Chapter 50: The Banquet Hall

  Kevin took the letter and only glanced at the signature on it, without even opening it, he casually threw it into his bag. On the other hand, after hearing about what had happened, he was sweating profusely and scolding that fat guy again and again in his heart. He thought to himself, "After this is all over, I'll definitely reward him heavily", and Kevin, the magician's assistant, was actually thinking of using this monster as his assistant...

  The two of them chatted idly for a few sentences and were just about to head into the banquet hall when they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Lord of the City.

  "Good evening, Kevin the magician!" Isaac's face wore a friendly smile as he greeted Kevin, but then looked slightly puzzled: "Why didn't Grian come?"

  "I'm really sorry, Lord City Master, but something has come up in the guild that requires Guildmaster Grian's attention, so I'm afraid he won't be able to make it to this banquet today."

  "What a shame." The lord's expression was painful, but in his heart he was secretly pleased. That old man didn't come, so he wouldn't have to awkwardly call him Uncle Greian. After returning from the Magic Guild, Isaac had regretted it countless times. He shouldn't have said that about his father meeting him before... this was simply asking for trouble...

  When Isaac's gaze fell on Lin, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. The Flame Robe was indeed too old. Isaac's furrowing of the brows wasn't because he thought Lin looked shabby, but rather that this young magician seemed to be somewhat disrespectful towards him. After all, this was the Lord of Galos' banquet, and no matter what, one should at least dress properly for it. Thinking about it, this young magician wore an old wizard robe to attend the banquet, which seemed a bit too casual...

  But Isaac was after all a person who had been in the position of city master for a long time, and although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he still put on a warm and gentle smile on his face.

  "And who is this..."

  "This is Frey, the guild's mage."

  The smile on the face of Lord Isaac, the lord of the castle, suddenly froze. Ferre, the magician from the Magic Guild, had become a legendary figure in Gallos since his battle with Grian and Old Merlin. Not even as the respected Lord Isaac, he hadn't expected Ferre to attend this banquet in person. He also hadn't expected that this legendary master of potions, who had single-handedly orchestrated the million-gold-coin auction, would be a young magician wearing an old-fashioned robe, looking no more than twenty years old.

  But Isaac was steady, though his heart was stormy and turbulent, his face remained calm and composed. He smiled slightly stiffly, then warmly extended his hand: "Welcome, welcome! I really didn't expect to be able to invite such a distinguished guest as Master Ferre, the magician."

  "You're too kind, Lord."

  Isaac, in his excitement, couldn't help but ignore the other guests in the garden and, while expressing his admiration for Lin Li, warmly invited them to enter the banquet hall first.

  The guests, who were a little far away, hadn't been able to hear Kevin's introduction clearly earlier. Although they found Isaac's enthusiasm to be more than usual at this time, they didn't take it to heart and just thought that the lord of the city was also like themselves, hoping to get in good with the Magic Guild, which is why he placed such importance on the two young magicians sent by the Magic Guild.

  The lord's manor had obviously put a lot of thought into this banquet.

  In the spacious banquet hall, illuminated by twelve crystal chandeliers as if it were daytime, a thick red carpet was laid on the floor, which appeared even more luxurious under the crystal light. As Lin walked into the hall, he felt that the surroundings were resplendent with gold and jade, filled with an atmosphere of luxury. From time to time, young and handsome waiters carried trays of wine through the hall, while beautiful maids flitted about between the seats like butterflies.

  Lin Li was a bit unaccustomed to attending such banquets. Moreover, he didn't have many acquaintances at the banquet, and his conversation with the city lord was somewhat stiff, mostly discussing trivial matters.

  For example, what was rushed at the last auction, didn't even have time to say hello to Ferre's magician, it's really a bit...

  For example, how can a young pharmacist like Ferre have such high attainments in medicine, making Lin Li feel overwhelmed and unable to tell him that his master is actually a rich man who spent countless gold coins and a wish scroll to become a five-element master, relying on money to open the way. If you have money, you can also...

  Moreover, there were frequent guests coming to greet him, either pulling the Lord of the City to discuss some confidential matters or wanting to get in touch with the Magic Association. This came and went, making Lin Li feel a bit bored. He simply found an excuse to bid farewell to Isaac and took a cup of red wine from the maid's tray, hiding himself in a quiet place.

  After withdrawing from the banquet and hiding in a quiet corner, he became interested in observing the guests.

  Most of the guests at the banquet were celebrities from Galos, in addition to the seventeen forces, there were also many wealthy businessmen and celebrities. At this time, men and women were dressed up, shining brightly, and in the banquet hall, they were like butterflies flitting about, greeting each other left and right. It looked quite lively and extraordinary.

  Among them, seventeen forces people have obviously become the protagonist of the banquet.

  For example, the former owner of the deep silver necklace, the head of the Luo Lin family, was also at this banquet. When Lin Li saw him, there were already five or six guests around him, who were now openly flattering him.

  And that Mr. Anthony Rollin, seemed to be enjoying the feeling as well, surrounded by several guests, talking loudly and gesturing grandly, with an expression full of satisfaction and pleasure. Lin Li Chu couldn't help but think that this was a completely different person from the timid and cautious head of the Rollin family who had asked for Grian's appraisal yesterday.

  His gaze shifted away from Mr. Anthony, and he saw a familiar face entering the banquet hall.

  That was the red-haired beauty I met at Ina's house!

  As soon as Lin Li saw that fiery long hair, his eyes widened instantly. He never thought he would see this woman at the city lord's manor banquet.

  Moreover, this red-haired beauty seems to have a close relationship with the lord of the city. As soon as she entered the hall, she affectionately took Isaac's arm, her expression hinting at a playful flirtation. Isaac also seemed to be quite fond of her, his expression unusually benevolent, just like when Grian first saw him.

  Lin Li was even more confused when he saw this scene.

  McGurn family can be said to be the lowest level of adventurers, dozens of gold coins reward is enough to make them risk their lives in the Sunset Mountains, and the red-haired beauty has a close relationship with the lord, probably also has some kinship, the identity of both sides is vastly different, how would she know McGurn family?

  Just as I was feeling a bit puzzled, I suddenly saw Isaac walking towards me with a red-haired beauty.

  For a moment, Lin Li was hesitant and, to be honest, he didn't really want to see this woman named Luo Lin.

  Unfortunately, no matter how much he didn't want to see her, the lord of the city brought her along anyway.

  As she got closer, Roline also saw Lin Li in the corner and suddenly remembered what had happened at Ina's house that day, and for a moment, her pretty face showed a few points of embarrassment.

  "Mr. Ferre is sitting alone here, isn't he blaming Isaac for being inhospitable?"
