Following.

A few people went to the banquet.

The banquet was held in the Tianhan Palace, which began two hundred years ago, following the etiquette of the nobles of the old era. According to the general feast, there are 99 banquet tables, 88 cows, 108 sheep, and 300 bottles of wine for basic consumption. Before the banquet, the lord's throne was first placed, and the crystal inlaid banquet table was set up, followed by the purple gold banquet table of the generals and ministers. Finally, on the east and west sides of the Tianhan Palace, the banquet tables of the guests are set up, which is closest to the main table, and the status is the most respectful.

Before the banquet, the ceremonial officials set the table and the number of containers, meat, and wine according to the name of the minister attending the banquet, according to the title and status. During the banquet, the people who go to the banquet must wear formal clothes, arrange according to the rank of the knight, and when the auspicious time comes, the bells and drums sound in unison, and the Tianhan Hall plays music. Surrounded by eight attendants, the lord entered the hall and sat down, and the music gradually stopped.

The lord was 60 years old, but from the outside, he was only in his thirties and forties. During the day, he was seven feet tall, his body was relatively well-proportioned, his temples were slightly white, he wore a purple python robe, a sword hung from his waist, an eagle hooked nose, his facial features were upright, his eyes were very sharp, and his body was filled with a terrifying domineering aura.

A ceremonial official respectfully prostrated himself at His Highness, opened his voice and shouted: "Tell your lordship, the guests have arrived outside the palace!"

Bai Tianxing knocked on the Zijin handrail: "Let's start." ”

Three salutes roared, the salute band operated, and in bursts of majestic and magnificent vocal music, the guests were led into the hall from one to one, stepping through the red wide stalls, and entering the magnificent hall. They saluted the lord and then sat down, while the attendants stood beside them, pouring tea and wine.

"Lord Muyun, please be seated!"

The beautiful maid poured tea for her, and waited respectfully, according to the rules, the banquet had not yet begun, and it was not allowed to drink yet.

Mu Yun looked at the sumptuous food at the banquet table, as well as the extremely luxurious and not elegant scene, and became a little interested in the lord in his heart.

The Northern Empire fell apart, the etiquette of the human race was completely chaotic, and there were few people in the entire northern continent who were in charge of etiquette and morality, but this lord looked old-fashioned, and the banquets still strictly followed the pattern of the imperial nobility. This may seem like asking for trouble, but it actually has a deep meaning. The Northern Empire was divided into a divided situation, and the common people were displaced by wars all year round, so it was natural that they missed their homeland immensely.

The Lord of the Silver Snow Domain deliberately restrains himself with the old rites, which is actually a kind of political show, which fully expresses his respect and affirmation for his homeland, and shows his position and aspirations, and tries to win the reputation of the people at the bottom in a world where the war is torn, the law and rituals collapse, and the bottom line is completely empty.

Mu Yun's position was relatively high, and Mu Ying'er and Qin Yue were far behind.

Mu Yun's status is obviously higher.

Bai Xing sat on the throne in a flat manner, raised his hand gently, and the audience was quiet, and Bai said in a slow and sonorous voice: "I am very happy that you have come to the banquet, and your talent and dedication have made the Silver Snow Domain thrive." Today, we have taken another historic step, the ancient goblin secret realm has been deciphered by the scholars of our domain, and thus it has completely become the bag of the Silver Snow Domain!"

After the lord finished speaking, the ceremonial officer immediately walked out with a luxurious gold silk scroll, untied and stretched the scroll slowly, and then read it aloud in a somewhat sharp voice: "Receive the main purpose, reward according to merit: Medicine City Yao Yuanming, kill the enemy domain demon scorpion, kill the Red Moon Chief Envoy Hunting Cloud, outstanding meritorious service, and at the same time advanced earth magician, congratulations, specially awarded the Amethyst Noble Medal, a bounty of 20,000, the city lord of Medicine City, the term of office is three years!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Yao Yuanming was directly sealed by the city lord, which can really be described as a step to the sky!

Bai Xing obviously wants to reuse Yao Yuanming, and at the same time use Yao Yuanming to consolidate the relationship with his ally Yao Clan!

Yao Yuanming stood up and respectfully thanked him, accepting the lord's reward, and there were a few people who knew the inside story, all of whom showed solemn expressions at this moment. Yao Yuanming will become more and more difficult to deal with, originally Yao Yuanming had the support of the medicine clan, and now he was named the city lord by Bai Bai Xing, if Yao Yuanming's identity is pierced, then Bai Yuan Xing will also have a dull face, which will seriously affect the prestige of the lord.

Qin Yue hated Yao Yuanming so much that her teeth itched.

It doesn't matter if he sleeps in the wind, in fact, with his temper, he doesn't have to worry about other people's feelings, just say it directly. It's just that the current occasion and the current location, no one will believe it if he wants to say it, and it will disrupt the whole banquet, he is a troublesome person, and it has nothing to do with himself.

The celebrant continued to read out the award.

Yao Yuanming, Jin Mu, Yuntian, Bai Undefeated, Lei Yi...... This group of people were commended and rewarded.

"Baicheng Muyun, in the exploration of the ancient secret realm, brave and great, for the silver snow region to rescue a large number of precious documents, the super rye seeds invented in February, now have achieved initial results, is being promoted on a large scale, effectively solve the problem of millions of hungry people, should be awarded to Zhongshan. Specially awarded the Order of Noble Pure Gold, a bounty of 10,000, the title of Sage, and the Honorary Commander of the Military Arts!"

"Baicheng Qin Yue, in the exploration of the ancient secret realm, because of his profound knowledge, he was able to translate ancient goblin texts and made a significant contribution to the exploration of the secret realm. He managed the Yunyue Studio, and made outstanding contributions to the development of the Daoist world and the improvement of border stability. Special award of the Order of Mithril Noble, a bounty of eight thousand, and the title of Sage!"

“......”

There was another commotion.

Mu Yun and Qin Yue were named sages together!

This "sage" is not only a title, but also a great honor, the people who have won the title of sage in the past few decades are all highly respected masters, among which the qualifications are more than ordinary masters are not qualified, and Mu Yun at the age of seventeen, it is unprecedented to obtain the title of sage. When a warlock is given the title of Sage, it is equivalent to a nobleman of transcendent status, free access to the confidential contents of the library, and free use of the official research institute.

Sages are not bound by ordinary laws, even if they commit serious crimes, not treason or defection to the enemy, most of these unforgivable crimes can be directly exempted. If the sage has done something particularly excessive, it has reached the point where it can no longer be tolerated, and the city lord has no direct trial qualifications, so he can only be temporarily placed under house arrest, and then apply to the sage tower to be deprived of the title, if the sage tower's high-level agrees to seize the sage sneak attack, the city lord is qualified to judge the sage who has committed a felony crime.

This is the privilege of the sage!

Mu Yun became a sage at a young age, and no matter what he did, he was like a fish in water.

Although in the eyes of everyone, this was a supremely glorious good thing, Qin Yue was keenly aware of some details.

In Bai Xing's personal decree, there is a sentence about Mu Yun's supply and demand description, which is called "rescuing a large number of precious documents for the Silver Snow Domain", which is a bit intriguing. When Mu Yun left the Heaven Covering Beast Research Institute, he did take out all the information in the research institute and asked the Heaven Covering Beast to swallow into the body space and take it away. Mu Yun's purpose for taking away the information, but he didn't think about handing it over at all.

A sentence in the daytime line reward seems to be unintentional, but it is actually intentional, and it is given on the spot.

Qin Yue was a little unhappy in her heart, she didn't say before exploring the secret realm that individuals must hand over items if they find them, but now because the goblin secret realm has been destroyed once, the Heaven Covering Beast Research Institute has been shattered, and at the same time it has been buried deep in the ground for I don't know how many meters, and there are many places that have been damaged by pouring magma, and now the lord has hit Mu Yun with his idea.

Mu Yun didn't seem to hear it, but he was still calmly drinking tea.

The banquet officially began.

The band played again, the atmosphere was lively, and the crowd was less restrained, and everyone let go of drinking and eating meat. Bai Xing is not a person who talks a lot, more often, he observes, from beginning to end, the food and wine at the city lord's table hardly touches a few sips. Bai Xing's gaze always lingered on the people of His Highness, and his deep eyes showed an unusual color.

The dinner ended in a lively atmosphere.

As soon as Mu Yun and Qin Yue went out, they received an invitation to the "Sage Tower", which is an organization composed of sages, which can be traced back to the imperial period at the earliest, and came out together with the sage title. This "Tower of the Sage" used to be the ultimate institution of the Northern Empire, and almost all the discoveries of the Divine Dao came from it. However, the collapse of the empire has caused the Tower of the Philosopher to be divided.

Now there are "Sage Towers" in various regions, and there are occasional circulation between sages, but in fact, the "Sage Towers" have long been privatized by the local government, and the "Sage Towers" have become the most powerful warlock teams in the hands of the lords.

Mu Yun naturally wants to go to the Sage Tower to report!

The Sage Tower was built not far from the castle, and the whole tower was thirty stories high, and the total number of sages was less than eighty. The Sage's Tower is generally inhabited by the Sage's students or assistants. The Sage Tower is very rich in books, and there are four spell testing grounds built around it, with a total of more than 100 laboratories, the investment is not small, but it is completely worth it.

The R&D capabilities of the Tower of the Philosophers are very strong, and they solve many problems for the territory every year

"Welcome to join the Sage Tower!" Several receptionists came out to greet him, handed the sage badge and identity certificate to Mu Yun, and took Mu Yun to visit, one of the warlocks said as he walked, "You will meet the sage sitting in the tower soon, and he will lead the two to complete the rest of the audit of entering the tower." ”

Several warlocks led Mu Yun into a laboratory.

The two elders were busy in it, about sixty years old, one was fatter and the other was thinner, the fat old man was called Bai Haifeng, and the thin old man was called Nalan Li. Bai Haifeng must be a member of the Bai family, needless to say Nalan Li, it must be from the Nalan family.

"Are you Mu Yun?" Nalan Li saw Mu Yun appear, showing a contemptuous and disdainful expression: "Sages have been given since ancient times, and only people with both ability and political integrity are awarded, but today they give the title to two milky guys, and the lord's actions are detrimental to the image of the Sage Tower!"

Qin Yue's heart was slightly angry.

Nalan Li continued: "Although you are not qualified to enter the Sage Tower with your slightest trick, since the lord personally opened the back door for you, the old man has nothing to say. You send us the information you got from the secret realm, and then you can go!"

His attitude was arrogant.

Qin Yue couldn't help but sneered and said: "The world says that the Sage Tower is an academic holy place, but as soon as I came in, I met an old man who didn't know what to do, and it seems that the Sage Tower is nothing more than that." If we don't enter this kind of place, we can't go in!"

Nalan Li was furious: "What did you say?"

"Rest the wrath, rest the wrath. Bai Haifeng came out to play a round and immediately said to Qin Yue: "In this way, Lord Lord learned that during the exploration of the secret realm, the two of them obtained a large number of ancient goblin clan's science and technology, so he specially set up a special research department in the Sage Tower, and invited the best warlocks in the whole domain to jointly decipher the complex and profound ancient knowledge, in order to make it reappear in the world as soon as possible." Please rest assured, my lord has made a special promise that as long as the knowledge is published, the two of you will still get part of the copyright!"

Nalan Li snorted coldly and said: "You better be obedient and hand over the things, people's good luck will not always be with you, some things are too heavy, and people like you can possess them." ”

Mu Yun and Qin Yue glanced at each other.

All right.

One with a white face and one with a red face, the Bai people pretend to be good people, and the Nalan family plays bad people, in fact, there is only one purpose, to use coercion and temptation to make Mu Yun call things out, that's all.

Qin Yue knew that behind the Sage Tower was the figure of the lord, but because of the identity of the lord, Bai Xing couldn't come out in person to ask the two for it, so he sent the two into the Sage Tower, and then borrowed the Sage Tower to ask for information. If the two don't give it, it will violate the interests of the lord, and this matter is not as simple as imagined.

Qin Yue's mind was running rapidly, and she was about to speak.

Suddenly, Mu Yun pulled her wrist and took the initiative to stand up, looking at the two of them as usual and saying: "The information of the goblin clan is very profound and complex, and Mu Yun's knowledge is shallow, and he is embarrassed to crack everyone, of course he can't take it for himself selfishly, and he should dedicate it to someone who is more knowledgeable and capable to study!"

Bai Haifeng showed joy.

Nalan Li snorted: "Count you as acquaintances!"

Mu Yun's words changed and said: "It's just that there are many scholars and warlocks in the world, and Mu Yun doesn't dare to assert whether the Sage Tower is in vain or not." ”

Bai Yunfeng hurriedly said: "The Sage Tower is the most cutting-edge magic organization in the whole region, although in terms of scale and number, the Sage Tower is far less than one-tenth of the Warlock Guild and Academy Alliance, but in terms of research in the cutting-edge field, the Sage Tower is particularly superior compared to the two, if even the Sage Tower does not have the research qualifications, then I am afraid that no one has this qualification." ”

"In that case, I have a proposal. ”

"Speak. ”

Mu Yun's eyes sharpened and he paused word by word, "Please ask your tower, use all the power of the tower, and compete with me, refining medicine, formations, talismans, spells, and knowledge...... As long as one can be better than the following, I will resign the sage richly, and the secret realm will be given with all my hands, how about it?!"

"You...... You're so arrogant!" Nalan Li snapped up, "Do you know what you're talking about!"

Bai Haifeng was all discolored.
