The hero of the full-time mage

Chapter 119 Banquet
The banquet on the eve of the monthly competition was initiated by Lin Yuan, the eldest son of the Lin family.

Among the outstanding young mages of Lin Yuan's generation, super-level is no longer the standard that is left behind.

Many people have achieved the achievements of small town councilors and leaders of the small mage group, and the core members are even more outstanding.

Let’s not talk about Zhan Kong, who has already fully cultivated both systems.

As the eldest son, Lin Yuan has already begun to take over the family's resources.

And Kang Tomb, the son of the first judge of the Imperial Capital Trial Council, has already become popular in the Imperial Capital Trial Council.

For such a banquet initiated by a circle with huge social resources, most of the people who were invited felt honored.

In any case, seeing the demeanor of the trendsetters of the times with your own eyes, you can always go back to your own circle and blow it up.

If you meet a boss who is willing to support you, it is an opportunity, no matter how big or small, it will always make your current life better.

The team of Pearl Academy attending the banquet was led by Dongfang Lie from the Dongfang Family.

He is the number one in the Fire Academy, and he is also from an aristocratic family, and now the Eastern aristocratic family is actually a family under the Tang family in Hangzhou.

In the eyes of the top three students of other colleges with ordinary backgrounds, they can be regarded as people with a little background.

There are a total of eight people on their side, which is quite a number, and they can almost sit at a table.

Nowadays, he only rents a car when he comes to Endless City, and Dongfang Lie asked the housekeeper in his family to take care of these things.

The children of such a family can still give orders and don't care about such chores. The housekeeper will also consider the venue and arrange a better 9-seater commercial vehicle.

However, although the privilege is small, other people also expressed their compliments and envy when they boarded the car, which made Dongfang Lie feel relieved for a while.

They went early, and it was not yet six o'clock when they arrived at the place, and the banquet started at seven o'clock.

After getting out of the car, Dongfang Lie started to walk in, when a voice beside him stopped him: "Dongfang Lie."

Dongfang Lie looked over there and recognized that the other party was Bai Ji from the Bai family in the capital city.

"People from your family are here?" Dongfang Lie walked over, and other students followed behind him.

"Come on, we came from several families. We didn't even have a seat when we came so late. It's hard to save face." Bai Ji shrugged.

"Isn't it? Is your cousin not here?" Dongfang Lie thought Bai Ji was joking.

Although he and Bai Ji are not in the direct lineage, they are relatively close to the lineage of the family. Bai Ji's cousin is Bai Kun, the successor of the younger generation of the Bai family.

"Of course Brother Kun is here, and all the current leaders are here."

Bai Ji knew what Dongfang Lie meant. He looked at the school students behind Dongfang Lie, thought for a while and felt that it was nothing to say, so he continued:
"However, in the last few sessions, we haven't had big bosses here in Shanghai. The cousins ​​and the inner circle don't really get along well. Anyway, our aristocratic families also occupy two tables, so we should keep our attitude low. Come early."

Dongfang Lie nodded ignorantly. Seeing this, Bai Ji smiled and said, "Dongfang Lie, you don't know which circle I'm talking about."

Dongfang Lie blushed a little when he said this, and said quickly: "Why don't I know, aren't they the people from Mr. Lin's class?"

It was as if he hadn't said this, Bai Ji immediately knew that Dongfang Lie hadn't figured out the way inside.

However, the banquet started early, and it was still idle, Bai Ji didn't mind educating Dongfang Lie and the students behind him about popular science, bragging about it, and also showing the knowledge of the children of the Shanghai family.

He added: "What you are talking about is the third circle from the front. Mr. Lin is the most famous now. You may have heard of the presiding judge of Kang Tomb in the imperial capital, but in fact the boss of that year is Zu Shi. Zu Xingyi, the second elder brother of the aristocratic family, is a student of Chief Hua, but he is still dormant now after encountering some troubles."

Dongfang Lie really didn't know this, their Dongfang family was a local family, and he didn't have any circles to get in touch with it.

He didn't expect Bai Ji to know such detailed information, his curiosity was aroused, and he immediately pushed Bai Ji to the open space next to him, intending to let him talk about it.

The other students, as if they were looking for the secrets of the wealthy family, echoed a few words with Brother Ji, and formed a circle to listen to the story.

The atmosphere of storytelling came, and Bai Ji lit another cigarette. He came out to smoke, and then continued:
"After talking about the circle, we will count down to the second session. The boss is Wang Wen, whose surname is Wang. Get it, the son of Chief Wang of the Northern Army Department. This session is actually not much better than that of Mr. Lin. , it’s just relatively low-key. But the inner circle is all people from the imperial capital.”

"And then there was the last session, but last time I heard from my cousins ​​that there was actually no absolute leader, plus their accumulation was not enough, this time the protagonists are still the previous two sessions."

Dongfang Lie patted Bai Ji and said, "You guys know quite a lot."

"Of course. By the way, if you bring so many people, you should go in quickly. Someone will arrange a seat over there. Explain to him where you can sit. In fact, there are enough seats. My cousin and the others mainly want to sit. Come forward."

Bai Ji looked at Dongfang Lie and his group, but didn't say anything to invite them to sit together.

This made Dongfang Lie a little embarrassed, as if he suddenly became inferior.

Originally, it was his cousin's special request that he bring people from the academy together, and it was said that there should be more people sitting together.

But now Dongfang Lie wondered if his cousin, like himself, didn't understand the situation and regarded this place as a banquet in Hangzhou.

Dongfang Lie was too embarrassed to tell Bai Ji what happened, so he nodded and prepared to go directly to the hotel.

When Dongfang Lie was about to leave, Bai Ji still asked, "Dongfang Lie, do you want me to take you there?"

Dongfang Lie thought about it, and felt that Bai Ji might know a little better than himself, so he accepted his kindness and said, "That's troublesome."

Bai Ji didn't have any other ideas. On this occasion, they are all from the Magic City Department.

He then pinched out the half-smoked cigarette, and led Dongfang Lie to the main banquet hall on the fourth floor.

After entering from the hall, a spacious and bright banquet hall appears in front of you.

The scale of one hundred tables is that the classical and elegant dining tables and chairs constitute a chaotic but orderly scene.

Now there are not too many people in the banquet hall, some are waiting on the seats, and some are standing and chatting aside.

Bai Ji took Dongfang Lie to the host who arranged the seats and began to communicate, but Dongfang Lie was still hesitating whether to talk about his cousin.

"A student from Pearl Institute, right?" The host quickly understood the situation and asked Dongfang Lie.

Dongfang Lie could only nod his head.

"This way please." The host stretched out his hand in one direction, and then brought Dongfang Lie and his group to an empty table.

There are about ten rows in the entire square banquet hall, and it is easy to count on their side, the second to last row.

If you didn't listen to what Bai Ji said at the beginning, and didn't think in the direction that position represents status, it's actually fine.

But now not only Dongfang Lie, but other students also feel a little bit overwhelmed, especially now that there are few people, they are sitting in the last few rows, feeling a little bit of being publicly executed.

Fortunately, at this time Dongfang Lie's cousin Dongfang Lin came, and he walked to Dongfang Lie's side and said:
"Cousin, why did you arrange the seats yourself? Take your classmates to sit with us."

The host asked at this time: "Mr. Lin, do the students here also sit in the seats of the Tang family?"

"correct."

"This way, please." The hosts led the people into the depths of the banquet hall.

And Bai Ji stabbed Dongfang Lie before he took a step forward: "Damn it, brother, we made arrangements in advance, why didn't we say so earlier."

Dongfang Lie had no choice but to apologize and said with a smile: "I don't know what my cousin meant, I thought it was just letting us sit casually."

Bai Ji wasn't really angry: "Okay, I'll know what's going on as soon as your cousin says it, so you guys go sit down, I'll continue smoking."

But Dongfang Lie didn't understand what Bai Ji said, so he had no choice but to ask his cousin.

Dongfang Lin had no choice but to explain: "The organizer has reserved five tables for the Tang family, and we are responsible for filling them up. It's as simple as that."

"Five tables, so many?" Dongfang Lie asked in surprise.

"It's in the middle, but it's for the Tang family's face. I don't know if Young Master Tang will come or not, but he will sit in the front if he comes. We will arrange these tables for us." Dongfang Lin laughed. After he arranged the people, he went to work on other things.

But after Dongfang Lin left, the people in the Pearl Academy felt a little embarrassed to sit in the middle of the seat, and most of them planned to wait for more people before coming back for the reason of looking around.

And next to them, the leaders of the Four Great Families of the Demon City who are still sitting in the back row, the leaders of the Four Great Families, Mujia Muhua and Baijia Baikun, all saw Dongfang Lin sitting in front with a group of students from the academy. .

In fact, position is a very deep knowledge. For example, now, a few people will not feel that they are inferior to the students in the previous school, but know that they are in the favor of the Tang family and will turn their attention to the Tang family. Influence.

"This generation should be Tang Jin, and it's the turn of the devil to lead the generation." Bai Kun said.

"Actually, Tang Jin is not as good as Zu Xingyi and Wang Wen compared to his background. I feel that with his current status, there must be a struggle behind it that we don't know about." Mu Hua also said.

"I said you two, after your family joined the East China Sea Alliance, you started to follow the team consciously?" Lu Pingsheng of the Lu family said.

"Just to be honest, Young Master Tang didn't have to follow the route of our generation like the first two, and everyone was directly included together. To be honest, I think it's awesome, but I don't know how to do it? "Bai Kun pouted and said.

"Isn't there a rumor that he is Chief Hua's?" Lu Pingsheng said
"Ahem...be cautious." Mu Hua felt that Lu Pingsheng was the most unreliable in this generation, and this thing can talk nonsense on this occasion?
When Ai Tutu at the next table heard this, she wanted to gossip with Tang Jin, but instead she whispered to Mù Nujiao:

"I feel that when I get along with Tang Jin, he is just ordinary, and he doesn't seem to be as amazing as he said to them."

Mù Nujiao rolled her eyes and didn't speak. The 20-year-old super-level Ai Tutu called this ordinary.

She should continue to observe with Mu Nuxin whether there are grassroots mages suitable for absorption into the family.

……

Most people arrive at the banquet hall between 06:30 and [-]:[-].

The people from Lin Yuan's side came relatively early, they are the organizers, so they don't pay much attention to the status of coming out later.

Until [-]:[-], Young Master Wang brought a large group of people to the scene, and the front row was almost full.

Ai Tutu saw Ai Jiangtu among the crowd and waved to him.

And Ai Jiangtu didn't expect Ai Tutu to take Mu's car and run to Endless City again.

But it was all here, he walked to Ai Tutu's table and asked her if she wanted to go over and say hello to Wang Wen.

In fact, Wang Wen's circle is the circle of children who grew up in the compound of the Northern Military Headquarters, and many of them have played with Ai Tutu.

And Ai Tutu pulled Mù Nujiao together, and the two followed Ai Jiangtu to the first row.

As soon as Wang Wen finished his seat, he saw Ai Tutu approaching. He smiled gently and said, "Tutu, long time no see. You've become a big girl."

"Hello, Brother Wang." Ai Tutu said obediently.

"You two, let Princess Min arrange it. Jiang Tu will sit with us." Wang Wen simply arranged without caring who the other girl next to Ai Tutu was.

Princess Min is Min Qing, the second daughter of Mr. Min who is in charge of the staff department.

Seeing that she and Mù Nujiao were arranged in front, Ai Tutu stuck out her tongue at Mù Nujiao, but Mù Nujiao didn't care, so she just got to know the circle.

The two were arranged to sit aside, and at this time Wang Wen had already started talking about serious business.

"Young Master Wang, I really didn't expect Zu Xingyi to appear before I came here. I thought he had been dormant for so long, and the first time he showed up would be a shocking scene."

The speaker was Zhou Kai, the son of the president of the Northridge Magic Association and now a super-level councilor.

After Zhou Kai finished speaking, most of the people at the table glanced at Zu Xingyi who was just a few tables away. Lin Yuan, Kang Mu and some of their old competitors were there.

The leaders of their two terms happened to be one south and one north, and it is normal to compare each other.

"If Zu Xingyi is present, Lin Yuan's reason for such a big battle is worth deliberating."

Zhang Jianfeng, the No. [-] person on Wang Wen's side, said that his family and Ai's family had similar status.

"Look at Lin Yuan's next speech. It's okay to set up the stage, but not to occupy the stage." Wang Wenyan said succinctly.

But when Wang Wen finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table changed.

"If there is a fight, the tomb of Kang will be handed over to me this time. I got a little heavenly seed in northern Xinjiang some time ago, and I should be able to entangle him." Zhang Jianfeng said.

"Yo, brother Feng is fine, then there is no pressure, the boss doesn't need to make a move." Zhou Kai said, and everyone at the table laughed in unison.

Occasional disputes between them and Lin Yuan were due to the lack of Zu Xingyi on Lin Yuan's side. Although they were a year younger, the actual difference in strength was not that big.

Lin Yuan's most capable opponent is Kang Tomb. If Zhang Jianfeng can entangle Kang Tomb, then their confidence will be much stronger even if it is a verbal battle this time.

And Lin Yuan seemed to feel the hostility from Wang Wen's camp from a distance.

"How about it, Wang Wen should have improved again, can you still stand it?" Lin Yuan asked Kang Mu.

A year ago, Kang Tomb and Wang Wen had a brief tentative fight, and Wang Wen had been subtly suppressing Kang Tomb at that time.

"Why do I feel that I should be the one asking you, didn't you accept a little heavenly seed? Zhang Jianfeng, can you handle it?" Kang Tomb said angrily.

"You two think I don't exist?" Zhan Kong laughed seeing this.

Lin Yuan and Kang Mu looked at each other and nodded. If they have no strength, they have no right to speak. Their boss is now useless and useless.

Zhan Kong smiled helplessly, and let them go, anyway, they could be regarded as mutual encouragement.

In the past, he had the kind of thought of giving up to me, but now it has faded a lot. Except for Qin Yu'er, he doesn't care much about other things.

As for Qin Yu'er's matter involving the Disciplinary Court, it's not easy to talk about it on this occasion. He has to communicate with Lin Yuankang's tomb alone at night.

These years have passed, and everyone has formed a combination of interests based on the friendship at that time.

In particular, it was not easy for the two partners, Lin Yuan and Kang Mu, to keep the group alive.

But at this time, if you still want to use everyone's strength to fight against the Abnormal Court, it's not like just relying on loyalty.

Everyone has a lot of shackles and responsibilities. If he wants to morally kidnap everyone to fight against the Court of Distinction, he is not worthy to continue to be this big brother.

In fact, Zhan Kong doesn't like to calculate so much, he prefers to stick to his principles and go straight.

If it weren't for his junior brother, Zhan Kong felt that he might have gone to Tianshan to fight for it after his strength was unblocked.

If he wins, he takes Qin Yuer to flee to the end of the world, but if he loses, that's all.

But the younger brother let Zhankong see the hope of positive revenge, so for this reason he is also willing to manage power and accumulate strength.

Thinking of his junior brother, Zhan Kong looked around and found that he was not there yet.

This made Zhan Kong think too far. He didn't put his hope of saving Qin Yu'er on his junior brother Tang Jin for no reason.

But Zhan Kong really felt that Tang Jin was very powerful, and he couldn't see through it at all.

Like him and Wang Wen, in fact, the influence is mainly concentrated on the younger generation, even now, let alone when they were 20 years old.

At this time, Tang Jin was not like his backing from the family, nor like Wang Wen's authoritative father. He knew about Xuan Snake, but when compared with the background, he and Wang Wen were just average.

Such a Tang Jin, how did he manage to conquer Teacher Hua Zhanhong, so that the teacher can firmly believe that he is the hope of the next generation?
There must be a big secret in it.

And it definitely involves fields above the Forbidden Curse level.

His grandfather, Zu Huanyao, was also a forbidden curse, and Zhan Kong knew a lot about it.

He felt that the secrets of ordinary forbidden spells might not be worth Mr. Hua Zhanhong's certainty, after all, only when the military leader has a level of authority can he be stable.

So after a lot of deliberation, Zhan Kong knew that although Tang Jin was young, he was definitely a ruthless character.

As for what his secret is, Zhan Kong can't do too much research.

……

At this time, Tang Jin had just arrived at Mingzhu to pick up Mu Ningxue.

Then take Mu Ningxue and Lingling to jump to the endless city, take the normal way to the banquet restaurant, it is almost seven o'clock.

The banquet was actually not that formal, and they were not the main people, but Tang Jin took the two of them to the banquet hall by teleportation for the sake of politeness.

At seven o'clock, just in time for Lin Yuan to take the stage to give a congratulatory speech, the lights were also brought to the front.

Tang Jin was not in a hurry to take the two of them to sit down. Although he came late, he still knew what the banquet was like. The congratulatory speech was not well agreed, and a fight was possible.

However, Lin Yuan's opening was very ordinary. From the opening welcome and introduction to the main content, he was very polite and did not speak in the tone of the master.

"It's so boring." Lingling added next to her.

"Then let's go." Tang Jin actually felt that it would be more domineering to declare sovereignty when everyone's attention is here in the congratulatory speech. It seems that Lin Yuan didn't do this because he lacked confidence.

He brought Lingling and Mu Ningxue to the first row, and then Min Qing saw the three of them sharply and waved to them.

Min Yuan is the forbidden curse of Hua Zhanhong's line, and one of Tang Jin's supporters, so Tang Jin naturally visited his house and met Princess Min Er.

But he felt that Princess Min Er was a little enthusiastic today.

"That's the second princess of the chief of staff's family. I'll go to say hello. That table is full of girls. You and Lingling will sit at that table and eat later. I'll go to senior brother's table."

Tang Jin still explained to Mu Ningxue.

And Mu Ningxue actually knew that Min Qing was greeting her, but she didn't tell Tang Jin, so she followed him to Min Qing's table.
