Chapter 42 Before the Conference Begins
According to the scheduled time, Cecilia arrived at the Magician's Guild half an hour in advance to meet Lorian.
Lorian watched Cecilia put on the magical mask. The Cecilia in front of him changed briefly in his eyes, and then changed back to Cecilia's appearance.
Although this was the second time Lorian had seen Cecilia wearing this mask.
In his heart, he was still amazed at the magic of the mask.
Cecilia sneaked out this time. She was wearing men's clothes and put on a mask. She stood behind Lorian like a standing pine tree.
Lorian was under tremendous pressure, but he had to adapt.
Cecilia followed Lorian into the meeting place prepared by the two families.
The venue was an open-air competition arena temporarily built on the outskirts of Petra, surrounded by a fence and spectator seats.
There is also some carefulness in the haste.
The judges' seat was obviously in the middle of the audience, but no one was seated there yet.
Cecilia withdrew her gaze and looked at Lorian's social life in front of her.
As soon as Lorian appeared, many people gathered around the venue. From the way these people greeted her, Cecilia could roughly judge that most of them were members of the Magicians' Guild.
Also.
There is no guild that only brings a plug-in to the competition.
The members obviously knew the mysterious man behind Lorian, who was the master the president had mentioned earlier, and they all greeted Cecilia.
Cecilia's voice was not modified. She would not speak unless it was absolutely necessary. She just nodded silently to everyone as a response.
In the eyes of some people, this is the coolness of a master, but in the eyes of others, it is arrogance.
Cecilia didn't care. The fewer people knew her identity, the better.
Lorian laughed to lighten the mood.
After arranging the guild members, he prepared to take Cecilia to find a place to rest. No matter what, he could not let Cecilia stand there all the time.
Seeing that there weren't that many people around Lorian, Owen and a lady walked over to the two of them.
Lorian cursed in his heart, wondering if they knew how valuable the person standing behind them was!
"Oh? Isn't this President Lorian? I've been too busy these days. I just came back from Grant and didn't have time to visit him in person. Is this the high-level magician that Owen mentioned?"
The person who spoke was Flora, the president of the Ark Magicians Guild. Since she appeared, her eyes had been on Cecilia.
Although Lorian was unhappy, he still maintained his politeness. "Of course, the development of our own guild is the most important thing. Besides, Owen is a considerate person. He came back to visit you not long ago."
Cecilia remained silent from beginning to end.
I got a lot of clues from Lorian's recent speech.
Flora naturally heard the sarcasm in Lorian's words, but she didn't respond. She walked straight to Cecilia and stretched out her right hand. "Hello, I'm Flora, the president of the Ark Magician Guild. I'm very happy to meet you. I hope to see your outstanding performance in the competition later."
Cecilia didn't bother to save Flora's face, she reached out and held the other's hand as a response.
Seeing Gardner and Adams coming over in the distance, Lorian felt that he could not stay here any longer. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Flora and Owen, he quickly left with Cecilia.
Flora watched the two people leave. Lorian was in a hurry, while Cecilia was not in a hurry. "It's really interesting."
Owen looked at his president, then looked in the direction the two men left.
The venue was not very big and there were quite a few people. In just a moment, the two people could no longer be found.
"Lorian has always boasted that he is the most talented person in Anatolia's magic. When have you ever seen him be so cautious with others?"
careful?
Owen thought carefully about the two times he met Lorian and the mysterious man.
Although it wasn't obvious, it seemed that Lorian was careful about the people behind him.
It's not the kind of cautiousness that comes from fear, nor is it the kind of cautiousness that comes from fear that the other person will be poached and flattered.
It does seem a bit strange when you think about it this way.
"Keep an eye on them when you have time. I want to see what these two people, one who claims to be the most talented and the other who you praised to the sky, are really capable of."
Flora obviously looked down on Lorian.
An arrogant magician who lived off his wealth was not worthy of her fear.
As for the magician who suddenly appeared behind him, she needed to see clearly the other party's magical ability.
When Gardner and Adams walked up to Flora, they asked, "Why don't you keep her here?"
It was Gardner who spoke.
Flora got a headache whenever she heard him speak. If Lorian was arrogant, then Gardner was Puxin, who liked to give orders to her in a condescending manner.
Owen knew that his president hated most men, so he quickly jumped out and took responsibility for the mistake. "I'm so sorry, President Gardner. It was my inappropriate words that caused Lorian to leave."
Flora really didn't understand why these people always indulged this stinky man?
As expected, Gardner began to point fingers at Owen, and his words were full of disparagement of Owen and the Ark Guild.
Flora was unhappy to hear any more and left with Owen.
Sun goddess bless you, I really hope someone can come and put an end to Gardner’s arrogance soon.
Gardner spoke loudly and sarcastically behind Flora, attracting the attention of many people in the venue.
Flora didn't care. Her own guild naturally knew that what the other party said was not true.
People from the Magicians' Guild never point fingers in front of others, and whether they say something behind their backs is not something Flora can control.
As for the Ruby Guild...
Just a nest of snakes and rats.
Who would bother with a group of animals?
Cecilia, who was being taken to rest by Lorian in the distance, heard the conversation between the two presidents clearly.
There was no one around at this time, so Cecilia said to Lorian, "I may have been a little too targeted today."
Lorian didn't know what had stimulated Cecilia's sudden words, but whoever she wanted to target would be unlucky for her.
There was no way, Cecilia was now his biggest and thickest thigh.
No matter what Cecilia wants to do, he will give her unconditional support.
With a noise, Cecilia saw Prince Morpheus and Mel appear at the door of the venue.
Cecilia subconsciously looked at Lorian, "You didn't tell me there were these two on the judges."
Lorian was also dumbfounded.
The reason stated on the invitation was to respond to Prince Morphis's decree, but it didn't say that Prince Morphis would come in person.
