Ibel has never come to see her since the last time she "blocked the door" and Kristen ran away. Even though there are not many mages in the Mages Guild, for this group of people, they can stay in the library or laboratory for several hours. Even for people who have spent more than ten hours, the probability of encountering it by chance is not high.

The latest news is about Ibel's promotion to the second level mage. Christine also heard that the Ibel family found her a fiancé.

Mages or apprentices don't have time to spread such gossip, but it's different for those noble ladies and ladies. It doesn't take long for something to happen in the aristocratic circle of Rennes City to spread, and the speed is comparable to the intelligence information center at the entrance of the village.

As a second-level mage and a member of the Earl of Rennes family, Ibel is naturally qualified to be the subject of discussion.

As a noble, Christine couldn't refuse some banquets, and as a mage, those noble ladies were particularly willing to tell her about Ibel's engagement. She was helpless.

.

The carriage was walking down the street. Christine was going to attend the banquet held by Ibel. As a baronet, Christian, a field noble, did not care about being promoted from the first level to the second level of mage, but for ordinary people, this was something worth celebrating.

Originally, she didn't want to participate. After all, the other friends invited by Ibel were not of high status, but the other party begged and agreed softly after thinking that they were both mages after all.

After her rebirth, she had been affected by living as a woman for so many years. In the past, even if the landslide had nothing to do with her, she would not have given it a second glance.

The banquet was held at the villa where Ibel lived. In addition to Ibel's fiancé and several friends, Christine also saw the first-order mage Nazan, who had a good relationship with Ibel.

Her arrival immediately brightened the entire banquet. Everyone stood up to salute and greet her. Except for Master Nazan, the attitude of everyone else could be said to be flattering.

The fathers of these people are only the second sons of nobles, and the highest status is equivalent to the retinue. Most of them are the second children of the family, and their status is much different.

You must know that there are only six real nobles with the title of baron or above in the entire county of Brittany, and the Kingdom of France, as one of the strongest countries on the mainland, only has 17 counties, five of which are directly under the royal family.

Of course, that is to say, she has not officially inherited the title, otherwise she would not be able to invite a baron to a banquet of this size. The rules of the nobility are sometimes very loose and sometimes very rigid.

"Christine, I'm so glad you could come."

Today Ibel wore a brand new ceremonial robe and looked particularly energetic.

Mage apprentices wear brown robes, while formal mage robes are blue, symbolizing pure magical energy. Level four and below only have patterns on the cuffs, levels five to nine will have patterns on their clothes, and levels ten to fourteen will be inlaid with magic circles. Starting from the fifteenth level, you can wear whatever style you want, no one can control it at the master level.

However, there are always many low-level mages in the mage guild. Although the ordinary robes worn in daily life are convenient, they do not show the nobility of the mage. Therefore, there are ceremonial robes. No matter the material, style, or matching accessories, they all pay attention to "expensive". Used when doing important activities.

"Congratulations, Ibel." Christine presented the gift box.

"Thank you."

On the mainland, opening a guest's gift in person is a sign of respect, so Ibel immediately opened the box and saw a first-level spell scroll of "Mage Armor" inside.

"This is too expensive."

Although Ibel said this, his expression was very happy.

Protection spells of the same level are more expensive than attack spells, so this scroll is worth fifty gold coins. The more expensive the gift you receive, the more respectable the owner is. This is why opening gifts in person is popular on the mainland.

"We are all mages, we don't have to worry about this." Kristen replied calmly.

It was because of his status as a second-level mage that Ibell dared to invite Kristine to a banquet, and she could call her by her first name, otherwise she would be addressed as "Miss Stewart".

Next, Ibel introduced the guests at the banquet to Christine. Of course, this was just for etiquette. In fact, the names of these people were not worthy of her attention.

The only male guests present were Master Nazan and Ibel's fiancé. The former often saw Kristen acting normally, but the latter was a little out of sorts, and his eyes almost grew to Kristen's body.

It’s not difficult to understand. Kristen’s appearance and voice are not only perfect, but her temperament and demeanor are also exemplary.

Baron and Mrs. Stewart are immortals. Although they look like young people, they are actually nearly a hundred years old. For such a long time, etiquette and elegance have become a habit, and Christine has cultivated it under the words and deeds of her parents since she was a child. .

The following banquet seemed to others to be very high-end, reaching the standard of a formal banquet for hereditary honorary lords, but in Christine's eyes, it was just that, not as good as her daily food.

It is no exaggeration at all. The tea that Baron Stewart received for two hundred gold coins per tea brick was just her daily drink. Lord Field was reluctant to use such expensive tea for his banquet, and it was not always possible to buy it.

Banquet etiquette does not prohibit talking during meals, but only Master Ibel and Master Nazan can chat with Christine, and no one else dares.

First, the identity gap is too big and they dare not speak for fear of being ignored and embarrassed. The second is that I don’t know what topic to choose and dare not speak, for fear of being embarrassed if I say the wrong thing.

But even so, the faces of those present could not help but reveal unconcealed happiness. After all, the other party was a baronet, and he could brag about it for half a year after he returned.

This is like a small convenience store owner who had dinner with the top six big shots in the province. He would be sorry for himself if he didn't brag about it after he went back.

It was difficult for Christine and Master Nazan to participate in other activities after the meal. After all, their identities were too different and other people couldn't let them go. However, they couldn't leave like this and embarrass the owner, so they borrowed the study room. Discuss something about magic.

Half an hour later, when Christine and Master Nazan returned to the hall, they found that Ibel was not there, so they asked the maid to invite her over, always saying goodbye in person.

After a while, the maid came back and said that Ibel asked Miss Stewart and Master Nazan to go upstairs because they had something important to say.

Although Christine was confused, considering that the other party invited herself and Master Nazan, they followed the maid upstairs together, but they did not notice that there were a few missing guests.
