After the appearance of His Holiness the Pope, as usual, holy light enveloped the entire city. Hymns filled the sky, and the pilgrims knelt on the ground devoutly, offering their faith in the direction of the Church of Light.
The huge Wings of Light fluttered slowly in the sky, and feathers with the power of Holy Light fell from the sky. The warm power of Holy Light healed the pain of the people, and at the same time, severely punished the evil believers hiding in the darkness.
The residents of Alinx turned a blind eye to the mournful screams on the streets.
They had long been used to this situation. Every year during the Ceremony of Light, there would always be some people who did not believe in heresy who would try to break into this sacred city to fish in troubled waters.
However, the Pope's Wings of Light would make it impossible for them to hide.
With the help of the Ghost Agents this year, those evil believers with ulterior motives did not even have a chance to do anything. They were all caught.
Although the Dark Serpent had been destroyed, there were still many who escaped. The Radiant Church had always been looking for those people, and there were still many small cults that still existed. Therefore, they could always catch a lot of evil believers every year.
Olina and Aurelia were very experienced, so they had already made arrangements early on. They would definitely not affect the Ceremony of Light.
However, the charity events of previous years were canceled because Victor was too poor, so they could only hold charity events. When it came to the rich Tang En, he directly changed it into a charity event. On this day, the municipal service staff would represent the royal family to go to the slums to express their condolences and give out comforts such as blankets, clothes, and food.
This charity event alone cost Tang En hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
However, this was also valuable because the comforts were all branded with the Datang Chamber of Commerce's trademark. The Datang Chamber of Commerce could use this opportunity to become more well-known in society.
After the Pope's speech, it was Saintess Eluri's turn, followed by Princess Aurelia's. When they were done, Fiona, as the representative of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, also came forward to deliver a congratulatory speech.
In such a situation, the effect of appearing was very powerful. At this moment, appearing in the projection spell was equivalent to appearing on the Central TV Spring Festival Gala, and the Datang Chamber of Commerce was the biggest advertising sponsor.
Fiona didn't take this opportunity to advertise. She just revealed her identity and sent her blessings.
This was because she knew very well that excessive and explicit advertising would arouse the disgust of people. Sending only blessings would instead gain the favor of people.
Her guess was right. After this opening ceremony, people had a deeper impression of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, in the following lively activities, the area around the Alinx branch of the Datang Chamber of Commerce was especially lively.
On one hand, it was because the Datang Chamber of Commerce held a new product launch today and released many new convenient magic-powered furniture. On the other hand, it was because of the very attractive activities.
Last year, the Datang Chamber of Commerce's activities gave away magic-powered air conditioners, magic-powered refrigerators, magic-powered washing machines, and bicycles. This year, the prizes were directly upgraded.
A chubby local businessman squeezed his way to the front of the stage. He couldn't wait to know what the mysterious special prize was. When he saw it clearly, he suddenly gasped and shouted in shock, "Gods above! The special prize is the magic-powered mobile phone 'Balance'! Am I seeing things?! "
A man beside him asked curiously, "Magic-Powered mobile phone Balance? What's that? "
"You don't know?! It's the magic-powered mobile phone that has been the talk of the nobles recently! It's said that only the big nobles and big businessmen have a treasure! You can talk to another person who has a magic-powered mobile phone over a very long distance! "
"Hiss!"
The outsider gasped. "There's such a magical thing!? This is the first time I've heard of it! "
"You must be from a very remote place, right?"
"Yes, my hometown is Taquila in the northwest. This time, I want to buy a batch of bicycles to sell."
"Taquila? I think it's a border city in Taris? Ha, bicycles are already outdated! See, the first prize, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle! That's what a real warrior should ride! "
"Harley-Davidson motorcycle!? What's that!? "
"It's a type of vehicle that doesn't need to be pedaled. As long as it consumes magic crystals, it can carry you. Heh, you don't know, right? I was lucky enough to ride it once. That feeling, tsk tsk, it's smooth, stable, and fast. It's so much better than riding a horse! "
"Compared to a bicycle?"
"Sigh, although a bicycle is convenient, it can't go far. It's too tiring! A Harley-Davidson motorcycle is very comfortable! It can also be modified to transport goods. It's more convenient. "
The businessman from Taquila was tempted.
"Compared to the limited special prize or first prize, I'm more interested in the participation prize. I was lucky enough to get a bicycle for last year's participation prize. It would be great if I could get something good this year."
The chubby businessman looked for the participation prize as he spoke. A moment later, his eyes lit up as he pointed at the poster behind the counter in disbelief. His lips trembled as he said, "I, I didn't see wrongly, did I?!"
On the poster was written, "Participation Prize: One Magic-Powered Mobile Phone with a free call fee of one gold coin."
Magic-Powered Mobile Phone. Wasn't that a treasure that only great nobles and merchants owned?! How could it be a participation prize?!
Looking closely, there were two words behind the Magic-Powered Mobile Phone.
Wheat?
The Magic-Powered Mobile Phone that great nobles and merchants were talking about was called 'Balance', right?
Could it be … that this was another type?
Whether it was or not, the chubby businessman was so excited that his whole body trembled. In any case, he had to find a way to get one today!
If he could get a Magic-Powered Mobile Phone that everyone coveted, wouldn't he have a lot of face in front of his peers in the future? He could even have a common topic with many merchants who already had Magic-Powered Mobile Phones. Perhaps he could get in touch with them!
With that in mind, the chubby businessman immediately squeezed his way to the registration area. Unexpectedly, he was already too late. Many people had already queued up before him.
After asking around, the chubby businessman was dumbfounded to find that those people did not even look at the prizes and had already queued up. By the time he got there, there were already hundreds of people in front of him. .
Because they all knew that the prizes given out by the Datang Chamber of Commerce last year were all good stuff, they came early to queue up when they heard that there was an event this year.
Naturally, the chubby businessman could only queue at the back.
Standing on the second floor of the shop and looking down at the bustling crowd below, Tang En showed a satisfied smile. He asked Hilton who was beside him, "With the situation today, how much do you expect the sales to reach?"
"Your Majesty," Hilton said confidently, "the whole day of the event will bring in at least four million gold coins in sales. On average, the total sales in seven days of the Glorious Festival will reach thirty million gold coins. It's almost the sales of the entire month."
Thirty million gold coins in seven days. After deducting the various operating costs, the net profit would reach more than twenty million gold coins. A profit margin of almost two hundred percent. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a business?
But there was nothing they could do about it. Only Tang En could do this business.
Just as Tang En and the others were admiring the lively event in Alinx, Fiona's phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and after hearing a few words, her expression suddenly became very strange. "You're not kidding? … Alright, I got it. We'll go back now. "
"What's wrong?" Tang En asked.
After Fiona hung up the phone, she said to Tang En with a strange expression, "Ellington's mansion has been burgled …"
That's right, the great Regent Tang En's hometown, Ellington's mansion, had been burgled.
As soon as she said this, not only was Tang En stunned, but the others were also dumbfounded.
What kind of joke was this?
That was Ellington's mansion!
The security measures were very strict. How could there be a burglar?!
Tang En was dumbfounded. "Are you sure you're not kidding?"
"I asked the same thing, but Brian obviously wasn't joking … By the way, where's your phone? Brian said he couldn't get through. "
"Couldn't get through? … Oh, I put it in my Dimensional Pocket. "
Tang En patted his forehead and took out his phone.
"What should we do?"
Fiona looked at the event below and said, "We haven't seen the event venue at the championship duel yet. Why don't you stay? I'll go back and deal with it."
Tang En thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. It's the same if I don't go there. Anyway, we already have experience. Let's go back together. I want to see who is so capable to steal from me."
So Tang En and Fiona temporarily bid farewell to the others. After explaining to Aurelia and the others, they returned to Ellington.
When they returned to the Lord's mansion, Tang En was surprised to find that not only Brian, but also Sasaglot, Dicarios, Estisa, and Azochamanda were also present.
A group of people was surrounding the thief in the middle with great interest. It was as if they had encountered something new and came to join in the fun.
"What's the situation?"
Tang En asked with a stunned expression, "Why are there so many people?"
"Why are there so many people?"
Brian looked at Tang En with a strange expression. "Big Brother, you should be more careful. If it weren't for His Excellency Sasha Glott, I reckon your treasury would have been emptied by her."
How is this possible?
Tang En's expression was strange. The treasury of the Lord's mansion was reinforced by his magic array. It was impossible for ordinary people to break in.
"You're the Lord here?"
The thief in the middle didn't seem to be nervous. Instead, she looked at Tang En with a curious expression. "You're dressed like those nobles. You really are scum."
What the hell!?
Tang En's face suddenly darkened.
