"Let's go, Anvis."
Duke Carrot took the lead and walked towards the door, with Anvis and others following closely behind.
In the center of the square, several Guiding Mages dressed in Pamir Academy Magic Robes were already waiting at the landing point.
Behind them, dozens of newcomers in various outfits gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the Academy's Floating Ship.
"Your Grace."
Upon seeing Duke Carrot and his party arrive, the leading Seventh Rank Mage placed his left hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to the Duke.
Afterward, several Mages slightly adjusted their Magic Robes and performed a formal Mage's salute to the Duke.
The first salute was the ritual of Pamir Academy's greeters when facing the Duke. The second salute represented the respect of a Low Rank Spellcaster towards a Ninth Rank power.
Duke Carrot also responded with a Mage's salute to the greeters before he stepped aside, signaling Anvis to come forward.
