The Seventieth Birthday

Time is like a sponge; no matter how much you squeeze it, it still doesn't feel as good as Yukiko.

After decades of painstaking seclusion researching magic, Li Yan looked at the piles of research data and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He hadn't figured out the Immortality Magic, but he had managed to research quite a few magic spells that would leave no trace of a person's body after death.

But there were still some gains. After leaving the Li Yan institute, Li Yan had hardly left the Castle in recent years, except for occasionally going out to celebrate an important birthday for Himmel and Heiter.

I did receive a letter from Frieren in the middle of this period. The letter was simple and included a photo. It seemed that she knew Frilian wasn't very good at expressing herself, so her letter was very concise and clear.

[Dear senior brother, I have learned so much magic, everything is fine, and I look forward to surprising you on the day we promised.]

Looking at Frieren, who was making a peace sign with a calm expression in the photo of the letter, Li Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Today must be Himmel's 70th birthday."

Li Yan asked Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue, "These years have been tough for them. They not only have to take care of their daily needs, but also the services they need."

Solitär is far from enough; the most fulfilling thing in life is always a large, full body, not a plain, ordinary lawn.

Aura does have some curves, but it's far from enough. As for Line, she's just a young girl, far from the voluptuousness Li Yan is looking for.

"Yes, young master."

Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue nodded gently. "It's said that many Nobles in the Royal Capital will be attending the banquet. I wonder what Himmel is thinking; he has never married."

Is that so?

Li Yan couldn't help but sigh. As Himmel's father, he had failed miserably, failing to properly urge Himmel to get married.

"And what about Heiter? I remember he promised me decades ago that he would find a good girl."

Li Yan asked him this question. Over the years, he had been so busy that he had only briefly celebrated Heiter and Himmel's birthdays before leaving. He hadn't taken care of these important matters, which was truly a failure.

"Lord Heiter, he's still single, and it's said he has hundreds of girls pursuing him."

Xiao Wu took out her notebook, which contained the names of many girls who had been treated by Heiter, and they all had one-sided love for Heiter.

"Honestly, those two guys just can't give me a break."

Li Yan stood silently in front of the mirror, while Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue helped him tidy up his clothes. He was going to attend Li Yan 'Himmel seventieth birthday banquet in the most standard Noble appearance.

Solitär lay listlessly on the table. Humans love to celebrate birthdays, with a bunch of people gathering together to eat cake. It's all meaningless, just a waste of time. If you want cake, you can just buy it anytime. Why gather a whole bunch of people and have to get all dressed up?

Looking at his young and handsome self in the mirror, Li Yan indifferently picked up his Noble cane and walked out of the room. His mechanical servant led him into the elevator, as he was going to attend a banquet and naturally had to ride in the latest Rolls-Royce Noble version.

Traveling in such a luxury car, it attracted the attention of many adventurers on the road, simply because in the entire Royal Capital, only high-ranking Nobles or Royal Family owned such a vehicle.

They soon arrived at Himmel's Castle. As Li Yan stepped out of the car, many Nobles at the entrance turned their heads to look at her. Li Yan's young and unfamiliar face quickly attracted their attention. After all, it was rare to see a young person riding in a Rolls-Royce Noble version in the entire Royal Capital.

"So handsome!"

"I wonder which family's young master he is."

"A face I've never seen before; I wonder if he's a prince from another country."

The Nobles at the gate were buzzing with discussion. Many of the young Noble were captivated by the man before them the moment they saw Li Yan. His handsomeness was beyond words, his porcelain-white skin was like the purest milk in the world, his eyes were like the most dazzling diamonds, and his natural Noble demeanor seemed to come naturally to him.

Amid the Nobles ' discussion, Li Yan merely smiled faintly. Led by his servants, Li Yan entered the Castle. The elderly Himmel gazed expectantly at the entrance, knowing full well that his Godfather would always visit him on his birthday.

A familiar figure appeared from the doorway. He was so elegant and natural that his mere presence attracted the attention of all the Nobles, including Princess Yaya, the daughter of the current Lionheart King.

Upon seeing his Godfather, Himmel was excitedly about to step forward, but when he saw Li Yan gently shaking his head in his direction, he slowly stopped. He was no longer the passionate young man he once was.

The fact that the host of the banquet, the former hero, suddenly stepped down from the stage and called a young man his Godfather would likely shake the entire Noble circle.

Realizing her Godfather wanted to conceal her identity, Himmel suppressed her excitement and took a small sip of red wine to calm herself.

As Li Yan walked to a private booth in the corner and sat down, many Noble girls came over with wine glasses in hand to strike up a conversation. Li Yan only had a vague understanding of the topics these young Noble girls were discussing, but she still chatted with them in a friendly manner.

Seeing her Godfather chatting with young Noble, Himmel paused slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"Himmel, I'm late."

At the entrance, Heiter's gentle voice came. Himmel, who was sitting in the main seat of the banquet, showed a hint of joy and got up to go to the door to greet Heiter's arrival. Looking at Heiter, her best friend who had grown up with her, Himmel raised her fist and bumped fists with him.

"I've heard that our Archbishop of Heiter has been very busy lately."

Himmel patted Heiter on the back lightly, teasingly.

"Himmel, you're not bad either. I heard you recently killed another dragon."

Heiter laughed and patted Himmel on the shoulder.

"Dragons are nothing! I can even kill Greater Demons!"

Himmel took Heiter's hand and walked towards the head seat, occasionally winking at Heiter to look at Li Yan, who was surrounded by Noble girls in a corner booth.

"Wow, which young master is so popular with the Noble ladies of the Royal Capital? You know they're all incredibly picky."

Heiter stroked his beard and laughed heartily, clearly unaware that the person surrounded by the Noble ladies was his most beloved Godfather.

"Ahem, look more closely!"

Himmel coughed, urging Heiter to carefully observe the other's appearance. Seeing Himmel's serious demeanor, Heiter couldn't help but scrutinize the young man surrounded by the Noble ladies.

"Holy crap! My dad!"

The Priest stared wide-eyed, clearly unable to believe that the man surrounded by Noble ladies was his father.

Shh! Godfather doesn't want us to reveal his identity!

Himmel whispered a warning, Heiter quickly covered his mouth. He didn't want to anger his Godfather, after all, it was enough to make the whole Kingdom boil over if he and Himmel called a young man "father" in public.
