The thick mist casts a veil of mystery over Mochizuki Peak, and on the mountainside, a towering city-state has been established at some point.

Look, the mist-shrouded city-state is like a dream. The minarets soar into the sky, the majestic castle is impressive, the bluestone streets are flat and wide, the shops are bustling with the sound of hawking, and the laughter of children can be heard from the houses. No one worries about the danger of the Misty Forest, and the 20-meter-high walls of rock and concrete block everything.

It is called the City of Dawn, which represents hope and the dark years will eventually pass.

That's the name of the city, and it's the voice of the indigenous people who built their new homes with a vision for the future. They come from all over the world, humans, orcs, ogres, half-orcs, forest trolls, and even werewolves known as the embodiment of evil, as well as the goblins, an underground race.

However, the city of Dawn is not as chaotic as it seems.

The various races live in their own areas and are at peace with each other, no, they do interact with each other occasionally.

And all of this is thanks to the lords of the City of Dawn.

Of course, this lord was not granted by some empire, and the Misty Forest did not belong to any country, it was just an honorific title bestowed by the natives.

With respect, the people called him Lord of the Dawn.

"Look, that's Master Kyle's supply team. "On the city walls, the soldiers could see through the thick fog the dark shadow of the convoy and the flag embroidered with dandelions. "Open the gates!" the people cheered.

The convoy loaded with supplies slowly drove into the city of dawn, and the children blocked the way and "extorted" candy from the driver.

It's the rule, the kids set it, Edith and Jon to be exact, they've been here for the summer. And a "terrifying" corps was formed.

They haunt the streets like ghosts, they call themselves candy harvesters, and whoever comes across them has to pay enough candy unless someone is willing to endure the endless noise and sudden mischief. In short, the Candy Reaper is every grown-up's nightmare.

"Don't mess around. Beware of this mage taking you for experiments!" The fog darkened Kyle's blonde hair and blurred his handsome cheeks, but it couldn't hide the magnetic voice, but his words didn't seem to have any deterrent effect.

"It's Kyle, Rush!" At the behest of Legion Commander Edith, Vanguard Officer Jon led the children in a crowd.

Kyle finally compromises and gives the candy that he has prepared to the children, yes. He had long expected the outcome. He knew that no one could stand up to the Candy Reapers, except Edith's father.

"I'll tell Albert about you!" Kyle pretended to yell at Edith, "I hope you've got enough candy," and as the convoy passed by Edith, he added, "I promise, Albert will never let you have dinner, and you." He pointed to Jon.

"Well, whatever you want. Stingy Uncle Kyle. Edith shrugged, she didn't care about threats. She knew that Fang Wen would secretly bring her food.

"Definitely!" Kyle shouted angrily as he slipped back into the carriage.

When the convoy arrives at the lord's warehouse, Kyle orders the men to unload the goods and have his cronies pack the prepared magic potions. He then led Yarman to the Lord's Castle to attend the banquet Albert had prepared for him.

※※※

Night falls. The city of Dawn in the fog is brightly lit.

Sumptuous delicacies are placed on the long tables in the banquet hall, and the aroma of brandy wafts through the air.

Albert sat in the first seat, and took a rare change from his ugly leather armor and magic robes to a neat and proper evening dress.

Joanna sat in the first position on Albert's left, followed by Kyle, Yarman, Barrit, the current head of the Dawning Mercenary Regiment, and Boris, Charlotte, and Leona.

Legion Anngel sat in the first position at the head of Albert's right. They are followed by Treasurer Fang Wen, Lord Chancellor Barwin, Sheriff Duncan, Warden Dodom, Goblin Chief and Deputy Legion Leader Bard, Sunset Werewolf Chief and Deputy Legion Leader Binlo, and Ember Werewolf Chief and Head of the Mana Potion Production Factory, Lane.

"It's been three months, thank you. Albert raised his glass.

Everyone fell silent, and Albert smiled at everyone, who were his friends and who helped him build a city.

"Time flies, a year ago, I was a wanted criminal. He sighed, "I became a magician, but I was very confused and helpless. Of course, luckily for me, I met you, and you helped me fulfill my childish dreams. ”

With a light cough, he calmed down his excitement.

"You are my solid backing, you accompany my growth, you are so tolerant, you are so great, you pay silently and never complain. It's so great. Black Tiger's Lair, Fort Bolton, Tiger Head Peak, Tempest Gladiatorial Arena, Pige Mountain, Sunset Fortress, looking back now, it seems like it all happened yesterday. A lot of people are gone," he smiled, "and now too, you helped me sustain this city-state, thank you." With that, he bowed deeply to the crowd.

"Albert, you're really insane. ”

The crowd laughed, and Barrett stepped forward and punched Albert with one arm.

"Helios on top, Joanna, your boyfriend is a. "Charlotte's poisonous tongue hasn't changed much.

"That's right, it's drinking time!" Albert grinned, gulping down the brandy in his glass. "Oh, damn it," he scolded, "which bastard mixed vodka in the wine......" Before he could finish speaking, Albert lay down on the table.

"I said Albert couldn't drink a drop of vodka. Boris said proudly, "I remember that time in Fort Bolton, it was the hotel where I helped Albert back." ”

"Your boyfriend is a real bastard. Charlotte still did not forget her poisonous tongue and came to Joanna's side, "Go, beautiful girl, let me tell you an interesting story about Albert." As she spoke, she put her arms around Joanna's shoulders, "And you!" she pointed to Fang Wen again, "Don't you want to know?"

"I know more than you. Fang Wen pursed her lips, but followed anyway.

"Then you two will talk about it together. Joanna smiled slyly, her cheeks were slightly red under the influence of alcohol, which was particularly moving. Of course, no one dared to look at Joanna except for women, and everyone knew that Albert had a small heart in addition to the amount of alcohol.

Albert slept soundly, and in his dreams he saw his parents, who were making beautiful new clothes for him, and he was a babbling child.
