A week after harvest day, the village was alive with the buzz of the harvest festival. The market was bustling with farmers and merchants selling everything from vegetables and fruits to cheese.
Competition was fierce, as the best-selling merchant would win 50 gold coins and free meals at the Ashbourne Restaurant, the village's public kitchen project.
The streets were adorned with autumn-themed decorations in green, orange, and brown, mirroring the changing colors of the trees.
Lucien watched the lively scene, leaning against a towering pile of pumpkins carved by children and teenagers for the pumpkin carving competition. The pile reached almost three meters high, a testament to their enthusiasm.
Despite the festivities, Lucien was preoccupied with the blue screen in front of him. It displayed information about the 'Harvest Day' quest, and although most of the requirements were complete, one crucial element was missing.
