The young mage Cohen stood in the mansion belonging to the Duke, listening to the surrounding casters whispering about the mysterious development of the Southland, from time to time with two sentences, but in fact absent-minded.

Half of the people here are not seriously recruited for that recruitment, Cohen knows this very well.

Behind them is a small family that is getting smaller and smaller. It is a new aristocrat who is preparing to attack a higher level. He is a rich businessman who wants to have a good relationship with the nobles. The real purpose of these people is not to go to the development of the South. When the builders, but hope to take this opportunity to establish a certain relationship with the Cecil family - the Cecil family has not fallen, but the resurrection of the founding Duke has brought a glimmer of hope for this declining family, nearly half a year As for the news of the development of the Southland, the Cecil family did not annihilate the barren land. Instead, it gradually gained a foothold, which made some people with ulterior motives active.

Almost everyone recognizes the fact that even if the founding Duke really ran to the border to open up, it is a matter of time before the Cecil family returned to the political arena of the kingdom, whether it was for the orthodox symbol of the royal family or for the stability of the aristocracy. The king must have the Cecil family re-established as a pillar of the royal family - the king can avoid Gao Wen? Cecil himself, but he must face up to the surname of "Cessil" who regained the ancestor's shelter.

In this case, the Cecil family, which is still far from the border, naturally has an investment value.

But in any case, the name "Cesil" is still sensitive, and their investment value is still not clear enough, so many big families are still waiting to see, still thinking carefully, so some small, as a big family vassal The small family was pushed out, and by the opportunity of the Duke to recruit the extraordinary, came to establish a trace of contact, so as to lay the foundation for future investment.

In addition to this part of the people with special purposes, the minds of other people on the scene are not simple, only one thing is certain, that is, few people on the scene are really responding to the call of the Duke.

If there is no family task, a professional who has obtained extraordinary strength does not need to go to the barren land of the border to do any pioneering construction. Even if the reward given by the Duke is not low, what can be gained in the land with nothing? The most valued ones are the promotion prospects of the extraordinary field, and the second is the development of the upper class. Money is the third place for them.

As for whether or not you can take advantage of this opportunity to climb into friendship with the Cecil family... The caster without a family background can not count on this. This is a world of pedigree and family inheritance, a small mage who is not a civilian and has no wealth. What value can the Duke have?

Cohen knew that he was the same. Although he had some personal friendship with Santis, this time he decided to look at the situation after receiving a personal letter from Santis, but in fact he did not intend to respond to the recruitment of the Duke. The purpose of his coming here is the same as that of other young and lonely casters, but he has only taken a fancy to the “personality” opportunities brought by this place – those who want to invest in the Cecil family are themselves the only end of the aristocracy. However, it is still a rare network for low-level mages like Cohen, who are generally talented in the family. Now two-fifths of the people in the hall are holding up with these people.

There are only two people here: the first person who wants to meet the Cecil family, and the second person like Cohen who wants to meet the first person.

A young man with brown curly hair, a hooked nose and a delicate silk dress came over. Cohen recognized that this was a sideline member of the Strawohn family, so he immediately stood up and smiled and picked up the glass. Pay tribute to it and try to talk a few words.

There was no friendship between the two sides, and the conversation did not last long, but Cohen believed that he had left a little impression on the other side. After the young master of the Strauben family left, the young mage put away a stiff smile on his face and gently Exhaled, put down the glass and left the seat.

The waiter in the red vest immediately asked him if he needed help—these were hired and dispatched by the royal family. After the resurrection of the Duke of Govin Cecil, the royal family continued to pay for the Duke’s journey to the South after the resurrection of the Duke of Ceci. Out of help to take care of this industry - Cohen waved his hand and said that he was only chest tight and wanted to go out.

He left the bright living room, and came outside to blow the cold wind. The giant day has gradually sunk, and the sky is dimming a little.

Cohen sneezed, he rubbed his nose, turned and prepared to drink another precious Carna wine, and then went home.

But at this moment, he saw the young woman with a dark complexion and a long skirt named Jeepie coming towards herself.

Santisi is really good luck, can have such a beautiful lady to accompany.

Cohen thought a little enviously, and then nodded slightly to the female apprentice apprentice in front of him: "Miss Jeepie."

He wants to pay tribute to the Duke's messenger, but he has to remain a reserved person as a formal supernatural. After all, the other is just a mage apprentice.

Jipley tapped his forehead with his finger, returned to a standard mage ceremony, and smiled and asked: "Mr. Cohen Bonate, is that?"

"Yes, it is me, is there something?"

"You are eligible, Mr. Santis asked me to give this to you."

The young female mage apprentice handed a folded letter and a seemingly ordinary brooch to Cohen, who couldn’t help but frown after receiving the letter and hesitated and said: "But... I don't have Be prepared to..."

"This is not a registration letter to the South, but an invitation to the next party," Jupli said with a smile. "Please don't miss this opportunity - wearing a brooch is proof of your participation in the party."

Cohen still wants to ask something, but Jeppey just smiles mysteriously and shakes his head. He turns and walks away. Cohen has no choice but to open his head and open the folded letter, curiously looking.

I only wrote one sentence above: After the first bell tonight, I am still here.

But this sentence has a small symbol behind it, a symbol with lightning and eye patterns.

"Magician secret meeting? What is Santis doing... Is it going to use this opportunity for the Duke to do his own private party? Is he going to return to the Wangdu Masters circle?"

Cohen frowned and curiously, but he still carefully collected the letter.

Regardless of what Santis wants to do, it is necessary to participate in a similar magician secret meeting. The casters are a good opportunity to improve their strength and gain knowledge. It is not cheap to organize a decent meeting. Someone came out to organize, and could continue to taste the food and wine in the Duke's mansion. Cohen believes that most people will not miss this opportunity.

He glanced at the sky outside and found that the sun had almost completely fallen to the horizon: the first bell was not far away.

He returned to the living room and saw that many people had got up and left, but there were still some people sitting in the same place. Cohen glanced around and saw that there was already a brooch on the clothes in the corner.

Sure enough, not only myself...

Cohen put down his heart and put the brooch on his body.

After another ten minutes, a senior attendant appeared, indicating that the party was over and the guests were registered. Visitors were asked to leave at will.

So several people got up and left, but Cohen saw that there were still people sitting still - they all had brooches.

The waiter in the red vest and the maid in the black and white maid's skirt entered the hall and began to pack the plates and glasses left by the guests. Cohen sat a little bit back to the seat, a waiter walked past his eyes, the waiter's The line of sight apparently stayed on the brooch of his jacket, and the waiter nodded his tribute and did not let him leave. Instead, he brought a sour water to soothe the gods.

Cohen was completely relieved.

After a while, Cohen saw some new visitors walk into the living room—the visitors were still out of the cold, and the first time they entered the house was to squat to the fireplace, apparently just arrived.

Are they "recruiters" who came earlier in the day? Specially rushed to the evening party?

The scale of the party that Santiz is going to do this time is not small... It’s really a person who can spend noble money.

Cohen’s thoughts were diverging, and slowly he noticed something unusual:

Many people who come to the party are familiar faces. This is not surprising. After all, there are only a limited number of Masters, but there are no members from the aristocratic family or a certain mage faction!

You know, even if it is the lonely Santisi, you should know one or two family members or faction members... At least with the training of a Master Tower, should you have it?

Deliberately no invitation? Or to say... This gathering is really special. All family members and faction members are excluded.

Cohen’s heart moved and couldn’t help but raise his attention.

He instinctively feels that the so-called "second gathering" tonight is not simple...

In the course of this thinking, the first bell in Wangdu sounded.

The bells of the jingle bells rang, and in the churches calling on the believers to pray and sing the bells of the Lord, Cohen noticed that the attendants left the hall one by one, and the soldiers wearing the Cecil system armor were replaced by the attendants. At each entrance and exit, the sound of the latching of the door is also transmitted from the direction of the gate.

The people on the scene were a bit uneasy, but soon the side door of the hall opened and Santis, wearing a black mage robes, walked into the hall accompanied by Jeepie and Pierce.

Santis quietly glanced at the people in the hall, and he found that it was this time, and he was still calmer than expected.

Then he spoke up:

"You, are you interested in the ancient magical skills and knowledge of the lost field?"

In the South, in the castle of the Count of Hosman, wearing the Earl's golden red attire, the sharp-eyed Earl of Karlov-Holsman stood on the banquet hall with a gold cup filled with Carna wine in his hand and smiling. The ground is looking at the guests present.

In the music of the plucked lyre and tambourine, the count said in a loud voice: "Are you interested in the ‘Magic Net’ technology from Cecil?

"I want to tell you a good news - I have cracked its secrets under the efforts of several intelligent wizards and scholars from the Hosman family!"
