Chapter 492: Scallop Man
As the night sky above the dome shifted with bright purple hues, Yvaren, veiled, lifted an oyster to her mouth, tilted her head back, and swallowed it promptly, casually remarking, “The ‘Empress’s New Clothes’ is ready.”
“Huh?” Anfel was taken aback, swallowing the peony shrimp in her mouth.
“The celebratory fireworks that happen every fifty years-it’s understandable you wouldn’t know if you haven’t handled it before,” Yvaren explained. “It’s a collaborative project between Belldate, Salome, and Mercury’s families. Together, we’re orchestrating a fireworks extravaganza for the Yisuo Royal Family. The preparations started three years ago, codenamed ‘Empress’s New Clothes.’ Before the official launch, we need to conduct position tests. The bright purple glows in the night sky indicate that all units are ready.”
“Every fifty years? How many times has Belldate done this?”
“If I recall correctly, Belldate has been the royal fireworks supplier since the second Empress of Yisuo,” Yvaren replied.
“That means it’s a tradition spanning seven hundred years!” Anfel thanked the chef and popped the peeled crab claw into her mouth. “But what kind of fireworks take three years to make and require cooperation from our three families?”
“I don’t know the specifics; I’m not the one doing the labor,” the blue-haired capitalist replied. “You only need to know two things: First, the fireworks require the user to be at least a Sanctuary Sorcerer. Second, these fireworks must be visible throughout the entire Gospel.”
Anfel blinked. “You mean the fireworks are already prepared all over the country and will be set off simultaneously?”
“No, there are only fifty sets of fireworks, and they will only be launched in Nabistin,” Yvaren clarified. “According to the product design, these fireworks incorporate spatial materials from the Distant Sky Domain, such as ‘The Unrememberable Wood,’ ‘Blowwater,’ and ‘Sound Palace Pearls.’ When the fifty sets resonate at close range, they can create an effect akin to a Spatial Miracle, spreading the fireworks across the entire Gospel sky, allowing everyone to celebrate the birth of the new Empress simultaneously.”
