The banquet is about to enter its later stage, and after Ms. Karen has thanked her for the gift, everyone will start to socialize freely.

George and Duke Ebron also returned to the banquet, and Adams also appeared at the center of the banquet.

Hevin found that Adams was standing next to Enid at this time, while Ms. Cullen, who was responsible for thanking the gift, kept a full ten meters away from her daughter, and George followed closely beside her.

Karen stood up and said:

"Thank you for your gifts."

It is an ancient tradition in England to thank the gift in person at the birthday party. Generally speaking, the host of the birthday party also has to comment on the gift. In many cases, this can test the young people's ability to express their emotions in the face of different gifts.

Different reactions should not only make those who give less generous gifts feel embarrassed or offended, but also make those who are more distinguished feel their "importance" and show the owner's strong gratitude that is different from others.

But nowadays, the thank-you gifts from nobles are usually agreed in advance.

But for some reason, Ms. Karen announced that she would restore the ancient tradition. Anyone who wanted to could give her a gift. She would open it on the spot at the banquet, and she could give the gift without leaving her name.

But Hevin discovered early on that many people actually appeared near the place where the gifts were placed, and they kept recording the appearance and identity of the people.

After all, except for Hevin, all the guests were prominent figures in Wharton, and those distinguished guests who were allowed to enter with their companions had their companions' appearance recorded at the door.

Hewen narrowed his eyes.

This is a trap.

And even if the prey knows it is a trap, it will jump in.

If you exclude yourself, then George is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people in Wharton City, and other demigods who are stronger than him are at least superficially loyal to the Inlans government. Even if there is a problem, they will never hook up with Volti

Geng.

This is a trap aimed at the remnants of the humble king.

And the bait is Enid.

But it was Ms. Cullen and George Pendragon who stood at risk.

Hewen's heartbeat began to speed up slightly.

A trace of surprise flashed in George's eyes that no one noticed.

He felt Hevin's presence.

Karen said:

"Today I will follow the ancient tradition of Inlans."

Everyone already knew what Ms. Karen meant, but they didn't know the original intention of her behavior.

Because no one could imagine that they would do such crazy things.

There were five gifts in total, only one of which was unsigned.

Karen and George also tacitly agreed to leave this gift until the last one to open.

The first thing to be brought up was a gorgeous long metal box. The top of the box was inlaid with pearls and agate, and the box was also engraved with exquisite golden patterns in the style of the old Wharton period.

Karen said:

"This gift comes from Duke Eberron, and we also want to ask the Duke to say a few words."

Duke Eberron stood up:

"I admire this young man very much. I see the courage and perseverance of my youth in Enid, and I am also very optimistic about her attempts on various paths in the future. I think fresh blood like her can

Bring some different changes to Wharton.

"Finally, please open the gift."

What he didn't say was that he didn't decide to give this gift until five minutes ago.

Ms. Karen slowly opened the metal box.

A silvery glow shines in it.

Lying in the red velvet is a short sword.

The total length of the dagger is only eighty centimeters, and the surface of the hilt is plated with silver. This metal is not suitable for making weapons, but it can bear the mysterious power very well.

Eberon said:

"This is the weapon used by my grandfather, Salo Eberron. On the battlefield, he killed countless enemies with a spear, and in the palace, he used this short sword to kill thirty-four assassins.

.

"This weapon brought luck to my ancestors, and I hope it brings luck to Miss Enid."

Everyone applauded.

Enid could feel the powerful magic flowing on the dagger. This weapon could indeed bring good luck to its owner. To be precise, it could erase bad luck to a certain extent. Salo Eberron relied on

The magic power of this weapon has reversed crises time and time again.

Of course, his ability as a legendary knight also played a little role.

Enid did not praise too much, just promised:

"I will not let this weapon down."

Eberron smiled and nodded:

"I gave it to you because I thought you would make it amazing to the world again."

Hewen looked at Silla:

"Saro, I remember he was assassinated in the end, right?"

Silla was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"Mr. Hevin, do you know?"

Siro was a little surprised because their family had always claimed that Salo died at a healthy age.

Hewen said:

"We are friends. If I hadn't been assassinated, maybe he would have been sitting next to me."

Ms. Karen took out the second gift.

The box in her hand is made of transparent material, but the material is neither glass nor crystal.

What is placed in the transparent box is a simple white paper.

There is also a little black writing on it.

Karen said:

"Thanks to Carmen Dickinson for, uh, a land deed?"

A young man with eyes stood up:

"This is an estate I gave to Miss Enid on behalf of our Dickinson Group. It is located on the outskirts of Wharton."

Enid didn't know what to say:

"Thanks?"

The gift from Dickinson Group is really simple and crude.

The young man nodded and sat down.

In fact, in most of these banquets, members of the Dickinson Group would participate and give a relatively valuable but not too precious gift.

Karen took out a small wooden box:

"This is a gift from Mr. Hevendrenger."

Confused exclamations sounded in the hall.

No one knows who this Hevendrenger is.,

Only Enid's eyes lit up.

Veronica and others looked at Hevin.

Hewen said:

"I gave her this a long time ago."

Karen opened the box and she still remembered the handsome man named Hevin:

"A bracelet."

She picked up the simple silver bracelet:

"What did Mr. Hevin want to say?"

There was silence.

Everyone felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

But in an instant, someone moved.

Enid walked up, took the bracelet directly, and put it on her hand.

The girl looked around the banquet, but could not find Hewen, and her expression was a little confused.

Veronica asked:

"Mr. Hewen, why can't she recognize you?"

Mr Hevin said:

"Because the time has not come yet."

But the girl still smiled in an unknown direction and narrowed her eyes like a crescent moon:
Chapter completed!
