Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1033 The Federation Specially Recognized for the Elderly

Soon, the dinner was at its final stage, and the low-level deacon of the Austrian Federation had removed all the remaining food and tableware from the table, and replaced them with cups of steaming "Bonu" tea.

There was also a cup in front of Xia Duo, and just after serving the tea, the whole hall of light was filled with a faint fresh air.

Looking at the fine dead leaves swirling in the teacup and slowly sinking to the bottom of the cup, Xia Duo raised his cup and took a small sip. His spirit, which had become dull after a strange dinner party, was immediately lifted.

Although this tea is not as good as the original leaves given to him by the elf Orepus, it is also much better than the "Bonu No. [-]" owned by the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo raised his glass and took another sip, the feeling of coolness and warmth appeared alternately in his body, he couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, people here in Severton will enjoy it!"

Seemingly seeing that Xia Duo was interested in Bonu tea, Brundes on the side immediately introduced:
"Lord Xiaduo, this is 'Bonu No. [-]', except for the original leaf that the elves have always refused to export, and the 'No. [-]' that has long been acquired by the great arcanist. Bonu tea.

"This kind of tea generally rarely appears in the market, and most of them are allocated on a fixed basis. Now that you are a level 5 member of the Austrian Law Federation, we will specially prepare a certain amount of free purchases and some purchases for you every year."

"Ah."

Xia Duo hummed noncommittally. He should be very happy if he could get this kind of stable access to "Bonu No. [-]" before owning a Bonu tea tree.

But now, his inner feelings are quite flat.

……

Seeing that the meal was eaten and the tea was drunk, the conversation among the people in the Hall of Light had gradually become dull, and some people even began to look around, as if they would leave the scene at any time, Xia Duo asked Brundes again:
"Director Brunders, are there any other projects after the dinner?"

His subtext was almost written on his face, that is——Where is the Master Conjenio you mentioned earlier?This is about to end, why hasn't he come yet?
Brundes, who was asked again, couldn't help being confused at the moment, and for the first time had doubts about whether the president would come or not.

The president said before that he would come, so if he didn't come at the beginning of the dinner, he would also show up at the last tea, but now, the tea is almost finished, and no one shows up, which is somewhat abnormal.

"Lord Xia Duo, maybe the president has something urgent to deal with. I'll ask Director Hatchnet, who has a closer relationship with the president. Maybe he will know something."

"Ah."

Xia Duo nodded dully, and then looked at Hechenit, but this look made him discover some clues.

Although at the moment the director of Hatchnet is good at dancing, coordinating the relationship between the directors attending the dinner as much as possible, trying to enliven the atmosphere, and doing a good job before, but at this moment, Xia Duo saw a trace of anxiety in Hatchnet's eyes look.

And when Brundes summoned him to inquire, for a moment, that anxious look almost occupied all his eyes, but he concealed it well.

If Xia Duo hadn't been paying attention to his expression, maybe he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Soon, Brundes and Hechenit respectively explained to Xia Duo that the president might have been delayed by something, and promised that the president would definitely appear tonight.

In this regard, Xia Duo can only accept it, not to mention that Congeinio is still the president of the Arcane Union, or as a great arcanist, even if it is his age, it is worth Xia Duo to wait.

As long as you can be sure that the other party is really coming back, you can wait as long as you want.

And just after Brundes and Hechenit summoned and explained, less than a minute had passed, Xia Duo suddenly noticed a kind of shock that he was very familiar with in the magic net in the Hall of Light——

This is the sent signal!

In the Hall of Light at this moment, everyone present is at least at the level of an archmage, so they are naturally very sensitive to this kind of signal.

However, in the headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, it is almost impossible for an enemy to appear, and the identity of the person who has the courage to teleport in front of all the directors is almost self-evident.

So, everyone including Xia Duo stood up from their chairs together, and looked at the place in the hall where the strings of the magic net vibrated the most.

As the shock reached a certain limit, a magical aura like white mist appeared in the magic vision. This aura was only for a moment, then dimmed again, and as time passed, it would eventually dissipate completely.

However, at the moment when the aura turned from prosperity to decline, the teleporter had already appeared in the hall.

An old man with silver hair and a kind face, as soon as he appeared, Xia Duo recognized him. Isn't this the same old man who sat next to Iolum in the auditorium of the Princess Ascension Ceremony?

Now it seems that it should be Master Conjenio without a doubt.

At the same time, the directors in the hall also announced the identity of the comer with practical actions. They saluted almost unanimously and shouted:
"President!"

Xia Duo's "Master" was slightly behind, and it stood out in this quiet hall of light.

However, Congeigno was not angry because of this, but apologized to everyone very humbly, without any pretensions of seniors:

"Sorry guys, I'm late."

How could everyone dare to accept the apology from the master, and they all said that it was not too late for the master to come, and Director Hechenit even changed the topic and began to introduce Xia Duo:
"President, this is Lord Xiaduo, who just passed the federation's level 5 membership certification not long ago."

"Lord Xiaduo, I know. Just now I heard Byron mention your name. Before that, I heard it more often."

As he spoke, Congeigno slowly walked up to Xia Duo, looked into Xia Duo's eyes, and praised: "That's right, Netheril lacks excellent young people like you the most!"

"Master, I'm sorry. I just did the job of a spellcaster and a lord. It's not outstanding, and I think what Netheril lacks the most is not a young man like me, but a young man like me. Master, you are such an elder who is willing to train young people!"

"what--"

After listening to what Xia Duo said, Congeinio's eyes lit up immediately. Although the words of the young man in front of him were still flattering, the main idea he wanted to express was also deeply recognized by him.

Glancing at the federation directors with different expressions around him, Conjenio did not discuss this issue with Xia Duo in depth, but he has already remembered this young man with unique ideas and is ready to continue to pay attention.

"Master Xia Duo, welcome to be a true member of the Federation!"

"My pleasure!"

Then, Conjenio took out a signature gift - a set of [Ion Stones] named after him.

Of course, although this set was all made by him himself, there is not much difference from other people's productions, and it may even be worse than some versions that have been updated, and more of a symbolic meaning.

Xia Duo took the elder's gift with both hands, and said solemnly: "Thank you for the gifts, Master, I will definitely make good use of them!"

"I'm glad you can think so!"

After speaking, Conjenio left, which also meant the end of the New Year's Eve banquet.
