Wizard Immortal

Chapter 562 Invitation and Banquet

Stepping into the room, the young man looked around.

The fairly spacious room was decorated exquisitely. On a bed, a handsome young man in a white robe sat quietly, his long silver hair quite eye-catching.

Upon seeing the boy, the young man nodded and gave a friendly smile: "Hello."

"Who are you?"

Adir got out of bed, put down what he was holding, looked up and sized up the young man in front of him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

The young man was fairly handsome, with a neat short haircut and wearing a black uniform with wizard runes flashing on it. It looked like a high-level enchanted item for defense.

What attracted Adir's attention the most was the mental fluctuation emanating from the other party, which was far stronger than that of an ordinary person, surpassing that of a formal wizard and faintly reaching the peak of the first level, although it appeared somewhat weak at the moment.

Please allow me to introduce myself.

The young man smiled politely and bowed slightly to Adir in a wizard's salute, appearing both courteous and proper: "I am the chief guard of the Central Tower. You may call me Nedwin."

As he spoke, he secretly observed Adir's reaction.

Across from him, Adir simply nodded slightly upon hearing the young man's words, seemingly without any particular reaction, as if he had heard something trivial.

Adir had only been in this area for half a month, and had only been in the city for two days. He had no concept of the so-called central tower, so naturally he didn't have any special reaction.

However, on the other side, Nedwin was secretly surprised as he observed Adir's reaction, and his smile became even more humble.

"On behalf of the citizens last night, I would like to express my gratitude to you. You saved many lives last night."

"I was wondering if you have time tonight."

Nedwin smiled and extended an invitation to Adir: "A banquet will be held tonight in the central square. If you have the time, would you mind joining me as a guest?"

"Thank you, it's my pleasure." Adir nodded, thought for a moment, and finally didn't refuse: "I'm free tonight."

"Then I welcome you with open arms." Nedwin's smile remained unchanged. "A driver will come to pick you up in a while, or you can make your own way to the banquet venue if you wish."

After saying that, he went on to talk to Adir about other things.

From subtly inquiring about his origins to asking about Adir's purpose in coming to the city, Nedwin asked almost everything he could before reluctantly bidding farewell and leaving with a look of reluctance on his face.

Before leaving, while Adir had his back to him, he raised his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

A faint spiritual force rose from his body, extremely subtle, without even causing any elemental fluctuations.

Then, in his eyes, Adir before him instantly began to change.

Light, endless light.

Countless elemental lights rose from Adir's body, like the blazing sun high in the sky, or like raging thunder, almost engulfing him.

Seeing this scene, Nedwin felt as if he had seen the most terrifying creature. His entire spirit was as if it had fallen into the deepest sea, and was instantly submerged by the surging waves, unable to find the edge of return.

Terrifying! Utterly hopeless!

Nedwin's mind began to wander, the color in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his consciousness was on the verge of paralysis.

Until, a gentle voice sounded in my ear.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing the sound, Nedwin abruptly raised his head, his back already completely soaked with sweat, his face deathly pale.

He looked up and saw Adir staring at him strangely. "Is there anything else?"

"No! It's all over now!"

Nedwin forced a smile, suppressing the urge to run away, and slowly walked outside with trembling legs.

"This terrifying essence, this vast spiritual power! Just a fleeting glimpse almost made me completely lose myself..."

Stepping outside, dragging his somewhat weary body, Nedwin still felt a lingering fear as he recalled the scene he had just witnessed: "At least a peak third-tier wizard, perhaps even a fourth-tier one!"

"A person like that, even at the Central Tower, would be qualified for a high-ranking position. What's he doing in this small city?"

"That technique was quite good." On the other side, sitting on the large bed in the hotel, feeling the softness of the sheets, Adir watched Nedwin's figure leave before turning his gaze away.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. With the opponent being less than a level two wizard, it would be difficult for him to avoid being discovered when trying to spy on a great wizard who was close to the peak of level four.

If it weren't for Adir's relatively good temper, a different great wizard would probably have made the other party understand on the spot why the flowers were so red.

"Having displayed our strength, things should be much easier for them if they know what's good for them. Also, tonight's banquet might be an opportunity to make contact with the world's higher-ups."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Adir pondered this.

Upon arriving in the High Domain, he had no intention of feigning weakness to deceive others. Instead, he sought opportunities to proactively demonstrate his strength and value, thereby establishing connections with the major powers of this world.

That was partly the reason he performed so diligently last night.

"In the coming days, let's quickly learn about the major powers in this world."

Adir got up, put on his outer robe, and walked outside.

Several hours later, as night fell, a lavish car pulled up in front of Adir, and the driver respectfully got out and invited Adir to get in.

This is the driver that Nedwin arranged to pick us up.

Nodding slightly, and seeing the occasional look of amazement and envy on the faces of the pedestrians around him, Adir, despite not knowing much about such things, vaguely understood that this car was probably not an ordinary item.

Not long after, just a moment later, as the vehicle quietly came to a stop near a square, Nedwin's figure appeared in the vicinity.

"Welcome, my friend."

Accompanied by several servants, Nedwin watched Adir approach from afar with a genuine smile on his face. Looking at Adir before him, he solemnly performed a respectful bow.

"This is the Central Academy's wizarding ceremony. Is this young man also a wizard?"

Those watching from afar were astonished: "And a wizard of a higher rank than Mr. Nedwin?"

There is a clear hierarchy among wizards, and the etiquette between high-ranking and low-ranking wizards is different.

At this moment, the greeting Nedwin showed to Adir was the kind of greeting a lower-ranking wizard would show to a higher-ranking wizard. That's why those who knew Nedwin's background were so surprised and took Adir even more seriously.

This one detail alone saved Adir a lot of trouble.

Nedwin led him into the banquet hall, and with the help of a servant, Adir took a seat and then looked around.

Unlike other places, all the guests seated at this banquet were wizards and knights, even the weakest of whom were at least third-class apprentices.

This seems to be a subtle division of social class; those who do not possess a certain level of strength are simply not qualified to enter this banquet.

With this in mind, Adir raised his head and looked in a certain direction in the distance.

In that direction, a beautiful girl, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen, had a bright smile on her face and was looking at him with her big, dark eyes, seemingly very interested in him.

Adir responded with a smile, raised his glass to the girl-like figure in the distance, and then drank it down in one gulp.

After Adir took his seat, people came to greet him from time to time. There were all sorts of people, but the vast majority were young women.

Unfortunately, although they look like young girls, according to Adir's own perception, the youngest one here is probably over twenty years old, and the oldest one is almost over a hundred years old, yet they still maintain the appearance and face of a young girl.

Adir returned each greeting from the strangers, looking less like a strict wizard and more like a well-mannered nobleman.

"Is that the great wizard you discovered?"

On one side of the banquet hall, a woman stood next to Nedwin, looking at Adir's performance in the distance with some surprise.

"No one stipulates that powerful wizards must be rigid old-fashioned; there are also those who are easygoing and approachable."

Nedwin looked at the guests walking towards Adir with some helplessness and shook his head: "If these people knew that the person in front of them was a great wizard who could wipe out their entire family with a wave of his hand, I wonder if they would still dare to be so casual."

"Who knows? Maybe they'll be even more enthusiastic."

The woman twitched her lips and looked at Nedwin beside her, chuckling, "Isn't this exactly what you planned? You almost ransacked your own little treasure trove just to flatter this great wizard."

"How could I possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?" Nedwin smiled, unconcerned about his female companion's teasing. "My elemental light has been fully condensed, and I'm just one step away from advancing to a second-level wizard. If I can get the help of this great wizard, perhaps I can succeed smoothly."

"Would you be willing to miss out on such an opportunity?"

"Just be careful." The woman nodded and said nothing more.

After sending away a "young girl" who was at least two hundred years old, Adir finally calmed down.

At this point, as the banquet progressed, distinguished guests began to arrive one after another, greatly attracting the attention of the others.

In addition, Adir deliberately sat in a corner, so naturally fewer strangers came up to talk to him.
