Chapter 112: Dekan's Righteous Declaration

At noon, Tristin City was filled with anticipatory discussions everywhere.

The streets exuded a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, and various attractions were bustling with crowds as if New Year had arrived early.

Many residents with leisure time at noon gathered at places with magic screens to watch the official start of the press conference today.

Various locations equipped with magic screens had increased security forces and members of the knight order stationed.

"Dong... Dong..."

The clock tower rang the hourly chime.

The twelve chimes were precise and resonant, filled with a sense of rhythmic beauty.

On the screen, the images had started to change, displaying:

"Tristin City & Rejoice Group Collaboration Project!"

Subsequently, the text and graphic images shifted to a real scene.

A broadway-style talk-show lounge appeared before the audience.

Viscount Lampard of Tristin City was sitting on one side of the sofa, while the other side's smaller sofa remained temporarily vacant.

Clearly, it was waiting for the key figure of today's announcement, that mysterious guest's appearance.

The citizens watching were whispering to each other, their expressions filled with confusion.

"Rejoice Group?"

Clearly, no one had heard of such an organization. But the name sounded quite cheerful. It should be a legitimate organization.

Viscount Lampard smiled and looked at the camera. "Good afternoon, dear citizens. I'm glad you can watch today's press conference. I believe I don't need to introduce myself too much. Let's quickly start today's presentation."

The lord picked up a document on the table, and the smile on his face became even more pronounced.

"Firstly, I want to officially announce to everyone that Tristin City will become the only city-state in the world to have two special class card makers!"

After saying this, the corners of his mouth lifted, seemingly unable to contain his joy.

Meanwhile, the contents of the document were displayed on the screen.

It was the agreement signed by Dekan and Viscount Lampard!

The entire city instantly erupted with excitement!

The discussions coming from magic screens everywhere seemed to blend and mix in the city's airspace.

"What's going on?"

"Besides Lady Ice Princess, which other special class card maker is there?"

"...Could it be that newly promoted quasi-special class card maker, Dekan?"

"It must be him! Regardless of whether special class card makers from foreign countries would come to Tristin City, other nations would never allow their special class card makers to join the Norton Kingdom!"

"Oh my, two special classes..."

People couldn't help but discuss this piece of news that was about to have a huge impact on their city life.

The residency of a special class card maker was significantly associated with the city's prestige. For Tristin City, the fame brought by Lady Ice Princess even surpassed the city's inherent reputation as the "Magic Metropolis."

This kind of fame would have a tremendous positive impact on the city's economy and development.

Having two special classes was an unpredictable concept!

Tristin City would become the only city in the world resided by two special class card makers!

In the future, even when people mentioned the Norton Kingdom in other countries, they would probably think of Tristin City first instead of the capital, Hevenlit City.

Although there were other countries in the world with multiple special class card makers, the residences of special class card makers were not in the same city as it gave a feeling of a place being too small for two tigers.

Originally, everyone thought Dekan's residence would be in the capital, or perhaps, with a very slim chance, in the main city of his homeland, the borderlands of Kuran.

However, to everyone's surprise, Dekan decisively chose Tristin City!

While this was undoubtedly a great joy for the city and its lord, it might not necessarily be a good thing for the card makers.

It could lead to competition and various troubles.

However, upon careful consideration, Dekan and Lady Ice Princess had completely different card making styles and there wouldn't be much competition in terms of market and resources.

As long as Dekan didn't mind being frequently compared to a tier 8 special class card maker, there wouldn't be any issues.

No wonder the lord looked so happy today.

The lord continued, "I'm sure many of you have guessed by now; the special class card maker who will be residing in Tristin City is Mr. Dekan."

"Perhaps many residents have heard about Mr. Dekan's miraculous journey through the Shadow Worlds and his uniquely styled magic cards."

"However, after obtaining the qualification of a special class card maker, Mr. Dekan has never officially sold the magic cards he created."

"And today's first announcement of the press conference is about this! The Rejoice Group, to which Mr. Dekan belongs, will also establish its headquarters in Tristin City. It will be the exclusive distribution channel for the special class card maker Mr. Dekan!"

"Without further ado, let us welcome Mr. Dekan!"

With the final sentence of the upbeat tone, the lord extended his hand towards the backstage.

With cheerful jazz music playing, Dekan walked out from behind a door, waving gracefully to the audience in front of the screen.

Dekan was wearing the same outfit he had worn in the morning when attending the special class card maker review at Tristin Academy.

Of course, this look was prepared specifically for today's press conference.

"Oh my, is he also a half-elf like Lady Ice Princess? Do special class card makers all look this extraordinary?"

"He looks so bright when he smiles! Ah, my heart is melting."

Suddenly, a girl in front of the screen exclaimed, her eyes filled with fascination.

Of course, she was not the only one. There were women of various ages, and even some men.

"I really want to...," one person muttered.

"Compared to being a half-elf, there's probably a higher chance he's a half-demon..."

While the audience in front of the screen was discussing excitedly, Dekan also took a seat on the other small sofa near the Lord.

This press conference was about to enter its crucial content.

With a confident smile on his face, Dekan looked into the camera and began speaking, "Hello, everyone. I'm Dekan. I am delighted to become a part of Tristin City. I will hold myself to high standards, set an example, and create a friendly and civilized city for all. The responsibility lies with all of us..."

For most residents, Dekan's opening statement didn't evoke much reaction. It was a typical and ordinary greeting.

However, among the ordinary crowd, the followers of the Resurgence Church felt like they had a fishbone stuck in their throat. They wanted to say something but didn't know who to complain to.

How dare he say such things!

And with such a calm expression!

After introducing himself, Dekan proceeded to introduce the Rejoice Group.

"The Rejoice Group, with a long-term vision, honest and legal principles, and a philosophy of mutual growth, seek to develop the company's profitable charity projects..."

"We adhere to the 'customer-first' philosophy, starting from creating smiles and happiness for customers, thus enhancing the company's value, and at the same time promoting the prosperity of city civilization..."

"Our goal is to grow together with all partners, share the value of growth, and never forget to care for and give back to customers. We lead by example and promote the healthy development of the card making industry, magical engineering, and idol projects..."

"By becoming a Joy Club member, you will be provided with the most prestigious experience..."
