"Well, all the periodicals I borrowed from you are here, and none of them have been left behind, and they will all be returned to you."

In the office of the Rune Review Office, Qi Yuan pointed to the journals stacked together like a small mountain, and his tone was brisk.

"No less is good, no less is good."

The person in charge of the audit department, the old man with glasses, opened these journals in distress, and only after finding that they were not damaged, did he put them away with pity.

Qi Yuan looked at it and smiled secretly, and deliberately asked, "Is there anything else to lend me?" ”

"It's gone, it's gone." The old man with glasses said with a bitter face, "It's really gone, my treasury is all here." ”

Qi Yuan smiled: "By the way, there is one more thing. Did I receive a response to my paper? ”

"Not yet."

The old man with glasses was also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the papers of a rune master like Qi Yuan would definitely be taken seriously. The two periodicals "Magic" and "Runes" dare not say that other small and medium-sized periodicals have always rushed to send inclusion letters.

Especially for a young rune master like Qi Yuan, who published his first public paper after becoming famous, he could generally represent some of his own concepts, which was extremely valuable.

He originally thought that within two or three days, the letters of inclusion from various journals would fly like snowflakes. But it's been so long now, not to mention the inclusion letter, and the Rune Society hasn't even replied to the paper comments.

In fact, he already had a conjecture in his heart, but in front of Qi Yuan, he didn't dare to say it......

"Maybe they've been busy lately." The old man with glasses really couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only say with a wry smile.

"Busy?" Qi Yuanhu said suspiciously: "What are you busy with?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I've heard that there has been a big move in Yohote recently!"

"What's going on?" Qi Yuan became interested.

"I heard that they have invited the world's top rune masters, transcendent magicians, transcendent knights, and other top talents from all walks of life to Barsoton's participation in a world conference."

"Rune Master? Transcendent magician? Transcendent Knights? Or the best? What do they want to do? ”

When Qi Yuan left, he was still a little depressed.

He and Tian Hanyu were the only two rune masters in Rand, and they were not invited, obviously because people didn't look down on the two of them at all.

When they returned to their lodgings, there were two soldiers waiting.

"Hello sir!"

After seeing Qi Yuan, the two soldiers saluted him in unison.

Qi Yuan frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

A soldier handed over a letter of mission in both hands, "General Qi, this is issued by the command, regarding your mandatory mission this year, please sign for it." ”

"Mandatory tasks?" Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he was recruited into the army by Li Hai as a special talent, and when he signed the contract, there was indeed a rule that he would not issue a mandatory task until his strength reached the fourth order.

After returning to the villa, Qi Yuan carefully read the mission letter.

"B-rank solo mission? Kill the Dutch spy who infiltrated Higashizawa City? ”

Seeing this mission, Qi Yuan's brows widened slightly, he was really scared of the last mission, anything could happen in the wilderness.

"Anyway, it's in the city, it shouldn't be delayed for long, let's go early and come back early." Qi Yuan shook his head, to be honest, he had a lot of things to do now, and he didn't want to spend too much time on any mandatory tasks at all.

At that moment, Qi Yuan called to apply for a helicopter. Then head straight to the airport.

……

Johate, Barsoton City.

An old man with gray hair strode into the Runetes Guild's castle with a blank expression on his face.

"President Hal.

"Vice President."

Many association managers passing by bowed their heads respectfully to greet him, and he only nodded occasionally, which was regarded as a response.

Behind the scenes, several stewards were quietly discussing.

"The vice president doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

"Be careful, old Hal has the worst temper."

The old man walked all the way back to the office, and when he saw that the faxed documents were already stuffed and dumped on the table, he couldn't help frowning and picked up the documents.

"The new version of the Association Rules, the revision of the conference process, why do you send everything to me?"

He didn't even look at it, and threw all the documents into the trash can next to him.

"Huh? And another paper? What did Tina do! Why did you send me the paper? The old man's face was already visibly unhappy.

He glanced casually at the author of the paper, the name of which he had never heard at all. When I saw the "format specification" on the title of the paper, there was a hint of sarcasm in my eyes.

"Who dares to dictate the format of runes now?" Thinking so, he opened the paper casually, ready to comment on a comment that the composition of the paper will "never forget" for the rest of his life.

The vice president of the Rune Society, personally commented on the paper, which will definitely make the author of this paper "famous in one fell swoop" in the circle of rune masters.

"Is it 'stupid' or 'arrogant'?"

The old man's mouth muttered, a little hesitant. So he decided to take a few seconds and go through the paper briefly to decide which comment was more appropriate.

After a few seconds, the old man's mouth let out a soft sigh, and he did not make a comment as originally thought. Instead, he straightened the paper, put on a pair of reading glasses, and read it carefully.

Gradually, his face became more and more excited, his eyes became hotter and hotter, and even his body trembled a little.

After reading the last sentence of the paper, the old man turned to the cover and read it again from beginning to end. After he watched it three times in a row, he sighed and sighed in a low voice: "Wonderful design, exquisite structure, meticulous logic." ”

He picked up the phone next to him, "Tina, come to my office now!" Immediately! Right away! ”

After hanging up the phone, he excitedly stood up and walked back and forth in the office.

"President Howl, are you looking for me?"

A young woman with black-rimmed eyes stood in the doorway, her tone respectful.

Hal said in an eager tone, "You go, get the author of this paper, I'm going to talk to him personally!" ”

"Yes, sir." The woman named Tina softly agreed, turned away, and a few minutes later, she returned, with a document in hand.

"People from the land of the Rand?" Hal frowned and asked, "Tina, has a runemaster in Rand invited to the 'Great Council'?" ”

Tina shook her head, "Rand only has a rune master named Tian Hanyu who has a record in the association, but he doesn't have enough points to be eligible to be invited. ”

"Then you go and inform me, I must see this person!"

Hal said without hesitation.

At this time, the helicopter that Qi Yuan was riding had already landed at the military airfield in Dongze City.
