Hmm? This pastry tastes pretty good.
Carl's gaze shifted downward, and he pinched another piece, bringing it to his mouth.
Where there are people, there are circles; it's indeed true. Today seems like a gathering, but Modili is actually pulling together connections for himself, for his tutor.
The Swamp Alliance was just established, and there are no obvious factions yet. Could Modili want to start one?
No!
It seems there are already factions. Those who came today are people I've either seen or heard of. So, has Hibell already joined the faction of Modili's tutor?
"Hmm?"
As his thoughts raced, Carl's eyes flickered. He unexpectedly spotted a familiar face in the corner.
Salesman Bunian!
He, despite having no Wizard Talent, had also come to this gathering.
Bunian sat next to a female Wizard Apprentice, diligently attending to her food and drink.
The two of them were acting affectionately, their bodies almost touching, whispering softly to each other from time to time.
