Chapter 587 - The Great Magic Casters’ Performance
“Crack…” Narson took a bite of his mooncake as he walked away, upon which his footsteps immediately faltered. He stared at the mooncake with incredulity in his eyes, and the more he chewed, the more delicious the flavor in his mouth became. Such a delectable food item was simply irresistible.
How can this mooncake possibly be this delicious?! After swallowing the mouthful of mooncake, Narson still wore a stunned look on his face. He couldn’t help but take another bite, and the more he ate, the more he wanted to eat.
Surely even the chefs from the Roth Empire’s royal palace won’t be able to make such a delicious food item. That guy’s hands don’t have any callouses from sword training, nor does he even have a scar. Looks like he bears no resemblance to Alex whatsoever. Narson slowly walked away as he thought to himself, Most importantly, there’s no way that Alex would become a chef, nor would it be possible for him to become such an exceptional one.
However, it’s best to verify this for myself. That little half-elf girl is just at the right age; perhaps I’ll be able to get some useful information out of her. Narson took a glance at Amy, who was happily playing with her little friends, before slinking away into the shadows.
After the mooncakes were distributed, everyone had received two mooncakes, and they all wore joyful expressions on their faces. Dining on delicious mooncakes and engaging in moon-viewing with their family and friends helped them gain a deeper understanding of the reunion element of the moon festival celebration.
However, the conflict between the newly established mooncake flavor factions was only becoming more and more heated. Among them, the five kernel faction was undoubtedly the public enemy, and they received the most abuse by far.
However, the five kernel mooncake had a group of very loyal advocators that defended it with their lives.
Mag looked at the remaining mooncakes in the baskets, then at the mooncake gift boxes he had prepared earlier, and he smiled as he took the stage again. “Was everyone pleased with today’s mooncakes?”
“We sure were!”
“Those mooncakes were delicious! I didn’t have anywhere near enough. Boss Mag, is this a new product you’re releasing? Would I be able to order it at your restaurant tomorrow?”
“Yeah, I really want some more too!”
A chorus of voices supporting this notion immediately rang out from below the stage.
“I’m glad that everyone was happy with the mooncakes. This is not a new product that I’m going to release. I made it exclusively for this year’s moon festival. If you’d like to have some more, you’d have to wait until next year.” Mag shook his head in response, which was met by a chorus of dejected sighs. He smiled, and continued, “However, I have an opportunity that I’d like to present to everyone. I have these gift boxes here filled with eight mooncakes each, one of each flavor. If anyone is willing to come onstage and perform something, you can take home a gift box of mooncakes to share with your family and friends.”
All of the customers’ eyes lit up upon hearing that. A gift box filled with one mooncake of each flavor was a very tempting prospect, but performing onstage in front of so many people was quite a daunting and foreign task. It was very nerve-racking to perform something in front of close to 2,000 people.
“Boss, these mooncakes are so delicious. How about we give a performance?” Mond turned to Sargeras with a hopeful expression.
“I think that’s a good idea. I haven’t had anywhere near enough mooncakes.” Kiel nodded in agreement along with all of the other lava demons.
“What are we going to perform? I’m good in a battle, but what am I going to do onstage? Dance? If any of you can dance, then be my guest; I’m tapping out on this one.” Sargeras was also very tempted by the reward being offered, but he knew his own limitations.
“This…”
The demons all fell silent upon hearing that. Indeed, all of them were very proficient at hunting and battling, but performing a dance onstage was beyond their capabilities.
“If no one wants to go, then I’ll take the lead.” Krassu’s voice sounded as he walked onto the stage with his staff.
“Great Magic Caster Krassu!”
“I’ve never seen a performance from a great magic caster before. As expected, coming here tonight really was worth it!”

“What’s Master Krassu going to perform, though? A dance?”
Everyone immediately burst into a frenzy. No one expected that Krassu would be the first person to take the stage. This was a performance to look forward to.
“Master Krassu? Why is he here?” Louis was a little perplexed as he looked at Krassu. This legendary great magic caster was a very renowned figure in the Roth Empire. Furthermore, his melee magic fighting style and bravery in battle drew him many fans even among knights.
“Great Magic Caster Krassu!” Narson was also stunned to see Krassu. There was no lack of Magus Tower magic casters among the Black Falcons. As such, he knew quite a bit about Krassu. He was a great magic caster who’d once stood at the pinnacle of the magic world in the entire Roth Empire. Who would have thought that he would be attending the celebration tonight? Furthermore, he was giving a performance onstage just for a box of mooncakes? If the people in Rodu were to hear about this, their jaws would drop to the ground!
Does this restaurant owner have some sort of powerful background? Narson turned to appraise Mag with a hesitant and wary expression.
“My master is super strong; his performance must be really good to watch.” Amy was playing with her little friends, but she immediately turned her attention to Krass as he got onto the stage.
All of her friends’ eyes lit up upon hearing that. They also turned to Krassu with an inquisitive light in their eyes, wondering what he was going to perform.
“I’m not as good a dancer as Little Amy, but I know a thing or two about magic.” Krassu smiled as he gently raised his right hand. A reddish-golden fireball rose into the sky like a golden egg before splitting open, upon which a miniature flaming phoenix emerged from within.
The phoenix circled around Krassu a couple of times before flapping its wings and rising into the sky. Its stature began to swell drastically as it spread open its lithe and majestic wings. Reddish-golden light began to shimmer along its long tail, and it had expanded to become a phoenix around five or six meters in length in the blink of an eye. It flew high into the sky before abruptly descending, nosediving sharply until it was less than a meter away from the people down below before rising into the sky again. A wave of scorching heat surged forth as everyone burst into raucous cheers again, creating an electric atmosphere.
