The New Situation Before the Banquet

The evening gradually came to an end. The glittering stars accompanied the moon, dazzling their own light in the sky.

It was like a soft gauze falling on the ground, brought upon the gender night.

The wooden stick was wrapped in linen strips and soaked with oil. The Swadian light footmen of the patrol team made some simple torches and held it in their hands. They were patrolling along the outer dune of the Oasis Lookout before nightfall.

On the streets within the city walls, the same torches were lit and inserted into the specially-made notches on both sides of the walls.

The torches were brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

The entire street was clearly visible.

This made it easier for the busy peasants and peasant women to get busy with their work.

Tables and chairs were moved out of the house.

At the same time, wooden bowls and plates, as well as knives, forks, and spoons, were prepared.
