The next afternoon. "Mr. Ivan, please come in." The Hobson family was somewhat different from what Ivan had imagined. In front of him was a semi-castle-style manor, which was very old and looked more like a botanical garden. Many exotic flowers and plants showed their heritage. He could see at a glance that some flowers and plants could be used as medicinal materials. 'This is actually in Flying Fish Harbor, it's like two different worlds. ' Seeing this botanical garden, Ivan had a new understanding of the abundance of old nobles. If you ignore the geographical location, the environment here is extremely beneficial for botanical apprentices. There were many guests at the banquet, most of whom were nobles riding in carriages, unlike Ivan who came on foot. Just because of his apprentice robe, no one dared to look down on him. Occasionally, nobles stopped their carriages on the road and kindly invited him to go with them, but he politely declined. The banquet was held in the small garden square not far ahead, a few steps away. When he arrived in front of the small garden, there were many guests inside. Ivan unexpectedly found a familiar figure standing guard. He remembered clearly that it was the captain of the guard who had forced him to meet Baron Carl and threatened him at the beginning.
"Ah!" Captain Poker noticed that a man in a wizard robe was approaching. He did not dare to stare at him directly. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his foot, which made him shout and jump up, attracting the attention of many people. There was nothing sharp next to his foot. How could this happen? Poker's face changed drastically. This was an important banquet hosted by the Earl. His rude behavior just now embarrassed the Earl. When his face turned red with anxiety, Baron Carl came out. "Hurry up and go down." "Mr. Ivan, welcome, welcome." Baron Carl just saw clearly that the boy moved his fingers obscurely, and a thorny vine sprang out from the flowers behind Poker and pricked Poker's foot. The boy's nature is to hold grudges! He smiled and greeted him, and did not fail to expose the boy's tricks. Ivan responded: "Dear Baron Carl, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much." Hearing his words, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Baron Carl's face. This might be because he was resentful and thinking about me. "Mr. Ivan, I saw the silver-bone ray you caught alive yesterday. It was really eye-opening. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this is the first time I've seen someone catch a silver-bladed ship cutter alive." "Baron Carl is right. This is the first time I've seen it. It turns out that it was this young hero who did it." "You are young and promising, unlike those boys in my family who dared not move when they saw the silver-bone ray." Baron Carl spoke loudly, which attracted the support of many nobles. Some of them came close to praise him. Ivan dared to swear that this was the most praise he had heard in his two lives, and it also opened his eyes. "Ivan." Purney called from a distance, freeing Ivan and walking over quickly. At this time, Pernie was wearing a white princess dress. She lifted the hem of her dress and it was eye-catching, as if she saw an elf princess in a painting.
Ivan approached, and Pernie motioned for them to talk to one side. Seeing that she was walking awkwardly, Ivan joked, "Can you still fight like this?" Pernie glared at him, "Can you speak? Who do I need to fight with in Flying Fish Harbor? It won't be you." "You can try, ahem -- let's talk business." "Humph! Two wizards came this morning to cause trouble for Toynes. They should have been to that island when we left. Now they are in Flying Fish Harbor. There are people from the same academy as Toynes." Listening to her story about the origins and intentions of the two wizards, Ivan's face became solemn. He didn't know whether it was good news or bad news for them. Pernie also revealed that Earl Hobson had always invited wizards to solve Toynes's problem, and one of them was invited. "Will the two wizards attend the banquet today?" "Uncle will definitely invite them personally, but they may not come." Ivan thought for a while and said, "If they don't come, the three of us will visit them together. Those who are supposed to come can't be avoided. How about that?" "Okay." Pernie also meant this, and she also wanted to find out about the war situation on the island. At the end, she added, "Uncle said he would give you a gift. I hope you like it, Ivan." "What?" "I won't tell you. Who told you not to go with me to see uncle before? Just treat it as a surprise." Purnie still remembered what happened before, rolled her eyes at him, and left with her complicated long skirt. The two people whispering to each other on the side fell into the eyes of many people, and many of them showed thoughtful expressions. Ivan soon found that there were more nobles who showed goodwill to him. "Ivan." The girl's surprised voice was particularly pleasant. Justi also came to the banquet and saw the boy who was enjoying the beautiful scenery around him. Compared to Perni, Jusiti's light green dress is not so exaggerated and complicated, except for a fierce spot in front of her body. "This is my father, Baron Gladden." The two were talking happily, and a middle-aged man came closer at an inappropriate time. It turned out to be Jusiti's father. "Mr. Ivan, I heard from my daughter that you saved her and gave her a chance to escape from danger. On behalf of the Gladden family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and solemnly invite you to visit the Gladden family." Baron Gladden is a serious nobleman, which may be related to his long-term service in the government office. Half an hour later, Earl Hobson appeared, attracting everyone's attention. "I'm glad that everyone is here. I sincerely hope that everyone likes Hobson Manor. Just yesterday, my dear niece, Perni Hobson, returned to Flying Fish Harbor. She is still so beautiful and lively, like a butterfly princess in the garden----" This generation of Earl Hobson is in his prime, with the same advantages as the old earl. He speaks casually and humorously, and his words are long and vivid, which makes the nobles below laugh from time to time. Ivan had the illusion of returning to his school days, standing on the playground and listening to the speech of the head teacher wearing glasses. The two wizards still did not show up, and it seemed that they would not come to the banquet.
After a moment, Ivan's spirits were slightly lifted, and he heard the earl say his name. "Evan Marichatton, he saved my niece Pernie and captured the ferocious sea beast that brought disaster to Flying Fish Harbor. He is the young hero of our city. To express my gratitude and respect for the hero, I decided to give him 'Sanggu' and confer the title of Baron on Evan Marichatton in the name of the Hobson family." As Hobson announced, there was a loud applause and noisy conversation in the garden. As the person involved, Evan really didn't expect such a thing to happen. This is what Pernie said was a surprise. It turned out to be the title that the Marichatton family dreamed of! As a veteran noble, even if it was a barren territory, even if it was insignificant to Evan, as a member of the Marichatton family, he had no reason to refuse such a gift. At this moment, he could feel many envious eyes falling on him, and he was the most popular.
