Arcane Lord

Yunding Tower.

The time returned to a quarter of an hour ago. Elder Ogus had just finished an all-night dinner. Evereska was about to found the country, and there was always a lot of entertainment to do.

What he didn't expect was that before he could find a chance to rest, Elder Cartneedt, who was in charge of foreign affairs, sent word that envoys from the five countries were visiting.

At present, most countries neither support nor oppose Everesca's attempt to establish an independent country, at least on the surface, except for one——

Sruvinder.

As early as the beginning of the alliance between the eleven high mages of the Everrisk Council of Elders to prepare for the founding of the country, Sluvende clearly expressed its opposition, and until now, the other party's attitude has not softened much.

Since the envoys of the five countries are mentioned, it means that the envoys of Sruvend are included. This makes Ogus feel very embarrassed, because not long ago, there was a fanatical mage Sruvend who caused trouble in Everesca.

This time the Sruwende envoy arrived, was he going to raise an army to hold people accountable? Or should we raise an army to accuse him?

Especially when Elder Cartneedt mentioned that the emissaries from the five countries arrived at the same time, Ogus inevitably had some bad associations. Could it be that the five countries had already discussed some kind of decision?

With Sluvender involved, it is conceivable that if there is some kind of joint decision, it will definitely be detrimental to the founding of Evereska!

Thinking like this, Ogus's mind was spinning rapidly, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and called out to the hall:

"Lacles!"

In less than half a minute, a tall golden elf warrior came in from outside and saluted respectfully, "Sir, what are your orders?"

"During the banquet last night, you said that the Athos mage had returned to the manor?"

"Yes, that person did not hide his appearance when he came back. My patrol team saw it."

"Well, if you invite him to Yunding Tower for me, tell him that I will host a banquet for him, prepare all the honors, and have a good attitude."

"Yes, my lord."

…

Lacres followed the order and left. Ogus looked at the other party's figure and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He wanted to invite him personally, but he couldn't let go of the elder's airs. He could only get up and pace back and forth in the hall.

Not long after, a wave of teleportation spells suddenly came from outside the hall. There were not many elves with teleportation authority in the Yunding Tower, but there were also quite a few. Ogus didn't think of Lacres at first.

But when Lacrosse hurriedly entered, Ogus's expression suddenly changed. Before Lacrosse could speak, he quickly asked: "What happened? Why are you back so soon?"

"Master Athos said he was unavailable, and his attitude seemed to be different compared to yesterday. I didn't dare to delay, so I came back immediately to tell you."

"Is there a difference in attitude?"

When Ogus heard this, he immediately thought of the envoys from the five countries who had just arrived. Could it be that——

No, no, no, the other party clearly stated yesterday that it was willing to support the founding of Evereska. If it was really related to the envoys of the five countries, they should have known the news by then, and they would not have had such an attitude.

"Lacles, why did you invite Mage Athos? Did you neglect him?"

"Sir, I followed your instructions and prepared the ceremony before coming to invite you. Maybe my attitude at that time made Master Athos dissatisfied. Please punish me."

Lacres knelt down on one knee simply. At this time, no matter how slow he was, he could see that the elder attached great importance to the Athos mage, and might even use his long-standing subordinate to win him back.

However, Lacres also knows the current situation of Everriska. If he can win over a powerful high mage, even if he sacrifices his personal life and dignity, what does it matter!

"Lacles, get up first. I believe you. It's my problem."

At this time, Ogus also realized that the all-night banquet had made his thinking a little slow. Only now did he realize that it was too rude to invite a high-ranking mage to the banquet at this time.

If it were him, it would be better if he didn't get angry on the spot. Now the other party just refuses with the excuse of being unavailable, which shows that the other party has good intentions.

Thinking of this, Ogus immediately knew what he was going to do. After getting rid of the smell of alcohol, he took Lacles to the outside of Athos Manor again.

…

At this time, in the study of Athos Manor.

Xia Duo was lamenting that the floating city project was huge and complicated. He didn't want the decoration on the table to ring again, so Xia Duo quieted it down without thinking.

As for projection, of course there is no such thing.

However, the visitor still seemed to be unselfish and "ringed" the doorbell again. Although he was a little unhappy, Chateau was still curious about what tricks Lacrosse would have this time.

Then he clicked on the projection, and the perception field was immediately covered. A real-time video immediately appeared on the desk again. Sha Duo's guess was indeed correct. This time it was Lacrosse.

Only this time, there was another elf beside Lacres, and according to his position, this time it was not Lacres who was the main one, but that strange elf.

Just when Sha Duo was confused, the elf in the real-time video spoke: "Dear Master Athos, my subordinate was rude before. Ogus apologizes to you."

Ogus? Elder Everriska? Apologize?

Sha Duo was stunned. Although he didn't know what the other party was doing, but at the level of a senior mage, everything he said and did could be considered sincere.

In other words, even if the other party may have a conspiracy and is performing an apology, in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a genuine apology.

Correspondingly, in this case, if Xia Duo does not respond, it is basically tantamount to offending the other party to death. Even if the two parties really have a grudge, they should stand up and say a few words at this time.

Thinking like this, Xia Duo also made his own decision.

…

On the other side, when Ogus apologized, he felt extremely tormented. On the one hand, he had indeed been negligent.

On the other hand, it is whether his public apology will add any more variables to Evereska's road to nation-building.

Ogus knew that Athos was looking at him at the moment, and he also wanted to go back in time through the perception field to see the other person's expression and attitude. After all, the perception field derived from the manor's enchantment was just a dead thing and could not be stopped. of a high mage.

It's just that now he is already apologizing for his previous rudeness. If he is rude again, he may provoke a strong enemy for Everriska.

Time passed bit by bit, Ogus was suffering internally, but his expression remained calm.

Behind him, Lacres looked at his elder's still upright back, feeling a little sour for some reason.

"Elder?"

Lacres asked in a low voice, but Ogus's reply was only one word: "Wait!"

Just after he finished speaking, some changes suddenly occurred in the boundary of Athos Manor. For Lacrese, it may be a little difficult to understand, but in the eyes of Ogus, it is already a positive response from the other party.

The next moment, as he expected, the door of the manor opened wide, and a strange elf mage with a familiar aura came out with a smile.
