King's Landing

King's Landing Second Element Volume 4 (Part I) Chapter 71, The North District is the strongest

——The boundary wall of the northeast, free areas, and commercial areas.

In the red window corridor decorated with red bricks and carved glass, a group of people from Shiliuye who have been strolling for several hours are walking along the corridor across the entire commercial area.

"——It’s so beautiful. There is no place like this in my hometown."

Asuka wearing a red dress is completely integrated into this dimly lit glass corridor, which is reflected by candlelight and glass.

"Is it called the Red Corridor? It looks like a shopping street. Are there any special products and limited items worth exploring?"

Eyes dyed red by candlelight swept across the shops on both sides, Ikuya looked very happy.

"It seems that nothing has changed here."

"Well, although it has not been here for three years, there is basically no change here."

Lili and Ren who have been here are very familiar with the environment. They introduced many places during the previous sightseeing.By the way, as the time was approaching noon, the female clerk retired, probably to prepare lunch for Bai Yacha, and the black rabbit who had been entrusted for a long time was also leaving with her. She had to work because of the referee's extra charge. Go on time.

"Huh? What is this..."

In the center of the corridor, huge dragon sculptures greeted everyone's eyes.

This is a dragon monument made of huge emerald-green glass. Seeing this sculpture, Ikuyo is holding his chest and turning around and studying.

"This is the original leader of "Salamandra", Master Xinghai Longwang, made by Master Sarah."

"Sarah?"

Asuka couldn't help being curious about the name Lily said.

"Well, Lord Sarah is the eldest daughter of the previous leader. I thought that this change must be her or Lord Mandela's successor, but I didn't expect it to fall on Sandora."

"Oh? So, this time I skipped the eldest daughter and the second son and let the daughters inherit directly?"

"Yes, with the power of Lord Sarah, he is absolutely capable of being the class dominator in the North District, but Sandora's words..."

While Ren was meditating on this matter, Shizuye suddenly said in a low voice with a sigh.

"The first generation leader "Xinghai Dragon King" carved from a large crystal that resembles obsidian in spirit, it means to be made by spirit...Hey! Isn't that a crystal like obsidian made by hand!?"

"Huh? It looks like crystals of obsidian? Isn't it glass?"

"No, obsidian is a kind of natural glass, a rare ore synthesized from the energy and heat generated by the impact of a meteorite. However,

It turned out to be artificially made... The producer named Sarah seems very interesting."

Ikuyo looked up at the dragon-shaped sculpture, with an interesting smile on his face.

"Well, I will definitely recommend Sister Sixteen and Miss Asuka."

"Huh...huh...huh..."

At this time, although a small but crisp sound reverberated in the corridor, looking in the direction of the sound source, a candlestick with candles and a flying lantern were happily leaping past everyone.

"Is this, is this a walking candlestick? Is it really walking? It's incredible."

Asuka hurriedly followed.The walking candlestick seems to be the work of the art exhibition, and there is a billboard with "Willo'wisp" on it.

"Huh, two-legged candlesticks and flying lanterns... Then is there a pumpkin monster? It is a monster that will appear in the festival called Wanshi, have you heard of Shizuya?"

"what?"

Hearing Asuka's abrupt speech, Ikuyo frowned in surprise.

"Hey, Miss, you are too ignorant of the world, right? The pumpkin monster refers to Jack's pumpkin lantern? It's all in this era, at least you have to understand Halloween—ah, yes...Miss, you seem to be from the war The era not long after?"

Suddenly it occurred to me that there should be no such overseas customs in Asuka's time, so the strange color in my eyes disappeared.

"Really... In the age of Sixteen Nights, Halloween is no longer a rare thing?"

"Yes, Miss, do you like holiday events like Halloween?"

"It can't be regarded as a liking, but when I heard about this festival when I was young... I thought it was a very beautiful event."

Asuka raised her head and looked at the sky, squinting her eyes as if looking into the distance, except that there was a self-deprecating smile on her mouth.

"The place I used to live was really boring. Although the status of "Miss Consortium" sounds great...but the most important parents are no longer there, and I am born with the power to manipulate people's hearts. In the form of isolation, they were put into dormitory schools."

"...Huh? That really doesn't fit your style. Can't you just run away early?"

"Yes, you are right! If I did not receive the invitation letter, I plan to take the opportunity to return to my hometown and run away. The destination is... By the way, to celebrate the end of the war, maybe I have already experienced what I just mentioned. Halloween."

Asuka stood in the middle of the corridor, showing a lovely smile with loneliness.

"Well, Miss Asuka, if it's Halloween, I have it in Hakoi."

"Huh? Really?"

Hearing Ren's speech, Asuka immediately confirmed with surprise.

"Well, but Hakatai’s Halloween is a little different. It is a festival held by the strongest community in the lower part of the North District, "Willo'wisp" (Wisp-Cangyan), which is equivalent to festivals and gift game contests."

"The strongest community in the North District!? Hey, wait... You said it was "Willo'wisp"!? Doesn't that mean that the candlestick just now is their work?"

All of a sudden, I focused my attention on this, the strongest community, this is not something you can forget about it.

"Yes, yes, "Willo'wisp" is a community that establishes a base area in the six-figure outer door. Not only do they have strong power and gifts, they are also welcomed by the entire lower class in terms of handicrafts."

"...Really? Is there such a powerful community?"

Seeing Ikuyo's eyes beaming toward the candlestick that had flown far away, Ren continued talking cautiously.

"Moreover, besides that, the strongest in the northern district who has the same reputation as Lord Shiroyasha-"Halloween Queen" also has an extraordinary relationship with "Willo'wisp"."

"Halloween Queen!? This title is unforgettable!"

"Well, that, I think it's better not to provoke Sister Sixteen, because that adult... is the only demon king in the entire Hakata who can be named "Queen", and her strength is far from imagined."

Panic waved his hands to remind Sixteen Nights, Ren understands the horror of the strongest in the northern district. Even the leader at the time warned the entire community. In the entire lower level, the most unprovoked is the queen. As for the strongest, probably It's Bai Yasha.

But Ikuyao didn't mean to listen at all, raising her head to look at the distant sky, her eyes seemed to penetrate time and space.

"Is it the only one? It seems necessary to have a face-to-face, Your Majesty the strongest Queen in the North District!"

"Huh? Wait, wait..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Now that I have come here, it would be a pity if I didn't read the special products and limited products here."

Ignoring Ren's loss, after I took back his gaze, I once again focused on the shops on both sides.
