A Noteworthy Identity

So the fundraising banquet, as the name suggests, is a banquet specially used to collect funds.

In the words of Fran's previous life, someone proposed a project that might make money, might have some practical significance if successful, or might just want to find someone to take advantage of and pay for it.

On Floating City, this kind of banquet is very common. After all, not all mages have sufficient funds. In order to save money, they come to such occasions to see if there is a chance to get funding.

Among them, there are also those who are simply talking about a profitable project and looking for partners.

And after Fran, Territory Mage and Paper, a new fundraising project appeared at the banquet.

"Calista, long time no see... Would you like to know about our Chex Bay Territory Mage project in the south?"

A young man wearing a cylindrical hat greeted Calista and was connected to the sales project almost instantly.

Many mages keenly sensed that the most common and most profitable way to make money in this new Paper is to sell the location of Formal Mage.

Fran has never done any experiments on using territories to promote apprentices to mage. Her Paper only has Elan's experimental record of converting Formal Mage into Profession.

However, many mages directly acquiesce that this is okay. They believe that there is no difference between Territory Mage and Territory Knight. After obtaining the territory, apprentice-level Profession can be promoted through the territory.

And they calculated the promotion ratio directly and roughly based on one to five.

They sell these promotion quotas, and even sell them along with the territory.

Moreover, they have not left out the inheritability of Territory Mage, even though Fran did not mention this aspect in Paper.

"Territory Mage As long as you own the territory, you can be promoted to Order. Many mages will not be stingy for their children Gold Coin..."

The man talked eloquently about the advantages of the project.

"We can transform the entire Cheske Bay into a territory that can provide tiers. If converted into a quota of Formal Mage, there are hundreds of them..."

"Plus those Mage Family..."

Calista was originally a little interested. After all, it had only been a few days since the project was proposed and she had not heard of it.

But when she heard about it later, she remembered that there seemed to be only one experimental case of converting Formal Mage into Profession in the article Paper.

Let the apprentice become Formal Mage, the character has not yet been written, and as far as she knows, if the apprentice cannot inherit it, he also needs certain qualifications if he wants to become an ordinary knight.

"Please give in, I have to accompany someone else tonight."

There was no anger on the man's face, and he gave up his position very politely, allowing Calista to lead Fran into the hall.

But when Fran walked by, Fran obviously felt that the other party looked at her a few more times.

There is a long table covered with red cloth in the center of the hall, with all kinds of strange and weird food on it, and almost no one has eaten it.

In addition, there are some small tables placed in the corners of the hall, and some mages stand on them with magic devices to explain.

The arrival of Fran or Calista seemed to be a big deal. Many Mental Power keen mages discovered that there were two more people in the hall.

If this was the time when the VIPs came in at 8pm, then they would attract even more attention.

Most eyes were directed towards Calista, and only a few were focused on Fran.

Calista ignored those glances, but stood on the wall next to the door, turned around and said to Fran.

"Iris Your Excellency has asked me to help you adapt to the banquet here, and to let others get to know you..."

Calista looked a little embarrassed, because there were basically only two ways to get to know many people at a banquet of this size.

The first is to throw money. Calista knows that Fran is also Second Order Mage. She also knows that the other party has a Silver Alchemy Award in hand. The latter award alone is enough to apply for tens of thousands of Gold Coin assistance from the Alliance.

At this banquet, if you throw one thousand Gold Coin, you will basically get a certain amount of attention. If you throw three thousand Gold Coin, everyone present will ask you for your identity.

But obviously, application and approval also take time. Without preparation in advance, Fran will not have any money at all.

The second method is naturally to build a very strong project. Just by looking at it, you will feel that it is profitable, or if you can win a prize, others will invest money in it.

As long as a mage can receive three thousand Gold Coin at the banquet, naturally many people will come to ask for his identity.

But it was obvious that Fran was not prepared at all. She suddenly received the invitation to this banquet two hours ago.

"Calista, long time no see..."

"Sorry, I'm busy now..."

It seems that Calista is also very famous in Floating City, and many mages who seem to be completely unknown to Calista will come to see her.

Fran stayed nearby. After they entered the hall, Calista was not idle for long before three waves of people came to look for her.

At this time, Calista also felt that something was wrong. Normally, there would be so many people coming to look for her.

She glanced around and found that half of the mages in the hall were looking towards her.

After rejecting three waves of questions, the remaining mages finally stopped rushing to ask her questions.

Why is this? Isn't Lai on the side wearing Northern Lands Society's robe? Why are you all looking at me?

Calista raised his eyebrows, turned to Fran and said.

"You go around the hall first, and I'll let you know if anything happens."

"Oh." Fran didn't care. He walked out and came to a booth. Only a few of those eyes followed Fran, and most of them continued to be locked on Calista.

Now Calista was a little confused. For the first time, she realized that these people were actually coming for her.

But she hasn't done much recently, and has been working with her mentor. She was just caught by Iris three hours ago to do this job.

At this moment, the footsteps coming from the door attracted Calista's attention. She was overjoyed and hurried forward to greet them.

"Camilla, long time no see."

She took the other party's hand, completely ignoring that the other party was a distinguished guest who walked in at eight o'clock, and directly took the other party away and came to a small corner.

She faced her friend and spoke directly.

"Camilla, do you know what's going on? Why were so many people looking at me just now?"

Camilla showed a playful smile and tapped her ring with her finger. The ring was engraved with the coat of arms that Fran recognized.

That is the coat of arms of the Felistin Family, which means that Camilla is a member of the Mage Family. Judging from the coat of arms on the Alchemy School clothes she is wearing, it seems that her status within the family is not simple.

"Don't you know what you did?"

This question made Calista a little confused, and she said impatiently.

"Hurry up and tell me. I also want to know what I did?"

Camilla stretched out his tone and said slowly.

"You recently met Iris, the president of Northern Lands Society."

"This... but it won't attract so much attention, right?"

Calista knew that Northern Lands Society, the subordinate of Iris, was a bit special and would attract extra attention, but it was not like this. Half of the mages in the hall were looking at her.

Even if Harbos originally published Paper and she met Iris, there wouldn't be so many people paying attention to her, right?

"Do you know the Paper of Territory Mage?"

Camilla asked somewhat speechlessly.

"Of course I know..."

Calista answered very naturally that in the laboratory, she could still read some Paper with the help of her tutor.

Now Camilla understood and said helplessly:

"Then you may not know that Paper is from Northern Lands Society."

The news hit Calista like thunder, making her lips tremble a few times.

She originally thought that this was Paper from Law School, but its results were so outstanding that it could only be seen elsewhere, but this Paper actually came from Northern Lands Society.

She continued to look at Fran. At this time, Fran was crowded in the crowd in the corner. Few people came forward to talk to Fran. Only some people looked at her in surprise, but they never made any move.

"Not many people know Northern Lands Society's standard robe..." Calista complained. In fact, she didn't know it three hours ago.

Iris himself does not wear the standard robe of Northern Lands Society, but Iris is sure that Fran will definitely wear this robe, so he let Calista take a look.

"Then there's no need to do anything. Those people will come up to me involuntarily, and I'll just answer them."

Calista realized that she didn't have to do anything at all. Just because of her fame, those people would keep coming, and then she just answered the identity of 'Lai'.

"Did that mage over there wearing the Northern Lands Society robe come with you?"

Camilla also discovered Fran, which made her very concerned.

"Her name is Lai, and she came with me. It seems that she just came to Floating City, and she has been at Northern Lands Society before."

Camilla answered truthfully and did not hide anything.

"Lai?"

Camilla read this name, and she actually doubted whether the other party was the author of the article Territory Mage Paper, 'Fran'.

After all, judging from the time she came to Floating City, she came with Iris, and many people knew that Iris asked Law School to hold the award ceremony at Number Nine Floating City.

So is she the person Camilla is looking for?

If she called another name, Camilla is estimated to be 90% sure, but her name is 'Lai'.

"Did she get Silver Alchemy Award?"

Calista nodded in astonishment, seeming surprised that Camilla could think of it so quickly. The winner of Silver Alchemy Award is public, and this award is also very famous among Alchemy School's low-level mages.

"That's right."

Camilla thought silently in her heart, she knew 'Lai', and knew that the other party not only got Silver Alchemy Award, but even hoped to win Gold Alchemy Award.

Among the Felistin Family who now wants to significantly expand his influence, this 'Lai' is also a high-quality target.

Moreover, Camilla also dispelled most of the doubts that the other party would be the 'Fran'. After all, the fields of all the results of 'Lai' are very different from that of 'Fran'.

Unless the 'Lai' performed badly later, he would never have such suspicion.

Knowledge and wisdom cannot be faked, and it is extremely difficult to overcome areas of expertise.
