CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 87 THE DIFFICULTY OF CREATING A PROFESSION

A banquet, ultimately only four people were full.

You should know that the dish was made by that professional [Chef] of Rica, though it’s unknown what level of professional it is.

But considering the dishes made by a professional, you can imagine how delicious they are.

Ove was always tense, and it’s unclear how much he had eaten, but judging by his appearance, he ate a lot even though he doesn’t seem to like talking.

Fulon, looking foolish, ate a lot too due to the exquisite ingredients, greatly increasing his appetite.

The same went for Lin Ke, who was eating such delicious dishes for the first time, made from simple ingredients and simple methods; Lin Ke admired that [Chef] very much.

The last person who was full was Rica, or perhaps rather than full, she was the happiest while eating.

Because speaking of being full, Rica’s flat stomach didn’t even protrude a bit despite being filled with so much, like a bottomless pit.

As for Antova and Akel, they seemed to have suffered a significant blow at the dining table, causing their hearts not to be in their eating.

After all, Antova is like a flower vase in the Blando Clan, mostly trained in noble etiquette, as her father originally intended to use her as a political bargaining chip, so naturally, she was very elegant.

And Akel was the same, being a merchant who joined the noble system, his hard-earned noble etiquette seemed so insignificant in others’ eyes, which was enough to make him feel sad.

Fortunately, he mostly dealt with non-nobles, so that set of etiquette was still somewhat useful to please people.

...

Dining Room.

"A sumptuous and delicious dinner!" After finishing, Rica was the first to speak and comfortably sprawled in the chair to rest.

After Lin Ke and the others finished eating, they were also relieved, no longer having to endure that mental torment.

However, just after finishing eating, there was a performance, so Lin Ke called everyone to walk outside the castle.

Fulon, hopping all the way, excitedly described to Rica how wonderful and beautiful the upcoming performance would be.

Not only Rica, but even Akel and their servants were drawn in by Fulon’s description.

In the end, everyone arrived at the "Wonderland" while chatting along the way.

Strangely enough, perhaps due to Akel’s approachable nature, or maybe because Akel’s race didn’t resemble the Human Race, Ove surprisingly had a conversation with Akel all the way.

And upon reaching the bustling "Wonderland," their attention was instantly captured by it.

It was simple, noisy, but full of a festive atmosphere, making one involuntarily joyful.

However, as they approached, Rica’s housekeeper Curry instinctively moved closer to Rica, seemingly on guard.

Lin Ke noticed and looked at Ove: "Teacher, I need your help."

In fact, watching a play or concert from the audience seat, especially in the front row, is the most engaging.

But since there were girls around and to avoid those unruly young men, Ove could only use Servant of Truth to build a floor.

Ove nodded slightly, supporting the Thunder Staff with his right hand and raising his left hand. A series of Servants of Truth formed in midair, then assembled together piece by piece.

"Servant of Truth? Lord Ove, are you a member of Material Sanctuary?" Akel exclaimed upon seeing these Servants of Truth.

Material Sanctuary? Lin Ke looked at Akel, then at Ove, with a look of confusion.

"My teacher came from there." Ove shook his head slightly, saying no more.

Upon hearing this, a few inexplicable colors appeared in Akel’s eyes.

And Rica’s tone also had a hint of surprise: "My mother said, my father has a few cronies from there!"

Cronies... Lin Ke clearly saw Ove’s left hand stiffen while summoning Servants of Truth.

He remembered, his teacher indeed seemed to know the Insomnia Emperor.

Could it be referring to Ove as one of the cronies??

Ove felt displeased personally, but Lin Ke found it quite amusing.

Antova also noticed and laughed with Lin Ke to pass over the matter.

Everyone walked into the sky, except for the two housekeepers, Curry and Billy, the other servants remained on the ground.

John had also already gone backstage to prepare for hosting.

During this time, Fulon excitedly introduced today’s program to Rica, holding her hand, while Antova maintained a noble smile as she introduced it to Akel.

Such as the "Coiled Snake Ring," "One Thousand and Two Nights," or "Princess Hui Xue"...

Listening to it left several people quite stunned.

Meanwhile, Lin Ke did not forget to caution that these things were fictional, not real.

Otherwise, if they got too engrossed, it would be troublesome if Akel or Rica went down to intervene in the play’s process.

As they conversed, below, the Servants of Truth dimmed, leaving only a few beams shining on the stage.

John, dressed sharply, walked onto the stage, already wearing a natural smile on his face, and held a microphone enchanted with a sound-enhancing spell.

"Ladies and gentlemen, and the esteemed Princess Rica, Count Akel, good evening!"

John’s voice, full of enthusiasm, immediately ignited the villagers in the theater.

A series of cheers and applause erupted, and this method of applause was also brought down by Lin Ke.

Rica and Akel were suddenly swept up by the emotion, instinctively clapping.

"There’s a princess here today! Our Gula Kingdom’s princess?!"

"Wow! A count! A big figure! Isn’t that more impressive than Young Master Lin Ke!"

"Nonsense! Young Master Lin Ke is the most impressive!"

"I want to see what Princess Rica looks like, prettier than Princess Hui Xue?"

"Of course!"

Amidst the chaotic discussions below, unfortunately, the theater had a roof, and with the electric light of Servants of Truth obstructing, few saw Rica and others above.

Rica’s face was blushing, even showing a bit of shyness.

She revealed two little tiger teeth, glancing at Lin Ke with green eyes: "Is this... is this a performance?"

Is the performance about praising me? Wow, such a strange sensation... Rica felt her face was hot like the brain of a level 20 Thunder Flame Dragon.

"...No, this is just the opening, merely to express welcome to you." Lin Ke was between laughter and tears.

Meanwhile, after finishing his opening words, John had already stepped down.

The lights dimmed, even Lin Ke was somewhat looking forward to today’s opening.

After all... this was Sophie’s first performance following her self-enlightenment.

Sophie did not choose the [Scholar] profession but attempted to take on the [Singer] profession as per Lin Ke’s instructions.

If she succeeded, there would be a new profession emerging on the Naseng Continent.

Therefore, Lin Ke was eagerly anticipating tonight, looking forward to Sophie’s performance.

As the light shone on the girl in the center of the stage, an indescribable aura emanated from her.

It was Sophie!

"Huh? A professional? What kind of professional is this? I haven’t seen it before?" Akel gave a slight exclamation upon seeing Sophie: "No, that’s not it, someone who’s enlightened but hasn’t yet taken up a profession?"

As a [Merchant], one of his traits was keen observation, particularly useful for identifying the status and character of the person in front of him.

"You want this young girl to take up the profession you created, don’t you?" Meanwhile, Rica directly hit the nail on the head.

Lin Ke nodded slightly, admitting it.

"Impossible, don’t even think about it." Rica unexpectedly shook her head, "The professional allocation of a profession involves many aspects, it’s not as simple as you think."
