Time passed slowly, and after Athir and Radel arrived, the rest of the guests had almost arrived as well.
In the hall that could accommodate hundreds of people, nobles stood quietly everywhere. After seeing Radel and others arrive, they all quieted down and stared quietly ahead.
Standing next to Radel and Keg, Athir was also being stared at by a pair of fiery eyes, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Whether in his past life or this life, he rarely came into contact with outsiders and rarely faced such lively scenes.
However, although he was not used to such scenes, he was not opposed to it in his heart. His face was calm and he followed Radel and the other man quietly.
After a while, they walked to the stage at the front of the hall.
The surrounding sounds began to disappear, and the entire hall fell into silence for a short time.
"Thank you all for coming here today to participate in this banquet to welcome Elder Radel."
In the midst of silence, a loud voice rang out.
Hearing the sound, Athir looked to the side.
On the specially built stage, a middle-aged man wearing a light white linen robe and a tall hat was standing there. He exuded a faint fluctuation of magical power and was obviously an apprentice.
He looked down, and the sound was amplified by the spell and spread throughout the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
"In addition, in addition to Elder Radel, we have another equally distinguished guest this time."
After a pause, the apprentice in front spoke loudly again, introducing the many nobles standing around: "That is our honorable Elder Athir. Like Elder Radel and Elder Keg, he is our most honorable guest!"
He faced the stage below, looked at Athir beside him, and introduced him to the people below with a respectful expression.
On the way here, Athir had already discussed this matter with Keg, and after some general understanding, he finally agreed to join the Southern Alliance. When introducing him at this time, he naturally had to add this title.
There was an uproar below.
"Such a young man is actually an elder."
At this moment, below, a look of disbelief flashed across the faces of many nobles.
Basically, none of the nobles who can stand in this hall at this time are simple. They are either prominent nobles themselves or represent some powerful forces. Only then are they qualified to come and welcome.
As nobles who had access to wizards, they understood very well what the elders of the southern countries represented.
A wizard who can serve as an elder in the Southern Alliance must be a third-class apprentice, which in itself represents great power.
After a while, when the middle-aged apprentice in front finished his introduction, Atier and his companions walked to the other side of the hall.
Compared to outside, there are much fewer people here, with only a few servants walking around.
"Are we going to the front?" Athir asked casually, looking around.
"No need. Those nobles outside are not in the same circle as us." Standing there, Radel shook his head: "We only need to show up occasionally. It's not worth wasting too much time on those people outside."
Hearing this, Athir nodded and said nothing more.
They quickly walked to another living room. Compared to the outside, there were obviously fewer people sitting here, only a dozen or so people. However, half of them were wizard apprentices, and the rest looked equally prominent, belonging to the top nobles.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Coming here and looking at the dozen or so people sitting in front of him, Radel smiled, and his attitude was obviously much better than outside.
"This is Lord Athir from the Fakus family. He has agreed to join our Southern Alliance and serve as an elder like me and Elder Radel."
Coming here, looking at Athir, Keg introduced to the people below: "Elder Athir left his hometown when he was very young, and now he doesn't know the situation in his hometown."
"If anyone here knows the latest news about the Fakus family, you can tell Elder Athir after the banquet."
Looking at the people below, he gave them a reminder with a smile on his face.
Below, everyone was thinking as they listened to Keg's words.
Almost everyone sitting here is a smart person, and naturally understands that this is a good opportunity to get closer to Athir.
"The Fakus family... seems to be a family located in the Kuma Principality area. It can actually train such a young elder." Looking at Athir's appearance, someone below sighed inwardly.
Time passed slowly. After Athir and the other two arrived, the banquet officially began.
There were some dancers in front of us dancing an unknown dance, and the backing song of bards was always ringing around.
Feeling this atmosphere, Atier's face was calm. He sat directly next to Radel and the other man, quietly watching the performances around him.
This situation continued for a while until the banquet was over, when Athir got up and left, followed by several servants.
For Athir, although the banquet was boring, he did gain some things from it as he successfully obtained some information about the Fakus family.
The Principality of Kuma still exists. Although it has suffered some losses in recent years due to war, at least nothing serious has happened. Its ruler is still the Duke of Arie.
However, recently, there seemed to be some changes there. The already old Duke Arieu fell ill in bed and seemed to be dying.
"It seems we must hurry back as soon as possible."
Walking on the road, Athir's face was calm, and he thought to himself.
When he first came to this world, Duke Arie and other members of the Fakus family helped him a lot. Now that something has happened, he naturally has to go back as soon as possible to take a look.
After a while, with a creak, the wooden door in front of him was opened by Athir, revealing a small room with a bed inside.
When he entered the room, Adi was stunned.
In the surrounding rooms, a fresh fragrance slowly permeated from the surroundings, bringing with it a restless pulsating feeling.
"Ingredients such as Cuilan grass and Anla root have been detected, which have strong aphrodisiac effects." The voice of the chip machine sounded in his mind.
Listening to the mechanical prompts from the chip in his mind, Athir frowned and his eyes fell on the bed in front of him.
It was a very large bed. Under the quilt made of fine silk, it seemed as if something was curled up inside, revealing its slender and white thighs from time to time.
She was a very beautiful girl with long golden hair. She was wearing a layer of gauze, and her key parts were faintly visible, making her look extremely attractive.
After seeing Athir coming, she looked up at Athir nervously, her beautiful face was obviously confused and blushing, she was staring at Athir's handsome face, with a little heat and desire in her eyes.
Standing there, quietly looking at the obviously aroused girl, Athir's face was calm as he looked to the other side of the bed.
There were three or four figures on this spacious bed, including a little girl who looked twelve or thirteen years old, and a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her thirties. They were all lying on the bed with flushed bodies.
"grown ups···"
Feeling Athir's gaze, the girl on the bed had a dazed look in her eyes and murmured softly, as if she was longing or calling.
"go out."
Looking at the women lying on the bed in front of him, Atier's face was calm, not affected by the surrounding environment at all.
"Ah?" The girl in front was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Athir meant.
"never mind."
Looking at them like this, Athir had no intention of continuing to speak and turned around and walked out of the room.
When he walked into the room, to Athir's surprise, there were two guards guarding the door, apparently to prevent others from disturbing him.
"Arrange another room for me."
Looking at the guard in front of the door with an embarrassed expression on his face, Atier didn't bother to argue and spoke directly.
"Just an ordinary room to rest in will do. There's no need for anything extra in it."
Standing there and thinking for a while, Athir added.
In front of him, the two guards looked at each other.
the next day.
Early in the morning, led by a servant, Athir quickly walked to the restaurant, where Radel and Keg were already waiting there.
"Haha, Athir, you're here."
Looking at Athir's figure, Radel showed a meaningful smile on his face and laughed loudly: "How did you feel last night? Did you have a wonderful night?"
"It's just an ordinary night." Listening to the other party's words, Athir's face remained calm and he just shook his head and said.
"Radel, don't think of Athir as someone like you."
On the side, looking at the two people in front of him, Keg also teased: "Athir didn't do anything last night. He went to live in another room alone. Unlike you who likes to enjoy yourself at your age."
"No way?" Hearing this, looking at Athir in front of him, Radel's eyes widened: "No wonder the person Radel arranged for you doesn't suit your taste? Or do you, Athir, not like women?"
Hearing Radel's words, Keg turned around, obviously also curious about this question.
For the promiscuous nobles, male fetishism is nothing. There are many nobles with unique tastes and a love for novelty who like this.
In this regard, although wizards are much better than nobles, there are also people with unique tastes or even psychopaths everywhere, so it is normal to have such fetishes.
"I just don't like this style..."
Listening to what the two people in front of him said, although Atier's expression remained calm, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He looked directly at the two people in front of him and spoke.
