Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 259: For Lucas’s sake, I will... lead the charge!! Although there was still one day before the official start of the Obsidian Festival.

The entirety of Siesta was already brimming with a fiery atmosphere. The whole city at this moment was like a volcano, biding its time, waiting for the day of eruption tomorrow.

In the center of Siesta.

A series of huge venues had already been set up. Although there was no one on the main stages, and staff were still debugging equipment, the small side stages had already been hosting a rotating lineup of small-time musicians from all over the world for many days.

The effect of the small stages was significant.

In just a few days, many sufficiently talented but unknown independent musicians had already been scouted by talent agencies who were acting as audience members, digging for new talent. They were basically signed to contracts on the same day. Because of this, the Obsidian Music Festival had clearly become a large-scale concert plus job fair. After all, many of the big-name musicians in recent years had been discovered through the Obsidian Music Festival.

Besides this small stage, the sides of the wide streets were also filled with musicians performing on the street. Some were singing, some were playing instruments. It really felt like arriving in a city of music.

A large group of people walked out of the hotel, strolling down Siesta’s prosperous streets. The streets were packed, a dense crowd of people, and every single person’s face was overflowing with a smile, as if they had arrived in heaven on earth. Walking here, it felt as if your whole being was being healed.

Hm...

FrostNova was thoroughly enjoying this feeling.

The warm sunlight shone on her perennially cold skin. Although Lucas was helping her suppress her Oripathy, her skin temperature was still lower than a normal person’s. This sunlight, which would be scorching for a normal person, was perfect for FrostNova.

So many people smiling.

So many people not having to worry about Oripathy, not having to worry about hunger, and not needing to worry about being hunted by Ursus Pickets. They could walk on the streets without fear, without worrying that someone would suddenly jump out to rob them. This is great... so relaxing...

”What are you thinking about, Big Sis FrostNova?”

Jessica came up from the front to FrostNova’s side. Jessica was taking good care of this ’Big Sis FrostNova.’

FrostNova and Jessica basically represented the two extreme examples of the world of Terra.

One was born into the lowest class, her parents and family members passing away one by one, leaving FrostNova all alone. The other was born into one of the wealthiest families in the world, enjoying the sole doting love of her parents, living every day like a little princess, without a single worry.

Therefore, Jessica felt quite sorry for FrostNova.

”I was thinking, it’s so peaceful here, so relaxing...”

FrostNova raised her head, looking at the clear blue sky above, a rare smile on her face. Alina, next to her, also smiled. She looked over at Lucas, who was chatting with Nian, Dusk, and the others.

”In the past, when I was little, my family was still around. Every time we went out, it was the most dangerous thing for us, because no one could guarantee we wouldn’t run into the military police. If we did, we’d basically be captured and sent to the mines. But it’s different here. There are no robberies, and no need to worry about being arrested.”

Magallan came up behind FrostNova and said with a grin: ”Of course. After all, everyone who comes to Siesta is rich. Plus, Siesta’s public security is recognized as being excellent. You don’t need to worry about robberies at all.”

”Give me back my bag!!”

Suddenly, a woman’s scream came from behind them.

FrostNova & Alina: ”???”

Magallan covered her mouth.

Jessica, next to her, looked speechlessly at Magallan.

”Senior Magallan, next time... uh... maybe you should talk less.”

At first.

When Lucas said Magallan was a jinx, Jessica didn’t believe it. But... after experiencing more things together, Jessica gradually came to believe... this wasn’t just some random fabrication, it was a fact. Even Miss Nine-Colored Deer had said it herself: Magallan was plagued by bad luck, but within that bad luck, there was a bright radiance, meaning Magallan’s probability of encountering unlucky things was much higher than a normal person’s, but she could always turn the misfortune around.
