messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 161 For businessmen, honesty is very important
With the sound of the first salute, the banquet officially began, and the whole city began to celebrate.The music played, the wine overflowed on the street, the ribbons flew, the dancers danced, and people congratulated the boy's birthday with voices.

It is difficult to express in words how grand this banquet is, because it seems that the whole continent is immersed in it.The sound of singing and dancing, the sound of wine glasses colliding, people's laughter and cries, resounded under the sky and above the earth, as if at this moment, the only thing left in this world is the beauty of this banquet.

In the guild hall of the Mann Chamber of Commerce, Chu followed Mann into the hall. The hall was full of guests personally invited by Mann. Most of them were friends they met along the way. There were nobles, wealthy businessmen, and adventurers. or ordinary people.In short, they have indeed met many people and made many companions along the way.

In ten years, everyone has changed too much, and Mann has also changed from an orphan on the street to the richest businessman on the mainland.

When they saw Mann walking into the hall, everyone in the hall stopped talking, looked at Mann with a smile, and raised their wine glasses.

Mann also raised his wine glass, looked at everyone with a smile, and said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you for coming, my friends, thank you for being willing to stop what you are doing and come here from afar for my birthday."

Mann's tone paused, and he looked around at the faces of the people around him.

"I have experienced all kinds of things with you, and we have many stories that we can recall and laugh about. Although time is limited, I can't go into details here, but, please believe me, I will always keep these in my heart. I am very fortunate to have met you in my life, you have changed me and made my life wonderful."

Speaking of this, he took a special look at Chu Chu, seeing that Chu didn't look at him, he smiled and lowered his eyes regretfully, then raised them again.

"I would like to respect our friendship with this cup."

Mann raised the wine glass and said, put the wine glass to his mouth and drank it down, his face flushed, he was still a little unaccustomed to drinking.

"Hahaha." The guests off the court laughed out loud.

"To our friendship," said the people, draining the wine in their hands.

On this day, people only celebrate this one boy, and the whole continent celebrates only this one boy.

It is rare for Hiskama to leave his city. Originally, he could not leave, but now that his nephew has grown up, he is going to let him be the next lord. At this age, he should also learn to be independent.

This gave Hisskama the chance to finally see what the mainland looked like. For the first time in his life, he left his hometown and saw sights he had never seen before. Now he has been traveling on the mainland for a year, going to I have been to many places.

When he saw Mann, he personally gave him a gift, a special wolf head badge, which represented the friendship of the Hiskama family.

This made the people on both sides a little envious. You must know what a rare honor it is for the Grand Duke of the Wolf King to personally present the badge of the Wolf King Clan.

Lily, John, and Jill came too.

John was drinking everywhere, and Lily checked Mann's magic training course, she should be quite satisfied, Jill's words were still taciturn, and she silently looked at the dagger that was still hanging on Mann's waist, With a smile full of memories on his face, this knife was given to Mann that year.

Lorna came here in the middle of the banquet. She looked a little dusty. I heard that she had been challenging famous swordsmen in the past few years, and almost never stopped or stopped. She challenged endlessly, time and time again. , fail after fail until you can win.

No one knows what kind of inhuman cultivation she has experienced, only that her strength has grown at an extremely fast rate, and now she is already one of the strongest swordsmen on the mainland.

At the banquet, she saw Chu from a distance, hesitated for a moment, and walked over silently.

"Long time no see." Lorna smiled, trying to slow down her tone.

"Well, long time no see." Chu replied, it was indeed a long time, and it must have been many years.

The last time they met was at the Kingdom's Swordsman Conference, when Lorna challenged the Kingdom's Sword Master and was beaten all over.

Lorna lowered her eyes, took out something from her arms, and handed it to Chu.

"This is a gift for Mann, please give it to him for me, he looks very busy now."

As she spoke, she smiled and turned her head towards Mann who was not far away. Mann was surrounded by a group of people, and it seemed that there was really no room for a conversation.

"Okay." After taking the gift from Lorna's hand, the fingers of the two accidentally touched each other on the way, and Lorna's hand shrank subconsciously.

"Your hands are cold, pay attention to your body." Lorna shrugged casually and said with a smile.

"En." Chu responded lightly and nodded.

"That's right." Lorna remembered something, and took out a bracelet inlaid with black gemstones from her pocket. She silently handed the bracelet to Chu, and whispered.

"This is for you. If you practice black magic, it should be able to help you."

She has seen the appearance of the first shot a few times, and the first use of evil is indeed very similar to the black magic on this continent, so Lorna has such a misunderstanding.

Black magic is not something forbidden on the mainland, but its reputation is not good, and more importantly, magic often backfires on its master.

That's why Lorna found this bracelet, which can resist the erosion of black magic to a certain extent.

After handing the bracelet to Chu, Lorna didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

"That." Just before she left, Chu stopped calling, and Lorna stopped, but didn't look back.

"Thank you."

A thank you came from behind, and she smiled slightly with her back turned to Chu Luona, without saying a word, she walked towards Lily and Jill.

By the time Mann came out of the hall, he was already a little drunk, and he had been given a lot of alcohol, which made him, who was not very good at drinking, feel a little uncomfortable.

Staggering back to his room, Mann opened the window of the room, and the cool evening breeze blew in his face, making him more awake.

At this time, fireworks were set off outside, and the colorful flames lit up the night sky and his face.

In the fireworks, his city is so prosperous.

At this time, a black mist emerged from the side of Mann's face, occupying half of his face, and said in a low voice.

"See, as long as you think, these are all yours, all belong to you, wealth, status, fame, rights."

Mann's expression began to become a little distorted, but suddenly, he shook his head violently.

"No, it's agreed to be half of one person."

The black mist dissipated unwillingly, while Mann put his hands on the window, panting heavily.

"Bump." There was a knock on the door, and Chu walked in from outside.

"Mann." Chu stood behind Mann, looked at his tired look and asked, "What's wrong?"

She had actually noticed something, but she didn't say anything.

"No." Mann supported his forehead, turned around, and smiled forcefully: "I just drank more wine."

"Oh, that's right Chu." He said weakly, and walked in front of Chu.

"I have a present for you."
