Arcane Lord

Savile Town, central square.

Mayor Thain directed a group of servants to go about their business. He did not dare to neglect the lord's orders. Although the territory had not held a decent award ceremony for several years, he still arranged the personnel very skillfully. on site.

Thinking of the last time the awarding ceremony was held in the territory, it was when the old lord was present. Unexpectedly, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the lord who was originally a young man is no longer young anymore.

"You're all old!"

Mayor Thain sighed with emotion and ordered people to go to the temple to ask for Bishop Ambril. He himself found Master Aibo who was casting spells to make flowers, and patted Aibo's shoulder familiarly:

"Aibo, what is the lord doing now? Everyone here is almost here, and he hasn't shown up yet!"

"He should be talking to Niya right now. He wants to introduce Niya to everyone at the award ceremony."

"Ah -" Thain exclaimed, "Isn't it too early? Niya is still so young, why don't you persuade her!"

Thain serves as the administrative director of the Savile Territory. He and Aberke are both followers selected by the old lord for Lord Epps. Thain, in particular, has been serving the Sevier family since his grandfather.

Faced with Thain's complaint, Aiboke could only smile bitterly, "Why didn't I dissuade you? But as long as the lord made up his mind, we could dissuade him that time, let alone letting Niya come to the front. Not long ago, He also sent Niya to the orc battlefield!"

"What!"

Now Thain was even more uneasy, "By the way, why didn't Cecily tell me about this? Was it the lord who stopped her, or you?"

Cecily is the daughter of Thain. She grew up with Niya. It can be said that she is the housekeeper of the next generation of Lord Savile. And most importantly, Cecily is a mage.

Compared to Thane's relationship with the lord, his daughter has a closer relationship with Nya.

"No one is stopping her, it's her own decision."

"Okay, she's very sensible, but even so, you didn't tell me! Do you think I'm old or dead?" Thain looked unhappy.

Looking at Thain who had grown up together like a brother, Aiboke felt a headache, "Okay, Thain, don't be angry. We were so busy after the war that we all forgot about it. I promise not to do it next time!"

Thain waved his hand, "Forget it, I've told you so many times, I've already seen through you."

Then he changed the topic and returned to the previous topic, "I don't think it's right now about Niya. The orc tide is gone, and the large forest from Savile Leader to Wolf God Mountain can be opened up. What do you think of the Empire?" Will anyone be jealous internally?

"There are also elves. The first generation lords had conflicts with the elves when they opened up this place. If the territory continues to be developed, will they provoke the elves again? Niya is still a child. There is no need for her to bear the responsibility now. We haven't yet Die!"

"This -" After listening to Thain's words, Aiboke also hesitated a little. He is good at studying magic, but he is not good at thinking about the development of the territory. "Then where is the lord -"

"Take me to him quickly! We can't let him bring Niya to the award ceremony, at least not as the heir to the territory."

At this moment, Aibo seemed to see the majestic aura of his brother again.

He summoned various mages to let him continue to cast spells to create flowers to decorate the ceremony venue, while he teleported away with Thain.

…

At this time, Xia Duo had already put on a set of mage robes that looked quite gorgeous and exquisite, and came to the statue of the Grand Arcanist to wait for the ceremony to begin.

Similar to him, there are a dozen apprentices who are also dressed in this way. Unfortunately, this exquisite robe decorated with gold and silver threads is actually just a fake.

Xia Duo didn't see any magical aura on it. This was what he was talking about. Even this set of robes was given directly to them.

In addition, he also noticed that although the robes of those official mages were similar to them, they really had magical aura.

Perhaps the lord did this to make them look more formal.

"Xia Duo, Xia Duo, I see my family!"

Suddenly, Dean excitedly pointed to a point in the crowd to the south and said, "Look, behind the tall soldier, there are three people in the past. The person holding the little girl is my mother. Next to them are my father and aunt. The little girl is My cousin."

Sha Duo looked in the direction Dean pointed, and there were all heads. It seemed that everyone in the town who could come was here, and from time to time someone was waving and shouting.

Dean's family blended in with the crowd inconspicuously.

Next to him, Sami was waving to the south, obviously saying hello to his family. Everyone was extremely excited, except Xia Duo.

He felt that he was incompatible with such an occasion. In this atmosphere, Xia Duo naturally thought of his family, but how should he say hello when they were a world away?

In contrast, he would rather study magic in the Mage Tower.

As if they were concerned about Sha Duo's feelings, Sami and Dean's excitement subsided slightly, but the others didn't care what Sha Duo thought, they were as excited as they should be.

Xia Duo turned his attention elsewhere.

Under the statue of the Grand Arcanist, spellcasters and non-casters are arranged in an "eight" shape. The closer you are to the statue of the Grand Arcanist, the more powerful you are, the more respected your status is, and the more grand your achievements are.

In Xia Duo's view, there is another judgment, that is, judging from the strength of the magic aura on the body, the more powerful the magic item is, the closer it is to the statue of the Grand Arcanist.

Almost all the prominent figures in Savileland are above this "eight".

Xia Duo and these mage apprentices just stood at the end of the "eight" and showed their faces.

Even further away are the guards maintaining order and the onlookers.

…

Just when Xia Duo was extremely bored and looking around, the non-spell casters on the other side of the "eight" had already arrived one after another, and the spell casters on Xia Duo's side were also coming quickly, and only a few positions were still empty.

"Look, the bishop of the temple is here!"

Xia Duo saw that almost all the people on the left and right turned around, and he also turned around curiously. It was an old man wearing a red, orange, and yellow robe. Accompanied by the waiters on the left and right, he slowly came to the foot of the Great Arcane Statue. , the front end of Xia Duo's "eight" legs.

As the bishop walked, Xia Duo seemed to see a ray of light rising from the bishop's body, and a softness slowly penetrated, making people feel like a spring breeze.

At this moment, it was as if the cold had left him.

Originally, the noisy crowd fell silent the moment the bishop stepped out of the temple. Sha Duo did not expect that the bishop had such a great reputation in Savile territory.

Fortunately, Xia Duo was also familiar with the "Holy Proverbs of the Lord of Glory" and knew how to avoid conflicts with the church. In fact, the stronger the clergy were, the more they were like the ancient gentlemen on earth and could be bullied.

This "prescription" is their teaching.

Except, of course, for a handful of enthusiasts.
