Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 460 Dinner Party
Night time.

The red moon seemed brighter than ever before, with more light pouring down, dyeing the rebuilt city-state of Caster the color of newly brewed red wine.

It is deep red and gorgeous, yet it contains a weirdness that can cause distortion in people.

The Montoya family is located deep in the Natoli district. This not-so-old noble family has been given new aristocratic glory after Yanar Philips Montoya was elected as the consul of the Castor city-state.

The entire city-state of Castor, including the parliament and the aristocratic committee, became well-organized after Yanar became consul.

Without the constraints of old Ernst, the various families of the Noble Committee focused their attention on city-state construction, factory operations and cross-sea trade.

After the Glory Society made its decision on the position of "Emperor" in the Cordo Sea, Silvera from the Northern Continent came to power, and the Glory Society, an ancient secret organization of nobles, became less mysterious.

Because of the Silvera family, the relationship between the Glory Society and the Ghost School became increasingly close, and its influence gradually spread from the northern continent to the eastern and western continents.

Therefore, after learning about the relationship between Wayne and the Caster City-State, many nobles in the Kingdom of Chatlan in the East Continent used their own influence to more or less provide some conveniences to the Caster City-State.

The new nobles of the city-state of Caster took advantage of this favorable situation and made a fortune. The gold pounds in their homes piled up like a small mountain.

In order to welcome Wayne, Yanar specially held a grand cocktail party at his own manor.

The newly built aristocratic mansion has a hall spacious enough to accommodate a hundred people.

The floor was covered with a soft purple carpet from the Drake Republic. The edges were woven with gold and silver threads in a purple gold flower pattern, which was simple yet luxurious.

The porches and domes are carved with reliefs, interlaced with blue and gold paintings, depicting nothing more than how the city-state of Custer resisted the tsunami during the deep sea apocalypse.

Only in an inconspicuous corner were the nobles led by Yanar, as well as the city-state's secret service, guards and parliament officials, while more space was devoted to the big pirates who came to the rescue.

And behind them, a huge outline was outlined in a very obscure way - the dim black lines were like mist covering a black wizard robe. The face was not clear, but the young man's edges and corners and a pair of blood-red eyes could be seen.

And at the intersection of the domes, that is, on the left chest of the wizard's robe, the mark of the "Ghost School" was painted - a scarlet eye in black flames, just looking directly downward.

In addition to the Montoya family, members of the parliament and the noble committee of the city-state of Custer were all present, and many noble women also came along, all dressed elegantly and appropriately.

Accompanied by the melodious Sanon tune, younger noble men and women circled on the dance floor.

The older ones, such as Yanar, were standing in a corner of the lobby, talking in low voices and laughing from time to time.

However, despite their seemingly relaxed appearance, everyone's eyes would unconsciously look towards the spiral staircase at the back of the lobby, and towards the second-floor corridor guarded by golden railings.

"Mr. Archon, when will Wizard Wayne appear?" a noble with a big mustache and a family emblem on his chest asked in a low voice.

"Old John, you think too highly of me," Yanar smiled and shook his head, "I am just the initiator of the banquet and cannot influence the decision of Wizard Wayne."

Yanar paused, covered his mouth with the red wine glass in his hand and said softly:

"You know, Wizard Wayne came here only because of Lacey. Young people like them have common topics, unlike us..."

An outstanding politician and aristocrat who always demonstrates the unparalleled superiority of his family.

The favor of wizard Wayne is the capital of the Montoya family, and this capital can last for countless years, as long as Lacey is there, as long as Wayne... Normally, the lifespan of a legendary wizard far exceeds that of an ordinary transcendent.

Especially a ghost wizard who wanders between the world of death and the world of the living. Even if his body dies, he can still survive in the world as an undead.

In Yanar's not-so-insignificant knowledge, even though the Montoya family had disappeared in the long river of time, Wizard Wayne was still alive.

The bearded nobleman smiled flatteringly at the right moment: "Lacey has done a good job in the Secret Adjustment Department. With her around, there haven't been any abnormal creatures causing trouble in the Caster City-State for a long time."

"Sir John is right," a lady standing beside him smiled, revealing two sparkling gems on her fingers. She stared at Arnal with her blinking eyes and said:

"Mr. Archon, it's time for you to choose an excellent husband for Director Lacy."

"It so happens that my nephew, Viscount Roland, the heir of the Kite Family of the Divana Kingdom, will visit the Caster City-State in the near future."

Yanar took in her expression and politely refused: "Lacey has her own ideas. As her father, I respect all her decisions, including her choice of marriage."

Sir John looked at the lady with a flash of disdain, and said while maintaining his composure:

"Mrs. Henry, your nephew is indeed excellent, but it depends on who you compare him with. If Director Lacey wants to get married, she can easily find a partner with excellent identity, status and strength based on her relationship with Wizard Wayne."

"Even the Silvera family of the Northern Continent would not refuse the help of Wizard Wayne."

Mrs. Henry glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "Thank you Sir John for reminding me. I almost forgot that the heir of the Silvera family, Ms. Theresa, is a student of Wizard Wayne."

Sir John ignored her, raised his glass and clinked it with Arnald's, and said with a smile:

"I have had several contacts with the Silvera family, and I also mentioned Wizard Wayne through Director Lacey's relationship. Well... they have decided to sign a contract with me to purchase a batch of steel."

"Oh?" Nar smiled and said, "Then congratulations."

Sir John took a sip of red wine and said, "Thanks to Wizard Wayne, the name "Castor" has spread to the Northern Continent. If gold pounds are needed for the construction of the city-state in the future, I hope the Archon will ask for it."

Yanar raised his eyebrows, thinking of the plan that Lacey had told him before, and did not refuse his kindness.

"There just happens to be something that requires your participation, but today is not the right occasion. Let's welcome Wizard Wayne first. Tomorrow, I will have someone prepare a detailed plan and bring it to the committee for everyone to discuss."

"I am looking forward……"

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, there is a heavy dark purple wooden door with gold lacquer patterns, which is as complex and beautiful as the Ukiyo-e on classical churches.

A wooden door was half open, and Marco's mischievous laughter came from inside: "Director Lacey, what kind of husband are you looking for? Wei En and I are happy to help."

Wei En held Tina who had just come through the theater space, and seeing Lacey blushing, he couldn't help but said:
“If Lacey is interested, the Silvera family is indeed a good choice.”

The older Tina stared at him with her bright eyes and nodded ignorantly: "Wayne can help, and so can Tina."

Lacey's defense was instantly broken, and she punched Marco on the head with gritted teeth, "Are you going to introduce pirates to me?"

"Eh?" Marco covered his head and said, "What's wrong with being a pirate? I'm the captain of the Black Pearl!"

"If you want, except Captain Isabel, everyone else... How about Vice Captain Jack? Black Jack is very powerful... Hey, don't fight, don't fight..."

Lacey couldn't stand it anymore and punched him again and again.

It must be said that in her "furious" state, Lacey is worthy of her status as the director of the Secret Investigation Department, and her extraordinary ruling-level rank makes her fist as hard as a hammer.

"Lacey, if you continue to be so violent, you will catch up with Lothilia. It is because she is too violent that no man dares to get close to her..." Lacey hit her harder.

Wayne and Tina were both laughing while watching, feeling relaxed for a rare moment.

After playing around, Lacey let Marco go for a while and sat on the sofa with her arms folded.

"Wayne, I have already told my father about the plan you mentioned earlier. He will hold a meeting to discuss it tomorrow."

Wei En sat lazily beside her, eating the cakes on the table with Tina and said:

"Don't be so anxious. It will take some time to use the rune board in the city-state."

"Anyway, thank you for thinking of Custer." Lacey said seriously:
"This city-state always welcomes you."

Marco couldn't help but let out a laugh, earning a glare from Lacey.

"Don't look at me like that. I just thought that after that night, the Caster City-State put Wayne on the unwelcome list, as well as Tina."

Lacey's anger disappeared, and she laughed awkwardly twice and said, "The list was cancelled long before the Storm Church replaced the Dawn Church. Wayne knows that, right?"

Wayne smiled and nodded, "I don't care."

With his current status, position and strength in the original world, he really doesn't need to care about a small list.

"Lacey, you don't need to be nervous. I chose the city-state of Caster because it is the place that leaves the deepest impression in my memory."

He had just arrived in this world in the city-state of Caster. It could be said that Lacey, Marco, Carly and Euan had the greatest influence on him.

In addition, there are the family treasuries of the current nobles of the Caster city-state.

In Wayne's perception, the treasury in the noble mansion in the Natoli district was quite wealthy, and the dazzling light emitted by each gold pound was very eye-catching.

Fortunately, he is no longer the poor wizard apprentice with only two gold pounds, otherwise he would definitely consider becoming a qualified and noble noble thief.

However, because of this, Wayne decided to start his "Rune Board Civilian Plan" from the city-state of Caster, and transform this city-state into the magical city he showed to Theresa and others.

Lacey felt warm in her heart as she looked at Wayne with a smile on his face.

With the disparity in status and strength between the two, she could no longer treat Wei En the same way as before. Even if Wei En didn't care, she couldn't help but pay attention.

——Because the Wayne who was standing in front of her at this moment was no longer a rookie investigator of the Secret Investigation Department, but Wayne Loft, the "God Eater" whose reputation was heard throughout the four continents!

With the end of the "Deep Sea Doomsday", his deeds were spread to every corner of the world by bards. Even during the three years when he did not show up, countless people still praised his name.

"Wayne, the guests are all here."

At this time, Lacey stood up and smoothed her evening dress.

Wayne patted Tina and motioned her to stand up. He straightened the hem of her dress for her, held Tina's hand with one hand, and walked out while Lacey held the other hand.

Marco had an envious look on his face and followed them, muttering something like envy to himself.

The four of them pushed open the heavy wooden door together, walked through the embossed corridor, and through the gaps in the golden railings, they could see the lobby below.

Yanar stood in the middle of the dance floor, with circles of nobles in formal attire around him, all looking up at the stairs until they saw Wayne appear.

"Wizard Wayne, welcome."

Wei En had a peaceful smile on his fair, strong face under his black hair, and nodded slightly:

“Thank you Governor Montoya for your hospitality.”

Yanar's slightly plump body shook uncontrollably, and he looked around with a bright smile.

Look, this is the strength of their Montoya family!
However, the nobles around him only had Wei En in their eyes, and seeing his figure was like seeing a dazzling treasure.

If they were not concerned about their noble status, they would not have saluted so reservedly.

"Welcome, Wizard Wayne."

"welcome……"

Wei En took it all in, smiling at everyone until he was completely integrated into the group.

"The banquet has officially begun!"

……

Just as the Montoya family estate was in a frenzy due to Wayne's arrival, McAllister was pretending to be calm on the top floor of the cathedral a few streets away.

The murals on the dome were stained with obscurity by the light of the red moon, but driven by the origin of the storm, the distorted power was no longer effective.

So this was not the reason why McAllister was panicking. What made him concerned was the lady in a sky blue gauze dress sitting opposite him at the moment - the real incarnation of Lady Storm, Bertolis, who controlled storms and the power of freedom!

"Ms. Bertolis, you have to believe that Wizard Wayne is very busy."

"Are you so busy that you can attend a worldly banquet?" Bertolis leaned back on the soft sofa, her eyes passing through the cathedral and falling on the Montoya family estate.

McAllister coughed twice and laughed dryly: "He will meet you tonight."

"Oh, so did you tell him the six points I mentioned?" Bertolis slowly raised her left leg and crossed it over her right leg, revealing her fair and moist skin under the slits on the outside of her thighs.

"Sorry, Wizard Wayne said ten o'clock." McAllister answered truthfully.

It's pretty cool to let him, a righteous god with only a weak "real" kingdom, face the Storm Lady who has been famous for four epochs alone...

Bertolis glanced at him, remained silent for a long time, and then a charming smile appeared on her face:

"Then follow Wizard Wayne's schedule. I'm... not in a hurry."

He was really curious about what the little guy who was protected by the "Clothes of the World" would say.

You wouldn't want to mention that "family-building" marriage to Him, would you?
If this happened, the Saint of Freedom Eve Hendrix would probably faint from excitement...
