Chapter 160: Wealth is always useful
If you want to use one word to describe the city of merchants, merchants who yearn for gold coins will say that this is the most beautiful city, travelers will say that this is the most prosperous city, bards will say that this is the city where legends are born, and idealists will say that this is a city with material desires.
But no matter what, the glory of this city cannot be concealed. From the moment it was established, it was destined to be loaded into the history of the mainland.
It is built in the center of the mainland and connects all trade routes on the mainland. Every merchant will pass by here when he is lucky, replenish supplies or sell goods here to buy goods. This is also because of this, there is everything people want here. You can buy all the goods you can think of and imagine.
It is extremely prosperous here, and it seems to be able to satisfy all people's desires and also have all people's desires.
During this period, the streets of the Merchant City were unprecedentedly lively because it was preparing to hold a grand ceremony, or a banquet, the coming-of-age ceremony of the richest teenager on the road.
Famous merchants, aristocratic adventurers, scholars and poets all came here one after another, and ordinary people could come naturally. The boy invited everyone on the mainland, and everyone could enjoy this most grand banquet in the history of the mainland.
Let me raise my glass for Mann again!
oh!
In a tavern, a man raised his glass and shouted at everyone, which attracted a lot of harmony.
People were drinking and their faces were red, holding their wine glasses high and cheering Mann's name.
One of them did not raise his glass, and the drinker beside him asked in confusion.s1;
Hey brother, why don’t you drink it? All the alcohol in Merchant City is free during this period. If you don’t drink more, you may not have a chance in the future.
As he said that, the drinker took another sip of the wine in the glass and sighed: Hey, I can't afford such good wine.
The person who didn't drink smiled bitterly and sighed.
I believe in Sunday, and I can’t drink alcohol on Sunday.
Well, the winery raised his brows and smiled helplessly and raised the wine glass in his hand.
Respect faith. As he said that, he drank the wine in his glass in one sip.
Respect faith. On Sundays, people who cannot drink can only chew a bite of the vegetables on their plate in a muffled manner.
In the corner, the bard sang stories and legends from the mainland. Which passage did he sing? If you listen carefully, you should know that the name of this passage is the Valkyrie of Heskama.
This legend has only been spread on the mainland in recent years. It is said that the first person to sing this song was a bard from Heskama. His song was beautiful, but his singing was very strong and powerful, with a desolate and magnificent epic feeling, which made this story deeply sing.
Gradually, the story of Valkyrie was sang on the mainland. I heard that she could protect people from being attacked by wild animals. Many adventurers also made her legendary appearance into amulets and carried them by her side.
Amid the laughter and joy of the tavern, three people were sitting in the corner, eating food quietly.
Well, it seems that the boy from ten years ago has grown up. A big bearded dwarf drank beer, put down his glass and said with a smile.
Human growth is inevitable. The lizard man beside the dwarf holds his eyes, as if he is holding his arms deeply.
I don’t know if Sister Lorna will come, we haven’t seen her for a long time. The last woman dressed in a mage smiled gently, holding a staff.
These three people are different from ordinary guests. They are guests with special invitations.
You know, the invitation to this banquet was sent by Mann himself, and it was not common even among well-known nobles.
There are only a few people who can be invited by Mann himself.
People celebrated in the tavern, drank sweet wines, ate hearty food, and prepared for the banquet that will come tomorrow.
To the east of the Merchant City, in the Chamber of Commerce's Chamber of Commerce's Chamber of Commerce, the highest floor of the building is Mann's office.
Mann stood by the window, looking out with his hands behind his back.
Chu thought for a moment, nodded, and said: That time was on the boat?
A gust of wind blew outside the window, blowing Mann's hair hanging in his ears. Mann narrowed his eyes and said as if he was recalling something.
He looked at the city outside the window with a faint smile on his lips.

This thing can really buy everything, right?
He has become the richest man in the world, but he still has one thing he wants to do, one thing he thinks must do.
Behind him, Chu stood quietly. She no longer dressed as a entourage of a merchant. She was less dusty and more demeanor and etiquette. There was still not much expression on her face, and she looked at the back of the boy in front of her silently.
He still remembers that the cargo ship that day was shaking, with the deep blue ocean that had no end, and the light white tail waves were dragging the stern. Chu stood beside him, and handed him a cake with an unobvious smile.
As a messenger, this is what I should do. Chu blinked his eyes lightly.
At first, do you still remember my birthday when I was twelve?
On that night, the grand banquet officially opened. The lights connected the streets and illuminated the entire city. It seemed that the city without night began to celebrate that person in the cheers of people.
As he said that, Mann held the gold coin in his hand.
Until then, I almost couldn't remember what my last birthday looked like. Then on that shabby cargo ship, you prepared a cake for me, and you and me celebrated a birthday.
Behind him, Chu did not answer his question, and Mann did not continue to ask, but just waited quietly for the beginning of his banquet.
But now, the entire continent will celebrate for me, and everyone will send me blessings.
Well, Mann curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
The chestnut hair was combed flat on his head, looking clean and tidy. He wore a pair of dark monocles on the bridge of his nose. His white skin and three-dimensional facial features made him look like a young and handsome nobleman.
Everything that has happened so far proves this.
