For the intelligent creatures in the Yara world, the New Year is the most important festival in all countries and represents a new beginning. Over the past thousands of years, countless countries and races have been celebrating this festival in their own ways. Grand celebrations, lively banquets, noisy hunting, intoxicating songs, all races will let go of everything and enjoy a happy day on this day. Even in a country trapped in war, both sides of the war will put down their weapons and celebrate with all their hearts. As for the outcome of the war? Let’s leave it to the new year to decide.

The Capital of Knowledge is no exception. In the first New Year's Eve of the City of Knowledge hundreds of years ago, a group of lively young people sang and danced in the central square of the city to show their youthful vitality. Since then, holding performing arts events in the central square has become a tradition for residents of the City of Knowledge. At the beginning, the residents of New Year's Eve spontaneously gathered and performed spontaneously. Slowly, there have been sponsorships, the organization has become more and more rigorous, and the performances have become more and more formal. Years have passed, and I don’t know when, the New Year's Celebration Performance Fair in the City of Saint-Ticket is like the Art District of Saint-Ticket, with reputation spread throughout the Yara world. Visitors from all over the world come to visit, traveling thousands of miles just to watch it once.

Therefore, in the last few days of the year, countless tourists gathered in the Sanctuary. Nearly one million people would pour in the metropolis, which originally accommodated 800,000 permanent residents, making the city more crowded and lively. So every few days, the merchants in the city were like celebrating the festival—of course, in fact, it was indeed celebrating the festival—struggling and sinking in the busy pain and the joy of skyrocketing income.

However, when the time reaches the last day of the year, the knowledge capital of surging people will become abnormal and become extremely calm. If someone thinks that the noise of the New Year has passed, it is too naive. This is just the calm before the storm comes. Everyone is accumulating energy and waiting for the last and most passionate outbreak and the explosion at night. Everyone is planning the evening itinerary. At that time, in the city space of more than 300 square kilometers in five urban areas, there will be dozens of arranged gathering places for people to visit and enjoy. Each place will have long-term artistic performances and commercial activities. Different people will choose different places to gather according to their hobbies and celebrate the New Year in their favorite ways.

Of course, among these locations, the New Year's Performing Arts Festival in the central square of the commercial district is always the most lively and attractive. Artists in the Beicheng District, especially the younger generation of performing artists, are all proud of receiving invitations to the New Year's Performing Arts Festival. Taking on such a stage is a kind of affirmation for them, both in terms of fame and artistic level.

"Have you brought the ticket?" After closing the gate of the Western Pavilion, Catherine finally confirmed with Lina: "Don't forget, it's not that easy to come back and get it."

"Okay, my sister, you've asked for it for the fourth time." Lina said with a broken face: "Go away quickly, don't waste time anymore. I want to go to the surrounding shops first."

"I always feel like there is something I've forgotten." Catherine sorted out her body: "Tickets, keys, purses, weapons, medicines, tools, Anne, Vivian, well, it seems that she's all brought them all."

"May I ask, my dear sister." Vivian asked quietly behind her back: "Can you explain what Anne and Vivian mean?"

"Yes, yes." Anne's pale head poked out from Catherine's chest. If anyone who didn't know the truth would be scared to death when he saw it. After a while, the little banshee also got used to the daily pattern of girls' daily relationships. She was no longer as cautious as before, and became occasionally joked: "Dear Sister Catherine, what do Anne and Vivian mean?"

"Nothing, it means you're very obedient." Catherine smiled awkwardly, pressing Annie's head and stuffing her back into the crystal on her chest: "Don't always get out like this. If I'm not mentally prepared, I'll be shocked. Do you want to cause a sensation in the whole city?"

"You forgot to bring me with you." Panis poked his head out of the wall like a ghost: "It's so ruthless."

"I knew you would suddenly come out." Catherine gave Panis a blank look: "Who knows where you ran? Really, leave quickly. It won't be too crowded to enter earlier, otherwise you will be careful that you will become Panis cake."

"Beep! Beep!" A few long whistles, a neat footsteps sounded, and ten members of the city guard lined up and ran slowly from Fox Street.

"Little Victor, you are responsible for patrol again today." Catherine looked back and greeted the escort who was leading the running: "You have to patrol again on New Year's Eve, thank you very much."

"Haha, it's Miss Catherine." The guards stopped in front of the foreign house: "I can get an extra half a month's salary for one night, and I'll fight for Yuna's new clothes."

"Happy boy, come on." Catherine waved to the guards: "I'll leave first, see you next year."

"These guys are the hardest." Turning around, Catherine sighed: "New Year is their busiest time. There is really no way, the flow of people is too high."

"Actually, it's okay, it's just a little harder." Panis said: "At least you don't have to fight your life. Unlike us adventurers, you may lose your life if you are not careful."

"That's right, everyone has their own difficulties." Catherine Zhanyan smiled: "I don't want these things anymore, seize every happiness I have now. Let's go, the celebration is about to begin."

The sky was completely dark, and the public oil lamps on the street were lit under the labor of the city's night watchmen. The lights specially hung at the door of each house shone brightly on the entire city. There were more and more pedestrians on the street, gradually gathering into a stream of people, rushing to every corner of the city.

"Haha, I'm the highest and can see it the most clearly. Hey, left and left, thirty degrees." Vivian smiled excitedly. Because she was afraid that she would get lost, Panis directly resisted Vivian and let her sit on her shoulder. Vivian's shrinking limbs did not weigh much, and she could not feel any pressure when she carried her.

"What did you see?" Catherine followed behind, and saw Vivian so excited, she couldn't help but feel happy: "Don't move too much, sit firmly and fall down carefully."

"I saw an acquaintance." Vivian happily patted Panis' head: "Hurry, I can meet it in ten meters. Hello, it's us, are you here too?"

"I know who it is." Panis shook his head hard and drove away Vivian's slapping hands: "I smell the seafood, I'm hungry."

With the physical fitness of the profession, everyone quickly discovered the acquaintance that Vivian saw. Guli Elmer, the leader of the Blue Coral Adventure Group from Casa, the country of the sea, brought his members to greet him with a happy look. The most eye-catching one was the tall and mighty bearded, but his skin was so nervous that his infancy deep-sea octopus Bartolomeo. At this time, he was following the leader at a loss. The six wrists behind him subconsciously waved, causing constant trouble for his teammates around him.

"It is really something to celebrate to see you safe and sound." Catherine smiled and shook hands with Guli Elmer: "It's been smooth for you to leave the jungle."

"It went smoothly, and I didn't encounter any danger. Thank you." Guli Elmer nodded and looked at the crowds around him in embarrassment: "I didn't expect to meet you at the celebration, but there are too many people now. Let's find some time to chat after the New Year."

"Okay, we should be able to find it in our resident guild, which is No. 6 Fox Street. You are welcome to visit." Catherine also noticed that she was obstructing traffic and hurriedly left an address: "Goodbye, I wish you all a happy time."

The flow of people continues to surge forward. Since this is the road leading to the most prosperous central square commercial area, the road is full of regular shops, unlike other districts where there are many mobile vendors. If you look down from a high altitude, there is a flow of people in different directions on the left and right sides of the street, like two rushing rivers, with thin branches constantly being diverted into the shops on the side of the road, and branches constantly flowing out from the shops and entering the crowd. People are not only moving forward, but also walking along the way, no matter whether they know each other or not, they will smile and nod, celebrating each other with high highs, and ask a happy New Year, just like old friends for many years.

"There are more people this year." Lina shouted loudly, and the shouting became faintly blurred in the noisy voices around her: "According to this trend, within ten years, the Federation of Commerce may have to limit the number of people entering the city."

"The number of people should not be limited, but the diversion location will definitely be strengthened." Catherine also shouted and replied: "Vivian, have you seen any interesting shops around?"

"I saw a lot." Vivian simply used sound magic, making the sound sound like it sounded from everyone's side: "There are so many beautiful things, toys, trinkets, decorations, books, snacks, fruits, and so many of them want to go and see them."

"There are also books sellers?" Panis said in surprise: "There are people who love learning so that they will not forget to go to the bookstore to buy books in this environment."

"Who knows." Vivian made an action that was nothing to do with me: "You once said that if you meet more people, you will always bump into a few abnormal and weird people. Besides, there is one behind you who loves learning?"

"Wow, I'm going to see it." Lina said with her teeth on her face: "Don't stop me, I must go and see it."

"You're enough." Catherine clenched her fist and knocked Lina on the head: "Well, listen to the sound, it's empty inside."

"Hey, sister." Lina pushed Catherine's hand away angrily: "There are so many people now, don't force me to go crazy."

"Aren't you going crazy all the time?" Catherine spread her hands and said before Lina rushed over, "Okay, I remember this place. It's okay to come and go in with you when you go back tonight."
