n“It’s up to you. As the Queen, you have the highest authority. If you have thought it through, then go ahead and do it. I have no objection!”

n

n

nRennes thought for a while, then answered bluntly.

n

n

n

n

nHe was not from this world, so naturally, he did not have any sense of belonging to this world.

n

n

nHe was only thinking of how big an impact the “Introduction to Magic” would make on this world if it spread on a large scale.

n

n

nAnd how many mysterious light spots he would be able to obtain. That was what Rennes was most concerned about.

n

n

nAs for whether the impact would be good or bad, he could not care less.

n

n

n

n

nAs for the knowledge leaking to other countries, Rennes did not care either.

n

n

nAfter all, the treasure in the eyes of others was actually worthless in his eyes.

n

n

nThe “Introduction to Magic” contained only basic magic knowledge. Even if others managed to learn the spells he had cast before, he would not lament it at all.

n

n

nBecause the strongest spells in other people’s eyes, the forbidden spells, were just the lowest level spells for him.

n

n

n

n

n“Okay, I understand!” LIFA nodded. Her expression was serious, as if she had made up her mind.

n

n

nA moment later.

n

n

nLifa stood up from her chair, stretched, and said, “Sir Rennes, I have to go to the imperial capital prison. There’s something I need to take care of. You should go back and take a rest for now. When it’s time for the banquet, I’ll send someone to inform you!”

n

n

n“All right!” Rennes nodded and left the administrative hall.

n

n

n..

n

n

nAt eight o’clock in the evening.

n

n

n

n

nEscorted by a few palace guards, Rennes and Lifa shared a carriage and left for the Sound of the Night Hotel.

n

n

nIn this magic world, a hotel was the favorite place of the nobles.

n

n

nThe hotels started out as taverns operated by families of dwarves who loved to drink. In order to make it more lively, they invited many guests.

n

n

nThis was recorded by the bards in their songs and stories, and slowly spread to various kingdoms.

n

n

nFrom the earliest form of small taverns operated by the dwarves, some had developed into really grand hotels.

n

n

nAfter a long period of time, every hotel had become different and unique.

n

n

nAs the most famous hotel in the capital, the Sound of the Night was fit to hold a royal banquet.

n

n

nAccording to rumors, the owner of the hotel was not someone ordinary.

n

n

n

n

nSome said that he was a dragon descendant, while others guessed that he was a half elf.

n

n

nAfter all, only dragons and elves had long lifespans.

n

n

nIf a dragon descendant or half elf was discovered, many people would go to them looking for trouble.

n

n

nEspecially bounty hunters.

n

n

nHowever, the Sound of the Night continued to operate so peacefully.

n

n

nIt was because the owner’s power had already reached the level of an Archmage.

n

n

nLifa and Rennes finally arrived at the Sound of the Night.

n

n

nThere were already more than ten carriages parked at the entrance. It seemed that everyone had arrived.

n

n

nBut as the main characters, of course Lifa and Rennes had to arrive last.

n

n

n“Oh, the Esteemed Queen has finally arrived!”

n

n

nSeeing the guests coming down from the newly-arrived carriage, a middle-aged man in a white suit with a handlebar mustache and a smile on his face hurriedly went over to welcome them.

n

n

n“This is…” When the man with the handlebar mustache noticed Rennes, his brows furrowed in concentration, as if he was rummaging through his memory.

n

n

nSuddenly, like he had realised something, the smile on his face became even brighter. He said, “I didn’t expect Chief Consul Rennes to accept the invitation! Oh, this is a great honor for me, Allen!”

n

n

n

n

n“Earl Allen is too polite. Let’s us talk inside!” Lifa got out of the carriage and smiled politely.

n

n

n“Yes, Your Majesty, Chief Consul. This way please!” The man with a mustache returned the smile and led the way.

n

n

n“Earl Allen is like a lubricant. He maintains a good relationship with all the nobles in the kingdom, offending no one, so he can talk to all the nobles. He even acted as a middleman for some of the shady businesses the Lucas family was involved in!” Lifa whispered into Rennes’ ear while they followed after Earl Allen.

n

n

nThey soon arrived inside the hotel.

n

n

nThe interior of the hotel was vastly different from its plain and unadorned exterior. It was decorated luxuriously.

n

n

nRennes was now starting to believe that the owner was indeed a dragon descendant.

n

n

nOnly a dragon descendant would be so keen to collect so much gemstones and gold.

n

n

nRennes followed Lifa to the second floor.

n

n

nLeaning against the golden railing, he looked around. The hotel was crowded with slightly drunk nobles as well as maids holding glasses and fruit plates.

n

n

nThere were some eye-catching girls too, such as the girl in the light green dress right in front of him, or the red-haired girl who was familiar with noble etiquette and was chatting with the older aristocrats.

n

n

nThey were certainly a more comfortable sight to look at than the other pretentious nobles.

n

n

nOn the other side of the second floor.

n

n

nAs Lifa walked to the center of the stage, Earl Allen announced in a loud voice, “Her Majesty the Queen and the Chief Consul has arrived!”

n

n

nFollowing his gesture, everyone’s eyes focused on Lifa who sat down on a bench above the hall.

n

n

nHowever, the legendary Lord Rennes was nowhere to be seen.

n

n

n“Eh?”

n

n

n“The Chief Consul has disappeared!”

n

n

n“Has anyone seen him?”

n

n

n“Where’s Lord Rennes?”

n

n

nAt this moment, Rennes, who was mingling among the crowd at the bar counter on the first floor, glanced up at the second floor.

n

n

nHe had heard the commotion, but he was too lazy to deal with it.

n

n

nHe asked the bartender for a glass of wine and looked at the beautiful women around him.

n

n

nSince he had decided to come to the banquet, he should enjoy himself. Rather than being watched all the time, he would rather walk around anonymously. Perhaps he would make some unexpected gains this way.

n

n

nFinally, a glass of signature wine called the Brilliant Mary was placed in front of Rennes.

n

n

nRennes took a small sip out of courtesy and put it down.

n

n

nIt must be said that the wines of this world were truly terrible, especially after he had already tasted all the famous wines in the world in his previous life.

n

n

nThis kind of wine, even his dog wouldn’t drink.

n

n

nHowever, it was being praised in the aristocratic circle as the best wine.

n

n

nAfter staying in the Noah Kingdom for a few days, Rennes had found out that the Noah Kingdom might not be as powerful as the Raytheon Empire in terms of magic, but in terms of living expenses, it was not inferior to any other country in the eastern region of the Arnold Continent.

n

n

nAt the same time, it indirectly confirmed something for Rennes: although this world was extremely prosperous in terms of magic, the overall productivity level of the society was still in a relatively backward state.

n

n

nIt was at a level of development comparable to medieval Europe.

n

n

nTime passed, and the banquet finally entered the second half.

n

n

nUnder the influence of alcohol, Lifa’s face was flushed. She looked drunk. However, keeping in mind her dignity as the Queen, she barely managed to hold on.

n

n

nAlthough Rennes had been downstairs the whole time, he had kept an eye on Lifa.

n

n

nIt was about time.

n

n

nThe next instant, Rennes suddenly appeared beside Lifa.

n

n

nLifa looked at Rennes with joy in her eyes. It seemed that she had a lot to share with Rennes.

n

n

nAfter all, maintaining the internal stability of the kingdom was the first major thing Lifa had to do after she inherited the throne.

n

n

nNow that she had done it, how could she not be happy?
