Narieg City Hall, a tall and imposing building that stands in the north of the city center. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In terms of land and size, Rhodes had seen more imposing buildings and palaces in the imperial capital of Winway, but this one was different, this Great Hall did not belong to the government or the royal family of Narig, it was built by citizens with funds, supervised and operated by a public organization, anyone could rent it or part of it at the expense of anyone, and all the proceeds were used for urban construction and charitable relief.

Now, it has been taken down by the mages, because they don't know how many mage exchange conferences will be held here the day after tomorrow.

＊＊＊

"Mages", in the eyes of civilians who don't have access to them, are just a bunch of weirdos who can do tricks, but anyone with the slightest insight or source of information knows that although this group is small in number, it has an unimaginable influence on the course of history and human society.

Spells allow spellcasters to have the ability to transcend physical limitations, the extensive use of magical facilities and items has brought great convenience to everyone's lives, and the establishment of mage troops has helped humans win the protracted war between humans and beasts...... Mages often live longer than the average person, have more flexible brains, and as a corollary, greater knowledge and rigorous analytical skills, they become favored advisors and bodyguards for the elite.

Although there is no unified formal organization, mages, even the lowest magicians, are people who are respected everywhere. Even among the archmages at the top of this group, they hold a mage conference every once in a while to discuss "the future direction of magic and humanity...... Whoever or who's coming up with the initiative can easily raise enough money to support the event.

The cost of chartering this Great Hall for a whole week is a staggering amount, and Rod's small bag contains hundreds of gold coins, which is a huge amount of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but if it is used to hold this event, it will not be able to support it for half a day.

Rhodes was led into a special room for attendees in the General Assembly Hall, where they did not have to pay or be inspected because they had invitations. Dieter told him to stay in the room of the guild hall and not run around, and sent Grom to keep an eye on him—a real star, not a loose guard. Roy's magical teaching to Silver also stopped, and instead, she met secretly in her room with Dieter, Victor and others during the day, and prepared a presentation at the conference at night...... The boy instinctively felt as if something big was going to happen, but no matter how he asked, Roy only said that it was to protect his safety, so he stopped asking several times, and his family would not harm him.

......

The hall is equipped with all the magic facilities it should have, the air is always flowing smoothly and fresh, the temperature is always maintained at a comfortable level, and the rooms are even more upscale than their own homes. Rhodes had guessed that the mage's gathering must be different from that of ordinary people, but it didn't seem to be any of the unexpected—except that almost all of the people who lived in it were mages.

Young and handsome male mage, young and beautiful female mage, mature and stable male mage, young and beautiful female mage, male mage with white beard, and young and beautiful female mage...... After spending a day in the Great Hall, Rhodes had seen more mages than he had in the last sixteen years combined, and what he had seen and heard confirmed an earlier impression that the male mages had their own looks and dresses, while the female mages were all young, beautiful and fashionably dressed, and he was surprised to find that his sister was the most conservatively dressed in the entire building.

On the last day before the conference, more than ninety percent of the invitees had arrived. As with every large party in the past, as soon as the teenager ran into the field of view of outsiders, he was molested and sexually innubited by the opposite sex, not only greatly increased in degree and frequency, but also almost unabashedly...... The female mages apparently regarded him as a male mage in attendance, and they were completely unreserved in front of their peers, "each according to what he needs and happy with each other", as one of the female mages herself said, and was apparently recognized by most of the participants.

As far as Rhodes could see, many of the male and female mages, apparently meeting for the first time or for the first time, left the public with their arms in their arms after a few pleasant conversations...... If Roy hadn't told him it was a mage conference, he would have almost thought it was a mage mating conference.

(No wonder Roy's teacher refused to participate.) ）

Only then did Rhodes feel that he was indeed just a child, and he didn't understand much about the world of "adults" for the time being. With politeness, he carefully restrained the attraction in his body and declined all invitations and offers of "private communication", not because he was unimpressed, but because he was really mentally handicapped in the face of a group of female mages of unknown age - it was almost certain that some of these female mages who looked so young and beautiful must be old enough to be his grandmother.

The only thing that made him breathe a sigh of relief was that this was not really a mating meeting after all, and the basic respect between people was well maintained by the mages, and the female mages who were politely rejected did not pester him or show displeasure, but smiled and turned to find other fun. As a group of people who live for more than 100 years on average, mages are much more sensible and wise than ordinary people while they are open-minded.

Intrigued, he went to the lower Roy room in the evening to see if his sister would also participate in the mage's indulgence and enjoyment before the conference, only to find that she was still seriously preparing her report and speech.

......

"Why are you so serious, I think the other mages are here to do nonsense, what's the point of this kind of activity? In addition to wasting money to promote the local economy?" Rod sat down at the small round table, and couldn't help but feel sorry for his family: "I suspect that no one will listen to your carefully prepared report tomorrow." ”

Roy put down what he was holding and smiled, "You think too much." Guess how many mages there are in the world, if the apprentices are not counted, and it is quite rare to be able to gather the best tenths of them together and let them come into contact with their own peers of the same level in the same field. No matter how outrageous the participants are today, you can't tell them that they're going to treat the conference tomorrow as child's play. Roy patiently explained, "The Mage Exchange Conference officially starts at eight o'clock tomorrow, and even if it is the last minute before eight o'clock, it is still personal time...... It's up to you to spend it with whomever you want, but when eight o'clock arrives, you'll find that all the attendees have become decent and serious invitees to the Mage Exchange Conference. ”

"It's the same as it really is, how can you be sure?"

"I know a lot of seniors who have participated in the exchange conference. Roy smiled softly and looked at his brother with his chin raised: "Don't you love to play, why don't you go to the carnival outside?"

"Didn't you also participate, what do you mean that I love to play, who hasn't done anything yet. Rod pouted dissatisfiedly: "Forget it, you're busy, I'll go back." ”
