With the first cannon salute, the banquet officially began, and the whole city began to celebrate. Music is playing, drinks are pouring through the streets, streamers are flying, dancers are dancing, and people are congratulating the boys on their birthdays.

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

In the hall of the Mann Chamber of Commerce, Chu followed Mann into the hall, and the hall was filled with guests invited by Mann himself, most of whom were friends they had met along the way, including nobles, wealthy merchants, adventurers, or ordinary people. In short, they did get to know a lot of people and make a lot of companions along the way.

In ten years, everyone has changed too much, and Mann has gone from being an orphan on the streets to the richest businessman on the continent.

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

Mann raised his glass as well, smiling at the crowd and speaking softly.

"Thank you for coming, my friends, for your willingness to come here from afar for the sake of my birthday. ”

Mann paused, glancing around at the faces of the people around him.

"I've been through all sorts of things with you, and we've had many stories to remember and laugh about, and although I can't go into them all here, I can't go into them all here, but, believe me, I'll keep them in my heart. I'm so glad I met you in my life, you have changed me and made my life so wonderful. ”

Speaking of this, he took a special look at Chu Yan beside him, and when he saw that Chu didn't look at him, he lowered his eyes with a smile and regret, and then raised it again.

"I would like to take this cup to our friendship. ”

Mann said as he held up his glass, put it to his lips and drank it down, his face flushed, he was still a little unaccustomed to drinking.

"Hahaha. The guests laughed.

"To our friendship. As she spoke, they drank all the wine in their hands.

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

Hiscama had left his city in a rare way, and he couldn't leave it before, but now that his nephew was grown up, he was ready to make him the next lord, and at this age he should learn to be on his own.

This gave Hiscama a chance to finally see what the continent was like, he had left his homeland for the first time in his life and seen something he had never seen before, and now he had been traveling on the continent for a year and had visited many places.

When he met Mann, he personally presented him with a special wolf head badge that represented the friendship of the Hiscama family.

This made people on both sides have some envy, you must know what a rare honor it is to let the Grand Duke of the Wolf King personally send the badge of the Wolf King clan.

Lily, John, and Jill also came.

John was drinking everywhere, Lily checked Mann's magic course, and looked at her with satisfaction, Jill's words were still silent, and it silently looked at Mann's short knife, which was still hanging from his waist, with a smile full of memories on his face, this knife was given to Mann back then.

Lorna had only arrived in the middle of the banquet, and she seemed to be a bit of a dusty person, having heard that she had been challenging the famous swordsman for several years, almost never resting or stopping, and she had been constantly challenged, again and again, and failed again and again, until she was able to achieve victory.

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

At the banquet, she saw Chu from a distance, hesitated, and walked over in silence.

"Long time no see. Lorna smiled, slowing her tone as best she could.

"Well, long time no see. Chu replied that it had indeed been a long time, and it should have been many years.

The last time they met was at the Kingdom's Swordsman Conference, when Lorna challenged the Kingdom's Juggernaut and was bruised.

Lorna lowered her eyes, took something out of her arms, and handed it to Hatsu.

"This is a gift for Mann, you can give it to him for me, he seems to be busy right now. ”

As she spoke, she smiled and tilted her head at Mann, who was surrounded by a crowd of people, and it seemed that there was really no room for free talking.

"Good. Chu took the gift from Lorna's hand, and on the way, the fingers of the two accidentally touched, and Lorna's hand subconsciously shrank.

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

"Hmm. Chu replied lightly and nodded.

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

"This is for you, and if you're practicing dark arts, it should help you with something. ”

She had seen a few first-time moves, and her initial use of evil was indeed very similar to the dark magic on this continent, so Lorna had such a misunderstanding.

Dark magic is not a forbidden thing on the mainland, but it has a bad reputation, and more importantly, magic often turns against its master.

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

Handing the bracelet to Chu, Lorna didn't say anything more, turned around and prepared to leave.

"That. Moments before she left, Lorna stopped, but didn't look back.

"Thank you. ”

A thank you came from behind him, and he smiled slightly with his back to Chu Luona, didn't speak, and walked in the direction of Lily and Jill.

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

Staggering back to his room, Mann opened the window of his room, and the cool evening breeze blew in his face, sobering him up a bit.

At this time, fireworks happened to be set off outside, and the colorful flames lit up the night sky and also illuminated his face.

In the fireworks, the city that belongs to him is so prosperous.

At this moment, a black mist emerged from the side of Mann's face, taking up half of his face, and said in a deep voice.

"See, as long as you want, these are all yours, all belong to you, wealth, status, fame, power. ”

Mann's expression began to twist slightly, but suddenly, he shook his head violently.

"No, it's half of a person. ”

The black mist dissipated reluctantly, and Mann rested his hands on the window, gasping heavily.

"Bumper. There was a knock on the door, and Hatsu walked in through the door.

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

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

"Nope. Mann cupped his forehead, turned around, and smiled forcefully, "I just drank a little more." ”

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

"I have a gift for you. ”
