Since the venue is large enough, each president is assigned a suite.

After placing his luggage, Rhodes didn't know what to do.

Makarov said: "Don't be restrained. Although it is a conference venue, the atmosphere here is not that serious. Just relax a little and treat it as if you are staying in an ordinary hotel."

"Can I look around?"

"As long as you don't tear this place down, it's up to you."

"Okay, then I'll go out for a while."

"Remember to go to the banquet hall for lunch later. The meeting won't start until the afternoon."

Rhodes waved and left the room: "Receive·Canyon Swift Crab."

Makarov looked at Rhodes who had turned into a green afterimage, and gently twirled his beard:

"This form seems to have enhanced water combat capabilities and vision? Isn't this child going to check for safety hazards?"

He guessed right. Rhodes took the opportunity to visit the venue to see if there was anything suspicious. He also took a walk around to observe the nearby terrain.

Since he was going out with the president this time, Rhodes didn't make much preparation. He just had to check the surrounding situation a little.

The presidents of other guilds arrived at the venue one after another. Many people caught a glimpse of a green figure flashing past, but most of them didn't pay attention.

Rhodes found that the vigilance of these guild leaders was not very high, and no one stopped him to ask questions when he looked so suspicious.

Near noon, Rhodes completed his 'visit'.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are so many guild leaders gathered here, and there are a lot of people who can fight. There shouldn't be anyone who is so blind as to come here to attack, right?

When Rhodes found the banquet hall, more than forty people had gathered inside, sitting at separate tables.

Before coming, the president told him that usually only about thirty people come to attend meetings, and occasionally there are people who don't have time to attend.

As for the extra ones, they may have been brought out to see the world by their respective presidents just like him.

There are about 500 regular magician guilds in the entire Ishgar continent, and there are nearly a hundred in Fiore alone.

A local guild alliance with more than thirty guilds is no longer considered a small organization.

Makarov waved to Rhodes: "Finally back, Rhodes, come here quickly."

"President." When Rhodes came to the table, the first thing he saw was a familiar face, "President Goldman, hello."

"Ah~ it's you, hello." Goldman was somewhat impressed by Rhodes.

"Hahahaha..." Makarov showed off,

"How about it? This is Rhodes who joined our guild half a year ago. He only learned magic for half a year and became an excellent mage. That's great!"

"So you are Rhodes-chan~ You are so cute~"

The speaker has a bald head, blush, and heart-shaped lipstick. He is wearing a pink vest, a pair of small wings on his back, and high heels on his feet.

But Rod knew his gender was male.

"You...are you President Bobu of Cyan Pegasus? This is the first time we meet. Hello."

Bob held his chin in one hand and said, "Oh~ It's so cute to be so polite!"

"Well, for the previous matter, I would like to thank Mr. Shipiki of your guild for your help."

Rhodes tried his best to maintain a smile. This table should all be friends of the president, so they couldn't be rude.

To a certain extent, Cyan Pegasus is really a scary guild. Not only is Mr. Ichiya, whom Erza is not good at dealing with, but also President Bob, who is not good at dealing with Rhodes.

Makarov drank several more drinks happily, bragging about how well Rhodes completed the task and even earned him a commendation.

When he said this, the presidents at this table could understand that this child could do such a difficult thing, and his future was limitless.

"Oh~ I seem to have heard some rumors about the Variety Beast Tamer or something..."

"I have an impression too."

Several presidents remembered some rumors about Rhodes.

"Haha!" Makarov became even more happy, "Let me just say that the children in our guild are very good!"

The beast tamer... is still ever-changing... The more Rhodes listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Now he somewhat understands the feelings of those children whose parents show off their dark histories.

When I get the little dragon out, I will ride it around Fiore every day, and sooner or later I will change my nickname to Dragon Knight, the domineering type of dragon tamer!

But if you are so arrogant, there is a risk of being beaten to death by a dragon... it is better to be cautious.

The beast tamer was also pretty good. He tricked people into fighting in close quarters, and then he raised his hand and saw a big-eared razor with a red buff. After finally getting through the president's show-off session, Rhodes sat down to eat quietly.

I have to say, the food here tastes good.

Listening to the chats among the guild presidents, it seems that the president of a small guild is personally responsible for the food here.

The name of their guild is Kitchen God's Knife, and the requirement to join the guild is that you must know some cooking skills.

I don’t understand why their founder didn’t set up a chef guild instead of a magicians guild.

Anyway, thanks to them, Rhodes felt a little happy about the regular meeting.

But he soon became worried about the president's condition: "President, you drink so much, can you still have a meeting in the afternoon?"

"It's just a little wine, I'll wake up soon, hiccup~"

"You've already burped after drinking..."

"It doesn't matter. At worst, you can speak for me this afternoon, Hier~"

"Don't be so willful. How am I qualified to speak at this kind of meeting?"

"I told you it's not that serious here, don't be verbose, why are you like Mira..."

Rhodes: "..."

Okay, take note, at 12:30 noon on January 15th, the president said Mira was long-winded.

President Bob said sympathetically: "Oh, Rod-chan is also having a hard time~"

Rhodes sneered: "Haha, not bad, not bad."

The first meeting of the regular meeting was held at two o'clock in the afternoon. Thirty presidents gathered in the conference hall and sat down.

Although Makarov always said he was not that serious, everyone still changed into different clothes from what they had during lunch.

It may not be a common formal dress, but it must bear the logo of your guild.

Rhodes looked around, and the symbols he could recognize were not only the familiar large guilds such as the Four-Headed Hound and the Cyan Pegasus, but also the less famous guilds such as the Giant's Nose, Head of the Headless Knight, and Earth Elf's Wheel.

Of course, there are also some signs that are really unimpressive.

He took a special look and found that President Robin Lu of the Cat's Lodge where Wendy and Xia Lulu were staying was not present.

I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t have time to come, or if I belong to another local guild alliance.

The clothes Makarov wears are more special than other presidents.

Inside were clothes with the guild's logo painted on them, and outside were a coat with the logos of the Ten Great Mages.

In addition to Rhodes, there were ten magicians standing behind the president. It seemed that people other than the president were not allowed to listen.

There is nothing special about the seating arrangement of the presidents. Basically, acquaintances sit together.

However, Goldman, the president of the Four Hounds, was not next to Makarov this time, but sat in the main seat:

"Everyone is here, so the first regular meeting of X784 will begin now."

It seems that it is his turn to host this meeting.

"The first topic of this meeting is about the Kingdom of Fiore's attitude towards magicians."

"As we all know, we magicians once experienced a very dark era. Fortunately, the emergence of the 'guild' allowed us to unite and gradually change this."

"Nowadays, most countries have a friendly attitude toward magicians, and our royal family in the Kingdom of Fiore is very fond of magic."

"But even so, the kingdom's policy is still worthy of our attention. It is related to the future of our magicians."

"I heard that at this year's New Year's celebration in the royal capital, His Majesty the King mentioned in his speech that he hoped to organize a grand gathering of wizards next year, or the year after next."

"Although the specific form and rules have not yet been determined, we need to discuss the impact of this matter on us. If necessary, we can even jointly advise the king or help formulate rules."

President Goldman started his speech with a very serious speech.

Rhodes didn't even expect that President Goldman, who liked to quarrel with the elders of his family and was so childish, could be so reliable in presiding over such a meeting.
Chapter completed!
