Li Du had not expected to receive such a pleasant surprise. He had thought that the Royal Danish cigars in the storage unit would be worth some money. After all, they had gold foil and crystal on them.
In the end, the humidor box was even more valuable!
Sayder also told them that besides these two boxes, the other eight boxes were also valuable. Although they were not limited edition commemorative items, they were luxury items produced by Dunhill.
"These eight boxes can be sold for at least 20,000 dollars. Each box is worth at least 2,500 dollars. They are products designed by a master and are made of real cedar wood."
Sayder told the two of them.
In the end, Li Du still gave him a cigar. Sayder had given them a lot of useful information, which had greatly increased their income.
Hans was in charge of handling the giant gun, cigar, and cigar boxes. He could prepare for the upcoming Michaelmas celebration.
On September 29, in the middle of autumn, Michaelmas began.
This festival was a celebration of the harvest. Now, the farms and pastures were all golden. Crops were being harvested, and fruits were hanging on the branches.
Flagstaff was a small city, but it was usually small places that worked hard to celebrate such festivals.
On the morning of September 29, the city government first organized a parade. The celebration parade lasted until noon, and in the afternoon, various activities were held in the city square.
Sophie deliberately went to work the night shift earlier. This way, she could get 36 hours of rest and participate in the festivities during the day.
In the morning, Li Du, the ocelot, the raccoon, and the puppy accompanied Sophie to the city square. The parade would start there, and eventually return.
The parade was very grand. A stage was set up in the middle of the square. When Li Du and the others arrived, the mayor and the council members were reading scripts next to the stage.
The two of them went to the stage to take pictures. Mayor Thompson Thoman nodded to them in a friendly manner and smiled. "Welcome, welcome. I hope you have a good time today."
Sophie smiled. "Definitely. I have a lot of fun every harvest festival, especially the Golden Man Auction. I wonder who will be chosen to go on stage this year."
Mayor Thompson sighed. "Anyway, it won't be me. I'm already married. To be honest, it's a really good experience. If you want to enjoy it, you have to seize the opportunity."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Du. The latter was confused, not understanding what he meant.
The mayor was very busy, and greeting them was already giving them face.
After sighing, Mayor Thompson took the draft and left. Li Du said, "The mayor is really a nice person. I was just hesitating to say hello to him."
"Of course. Mayor Toman is an expert in politics. He knows how to win the hearts of the voters. He's always been good at this kind of thing."
Li Du smiled. "Do you have to say that? By the way, what did he mean by that? Why do I feel like he's talking to me? "
Sophie pursed her lips and chuckled. "No, you misunderstood. Ah, the demonstration is about to start. Let's go."
The Autumn Harvest Parade was a bit like a Halloween party. It was a make-up parade. Everyone would wear masks or put on makeup. Of course, there were no strict requirements.
Sophie had prepared the mask and equipment for Li Du. She opened her bag and took them out. She giggled and said, "Here, put it on, Mr. Druid."
"Druid?" Li Du asked curiously.
Sophie nodded and said, "Yes, quickly put it on and carry Ah Ow. When the time comes, let Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles follow behind you. Isn't that a Druid?"
Li Du said awkwardly, "Is this appropriate?"
He had played games like Diablo and World of Warcraft in high school and university, so he knew the meaning of Druid.
The word Druid originated from Greek. In Greek mythology, it referred to the goddess of the forest. Legend had it that every oak tree was inhabited by elves. These elves could communicate with humans and were highly respected.
However, he was a man!
Sophie heard his explanation and waved her hand. "No, no, no. What you said was made up by the game company. In fact, Druids are advocates of nature and neutrality. They are hermits who treat the whole world as their home. They use their special powers to protect nature and bring balance to the whole world."
Li Du saw that she was in high spirits and changed into the equipment she had brought. There was a mask with a long white beard and a green cloak.
Sophie had even prepared a green hat, which Li Du firmly rejected!
After Mr. Li changed, it was Sophie's turn.
The female doctor wore a bear's head. Her slender body and the hideous mask looked a little out of place, but it was also very interesting.
Li Du was shocked. "You're using this?"
Sophie said, "Yes, I'm your giant bear guard. Every Druid has a fierce beast as a companion. I'm your companion."
The parade was about to begin. Li Du carried Ah Ow and joined the crowd with Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles.
The people around them were curious to see the nimble ocelot and the vigorous raccoon. Most of them gave Li Du a thumbs up. "Excellent Druid."
After being praised so many times, Li Du was also a little happy. He felt that the outfit was really good.
The group of people lined up and set off along the road. The parade was not too far, about two kilometers. The pace was very slow, and the focus was on interaction.
On the roadside, people carried baskets of food and distributed it to them. There were roasted wheat, roasted corn, steamed corn, all kinds of fruits, home-brewed yogurt, and so on.
Li Du walked in the middle of the crowd and did not have a chance to grab anything. It was Crispy Noodles' turn to show off his ability.
The raccoon's front paws had the ability to grab things. It quickly ran to the roadside, raised its head, stretched out its front paws, and used its two powerful hind legs to support its body. It looked pitifully at the farmer who was giving out food.
Seeing this, the farmer laughed and handed a plum to Crispy Noodles. Crispy Noodles used its paws to hold it in its pocket, and continued to stretch out its paws pitifully.
Both it and Ah Meow had clothes, and Li Du had bought them early on.
This was to make them look more anthropomorphic, cuter, and fun. Otherwise, to prevent animals from defecating, some storage units did not allow pets to be brought in.
Li Du had to slow down as Crispy Noodles left. Sophie looked around anxiously and said, "Crispy Noodles, Crispy Noodles, come back quickly."
Li Du was tall and saw the direction the little guy was running in. He said, "Don't worry, he went to look for a present for you."
After a while, Crispy Noodles ran and hopped back on three legs, its remaining front paws holding the pockets of its little clothes.
Seeing this, many people around raised their cameras.
However, Crispy Noodles thought that they were going to snatch its food, so it stood up cautiously with its hind legs and its two front paws covering the small pockets in front of its chest.
This way, there were even more people taking pictures.
