Chapter 527 "Grand Occasion"
"A magician who is not loyal to the Magician's Guild."
Doug Yago mutters and points at the wormwood tea in front of him. "Please, Your Excellency the Duke."
Du Wei smiles.
From the way the chairman addressed him, Du Wei can tell that the other party has a deep grudge against him. For him to deliberately address him as "Your Excellency the Duke", it is clear that he does not want to admit his identity as a magician.
"But I think … … the Magician's Guild should serve the magicians and work hard to promote the magic civilization." Du Wei lightly says: "Tradition needs to be respected, but blindly conservative is not a good idea."
Doug Yago's eyebrows twitch: "Oh, Your Excellency the Duke, are you here to debate with me today?"
Hearing the chairman's question, Du Wei immediately restores his smile: "No, of course not. I am here today to discuss with you and the Magician's Guild under your wise leadership, to make a … … erm, deal."
"Deal?"
Du Wei's smile is undoubtedly very pleasing, but Doug Yago will not be fooled by this pleasing smile. He knows very well that he is facing a cunning little fox.
"Mr. Chairman, a great man once said: There are no eternal friends, nor are there eternal enemies … … There are only eternal interests!" Du Wei drags his tone and slowly says: "And now, I think our deal can be built on a common interest."
… …
… … …
After an hour, Chairman Doug Yago has a gentle smile on his face. At this moment, he no longer has a gloomy expression, but rather a kind and benevolent elder. He even gently hugs Du Wei. Although his robe is very clean, the smell of wormwood still makes Du Wei frown.
Our Duke is very careful to hide this.
"I think we have reached an agreement, right?" Du Wei winks and smiles.
"Of course, my child," Doug Yago once again changed the way he addresses Du Wei: "Sir Du Wei. Deal! "

The final match of the First Under Heaven Tournament is scheduled for the last day of the second month.
However, this match that was supposed to be the focus of public opinion has been overshadowed by another big event in the past few days.
Reliable news came from the palace. The current Emperor of the Roland Empire, Augustine the 6th, is seriously ill. And this time, I'm afraid … I'm afraid that he won't be able to make it through!
Knowing that the old Emperor is about to die, all of the Roland people who heard this news temporarily put the matter of the tournament aside and focused all of their attention on the succession of the throne.
Of course, no one was worried because the Regent had done a good job in the past few years. Except for the snow disaster in the South last year, the war in the Northwest, and the ravaging of the magical beasts, the rest of the Roland Continent could be said to be peaceful and the Empire was stable. The Regent had been in power for three years and his achievements were remarkable.
Everyone believes that the Regent will become a wise and great Emperor. Under his leadership, the Roland Empire will prosper for the next few decades.
At this time, no one is worried about the life and death of Augustine the 6th. In any case, most people don't have a good impression of this militaristic old Emperor. When this old man was on the throne, he didn't hesitate to raise taxes in order to raise military funds!
The content of everyone's discussion was mostly focused on how grand Prince Son's coronation ceremony would be, how charming he would look with the crown on his head, and so on ….
This is an era of peace. The life of the people is peaceful, the country is stable, and the leader is wise … … What else is there to worry about?
It can be said that the Regent is very popular among the people of the Roland Empire. Most people support the young Regent's decision.
For example … the Regent had issued an order. In order to show the support of the Royal Family to the Knight Association, revitalize the spirit of knights on the continent, and promote the martial spirit of the Empire, the Royal Family had decided to hold a grand ceremony in the square in front of the Imperial Palace after the Knight Association's Martial Arts Competition. At the same time, the Regent and Prince Charlie would personally attend, and they would personally hand out "Knight Badges" to the 50 winners of the competition!
At the same time, the Regent will personally hand out the seal of the leader of the "Sword of Roland Knight Regiment" to the winner of the tournament.
On that day, everyone is allowed to go to the square in front of the Imperial Palace to watch the ceremony! At the same time, it was announced that all the nobles and officials in the Imperial Capital will be present to support the Knight's Association!
Even the Magician's Guild has released the news. In order to show their respect for the Knight's Association (after all, they are still one of the two largest magician guild in the continent), the chairman of the Magician's Guild, Mr. Doug Jago, will also lead the members of the Magician's Guild to watch the ceremony. At the same time, the Magician's Guild will gift the 50 winners of the Roland's Sword Knight Regiment a magic weapon each!!
When this news was released, it was truly shocking.
Because although the relationship between the Magician's Guild and the Knight's Association can't be said to be stiff, at least they have always maintained a degree of separation. At this time, the chairman of the Magician's Guild will personally come. This is giving the Knight's Association enough face!
Also … … At that time, the legendary "Spear of Longinus" will also appear on the scene. All the people who come to the Imperial Palace to watch the ceremony will have the opportunity to see the legendary "Holy Spear" with their own eyes!
One piece of exciting news after another made everyone look forward to the huge ceremony in the future … … It has to be said that although the emperor Augustine the 6th is a muddle-headed old man, but during his decades on the throne, his bad habit of being fond of grandiose achievements seems to have infected his people.
On one hand, the people wantonly attacked and criticized the old emperor for constantly increasing taxes, starting the Nanyang War, and making all kinds of huge projects that wasted the country's strength. But on the other hand, the people seem to have gradually become accustomed to all kinds of grand ceremonies and liveliness, and never get tired of it!
For example, the grand scale of the Nanyang Expeditionary Fleet's triumphant return ceremony, although everyone knows that the so-called expedition has become a joke. But this doesn't stop the people's enthusiasm for grand triumphant return ceremonies … … After all, liveliness is the nature of most people.
Who doesn't like to see grand triumphant return ceremonies? Who doesn't like to see grand and solemn royal guards? Who doesn't like to see lively fireworks in the sky?
In contrast, the finals itself seems to be getting more and more inconspicuous.
Originally, although the beautiful warrior has some gimmick, the other contestant in the finals, Kakarrot, really lacks the appeal of the box office … … Unless it's those gamblers who made a big bet, otherwise, who cares which countryside in the mainland Kakarrot came from?
For most people, they would rather see the battle between the beautiful warrior and the Duke of the Tulip Family. What a pity, if only the Duke of the Tulip Family could enter the finals.
Another guess is, when will the Duke of the Tulip Family marry the beautiful warrior?

The last day of February.
On this day, many people in the Imperial Capital woke up very early, and then made ample preparations before rushing to the Imperial Palace's big square. Everyone was looking forward to today's big event. Everyone hoped to get there early so that they could get a better position at the front.
The Imperial Capital's Public Security Department has already dispatched five thousand soldiers early, treating today's ceremony as a major task. Although the majority of the soldiers have been very busy recently, it can even be said that the Imperial Capital's Public Security Department is the only department of the Imperial Capital that doesn't like the Duke of the Tulip Family!
Isn't that right! Originally, everyone was very idle, working step by step and patrolling.
But when the Duke of the Tulip Family returned to the Imperial Capital, he created a lot of trouble. That damn martial arts tournament has caused the Public Security Department's officials and soldiers to not have a holiday for more than two months!
Today … … is naturally no exception.
Since dawn, a large number of Public Security Department's soldiers have been patrolling the streets leading to the Imperial Palace's square. As for the Public Security Department's commander, although this kind of grand ceremony is a headache, but under the Regent's order, he had to bid farewell to his warm bed and personally led more than two thousand elite soldiers to the Imperial Palace's square early in the morning.
In the morning, all the streets leading to the Imperial Palace's square in the Imperial Capital were crowded with people. The Public Security Department's soldiers were sweating profusely as they tried their best to form a human wall to control the flow of people. The soldiers used all their strength and risked being trampled to death by the crowd. An officer stood on a high platform and used a rolled-up iron loudspeaker to shout in the direction of the crowd.
Everything is so busy.
The square in front of the Imperial Palace is already crowded with people. The big square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is almost full.
Everything is just like a summer festival — — no, it's even more lively than a summer festival!
Under the Imperial Palace, a huge ring has been set up. This will be the venue for today's final match. Under the Imperial Palace's wall, a row of aristocratic grandstands was set up.
Our Deron Knight is a little dissatisfied with this arrangement. After all, if the competition is not held in the Knight's Association, he will lose a lot of box office earnings.
But Deron is still satisfied. At least today, he is qualified to stand side by side with Prince Charlie and the Magician's Guild's Chairman, Mr. Doug on the Imperial Palace's tower! This was an honorable honor.
Oh, in the square that morning, the Regent of the Empire did not appear on the grandstand as previously agreed.
Our Prince Regent has stood the masses up.
But the news immediately spread. It is said that in the Imperial Palace, the old Emperor's condition suddenly worsened. As the son of the Regent, he can only choose to stay in the Imperial Palace and accompany his father. But here, his son, Prince Charlie, can only be the representative to attend.
•
When the honor guard blew the bugle horn, the loud and neat bugle horn immediately caused the ant-like crowd to boil up.
The sound of the horn aroused the crowd's excitement. Countless people cheered for the horn. People threw their hats up to the sky and watched the ribbons flying up and down the ring.
Above and below the Imperial Palace, the fully armed Imperial Guards wearing the brightest armor had also become a beautiful scenery!
Clearly, because of his previous life's experience, Du Wei has a lot of ideas and gimmicks to hold this kind of large scale event.
Between the Imperial Palace's tower and the ring below, a two meter wide passage was built using wooden frames. When Dawn arrived, the Chairman of the Continental Knight's Association, His Excellency Deron, stepped on a red carpet and walked through the wooden passage to the ring.
Then, with the help of a sound amplifying magic array, the Chairman of the Continental Knight's Association loudly announced that in order to determine the champion of the competition, the final match has officially begun!
Then, Kakarrot and Aylu appeared at the same time, causing the crowd to erupt into cheers … of course, these cheers were mostly for Aylu!
But there is also a pity …
Because when the crowd saw Aylu still wearing her mask, they all let out a sigh … … the sigh of tens of thousands of people gathered together, creating a spectacular scene!
Previously, there was news saying that this mysterious beautiful warrior may take off her mask in the finals. But there is also news saying that she will only take off her mask if she wins the championship.
Although in the semifinals, when the Duke of the Tulip Family kissed her, they had already seen the beautiful face of this beautiful warrior. But that was only a fleeting glimpse.
The sound of a gong rang out! The competition has begun!
(As I said, yesterday's three chapters were not an eruption, just to make up for it.
Today is the eruption. Take out your monthly tickets, there will be an update in the evening!)
