Chapter 1491: Going to an appointment, misunderstanding
Old Town, east side of Naese Palace.
Different from the silver-white elven style buildings in the area where the Giles Tower and the Neser Palace are located, the architectural colors here are mostly gold and blue.
This area is dominated by chambers of commerce, mage houses, and offices in Severton for Mage Tower organizations or small groups outside of Severington.
The headquarters of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is located in the core area of this "CBD", and the original building was an elegant and beautiful elf manor, which was later transformed into a more color-resistant local style.
It's just that in Xia Duo's opinion, it is somewhat funny to either change it all or not to change it at all, and to behave like this now, while trying to get rid of the influence of the elves, but not being able to get rid of it completely.
For President Jenna's invitation tonight, Xia Duo can probably guess some reasons, and he just happens to have something to do with the help of the other party's channels.
Just thinking about it, he soon came to the headquarters of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, in front of the gate he removed his disguise and restored his original appearance, the chamber of commerce manager who had been waiting for a long time was startled, and then immediately greeted him:
"Honorable Lord Xiado, the President is waiting for you in the Winter Hall, please come with me!"
Xia Duo nodded, he had been here once before, and knew that the headquarters of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce had four formal meeting rooms in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the last time he came over, it was just an ordinary reception room, and the treatment was obviously different.
During the march, Syd received the news at some point and took over the original stewardship, and personally led Xia Duo to the Winter Hall, and did not quietly retreat until the hall was outside.
Xia Duo stepped into it, and Jenna had already stood up to greet her, "Lord Xia Duo, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you will give me a big surprise!" ”
"It's a fluke, but President Jenna is the real talent!"
Xia Duo knew his own business, and it had taken him at least a decade since he first came into contact with magic, but most of that time had been obscured by the projection plane.
As far as he knew, there was hardly a single Grand Arcanist who had not achieved it before the age of forty, and the President Jenna in front of him was called "a genius second only to a princess" by Iolem.
From an ordinary background, he became a great arcanist at the age of less than thirty, and Xia Duo was very envious when he looked at it.
If the other party has been enlightened by magic since childhood and received a more scientific modern education, he may be admitted to the junior class and will be able to graduate from college (Grand Arcanist) at the age of eighteen.
It can only be said that this era is not worthy of a genius like Jenna.
Of course, there are other Grand Arcanists like Jenna, almost all of whom have grown up in a self-taught way, and they don't know how many detours they have taken in the process, and they may not be able to follow the path they really want.
All kinds of thoughts flashed in Xia Duo's mind, and after a simple greeting, he went straight to the point, "What is the reason why President Jenna came to me this time?" ”
"Lord Xia Duo is a little anxious, can't it be a gathering of friends?" Jenna asked with a smile.
As he spoke, he also teased the bright blonde hair in his ears with a little provocation, this scene made Xia Duo's heart beat a little, but when he thought of the age of being his mother hidden under the other party's beautiful face, he didn't think about anything for a moment.
Ahem –
"President Jenna, just tell me if you have anything, I'll go to the teacher's place in a while!"
"Little guy who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, your old-fashioned appearance is really similar to your teacher!"
After a little teasing, Jenna immediately returned to her senses, "Okay, no kidding, I asked you to tell me this time, I really want to ask you for help!" ”
"President Jenna, please?"
"I've heard about that incident not long ago, presumably you should have a good relationship with the Kelsec crown king of the akola, I want to ask you to be an intermediary and contact the Kelsec crown king for me."
"Is that all?" Xia Duo frowned slightly, as if he was considering the gains and losses.
It stands to reason that Akola has already signed a mutual defense agreement with Netheril, and there is a supplementary agreement involving commerce later, so it should be easier for Jenna to pass the Severynton Council when contacting Akora to be crowned!
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo probably thought of the crux of the problem, if he went through the official channels, everything would be official, and maybe Jenna's identity would be made public.
And the next moment, Jenna gave an explanation, which was slightly different from what Xia Duo guessed-
"Yes, that's it, originally I wanted to find the Seven Towers, but I found something not long ago that made me change my mind, and Horn also intends to lay out the business field."
"Horn?" Xia Duo wondered, "The internal forces of the Seven Towers are intertwined, did Horn convince the others so quickly?" ”
"I haven't heard what the specific situation will be yet, but as far as I know, this should be Horn's private decision." Jenna said in a deep voice.
"That's it!"
The more resolute the decision is made in private, the more difficult it is to compromise, in fact, a long time ago, Xia Duo had expected today's situation.
The path to ascension is not unique, but at the same time, it is impossible to change, and areas that are simple or have great potential for development may be targeted by multiple potential ascension at the same time.
Jenna chose the currency subdivision of the commercial field, and the promotion of the new coins of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce was an important step in the ceremony, and only Jenna herself knew about the more.
Although Jenna had mentioned a long time ago that ascension was just an alternative for her, even if it was an alternative, it was not something to be happy about being targeted by others.
It's just that there is no conflict between Xia Duo and Kieran Tower, and it is unlikely that there will be any conflict in the foreseeable future.
Even if Jenna said just now, Horn's behavior only represents himself, even if he doesn't consider the possibility of Jenna speaking, but Horn is in that position, it is difficult to say that he really only represents himself.
At this moment, Xia Duo couldn't help but be a little lucky, fortunately, this time, Jenna was still a little sincere, otherwise he would have gone into the water directly, and he didn't know who to reason with!
After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked a key question: "Have you talked to Horn?" Is there any misunderstanding in this? ”
Every word and deed of the Grand Arcanist involves many aspects, just like the interaction between countries, if they do not communicate often, it is likely that some behavior will lead to misjudgment.
For example, if a country mobilizes troops to suppress a border rebellion, if it does not notify its neighbors in advance, the neighboring country or another country with the interests of the neighboring country may misjudge and think that a war is about to break out against the neighboring country, so it will start a war first.
In response to Xia Duo's question, Jenna shook her head helplessly, "When this happens, how can I take the initiative to find him!" Shouldn't he have taken the initiative to inform me before he took action? Or did he say that the master of the Seven Towers didn't know the inside story of the ascension ceremony? ”
