Chapter 69: Celebration and Commendation Banquet
In the afternoon, Cecilia went to PokΓ©mon Land again, saying that she had made an appointment with the elves in the park in the morning to plant trees together, and she didn't let Lei Dong follow.
Originally, Lei Dong thought that he and Cecilia were finally left alone, and they could enhance their relationship, but who knew that now he was the only one left, so he had to close the door and practice.
Time flies quickly, and all of a sudden it is evening, and Cecilia has also returned from PokΓ©mon Land.
"Move, when are we leaving?"
After the girl came back, she took a shower and changed into a dress, which looked a little more graceful and luxurious than before, and Lei Dong was a little stunned.
"Oh, let's go now. β
After hearing the girl's question, Lei Dong put away his dull eyes and walked out of the shop with the girl as if nothing happened.
"How are we going?"
After walking out of the door of the small shop, the girl couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, hey, look at it. This is my new car. β
Lei Dong smiled at the girl and released his newly drawn golden Lamborghini Ravinton.
"Wow, what a beautiful car. But it seems to be a little short. β
As soon as the golden Lamborghini Raventon appeared, the girl was deeply attracted, but she had never seen a car with such a low body, so she still had some doubts.
"Oh, beautiful Miss Cecilia, please get in the car. β
Lei Dong walked to the car, and then the door opened up, and he made a gesture of invitation to invite the girl to sit in the car.
For Cecilia, the car is full of mystery, and she is attracted by the strange way the doors open, the low body, and the cool shape.
Curious, she accepted Lei Dong's invitation to sit in, and then saw Lei Dong bypass the front of the car and sit in the car through another door, and then the two doors closed automatically.
"Move, what kind of car is this?"
"Hehe, it's called a supercar. It's fast. β
"Is it faster than an RV and a Dodge Tomahawk?"
"Of course, how could you call a sports car? Sit down, we're off to go. β
After Lei Dong finished speaking, he began to accelerate.
"Yikes!"
Although the roar of the engine is still emasculated by the system, the feeling of pushing back when accelerating is still retained. At this time, the girl was startled by this push back and exclaimed.
In less than 10 minutes, Lei Dong and the two came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"It's really fast. β
The girl couldn't help but sigh at the speed of this supercar. In fact, if it weren't for the thunderstorms in the city and the need to take into account pedestrians and other vehicles, they would have been able to get there much faster.
"Wow, Lao Tie, it's really you. I knew that this kind of thing was only you in the entire Locke Empire. β
The door of the Lamborghini Ravington opened, and when Thunderbolt and Cecilia stepped out of the car, they saw Rex coming over.
"Huh, are you here so soon?"
"Yes, my father, mother, and sister are in the banquet hall. I wanted to see how you got here, so I'm just waiting here. Lao Tie, what kind of name is this car? It looks so cool. β
Lei Dong said that this thing was hopeless, and he was waiting here just to see how he came.
"Alright, I'll tell you later, let's go in first. β
A few minutes later, Lei Dong and Cecilia were led by Rex to the banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion. This banquet hall is still quite large, and Lei Dong probably counted that there were almost 100 tables set up here tonight, and the distance between each table was about two meters.
"Uh-huh, Boy Ray, are you coming, come here, your seats are here. β
The seat of Karl's deputy city lord's family was in the middle of the banquet hall, and he saw Lei Dong and them walking into the banquet hall from a distance, so he got up and walked over, and after getting closer, he directly beckoned Lei Dong to come over.
"Good evening, Uncle Carl. β
"Haha, Anne was just talking about why you didn't come yet. Tonight, you can sit next to her and watch her for me. β
"Hehe, little Anne is so well-behaved, why do you still need to look at it. β
A few people walked and talked, and soon came to the edge of their seats.
"Brother Lei Dong, good evening Sister Cecilia, you are here. β
"Oh, yes, here we are, good evening little Anne. β
As soon as Lei Dong arrived, Anne Xiao Lori, who was still talking to her little friend Catherine, left her little friend and walked quickly to Lei Dong with her little short legs. Lei Dong also squatted down and touched her hair, greeting her with a smile.
"Alright, Annie, sit down first. Your brother and sister Cecilia are right next to you tonight. β
"Really? Great, I'll go talk to Catherine first. β
Now the thunderous status in Anne's little Lori's heart is above her little friend.
Lei Dong and Cecilia chatted with Lori for about half an hour, and the banquet finally began.
"Hello everyone, I'm Nahula, the lord of Zhenshan City, and the theme of tonight's banquet is to commend the heroes of this beast tide. Before that, please try the food prepared by the Castle Lord's Mansion. β
After the Lord of Nahura walked to the middle of the banquet hall and gave a brief speech, the maid of the City Lord's Mansion began to place food boxes on each table. Lei Dong looked at the food boxes on the table in front of him and felt a little familiar, these food boxes were actually drawn from the food lottery machine in his small shop.
After Lei Dong saw it, he thought: "This advertisement should not be charged." β
Many people are already aware of the food at the shop, but there are still some that they have only heard of but have not eaten. However, Lei Dong felt that when they ate it, they would definitely become regular customers of the small shop, and he was still very confident in this.
But Lei Dong still felt that it was not good to use these food boxes as banquet food, after all, the contents of each food box were different. If the city lord of Nahura knew what he thought, he would definitely scold him for being cheap and behaving well.
After about half an hour, most of the people were full, and at this time, the city lord of Nahura also spoke again.
"I guess everyone is full. These delicacies are drawn from the lottery shop in the south city, and if you want to taste it again, you can go to the lottery shop. Okay, without further ado, let's start commending the heroes of this beast tide, and ask our Deputy City Lord Karl to read out the list of heroes and rewards. β
"Bang bang. β
Deputy Lord Karl walked over to Lord Nahura in applause.
"Hello everyone, I am Carl, the deputy city lord of Zhenshan City, and I will read out the list of heroes of this beast tide and the rewards they deserve. β
"Bang bang. β
There was another round of applause.
"Viscount Zeroth, kill 3 ninth-level demonic beasts, 16 eighth-level demonic beasts, and 286 demonic beasts below seventh-level. Reward promotion to the rank of Imperial Earl, 5,000 spirit crystals, and an Imperial Order of the Second Class. β
"Count Johnson, kill 6 ninth-level demonic beasts, 28 eighth-level demonic beasts, and 462 demonic beasts below seventh-level. Awarded 7,000 spirit crystals and two Imperial First Class Medals. β
β...β
"Baron Thunder, assist the Lord of Nahura in killing the legendary Sacred Beast Red Flame Dragon Serpent and successfully defend the southern defense line of the city. Reward promotion to the title of Viscount of the Empire, 5,000 spirit crystals and a first-class Imperial Medal. β
Deputy City Lord Carl read it for more than ten minutes before he finished reading it.
"Cecilia, why hasn't Earl Johnson been promoted?"
Lei Dong asked Cecilia beside him. He wanted to ask when he heard about Earl Johnson's reward, but at that time, everyone was quietly listening to Deputy Lord Carl's speech, so he waited until now to ask.
"Well, don't you know? If the Imperial Earl wants to be promoted to a Marquis, he will need three Imperial First Class Medals. And for your viscount to be promoted to earl, you also need an Imperial Order of the First Class and an Imperial Order of the Second Class. β
Although the girl didn't know why Lei Dong didn't even understand this, she patiently explained it to him.
"Oh, I see. In other words, if I get a second-class Imperial Medal, I can be promoted to an earl. β
Lei Dong only understood after listening to the girl's explanation.
"How can it be so simple, this beast tide only happens once in decades, and if you want to get the second-class medal of the empire, you have to make meritorious contributions elsewhere. And you're now the youngest viscount in the history of the Empire, and it's time to be satisfied. β
The girl rolled her eyes at Lei Dong, and seemed a little speechless about his greed.
"Hehe, isn't it a thought about it, it's a good thing to be motivated. β
Lei Dong also knew that he was thinking too much, after all, he knew before that he couldn't even be a viscount at his age, that is, this time his credit was a bit too big to make an exception. And this is the city lord of Nahura and the deputy city lord Karl in order to cover up his Barrett deliberately cut his credit, otherwise he may really be promoted to earl directly.
The banquet also ended after the heroes had received their rewards one by one.
