"Shado! Shado! ”

"Shado! Shado! ”

……

The Arfa Square is not small, even if it is separated by a small half for the ceremony site and viewing seats, the remaining area can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people.

Listening to the continuous shouts behind him, Xia Duo really lost his mind for a moment, and even in front of the princess, he was in a trance.

How can you say this feeling? Different from the shouts of his own people, these voices made by strangers can trigger Xia Duo's mood shock.

"Lord Xiaduo, I hope you will continue to work hard and never forget your original intention!"

Hearing the princess's voice, Xia Duo came back to his senses, hurriedly saluted, and then returned to the queue, knowing that the next step was the main event.

……

In normal celebrations, there is usually a considerable interval between different ceremonies, such as the ascension ceremony and the blessing ceremony of the Midsummer Festival celebration, one in the early morning and the other at noon.

Performances such as magic performances, plays, songs, and even juggling can be all kinds, but this New Year's celebration is clearly extraordinary.

The award ceremony was followed by a ceremony to honour the pioneers, ostensibly for the pioneering achievements of Nessreel over the past two years as a result of its restoration of the pioneering tradition.

But actually—

As the master of ceremonies announced the start of the ceremony, Chardo noticed that the princess had once again performed the same special magic that had been performed in the previous rehearsal.

"Todd Vesely, who distinguished himself in the Southern Savile Arcane Competition in 834 of the Nexus Calendar, was awarded the title of Pioneer, and later pioneered new lands in the Plains of Conch. In the process of pioneering, he-"

With the introduction of a clear female voice, the air above the ceremony site also "played" every bit of Todd's territory.

There are smooth and unsmooth, positive and negative, but in any case, the main theme stops at the theme of pioneering.

Such a movie-like form of expression may be novel to ordinary color-resistant people, but for the pioneers who have rehearsed and watched many times in the half-plane, especially Xia Duo, there is not much novelty.

As a result, when the crowd quieted down a little and their eyes stopped chasing him, he was able to spare his mood to observe the princess and the rest of the Grand Arcanists.

It's not in rehearsal, it's like the "kill the elf" voice from before, when anything can happen.

……

Starting with Todd, who was familiar to Shado, the Trailblazers began to greet the gaze and discussion of the crowd in the square one by one.

Small kiosk

Of course, this does not include Divog and Elpaf, who were screened out during the previous rehearsal, but these two people did not die, and they also participated in the reward ceremony, after all, they also participated in the war of the Green Plane of Oz.

It's just that after the reward ceremony, they followed the other non-pioneer participants and consciously withdrew.

Xia Duo didn't know the specific situation of these two people, he hadn't heard of any pioneer who had been deprived of his identity in the past few days, but it was indeed a little strange that he couldn't participate in the commendation ceremony as a pioneer.

This is further proof that this New Year's celebration and the so-called pioneer recognition ceremony are not as simple as they seem.

……

Time passed little by little, and soon, the introduction and commendation of the pioneers were carried out in the middle of the process.

In fact, at this point, more than two hours have passed since the beginning of the reward ceremony, and in the more than two hours, Xia Duo has never been able to detect any anomalies.

Everything was going according to the rehearsal, and the fluctuations in the background of the magic net spreading with the princess as the source point were beyond the scope of his perception.

Without the help of the Detection Spell, there would be only so much that Xia Duo could see.

However, unexpectedly, he saw Master Byron in the crowd of onlookers outside the viewing room, but the figure was almost fleeting, and as soon as he turned his gaze and looked again, it disappeared.

If it were an ordinary person, he might suspect that he had read it wrong, but Xia Duo had the ability to trace his memory, and by tracing past memories, he knew very well that he was not wrong.

If it's just the same appearance, it may be different people, but the faces and clothes are almost exactly the same, how can there be such a coincidence.

Except for himself, Xia Duo does not make other judgments.

Combined with this celebration, there are only nine Grand Arcanists (seven of the Seven Towers + Congenio and Iorum) who appear publicly on the side of Netheril.

He had reason to suspect that it was possible that the other Grand Arcanists might be blending in with the crowd of onlookers outside the viewing table at this moment.

With such speculation, Xia Duo increased his vigilance even more, and he almost didn't keep an eye on the expression on Ambassador Comanso's face.

If there is any accident, it is most likely to be the elves of Comanso.

But since Xia Duo appeared on the stage, he has been paying attention to Ambassador Comanso, except for the first time when the crowd collectively shouted "Kill the elf", the guy's face changed abruptly, and then he put on an indifferent face.

If Comanso's side made any decisions and would hide them from the ambassador alone, then Xia Duo didn't believe it very much.

After all, the status of an ambassador is not trivial, and the authority he has is also extraordinary, and it is not easy to make a misjudgment if he does not ventilate in advance, thus affecting the overall situation.

On the other hand, if there is any action to be taken in the Comanso, the Ambassador's opinion will also be an important reference.

Chado believed that the Ambassador of Comanso must know something, but it was a pity that he could guess the superpower in his mind by looking at the faces of others.

Otherwise, he could make a big deal in a matter of minutes!

……

Due to the small number of pioneers, only a few dozen, even if there was no previous deed of one person enjoying three badges alone, Xia Duo would be stared at by many pairs of eyes.

Occasionally turn your eyes, others may not see anything, but if you squint for a while and look up and then look down, it can be called the scene of an accident.

Therefore, cloud vision cannot be used, and Xia Duo can only pay attention to possible anomalies in the field from the perspective of magic as much as possible.

And the anomaly passed bit by bit over time, and finally showed a hint of it-

As the ceremony progressed to the end, the princess unfolded the miniature magic net that blended into the surrounding normal magic net environment and gradually radiated a strange light.

This situation had never happened in the previous rehearsals, and Xia Duo noticed this almost immediately, and the glimmer of light felt very familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Having the heart to trace the memory in his subconscious, and worrying about missing the next movement, for a while, he was really a little embarrassed.

But soon, there was no need for Xia Duo to make his own decision, and in the middle of the viewing table, Ambassador Comanso suddenly stood up, his expression angry, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

However, Chado noticed that the Grand Arcanist of Congenio next to Ambassador Comanso was calmly explaining something to Ambassador Ilfarão, and Ambassador Danzo on the side also interjected a few words from time to time.

As for Ambassador Yerlan, he, like the envoys of other small neighboring countries, was bowing his head and being silent.

At this moment, Xia Duo hated himself for not learning to read lips, but looking at the situation, it seemed that Ambassador Comanso wanted to find trouble, but he was suppressed by someone.

Even the expression on my face when I sat down was so painful and unnatural.
