Arcane Lord

The city guard took the badge with some doubts, but this was not something he, a city guard, could handle, so he whispered a few words to his companions, and then left the post with the badge given by Xia Duo.

Chateau was temporarily arranged to wait in a lounge. While waiting, he felt a little uneasy. In the conversation he had just had with real estate salesman Lesvitio, the other party mentioned that Puffin's prophet had a very good reputation.

But the badge provided by Xia Duo was a forgery after all, and he was not sure whether the other party would recognize it, or whether the rumors of being friendly to others were true, or whether they would see him because of a divine sword mark.

As for whether he would perform a prophecy ceremony before meeting him, Xia Duo was not too worried. If the other party decided to meet him, this time would not be enough to perform a prophecy ceremony.

And if the other party doesn't want to see him, then his current actions are actually enough to alert the enemy, and he will choose to attack the other party's manor, but the movement will be too big.

…

While Chateau was waiting anxiously, the city guards at Paffin Manor had already seen the manor steward. After handing over the badge provided by Chateau, they did not dare to say anything and lowered their heads without saying a word.

After the butler saw the familiar magic mark on the badge, his eyes tightened, but he remained calm. After careful inspection, he found nothing unusual. He couldn't make the decision on this kind of thing. Then he asked the guard a few questions, Especially the description of Xia Duo, and then he walked inside the manor with the badge.

inner chamber.

Puffin, a well-known prophet in the outside world, was pruning the branches of a bouquet of flowers with a relaxed expression. The butler came in and remained unmoved until he trimmed the bouquet into the shape he wanted and put it in his hands. After putting it in the vase, he turned around and cast his deep eyes on the slightly worried butler——

"What can't you solve?"

"Sir, there is a visitor who is suspected to be from the Excalibur family, but I can't be sure, so I can only come to disturb you."

With that said, the butler handed Paffin the wooden badge that had been passed through several hands. Paffin took a look at it before carefully taking it into his hand. The surface of the badge was engraved with a patchwork of flowers, and there was a long sword with dark patterns interspersed in it.

But there is a very inconspicuous crown hidden at the top. Of course, this is just the badge itself. Anyone can make such a badge. For the caster, the essence of looking at it is a magic mark attached to it.

Or to be more precise - the Mark of the Excalibur.

Puffin had seen the mark of the Divine Sword several times before, and he could recognize the unique aura almost the moment he saw it. However, the mark on it represented the Sword of Dominion. Could it be that King Mian wanted to see him?

No, it's impossible. Puffin doesn't care about the rumors from the outside world, but he himself knows that if King Mian wants to see him, there is no need to send an envoy with the mark of the divine sword to invite him. Even he now lives in Seboho. Mu is waiting for King Mian's summons.

"Did the visitor tell him his specific identity again?" Puffin asked.

"The visitor calls himself Athos, but the specific identity is not mentioned." The butler noticed Puffin's expression and realized that the mark of the divine sword was probably real, and his master also had the idea of ​​​​seeing him.

"Sir, do you want to see each other?"

"Let me think about it."

At this moment, Puffin hadn't really made up his mind. The unknown identity of the other party made him very worried. He wanted to perform a prophecy ceremony, but he heard the butler say——

"That visitor is still waiting for a reply from us!"

yes! Only then did Puffin realize that the other party had already come over, and he had even seen the divine sword mark sent by the other party. Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, he had been involved in it. At this time, he had not seen each other, but instead may have adverse effects.

Thinking of this, Puffin told the butler, "Invite him over, and be respectful. I'll wait for you at the observation deck by the lake."

"Yes, sir, I'll be there right away."

…

After the housekeeper left, Puffin took a look at the flower arrangement he had just completed, and couldn't help but feel a little irritated. After all, he was disturbed and failed to achieve the state he wanted.

So Puffin waved his hand and swept the elegant and exquisite porcelain vase and the bouquet of flowers in the vase to the corner of the room. The next moment, a light flashed in the corner, and the broken flowers and broken porcelain disappeared without a trace.

Then Puffin changed into outdoor clothes and came to the observation deck by the lake. At this time, servants had already prepared tea and snacks, but Puffin did not move, but looked at the calm lake and pondered the true purpose of the visitor.

Are you looking for outside help for the internal strife in the Prince Mian family, or do you have some private work that you want to ask him, a prophet, for help with?

But no matter what, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to truly break into the Mianwang family, and he has been waiting for this opportunity for too long!

In the past, he had managed to meet Prince Ser who only lived in Lieyang Community for a short period of time every year, but the other party's attitude towards him was to stay away from him. After noticing this sign, he never met Prince Ser again. You are a prince.

…

Just as Paffin was thinking about how to hook up with the Prince Mian family through Sha Duo, Sha Duo also came to the manor under the leadership of Butler Pfen.

Then all the way to the lake, there was only one golden elf on the viewing platform. The moment he saw him, Xia Duo recognized him as the one he saw during the prophecy ceremony!

At the same time that Sha Duo noticed Puffin, Puffin also noticed Sha Duo's gaze. He turned around and saw the strange visitor brought by his butler.

He was very sure that he had never seen the other person before today, but the demeanor of a high-ranking elf was difficult for ordinary elves to imitate.

But for some reason, the moment he saw the other person, his heartbeat was a little erratic. Maybe it was because he had finally seen hope after a long period of expectation, or maybe the purpose of this visitor's trip might have a great impact on his fate. Influence.

Thinking of this, Puffin's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot. He immediately stood up to greet him, "Your Excellency Athos, I'm sorry for neglecting you. Welcome to Puffin Manor."

"Sir Puffin, I don't know why, although this is the first time we meet, I have a feeling that we have known each other for a long time."

Xia Duo looked at the other party and said with a smile. He was in a very relaxed state at this time, because he had already seen the other party, and the two sides were only a few steps away at this moment. Now he could say that the overall situation was decided!

That's naturally quite relaxing.

"I also feel that Lord Athos looks quite familiar. Maybe this is what the Easterners call fate. I am looking forward to the next cooperation!"

"Oh? Before I said anything, Lord Puffin knew that I came here to seek cooperation?"

"Of course, I am a prophet!"

Puffin's attitude was so kind that it was almost flattering. Sha Duo was actually a little happy when he saw this. He raised his eyebrows, almost unable to hold back, "Then I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!" ()
