When she learned that the Black Sea Lord would be hosting a dinner at the Palace of Evelyn on March 15 to celebrate the heir's promotion to the third order of bronze, Erica began to prepare, say, a suitable gift.

As the administrative head and top head of the Black Sea Office of Eternal Tides, she was naturally invited by Sandra.

At 25 o'clock in the evening, Erica showed up in the banquet hall of the Palace of Evelyn on time in a beautiful magic gown, more dignified than ever.

As she thought, almost all the characters with heads and faces in the Black Sea appeared here.

The high-ranking family mage of the Nepton family, the two captains of the Ice Peak Praetorian Guard, the three captains of the Black Sea Knights, the speaker of the Black Sea Regional Council, the high-ranking official of the Evelyn Palace (you can't become a high-ranking official without enough strength), and the president of the Black Sea Branch of the Mage Alliance......

Of course, there are other representatives from the major powers of the kingdom.

The tall, ruffian-looking young four-armed Naga was a representative of the Schneider family, named Maximilian, a rare dominant bloodliner.

If nothing else, he will definitely be a bronze fourth-order knight in the future.

The beautiful woman Naga he spoke to was a representative of the Schulz family, Martina, also a very good young Naga, who was about to be promoted to the third rank.

But the two of you are fruitless, and it's useless to have a good chat, Erica allowed herself to make a little joke, after all, one of them has always intermarried within the family, and the other is a precious dominant bloodline, and there is no possibility of union.

If Sandra hadn't been forced into exile because of the power struggle, she wouldn't have been married to Leonhard, who was born in a family of blood knights, and now she should be living in the Evelyn House with another outstanding male member from the Heinrich family.

On the other side of the banquet hall, Erica found the representative of the Kleiman family in the Inuit Trench, a four-armed Naga with a blank face, also a third-order bloodline knight.

- Erica is recognized by the family crest on the other party's chest, and it is a compulsory course for them to identify the badges of the major families in the kingdom.

Like all Deep Sea Naga, this Kleiman family member is larger than the usual Tidal Naga, with a seventeen-foot tail that stands out throughout the ballroom, and the tail end is the typical oar-like side of the Deep Naga instead of the slender whip of the Tidal Naga.

Erica smiled, her usually slightly curved lips turned into a beautiful arc, and stepped forward to talk.

Although the Kleiman family line may not be used for the rest of their lives, who would dislike having too many connections?

"Another outstanding heir after the Lord of the Black Sea, isn't it? At only 24 years old, he was promoted to the third rank of bronze, and the Nepton family has always been favored by the goddess of the sea, which is really enviable. ”

"Princess Anna, Maximilian, Emma, they are three of the best people of the younger generation. ”

"Who's to say it's not - Erica Weber, Head of Administration at the Black Sea Office of Eternal Tides. ”

"Pera Kleiman, working for the family. ”

The two four-armed nagas each extend a mid-arm handshake – in Naga etiquette, the simultaneous use of the mid-arm handshake represents an equal conversational relationship.

Although Pera did not specify her position in the family, being sent to a dinner party hosted by Sandra was enough to see that her status would not be ordinary.

A large dinner hosted by the Black Sea Lord like this is an important social occasion in itself, and it is a good opportunity to meet different talents from different families, different forces, different fields and their own equals, and accumulate contacts.

Maybe it's just a nod at the banquet, but it's enough to serve as a business card for in-depth exchanges in the future.

Half a minute later, a heavyweight appeared at the banquet.

Krystal Nepton, one of the ten permanent members of the Eternal Tidal Magic Council, is an archmage who is well-versed in the water elemental faction and the spell faction.

Before attending the banquet, Erica never expected to meet a big man in the headquarters of Eternal Tides here, who was the permanent director and one of the supreme powers and managers of Eternal Tides.

A local administrator like her can only be regarded as the second echelon in the eternal tide, and only when she enters the headquarters of Hasima can she truly enter the first echelon.

If you can show your face in front of Krystel at this banquet and leave a good impression, maybe you can really enter the headquarters in the future.

As for the position of permanent member, Erica has never had the luxury of expecting it, it is too far away from her.

However, before Erica gets dressed and prepares to step forward for a conversation, it is keenly apparent from Krystel's actions that she has chosen to appear at the banquet at this time for another purpose - to welcome the arrival of a heavyweight guest.

Who deserves to be greeted personally by a permanent member of the Eternal Tides, a Bronze Fourth Order Professional?

The answer was soon revealed.

Appearing at the door of the ballroom was a male four-armed naga holding an eight-headed scepter—eight sea serpents in the shape of a large pearl—followed by two paladins wearing the sacred emblem of the sea.

"High Priest Finrod!"

"The Lord of the Black Sea has actually invited all the high priests of Finrod. ”

The status of the Sea Temple in the Naga Kingdom is very transcendent, and they generally do not easily intervene in the world, and their main job is to promote and maintain the belief of the goddess of the sea in the main physical plane, and stand side by side with the royal power and the eternal tides.

The Black Sea Diocese is a large diocese of the Naga Kingdom, and its status is also higher than other large dioceses such as Banda Sea, North Sea, Inuit Trench, etc., second only to the Diocese of Hasima.

As the supreme head of the Black Sea Diocese, High Priest Finrod is a high-ranking priest who usually cultivates in the temple, and only walks out of the temple to preside over the annual sacred ceremony during the annual sea god festival.

Suffice it to say, the arrival of High Priest Finrod raised the level of the dinner by an entire level.

"For the sake of the Goddess of the Sea, it's not easy to invite you to a banquet, Finrod. ”

"It's as surprising to see you in the Black Sea at this time, Crystelle. ”

The two mages and priests, who were also bronze fourth-order, made a veneer salute and walked inside together.

"No wonder Director Krystal needs to greet him personally, it turns out to be High Priest Finrod!"

Erica quickly hid the uncalm part of her face, but she still had some doubts in her heart.

"According to etiquette, the corresponding High Priest of Finrod is the Black Sea Lord Sandra, and even if she does not greet her personally, it should be Leonhard, who is also a Bronze Fourth Order. Why is it the Director of Crystal who is supposed to be at the headquarters of Eternal Tides?"

"Or is there something going on that I don't know about?"

Erica soon had no time to guess at the hidden meaning behind this simple act, as the Black Sea Lord came out with her husband Leonhard, daughter Emma, and son Talos.

The dinner officially began.
