Lord of Arcane

Chapter 958
In fact, Xia Duo was not as calm as he showed, but as he and Niya said, it's all here, so what else can it do!

Unless you don't want to mix in Netheril, you can only accept the arrangement of the Seven Towers.

Although this kind of experience is somewhat unpleasant, seriously speaking, this is not a bad thing. There will be envoys from various parties participating in the celebration, so it will not be unfavorable for Qita to face the recipients of awards and commendations in front of foreign envoys!
If you really want to do this, it is too inconsistent with the "personal design" that the Seven Towers have always shown!

Strictly speaking, this matter should be regarded as a good thing for Xia Duo, at least from the perspective of the Seven Towers, and even most other people, it should be a good thing.

What Xia Duo is really worried about is not the celebration itself. There may be some "tricks" in it, but that should be aimed at the enemy, not his own people. What is really troublesome is the subsequent impact.

As the saying goes, "Misfortunes depend on blessings, blessings rest on misfortunes", just what Xia Duo can see now is at least a little too high-profile.

However, this kind of worry can easily be transformed into determination, determination to not be afraid of difficulties, break through obstacles, and finally realize your ideals.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo even felt that the storm could be made more violent.

Of course, thinking is thinking, and will and determination are will and determination. In reality, he still hopes that more things are worse than less things. After all, what he lacks most now is time for stable development.

……

Not long after, Xia Duo heard chaotic noises coming from outside. After listening carefully, it seemed that everyone had arrived and was coordinating the rehearsal process.

Does time go by so fast?But looking at the time, several hours have passed, and it didn't feel like it, so it suddenly jumped to the present.

And he hasn't gained anything from observing the demiplane!

But the collective rehearsal was about to start, and Xia Duo didn't want to delay it, lest he be called by name and lose face in front of hundreds of people.

"Niya, get ready to go out!"

"okay!"

Niya hurriedly began to sort out and put away the volumes and materials scattered on the table, while Xia Duo put away small objects such as teapots, teacups, and seats. stand up.

When he got outside, there was a real din of people. If Xia Duo hadn't cast a spell to isolate the sound before, he would have been quarreled out a long time ago.

"Master Xia Duo, this way!"

Xia Duo recognized a not-so-high familiar voice from the noisy background. He followed the voice and looked over, and Anglin, who was surrounded by a group of people, was waving at him.

Xia Duo immediately understood that according to the procedure, the reward ceremony was first, and they, the arcanists, were in the front row. Of course, except for Xia Duo, everyone else could only be reported by name.

This is also the reason why Xia Duo felt that it was too high-profile. Whether it was the award ceremony or the commendation ceremony, he was the protagonist, as if the New Year's celebration was entirely for his debut ceremony.

Too high profile.

However, Anglin called him, and he had to respond, not only to respond, but also to meet them in the past.

After all, when the group rehearses the award ceremony later, he will appear in the same group as the other six arcanists including Niya, but he will be highlighted while the others will not.

After meeting, Xia Duo couldn't help asking: "Master Anglin, how long have you been here?"

"It's been a while, it's good that you come first, and you can have a place to rest." Anglin said with a smile.

Xia Duo didn't take this seriously. This demiplane is as big as the Arcadia Square outside. Even if the temporary buildings on the edge are full, it is impossible for a student of a great arcanist to stand and wait.

After exchanging pleasantries, a majestic female voice appeared in the demiplane. This voice was very familiar to Xia Duo, who had just heard it not long ago. It was the Great Master Greta——

"The collective rehearsal begins, those who are not in the process retreat to the periphery to be a good audience, and don't make a sound!"

As soon as the voice fell, the offal square in the half-plane suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, and there was only the rustling sound of the crowd adjusting their positions according to the previously rehearsed process.

The whole square was coordinated as if it were a robot, and Xia Duo didn't dare to make a fuss in the crowd. Even if it was just a rehearsal, there was a faint sense of solemnity in his heart.

After hundreds of people took their seats in the square, a burst of euphemistic and melodious musical instruments sounded, as if it was in the ear, and it seemed to be in the distance.

Xia Duo listened carefully, and couldn't help being a little immersed in it. There was no such thing in the solo rehearsal before, but the receptionist at the time also said that there would be music.

Accompanied by music, a deep male voice began to slowly tell the origin, process, and final victory of the Green Field War.

Of course, in this process, the music also became passionate, and finally reached a climax——

"The award ceremony begins!"

Afterwards, it was the same as the previous one-person rehearsal, except that this time there were more people, and even the great arcanists, elves, and dwarf envoys appeared in the form of magical images.

It looks more formal than the previous single-player preview, and therefore, there is not too much omission in the length of time.

It took almost half an hour to complete the entire process of the award ceremony, and this was just the beginning, and the award ceremony was the highlight.

Compared with the one-hour walk before, the collective rehearsal now takes much longer.

But in any case, no matter how long it is, there will be an end after all. When Master Greta announced the end, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief.

Others were more just participating, but he was actually being stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes, and he was enduring all kinds of emotions, which made him very uncomfortable.

This is just a rehearsal. If it is a formal ceremony, there will be more people watching the ceremony.

This reminded him of the time when he married Niya at the Midsummer Festival the year before last. At that time, he was watched by countless people, and it was not like the later Midsummer Festival. no the same.

When I got married and now, I was completely watched in a weak state, without much initiative. It seemed to be beautiful, but in fact I was flustered.

With a friendly face, he nodded to the high-ranking mages who approached to say hello. In fact, Xia Duo complained wildly in his heart, how could these people have so much social enthusiasm!

Fortunately, after the collective rehearsal was over, non-pioneers could leave. Most of these high-level mages were not pioneers, and they left quickly after receiving the notice that they could leave.

Together with them, there were also a large number of mid-level mages from the Seven Towers who had participated in the battle of the green field plane. After these people left, the entire half-plane Arcadia Square was suddenly empty.

After sending Niya away from the demiplane, Xia Duo finally calmed down. He randomly found a temporary building to continue studying the demiplane while waiting for further notice from above.

It depends on what the pioneers are here to do, Xia Duo is very curious!
