I could feel the difference as I stepped out of my abode. The relaxed atmosphere seemed to have vanished. Everybody looks serious.

Today is the day, the castle would open.

There is also a giant countdown projection in the sky. Showing seven hours, eight minutes, and fifty-seven seconds.

A few minutes later, I entered the market and saw it extra bustling today.

The population of the town had nearly doubled in the past five days. There are four thousand people in the town, bringing a lot of goods.

I have bought many, but I am buying more.

I started immediately; I visited store after store and also pillars. In which I had posted a list and many things I am offering in return.

I got many things I wanted.

I finished one and a half an hour later; both sellers and buyers are quick today. Nobody wants to waste time.

Once shopping was done, I walked into the store. I also placed a timer on the time, the store will close.

It is like why; it was crowded in less than ten minutes.

"Do you have that mead, that you were selling?" asked Lion Beastwoman.

"No. All sold," I replied.

"Not even one bottle?" she asked, to which I shook my head with regret.

Not even one bottle had remained in my storage. The only ones that remained were yet to mature.

I am not going to sell those.

It is not just liquor that had been sold out, but also most of the essence and other rare resources.

Now, the ones I am selling are from my own resources, that I need, but selling them, because I know I will grow them by the time I need them.

It is why, the store is only going to be open for two hours only today.

I wanted to keep it close since I sold more than I had thought. I had emptied nearly

The thing is unusual, but I felt like that might not be the reason. There is something, something, some of these people are clearly aware of, but I am not.

I tried to find the information but got nothing.

In the end, I just shook my head and focused on shopping. There are only a few hours and people have started to bring out the good stuff.

I brought them and then some, till half an hour remain for castle opening.

The horn rang out and the shops begin to close.

In less than five minutes, the whole market disappeared, with eyes turning toward the castle.

Some people flew clothes as they could.

I didn't and instead sat down on one of the stone benches and waited.

I need to rest and relax. If information is right about the castle, then it is the only time, I will

be able to do that.

Once I entered the castle. I could forget about having a moment of relaxation.

Minutes passed, till only a minute had remained and people started the countdown audibly.

I watched carefully, keeping my eyes on the countdown and the gate. The castle gate remained open for an hour, but if I spotted any problem, I would fly toward it will all my

speed.

Finally, the countdown hit zero.

At that exact moment, the beacon piercing the sky had turned off.

Ting!

A loud bell rang for a moment later, and I saw the massive gates of the castle begin to open.

Seeing that, I finally got out of my place and flew toward the boundary.

There, I waited in the sky with the rest.

Seconds passed, till the gate fully opened.

Though nobody moved, they all turned to the red line, which remained red. It stayed as such

for exactly thirty-six seconds, before finally turning green.

As it happened, people moved.
