1219 Times Square 1
Gavin, who was wearing the uniform of a junior deacon of the Supreme Council, pinned the badge representing his identity on his chest and became the highest-ranking elder in the team. Under his leadership, everyone rode a beast cart to the era. The entrance to the square.
It's still early, but the place has already become very lively.
Times Square is the most famous landscape in the land of towers. It was built at the same time as the Towers of Babel. Although it was an open-air square at the time, due to its large area and gorgeous decoration, it has become many A place where important ceremonies are held.
The low guardrail, which is as white as jade but is neither gold nor stone, surrounds the oval-shaped Times Square. It is thought that the six passages set up can allow people to enter, and at the entrance there is a lowly armed but smiling man. The first-level wizard is responsible for maintaining order and verifying the identity of those entering the venue.
It's just that outside the entrances lined up from left to right, the lengths and members of the queues waiting for admission are different.
Stewich, who seemed to have been brought here by Gavin before, approached Raymond and introduced him.
It turns out that the two entrances on the far left are for receiving wizard apprentices. These wizard apprentices wearing gray wizard robes can only queue up obediently. Even though the queue has already been queued hundreds of meters away, each one of them is waiting. You can only wait patiently and undergo inspection and verification before you can enter.
As for the two entrances in the central and yang, although the age and strength of the entrants are very different, the people at the front wearing the uniforms of the Supreme Council do not need to undergo verification, and can only lead people in with the badges on their chests.
The two entrances on the far right are dedicated to receiving invitations from wizards, scholars from various research institutions, and many wizards who do not belong to the Supreme Council. Although there are very few inspectors at these two entrances, the inspection The process seems to be extremely random, but in fact, the strength of these inspectors is real Dawn-level wizards.
The crowd, led by Gavin, quickly entered the audience area. Under the guidance of the waiters, they were taken to the front row of the audience area filled with seats, and sat down according to the seats reserved by Gavin.
But at this time, Stewie came closer to Raymond and lowered his voice and said quietly. "Dear Lord Raymond, the Demiran you saw tonight is the proud disciple of Master Lan Modo. He is also a talented spell master who is favored by countless high-level wizards. He has a close relationship with the Milia family. , but he and I are also very good friends..."
It was still early, but there were already many members of the Supreme Council nearby who were patiently waiting for the seminar to begin. Raymond, who turned around, looked at Stewich's expression and responded after a moment. "If he only goes there as a witness, I believe nothing will happen to him..."
Stewich, who had a grimace in front of Raymond for the first time, had pleading in his eyes. "Demiran is very good but also extremely arrogant. He has a good relationship with Miss Similu of the Milia family, so..."
"Then let's talk about it then. Since he is a disciple of Talisman Master Lan Modo, he will not be too weak after all. He should still have the ability to protect himself..."
Raymond, who interrupted Stewich, did not finish his words. He turned around and picked up the seminar agenda placed on the table and began to look at it.
The somewhat frustrated Stevic did not dare to say anything more, so he bowed and sat back next to Gavin. However, even so, he was scolded by Gavin in a low voice. It was obvious that the relationship between him and Demilan Gavin is very clear about the relationship.
In the oval Times Square, the fan-shaped audience area was quickly filled with people of all kinds, and the staff in the center of the square were also busy. A curtain tens of meters long was erected, and several gray-haired statues After the scholar-like wizard performed a certain magic projection demonstration, he ordered the staff to raise the curtain high to ensure that everyone sitting in the square could see everything that was about to appear above the curtain. .
After all the seats in the huge Times Square were filled, there were still many people waiting to enter outside the six entrances. However, the venue manager, after communicating with those responsible for verifying identities, removed many wizards who had already sat down. The apprentices all shouted, demanding that they make room to accommodate the formal wizards who arrived late, as well as the members of the Supreme Council.
Raymond, who felt that this arrangement was inappropriate, watched this scene with interest. However, these wizard apprentices did not complain about being driven away, and one by one they cleaned the area where they were sitting. Clean, he kept quiet and left one by one, standing at the back of the seating area.
The orderly admission ends here, and latecomers can enter except those who have reserved seats or have invitation letters, while others can only stay outside the guardrail.
What surprised Raymond was that when the time was approaching the start of the seminar, there were still thousands of people outside the guardrail who were unable to enter.
It's just that these people kept quiet and in due order, and stood quietly in place after distancing themselves from each other. In Raymond's opinion, if he was so excluded from the field, he would definitely choose someone with a broader view. Watch from a certain position. Even if you can't use the floating technique, it's much better than just standing there.
Although he felt strange in his heart, Raymond, who did not show it, quickly turned around and began to wait patiently.
The seminar held today was held in the name of Master Lan Moduo, who is a member of an organization called the ‘Dilan Society’. Although he has a long-standing reputation on the surface plane, he is not the leader of the Dilan Society, but only the chief scholar of a department.
After the seminar began, the research results presented by the scholars who appeared earlier were quite innovative and received a lot of praise and compliments, but they were similar to what Raymond had seen in the past few days, all of which were in-depth research based on the predecessors or just some minor improvements.
When the honorary vice president of the Dilan Society showed several new techniques for refining magic tools, the atmosphere in the venue became heated, but in Raymond's opinion, the research results of the honorary vice president were just dispensable innovations, and there was no achievement in either actual combat or in terms of saving materials.
However, this research result that he looked down upon caused the participants in the entire Times Square to be amazed. Even Gavin and Ke Lide, who were sitting there, couldn't help but stand up and applaud with everyone, as if this result was very incredible.
The people in front and behind him all stood up and applauded. Raymond, who didn't want to be noticed, had to stand up and applaud. However, the honorary vice president of the Dilan Club, who was standing under the giant curtain, bowed and saluted repeatedly before announcing. "Everyone! Everyone! The latest research results I showed are just a small technique, but the research results brought by Master Lan Moduo, who is on a temporary basis in the Dilan Club, are definitely worthy of everyone's cheers and celebrations. Now, please welcome Master Lan Moduo..."
The originally enthusiastic applause became louder. As the vice president left, the old man who slowly came up from the left side of the center of the square with a cane, shook his head and raised his right hand after standing firmly, indicating that everyone should sit down.
The applause became more and more enthusiastic, but it lasted for a long time. The old man standing under the giant curtain got angry, and the cane in his left hand slammed heavily on the ground. The visible shock wave was actually heading towards the audience area in the square!
Shocked exclamations came one after another, and the audience in the front row, who were closest to them, were like light bulbs with electricity, and the light of the force field quickly flashed on their bodies. In an instant, the people standing in the front rows all activated their personal protective force fields and retreated to the back in panic!
The chairs fell over, the tables turned over, and the bangs made by the water cups falling to the ground, mixed with the shocking exclamations of some weak people, the originally lively audience area was completely messed up!
But Raymond, who was dozens of meters away from the slow but extremely determined shock wave that was rushing towards these people, found that Master Lan Moduo, who had released the shock wave spell, had a smile on his lips, and there was a hint of teasing between his eyebrows that was not easy to detect...
