck to you guys~"

"Hehe, this time I must get the 'Professional Certificate'~"

Bingo, Lisa and others entered the Children's Park first. Only Ryder, who had passed the assessment, was not in a hurry to go in, but continued to taste the food at the 'Bonfire Festival'.

"This little cake is really delicious, the sweetness is very special..."

Ryder put a piece of light red cake into his mouth and tasted it carefully.

"It tastes like some kind of fermented berries."

He guessed uncertainly.

"Wow~ You are so amazing, you can taste the fermented raspberries at once."

At this time, a little girl with cherry red ponytails came over with a surprised look.

"My name is Xinya, thank you for tasting."

When Ryder saw such a cute little girl, his face turned red.

"Hello...Hello, I'm Ryder."

Xinya looked at the three silly hairs on Ryder's head and said in surprise: "Are you going to enter the Children's Park too?"

Ryder nodded.

"I heard that there is a career sequence for court chefs that seems quite interesting."

"Haha, I didn't expect that our goals are the same."

"Can I taste the food you made?"

"That... no problem."

...

Watching the two of them leave step by step, especially Ryder's reserved look, the other members of Fairy Tail looked amused.

"Hahaha, look at Ryder's nervous look, he is a beginner at first glance."

"You are not?"

"Ahem... I... I have a solid theoretical foundation."

Faced with Quinn's questioning, Alang awkwardly rubbed his cockscomb hairstyle again.

'Zizizizi'

A trace of blue lightning appeared.

"Dingdang~"

"Dingdangdang~"

"What's going on?"

Ethan watched a group of people start to walk towards the direction of the bell, so he also wanted to go and watch the fun.

"Tonight at 8 o'clock, the Fairy Tale Town Square will hold a grand 'Bonfire Festival' to light the bonfire totem. Everyone must attend on time."

"Bonfire Festival?"

"Well, the celebration of the Bonfire Festival is held every year."

"It's just..."

I don't know when the sheriff Uncle Hook appeared behind him.

"Uncle Hook, is there anything special this year?"

"Well... it's not special, but the 'Bonfire Festival' in previous years was held during the day and the bonfire totem was lit at night, but this year the bonfire totem was directly lit, which is really simple."

"But everyone should like it."

"Why?"

"Because the mayor is a chatterbox, the annual 'Bonfire Festival' will last for a long time, and everyone has long been tired of it."

"Then... why did the mayor make such an arrangement this year."

Ethan and Quinn looked at each other.

"Hey, who cares, do you know why everyone is so excited when they hear about the 'Bonfire Festival'?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Because at the Bonfire Festival, there will be royal family members with food made by court chefs."

"That taste... is really wonderful."

"Not only that, there will also be graceful court girls performing shows~~"

Uncle Hook winked like a naughty boy.

But his words really made the guys behind Ethan's eyes light up.

When the crowd dispersed, only Ethan and Quinn came to the corner.

"Do you also suspect the mayor?"

"Well, have you noticed that the mayor's recent behavior is very strange, different from what the townspeople said before."

"It's really strange that he doesn't go out for a big event like the Bonfire Festival."

"Yes, when I observed the wound on Master Ya Ge's back before, I found that the wound was small and a bit like the teeth of some beast."

"Beast teeth?"

Quinn frowned.

"Blood clan? Vampires!"

"An undead creature hidden among the nobles in the Middle Ages, afraid of sunlight, likes to suck human blood, and raises human blood through special rituals..."

"That's right, there has been no news about the blood clan for many years, and I'm not sure if it was done by the blood clan."

"Then let's find out tonight!"

...

Ethan looked up at the horizon.

A faint full moon was looming.

It was still early.

The bonfire festival was indeed grand.

It turned out that the fountain in the center of the Fairy Tale Town Square was actually a hidden huge altar.

After the water stopped flowing, it finally revealed its true appearance.

This is a nine-story tower structure.

The original water flow covered traces of rune carvings.

It really looks much more solemn.

"When will it start?"

"It should be soon."

"If it's eight o'clock, it's still early now."

"It turns out that the fountain is actually a tower."

"It's really spectacular."

"The mayor is here, the mayor is here."

There was a cheer in the square, and a passage was made in the crowd.

The leader was slightly fat, with gray hair, energetic, wearing a gentleman's tuxedo, leaning on a cane in his left hand, and greeting the people around him with a smile.

Behind him were four militia guards.

The four held swords in their hands, but for some reason they lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Very good, very good~"

Mayor Steve was a man who looked amiable.

"On the surface, he doesn't look like a murderer at all, but more like an aristocratic old man."

Quinn whispered.

"Haha, otherwise the vampires in the Middle Ages could have hidden for thousands of years."

While the two were muttering, Mayor Steve walked to the front of the sacrificial tower.

"I am honored to host this "bonfire festival" and I am also honored to invite more people to participate in this sacred ceremony."

"In a blink of an eye... I didn't expect... now..."

"Ah~ Woo~"

Ethan yawned.

This mayor is really a chatterbox.

He talked from dusk to the moon at its zenith.

"Bang~"

Suddenly, a firework lit up in the sky.

The mayor pouted his lips with unsatisfied thoughts and changed the subject: "Now, please welcome the royal guests~"

He waved his hands and suddenly a mirror appeared in front of him.

It turned out that he had been waiting for the signal of the royal family's arrival. Ethan had no doubt that if the royal family didn't come, this chatterbox mayor could talk all night.

As soon as the old mayor finished speaking, more and more fireworks bloomed in the sky, and then turned into a light curtain.

He got into the mirror in front of the mayor.

…

At this exciting moment, Ethan did not look at the glowing magic mirror.

Instead, he stared blankly at the outside.

At some point, a man in a cloak suddenly appeared there. He was tall and very eye-catching. From a distance, he looked like a curtain on the stage.

No one could see what he looked like under the cloak.

He was far away from the crowd, but he seemed to be in control of the whole scene.

Although he stood there motionless, he seemed to be able to appear in any corner in the next second.

He was not a spectator, nor a believer.

But Ethan smiled: I finally waited for you!
