Chapter 88 A Precious Gift

The nobles all praised the delicious food served at the wedding banquet.

It was clear that they were quite satisfied with the banquet.

Baron Jass, however, was not happy.

Because his daughter Windsor really did stand at the table to serve the nobles, just like the other servants.

Viscount Quinn praised, "Baron Jass, Miss Windsor is truly skillful, far more diligent than my flower-loving daughter."

Baron Jass's face was grim, and he remained silent.

After the main banquet ended, it was finally the girls' band's turn to take the stage.

According to the banquet's schedule, after everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, entertainment activities are needed to liven things up.

The girls' band has rehearsed their performance many times.

The moment the band appeared, many nobles recognized them.

"It turns out to be the Fruit Band. I heard they're very popular in the capital."

"That's right, I've heard them play, especially their two recent songs, they're really good."

"Loren must have put in a lot of effort to get them here."

"They used to wear masks when they performed, why aren't they wearing them today?"

"Come to think of it, they look kind of familiar..."

The nobles from the Duchy of Starshine looked grim.

Especially those parents who didn't know their daughters had formed a band.

No wonder I haven't seen my daughter since the banquet started; they've actually formed a band and plan to play at the wedding!
Many people believe that band performances are for the purpose of pleasing others.

What noble lady would do such a thing?
Now that things have come to this, they can't possibly step in to stop it; they can only watch with grim faces.

A powerful melody began.

Fran's singing voice drifted in and echoed throughout the hall.

Loren created a microphone for Fran using the Zero Ring Amplification Technique.

Everyone in the hall could hear its voice.

As soon as the song started, everyone was involuntarily immersed in it.

The elf's voice was wonderful; it could instantly calm a restless heart.

"It really is this song! 'Obsessed'!"

To be precise, it was "Mambo's obsession".

His unparalleled high notes instantly ignited the entire venue.

This is not over yet.

Sometime later, the light in the hall became dim.

As the song played, an illusion of a girl dancing appeared.

Loren spent a considerable amount of time constructing this illusion.

A beautiful voice, an exciting melody, and a dancing illusion.

This was a perfect performance experience!

Even the five girls performing didn't expect Loren to have other preparations!
These illusions, weren't they also a pleasant surprise for them?

After the stunning song and dance performance ended, everyone wore expressions of lingering enjoyment.

Ametelle loved this song. She looked at the Elf Queen and asked, "Let the gods pave a heroic path for me... Did Loren write these lyrics?"

Serusia shook her head. "How would I know?"

"Aren't you his mistress? He didn't even tell you that?"

Celucia stared coldly at Amitil. "Enough with the jokes."

Amitil smiled slightly, "Someone's starting to get anxious."

Celucia couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to her.

The band's performance wasn't over yet.

Following "Possessed", Fran sang another song, "Star".

The high notes that pierce the soul give people an experience they've never had before.

The girl band had performed these two songs in the capital, but none of them had the same soul-stirring feeling.

Who exactly is the singer?

The nobles present shared the same doubts.

Then, the answer was revealed.

When the song reached its climax, Fran finally appeared.

Everyone's eyes widened.

No wonder the singing was like heavenly music.

It turns out that the one singing wasn't human at all, but an elf!
"Great Elf!"

The whole place was in an uproar.

"There's a giant Pokémon in Sandstone Town!"

"Did you borrow this from Earl Lorton?"

"How is that possible? Look at Earl Lorton's expression, he looks shocked too!"

"This powerful Pokémon couldn't have been bred by Sandstone Town itself, could it?"

"Why is it impossible? If it weren't for the Great Elves, how could Sandstone Town have developed so well?"

Yup!

The banquet held in Shashi Town brought endless surprises.

How could an ordinary territory possibly achieve this level of capability?

But if there's a powerful spirit, then it's not surprising.

"To actually make such a precious creature as the Great Elf sing, truly..."

Some people think this is utterly absurd.

The status of the great elf is especially noble.

Most of the nobles present, barons and viscounts, were of a lower status than the archetypes.

The Great Elf sings.

It's like an earl is putting on a show for them!

What kind of system?

But there's no doubt that Fran and the girls delivered a perfect performance.

The girls' parents suddenly felt relieved.

Even the great elves participated in the performance, so what does it matter if their daughters go on stage to play music?

Such an opportunity is extremely rare; they should feel honored.

The performance ended, but the banquet continued.

Next came the time for the nobles to network and cultivate relationships.

It was also a time for guests to present their gifts. After attending the banquet, many nobles suddenly felt that their gifts were somewhat inadequate.

But there was nothing they could do about it; these were all they had prepared.

The Lorton family came to Loren and Shirley.

Lolina exclaimed, "You're something else! We underestimated you! You got a great elf and didn't even tell your family!"

Loren said with a smile, "Fran has only recently evolved, and since the wedding is coming up soon, I didn't prepare a special banquet for her. Now you all know that, don't you?"

Lorton nodded in approval, "The wedding banquet was very well prepared. Next time there's something as important as the evolution of a great elf, you must let your family know in advance."

"of course."

Shashi Town has grown strong.

If any powerful spirits evolve in the future, it's okay to tell Loton.

He couldn't just openly rob him like before.

Especially now that Loren has the Elf Queen backing him up.

If Lorton really dares to demand Fran, then let the Elf Queen step in!

Thinking about all the recent events, it's clear that the Elf Queen's help was indispensable.

Loren suddenly felt like he was being kept by the Queen.

Not bad.

After chatting, Loren took Shirley to visit Baron Nathan's family.

Baron Nathan showed particular respect.

Lady Serene and Baron Riel praised Loren.

Alan's expression was rather unpleasant.

She never expected that Shashi Town could develop so well.

Xuefu smiled and said, "Sister, you said the roads in Sandstone Town were too bad when you came last time. How do you feel now?"

Alan's lips twitched; she really didn't want to talk to Xuefu.

But with her parents both present, all she could answer was, "It's alright."

"I'm glad you like it, sister. This road was built especially for you. I plan to name it Ailan Road."

Alan's face turned ashen.

Ailan Road?
Does this mean you intend to keep her under your thumb forever?

Her sister is still just as annoying as ever!
Afterwards, nobles kept approaching Loren and Xuefu to chat, offering their blessings and gifts.

They hadn't thought much about it before they came, and the gifts they offered weren't particularly valuable.

Some people even sent several boxes of gold coins directly.

Loren instructed Liz to write down these gifts and take them to the warehouse.

The gifts from the nobles were of little importance.

Hella is different.

The gift she brought was a ring.

It is inlaid with a deep blue sapphire with spatial properties.

"I heard you say you were lacking storage items, so this is a storage ring that I had someone make out of a deep sapphire."

Loren had no idea that Hela's gift was so precious.

"Thank you, Miss Hela."

Hela snorted coldly, "Just stop trying to trick me in the future."

It wouldn't be accurate to say that she was wronged.

Hela knew very well that the information about the dragon egg last time was provided to her by Loren.

She was able to return to the Ocean City to buy the dragon egg thanks to Loren's information.

Although she ended up earning less than she had imagined, she probably wouldn't have earned a single penny without Loren.

Moreover, Loren's reminder had saved her once before.

This storage ring is precious, but it's nothing compared to her life.

The gift Celucia sent was a jade box.

An amazing magical aura emanated from the box.

"Last year, a dragon spirit died in the Elf Kingdom. This is the crystal that it transformed into after its death. If anyone tries to cause you trouble because of the Ice and Snow Maze, give this to them."

Serusia is obviously referring to Amitil.

The Dragon Soul Ice Crystal in the Ice and Snow Maze has been destroyed, leaving it without a core to provide magic power.

Now that Amitir has failed in her campaign against the Frost Lord, she might use this as a reason to force Loren to join the Ice Empire.

Serusia must prepare in advance.

Losing a Dragon Spirit Crystal is insignificant.

But she absolutely cannot let Amitil abduct Loren.

The gift Cold Frost gave to Loren was a flute shaped like a conch shell.

"This is the Dragon Summoning Flute. When you blow it, you can summon an Ice Dragon Soul."

Although the Dragon Soul's strength is not comparable to that of a real dragon, it is not far off.

The only thing to note is that the Dragon Summoning Flute consumes a lot of magic power.

You have plenty of magic power; you don't need to worry about it.

Loren was flattered.

Unexpectedly, Leng Shuang came to the wedding banquet and brought him such a precious gift.

The Dragon Summoning Flute, capable of summoning the Frost Dragon Soul, sounds incredibly powerful.

Dragons can be considered the strongest beings below the King level.

Unless they are powerful beings like the Elf Queen or the Ice Queen, no one else can be a match for the dragon.

The Dragon Soul's strength is almost on par with that of a giant dragon.

In other words, as long as you don't encounter an exceptionally powerful opponent, you can save your life by using the Dragon Summoning Flute.

With a large amount of magic power within Loren that had nowhere to go, the Dragon Summoning Flute was definitely the most suitable artifact for him!

"So you have to give a gift when you attend a wedding banquet?" Amy murmured softly.

She approached Loren and Xuefu, and pondered for a long time.

"Your name is Loren, right? Tell me, what gift do you want?"

"You can give me whatever you think is appropriate."

Surely the gift a mighty Ice and Snow Empress would give couldn't be worse than the Dragon Summoning Flute?

Amytil thought for a moment, "How about I give you the Ice and Snow Empire?"

Loren looked surprised. "The Ice and Snow Empire? So you're from the Ice and Snow Empire?"

Amitir chuckled lightly, "Still playing dumb with me? If you didn't know my identity, how could you possibly have arranged for me to be with the Elf Queen?"
