The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

“That’s right, they’re all from the same series of weapons.” Wiener nodded. “It’s just that it’s more comprehensive.”

Compared to the other two Magic Kings that control the sky and the sea, the Lightbringer, which controls the power of the earth, has greater power and a wider range of applications, making it the perfect match for Rikka.

Although Rikka is a magical puppet with growth potential, her growth rate is simply not enough compared to the monsters in the Silver Wolf Class.

So much so that during the great battle in the capital, Lisette did not even consider summoning it.

With this Ruyi Divine Sword, the shortcomings of Rikka can be made up for.

Wiener couldn't help but glance at Rikka, who was bowing her head in apology, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Next time, remember to find an open space before summoning, don't demolish my blacksmith shop."

"I know I was wrong," Rikka nodded repeatedly.

"You've been spending three days in the blacksmith's shop, haven't you had your fill?" Tilisa crossed her arms and looked at Vina, who was covered in soot.

“It’s definitely time to take a break,” Viner admitted.

Anna sent so much material that we couldn't possibly use it all.

Even if he were to work himself to death at the forging table, it wouldn't take a year or two to burn off his energy.

Rather than saying that a lack of materials limits creativity, it's more accurate to say that inspiration can't keep up with the abundance of available resources.

“That’s a good time to start preparing for the wedding,” said Tissalis.

“For example?” Wiener was taken aback.

Since handing over the preparatory work to Sagoci, he has not paid any attention to the progress and has become a hands-off manager.

The others, on the other hand, were more concerned about the matter, and whenever it wasn't their turn to accompany Vina, they were busy with the wedding preparations.

“For example—how to pass the test of the elders,” Tilissa said. “I’ve already informed Paris and Faldwig, and they will be there on the wedding day. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.”

Vina suddenly felt a headache coming on, "What about Jessica..."

“I am naturally her elder.”

Chapter 694 The Meeting of the Two Fathers

A carriage departed from Cordelia day and night, carrying the Fadewi couple.

Upon receiving Tilisa's letter, they did not delay and headed straight for Lumiel Village, eager to reach their destination as soon as possible.

When the carriage finally came to a stop, what came into view was a scene completely different from that of an ordinary village.

With its towering walls and numerous watchtowers, it resembles a fortress more than a village.

“Lumiel Village… village?” Fadevi doubted his eyes.

He didn't think the kingdom was powerful enough for a village to have such fortifications.

But if that's not the case, doesn't it mean they rushed to the wrong destination?

Fadevi didn't want to miss his daughter's wedding because he went to the wrong place.

Seeing her husband's self-doubt, Xiumei couldn't help but shake her head.

Her gaze fell on a figure not far away, and she gestured with her hand: "If you want to know if this is Lumiel Village, why don't you just ask?"

"I'll go ask right away!" Fadvi snapped back to reality instantly. He didn't even wait for the butler to come down and open the door for him before he hurriedly got off the carriage and walked toward the man.

"Are you from this city? I'd like to ask, is this place called Lumiel Village?" Fadevi asked anxiously.

“I’m not from around here, but this is indeed the village of Lumiel.” The man turned around, his gaze suddenly fixing on Fadevi’s face, a hint of surprise on his face: “Fadevi?”

“Paris?!” Fadvi recognized him as well.

"How did you get here?!" the two men exclaimed in unison.

"Ahem, I'm here as a guest by invitation." Fadvi coughed lightly, his tone carrying a hint of reserve.

“I’m mainly here to inspect my chamber of commerce’s properties,” Paris explained, then smiled and said, “Oh, that’s quite a coincidence.”

Now that they were certain that they were indeed in Lumiel Village, Fadevi's mood improved considerably. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "Then why aren't you in the village? What are you waiting for here?"

Paris raised his head and said proudly, "Of course, I'll wait for my daughter and future son-in-law to pick me up."

"That Miss Anna actually has someone she likes." Fadevi was slightly surprised.

As the daughter of the president of the Valentine Chamber of Commerce, Anna's status is naturally extraordinary, and the person she sets her sights on must also be extraordinary.

“Yes, she’s taken a fancy to a very outstanding young man. I’ll introduce you to him sometime,” Paris said with a smile.

Just then, a voice called out from afar: "Fadwey, I've contacted Lisette, and my daughter says she'll come out to pick us up soon!"

Upon hearing the news about his wife, Fadvi completely forgot about his old friend in front of him and quickly waved in response, "Then I definitely will next time!"

However, just as Fadvi turned to leave, Paris suddenly had a bad feeling: "Wait, is your daughter here too?"

Fadvi, who had been stopped, was somewhat impatient: "What? Do you own this Lumiel village?"

“No, that’s not it,” Paris shook his head, his tone tinged with complexity, “but the Valentin Merchant Guild has contributed a lot to the growth of Lumiel Village. If your daughter were in the village, she would most likely be staying at the guild’s hotel.”

Fadvi suddenly remembered that the wedding invitations had been sent through the Valentin Chamber of Commerce, and immediately felt something was wrong.

"Is it possible that——"

He had only spoken halfway when a spatial fluctuation suddenly rose in front of him.

“Father.” “Dad.”

As the familiar figures appeared, Lisette and Anna greeted their respective fathers.

Unexpectedly, both sides arrived at the same time, and Viner looked slightly embarrassed, but he still took a step forward and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Father-in-law."

However, he was met with two cold snorts that rang out almost simultaneously.

"what do you mean?"

Fadvi glared at Paris, clearly displeased with his old friend's attitude.

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking that?” Paris retorted without backing down, then turned to Venus, his tone accusatory. “You tell him who you’re calling.”

Caught between the two, Viner scratched his head awkwardly, but still answered honestly, "Well... naturally, both of you are."

"You actually want to have your cake and eat it too?!"

"Fadweh is furious," Fadweh said, raising his voice an octave.

“To be precise, there should be three,” Wiener added.

"Listy, come on, let's go home."

Devi seemed to have heard something utterly absurd, and immediately reached out to take his daughter away.

But just as he was about to touch Lisette's arm, she gently avoided it.

“Listy?” Faldwig was stunned.

“I agreed to this, and Wiener did not hide it from me.”

Lisette spoke calmly, her gaze resolute.

Fadvi was speechless for a moment, and could only turn his attention to Paris beside him: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"I'm just waiting for you to take your daughter away."

While equally astonished by Wiener's audacious ideas, Paris was far more restrained than Faldwick.

If Fadvi voluntarily gives up, then Anna will have one less competitor, and in that case, he naturally won't be in a hurry.

"Alright, stop embarrassing yourselves in front of the children."

At this moment, Xiumei stepped down from the carriage, interrupting the tense situation.

She glanced around to get a general idea of ​​the situation, then looked at Vina and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Could I see the last girl?"

"Of course, we should meet with them."

Just as Viner was about to introduce himself, a spatial passage suddenly opened up behind him.

At the other end of the passageway lies an elegant tea room.

Tilisa rose from her seat and gestured to Fadvi and Paris, "Please, gentlemen: you have come as invited. Why don't you have some tea to calm yourselves down first, and then I will explain the reason to you?"

Fadvi and Paris exchanged a glance. Although they still had doubts, they couldn't very well refuse Tilissa's invitation.

"Since it is Lady Tissa who has spoken."

The two stepped into the tea room behind the passage.

Seeing this, Venerer also intended to follow, but the moment he touched it, the spatial passage suddenly closed, leaving him stranded.

Xiumeia saw through Tilisa's intention and gently shook her head, saying, "It seems that Lady Tilisa does not wish to be disturbed for the time being."

“In that case,” Anna stepped forward and said in a conciliatory manner, “Auntie, why don’t you come with us and tour the village of Lumiel first, and give Uncle and the others some time to calm down?”

Xiumei looked at her daughter's "love rival" with a hint of inquiry: "I suppose Miss Anna played a role in Cordelia receiving so much help from the Chamber of Commerce, right?"

“Listy is my good sister, and I hope you won’t blame me for taking it upon myself, Auntie,” Anna said with a playful smile.

Chapter 695 The Premature Resurrection of the Demon God

"Please, Lord Fadevi."

"Thank you."

After Fadevi and Paris were seated, Tilisa did not rush to speak, but instead asked her disciple to serve tea to the two of them first.

Even though Jessica had tried her best to conceal her aura, Fadvi did not dare to underestimate this highly skilled disciple of Tissa.

When I was her age, I was still struggling to graduate from the academy, while she had already defeated several demons.

Fadevi was somewhat flattered to be served tea by such a renowned and powerful figure.

With a heavy heart, Fadvi took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and finally couldn't help but say, "Lady Tilisa, it's not that I'm deliberately making things difficult for your disciple, it's just that Vena is really going too far. He already has Listy, but he still wants to have affairs outside."

Before he could finish speaking, Paris snorted and immediately retorted, "I don't like what you're saying. In terms of looks and family background, my Anna is no less beautiful than Lisette."

Their sharp gazes met instantly.

Seeing this, Tilissa smiled calmly and said gently, "I understand how you two feel, but feelings are hard to measure with reason, and the bond between them is not something that can be easily broken."

“Lady Tilisa, I understand what you’re saying, but is it really necessary to rush things? Lisette hasn’t even graduated yet.” Faldwig frowned.

“St. Freya Academy will not be open for at least one or two years,” Tilisa explained. “The most important task for both the academy and the three kingdoms that have formed an alliance is to prepare for the resurgence of the Demon God. Besides, given the strength of Risti and the others, the academy can no longer teach them anything.”

"These children chose to hold their weddings at this time because they didn't want to have any regrets."

These words immediately made the atmosphere in the room much heavier.

No one dared to guarantee that they could survive unscathed from the demon god.

Although Faldwig was worried about his daughter and even willing to sacrifice himself for her, he would not allow Lisette to desert at this time.

"Shouldn't we at least have some sense of order, like first come, first served?"

He knew his daughter well; once she made up her mind about something, it was very difficult to change it.

However, as a father, Fadvi didn't want Lisette to share such a precious day with others.

“I think it wouldn’t be wrong to sort by age,” Paris suddenly interjected.

Although they were in the same grade, Anna was a few years older than the other two.

"you!"

Fadvi glared at Paris, his eyes filled with displeasure.

Seeing that the two seemed about to argue again, Tilissa spoke up once more: "Please calm down, both of you. The reason why Venere and the others chose this option is to show that everyone will be treated equally from now on, and there is no intention to favor one over the other. If you feel that the scale and grandeur of this wedding are insufficient, you can hold another one in the future."

Having said all that, Fadvi and Paris, though not outwardly agreeing, had more or less accepted the current situation.

But Paris suddenly remembered something and frowned, asking, "Lady Tilisa, there's something else I don't understand. Putting aside the matter of Lisette and my daughter, it seems from what Vena was saying that there are more than two people involved. Who is this third person?"

Fadevi was equally curious about this question and couldn't help but prick up his ears, waiting for the answer.

Upon hearing this, Tilisa simply smiled and then turned her gaze to her disciple.

“It’s me,” Jessica said calmly.

"Huh?!" Paris exclaimed in surprise.

Because of Anna, he was fairly familiar with Jessica, but he never expected that this arrogant Great Herald would also be in love with Vina.
