Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

On the day of the Ice and Snow Festival, the streets were empty for thousands of people.

It seemed that many orcs appeared in the palace overnight, shoulder to shoulder, and their sleeves turned into darkness.Although it was winter and the cold wave had just passed, it was so hot that I was sweating because I was among the crowd.

The cheers were deafening, and the orcs rushed towards the palace in a crowd. A red and yellow flag was erected every other place on the side of the road, and orc soldiers in red soft armor stood upright on both sides, forming a solid wall at a glance.Bright flags flutter, colorful flowers surround the palace, and various ice sculptures stand here. Although it is a world of ice and snow, it is decorated extremely beautifully.

The guests who came from far and wide cheered loudly, not only orcs, but also humans, elves and dwarves, and some more unknown races.Although it was crowded, it was fairly orderly. There were many shops along the street. Noah and Aldrich were caught in the colorful crowd, walking passively with the crowd.

"Those who wear red soft armor are the guards, and those who wear yellow soft armor are the royal guards." Aldrich whispered in Noah's ear: "The guards are also considered to be part of the imperial army, and the captain is Her Royal Highness. , all these years, he is the one who conveys all kinds of news from the palace to the princess..."

Noah looked back at him blankly, and asked loudly, “What did you say?”

There was no way, it was too noisy, there were cheers one after another, there were vendors hawking, gun salutes, all kinds of sounds mixed together, the eardrums were numb, and he couldn't hear what Aldrich was saying at all.

Aldrich: "...It's okay, let's talk when we go back."

"I saw a seller of frozen brown sugar over there just now, do you want it?" Noah asked loudly.

Aldrich waved his hand: "That kind of thing is a scam to outsiders, it's expensive, and it doesn't taste good!"

At this time, Julian walked towards them with difficulty, holding three strings of crystal clear red jelly candies, and Evelia lay on his head.

"Frozen brown sugar?" Noah's eyes lit up.

Julian nodded: "Evelia must buy it, but I don't like to eat this kind of thing."

Evelia looked at the frozen brown sugar with sparkling eyes, and Julian gave Noah and Aldrich a bunch, and Evelia gnawed on the rest.

Noah happily took the frozen brown sugar, which looked very beautiful like a gem, and took a bite expectantly.

"...Bah, it's not delicious at all." Noah took the frozen brown sugar aside in disgust, Aldrich took it, and silently ate the two bunches of frozen brown sugar.

Before the royal parade, Noah and the others also enjoyed the happiness of ordinary tourists for a while, watching the flower market to buy things and so on.

Evelia squatted on Julian's head. Julian stood out from the crowd. Looking down at the dense crowd, she admired the person who came up with the idea of ​​the ice and snow festival.

The Ice and Snow Festival lasted for three days. Although members of the royal family only showed up on the first day, those tourists who traveled thousands of miles to the cold and windy palace must stay for a few more days. As far as I can see, the economic benefits created by the Ice and Snow Festival are unimaginable. Countless money poured into this ice and snow city every moment.And this does not damage the majesty of the royal family, but makes them more popular.

Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums, and the noise of the crowd boiled instantly. Evelia looked in the direction where the crowd was rushing, and saw a convoy slowly waking up, with a golden royal guard in front of her. , all of them are imposing, exuding the beauty of power.Behind them were a few more attendants, and then a huge Wulong with a red chariot on his back appeared, and in the chariot was His Majesty the King.

"It's Yalong!"

"Only the king of the orc empire can make the dragons surrender!"

"May God bless my king." The beastman's characteristic prayer, without naming names, meant that all the gods in the sky had better bless them.

Wherever His Majesty the King went, all the people bowed their heads. Noah took the opportunity to glance at him, thinking that His Majesty seems to be in a good mood today.

The lively scene fell silent the moment His Majesty the King passed by, and Noah took the opportunity to whisper to Aldridge, "With so many people today, the Guards must be very hard."

Just when the king appeared, Noah noticed that at least three groups of people nearby moved, their eyes dodged, obviously they were not serious tourists.When they sneaked away from the crowd, another group of orcs came up silently and pinned them to the ground.

"The Ice and Snow Festival has been held for so many years, and they are very experienced in how to protect the king's safety." Aldrich whispered, "It's different here. Although there are many assassins, there is no king who died because of an assassination in the history of the empire."

It's different in the Human Empire. The royal family is not very valuable, and there are often news that the king was assassinated and died.The death of a king causes far less sensation than the death of a pope.

In the south of the Shilan Empire, there was a king of a small principality. Because he offended the church, he fell ill within one month of his reign, and died two days later.

Noah was amazed, and continued to look behind the convoy.

Behind the king was the princess' car. Diana looked down at the crowd below in a standard sitting posture. When she saw Aldridge and the others, she showed a bright smile—she was in a good mood today.

"Ahhhhhhh the princess smiled at me!!"

"It's Your Highness the Princess!!" The people around screamed: "Your Highness the Princess!!!"

Noah: "..." He silently covered his ears.

The people who were respectfully saluting just now became crazy in an instant. If it weren't for the defenders blocking the front, they might rush to Diana in a swarm.

The orc next to them saw their indifference, and said excitedly to Noah: "Friend, don't you know our princess?"

"I know..." Noah added silently in his heart, and he was quite familiar with it.

"Our Princess Diana is so beautiful and powerful, kind and kind." The orc said intoxicatedly: "Do you know how many battles she fought? It is because of Her Royal Highness the Princess guarding the border that the empire is stable today."

"But hasn't Princess Diana been back for a long time?" For example, Prince Feite thought that since she hasn't been back for so long, many people must have forgotten her.

Thinking of this, Noah glanced at the back of the convoy. Although Prince Feite was also smiling, he was holding the scepter tightly, and his joints were almost white.

Before Diana came back, under the guidance of the people behind him, he had worked hard to spread the crimes of the princess acting recklessly on the border, spending the country's treasury for no reason, colluding with the enemy to falsely report military achievements, and so on.At that time, the effect was quite good. A small number of orcs believed it, and many of them fished in troubled waters. In short, His Majesty the King almost ordered Diana to resign and return to the palace with an edict.But at that time, there happened to be a very important battle, and His Majesty the King silently withdrew the edict. After Her Royal Highness commanded the battle successfully, no one who had any objections to Princess Diana dared to speak out.

He said he would be beaten.

Noah only glanced at it, then turned around.

"It means that she has worked hard at the border for many years." The orc was still talking endlessly: "Oh, Her Royal Highness has worked so hard, and I actually hope that she can come back to rest, but the border can't do without her..."

As he spoke, he realized that his target had disappeared, and those humans had already disappeared into the crowd.

After the royal family had finished their journey, they rested in the palace square, where a banquet had already been set up. After His Majesty the King sat down, the others took their seats one by one.

At this time, Noah and Aldrich had already stood behind Princess Diana.

Aldrich imitated what the orc said to Diana, and then said softly: "There are some things that the people can see."

He was cornering the corner to comfort Diana yesterday. What she did for the empire is put there. Some people can turn things around with a touch of their lips, but people are sometimes not easy to fool.

Noah thought to himself that it was a rare thing that those orcs were not deceived.The masses are the easiest to be guided and deceived. Individuals living among the masses can easily lose their ability to think for themselves.Most of the masses are just echoing what others say, easily sentenced to life, easily sentenced to death, a mob.

Diana smiled because of Aldridge's comfort. She stared at His Majesty the King, not paying attention to Feite at all.

Fate blushed and could barely breathe.

The banquet has begun.

It was a dinner party, and the sky was already dark at this time, and almost all the important ministers of the Orc Empire were sitting here.

Noah thought, if someone puts a disaster vortex or space annihilation here at this time, the scene must be very exciting.But it was not an easy task. Noah glanced vaguely at the old orc behind the king, and suddenly trembled and his hairs stood up.

The trump card of the orc empire - the great shaman.

Noah didn't know much about shamanism and witchcraft. This is also a very mysterious field in the orc empire. The great shamans of all generations have served the royal family and only acted at the most critical time.

He exhaled lightly, and then saw the great shaman turn his gaze to him, showing a kind smile.

Noah: "..." Scared.

When the banquet lasted in the middle, His Majesty the King waved his hand, and everyone was singing together. The big shaman took a step forward, stretched out his skinny fingers, and pointed to the sky.

boom--!

Colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the whole palace was covered in gorgeous and gorgeous brilliance. The fireworks in the sky were extremely beautiful and dazzling.That skinny finger seemed to ignite all the colors in the sky, giving birth to infinite beauty.

And the tourists outside the palace also stopped one after another, looking up at the short-lived fireworks in the sky obsessively.

"When I was at the border, I always missed the fireworks in the palace..." Diana whispered.

Aldrich is also very impressed, he has never seen this.

Noah was dumbfounded: Your Excellency the Great Shaman, is this the most critical time? !
