Chapter 591
"Dear Archmage! What should we do next?"
Pat could hear the excitement in his own voice.
The king personally invited him to meet alone, not to mention Pat and his father, Baron Cynal. Even if the scope was extended to the entire Ceylon Territory, the number of people who could receive such an honor could be counted on one hand.
Either a noble of the level of the Countess of Ceylon, granted a fief by His Majesty Kenreddin;
Either you have to make an extremely significant contribution or accomplish an amazing deed.
People like Viscount Tostin had no chance to meet alone. They could only see His Majesty the King up close during the collective canonization ceremony.
Pat could only guess based on his imagination.
Maybe there will be a special court etiquette officer to train them on the etiquette and procedures they need to pay attention to when meeting the king?
Will they have gorgeous tailor-made formal gowns?
Will they walk proudly into the palace on a bright sunny morning, to the warm welcome of the palace band?
Will their names and deeds be taken by the bards to all parts of the Prentiss continent? How many people will hear about Pete Chinner's glorious deeds?
Pete felt excited just thinking about it.
Alcandas smiled mysteriously and did not immediately answer Pet's question:
"Follow me, you will find out when we get down."
…
Walking down the narrow stairs in the corner of the attic of the mage tower, after passing through the archmage's living room, study, storage room, secret treasure house and other areas, they arrived at the living room almost at the bottom of the mage tower.
There is also a strong magical style here.
【Lighting】Provide bright lamps;
The [Mage Hand], which is powered by the Mage Tower and continues to exist, uses a variety of cleaning tools to keep all the furniture spotless.
The three of them had just sat on the soft sofa when their bodies began to be massaged rhythmically;
The swaying tea set flew from the air, and the teapot jumped up automatically, pouring the steaming tea evenly into the silver teacup next to it;
The teaspoon next to it gently taps the container containing milk, sugar, lemon slices, honey and other condiments, making a tinkling sound to remind guests to choose their favorite flavor.
Lancelot had never seen such a scene before and was so nervous that he felt at a loss.
Everything here has been cast with [activation magic] and possesses a certain degree of "intelligence".
The scope of activation magic is very broad.
It ranges from activating a broom and a spoon to activating a majestic sculpture.
Depending on the activated items, the complexity of the magic model that needs to be constructed is also different, and the consumption is even different.
This is a magic with a strength rating ranging from level 1 to level 6.
Although magic has been integrated into daily life to a great extent after the influx of a large number of followers of the Seeking Church in the Ceylon area, it has not yet spread to the extent that any piece of furniture can be activated by activation magic.
Not to mention whether there are so many spellcasters to maintain the continuous effect of activation magic, the materials it needs to consume alone are a large expense.
Peter had some experience and said softly to the teaspoon: "Just a little sugar."
The silver teaspoon jumped happily into the container of sugar, scooped out a little, and waved slightly in the air to signal to Pat.
"Okay, no problem."
After receiving the guest's confirmation, Teaspoon immediately poured the sugar into the teacup, stirred it lively for a while, then flew away swaying and ran to clean himself.
Miranda and Lancelot saw this and hurriedly followed suit.
"Hehehe, there probably haven't been many guests recently, and these little guys are a little lonely." Archmage Alcandas smiled and explained to Peter and others: "They have no malicious intent, and I hope they won't cause you any trouble. "The Archmage also poured a cup of tea, into which a tablespoon of sugar and honey had just been secretly added with a teaspoon.
"Ah ha, the little ones still know my hobbies so well."
"As I get older, I just like to drink sweet things. After all, I have suffered too much before!"
Alcandas took a sip of the sweet tea, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Peter was inexplicably curious. Why wouldn't a 116-year-old Archmage worry about tooth decay when he drinks such sweet stuff every day?
But he really didn't have the nerve to ask.
"Back to the subject, my mission has been completed here. His Majesty the King asked me to send you an invitation and send you to the royal capital."
"Follow-up matters - there will be a dedicated person responsible for communicating with you."
As he said that, Alcandas glanced at the grandfather clock in the living room: "It's almost time. He should be here soon. Please wait a moment."
The Archmage was drinking his sugar water, shaking his head and walking towards the Mage Tower. He was still humming a folk tune that he didn't know about that place, and left the living room.
…
Just as the Archmage had estimated, when the hour hand of the grandfather clock pointed in the direction of 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a wave that was slightly familiar to Peter suddenly surged through the room.
It was the feeling of shadow energy being stirred.
Because Rena often enters and exits [Stealth] beside him, Peter is quite familiar with the fluctuations of shadow energy.
A middle-aged female figure suddenly appeared in the living room of the Mage Tower.
The other person was wearing a smart, tight-fitting leather jacket, a black mask and a hood, with only a pair of eyes and ears exposed.
Peter was able to tell her gender solely through the curvy body curves of her body.
"Mr. Chinal, Ms. Warren, Mr. Smith."
"MI6, 'Index Finger' Evelyn, please allow me to say hello to you on behalf of His Majesty Kenreddin."
Pet and Miranda were both stunned.
They both knew what "MI6" stood for.
This is a not-so-well-known internal secret intelligence organization.
It is said that all the spies inside are senior stalkers. Without exception, they are directly loyal to the royal family, responsible for investigating and collecting various intelligence and information in the Kingdom of Reyak, and then reporting them to His Majesty the King truthfully.
When nobles and officials fail to perform their duties, their evidence will be secretly collected by MI6 spies, and then handed over to His Majesty the King for judgment and punishment.
MI6 spies are elusive. Although this organization really exists, few people have seen real MI6 members with their own eyes.
After joining MI6, spies will completely give up their former lives, hide in the shadows forever, and become the eyes and ears of the royal family in the shadows.
Pete suddenly felt that something was not right.
Didn't Archmage Alcandas say that His Majesty the King was going to invite them to meet in person?
Shouldn't the person who was meeting them be a court ceremonial officer who was in perfect accordance with etiquette?
Instead, an MI6 spy came to meet them? !
...
There's more in the evening! A little later!
