Chapter 326: Secret meeting (1/2)
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?"
