Ceres looked at the bird again. Is this a monster? It's so smart and can even use metaphors.
"Shut up!"
The apprentice in front couldn't hold it anymore and cast a silent barrier to prevent the bird from making any sound.
But this bird was really smart. It jumped around and flapped its wings to break the barrier, and soon made sounds again.
"Waste, Vincent, you can't even kill a chicken, waste Vincent."
The apprentice in front frowned, walked quickly, and said nothing more.
Ceres didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of causing the apprentice's disgust. Although the apprentice mage was not strong, it would not be easy for him to trip him up.
"We're here." The apprentice in front stopped and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A healthy voice came from behind the door.
Ceres went in and saw a wizard sitting behind a desk. Sunlight shone through a high window behind him, and it was difficult to see his face for a moment.
"You must be Mr. Ceres, the representative of Carites."
"Yes, it is I, coming here on behalf of Lady Lacey, the successor of the Carites Chamber of Commerce."
"Well, please take a seat."
The Geodor wizard spoke.
"I have seen the letter you sent me and the application to the council, and I discussed this with my colleagues yesterday."
"Although the description in the letter is mostly true, it also matches the intelligence we already know."
"But there are still some key things that need to be verified, because once we take action, it will inevitably affect the interests of Xuehua United."
"This will undoubtedly break a lot of things, such as our previous consistent position and the future situation."
"I understand everything you said. This is what I prepared in advance."
Ceres took out the briefcase from under his arm, which contained not only the official agreement document of Carites, but also the letter of introduction from Mr. Jelinek of the Agatilin family, and the suicide note left by Angus.
After presenting all of this to the wizard on the opposite side, he began to examine and check each one of them, such as the patterns on the contract paper, the extraordinary marks, and the contents of the agreement.
After a long time, he raised his head, pushed his glasses and said.
"You have made thorough preparations. Although the benefits of the agreement to us are not very great, it is still above the bottom line we accept."
"I have to say that Angus has indeed found a good heir."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"It's nothing,"
“I will then present these materials and proposals at the meeting. After discussion, the committee members will decide whether to implement them.”
"How long will it take?" Ceres was a little anxious. After all, the situation was already very tense.
"Don't worry, there will be a meeting this afternoon. Once a decision is made, it will be implemented tomorrow."
"Is it okay tonight?" Ceres asked again.
The old wizard knocked on the table and then answered.
"It seems you are very anxious."
"That's fine, I'll urge the relevant personnel."
"Thank you very much, Master Geodor. The Carites Chamber of Commerce and I will remember your kindness." Ceres finally breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude loudly.
"That's not necessary. This is a way of repaying Mr. Angus. The information and ancient instruments he gave us have changed a lot and are of great benefit to the entire country. The compensation we gave him before was too little, so this can be considered as compensation."
That afternoon, Ceres was walking in front of a tall building.
Near dusk, under a huge stone pillar nearly a hundred meters high, a huge door that could accommodate twenty people walking side by side opened, and wizards dressed in different clothes came out one after another. They had various decorations on their bodies, but they all tended to be natural in style, such as feathers, branches and leaves, shells, flowers, fur, wood carvings, etc.
At this time, Ceres finally waited for Master Geodor. He walked behind him, with short black hair and a calm demeanor.
After seeing Ceres, he was not surprised, but spoke.
"Give my regards to Miss Lacey, the new owner of Carlitos. The first phase of assistance to the Hinayue Council and the Cranberry Kingdom will begin tonight."
Ceres expressed his gratitude with a little excitement, and then that night he was taken to another island by several wizards.
The island looks a bit wild. It is a volcanic island with black smoke rising from the center and the island is filled with a scorching atmosphere.
"Do you want to go back to Hopeland with us?" asked a wizard.
"Yes, this makes some things easier to communicate."
"Okay, now sit tight."
As the wizard finished speaking, a huge black shadow flapped its wings and slowly descended, stopping in front of him. Then more sounds of flapping wings were heard from the sky.
