Arcane Lord

Old City, east of Nese Palace.

Different from the silver-white elven-style buildings in the area where Giles Tower and Nese Palace are located, the architectural tones here are mostly gold and blue.

This area is mainly home to some chambers of commerce, mage clubs, and the offices of mage tower organizations or small groups outside Sevington in Sevington.

The headquarters of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is located in the core area of ​​this "CBD". The original building was an elegant and beautiful elf manor. It was later renovated to add some Nese local style.

But in Xia Duo's opinion, it's either a complete change or no change at all. It's somewhat funny to act like he is trying his best to get rid of the influence of elves while being unable to completely get rid of it.

Sha Duo could probably guess some reasons for President Jenna's invitation tonight, and he happened to want to use the other party's channel for something.

Just as he was thinking about it, he soon arrived at the headquarters of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. In front of the gate, he removed his disguise and returned to his original appearance. The manager of the chamber of commerce, who had been waiting for a long time, was surprised at first, and then immediately greeted him:

"Dear Lord Shado, the president is waiting for you in the Winter Hall, please come with me!"

Xia Duo nodded. He had been here once before and knew that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce headquarters had four formal reception rooms for spring, summer, autumn and winter. The last time he came here was just an ordinary reception room, and the treatment was obviously different.

While traveling, Seid didn't know when he received the news and took over from the original steward. He personally took Sha Duo to the Winter Hall and quietly retreated outside the hall.

When Xia Duo walked into it, Jenna had already stood up to greet him, "Lord Xia Duo, we haven't seen you for a long time, so you can give me a big surprise!"

"It was a fluke that President Jenna is truly talented!"

Sha Duo himself knew what he was doing. It had taken him at least more than ten years since he first came into contact with magic, but most of this time had been covered up by the projection plane.

As far as he knew, almost none of the current great arcanists had achieved success before the age of forty. The President Jenna in front of him was called "a genius second only to the princess" by Iolum.

With an ordinary background, he became a great arcanist at the age of less than 30 years old. Sha Duo looked envious.

If the other party receives magical enlightenment from a young age and receives a more scientific modern education, he may be admitted to the juvenile class and graduate from college (Grand Arcanist) at the age of eighteen.

It can only be said that this era is not worthy of a genius like Jenna.

Of course, like Jenna, there are other great arcanists. Almost all of them have grown up in a self-taught way. They have taken many detours during this period, and in the end they may not be able to take the path they really want. .

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Sha Duo's mind. After a brief exchange of compliments and greetings, he got straight to the point, "Why did President Jenna come to me this time?"

"Lord Xia Duo is a little impatient. Can't it be a gathering of friends?" Jenna asked with a smile.

As he spoke, he also teased the bright golden hair beside his ear. This scene made Xia Duo's heart beat faster. Just thinking about the age that the other party's beautiful face concealed to be his mother, he instantly felt everything. forget about it.

cough--

"President Jenna, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I have to go to the teacher's house soon!"

"You little guy who doesn't understand the charm, your old-fashioned look looks so much like your teacher's!"

After a little teasing, Jenna immediately regained her composure, "Okay, no more joking, I'm asking you to tell me this time. I really want to ask you for help with something!"

"President Jenna, please tell me?"

"I have heard about the incident not long ago. I think you must have a good relationship with the Kelsyk Crown King of Akaula. I would like to ask you to be an intermediary and contact the Kelsyk Crown King for me."

"Is that all?" Xia Duo frowned slightly, seeming to be considering the pros and cons.

It stands to reason that Akora has already signed a mutual defense agreement with Netheril, as well as a later supplementary agreement involving business. It should be easier for Jenna to pass the Severnton Council to contact Akora to crown the king!

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo probably figured out the crux of the matter. If he went through official channels, everything would be official, and maybe Jenna's identity would be made public.

The next moment, Jenna gave an explanation, which was slightly different from Sha Duo's guess——

"Yes, that's it. Originally, I wanted to find the Seven Towers, but something I discovered not long ago made me change my mind. Horn also intends to lay out the business field."

"Horn?" Sha Duo asked doubtfully, "The forces within the Seven Towers are intricately intertwined. Did Horn convince others so quickly?"

"I haven't found out what the specific situation is yet, but from what I know, this should be decided privately by Horn." Jenna said solemnly.

"That's it!"

Decisions made in private are more resolute and more difficult to compromise. In fact, Xia Duo had expected this situation a long time ago.

There is not only one way to ascend to the gods, but at the same time, it is inevitable to change. Areas that are simple and easy to do or have great development potential may be targeted by multiple potential ascendants at the same time.

Jenna chose the currency segment in the commercial field. Promoting the new coins of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is an important step in the ceremony. As for more, only Jenna herself knows.

Although Jenna had mentioned a long time ago that ascension to the gods was just her alternative plan, but even if it was an alternative plan and was targeted by others, it would not be something to be happy about.

It's just that there is no conflict between Shado and Jilan Tower, and there is unlikely to be any conflict in the foreseeable future. Shado is still very hesitant about whether to confront Jilan Tower for Jenna.

Even if Jenna just said that Horn's behavior only represents himself, even if Jenna's words are not considered, it is hard to say that Horn is in that position.

At this moment, Shado can't help but feel a little fortunate. Fortunately, this time, Jenna is still somewhat sincere, otherwise she will directly pit him into the water, and he doesn't know who to find for reason!

After thinking about it, Shado asked a key question: "Have you talked to Horn? Is there any misunderstanding?"

The words and deeds of the great arcanist involve all aspects, just like the exchanges between countries. If there is no frequent communication, it is likely to be misjudged because of certain behaviors.

For example, if a country mobilizes troops to suppress border rebellion, if it does not notify neighboring countries in advance, neighboring countries or another country with interests related to neighboring countries may misjudge that a war is going to break out against the neighboring country, and thus start a war first.

In response to the question raised by Xia Duo, Jenna shook her head helplessly. "How could I take the initiative to find him after something like this happened! Shouldn't he take the initiative to inform me before taking any action? Or does he, as the master of the Seven Towers, not know the inside story of the Ascension Ceremony?"
