Chapter 39: An Irish Town (21) (Update 1) A gathering of heroes...
Ye Mo took the invitation.
The content of the invitation was simple and clear, focusing on the time and place, without much detail.
The elf leader in red riding clothes saluted her again, and then led the other knights to turn around and leave, leaving behind rows of tall, straight and handsome backs. So many of them showed up just to deliver a dinner invitation.
The crowd was chattering and very lively. It was not common to be invited by the mayor.
Under the envious, curious or admiring gazes along the way, Ye Mo left the Magic Chamber of Commerce Street and went to Uncle Watson's potion shop.
She had already made an appointment with Watson in advance. This week, he found information about two more potions. This was the 10th and 11th potion information since the first time he took the potion.
This number sounds okay. Only Ye Mo knows how much energy, money, and connections Watson has spent to find these potions that enhance physical fitness among millions of potions. It is really not easy at all.
No matter what you do in this world, if you want to do it to the extreme, you must have hard work behind it.
"Maria, did you just get the invitation letter from the mayor?" Watson obviously knew about this.
Ye Mo nodded.
After exchanging some information, she knew that Watson did not receive an invitation from Mayor Fetan.
Of course, Ye Mo was not the only one who accepted the invitation. There were at least a thousand people, and she was not the only survivor. I heard that all the new and old members of the Storm Mercenary Corps where Bella Arthur was were invited.
The Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps was not strong enough and was not invited at all.
"Watson is still far away!"
Uncle Watson laughed and scolded his own brat, and then showed the goblin girl a charitable smile of an elder: "Only those who are super strong in some aspects or have the potential to become peak ability people will be invited to the dinner by the mayor of Feitan. The last time was three years ago, Watson, you hadn't come to the town at that time."
Watson was a little worried: "Strong?"
Although he has made a lot of progress in recent days, he is indeed a step behind Ye Mo and the others, but he is still very happy for his companion to accept the invitation of the mayor.
Watson's uncle gave them a detailed description of the Mayor's Dinner.
The Irish Mayor is named Gavin Fittan, a powerful high-level fire magician. His wife is a noble and mysterious mermaid princess, and their marriage is considered a tribal marriage.
Because of the existence of monsters, the social system of this world is not like a pure slave society, or a feudal society, or a modern society. The relationship between towns is a bit similar to the relationship between countries in Western fairy tales.
The position of the mayor is equivalent to that of a lord, and the city lord may be similar to a king. They have great power, and the biggest city lord is of course the king of the kingdom with the longest history and the most powerful people.
But every city lord and mayor faces an enemy - monsters, especially the beast tide that can destroy the city.
This coincides with what Captain Hook and the others said. Therefore, the mayor has great power, but he also needs to rely on mercenaries. The more mercenaries a city has, the safer and more stable the city is.
Similarly, the same is true for high-level professions, alchemists, craftsmen, and white magicians can all be called wise men.
Therefore, meeting warriors and wise men is something that happens every two or three years. It is not common, but not uncommon.
This is a routine banquet held by the mayor of the Irish town to protect the Irish town and retain the strong. The screening conditions are often quite strict.
There are two reasons why Ye Mo was invited, swordsmanship and craftsmen, especially the latest series of knife series weapons she forged.
As for whether Bella and the others have benefited from the mercenary group, this will have to be asked from the Storm Mercenary Group.
"Only the best people in town can be invited. This is a hero's medal, not a bad thing."
Ye Mo was not the first goblin invited by Mayor Fetan, but he was definitely the first combat goblin.
"Hero's medal?"
Uncle Watson gave a positive reply and continued to talk about some of the things he knew about the dinner.
After Ye Mo thanked him, he turned to Watson and continued to talk about the two new potions. After working together for so many days, he got to know Watson better.
He is a very trustworthy person. He does what he says. He has a gentle personality but sticks to his principles. He is considerate, smart and intelligent. It is rare to meet such a person in life.
Suitable for developing into a long-term partner.
While Ye Mo was spending money on drugs to increase his attributes, he also did not forget his partner. He bought all the magic coins that Watson used to take drugs, and gave him a defense brooch, provided some funding, and asked him to study the potion seriously.
She closed her eyes and drank the potion.
[Survivor Ye Mo was detected to have broken through the critical point of physical fitness, physical attribute +1] × 2.
Ye Mo:
"Check personal status."

—————————
Ye Mo immediately added: "Increase the 2 free point attributes to the spiritual point attributes."
[It was detected that the spiritual attribute value of the survivor Ye Mo in the "Irish Town Dungeon" reached 60 and was breaking through..., and the third-level spiritual ability breakthrough failed. 】
"..."
This was the first time that Ye Mo faced a failure in the spiritual ability breakthrough, which shows that the higher the level of the ability, the more difficult it is to advance.
Watson's physical attribute finally reached 30 points. Although he did not break through the second superpower, his water superpower was successfully upgraded. If he continues to advance and reaches the intermediate superpower, he will be able to protect himself.
When Watson advanced, Ye Mo felt the fluctuations of energy around him. This was the first time she used her mental power to perceive the energy of another person's body.
Although it was very short, she was sure that it was definitely not her illusion.
...
After carefully consulting with Watson's uncle, Ye Mo gave most of her remaining savings to Watson, allowing him to continue his research on potions. Before sunset, she rushed to the dinner of the Irish mayor.
The mayor does not live in the center of the town, but at the end of the southeast direction of the town.
There is a large piece of land here, which is many times larger than the area occupied by the Magic Chamber of Commerce, Magic Association, Mercenary Association, etc. in the town. Few people have had the opportunity to visit.
At the gate of the manor stood two rows of red-dressed knights, all of them were fully equipped with swords, and their faces might be younger than the ones she saw in the morning. Well, she couldn't tell the age of Western Europeans.
Ye Mo handed over the invitation.
"Dear Maria, please follow me."
After confirming the invitation, one of the young knights came out and acted as a guide.
Ye Mo followed the young knight into the manor.
The area of the manor is naturally not small. Every beautiful tree has been carefully selected, transplanted, and pruned. There are also some lifelike sculptures, artificial lakes, wine gardens, rose gardens, monster gardens, fountain rockeries, etc. in between. It's
really a wealthy family.
It was also the first time that Ye Mo saw live monsters in an Irish town. They were not trained or even bred like poultry, but were kept in cages engraved with magic circles like in a zoo.
In addition to the above, he also encountered several teams of knights on the road, who were guarding the order and stability of the manor.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the solemn and majestic castle complex in the center of the manor finally appeared in sight.
They walked towards the most magnificent castle in the center.
Walking up the white marble steps step by step, there was a subtle feeling that was hard to describe.
It was also the first time that Ye Mo saw the legendary real maids.
They were tall and wore uniform solid-colored long-sleeved linen dresses. The colors were not uniform, they were completely plain, and their faces had more or less cute freckles of adolescence.
The young knight handed the guest over to a young maid.
The young maid pulled up her skirt with both hands and spread it to the sides. She bowed with her knees slightly bent before saying, "Respected Maria, please follow me."
Unlike what Ye Mo imagined, the interior of the castle was not as cold and serious as it looked from the outside. There were many clean and transparent glazed windows. The interior was bright but not dazzling, including the paintings hanging on the walls, which were all in a warm orange color.
After walking through two long corridors and turning left, there was a spacious reception hall.
On the dome of the castle is a whole piece of gorgeous and colorful crystal windows. The sunlight shines through the crystal windows, reflecting the six colors of light, like a colorful rainbow, pouring down from the sky, making the whole hall shrouded in colorful and bright light.
Looking down, the banquet hall is arranged in a circle. There is a large open space in the middle of the circle. At this time, handsome and beautiful young men and women are dancing happily to the sound of classical music.
Ye Mo doesn't understand this kind of dance, but he knows that the most common dance move in their dance is to turn in circles.
Turn in circles non-stop.
At the edge of the central circle is the banquet table, on which are placed plates of fruits, stacks of snacks, and jugs of fine wine. There are also some young maids behind the guest table who are responsible for serving the guests.
"Mr. Maria, please."
Ye Mo was not the first person to attend the banquet. Two large mercenary groups had already sat down and were chatting.
The appearance of the goblin attracted some attention, and some people nodded and greeted him, and then resumed their chat. The 'crazy goblin' was famous, but it didn't seem to attract enough attention in front of many masters.
After all, all the people here were strong.
Ye Mo found an empty seat and sat down. A young maid behind him immediately helped her to arrange new tableware, and removed the dried meat and meat particles that the goblin didn't eat, and helped to pour wine.
She spoke out of habit: "Thank you."
The young maid paused, shook her head, showed a shy smile, and replied softly: "You are welcome, sir."
After that, she performed a skirt-pulling ceremony, returned to her original position, and stood upright and elegant.
Ye Mo did not touch the glass of wine. He ate fruit and waited quietly.
...
More guests came one after another.
The first ones to come were the famous mercenary groups. Not long after, the Storm Mercenary Group also came.
How many eye contact did one person make.
Compared with the first meeting in Mercenary Street, there were only three survivors of the Storm Mercenary Group - Bella, the dual-powered ice and wind from the United States, Arthur, the swordsman from the United Kingdom, and an Italian fire-powered person named Alexander.
They may have more golden fingers than these, but Ye Mo only knows this at present, from the gossips of the mercenary group.
Bella and others were also surprised to see Ye Mo again.
However, this surprise only lasted for two seconds, and then returned to normal. Everyone knows the reputation of the Goblin Crazy Craftsman, but I don’t know if she was invited because of her fighting ability or her craftsman profession, or both?
The top three in the space all appeared here.
In addition to the three survivors of the Storm Group, there are also two male survivors in a large mercenary group, one is a Japanese white magic healer, and the other is an American. They are from different countries, but unexpectedly formed a small cooperative group.
Among the survivors still alive in the space, only Ye Mo and Watson did not reveal their nationality, one because of the goblin race, and the other was simply rejected after waking up.
So far, except for Ye Mo, most of the people who appeared at the banquet were groups.
There are more and more people in the banquet hall.
Finally, there are more than just the mercenary group.
Some potion masters, alchemists, and goblin craftsmen from other professions have also arrived. Among them, the senior goblin craftsmen are the most friendly to Ye Mo, after all, everyone comes from the same race.
It is more like an elite gathering.
Master Ian did not come this year because of work, but he also entrusted two senior craftsman friends to send greetings to Ye Mo, asking them to support our excellent goblin seedlings.
Another half an hour later, a survivor who was alone like Ye Mo appeared. He was also a survivor from China - Li.
Ye Mo had seen Li several times in the Irish town, mostly on Mercenary Street.
Every time she saw him, she could feel that he had become worse than the last time. Not only was his appearance abnormally pale, but his black eyes were getting deeper and deeper. Looking directly at them could make ordinary people feel cold, so no one was willing to approach him.
Watson had asked about Li, but the mercenaries were not willing to talk about Li. Some even warned Watson not to make friends with Li, saying that he was dark and scary, and very, very, very unfriendly to him.
There were not many seats left in the banquet hall.
The potion master and magician were obviously repelled by Li, and they did not hide the disgust on their faces, but they did not say it out loud. Therefore, there were many fewer positions for him to choose.
Li and Ye Mo looked at each other.
When Li sat down on the right side of Ye Mo, she used the wine glass in her hand to hide her strange expression.
There was a faint smell of blood next door that lingered for a long time. With the help of his mental power, he could clearly sense that the strength of fellow survivor Li Zhou was extremely unstable and fluctuated every second.
Can't it be improving every second? What the hell is the reduction in volatility? What kind of special ability is this?
