Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1119 God Slaughter Guess Audit Issues
The divine grace Eberke received was worse than that of Xiaduo, and it was all about "achievements". The two chatted about the divine grace for a while, and then returned to the Tower of Time together.

Now the magic net environment outside the Tower of Time has been fully restored, and the Codex sculpture is almost complete.

As for the familiarity of the citizens with the laws related to granting land, Xia Duo's understanding of Leiden should be about the same, enough to make them a key node in the cycle of order in the land granting ceremony.

And the "Yuanfang" carrying the bards from the north has also arrived in the Great Xia Territory. The only thing that is missing from the ceremony of granting the land is the final completion of the Codex Square.

From the end of the exploration of the ruins of the Innocent Mage Tower to the present, Xia Duo was busy with a comprehensive inspection of the watchtower and maintenance of the blazing sun magic circle, and then busy with repairing the magic net and designing and manufacturing the sculpture of the Codex.

After being so busy, Xia Duo can finally relax for a few days.

However, being relaxed doesn't mean not doing anything, it's just that the sense of urgency before is gone, and I've become much calmer and more relaxed.

Tower of Time, Materials Department.

The sudden arrival of Xia Duo made Cecily put down the work in hand and stood up to greet her, "My lord, why are you here?"

"Come over and have a look, don't be too polite."

While signaling Cecily to sit first, Xia Duo picked up a document on her desk, glanced at it, put it down again, and then asked, "Has the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce sent someone here?"

"not yet."

"not yet?"

Xia Duo couldn't help frowning. He was busy and didn't pay attention to this matter, but he remembered clearly that he had notified the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to send someone to discuss the new magic materials for the Tower of Time more than ten days ago. purchase agreement.

Unexpectedly, after so many days, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce has not yet sent anyone.

"Have you contacted Saitos, did he give any reason?" Xia Duo asked.

"Contacted, and Saitos said he only received orders for the promotion of new coins, not for new purchase agreements, but—"

Speaking of this, Cecily hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice, and said in a low voice: "Saitos contacted me a few days ago and said something about how unhappy I was at the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. It seems that he intends to join Sato Wilton."

"Then how did you answer him?"

"How can I make decisions about this kind of thing? I reported it to Niya, and Niya pretended not to hear it. I guess something happened at Severton that affected Saitos."

Accidents, accidents again, Xia Duo is most troubled by accidents, what kind of accidents can happen in Severton?President Jenna is obviously a great arcanist. Unless she has an accident, she can easily suppress no matter how big the turmoil in the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce arises.

But what accident could a Grand Arcanist do?

Xia Duo immediately thought of what she "overheard" about the appearance of the new god from the communication between her and Seid when she saw Jenna for the last time in Severton.

Is it related to the new god?
Could it be that he went to the outer plane like Master Byron, was delayed by something, and never came back?
That would be so much fun!

Could it be that Jenna gathered a group of people to slaughter the gods and failed?
The chances of this happening are extremely low, not to say that the chance of killing the gods is extremely low, but that the matter of killing the gods itself is unlikely to happen.

After getting the Ascension Ritual Book, Xia Duo understood that gods—at least the gods achieved through the Ascension Ritual—had no such thing as a godhead to plunder, and killing him might not even get a single hair.

Of course, if the power of order that the god-slayer relies on to ascend to the gods conflicts with a certain god, then even if there is nothing to loot, the demise of the target god itself can be regarded as a big gain.

Could it be that Jenna has something to do with the new gods and currencies Seid summoned?Or something to do with commerce, trade, or even areas of interest to Jenna's other Ascension allies?
Reminiscing again, after Nya met the princess in Severton not long ago, she said that the princess's incarnation would leave soon. Could it be that the princess was also involved in this?
If the princess participates, there is a high probability that Byron will participate. If Byron participates, then Iolum may also participate, and even Conjenio.

But when I met those two people at the beginning of the month, I didn't find any abnormal signs!

Or were those two people able to regard Slaughter God as normal, and didn't show it at all?
This is obviously unlikely.

For a while, Xia Duo thought of many, many things. The last thing he wanted to see was that when a new god appeared, a large group of god-slayers rushed up, especially if the first-achieved god was involved.

This means that the chances of latecomers succeeding in ascending to the gods will become smaller and smaller until they disappear.

Sure enough, becoming a god is not the most ideal upgrade route for an arcanist. The pits are limited. Even if one succeeds in ascending to a god, he will face the unfavorable situation of infinite involution and suppression of backwardness in the future.

……

"My lord, my lord?"

Cecily's voice interrupted Xia Duo's thinking. Fortunately, from the moment Xia Duo got the Ascension Ritual Book and knew the inside story of Ascension to God, Ascension to God was no longer his first choice in the future.

The gods of order are facing the eternal competition of the power of order, and there will never be a shortage of challengers in the endless years. Although the gods of chaos have no worries in this regard, their existence itself means big trouble. People who believe in order like Xia Duo, The country and the god of the country must be encircled and suppressed.

Once you become a God of Chaos, you will live in the shadows for the rest of your life, with killing and betrayal, it is simply not a human life.

"I see. You don't have to deliberately reply to Saitos. Just pretend that this has never happened. I will contact the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce again, and you will complete the new purchase agreement and negotiation plan. Perhaps in a few days, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will send someone over."

"Yes."

"Then keep busy, I won't bother you."

After leaving the material department, Xia Duo turned around and turned into the audit office next door. This newly established department was nominally affiliated to the material department and was managed by Cecily.

But in fact, the Audit Office has always been independently in charge of the stewards sent by the four chambers of commerce, Savile Lord Hans, Slavin, Liaton, and Flash Gold.

The stewards of these chambers of commerce are very good at digital work, and it is like a fish in water to be in charge of special audit work in the Tower of Time.

Of course, since these managers are ordinary people and do not know magic, it is easy to be fooled when it comes to magic.

And this is also the main reason why Xia Duo came here this time.

……

"My lord, these are all the material subsidy application records of the private research laboratories of the Tower of Time in the past six months."

"Yeah." Xia Duo nodded, and then began to flip through them one by one.

The main job of the auditing office is to review various documents and records related to numbers. In other aspects, Xia Duo is not too worried.

Although it is in the mage's tower, most of the documents and records with numbers are not much different from those on the outside.

However, there are more tricks in the application for material subsidies of various private research laboratories. These ordinary people in the audit office may be good at mathematics and can find inconsistencies in numbers.

But if you don't have enough knowledge of magic, you can easily be fooled by those private research laboratories, and get subsidies under various incomprehensible names.

Although the Tower of Time has a monthly subsidy limit for each private laboratory, you can't let people fill up the limit every time!

Isn't this the long-term loss of Tower of Time resources!
