Chapter 0069: The Mysterious Disappearance of the Saltpeter Mine

Sea Festival.

Li Si Te had almost forgotten about it.

In the Duchy of Sapphire, the two most important festivals were the New Year Festival and the Sea Festival.

The New Year Festival is a customary celebration of the entire continent, marking the end of one year and the beginning of another. Almost every country's nobles and commoners alike would celebrate the New Year.

The Sea Festival, however, is unique to the Duchy of Sapphire, celebrating the first sea voyage of the Sapphire Family—after the failure of the Dragon Slaying Battle, the Sapphire Family was forced to migrate to the archipelago to establish their own nation. To gloss over the background of failure, the day of sailing was proclaimed as a day of great embarkation in pursuit of dreams.

Commoners might prefer the New Year, a festival passed down through countless generations. But the Sea Festival was an annual celebration that the nobles of the island nations had to partake in.
