The next morning.
The sun woke up Rock City.
The decorations in the city highlighted the festive atmosphere.
Alan got up early. In order to complete the fourth mission, he had prepared a lot for today.
Today was the time to harvest.
Morad brought the male waiters to the tavern early in the morning. In Alan’s backyard, a group of people was carrying barrels of wine out of the wine cellar.
Smelling the wine fragrance, everyone’s faces were full of smiles.
Orina dressed up meticulously and came to the tavern early in the morning.
According to the agreement, Alan would stay by Orina’s side today and take her to participate in the activities of the Harvest Festival.
Alan planned the entire Harvest Festival.
The buffet plan in the central square made all the residents in the town participate enthusiastically.
Everyone agreed with this new celebration mode.
“Can we go now?”
Orina was wearing a green low-cut dress today. She wore a necklace that was the same design as the seed of the Tree of Life on Alan’s neck.
Her smile was as pretty as a flower, and she wore a light layer of makeup. She looked very different from the usual Orina.
Alan was shocked by when she stuck her face right up against his. He was momentarily stunned and Orina caught his brief absent-mindedness.
“Okay, okay, okay…”
Alan held his wildly beating heart, his face flushed red, and he took a few steps back.
Seeing Alan’s blushing face, Orina smiled like a kitten who had successfully snuck away some food.
He didn’t make her wait long. The two walked out of the tavern side by side.
Alan tidied up a little today and was wearing new clothes. He did not have a chance to wear them since he made them, so today was his first appearance in them.
The two people walking together on the street were like a beautiful couple.
They attracted the attention of the neighbors. Usually, they only knew that Alan was a good-looking child, but they did not expect that the dressed-up young man walking out of his tavern had the temperament of a prince.
“The governor invited Sophia to be a judge of the competitions. You recommended her, didn’t you?”
The two of them were walking slowly towards the main street. Orina asked as they walked.
“Yes, mister Kramer said that he originally wanted to invite Olivia. Unfortunately, she returned to the Imperial City. At the last minute, he didn’t know who else to ask, so I recommended Sophia. Anyway, Sophia is also very beautiful. Moreover, in Rock City, Sophia is much more popular than the princess.”
Alan said smugly. Orina could feel the confidence and pride in his words without even looking at his expression.
“Oh, so Sofia’s popularity is so high in the city. It seems that our little Alan here is quite knowledgeable about the beautiful women in the city.”
The tone of Orina’s words made Alan feel a little strange. Before he could figure it out, a group of children running past Orina knocked her over…
She fell in Alan’s direction.
“Are you alright? Are you hurt?”
The children came and ran swiftly. There was no time to fuss about it. In that instant, Alan quickly held her steady.
Orina felt the warmth of Alan’s palm on her arm, and the tip of her ears turned slightly red.
The young man did not practice martial arts, so his body temperature was not very high. It was just warm.
The two of them were standing in a slightly intimate manner on the street. Alan lowered his head slightly and could see the beautiful girl’s chest.
With just one glance, Alan felt blood almost gushing out his nose…he quickly averted his gaze.
After this small episode, the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became slightly dreamy.
As they approached the main street, there were more and more people. The crowd that was shoulder-to-shoulder pushed the two closer. Their hands inadvertently touched and then separated as they walked, so on and so forth.
However, they never held each other’s hands.
The Harvest Festival was the biggest event in Rock City in the past two years.
All the residents in the city participated. Not to mention that Alan added many modern elements while planning this celebration, driving up everyone’s eagerness to participate.
Walking on the streets, one could see happy faces everywhere. People were exchanging food with each other and discussing the wine that was provided in the self-service area.
Many people also heard the name of the small tavern for the first time and knew that there was such a tavern in Rock City that brewed special drinks.
Whether it was Lafite or whiskey, they were both well-received.
Alan finally achieved his purpose of sponsoring this Harvest Festival.
In the backyard of the blacksmith shop, something seemed to be brewing in the air. After a wave of energy fluctuations, a dark and deep tunnel slowly opened.
After a while, when the tunnel gradually closed, a pitch-black kitten scuttled out from it.
Because it was running too fast and did not slow down in time, when it rushed out of the hole, it rolled three times on the ground until it hit the wall.
The little black cat, dizzy from the impact, struggled on the ground for a long time, but still could not get up.
At this moment.
There was a piercing white noise in the central square.
“Sting… Buzz…”
“Cough… Hey, hey, hey… can everyone hear me?”
Governor Kramer’s voice suddenly echoed throughout the city. The little black cat in the yard was frightened by the sudden noise. It was dizzy and couldn’t find its way, so it ran around in the blacksmith shop.
However, the process was a little tragic…
The cat was not clear-headed to begin with, and it was further frightened by the voice. While it was running around in the house, it kept knocking down all kinds of furniture and iron embryos until the black cat passed out. The blacksmith shop was in a mess.
Kramer’s voice echoed throughout the city. Alan was also the one to propose a magic loudspeaker. There were quite a few experts in the governor’s mansion. They were able to create this magic version of the loudspeaker in just a few days based on Alan’s description.
At this moment, Alan and Orina were standing side by side by the fountain in the central square. They originally planned to go to the game area for a walk.
He knew that the governor was going to talk about the rules to register for the competitions at this time.
Wayne dragged Abraham over and they also stood in the square to listen to the governor’s broadcast.
Most of the old drunkards in Rock City knew that today was the Harvest Festival and the biggest reward would be from the competitions that they were going to hear!
“Hello, residents. I’m the Governor of Rock City, Kramer. What I’m going to say next is the most important activity of this celebration, the harvest season competitions.”
The voice on the loudspeaker paused.
“These fun competitions are divided into three categories. The first category is the family-oriented ring-toss competition. The second category is the female-based cooking competition, and the last category is the male-based Ironman Triathlon, which would be shooting, a two-person three-legged obstacle race, and arm wrestling.
“In addition, we will be holding the drinking competition and an outdoor ball in the central square at night. All residents are invited to sign up for the competition. Have fun today!”
As the governor’s last words fell, the entire Rock City fell silent for a short while before an earth-shattering roar erupted. It seemed that only an even louder voice could express their happiness..
