Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys-Chapter 1396 - 474: Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon
With the Dragan Empireβs airship fleet gradually landing at the official airship dock near Westin City Hall.
A group of people led by an elderly man were already waiting at the docking point. π³ππ²ππ¨ππ―πππ§ππΉ.π°πΌπ
Rein also spotted a familiar faceβthe Federationβs envoy who previously visited the Empire, Special Envoy Trena.
Today, she was clearly dressed with special care.
Trena was wearing a waist-cinched, light white silk blouse with wide sleeves, elaborately adorned with lace at the collar and cuffs, exuding a subtle opulence in both material and craftsmanship.
Her lower body attire was relatively simple, a pair of form-fitting and elastic black riding pants, which excellently outlined her voluptuous curves.
The entire ensemble was luxurious yet practical.
Despite her status as a Federation envoy, she stood half a step behind the elderly man.
Evidently, this elderly man was the principal host, holding a position above Trena.
Rein could sense that although this man was also a Transcendent, his level of competence was not high, approximately at the Knight Peak or Great Knight level.
This is the difference compared to the Empire.
Although individual strength isnβt particularly formidable, he is the Federationβs Deputy Speaker, meaning that in the Federation, personal strength is not the sole determinant of status.
Upon seeing Prince Menia in a red Wizard Robe step off the gangway first, the Federation crowd immediately greeted him with smiles.
"Your Highness Prince Menia, welcome to the Federation, this is our Federation Deputy Speaker, Bertrand Ruiz." Trena introduced with a smile.
"Welcome to the Federation, Prince Menia." The elderly man named Bertrand said with a radiant smile.
"Bertrand, you are too kind; itβs an honor for me to visit the Federation." Menia nodded with a smile.
....
The official diplomacy segment followed, and Menia also briefly introduced his entourage.
"This is Guardian Reginald from our Dragan Empire."
"Welcome to the Federation, Lord Reginald..."
"This is Lord Rein, representative of our Imperial Swordsmen."
"Lord Rein, you are truly young..."
...
"Lord Rein, we meet again." At this point, Trena elegantly approached, smiling.
"Lady Trena, long time no see, your charm remains unchanged." Rein slightly bowed.
"Oh? You two know each other?"
βRed Queenβ Meniaβs eyes flickered with surprise, and she lingered her gaze on Rein for a moment.
"Yes, Your Highness Menia, during my visit to the Empire, we were attacked by Corruption Dragon Agnes, and at that time, it was Lord Rein who ensured our safety."
"Indeed it was."
...
After some casual conversation, the Federation staff escorted the Empire Delegation towards Westin City Hall.
The first banquet hall was already adorned with flowers, ready for the subsequent welcome ceremony.
However, as they walked, Rein subtly sensed a feeling of scrutiny.
He noticed one gaze seemed to frequently settle on him amidst the crowd.
To others, this observation might be subtle, but for him, a Fourth Level Dawn Wizard, the repeated scrutiny was very apparent.
Thus, Rein slightly turned his head and spotted the observer.
The observer was a young woman, quite beautiful, but he was certain he had never met her before.
βPerhaps because among the Empireβs delegates, I am relatively young?β
However, since she had been observing him persistently from the beginning, Rein couldnβt help but pay more attention to her.
Interestingly, the weak particles around her were so familiar to Rein.
They were also Metal Series particles.
βA Metal Series Wizard? Interesting.β
Rein couldnβt help but ponder.
...
Just as the group headed towards the banquet hall.
Suddenly, a man in Federation military uniform quickly approached Federation Deputy Speaker Bertrand, whispering a few words.
Including Rein, whether it was βRed Queenβ Menia or βEarth Pulseβ Reginald, they were all Dawn Wizards, exceptionally perceptive, so even without deliberately listening, they effortlessly heard what was being said.
"Sir, signs of the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon have been discovered at sea, the entity is swiftly advancing towards the West Coast city of Obedin, expected to arrive in half an hour, your thoughts...."
"Hmm? Didnβt it just attack ten days ago... According to your militaryβs assessment, the Three-headed Sea Dragon wouldnβt be capable of launching an attack for at least another week..."
Upon hearing the officerβs words, Federation Deputy Speaker Bertrand furrowed his brows and responded.
From his expression, he was clearly conflicted.
Because according to diplomatic protocol, naturally, the guests should first familiarize themselves with the Federationβs customs, attend the welcome banquet to deepen rapport, and then discuss cooperation and other matters.
But who would have thought the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon would appear at this moment.
According to its attack pattern, typically after one attack, it wouldnβt launch another for half a month.
Yet now, it was clearly defying the norm.
"Vice Chairman, since the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon has appeared, we should seize the opportunity." Just then, Menia, who had long observed Bertrandβs conflicted demeanor, spoke up.
"If the Federation is already prepared."
"This..." Bertrand was slightly stunned but quickly realized.
