"Actually, even if you don't come to see me today, I will find time to invite you over for a chat recently."
Congenio's words made Xia Duo a little surprised. He thought of the survey report on the falling price of communication instruments that he had just seen in the office area outside.
But for Congenio, who has actually handed over the work related to the Austrian-French Federation to his successor and only needs to officially announce it to the outside world, there is no need for him to personally intervene in this matter.
For a while, Xia Duo couldn't think of any reason, so he had to get straight to the point again and asked: "Why?"
Through various rumors and several actual contacts, he had some understanding of Congenio's style of dealing with people, which can basically be described in one word - "simple".
Not the simplicity that is simple, but the simplicity that is pure and goes straight to the essence.
In Congenio, Chateau vaguely saw the figure of a monk on the earth. Therefore, he felt that asking questions by himself would not bore the other party. On the contrary, it would be possible to bore the other party if he was doubtful and deliberately did not ask.
Sure enough, Congenio was not bored at all by Xia Duo's inquiry, but explained with a smile: "I will chat with every senior arcanist in the empire. On the one hand, I will meet these
For younger generations with potential, on the one hand, I also tell them some of my own experiences and give them some reference."
When Xia Duo heard this, he immediately stood in awe and praised, "Master, you are so righteous!"
As the saying goes, it is not difficult to do a good deed, but it is difficult to do good deeds throughout your life.
When it comes to Congenio, it is not difficult to support one or two younger generations. What is difficult is to support the younger ones for a lifetime. And judging from Congenio's age of nearly 500 years, this is how many lifetimes an ordinary person has.
It's even harder.
At this time, Xia Duo understood why the transfer of the position of president of the Austrian Law Federation was so uneventful. The transfer had been completed even before it was officially announced to the public.
There must have been discussions with other great arcanists, but Congenio's reputation and status in Netheril are also evident.
Shado suddenly felt that perhaps Congenio was the thickest thigh in Netheril, even thicker than the princess who had ascended to the gods.
Because you have no idea how many people have received his favor in the past few hundred years, and how many of these people have become Grand Arcanists and are still alive today.
There are only fifteen great arcanists in Netheril, so it's definitely not accurate. The only ones Sha Duo knew about were President Jenna of the Clear Water Merchant Guild, and the sudden appearance of Kaos.
There may be even more hidden ones!
The relationship between the caster and the caster is relatively restrained in emotions, but it is obvious that humans are not grass and trees, and no one can be ruthless. Where there is anger, there is joy, and where there is hatred, there is love.
As the oldest known great arcanist with a very positive reputation, Congenio's thighs are definitely not ordinary thick!
Of course, as an elder who has seen through the world, Congenio's lap is by no means something that ordinary people can easily embrace.
If it's not what he wants, maybe he won't be able to embrace it even if he screams. But if it's what he wants, maybe he won't even need to mention it, he will take the initiative to provide shelter, and even more.
You really have the coolness of a monk!
…
"I watched Netheril grow and become stronger. The young people of Netheril are like my descendants. How can I give them more attention and help? It's a pity -
"
Speaking of this, Congenio suddenly sighed, "As people get older, they tend to talk more. Xia Duo, I can call you that. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. As long as I can answer them,
I will try my best to answer.”
"Yes, Master!"
Xia Duo thought about it and didn't ask him about technical issues in the plane field right away. That would have seemed like he was too impatient. He chose to ask about Inocent's situation, which was also a question he was more concerned about.
Moreover, it can also be related to Congenio, so it is suitable for the first question.
"Master, have you heard of Innocent?"
"Innocent?" Congenio repeated the name.
"Yes, it's Innocent!" Shado added, "He is the Nese mage from about two to three hundred years ago, and he is half human and half elf."
"Half man, half elf?"
Hearing this keyword, Congenio's expression suddenly changed while he was thinking about it. Xia Duo, who had been paying attention to this point, immediately realized that there was something wrong and quickly asked: "Master knows this person?"
"Innocent, Inocent!"
Congenio repeated the name several times, with an expression on his face that seemed to be nostalgic or sighing, and then he explained: "I remember this person, and I even met him once!
"Innocent's father was one of the first arcanists in Netheril at that time, and his mother was from a well-known noble family in Erlan. But unfortunately, Innocent's father died in an arcane fire experiment. After that, he
Followed his elf mother to Erlan.
“But not long after he went to Ellan, he was expelled from Tevimansa (the capital of Ellan) by the Moonhorn family in the name of blood. This incident caused a lot of turmoil in Netheril at the time.
"Later I heard that he gathered a group of half-humans and half-elves like him and returned to Netheril, but he did not appear in front of anyone, and I heard nothing about him later."
At the end, Congenio asked curiously: "Where did you know this name?"
Shado did not hide anything, and simply gave a brief summary of how Rodite invited him to explore the Innocent Mage Tower, including the replacement of mithril by miscellaneous crystals, and the fact that the Innocent Mage Tower was suspected of being destroyed by a "plane creation"
Experimental conjecture.
"Replacement of mithril? Experimental accident?"
After listening to Xia Duo's description, Congenio couldn't help but frowned, as if he thought of something bad. He immediately asked: "Are you sure that the last burning man shouted 'Hildalanna'?"
?"
"yes, I'm sure!"
After receiving Xia Duo's affirmative answer, Congenio's brows deepened. Xia Duo did not dare to ask too much when he saw this, and only waited for the master to take the initiative to speak.
After a long time, Congenio let out a long sigh. Looking at Xia Duo's probing eyes, his expression was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but sigh again:
"If I guess correctly, the experimental accident in the Innocent Mage Tower should have been caused by Hildalanna!"
"Is it made by elves? But many books in Innocent's Wizard Tower say that Innocent and Hildalanna have a very good relationship!" Sha Duo expressed his doubts.
"I don't know the real situation of Innocent and Hildalanna getting along, but I can tell you that Hildalanna is now the first heir of the Erlan Moonhorn Family!"
"Hildalanna is still alive?!"
Xia Duo was really shocked now. In such an accident, almost no one ran out (if someone ran out, there wouldn't be the current ruins~), but at the end, the burning person shouted "Hildalana"
Still alive!
If it was really made by elves, there must be a reason!
