Chapter 25: Banquet

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Damn, amazing! An Ice Dragon’s soul has been sealed inside. The Ice Dragon is an extremely powerful magical creature. If it is a full-grown Ice Dragon, its strength will be comparable to a Great Archmage. There are even some powerful Ice Dragons comparable to a Divine Mage. To be able to kill an Ice Dragon and even seal the soul of the Ice Dragon intact in a weapon, this can only be accomplished by at least a Divine Mage.

It seemed that he had randomly picked a remarkable weapon.

Furthermore, this was a weapon that could grow. In its current damaged state, it was already a low-grade gold-tier weapon. If it was repaired, there was no telling what grade it could grow to. Even when Romo was still alive and already very powerful then, his weapon was just a low-grade gold-tier weapon, and one that could not grow. This weapon, which was capable of growing, was definitely better than the weapon he had when still alive.

However, when Romo tried to spend Faith Points to upgrade the Ice Wand, the System notified him that he did not have enough Faith Points. It seemed like 10,000 Faith Points was far too insufficient to upgrade the Ice Wand. Even so, the Ice Wand was a rare killing weapon for the Nicholas family clan. It would suffice for their current use.

After the ancestral worship had ended, everyone began to be busy with the lunch banquet.

This time, in order to increase the reputation and influence of the Nicholas family clan, they had invited almost everyone in Winterfrost. The more guests, the better. They had prepared more than a hundred tables for the banquet. If it had been a month ago, they would not even have dared to think of this because it would have cost two years of hard-earned money to organize a banquet of a hundred tables. However, things were different now. Any one of their businesses, whether it was the teahouse, the clothing store, or the soap business, alone was enough to support a hundred tables, especially the soap business which had been very profitable. The money it had earned in the past half a month could easily support a banquet of a thousand tables.

The banquet had also been divided according to the seating. There were more than a hundred tables in the courtyard outside and a few tables in the main hall. The main hall was where the VIP banquet was held. The guests were all people of high status. When it was almost noon, the guests gradually arrived.

The eldest son, Zoro, as well as John and Nicholas, had gone to the door to welcome the guests. Even the star today, Arthur, had been carried out.

And then there was Ron. He had stopped cultivating today and came out to attend the banquet. He and his aunt Sonia had been setting up the table, but he was obviously preoccupied and distracted. Even when Sonia talked to him, he appeared distracted. Sonia had to ask him questions several times before he could hear her clearly. Seeing Ron constantly looking toward the door, Sonia burst out laughing.

“What are you laughing at, Aunt?” said Ron, snapping out of it.

“I’m laughing at someone’s one-sided love!” said Sonia teasingly, and then she laughed so hard that Ron blushed instantly.

“What are you talking about, Aunt? I’m not in a one-sided love,” Ron retorted emphatically in defense. But, it became an admission.

Sonia said, “Haha, look, I didn’t even say it was about you, yet you admitted it yourself. You even said that it wasn’t a one-sided love.”

“I...”

Now Ron had nothing to say. Although he was a genius in magical power, he was a noob when it came to relationships. He was no match for Sonia.

“A few days ago, I had already heard that the gifted girl from the Campbell family was coming back. Have you not seen her yet?” Sonia asked.

“No, she said she was going to carry out a mission for the academy. She was probably delayed,” said Ron.

“Oh? You’ve already communicated with her in writing?” said Sonia, catching the loophole in Ron’s words.

“I...” said Ron, cornered again by Sonia’s words. He stopped saying anything, knowing that he was no match for his aunt.

Sonia was right. Ron had indeed corresponded with Serena. A few days ago, a maid from the Campbell family clan had come over, all of a sudden, to deliver a letter to him. It was from Serena. She said that the main reason she was coming back this time was to complete the mission assigned to her by the academy, and returning home to visit her family members was just by the way.

But Ron was very delighted that she had specially written such a letter to him.

At the same time, he had begun to worry. He wondered if the mission assigned by the academy to Serena was dangerous. If only he could be by Serena’s side, then he could protect her.

Unfortunately, he could only think about this. Even up to now, he dared not reveal his strength without instruction from the Old Ancestor.

However, I do really wish to see her immediately!?

Ron thought.

“The head of the Campbell family clan has arrived!”

As Ron was lost in thought, a sudden announcement interrupted his thoughts. He was delighted and craned his neck to look at the door.

At the same time, almost everyone present, whether they were from the Nicholas family clan or some other guests, stood up and looked toward the door after they had heard the arrival. After all, the Campbell and Grimm family clans were the two most powerful family clans in Winterfrost. The Nicholas family clan could only take a back seat. Now that one of the two most powerful persons in Winterfrost had arrived, they naturally had to be respectful.

They saw a group of people walk in from the door. The person in the lead was wearing a white robe and had a kind expression. He was the head of the Campbell family, Colin Campbell.

At the same time, Norton, who had received the news, came out immediately from the main hall. When he saw Ron, he said to him, “Come with me to welcome him.”

Ron naturally could not refuse, and he immediately followed behind Norton.

When the guests in the courtyard heard Norton’s words, they immediately looked at Ron. There were looks of envy, disdain, mockery, and so on. There was even a great deal of murmurings.

“Damn, is that Ron? He’s really handsome. It’s a pity that he is wasted as he cannot cultivate anymore.”

“I have heard that he used to be engaged to the princess of the Campbell family clan. I wonder if this is still the case?”
