Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1031

"Me? Together?"

For Xia Duo's invitation, Niya was very happy at first, her brows and eyes were full of joy, but soon, she seemed to think of something, and after hesitating for a while, she finally refused.

Xia Duo was a little surprised by Niya's refusal, and his first reaction was, "What's wrong? Are you worried that you won't be allowed to bring family members at the dinner party?"

"No, it's not this." Niya shook her head quickly, "Didn't you say that after Master Byron came back, the overall situation at Severton would be settled? There is no need to make a special trip now, the teacher still asked me to stay What about the southern border!"

"Really?"

Xia Duo looked into Niya's eyes, as if he wanted to see something. In fact, when he just said that Niya was worried that she would not be allowed to bring her family members at the dinner party, he had some reactions.

Listening to Niya's lame reason now, Xia Duo couldn't help but curl his lips, and then said: "If you don't want to go to the dinner party, don't go, but when conducting the magic net background fluctuation experiment, you must pay attention to the limit."

"Ah? You know?" Niya blushed slightly, and began to avoid her husband's sight.

Just yesterday, Xia Duo handed her a piece of information about communication arrays and wizard locks. This information gave her a lot of inspiration, but what made her more concerned was that Xia Duo's research on communication magic was so in-depth .

Niya doesn't want to fall too far behind Xia Duo, at least in the field she has chosen, she wants to keep up with Xia Duo's progress as soon as possible.

Knowing that Master Byron had returned, her desire to go to Severton was no longer as strong as before.

……

Niya's thoughts, as the husband who sleeps with her every day, Xia Duo certainly has feelings, not only has feelings, but he is also willing to respect such thoughts.

Next, the two didn't discuss this topic too much. After patrolling the territory, they happened to return to the Tower of Time through the Mystery Ruins.

Afterwards, the two went about their own business. As dusk approached and the sun was about to set, Xia Duo stepped onto the teleportation circle to the Arcane Federation.

……

"Master Xiaduo, I am Tom, the deacon of the Almighty Federation. Director Blunders ordered me to receive you here. The dinner has not yet started. You can go to the lounge next to the Hall of Light to rest for a while. I have already contacted the director. , he'll be here later."

As soon as Xia Duo walked out of the teleportation room, a young spellcaster greeted him, briefly introduced his identity, and wanted to lead him the way.

He knew about the Hall of Light. This was the location of the dinner that the Austrian Federation had summoned before, but he was not sure whether the receptionist was real.

However, if anyone dared to play tricks at the headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, then Xia Duo would have to admire him.

From the teleportation room to the hall of light, passing through the magic item trade area, the library, and finally to the dining and accommodation area, Xia Duo hadn't been to the Arcane Federation for a long time. Although the memory of the past was still very clear, he felt quite novel.

The Hall of Light is in the dining and accommodation area. Tom took Xia Duo to a lounge, stood at the door and said to Xia Duo: "Lord Xia Duo, I'm right outside the door. If you have any orders, you can call me at any time."

"Ah."

Xia Duo nodded slightly. Although he believed that it was unlikely that someone would cause trouble at the headquarters of the Austrian and French Federation, he briefly checked the lounge first, and walked in after making sure that there was no problem.

After the door was closed, he checked it carefully again. Not only was there no trap, but there was no magic of listening and monitoring, so it was quite clean.

After a while, Blunders visited the lounge. Only then did Xia Duo fully believe Deacon Tom outside the door.

After the two parties sat down and exchanged a few simple greetings, Blunders quickly got to the point: "Lord Xiaduo, do you know why a welcome night banquet is held for new level 5 members?"

"I don't know. Director Brunders, please tell me clearly." Xia Duo probably had some guesses in his heart, but he still wanted to hear what Brunders had to say first.

"A spellcaster who can become a level 5 member of the Arcane Federation, whether it is a senior arcanist or someone else, must have great influence in Netheril.

"The New Year's Eve Banquet, in addition to expressing welcome to the newcomers, is particularly important, and that is to give this emerging big shot a chance to express his ideas and ideas."

Blunders said it more tactfully, but Xia Duo understood it as soon as he heard it.

The fifth-level members of the Austrian-French Federation have great influence and can influence the final direction of many issues. This has already forced them to remain silent. They must reveal their political intentions so that others can be prepared.

Or to put it more bluntly, it is to let the newcomers choose sides.

Of course, the newcomers here can actually be understood as players in the big game of Netheril and even the main plane, not chess pieces.

Now that he is qualified to play chess, he would be suspected of cheating if he hides in the dark.

Even Xia Duo can guess that if he refuses this welcome night banquet, he may encounter invisible resistance from the entire Netheril magic world.

At the same time, he also understood why Brendes specially arranged for someone to receive him. Perhaps it was because he was in charge of the Level 5 certification at first, but the bigger reason was probably because he wanted to recruit a new "chess player" for Zilan Tower.

Although before becoming a senior arcanist, Xiaduo had always been in the Gilles Tower camp, and belonged to the same camp as the Seven Towers with Kieran Tower, but who said that he couldn't change his family!
Especially a senior arcanist has more choices than ordinary spellcasters.

Of course, if you change again and again, it is easy to lose your trust.

Or you can stand on your own, even "in Cao Ying and in Han".

But no matter what, a person who is qualified to become a chess player must show an attitude, even if it is a disguise, so that at least other "chess players" can distinguish between enemy and friend.

In fact, if Xia Duo made up the rules of the game himself, he would not want to have silent players, or the core point of politics is to express one's opinion.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo told Brundes: "I have an inclusive and open attitude towards magic, and I am happy to see more spellcasters appear. I am closely related to the interests of the Seven Towers, and I hope to get more cooperation opportunities. "

What Xia Duo said was quite satisfactory, but he also expressed a very clear attitude, but after listening to it, Brunders couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Before he came, he already knew that it was Lord Xiaduo who brought Master Byron back, and he was not worried about the relationship between Lord Xiaduo and the Seven Towers.

What he really wanted to hear was a positive statement related to Zilan Tower, but obviously, the young senior arcanist would not easily express such an attitude.

However, Blunders did not show any disappointment on his face. Instead, he said happily: "Lord Xiaduo, you are very welcome to join the Seven Towers camp!"

"I am also very honored to be able to walk with you Grand Arcanists!"
