Even though it is already March and the harsh winter is over, the night temperatures are still cold.
Normally, on such a cold night, most people in Bangta City would choose to stay at home, either curling up in a warm bed or enjoying the warm air blown by the magic air conditioner.
If there is nothing special, no one will want to go out.
However, tonight, the people in Bangta City were uncharacteristically different. As soon as it got dark, everyone left their warm homes after dinner, facing the obviously cold breeze, and headed towards the municipal square in the center of Bangta City. Flooded over.
It had just turned completely dark, and the roads connecting the Municipal Square were already blocked by three layers of traffic.
Normally when the weather is not too cold, although many residents of Bangta City will come to the municipal square for a walk at dusk, there has never been a time when so many people came to the place like now. .
The reason why this happened is because a week ago, the "Banta Daily News" used a huge headline on the front page to indicate that one week later at night, the Bangta City Municipal Plaza will usher in a brand new The whole square has a completely new look.
The Lord of the City, Earl Satsuma, also expressed his views specifically through Bonta Daily, saying that this time the new municipal square will definitely open the eyes and amaze everyone.
As the lord of Bangta City, Earl Satsuma is very good at making such affirmative and slightly exaggerated statements, so after seeing this report in "Bangta Daily", he immediately whetted the appetite of everyone in Bangta City. stand up.
What will this new municipal square look like? So much so that the city lord even used the adjective "unbelievable".
After this report, starting from the next day, every day "Bangta Daily" will write a big number in the most prominent position on the front page.
The first day is six, the second day is five, the third day is four...
So everyone knew that "Bangta Daily" was counting down.
As the date approaches, people's expectations for the new municipal square are getting stronger and stronger.
Although this was not reported by Bonta Daily. Someone discovered that the city lord's palace suddenly blocked the municipal square and blocked it with curtains around the municipal square, making it impossible for people to see clearly what was going on inside.
Although it can be inferred from the clanking sounds that have been coming from inside that some kind of construction should be going on inside, the more this happens. The more it aroused everyone's curiosity.
On the day when the mystery was about to be revealed, everyone's curiosity reached its peak. Many people even waited outside the blocked municipal square without even eating dinner, just to be able to see this brand new thing for the first time. The appearance of the town square.
I don’t know if the City Lord’s Palace chose today on purpose, but it happened to be one of the only two moonless days in every month.
Although it was a sunny day and countless stars could be seen in the sky, once night fell, the surroundings of the Municipal Square would inevitably fall into darkness.
Fortunately, many smart residents had anticipated this situation and brought out the magic lamps at home.
When the sky turned dark, countless lights of different colors lit up around the municipal square.
If you look down in the sky. You will see the dark crowds crowding the streets near the Municipal Square, and countless light circles of different colors light up among the crowds, which look like they are intersecting with the starry sky above their heads.
People gathered together and chatted while waiting patiently. Finally, at eight o'clock in the evening as stated in the Bonta Daily, a muffled sound suddenly sounded from the closed municipal square. Then a firework roared into the sky, exploded in the sky, and lit up the entire night sky.
Just when everyone stopped chatting with each other because of this moment of confusion, and the whole place suddenly fell into silence, a rich male voice suddenly sounded.
"People of Bangta City, welcome to the brand new Bangta City City Square!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtains that had been tightly surrounding the entire Municipal Square suddenly slid down. Then he was pulled aside by an unknown force.
The Bangta City Municipal Plaza, which has not been exposed to people for nearly more than a month, finally showed its face.
The crowd instantly poured into the square with a roar, wanting to see what this brand new municipal square looked like for the first time.
However, relying only on the light of the magic lamp in their hands and the starlight above their heads, they could not even see anything more than ten meters away from them. How could they see the whole square clearly with so many people
Only those with good eyesight can use the faint light to discover that many tall pillars seem to have been erected around the Municipal Square.
Just when everyone was a little anxious. Suddenly there was another muffled sound in the center of the Municipal Square, and another firework rose into the sky.
After attracting everyone's attention, a bright light suddenly lit up in the center of the Municipal Square, illuminating a high platform built at an unknown time in the center.
On the high platform, Earl Satsuma was bathed in light. With a smile on his face, he looked at the dense crowds in all directions and raised his hands to signal.
After the crowd calmed down, Earl Satsuma said loudly: "People of Bonta City, I know you have been waiting for this night for a long time, so I will not waste your time. I just want to remind you that today What you see tonight will definitely become the most unforgettable sight in your life!”
It's okay that he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, the curiosity in the hearts of the people in the audience, which already had nowhere to vent, became even more unbearable.
Some people even ignored the disrespect to the Lord of the City and shouted loudly: "Lord of the City, what does it look like? You really want us to see!"
Upon hearing this shout, everyone in the audience immediately echoed in unison.
For a moment, waves of sound surged and spread far away from the Municipal Square.
At this time, it is impossible for the entire Bangta City to find peace.
Earl Satsuma raised his hand again, suppressed the crowd's noise, then turned his head and nodded behind him.
A girl with a slim figure and a round face, who looked quite beautiful and lovely under the light, walked up and handed a small box in her hand to Earl Satsuma.
Earl Satsuma took the box and seemed to consult the girl for her opinion. Then he turned around again, looked at the people in the audience, raised the box in his hand to indicate, and said loudly: "Now, the moment to witness the miracle. arrive!"
After finishing speaking, Earl Satsuma stretched out a finger and tapped the box several times.
In just an instant, dozens of extremely bright lights suddenly lit up in the sky around the municipal square, as if dozens of bright moons suddenly appeared above the head, instantly illuminating the entire municipal square as if it were daytime.
The sudden change in light and dark caused everyone to close their eyes involuntarily. However, when they opened their eyes again, they were shocked to find that there seemed to be no night within the municipal square, and everything was as bright as day. .
This brightness comes entirely from the super-large magic lamps hanging from the tops of dozens of iron pillars erected around the square.
Next to these trees and flowers, there are also small pillars with small magic lights hanging on them.
These magic lamps do not emit the same white light as the super-large magic lamps above their heads, but are colorful.
It seems a bit messy, but when the light reflects on the flowers, plants and trees, they complement each other and become more gorgeous.
This is not the end.
When everyone focused their attention on the center of the Municipal Square, they discovered that there was actually a pool dug out here, which just happened to guard the high platform in the center.
With the light above their heads, everyone could clearly see that there was a statue standing on the high platform. Under the high platform, there were a row of magic lamps that also emitted colorful light beside the pools on the left, right, front and back.
The light of the magic lamps of various colors just converged on the statue, making it difficult not to notice the statue.
However, when they saw the statue clearly, everyone was confused again.
Because this statue is not any human statue that people imagined, but a white horse with horns on its forehead and a pair of long wings on its back. It looks a bit strange.
"What is this?"
Just when everyone was confused, the pool surrounding the high platform suddenly spurted out countless thin water columns. After intersecting back and forth in the air, they suddenly gathered together and turned into the shape of a flower, which then slowly bloomed.
Under the reflection of the surrounding colorful magic lights, this flower composed entirely of water reflects brilliant and colorful light, looking extremely spectacular and beautiful.
The people in the square had never seen such a dreamlike performance before. They were deeply shocked by the sudden bright light in the square, and now they watched the water flow constantly changing various patterns. It was so crazy to watch.
In a room on the third floor of the City Lord's Mansion not far from the Municipal Square, Xu Yi retracted his gaze towards the bright Municipal Square in the distance, turned to look at Heinas beside him and sighed softly: "It seems that the City Lord is not interested in this. I'm still not very good at putting on a show. This would have been a good opportunity to close the distance between him and the people and make the people of Bangta City recognize him more, but he was unwilling to follow my suggestion to give a speech. . What a shame such a great opportunity was wasted.”
Heinas turned his head and looked at Xu Yi, and said with a smile: "Who do you think the Earl is? Does he need to show off to these ordinary civilians? These civilians cannot have any influence on him."
