On this important day, Ron was reminded by Vivian to wake up early from his nap.
They arrived at the agreed location, where Tabitha and the others were also present, with many people behind her carrying special magical items and so on.
During the preparation period, Ron had some questions, one of which has now been answered: why the elves did not seek help from the legendary Sera.
So the Legend of Sera doesn't have water attribute, which means magic like Time Rain that benefits the World Tree can't be used.
Chris was also looking for Ron and Vivian with a try-it-out mentality.
Another question is about the sightseeing after the birthday banquet.
As the group walked, Ron asked Tebbisa, who was not far away, "Why did you have this study location set up? There are so many similar places."
Tabitha recalled the day she bought those magic flowers at a high price, and a thought began to stir within her…
Thinking back on what happened that day only makes someone's lips purse. (* ￣3)(e￣ *), Humph, how hateful!
I tried it out of defiance, but later I didn't want to push myself too hard, so this is the half-finished product.
"Well, there's not much to say, Ron. Do you want to go and see it again later? I know of a few other nobles who have tried."
"Should we leave the capital?"
"Of course we have to go out."
"Well, no thanks. What are some fun places to visit in the capital? It's a rare opportunity to come here!"
Ron thought to himself, he didn't know when he would be able to come back next time.
Tabitha was in a very good mood and quickly replied, "I know..."
"..."
As they chatted, they arrived at the palace of the Carlo Magic Empire.
It was only at this point that Tabitha started complaining.
"Ron, what do you mean? Stop playing around and get ready for the birthday celebration."
Unexpectedly, Ron suddenly smiled and said, "It's mainly for you to celebrate your birthday; I'm just secretly assisting."
"Wait, how can this be?"
"Did I agree on how it would proceed? Okay, from now on, Ron, I've decided that you'll be primarily in charge of the day-to-day operations..."
In truth, Ron didn't want to be in the limelight. When he first heard that he was going to have a birthday celebration, he wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible.
Here comes a wave of actions that I know by name but not by person, and I feel pretty good about myself.
When the time comes, blend in with ordinary people and observe their expressions and reactions; it will be quite interesting.
Okay! The main problem is that some people's set of aristocratic norms are just too unbearable.
Where is the fun in traveling around in private?
"Ron, no!"
"Why not?"
"..."
As the conversation dragged on, Ron, in his capacity as Pope, explained everything.
The Pope's status...
Only by remaining hidden behind the scenes can one maintain the dignity of a divine messenger in the mortal world.
Suddenly, Tabitha was speechless.
Naturally, this displeased Tebbisa, who had been thinking that she would share the praise with him...
That wretched Ron.
A little bit of glory for everyone back in the day, during the mainland exchange competition, wasn't that enough?
Ron didn't care much; he felt more free to party in private.
"Alright, Your Holiness, whatever you say goes."
"That's more like it."
Ron chuckled. ︿(￣︶￣)︿
The deal has been agreed upon.
The noble caravan entered the palace.
Accompanying Ron and his group were other nobles from the capital, mostly high-ranking nobles. Lesser nobles were in the minority in the capital, while the situation was the opposite in the provinces.
The royal palace in the capital of Carlo.
This is actually my first time here.
Inside the carriage, Tabitha acted as a guide, answering Ron's questions about the palace with some knowledge.
It's clear that Tabitha visits the palace quite often!
It turns out that even some princesses were her friends.
In the past, the term "best friend" would have been used!
He shook his head slightly.
Ron was suddenly slightly surprised.
"What is that?"
Above the royal palace, in a corner of the sky, stood a floating magic city.
The suspended magical artifacts, while not excessively large relative to the entire palace, were still quite astonishing.
In fact, the palace grounds were the size of several cities.
On the way, Tabitha talked a lot about the elements and layout of the palace.
Examples of typical palace architecture include meditation retreats and royal pet palaces.
Tebbsa explained, "This large magical artifact is called Suspended Light City! It was created three hundred years ago in the famous Mag ruins in the western part of the empire. It contains many unsolvable magical problems. Your Sandy territory is only able to develop the magic crystal vehicle because of the help of the elves. Otherwise, my Carlo Empire would definitely be the first to develop the magic crystal vehicle."
Ron couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Carlo Empire's research focus isn't on magic crystal vehicles, is it?"
Tebbsa paused abruptly: "It's related, isn't it? Do you know about the new magical items in the capital? Floating stones, people use them for short-term flight."
"Besides saving a few steps to fly upstairs, what else can it do? Forget it, why don't you talk to me about the other relics instead!"
"..."
"Alright, give the order that we pass by here on our way in."
With a slight adjustment to the route, Ron saw many new and interesting things.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a magical empire.
Many prehistoric artifacts related to magic have been moved here.
I've heard that the various noble families have hoarded quite a few more.
Unfortunately, the items obtained by the dimensional exploration team were designated as restricted areas, located deep within the royal palace, accessible only to members of the royal family. Special permission was required to use those items, which were primarily intended to broaden the horizons of the royal family.
If even royalty is like this, Ron decided to put it another way.
I'm not that curious anyway, so if I can't see it, I can't see it. I don't care anyway!
My emotions have changed; I feel a little bittersweet.
By the way, if there's a chance, maybe I could have one of my demon lords bring some local specialties. No, that won't work either. What if they think Ron is a Fallen One?
Let's forget about it.
You can't be envious of other people's resources, but thankfully, you have a boss in your own family too.
My mindset is generally balanced.
Before they knew it, following Tebbisa's words, they had arrived at the designated location.
"Alright, Miss Tebbsa, you may go! As planned, Ron will secretly assist you during the birthday celebration!"
Tabitha was a little uneasy, after all, she might not be able to see Ron then.
Ron simply said, "Don't worry."
After finishing his explanation, he led Vivian and the others around at their leisure.
The banquet hall was really big!
In fact, the entire palace could be considered a venue for the birthday banquet.
On the other side, Prince Woolley was already waiting there.
On the reserved seats, Prince Woolley had already prepared prominent and prestigious positions for Ron, Tebbisa, and others.
"Where is the Viscount of the Kingdom?"
"Your Highness, Viscount Ron will be there, perhaps..."
"..."
Prince Woolley was speechless.
Meanwhile, Ron, on the fringes of the birthday banquet, began to mingle with the minor nobles of the capital.
A viscount isn't even considered a high-ranking nobleman above the rank of earl!
The viscount's formal attire naturally blends in with the crowd.
He vehemently opposed Prince Woolley's possible plans, thinking that once he sat there, he wouldn't be able to move freely for a whole day.
So annoying.
This is different.
An imperial baron asked, "Viscount, from a small kingdom?"
"You've been ostracized too, haven't you? Would you like to sit with me?"
"The Viscount of the Kingdom greets Your Excellency. Very well, please have a seat."
"By the way, Viscount, your maid is very beautiful."
Ron immediately perked up: "Yours isn't bad either."
The identity of Rita, who is standing next to him, will scare you to death if I told you.
A while later, the nobles who seemed to be acquainted with the baron also arrived.
The minor nobles sat together and quickly began to talk about their own situations.
"Baron Clay, why don't you go and bother Viscount Ivy?"
Aiwei's name itself suggests that she is a woman of noble rank.
"Don't even mention it, what about you?"
"..."
"By the way, this person?"
"Me? I'm from the Kingdom of Gil. I happen to be here as a nobleman and am honored to have been invited!"
"My Carlo Empire is easy to get along with. Since you are fortunate enough to participate in such a lucky event, come along!"
“Of course,” Ron said with a smile.
As they talked, everyone around them unconsciously looked at Rita, especially the little guy, Little Tower, on her shoulder.
The nobles thought they were elves, unaware that they were actually fairies.
"Hey, Viscount of the Kingdom, you're really lucky. I've heard there are quite a few elven envoys from the Kingdom of Gil. How did you manage to form a contract with an elf?"
"Waaah, waaah..."
Little Tower was trying to say that she wasn't an elf or a fairy, you know?
Ron, having established a contract with Rita, understood the meaning behind her words. He beckoned to her, and since she was unwilling to leave him, he gently stroked her head to comfort her.
Finally, Xiaota quickly calmed down.
'I won't stoop to your level.'
The little guy's mind changed quickly, and Ron sat back down, replying to the nobleman from before: "It was all luck!"
"You're really lucky!"
"Do you know Miss Tebbisa? She's the one, the most beautiful woman in the capital. She brought back an elven delegation last time, saying that everyone in the empire has a chance!"
"But why are the elves so hard to approach? Viscount, why don't you tell me? Fine, in the capital, if you need anything, just mention the name of the Mike family!"
“This…” Ron thought about how to answer.
Suddenly, a magical sound rang out—wind magic, a kind of telepathic spell…
From afar, the Queen's guard of honor can be seen arriving!
