Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1032
Then, Brundes chatted with Xia Duo about some interesting things inside the Seven Towers, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left.Afterwards, in Xia Duo's lounge, there was no silence, and people came to visit from time to time.

Either it is clear that the chariots and horses are directly wooing him, or they are inquiring about their attitude, or they are simply here to seek refuge, or they just come to see him in the name of communication.

In this process, based on the principle of reciprocity, if the other party wants to woo, inquire, and communicate, they must first express their own attitude.

Because of this, Xia Duo finally had a clearer understanding of the "chess players" of Netheril, which can be roughly divided into seven factions, namely——

Lord's Alignment, Aggressive Spellcasters, and Slime, Anti-Elf, Elf, Truth, and Faith.

The Seven Towers camp is rather special. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the "Seven Towers Interest Group". The actual attitudes and final appeals are not completely consistent.

For example, the Gilles Tower can be classified as the lord camp; the Gustav Tower can be classified as the lord camp and the anti-elf camp at the same time.

The Morain Tower can be classified as the lord's camp and the Truth faction.

In addition, there are conservative and open points for knowledge, but this is similar to the Seven Towers camp, and they are more similar to an alliance of interests, not just an attitude.

In short, the same attitude does not mean the same interests, but when the interests are the same, the attitudes are often the same.

The interior of a small Netheril is still quite complicated. For the time being, Xiaduo only classifies himself as the lord camp, and maybe there is a group of gentle spellcasters.

Of course, because of its gentleness, it appears plain, and Xia Duo was not specifically classified into one category.

……

Soon, the dinner party was about to begin. Under the reminder of Deacon Tom, Xia Duo rejected all subsequent visitors, and he knew that these people did not need to meet all of them.

In fact, if he knew in advance who the "chess players" in Netheril were and what their attitudes were, some of them wouldn't even need to meet.

It's not a passerby at all, and it's useless to see it, unless the visitor betrays the master behind them and exchanges a big secret for their own asylum.

However, this possibility is extremely low. Xia Duo doesn't think that a subordinate in the magical world who has been running outside all year round can know many big secrets.

……

Hall of Light.

When Xia Duo entered it, his eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, it was as if the time had flown back to noon, and the artificial light from the dome of the hall was bright but soft.

Touching it can even feel a slight warmth, like the warm winter sun, soothing the body and mind.

The hall area is very large, even if there is a long dining table and accommodate more than 20 people at the same time, it is still not crowded.

The 25 directors of the Austrian Law Federation have all arrived. Of course, Xia Duo only recognizes Brundes and Auron among them.

Others may have heard of the name, or maybe they haven't even heard of the name, so why talk about the face!

"Lord Xia Duo, come, let me introduce you!"

As soon as Xia Duo appeared, Blunders greeted him and introduced the directors of the Austrian Law Federation, but Xia Duo met another acquaintance first:
"Director Auron, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time! I didn't expect to meet again on such an occasion. It seems that Master Byron is right, you really have great potential!"

When we met again, Auron was very moved. In just a few years, a senior arcanist had almost grown up under his nose.

Knowing this, it is better to invest in advance, maybe now is another scene.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Brundes continued to introduce to Xia Duo——

"This is the director of Ansero, who was born in the Morian Tower. He is only in charge of the [Neither Scroll] in the Arcane Federation. If you want to know the secrets related to the [Neither Scroll], you are right to ask him. !"

"Nice to meet you, Director Ansero."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Xia Duo."

……

"This is the director of Fiziban, who was born in the Gustav High Tower. He is in charge of the internal review of the Arcane Federation. Don't look at his indifferent facial expression, but he is actually very enthusiastic inside. He knows more about the internal information of the Seven Towers than I do. Much more."

"Happy meeting!"

……

From the Seven Towers Great Arcanists to the directors of the Arcane Federation, to the leaders of some of the more powerful mage tower organizations, Brundes took the trouble to introduce them one by one.

But the intimacy is quite clear. At the end of the introduction, there is basically only one name left.

In this regard, Xia Duo did not show any disrespect, and nodded to every director almost equally. If the other party is interested in talking a little more, Xia Duo will respond.

Compared with those who visited him in the lounge before, each of these directors is at least an archmage, and there are many famous people among them.

Of course, his own strength is nothing. Although Xia Duo has just become a senior arcanist, he is also confident that he will be in the forefront of these directors.

What really matters about these directors is their identities. They represent the 25 most powerful mage tower organizations in Netheril. For this alone, even if they are all low-level mages, Xia Duo can't help but ignore them.

However, no matter what you pay attention to, some people will not get together after all.

After the introduction, the dinner party almost started. A director named "Hachnet" welcomed Xia Duo on behalf of the president of the Arcane Federation, Conjenio Grand Arcanist, and announced the start of the dinner party.

As a result, more than 20 people who were originally quite harmonious in the Hall of Light immediately separated into different camps.

Xia Duo sat down with several directors of the Seven Towers camp, including Brundes and Auron, and the others were also in twos and threes.

Fortunately, this long dining table is big enough, and at the same time, the voice of the director of Hatchnet is also loud enough, otherwise, when the toast is said, the voice from one end of the table cannot be heard from the other end.

Xia Duo was quite uncomfortable with such a weird social environment, and at the same time, he was also a little puzzled. Didn't Brundes say that Master Conjenio would attend?

He is also going to mix a set of Ion Stone equipment!
Moreover, after returning from the outer plane a few days ago, when I contacted Master Byron, didn't the master also say that he would come to the New Year's Eve banquet?
Why haven't you come yet?
The dinner dishes are Netherese style, mainly fried and grilled, with some raw vegetables as supplements, served with elf fruit wine. Overall, it is not bad, but Xia Duo is a bit tasteless.

I have something on my mind, and I don't even feel good about eating.

During a toast, Xia Duo concealed it a bit, summoned Brundes, and asked, "When will Master Congeigno come?"

"The president is not in good health recently, but don't worry, he will definitely come when he said he will come!"

Brunders spoke so firmly, and Xia Duo's understanding of Conjenio was limited to a little background information and hearsay.

However, the rumors about the Grand Arcanist among spellcasters are still very reliable.

Therefore, Xia Duo suppressed the confusion in his heart and waited patiently.
