The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the air was refreshing.
Before the sky had completely darkened, bonfires were lit all over Roland, and the festive atmosphere lasted from day to night.
The players were dressed in the traditional costumes of the main cities of Roland and shuttled through the streets and alleys.
In addition to the local Roland activities, there were also many smart players who had taken up positions and set up all kinds of stalls, selling snacks that they had invented themselves.
The snack business was especially prosperous, because the raw materials were cheap and the prices were not expensive, so it was very popular with the NPCs. Just today's celebration made many players earn a lot of money.
Of course, in addition to the snack stalls, there were also stalls selling weapons, equipment, and all kinds of handicrafts. There were even stalls selling acrobatics.
People walked on the streets with lanterns in their hands.
It was supposed to be an exotic Roland's bonfire party, but the players had turned it into a temple fair.
The town of Doha had now become one of the most prosperous towns in the Imperial City.
At this time, the streets were also bustling with people, and it was extraordinarily lively.
Xu Sili walked on the streets with a lantern in his hand, which he had just bought from a stall.
These lanterns were made by the players, and they even hung lanterns all over the town to make this bonfire party feel more special.
When it came to eating, drinking, and playing, the people of Roland could not compare to this group of players.
Xu Sili felt the atmosphere in the town, looked at the lanterns in the hands of the people, and felt as if he had returned to the real world, and was participating in a traditional festival in an ancient town.
Today was indeed a day worth remembering, the fruits of victory belonged to Roland, and also to the brave people from the other world.
On the big side, Roland, which had been living under the shadow of the Interstellar Beasts, needed this kind of festival to dispel the fog and welcome a new life.
On the small side, it was better to strike a balance between work and rest, so that they could work harder.
"Biu — Bang! Biu — Bang! "
At this time, gorgeous fireworks were shot into the sky, blooming into colorful flowers in the night sky.
Xu Sili raised his head to look at them. He felt that they were indeed players. They had so many tricks up their sleeves. However, if they could even make a timed bomb, what more these little fireworks?
After watching for a while, Xu Sili turned to look at Si Sheng.
The man had been protecting him by his side, making sure that no one could touch him. It was just like that night when he first wandered around the inner city.
He lowered his eyebrows and saw the blue stone hanging from Si Sheng's chest. It was obviously an ordinary item, but he always carried it with him and protected it well.
Xu Sili smiled gently. She raised her head and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Let's go to Dushuang City to eat hot pot."
Because of his closeness, Si Sheng's expression softened a little. However, he was still a little surprised when he heard his words.
"It's still snowing in Dusk Frost City," he reminded.
Dusk Frost City was covered in ice and snow all year round. It would only warm up slightly during the summer. Now that it was spring, it was still a world of ice and snow.
Si Sheng knew that Xu Sili was afraid of the cold.
"Don't I still have you?"
Xu Sili smiled and snuggled into his arms. "I heard that the hot pot and barbeque shop run by the brave ones are very delicious. I haven't tried it yet."
It was impossible for Si Sheng to reject him in the first place, not to mention under such an earnest gaze and smile.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
He hugged the young man back and disappeared in a flash. No one in the crowd noticed them, and no one noticed that they had disappeared.
The situation was similar to theirs in another street.
A silver-haired, purple-eyed man stood on the bustling street. He was looking up at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky. The light from the fireworks shone on his face, making his bright eyes sparkle.
Senos looked at the colorful lights and asked curiously, "Feng Qing, what is that?"
The black-haired man standing beside him was taking a lantern from a vendor. He looked at Senos and answered, "Fireworks. Haven't you seen them before?"
Senos shook his head. Just as he reluctantly looked away, the handle of the lantern was shoved into his hand.
His purple eyes lit up. The shape of the lantern looked like a long-eared beast, but it was not as ferocious. It looked soft and cute.
"Thank you, Feng Qing."
He looked up and smiled at the man.
Xu Fengqing glanced at him and reached out to help him put on his hood.
The cloak that Thanos was wearing was a treasure that he had obtained from the ruins. It could hide his features.
Senos was very popular among the players. If he was recognized, he would have been surrounded by the players. It was almost impossible for him to leisurely stroll around the streets and watch the fireworks.
"Let's go. Didn't you want to go to the hot springs?" Xu Fengqing looked at the map and pulled him to another street.
He promised Senos that he would go to the hot springs with him after the Beast Tide ended. He didn't expect him to remember. When he went online today, he heard him mention it.
Xu Fengqing was obsessed with work. He didn't even have time to rest, let alone go to the hot springs.
Now that there was a 99% realistic game, it was a lot more convenient. He could experience all kinds of things at home that he couldn't do before.
This also made Xu Fengqing understand his second brother's idea. The Star Age would become a second world for humans in the future.
Of course, before they reached this goal, they still had a long way to go.
Senos followed beside him. The man held his wrist and led him. Because he was leading the way, he didn't pay attention to walking at all. His eyes kept looking around, looking at the streets.
Although he grew up in the Royal City, as the heir to the throne, learning and training took up most of his time. He didn't have much time to play.
When he went to the frontlines as an adult, he didn't have the chance to play around in the Royal City. He only attended a bonfire party like this two or three times in his memory.
But what he saw tonight was too different from what he remembered. Senos couldn't take it all in.
The people around him were laughing and making merry. It was an atmosphere full of joy and hope that Thanos had never experienced before, even before the beast tide.
He was immersed in it, and he felt like he was in a dream.
Senos couldn't help but wonder. Was he really back? Wasn't it just a beautiful dream he had during those four dark years?
The person in front of him suddenly stopped. He was caught off guard and bumped into him. His nose was sore.
It was also this pain that brought him back to reality from his daze.
"Are you okay?"
Xu Fengqing looked back at him. When he saw the system notification, he frowned. Xu Fengqing had dealt 10 points of physical damage to him.
Senos rubbed his nose and looked around at the lively scene. He smiled. "I'm fine."
He looked at Xu Fengqing and said, "Thank you, Fengqing."
Xu Fengqing looked at him helplessly. He didn't like it when he kept thanking him, especially when he didn't do anything.
"Let's go."
He led him through the crowd again, but this time he was more careful. He didn't forget to remind him, "Watch the road."
Senos nodded, but he couldn't help looking around.
He really, really liked this Roland. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Although there were many things that were unfamiliar to him, he could feel a thriving vitality. It was something he had never felt before.
Xu Fengqing looked back at him and sighed in his heart. He didn't say anything else and didn't let the crowd affect him.
Finally, they left the town of Doha and came to the hot springs resort near the town.
The hot springs resort usually had good business. Although it wasn't bad today, there weren't as many guests as usual, perhaps because they were attracted by the bonfire party.
Both of them were people with sensitive identities. Naturally, they couldn't go to an open-air spa. Fortunately, Xu Fengqing didn't lack money.
After they paid, a staff member led them to a secluded hut on the mountain.
They pushed open the door and walked in. There was a steaming hot spring and a small wooden hut next to it. They could change inside.
"All the independent hot springs in the resort are covered with anti-peeping magic circles. Those without access cards can't enter. If someone tries to force their way in, it will trigger the alarm."
"You can relax and bathe. You don't have to worry …"
The staff member paused and didn't continue, but Xu Fengqing got the gist of it.
Many players probably came to cause trouble when the hot springs resort was first built. That was why so many precautions were added later.
"Then, please enjoy. If you need anything, you can use the communication device to contact us."
After the staff member left, Senos took off his hood and looked at the private hot springs. He nodded with satisfaction.
"No wonder it can become the pillar of the town of Doha. This hot springs resort is really well run."
He looked like a leader on a private tour.
Xu Fengqing shook his head. Although he couldn't help but think of some business plans, since they were out for fun, there was no reason to think about business.
"Let's go in."
He pushed Senos into the wooden hut. When they came out again, both of them only had a towel wrapped around them.
Soaking in the steaming hot spring and looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, Xu Fengqing couldn't help but sigh comfortably.
In comparison, Senos was more reserved.
After watching Xu Fengqing soak in the water, he slowly dipped into the water and carefully moved to his side.
Xu Fengqing looked at him sideways.
He always knew that Senos was very fair, but with a sickly pallor. Now, perhaps because of the hot springs, his snow-white skin showed a faint pink.
It was not an exaggeration to say that his skin was white with a hint of rosy.
The hot springs weren't deep, only reaching the man's calves. As he got closer, the water slowly reached his waist, making his slender waist even more obvious.
After he sat down, the water level reached his chest, but it was neither too deep nor too shallow.
Senos sat beside Xu Fengqing. Compared to his height and healthy wheat-colored skin, he looked much thinner.
His face was a little hot, but under the steam, it wasn't obvious, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered.
When Xu Fengqing saw that he was seated, she retracted her gaze and browsed through the System Shop, preparing to buy some snacks and a bottle of low alcohol content wine.
Drinking and admiring the moon at the same time — this was the perfect hot spring.
However, after he selected the items, before he could take them out, Senos's body tilted and his head leaned on his shoulder.
Xu Fengqing froze and looked down. He saw that the man's face was red, and his eyes were closed. He seemed to have fainted.
He was stunned, then thought of something and quickly picked him up.
Xu Fengqing left the hot spring and entered the wooden hut. He put Senos on the bed in the hut and wiped him with a towel while calling him anxiously.
"Ah Sai, wake up."
At his call, Senos slowly woke up and looked at him with a pair of purple eyes in confusion.
Xu Fengqing sighed in relief.
"Ah Sai, how do you feel?" he asked.
"What happened to me?"
"You fainted. It's probably caused by the lack of oxygen in the hot spring for too long. You'll be fine after some rest."
Senos blinked and muttered, "So I really do faint …"
Xu Fengqing frowned. "What do you mean? If you know that you'll faint in the hot spring, why did you come? "
Looking at his stern expression, Senos pursed his lips.
He didn't expect him to find out. He had to look away and said, "I just … hope that you can forget my ugliest appearance."
