Special Treatment

In the evening, Fran flew to the Silver-Scale Manor to attend today's banquet.

The scale of this banquet is much larger than the previous ones she has attended at the Silver-Scale Manor, because today's banquet will be held from the first floor to the third floor.

The external name of this banquet is Silver Dragon Dinner. It is a large-scale banquet that is only held four times a year. Many mages who are keen on socializing hope to get an invitation to this banquet.

The name Silver-Scale Manor is derived from this large seasonal banquet.

When Silver Dragon Dinner was held, the entire outer wall of the Silver-Scale Manor changed. The scales began to slowly flap, revealing the dark inner wall below. From the outside, it looked like the back of a giant dragon.

However, Fran looked at the changed exterior wall and felt nothing. She walked to the front door and thought for a long time before taking out the banquet invitation.

This is because she is hesitant about which banquet invitation to submit. All the invitations delivered to her door these days are from Silver Dragon Dinner.

It is no exaggeration to say that these invitations were piled up from the floor and might have almost reached her knees.

She doesn't even know why she is so famous

She even felt that if Ashgold Path had not sent invitation letters to prohibit outsiders from entering, her house would have been breached long ago.

If it weren't for Combat Technique and the designated sword skills, Fran would definitely not be here. Those invitations alone were enough to scare her away.

Before coming, she selected some of the ones from the invitation letter that seemed to have the best treatment. Then when she came here, she casually dug at the waiter and took out one.

"Your seat is on the third floor. There will be a famous painter exhibiting his works there tonight. Please go up the stairs."

The waiter politely returned the invitation letter to Fran, then pointed to the aisle on the left and motioned for Fran to go up.

"Painter?" Fran recalled the art appreciation class she took during City of Apprentices's time, and her face looked a little strange.

"Why do the mages invite a painter over to their dinner party..."

She scratched her head. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. In the past, at mages' banquets, although Fran thought they were all socializing, they were probably doing business anyway.

Fund-raising dinners, academic exchange conferences, and even the most ordinary dinners can allow mages to exchange information and sell resources.

Why is it that at this larger banquet, appreciating paintings, a thing that doesn't seem to have much to do with practicality, comes up.

Feeling confused, Fran walked up the stairs to the third floor. In the short time she went up the stairs, she could feel countless eyes looking at her until she continued to go upstairs and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

"What's going on? After I got Legendary's comment last time, there weren't so many eyes on me, right?"

Fran didn't know yet that he had used the name 'Lai' to apply for the occupation permission from Antir, but it had already spread almost throughout the upper-level mage group of Number Nine Floating City. This news was much more attractive than some unknown guy getting Legendary's comment.

After all, the latter is just a person you don't know who has been recognized by Legendary, and that's it. Even if you know her, it's hard to get any benefits.

But things about Territory Mage are different. It can be said that this is closely related to people at all levels of the Alliance. It will even change the underlying logic of how the Alliance allocates mage resources now.

This is enough for many mages to initiate tentative contact with Lai, hoping to get some inside information from Lai.

Many mages even believe that the guy who wrote Territory Mage Paper is now discussing with those Alliance Council members where the Alliance should expand next.

And the 'Lai' mage who helped the other party a lot in the beginning must know some inside information about the Alliance, right?

Even if not, some of the original details can still be revealed, which will also help them obtain information and take action.

It's just that because Fran published Paper on Northern Lands Society, she basically doesn't know the situation of the former, and she must avoid suspicion of the latter. No one knows where the sensitive place is better than she who knows the specific answer.

When Fran arrived on the third floor, Kiran·Burns, who had already received the message, stood up and greeted him personally.

"Your Majesty Master Lai, I wish you a smooth journey in the arcane arts. I am Kiran·Burns."

Although the information he received was that the invitation letter handed over by Master Lai was not the one he gave him at all, but he felt that judging from Master Lai's previous behavior, the other party seemed to have just randomly picked one.

So Kiran stepped forward directly, first appreciating Master Lai's recent achievements in research, and then immediately reported his name in order to leave an impression.

Facts have proved that he was right. Master 'Lai' just responded softly and then introduced himself to him.

After that, he impatiently took the other party to the seat that Burns Family specially set up to receive 'Lai' tonight.

The tables and chairs here are very different from the ones Fran saw last time. They have been specially decorated. When Fran sat on a yellow seat, it felt even more wrong.

She felt that this seat was much softer than the last time she came to attend an academic conference, and after sitting down, the mages who were talking next to her became silent. It was not until Fran sat down for three seconds that Kiran spoke to the nearby mages:

"This is the 'Lai' mage. She has only recently obtained Sandglass Cup Youth Competition's Golden Hourglass Award, and she has completely taken over."

After he finished speaking, the other mages present showed envy and admiration in their eyes, and some quietly clapped their hands.

The achievements Fran achieved on Hourglass Cup are indeed an extraordinary thing, so all the mages present looked natural, without the feeling of exerting too much force or being fake.

Fran curled his lips. Judging from the deliberate actions of these people, it was clear that they had arranged everything in advance.

After that, under the guidance of the Kiran mage, the topics of all nearby mages became topics related to Hourglass Cup.

Why, my younger brother (cousin) also participated in Hourglass Cup, and finally managed to get the Bronze Hourglass level...

It's just that these people don't seem to be too prepared. If they start talking about who Gold Alchemy Award will be given to this year, then Fran might even feel a little interested.

Ignoring the Hourglass Cup topic stirred up by these people, Fran went straight to Kiran on the other side and asked him:

"Master Kiran, I recently wanted to find some Combat Technique... I also wanted to find out if there are any Broken Wing Sword Art, Blood Law Sword Art..."

The two swordsmanships Fran mentioned came from some information she collected. Third Order Sword Saint, who practices these two swordsmanships, is currently hiding in some lawless places.

In order to become Sword Saint, the third-level Profession, Fran should practice swordsmanship instead of practicing it. Why not directly aim at killing a Sword Saint to obtain Sword Saint Order?

After hearing Fran's request, Kiran immediately said:

"Master Lai, I heard about these two sword skills you need from my friends. Please stay here and I will ask my friends."

After saying that, he immediately stood up. After walking halfway to the third floor, he immediately ordered the mage assigned by the family:

"Hurry up, I think you heard about those two swordsmanships just now, so you should hurry up and arrange for some Combat Technique to be delivered..."

Of course, what he just said is false. He has never heard of these two swordsmanships. However, with the support of the family, as long as Floating City has it, the family will definitely be able to send the things.

And Fran put forward his request. Three full minutes later, Kiran still did not come back with the accurate letter.

This is because the two swordsmanships mentioned by Fran are relatively unpopular among the forces with Swordsman Society Profession as the main extraordinary Profession. It is difficult for any mage to have these two swordsmanships in his collection.

At this time, a woman wearing a gorgeous red robe walked next to Fran and asked softly:

"Excuse me, Master Lai. Do you need Blood Law Sword Art?"

Fran raised his eyebrows, feeling overjoyed. He had already decided that he would always pay attention to the specific movements of the practitioner Blood Law Sword Art in the future. When she reached the third level, she would find a way to kill the opponent and get the new third level Profession.

"Of course, what do you need?"

Fran said with a smile.

At this time, the mages next to Fran held their breath and did not speak. Even if they did not want to see such a transaction, they still could not disturb Fran at this moment.

The woman in red said straight to the point:

"Master Lai, I want to hear what you have to say about Antir. After all, Northern Lands Society is still very close to Antir. I want to hear your opinion on how it is already the territory of the Alliance."

Fran raised his eyebrows, feeling a little clearer about the extra treatment he received tonight.

"It's all because of my connection with Territory Mage Paper. It's just that when I came to Floating City, there weren't so many people coming. How come now, so many mages are eager to establish a good relationship with me..."

Fran straightened his expression and looked at the woman in red with an expectant look. Although she couldn't leak key information, she could still leak some insignificant information that would be more important in the eyes of others.

"I don't know much about Antir, but I also know some things that others don't know..."

After Fran said this, almost all the mages around him became silent and listened to Fran's words.

"Originally Antir had a throne, but after my colleagues occupied Antir, the lords there no longer felt the existence of the throne..."

This seems to be useful information for mages, because the throne can also provide blessings to territorial Profession ers, so when Fran talked about the throne, the woman in red breathed a little heavier.

What's more boring is that Fran only added some complaints from those lords and the reactions of Northern Lands Society's related colleagues to support this matter, without going into depth at all...

"That's about all I know, so are you satisfied?"

The woman in red had no choice but to hand the silver paper to Fran, expressing that she was very satisfied. After all, there was still a lot of information in Fran's answer.

After the woman in red left, Kiran quickly came back with a few pieces of silver paper and chatted with Fran about the throne...

"It seems that it was when Antir was almost occupied..."

Now Antir's throne is long gone, replaced by the Alliance's manager position of Antir Region, but Fran did not disclose the information to this step.

Those who listened to the information only knew that the throne over Antir was gone due to some special reasons.
