Chapter 156 God's Birthday
This farce-like meeting of the twelve seats ended with Yieta taking the lead in leaving.
The meeting lasted no more than twenty minutes. Apart from a brief chat about the work related to God's Birthday at the beginning, Cromwell, who initiated the meeting, kept talking about useless nonsense.
Cromwell really seemed to want to just bring them together to say "Happy Birthday to God".
Lu Yi turned to Saman and said, "...Is he having a seizure?"
Saman shrugged. "I guess so. Who knows what has happened to him? I don't know what he is thinking about every day..."
The chairman has done a good job, but his mental state is a bit worrying.
"He has become more and more paranoid since his brother passed away. If Claude were here, he would definitely beat him to death..."
Saman said this and also fell silent.
Fielding followed them and asked curiously, "His brother? The eldest son of the Loren family? Didn't they say he died in an accident?"
Saman glanced back at him and sighed, "Died in an accident? How is that possible..."
A dragon slayer may not necessarily succeed in slaying the dragon, and there is a high possibility that he will turn into a pile of bones.
They are just victims of the game between various forces.
"Let's go. See you tomorrow."
…
On the eve of the God's birthday, Lu Yi received two heavy packages.
The larger one came from Klein Manor in the New Victory Capital, and contained the birthday gifts prepared for him by his father, Duke Klein, his mother, Lady Klein, and his brother, Lord Astor.
The other one came from his second brother, Zorn.
...The origin of the message is unknown.
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, feeling a little curious.
If he remembered correctly, his second brother should also be in the college at this time, so the address of Lasvino College is not impossible to write.
So Lu Yi said with certainty: [“Zorn must be hiding a secret from us!”]
857 was puzzled by his hasty decision and asked: [Just because of an address? You are too arbitrary! ]
Lu Yi shook his head. "No, no, no, you are being narrow-minded. Zorn also sent me gifts for the God's Birthday two years ago. The address of Lasvino College was clearly written on it. There is no reason why he can't send it this year."
[“This only means that Zorn was not in school during this period, and he might even be in some important place. But who else would not celebrate the God’s Birthday?”]
857 was startled and asked: [Could it be that you already have an idea? ]
Lu Yi said seriously: [“No.”]
[“…So I decided to open my God’s Birthday present first.”] His expression instantly returned to being cheerful.
【ah? ? 】
857 was completely dumbfounded and wanted to continue asking questions.
But Lu Yi no longer paid attention to him and concentrated on opening the gift box in front of him.
Arranging the gifts according to the age of the people who prepared them, Lu Yi opened Duke Klein's box first.
The box was dark blue and contained a small ring.
Lu Yi put on the ring with the huge sapphire.
It was indeed a space ring, filled with gold coins like a mountain. At first glance, it was so golden that it almost blinded Lu Yi's eyes.
He tried to find Duke Klein's warm fatherly love under the hill of gold coins, and then discovered that the gifts of fatherly love were all gold coins.
Each and every coin is made of 24K pure gold.
It’s really not Lu Yi’s fault that he treats the gold coins as dirt, but now the gold coins in his space ring are no different from dirt.
Then there is Mrs. Klein’s gift. The pastel-colored gift box and the light yellow ribbon packaging are particularly girly, and the item inside also matches the gift box very well: it is a hand-woven light yellow scarf.
I don’t know what material the scarf is made of, but it feels very good to the touch, soft and light, and very warm. Lu Yi just tried it on for a while and then he started sweating.
There was a warm fireplace in the main hall where he stayed, and there were fire elemental magic stones emitting heat around it.
Lu Yi had no choice but to carefully place the light yellow scarf on the sofa behind him.
——In order to make it easier to open the gifts, Lu Yi did not sit on the sofa, but sat cross-legged on the soft wool carpet in front of the sofa.
“Could it be that there’s some monster fur mixed in…” he muttered softly.
Lu Yi reached out to the next box.
Aster's gift was similar to his cold-outside-but-warm-inside personality. The packaging box was a low-key silver exterior with a dark red velvet lining inside. On top of it lay an exquisitely crafted pocket watch, and underneath the pocket watch was an orange-level skill scroll.
[Big brother is so nice.] 857 couldn't help but sigh.
High-level skill scrolls are basically monopolized by mages from various forces. If this skill scroll was given by Duke Klein today, it would be understandable, but it was given by Astor, who has no magical talent.
With what intriguing look should he search for an extremely precious high-level skill scroll for him?
857 shouted: [Oh! Big Brother——]
Lu Yi remained silent, and silently put the high-level skill scroll into his space ring, and then carefully put the pocket watch into his inner shirt pocket.
The last one is from Zorn.
It is a very plain box. Strictly speaking, it cannot even be considered a special gift box. It is more like a paper box that was temporarily taken apart from some objects and forcibly pieced together.
There was a dagger lying in the cardboard box.
Lu Yi narrowed his eyes quietly.
This dagger looks very familiar.
857 blurted out: [It's like a dagger of the void! ]
Lu Yi nodded and held the dagger.
The pitch-black dagger was icy cold, and carried an eerie chill that penetrated into the bones.
He made a quick knife dance and raised his hand to throw the dagger towards the side wall.
The dagger cut through the air with a sharp sound, easily cutting off the elk antler hanging on the wall, and then stabbing the handle into the wall.
[“There are differences, but they are really similar.”]
You know, the Void Dagger is a real S-level item, powerful enough to even hurt gods!
Although the dagger that Zorn gave him was not as good as the Void Dagger and could not hurt the gods, it was enough to despise the magical weapons of the human race.
[This doesn't look like a dagger that humans can make.] 857 said, [It looks more like a dagger made by a dwarf weapon master. Considering the dwarves' hatred for humans, your second brother wouldn't have put the knife on someone's neck and snatched it, right?]
Lu Yi stood up and pulled out the dagger with a subtle expression.
[“That’s hard to say. Anyway, this is a generous gift.”]
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a divine weapon.
Zoen values his younger brother more than Lu Yi thought.
【Oh! Second brother——】857 said in a rhythmic manner.
Lu Yi: [“That’s enough, shut up.”]
【oh--】
…
The next day is the first day of God’s birthday.
Lu Yi slept until noon, and when he finished his meal and arrived at Braceside it was already past two in the afternoon.
There were colorful bouquets of flowers piled at his door, spreading all around, piling up layer upon layer, reaching half the height of the door.
There is a small cardboard inserted in the top bouquet of flowers.
Lu Yi picked up the small card, which contained only a simple sentence: "Lu Yi, Happy God's Birthday!"
The signature is in a gorgeous and flamboyant cursive script.
——Regards from Lu Yi Klein Chief, Official Supporters Association, Prince and Flower House
How come the name is getting longer and longer? Lu Yi almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face.
Giving flowers to each other on the God's birthday is a good blessing for the future. He took a while to move all the bouquets at the door into the house.
Although he could use the space ring to do it all at once, Lu Yi still wanted to do some things by himself occasionally, such as this seemingly meaningless transportation.
There were so many bouquets that he placed them in every corner of the villa, but there was still no place to put many of them.
So Lu Yi simply piled the remaining bouquets in a corner of the living room to form a small bouquet tree.
...and it's pretty good looking.
Lu Yi looked left and right, then found a palm-sized ruby from his space ring and stuck it firmly on the tip of the bouquet tree.
“Now it’s perfect!”
Lu Yi showed a satisfied smile.
857 also showed his support and exclaimed: [The finishing touch! ]
He seemed to be addicted to it and continued to search for suitable gems in his space ring to hang on the bouquet tree.
Not only should the size be right, but the colors should also be harmonious.
This is a bit difficult, and the biggest difficulty lies in finding the right gems.
The space ring of Lu Yi is basically filled with precious large gems, and it would take a lot of time to find some suitable small gems and broken gems.
Fortunately, he has always been a very patient person.
When he was almost done with the jewel bouquet tree, there was a knock on his door.
Lu Yi stood up from the pile of gems, and some small gems rolled off his knees.
He spread the precious gems all over the ground like they were worthless pebbles, but no matter how many gems there were, their brilliance was not as dazzling as his golden hair.
“Here it comes!”
Lu Yi pushed open the door and was a little surprised to see the person coming.
"How did you get together?"
Samantha was standing outside the door, followed by Canaan, Rupert, Flo and Fielding.
Saman raised his eyebrows and said, "We met on the road. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence, come in quickly..."
Several of them were regular customers and walked into the living room with ease.
What you see is the bouquet tree decorated with gems and the carpet covering the ground with gems.
Flo was born in an ordinary family. She was instantly dazzled by the wealth that was coming towards her, and she subconsciously let out a "hiss".
Even a descendant of a noble like Saman had never seen such a scene of gems spread all over the ground. He exclaimed in amazement: "The Klein family is indeed one of the richest families. Look at the precious gems all over the ground. Tsk..."
Lu Yi picked up a gem and threw it at him, "The Afro family is not far behind."
Saman caught the gem easily and handed it to Flo beside him.
"Take it and make some beautiful jewelry. Your chief doesn't need a few small stones."
Flo smiled and placed the huge gem on the small coffee table next to the sofa.
Lu Yi threw another gem at Saman, quickly, accurately and fiercely, hitting Saman's shoulder steadily.
"You are the only one with a big mouth. I prepared a gift for Flo for the God's Birthday."
Saman deliberately rubbed his shoulders and shook his head, "How cruel, Lu Yi."
Flo looked up at Lu Yi in surprise, with a hint of barely perceptible joy in her tone.
"A gift for God's birthday? For me? But I'm past the age to receive gifts for God's birthday!"
Canaan beside her immediately muttered, "What? Gifts? Are there any for me?!"
As soon as he said this, Fielding and Rupert on the other side also showed a slight expectation in their eyes.
It's the kind of thing where even though you know there's a high probability that you won't have it, you still can't help but have some unrealistic expectations in this situation.
This time, Lu Yi picked up a smaller gem and threw it at Jianan's feet, "Do you want to see how old you are this year? And where are the gifts for God's birthday?"
Canaan curled his lips and whispered, "Double standards."
Lu Yi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and pointed at the two boxes on the counter.
"The pink one is Flo's, and the blue one is Rupert's."
Canaan immediately raised his hand and asked, "Chief, why don't our Canaan and Fielding have any gifts?"
Saman, who was watching the fun, also raised his hand and asked, imitating Canaan: "Saman doesn't have it either."
Facing these pairs of blazing gazes, Lu Yi finally couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I explain it just now?"
Flo was the first to react and guessed, "Is it because Rupert and I are younger than Lu Yi, and you are all older than Lu Yi?"
Lu Yi blinked, "That's true, I didn't expect you to remember it."
Flo smiled and said, "I saw it by chance when I was sorting out the information before. I was a little surprised that the chief remembered it, but on second thought, it makes sense."
The people around him all showed expressions of understanding and stopped teasing.
Lu Yi smiled without saying anything, thinking that this should be a beautiful misunderstanding.
With three high buffs, just a casual glance is enough for him to remember.
Saman walked to the counter, pushed the gift box and said, "Do you want to open it now? I'm so curious about what Lu Yi prepared for you."
Fro held the gift box and whispered, "...Can I keep it until tonight to look at it? I will definitely like the gift Lu Yi gave me. If I can open it before going to bed, I will definitely have a good dream tonight."
Lu Yi on the side said with a smile: "Of course, it is already your private property, no matter how you deal with it, it is reasonable."
"Thank you Lu Yi! Happy God's Birthday!"
"Happy Birthday to God."
Since Flo wanted to keep it for herself and open it slowly, everyone stopped looking at her gift and turned their eyes to Rupert, who also received a gift.
Rupert picked up the gift box cautiously and said, "Thank you, Chief, and praise the God of Light! But I will never open such a precious gift so easily!"
The corner of Saman's mouth twitched slightly. "With so many people watching us, how can we be casual?"
What a joke, opening gifts is such a childish behavior. He is too lazy to even watch others begging him to do so. If it wasn’t for the gift prepared by Lu Yi, he would not bother to waste time!
"But the gift from the chief deserves better treatment!" Rupert said, "Spray my precious perfume, wear my favorite shirt, and after the most devout prayer..."
Jianan and Rupert had been roommates for such a long time that he had long been accustomed to his bad temper. He immediately urged him impatiently, "Speak human language, or I'll randomly pour out the bottle of perfume on your desk."
Rupert: "I have a date tonight, I need to show off."
His concise answer caused everyone to be silent.
Canaan said speechlessly: "Niu, I should call you brother. You should put less perfume on at night, or you will smell better than the lady you are dating."
Rupert waved his hand. "You don't have to suggest anything. I, Rupert, know a thing or two about dressing up!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Lu Yi shyly and said, "Chief, I believe the gift you picked must be great! It's just... is it suitable to show it in front of your female companion?"
Rupert's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was referring to something else.
Lu Yi understood his hint immediately and said affirmatively: "It's a very cool gift, very cool and domineering!"
"Cool, wild and domineering?" Rupert heard such a new word for the first time and repeated it subconsciously.
He had a bright smile on his face and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you, Chief! If everything goes well, I'll treat you to a meal with her then!"
"That's not necessary. I decline it." Lu Yi said with a fake smile.
He doesn't have the hobby of being a light bulb yet.
Although the dog is alone, it is unyielding and unyielding.
A handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yi's eyes, but he quickly blinked away the face.
Maybe this body has reached puberty, Lu Yi thought silently.
[6161, what gift did you prepare for Rupert? Can he get it?] 857 asked curiously.
[“Car.”] Lu Yi nodded and explained, [“The latest model, there are only ten of them in the entire Isaiah continent.”]
Although he didn't expect Rupert to have an appointment in the evening, it was still a blessing in disguise.
The fireworks on the God's birthday last all night long and are grand and splendid. It should be a romantic thing to drive around in your car.
[High.] 857 asked again, [What gift did you prepare for Flo?]
[“A set of beautiful and valuable but not ridiculously expensive jewelry, and a space ring.”]
[…Is there any gold coins in the space ring? ? ?]
"Bingo!"
857 The moment is indescribable.
[I'm not saying this, hey, Lu Yi, I'm telling you, you can't be like this, how can you just give someone gold coins as a gift? This is too insulting! Flo is a very dignified, very good, very, very good little girl, I won't allow you to treat her like this! ]
857 A passionate output.
[“What kind of idiotic toilet reading material have you been reading recently?”] Lu Yi held his forehead with his hand, [“I told you to read less. If you keep reading like this, your brain will be damaged sooner or later! Do you want to be an idiot too?”]
Although he always joked that 857 was an artificial idiot, he didn't really want an artificial idiot as a system!
857 said righteously: [Don't try to change the subject! ]
[“Don’t think too much. Flo is much smarter and more insightful than you. Do you think she will feel that I am insulting her after receiving this gift from me?”
[“If you really think so, then that’s a real insult to Flo.”]
[“On such a money-burning path of magic, Bryceside’s civilian subsidy policy can only solve the most urgent needs. She needs material support far more than you think.”]
[“Flo is a smart person, and I am willing to be a sponsor who stays out of the matter. That’s enough.”]
And considering Flo's intelligence and sharpness, she probably guessed what might be in the gift box.
"No matter what, we have to thank the Chief! Happy God's Birthday! Lu Yi!"
"Happy God's Birthday!!"
"Happy God's Birthday!"
【Lu Yi, Happy God’s Birthday!!!】
The atmosphere was right, and 857 forced himself to join in the fun in his mind.
Lu Yi looked at the people in the living room and smiled, and said, "Happy God's Birthday."
Although I spent this birthday in a completely new environment with completely new people,
Not bad at all.
At least he liked it.
