Li Du hadn't realized he'd be so surprised by the price. He'd expected the Royal Danish Cigars to be worth some money. After all, they had gold foil and crystals on them.

It turned out that the cigar humidors were even more valuable!

Sayder also told them that in addition to these two boxes, the other eight boxes were also valuable. Though they were not commemorative, limited-edition humidors, they were still Dunhill's luxury products.

”These eight boxes can be sold for 20,000 dollars,” said Sayder. ”Each box is worth at least 2,500 dollars. These masterpieces were made using real cedar wood.”

Mr. Li gave him a cigar as thanks. Sayder had told them useful information that would boost their income.

Hans was left in charge of the matters regarding the giant gun and the cigar boxes while he got ready to take part in the upcoming Michaelmas.

By September 29th it was fully-fledged autumn. Celebrations for Michaelmas began.

Michaelmas was a celebration of the autumn harvest. During this period, one could see that all the farmland was a golden hue. Farmers were busy harvesting their crops and the big, ripe fruits hanging from various fruit trees.

Flagstaff was small, but usually small places like this put more effort into celebrating such festivals.

On the morning of September 29th the city organized a parade that would last until noon. This was followed by various activities in the massive city square during the afternoon.

Sophie had deliberately worked a night shift so that she could enjoy a 36-hour break and enjoy the festivities during the day.

In the morning, Li Du accompanied Sophie to the city square with his ocelot, raccoon and little puppy. The parade would begin here, make a tour around the city and return to the square again.

The parade was very grand. There was a stage set up in the center of the city square for performances. When Li Du and Sophie arrived, the mayor and members of the city council stood at the side of the stage holding some papers.

Both of them went to the stage to take some pictures. Mayor Thompson Thoman nodded at them in a friendly manner and laughed, ”Welcome both of you. I hope you enjoy yourselves today.”

”Certainly,” smiled Sophie. ”I've enjoyed every autumn harvest festival—I especially enjoy the Golden Bachelor auction. I wonder who will be chosen to go on stage this year?”

”It won't be me,” Mayor Thompson sighed. ”I'm married. But frankly, it's a very good experience. If you want to enjoy it, you must seize the opportunity.”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Du, who had a puzzled look on his face.

The mayor was a busy man. It was considered polite of him to greet the two of them.

After Mayor Thompson left, Li Du remarked, ”The mayor is really nice. I was hesitant to say hello to him earlier.”

”Of course, the mayor's good in politics,” said Sophie. ”He's good with people and knows how to capture voters' hearts.”

”Is there a need to put it that way?” laughed Li Du. ”By the way, what did he mean just now? Why do I feel like he was saying that specifically to me?”

”No,” Sophie chuckled, ”I don't think so. Oh, the parade's about to start. Let's go over now.”

The autumn harvest parade was similar to Halloween. They wore costumes, masks, and makeup. Obviously none of this was required to attend.

Sophie had prepared a costume and mask for Li Du. She opened her bag and handed the costume to Li, giggling, ”Come, put it on, Mr. Druid.”

”Dryad?” A baffled Li Du asked.

Sophie nodded and said, ”Yes, put it on quick and carry Ah Ow in your arms. With Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles following behind you, don't you look like a druid?”
