Arcane Lord

Offa Square.

As the dignitaries in the audience seats took their places one after another, the noisy atmosphere in the square became more intense.

In such a fanatical atmosphere, even a commoner dared to point at the mage who usually did not even dare to look directly at him, and shouted his name loudly.

And when Princess Shia, Badigal, Horn and other great arcanists appeared on the stage, the atmosphere on the field reached a peak, and the invisible sound soared into the sky and spread in all directions.

Even the surrounding magic network was faintly shaking, triggering bursts of glow that could only be glimpsed under magical vision.

The northernmost part of the square, on the platform at the entrance to the Severnton Parliament building, was originally just a buffer area to show the majesty of the Parliament and separate the Parliament building from the square.

Now this place has become the seat of a group of great arcane masters, or more accurately, the seven great arcane masters of the Seven Towers. Wait until the princess and others take their seats one by one.

As for the other great arcanists, not all of them were present. Only Congenio and Iolum were present in person and sat in the west viewing seats, next to Ambassador Cormanso.

In addition to these three people, there were also envoys sent by the other great arcanists of the Arcane Federation in the viewing seats on the west side. Although they could not come in person, they still received a lot of courtesy.

On the east side, there are also viewing seats, but compared to the west side, the status is not as good as that of the senior arcanists and archmages who are watching the ceremony in their personal capacity.

But even so, these people also have a fairly wide reputation in Netheril. Before the princess and others appeared, they were the ones whose names were called the most by the crowd in the square.

In addition, there is a viewing seat facing the Sevington Parliament, which separates the crowd of onlookers from the ceremony site. This place is allocated to the lords of Netheril.

Of course, if the high-level mages of the Seven Towers don't want to crowd around the outside, they can also sit here and watch the ceremony.

There were obviously more young faces. Not all lords liked such a lively scene, so it was only natural that they send their children to attend.

As for the ceremony site——

When the princess finished telling the story of the war in the green field with great emotion, and accompanied by shouts of "victory", a group of participants from the green field plane filed out of the parliament building behind the princess.

Come to the ceremony site, which is surrounded by spectator seats in the center, and enjoy the baptism of eyes from countless people in the square.

Xia Duo was inconspicuous among the crowd. Maybe there were many people in the square who knew his name, but not many people had actually seen him.

Therefore, even though he could hear his name appearing in the crowd from time to time, he did not feel that many people were staring at him.

After all, there are more than a hundred high-level mages participating in the Green Field Plane alone, and the number of other mid-level mages is several times that.

With so many targets scattered, not so many eyes fell on him, but he also knew that this situation would not last long. With the award ceremony over, only the Blazers were left in the field.

Even if it was only a few tenths, it would definitely attract everyone's attention, not to mention, his name was placed at the end, as if he was the one who started this celebration.

Even though Xia Duo had already achieved a calm state of mind before entering the venue, at this moment, when he heard countless people shouting his name, he was really in a state of excitement.

And this is just the beginning.

"In last year's Green Field Counterattack, every participant made great efforts and achieved outstanding results. On behalf of the Sevington Council, I will give them the honor and rewards they deserve!"

As soon as the princess finished speaking, the crowd outside suddenly burst out, "Kill the elves!"

The sound was not very high, but it was extremely harsh. Affected by the sound, countless onlookers also started shouting.

For a moment, the sound of "Kill the elves" echoed in the Offa Square. Even Ambassador Ilfarang, who had a close relationship with Netheril, couldn't help but change his face at such a neat voice.

Not to mention, Ambassador Cormanso, who was already livid at the moment.

Xia Duo mingled in the crowd, and it didn't matter if his eyes were a little wild. He noticed that the moment the voice of "kill the elves" came out, the princess's eyes changed.

Although he had very few contacts with the princess, he could still see the displeasure in her eyes. This situation was probably not directed or performed by the above.

If we were to put on a show, wouldn't it be more interesting to push those elf captives out?

This should be considered an emergency.

He didn't know whether the person who shouted the slogan at first was spontaneous or was instigated by someone, but no matter what, Xia Duo felt that someone might be in bad luck this time.

…

Just when the atmosphere in the square was going off the rails, Princess Shia raised her hand, and a strong magical aura suddenly waved out from her palm, connecting with the surrounding magic network, and the influence spread.

Almost instantly, the square fell silent, and then the princess calmly said: "People of Netheril! The elves are not our enemies!

"The establishment of Netheril is inseparable from the teaching and help of the elves. Even now, Netheril has firm elven allies. As for Cormanthor, I believe that the two countries will eventually find common interests and resolve disputes. , become a true friend!”

After saying that, the princess sat down in her original position, and then the master of ceremonies announced the start of the awarding ceremony.

And in the sky above the square, cheers were once again recalled. Only then did Shao Duo notice that at some point, Offa Square had completely overlapped with the demiplane he had been to a few days ago.

He had been wondering before. The interior of the demiplane was exactly the same as the Arcane Square. If it weren't for today's overlap, why would a special demiplane be prepared?

Only now did he realize that it wasn't that it didn't overlap with Offa Square, but that it overlapped and he didn't notice it.

This approach can control risks as much as possible while keeping Offa Square as it is, but Sha Duo still can't understand the specific details of the approach.

…

The awarding ceremony was just as rehearsed in the preview, concise and clear. The difference was that this time it was for real, and all participating mid-level mages received a [Greenfield Plane War·Combat Commemorative Badge].

All participating high-level mages received a [Greenfield Plane War·Bravery Badge];

Among them, seven arcanists who participated in the later repair work of the magic network received an additional [Green Field War·Dedication Badge], including Sha Duo and Niya.

And Xia Duo, compared to other arcanists, has a special badge - [Green Field · Outstanding Commander Badge]!

These four kinds of badges are all magic items, and their quality is gradually improved. Although we have not seen this before in the preview, we can guess one or two just from the intensity of the magic aura at the scene.

When Sha Duo took the [Drow Commander Badge] from the princess, a real call suddenly erupted in the square, and his name was all neatly written.

Except for this badge, the other badges and other badges were issued by relevant personnel of the Sevington Council. Therefore, from this moment on, Shado officially appeared in the public eye.
