Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wishes

"Alright, let's all give our birthday gifts to the protagonist of this birthday party!"

Bessie looked at the two siblings fighting, smiled and glanced at Anthony beside him, who was full of helplessness, and clapped his hands and proposed.

"Well, that's right, Xia Lin, this is the birthday present we both prepared for you!"

Anthony nodded, took out a wooden box wrapped in colored paper from the box next to him, and handed it to Xia Lin.

"What is this?"

Xia Lin curiously opened the colored paper package and opened the wooden box, and found that it was actually a half-length chain mail inside.

He's a mage, what do you want this kind of chain mail for? If the armor is on, the mage's casting ability will drop sharply.

"This is the work of my teacher, and although it seems a little inappropriate to give it to a mage, I don't know much about magic either, so I can only listen to Bessie's advice and give you this chain mail! I want this chainmail to protect you!"

Seeing Xia Lin's puzzled appearance, Anthony felt as if he had been a little messed up, and scratched his head a little embarrassed and explained.

"It's also mixed with some of my father's treasured Mithril to improve a lot of magical affinity, and I don't think you can wear this chainmail to prevent you from casting those magical spells...... Probably!"

Bessie added on the side, but finally hesitantly added an adjective, and now Xia Lin understood that they had created this chainmail with the goal of Mithril Chainmail.

Xia Lin put on the chain mail mixed with Mithril and tried to perform a shimmering spell, only to see the light of a candle flame, which made him understand why mages would not wear similar alloy chain mail as well.

However, Xia Lin still felt the heart of the soon-to-be-married couple, so he still smiled and thanked:

"Thank you for your chainmail, I think it will come in handy later!"

After putting away the Mithril chain mail presented by Anthony and Bessie, and then Hurry's gift, Xia Lin immediately had a bad premonition when she reluctantly brought a wooden box used to hold cakes in a cake shop.

"Why don't you just give me a cake?"

Looking at this familiar wooden box, Xia Lin couldn't help but ask, and got a roll of his sister's eyes:

"Of course not, just open it and see!"

Seeing Hurley's appearance, Xia Lin opened the wooden box with some curiosity and found that it was actually the same thing used for wearing, but this time it was a light gray silk mage robe.

However, this mage robe is not an ordinary color, it uses Mithril silk thread as a rune base to enchant the two spells of cleansing and mage armor, and the material seems to have been specially treated, which looks very shiny.

Such a mage robe is worth a lot of money, at least more than 100 gold, Xia Lin looked at Hurley with some surprise, but she twisted her head:

"Don't look at me, this is the mage robe that my dad bought with the money he earned with our Carl Cake Shop, and my mother and I saw that you were wearing that black silk robe all day long, and you basically didn't wash it much, so we contacted the people from the Greg Chamber of Commerce, and they recommended this robe for us!

I've heard that this robe can be kept clean without washing, and it can also protect the person who wears it, and we don't know anything about magic, so you can only see for yourself!"

Following Hurley's gaze to his father and mother, who were looking at him expectantly, Xia Lin felt a warm current in his heart, and immediately took off the mage robe on his body, which according to Hurley's words, had not been changed for a long time, and put on this new robe:

"It fits perfectly, it's also enchanted with cleansing and mage armor, I don't think the people from the Greg Chamber of Commerce lied to you."

"It does look good, just like the archmages in the story!"

Old John and Lannie looked at Xia Lin's outfit and nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good robes indeed, Xia Lin, I wish you a happy birthday!

I and the rest of the lab have a gift for you, too, but that won't be revealed until you and I go back to the lab later."

Harper looked at Xia Lin and put on his new clothes

The appearance behind the mage's robe was admiring, and at the same time made a mysterious look.

"Laboratory? Is it true that your research has progressed?"

Regarding Harper's statement, Xia Lin thought for a moment and then asked with some surprise.

"Let's eat first! Don't waste the feast your family has worked so hard to prepare for you!"

Harper smiled, but he sold Xia Lin a pass.

Seeing him like this, Xia Lin had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and took a seat and began to be today's birthday star.

"Happy Birthday to You~Happy Birthday to You~Happy Birthday to You~~"

Like Xia Lin's birthday party in his previous life, the birthday party that Xia Lin moved to this world also had a part of singing birthday songs and making wishes and blowing out candles.

The lyrics and melody of the Happy Birthday song are extremely simple, and the original meaning of the corresponding words in Sassen is so perfect that even people who have never heard it can learn it at first time, so it quickly spread from Carl's Cake Shop.

It was the first time that Xia Lin heard this familiar song sung to himself in this world, and he couldn't help but have some unique feelings in his heart, recalling the scene when his family members in his previous life celebrated his birthday in his memory.

Looking at the family members around him clapping their hands and singing birthday songs for themselves, with smiles on their faces, Xia Lin silently made up his mind that he must grasp the moment and at the same time use his best to accomplish what he wants to do.

With this in mind, Xia Lin blew out the specially made thin candles on the birthday cake and made a wish with his hands together.

After Xia Lin finished blowing out the candle and making a wish, Hurley couldn't wait to ask:

"Xia Lin, what did you wish?"

"My wish? That is, our family can be together here in the future like today, have a hearty dinner together, and live a good life together.

In addition to this, I also want more people to be able to have a hearty dinner together and live a good life together like our family!"

Xia Lin said his vision, causing everyone to be a little silent.

"I think your wish will come true in the future, and the New Year's celebration is still twenty days away, so let's go to Hurgana together! The body is the capital of research, Xia Lin, you taught me this sentence!"

After a moment of silence, Harper was the first to speak. As one of the people who had the most contact with Xia Lin, Harper always felt as if there was a beast behind Xia Lin driving him to run forward, and now he knew why.

If you want to realize such a great wish, you can't do it without working hard all the time.

However, as Xia Lin's career gradually grew, noble people like the counts and even princesses of the empire began to appear around him.

As an ordinary one-ring mage, Harper is no longer able to keep up with Xia Lin's footsteps, and even the help he can provide is limited, but as a friend, Harper still has to remind Xia Lin not to push himself too hard.

"Celebration? Then we're going to go together!"

Hurley's emotions were the first to stir up, and the New Year's celebrations of the Sassen Empire usually took place in late February and early March, with performances by bards, circuses, jugglers, and all kinds of snacks from all over the world.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with people in the slums who think about where tomorrow's food will be every day, so this year is the first time that the Carl family has the money to go to the festival.

"If there are no important events for me to attend, I'll go!"

Hearing the concern in Harper's words, Xia Lin nodded and smiled at him, feeling a little glad that he had such a friend in his life, and then got up and divided the cake with a wooden cake knife.

However, if Xia Lin knew Harper's impression of him, he would definitely feel a little helpless.

It's not that Xia Lin wants to be so constantly busy, but since he was driven by his inner curiosity to embark on the path of magic research and take out those valuable technologies, Xia Lin realized that he would inevitably encounter many people who coveted these skills in the future, so as not to be burdened by those enemies

Devoured alive, Xia Lin chose to increase his strength all the time.

After this factor, being able to use the knowledge that he had worked so hard to learn in his previous life but was useless to change the world was also a process of self-realization for Xia Lin, who was born as a science student.

The opportunity to change the world was in front of Xia Lin, and he still had an ideal in his heart, and he couldn't be as indifferent to it as those numb people.

"The big guys in the Business Alliance?"

As the director of the White Sugar and Refined Salt Factory, Old John naturally knew that his second son had made a business alliance, and let the princess and many big nobles visit the industrial park once, at that time he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, so thinking about it, his second son probably didn't have time.

However, he didn't tell Hurley, who was full of excitement at the moment, but chose to take this matter to heart and enjoy this hard-won good time with his family.
