Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1061 Re-transfer of Ordinary Mage Tower Authority

In addition to the precautions related to controlling the scepter, Master Steven also provided more information about this watchtower, as well as operating instructions.

And all of this, for Xia Duo and Niya who have long been accustomed to the existence of the tower spirit, is a very novel feeling.

But after listening to it a lot, Xia Duo felt a little annoyed by these almost clumsy and cumbersome mechanical operation methods, and there was no harm without comparison.

In the Tower of Time, he can ask Taling to send someone or something directly in front of him, or ask Taling to send someone a message, or set a reminder for a certain time period in the future, or even adjust some function of the region.

But in Watchtower, these are simply impossible to do.

To give another simple example, the Tower of Time has automatic elevators, and here, even the highest authority needs to climb the stairs by themselves.

If you don't want to climb the stairs, you can also cast a spell to teleport yourself. It is impossible to ask the mage tower to help.

All the functions of this watchtower depend on the active control of the relevant authorized person. If the relevant authorized person forgets to operate the command, then I'm sorry. The watchtower will never let the other party have the relevant authority.

In fact, the setting of the internal authority of the watchtower is also very inconvenient.

Except for the control scepter with the highest authority, the rest of the lower-level authorities need to create magic items with relevant marks. Only when they are worn on the body can they have relevant authority. If they don’t have them, then I’m sorry.

……

After finally introducing the positive energy pool on the top floor of the watchtower and the blazing sun array that maintains the "bulb" outside, Steven proposed to borrow the teleportation array from the watchtower:
"Your Excellency Xia Duo, Mage Savile, the handover has been completed, and everything here will be handed over to the two of you. I need to return to Sevington as soon as possible to return to my command. If it is convenient, please let me borrow the teleportation circle here."

"Of course, I would also like to thank Master Steven for the detailed introduction!"

Neither Xia Duo nor Niya has the habit of turning their faces and denying others, but Niya is not proficient in the operation of the watchtower. Under Steven's guidance, it took several attempts to complete the unlocking process of the teleportation circle.

After sending Steven away, Xia Duo and Niya came to the library on the third floor again, looking for the watchtower's operation manual.

As I said before, there is no folding space inside the watchtower. As big as it looks from the outside, it is as big as the inside. This library completely occupies the first floor, but there are not many books in it.

There are only two bookshelves, and they are not full yet.

The two easily found a few operating manuals in a corner that had obviously gone through a long time and were full of traces of reading. They each took one and read it.

Niya slowly flipped through the pages, but Xia Duo only quickly flipped through it and then put it down. Then he quickly recalled the contents of the manual here, thought for a while, and said to Niya:
"Let's maintain the original operating instructions for the time being."

"Maintain the original order?"

Niya happened to turn to the introduction to the reset command in the manual. Seeing what Xia Duo said, she couldn't help being curious, "If you don't change the new command, don't you worry that there will be loopholes being exploited by the mages who were here before?"

"Don't worry, as long as you cancel the other lower-level permissions, of course, in the long run, it is imperative to replace the new command. But now you haven't even figured out the general function of the watchtower, so you just change the new command rashly, I'm just worried about loopholes!"

After reading the operation manual, Xia Duo naturally knew that the control of this mage tower was indeed the same as Steven described before, which was quite complicated.

If you don't pay attention, there may indeed be negligence, resulting in a loophole in permissions.

In the past, the instructions recorded in the watchtower's operation manual and the relevant authority settings have been quite complete. As long as the lower-level authority is cancelled, you can feel at ease to explore.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the builder and the previous controller did not leave a back door, and the control scepter Nya got is the real highest authority.

Speaking of it, it is true that the mage tower, an important asset that allows mages to live and work, is designed and led by themselves, so it is more at ease to use.

……

Niya accepted Xia Duo's suggestion, but she put down the operation manual in her hand and handed over the control scepter to Xia Duo:
"I think you should control this mage tower. Recently, I have some new ideas on the study of magic background fluctuations. I don't want to be distracted by the mage tower at this time."

With that said, Niya was about to untie the link with the control scepter.

But this kind of action really scared Xia Duo, and he quickly stopped Niya, "Have you forgotten how Steven transferred the authority just now? If you disconnect the link here, the watchtower will immediately enter the alert state. Afterwards, even if you accept the control scepter again, you will not be able to obtain real authority!"

Perhaps even the designer of the watchtower never thought of such a situation. If Niya were to disconnect, she would be trapped here with Xia Duo.

Even if it is an uncontrolled mage tower, it is not an easy task to escape from it.

Niya is aware of her recklessness, but she doesn't plan to change the decision she has made, "The place where we will be most active in the future will definitely be the Tower of Time, and it doesn't matter who controls it.

"But if it's me, it may take a long time to fully control this place. You don't want us to sneak in and destroy this mage tower as soon as we take over! So you should do it!"

"Niya, you—" Xia Duo still wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the possibility Nya mentioned, he was really worried.

With him taking over the Watchtower, it is true that he can control it faster than Niya taking over. Since Niya doesn't mind, why should he insist on refusing it!

In fact, as a senior arcanist, no matter which organization he joined, he would be allocated a mage tower like a watchtower, which was considered the most basic treatment.

But to be honest, ordinary senior arcanists don't think much of such a mage tower.

As Niya said, the place where the two will stay most often in the future will definitely be the Tower of Time, which is just a place to obtain Mithril shares from the Arcane Federation and pilot subsidies from the Sevington Council.

It really doesn't need to think too much.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo didn't refuse again, and soon, he and Niya came to the inheritance room on the main control floor again.

Just like Steven's transfer of authority before, Niya's transfer of authority is also very simple this time, as long as she unlocks the link with the control scepter on the inheritance circle, and then replaces it with Xia Duo to link.

After the final operation, the highest authority of this watchtower fell on Xia Duo.

"Come with me, let me make you a badge of subordinate authority first, otherwise we will have to stay together all the time, which is very inconvenient."

"Well, I knew it was right to hand over the watchtower to you!"
