I am a mage, with an infinite mana bar!

"Lynn, I am honored to be a member of your 'Magic Network'. To show my sincerity, I will give you my most precious possession."

Charlotte was already dressed. The three of them left the dimly lit attic and sat together in the clean and bright garden. There were very few servants in the manor, but each of them had their own strengths, and the pastries they made were of the highest quality in terms of both appearance and taste.

Charlotte took out a white box and pushed it towards Lynn.

"This is the eye of Fenrir, the King of the Dire Wolves. I can lend it to you for a month. What you get from it depends entirely on your strength and luck."

She smiled at Lynn and said, "Please be sure to return it to me in a month."

Lynn was very surprised, but she simply nodded calmly.

He didn't open it immediately because he was worried that an item of this caliber might trigger Charlotte's bloodline power or activate the [Bloodline] Star.

"Then, I also have a third-circle [Dispel Magic] spellbook, a magical item that can summon a special beast based on the magical power you infuse it with, but it cannot exceed the range of your current strength."

"Of course, perhaps this isn't enough to match the value of your Magic Network..."

After all, the magic network brings more than just a simple increase in the amount of magic power; it directly raises the ceiling for the future of its members.

Lynn blinked. He knew Charlotte was decisive and efficient, but he didn't expect her to pull out so many things all at once.

Thinking this, he secretly glanced at Eli.

The city lord's daughter still owes him three things.

Eli was quite frank, "Aside from the relics of the Wolf King, if you want any other similar reward, I can pay you immediately."

She paused, smiled, and said, "But Lynn, do you really want to waste it like this?"

……

In the evening, as the banquet was about to begin, Eli took his leave first, and then Charlotte invited Lynn to ride in her family's carriage to their destination.

The two sat facing each other in the carriage.

Charlotte wore a moon-white long dress with a clean cut and simple style. Even when sitting, she had a straight back, a long and slender neck, and her golden hair was casually tied back, giving her a very imposing presence.

Despite the extremely spacious and elegant carriage, Lynn inexplicably felt somewhat crowded.

Charlotte had been quietly observing him.

Finally, she spoke, asking, "Mr. Lynn, you seem to know Eli quite well?"

"We only met by chance during a mission, and later I was asked to do something by her. We're not very familiar with each other," Lynn replied succinctly.

Charlotte smiled and asked, "But she seems to trust you a lot?"

Lynn shrugged. "I'm not too sure about that."

"But I know very well," Charlotte casually brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her blue eyes fixed on Lynn, "it's rare to see Elizabeth like this, so please take good care of her, Mr. Lynn."

As a member of the Magic Network, a future patron, and a precious healing mage, Lynn would naturally take good care of Eli. He nodded obediently, his gaze falling to the window.

Charlotte opened her mouth again, wanting to ask Lynn about the magic network.

With outsiders present, she couldn't say much and had to give up.

Feeling the surging waves of magical power within my body, and the strange connection I had established with the outside world.

She was also thrilled, and at the same time, she was even more surprised by Lynn's strength, and became increasingly curious about his background.

Such a valuable talent, if she hadn't been bedridden due to the influence of Fenrir's bloodline, would definitely have tried to get into the Green Tower.

Especially the magical spell he cast, which could heal her heartache in her dreams.

Unfortunately... she felt a deep sense of regret when she learned that Lynn had joined the Golden Tower.

Before long, the carriage turned into an extremely wide and clean street.

Lynn's eyes lit up.

The street didn't look much different from other places, except that it was almost completely filled with all kinds of horse-drawn carriages.

They lined up and waited to pass in front of the city lord's mansion, unload the formally dressed people from their carriages, and then exit from another direction to make room for those who came later.

The owners who got out of the car were all dressed in formal suits in black, white, and gray. Their hair was neatly combed, and the younger ones with thicker hair would even use olive oil imported from the south to create fashionable hairstyles.

The women were divided into two groups. One group dressed simply and elegantly, with long skirts reaching their feet, and their clothes were white or dark colors that matched their male companions. This group was mainly composed of married women.

The other group consists of dresses in various bright colors and styles, some fitted to the body to accentuate curves, others with shorter skirts that reveal straight and beautiful calves.

As the weather gets warmer, this kind of clothing is undoubtedly more comfortable.

The noble ladies of Asia have quite a free style of dress. I thought that at banquets they would all wear those princess dresses with hems so wide that two adults could fit inside...

It only took them about ten minutes to get here, but they queued for almost half an hour.

Upon reaching the entrance, Lynn alighted from the carriage first, declined the help of the Frey family's male servant, took Charlotte's arm, and led her through the crowd.

He glanced up at the facade of No. 10 Amber Street. It wasn't particularly eye-catching, except for a carved magical eagle with outstretched wings on the pillar next to the door.

This is the Frey family crest; it is because of its existence that 10 Amber Street has the risk of attracting a constant stream of people.

However, as far as Lynn knew, the nobles of Assassin obviously did not only own this one property. Like Charlotte's manor, they should also have such a place in the suburbs.

The fact that this banquet was held at the city lord's mansion in Luo'an City was clearly intended to distinguish it from a private gathering and to highlight its formality.

It was only when they arrived here that Lynn understood why the procession was moving so slowly.

Every guest must go through two checks before entering the gate.

An identity check is conducted, with designated personnel registering and comparing the information with the invitation list.

An inspection led by a team of spellcasters is primarily for detecting evil and potential mysterious threats.

Lynn and Charlotte went side by side and passed through the checkpoint without any problems.

As Lynn passed through the entrance hall and entered the lobby, the view before her suddenly opened up.

Compared to the understated and simple facade, the interior hall is exceptionally spacious. The bright light from the crystal chandelier made of magic minerals reflects off the mirror-like floor, making the entire space as bright as day.

This space serves as a ballroom, with a band playing a soothing opening tune in the left corner, while several doors on the right lead to the guest lounge.

In Assah, balls are an essential part of every banquet, especially in the warm spring season.

By this time, the crowd in the hall had gradually dispersed, and the servants of the Frey family, dressed in red and black, led them up the marble staircases in two directions to the second floor, where they arrived at the banquet hall.
