Chapter 1451: Celebration
"Welcome, Lord Congenus!"
Mary showed due respect to the undead lich.
In addition to being the head of the Department of Necromancer at Horton Witch Academy, Congenus was also the only powerful spellcaster that Grimm mentioned would achieve more than him in the future. Either of these two points deserves Mary's respect.
"This is what I should do!"
As the top undead lich, Congenus had long abandoned his rotten skin and transformed his body bones into a strange substance similar to magic crystal. This substance has both super high anti-magic properties and extremely strong defense, and can be immune to attacks from small magic weapons.
Moreover, with the deep fusion of Congenus and the Box of Severe Winter, two layers of magic auras similar to the rule halo lingered on the surface of its lich body.
Ordinary 4th-level wizards, let alone fighting against it, may have to endure the dual invasion of the power of death and the power of winter even if they are a little closer to it, and their own strength will be greatly reduced before the battle begins.
The reason why Congenus was willing to take time out to attend the college celebration was, of course, for Grimm's sake. It raised its crystal head, and two full and round rubies were inlaid in its hollow eye sockets. And its condensed scarlet soul fire like a cross was hidden behind the gemstone.
"I didn't come here alone this time, I brought a few friends with me..." Congenus turned around and introduced to Mary: "This is the snake girl Sisina... This is the King of Sand... They are all old friends that Grimm has dealt with before. And this one is the lich Resas..."
At this point, Congenus suddenly switched to spiritual language and secretly chatted with Mary.
"Resas came here on behalf of the Lich Alliance, and hopes to meet with Lord Grimm. I wonder if Lord Mary can arrange it?"
Mary's expression moved slightly, and her eyes swept across the faces of several visitors one by one.
It must be said that the guy who can deal with Congenus must be at least a 4th level.
The powerful snake lady of level 4, the powerful Zerg lord of level 4, the mysterious lich messenger of level 4... These guys are not easy to deal with, and no one knows when Grimm became friends with them.
"Mr. Congenus, why don't you stay here for a few days? I will try to contact Grimm as soon as possible. If it is appropriate, he will definitely come out to meet everyone!" Mary comforted him gently.
She knew that it was impossible to invite these powerful people from other planes with her own feelings and qualifications. The reason why the other party was willing to come to the wizard world from a distance of billions of miles to participate in the founding celebration of a new force was all for Grimm's face.
From this point of view, it seems that Grimm is not a blank slate in the management of extraterritorial forces.
After getting the promise, Congenus stopped pestering.
At Mary's invitation, they also followed Mary and walked to the banquet platform together.
The banquet platform was a huge square hall of 10,000 meters in size. At the top, three high-backed chairs of different colors were placed in a triangular shape.
The chair in the middle is the largest, dark red in color, and the two smaller chairs are on the left and right, at the back. The left one is pitch black, dotted with silver lights representing stars; the right one is bright red, as dazzling as flowing blood.
Mary walked up in a gorgeous dress, walked straight to the blood-red high chair on the right, turned around and sat down.
Guests and envoys from all sides also entered the venue, and sat down in turn under the guidance of the wizards of the academy, and soon filled the banquet hall.
At this time, many light-bodied elf girls came in one after another, and placed fruit drinks for these wizards and strong men from different planes from all directions. Different races have different preferences, so the contents of the dishes are also different and very different.
Taking advantage of this free time, Mary perched on the chair and looked around, identifying the guests one by one.
Thunder Lord Arms and his lover and subordinates...
The snake woman Sisina and her four tribesmen...
The strange-looking King of Sand was alone...
The lich Congenus and the lich alliance messenger Resas, as well as many subordinates...
Many 4th-level wizards in the central part of the continent and their relatives and subordinates...
And in the front row of the first group on the right side of the banquet hall, Mary saw some alien races whose shapes and appearances were completely different from those of humans.
Henajia, a strange creature living in the deep sea.
They have indigo skin, fine fish scales on their bodies, flat long tails like snakes, and red upper bodies like human beauties. They are generally pretty, with pointed and slender faces, seaweed-like green long hair, purple-black lips, and scallops, corals, night pearls and other ornaments on their necks, wrists and ears.
In fact, most marine creatures look weird and do not conform to the aesthetic view of human wizards. However, the Henaga tribe is an exception. They have a human-like appearance and are not weak in intelligence. Relying on the huge population, they have also cultivated a large number of witches.
Yes, there is a serious gender division among the Henaga. Most male Henaga have changed their professions to melee warriors, while female Henaga are mostly witches or priests.
Although other sea creatures are also strong, only the Henaga tribe is willing to keep in touch with human wizards on land and develop exchanges.
The Hainajia tribe came this time to participate in the founding ceremony of Horton Witch Academy, but in fact they came to meet with the powerful human wizards from all directions, say hello, and trade some wizard resources that both sides urgently need.
The alchemy technology of the sea tribe is extremely primitive and crude, so they are also coveting the magic items, witchcraft props and accessories in the hands of human wizards. And what they can take out are mostly rare deep-sea fish, corals, minerals and other witchcraft materials.
Such an exchange is beneficial to both parties, so the Hainajia people are so keen to participate in all wizard events on the continent!
After nodding to the leader, the Hainajia 4th-level witch Saihe, Mary turned her eyes to the underground people beside them.
Like other planes, the wizard world also has an underground world that is completely isolated from the surface. Although there are extremely scarce resources, food and population there, it also nurtures some unique underground life.
However, it is difficult to cultivate a real spellcaster in such a dark and deep environment, so most of the underground creatures that came to congratulate are special life forms such as lizard assassins and insect spirits.
The reason why they came to participate in the celebration of Horton Witch Academy is similar to that of the Henaga witches, just to take the opportunity to carry out cross-regional trade or resource exchange.
In this regard, if they want to occupy a place in the trade system in the central part of the continent, it is inevitable to negotiate with Horton Witch Academy, the largest wizard organization in the central part. In order to show sincerity, both parties brought a large number of top rare resources unique to their respective regions as gifts.
For these, Mary only needs to accept them with a smile. As for the specific negotiation matters, Emilia or Meryl will discuss them further.
After dealing with the two alien races in a proper manner, Mary turned her attention to the other two wizard organizations that came to congratulate: the Silver Alliance and the Northern Witches.
The representative sent by the Silver Alliance was still the Vice Speaker Meloni, and behind him followed several Alliance members wearing silver robes and silver badges on their chests.
The Silver Alliance is also a wizard organization that does not limit origin and race, but only values personal profound strength. Therefore, the races of the members are quite mixed, from humans, elves, dwarves to ratmen, almost everything.
And these Alliance members are almost all puppeteers, and delicate magic armor structures can be seen everywhere on them. These magic armor structures are like another layer of skin attached to their bodies, engraved with fine and complex magic patterns, and from time to time overflow with eye-catching elemental auras.
This magic armor construction technology is also a unique profound wizard ability of the Silver Alliance.
Once a battle is needed, these magic armor structures that look like metal ornaments will arm the puppeteers in the shortest time, and the rune magic arrays etched on them can give them special witchcraft abilities.
A puppeteer with a magic armor is equivalent to having an extra piece of magic armor, and it is a magic armor that can help him fight.
Therefore, the puppeteers themselves may be relatively weak, but once they are combined with the magic armor, they can exert a powerful power several times more than their original bodies.
This is an alternative way of strengthening that the esoteric wizards have opened up for themselves!
Seeing Mary's gaze cast over, the deputy speaker Meloni stood up generously and said loudly: "This time, I came here as a congratulatory representative assigned by the alliance speaker Salvini. This is a special gift prepared by our Silver Alliance. I hope that Your Excellency Mary will not dislike it."
After speaking, Meloni winked, and a ratman councilor beside him stood up, took out a square silver chessboard and threw it in the center of the hall.
Then the silver chessboard quickly grew larger, and in an instant it became a huge chessboard covering an area of 100 meters. It was divided into the left and right sides, and 32 metal chess pieces of different colors and shapes stood on each side.
These metal chess pieces are armored warriors holding giant shields and swords, court wizards holding wizard staffs, dwarves pushing magic cannons, and beast trainers driving wild beasts...
Looking at the shape and style, it is a popular board game among the human nobles in the wizard continent.
When the chessboard is unfolded, the metal chess pieces on both sides also begin to move vividly. They roar, roar, or knock on weapons and armor, using all kinds of ways to challenge the chess pieces on the opposite side...
