Come to another world and become a lord

In the spacious banquet hall of Rick Castle, Selena's birthday dinner was held as scheduled. The bright lights and melodious music intertwined to create a solemn and cheerful atmosphere for the party. The guests, dressed in gorgeous dresses, walked into the hall one after another, and everyone's face was filled with joy and expectation.

The first to enter was naturally Myrna, the girl proudly holding Alia's arm. The two girls were stunningly beautiful, and had both changed into luxurious evening gowns. Their mere appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, except Carl.

At this moment, Carl no longer cared about how dazzling the two beauties were. His attention was completely focused on the important members of the merchant group present, and his eyes almost glowed.

Edmund Baker, the president of the Golden Feather Chamber of Commerce, is a middle-aged man with a slightly sturdy figure. He always wears elegant clothes and has his hair combed meticulously. As one of the first guests to arrive, his appearance also attracted the attention of some people, who looked at him with respect. He also smiled and nodded to the people around him.

Then, Katerine Greenwood from the Emerald Bay Trade Union also appeared elegantly at the entrance of the hall. Her graceful figure was like a red flower blooming in spring, completely different from Myrna and Alia. She exuded the special charm of a mature woman, adding a different flavor to the banquet. It even caused a whisper of discussion among the men. Of course, compared with her beauty, her business achievements and intelligence were more talked about.

Next came Goswin Hammer of the Hammer Trade Group, a bearded man who strode into the hall with a bulging belly. His short but broad body and majestic aura made people around him unconsciously make way for him. This unique image even made Carl unconsciously think of the dwarves in fantasy stories. In fact, he didn't know if there were dwarves in this world. If there were, then the guy in front of him must have dwarf blood.

Finally, Emilio Starr of Star Business Road walked into the banquet with his unique ease and confidence. He was young and full of energy, with a delicate face that made it hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He walked lightly and was tall and thin. As soon as he appeared, he blended perfectly with the atmosphere of the banquet. He looked a bit like an elf, and what surprised Carl was that this guy's ears were really long and pointed like the elves in the story.

Carl found the two men interesting, so he couldn't help but tell this to Alia, but he didn't expect Alia to suddenly say to him:

"Goswin is indeed a dwarf~"

"What?" When Carl heard this, his eyes almost widened in surprise.

"The Iron Hammer Trading Group mainly engages in the resale of goods between humans and dwarves, selling the dwarves' unique handicrafts to the human world in exchange for food and daily necessities." Alia replied.

"So, there really are dwarves in this world?" Carl showed an incredible expression again.

Mirna on the side made a disdainful sound:

"Are you an idiot? You don't even know if there are dwarves."

"But no one ever told me since I was a child~" Carl looked aggrieved.

"Serfs are serfs, they are ignorant." said Myrna.

"But it's not surprising that they don't know. After all, they rarely move around in the human world." Alia tried to smooth things over.

"Wait," Carl suddenly thought of something and continued, "Then, could that Emilio be an elf as well?"

"He's a half-elf," Alia answered. "Half human, half elf, which allows him to blend into human society. True pure-blooded elves are very exclusive and have no contact with outsiders. Even their cities are well hidden and cannot be discovered at all."

Milna added:

"Although the Iron Hammer Trade Group and the Star Trade Route are not as large-scale as the first two chambers of commerce, they are indeed the only way for humans to communicate and trade with the two alien races. In a sense, they are not only merchants but also responsible for diplomatic work. Their status in the kingdom is also extremely high. You'd better remember this."

"Hmm~" Carl nodded humbly. Indeed, if one were not at the level of the prime minister's daughter, he would probably never come into contact with this kind of information and this kind of person in his lifetime. In this regard, Milena really helped him so much that he could completely ignore her arrogant attitude.

As these business heavyweights arrived one after another, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually heated up.

What really brought the banquet to its climax was the appearance of the protagonist. As the band's melody suddenly turned into a soft and solemn introductory song, all the whispers and discussions gradually subsided, and the guests' eyes turned to the entrance of the hall. Then, a figure slowly walked into the sight, like a goddess under the moon, and the atmosphere of the whole scene reached a climax.

Selena, the daughter of Baron Henry, walked slowly into the hall in an exquisite evening gown. Her long dress seemed to be woven from the night sky, with silver stars dotted on the dark blue fabric. The hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, as if whispering the secrets of the stars. Her waist was cleverly outlined by the dress, showing her elegant figure.

Her face is like a finely crafted work of art, with delicate and harmonious features, and a pair of bright eyes that sparkle with intelligence and tenderness, as if they can see through people's hearts. Her long golden hair is cleverly coiled on top of her head, with a few soft strands of hair falling from time to time, brushing against her swan neck and fair skin.

When Selena walked into the center of the hall, her appearance was like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention. The banquet also reached its climax because of this moment, and one guest after another stood up, holding exquisite gift boxes, and came to present gifts and blessings to this distinguished lady.

First came Edmund Baker, the president of the Golden Feather Chamber of Commerce. He stepped forward, holding a richly decorated wooden gift box in his hands. He gently opened it, revealing a fine bracelet inlaid with pearls and gemstones, which was dazzling. He bowed, praised Selena's beauty, and wished her to be as flawless as pearls and as bright as gemstones.

Then, Katerine Greenwood, the president of the Emerald Bay Trade Union, stepped forward gracefully and handed over a beautiful painting depicting a foreign country. As a chamber of commerce for maritime trade, they can always get different rare treasures from all over the world. The landscape in the painting is poetic, flowers are in full bloom, and the scene is lifelike, as if you are there.

The president of the Hammer Trade Group, Goswin Hammer, brought a set of steel-cast swords and shields? This was probably the weirdest gift Carl had ever seen. The swords and shields looked plain and unremarkable, but experts knew the value of them. They were truly good goods, high-quality weapons made of high-quality steel, and their craftsmanship surpassed the level of humans in this world. Although the gift was weird, Selena took it without hesitation and gave a sincere smile. When Carl saw her holding the swords and shields and staggering to hand them to the servants behind her, he even felt a little distressed.

The last one to come was the president of the Star Trade Route, the young Emilio Starr. When Goswin came down, he snorted disdainfully, then walked forward with his gift. It was a natural emerald stone, a unique item of the elves, strung together into a necklace with a simple rope. In the dim hall, it even emitted a faint fluorescence, which was extremely unique.

The guests presented their carefully selected gifts one after another. Although each gift was very valuable, they were common things in the world after all. When everyone had given their gifts and only Carl was left, he understood that the truly important moment had come. All the previous arrangements and planning were for this moment. Success depended on this one move.
