Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1338 "Delayed Kingship" Arrived at Severton

After contemplating for a long time, the night was getting deeper and deeper.

Considering that he will go to Sevington the next day, Xia Duo briefly dealt with the traces left by the upgrade, and then he was ready to go back to the bedroom to rest.

But when he opened the door of the laboratory, what he saw was not a calm and empty reception room, but Niya who was quietly reading a book in a chair with a midnight snack.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo's heart suddenly became hot. At the same time, Niya also noticed Xia Duo's appearance. When she was about to slap the book in her hand on the small table, she got up and came to Xia Duo, asking nervously. :

"How's it going? Did it work?"

"Don't worry, how could I fail!"

Xia Dora gently comforted Niya's hand, and said jokingly: "Now you are the woman of the Grand Arcanist! When will you make me the man of the Grand Arcanist?"

"Success?!"

Niya exclaimed excitedly, and her eyes were full of excitement. She even seemed to have forgotten the joke Xia Duo made later, and asked questions one by one:

"What is the experience of becoming a Grand Arcanist? How is it different from before? Will you announce or hold a celebration? Will you go to Severton tomorrow?"

"Take your time, don't worry, I'm right here."

Xia Duo helped Niya to sit beside her, and then began to answer the questions she just asked one by one:

"Becoming a Grand Arcanist has always been one of my goals, and it's also one of the goals I'm sure I can achieve. Now that I've reached my goal, I'm not only happy, but also stressed.

"Compared to the previous ones, the Great Arcanist, apart from the fact that Arcane Fire has become more mature, and the highest level of spellcasting has risen from level 9 to level 10, there is nothing else. There is no need to deify this stage, I believe you can also reach it.

"As for whether to announce to the public—"

Having said that, Xia Duo paused.

In fact, he had thought of this question when he was in the magic laboratory just now, and now he was asked by Niya again, he was not surprised, but his answer might surprise Niya——

"For the time being, don't announce it to the outside world. There is a famous proverb in my hometown, which is called 'Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly'."

Xia Duo simply translated this proverb and explained: "Whether it is the Tower of Time or our territory, it takes time to develop, and stability is more important than anything else at this stage.

"If I announce the fact that I have become a Grand Arcanist, it may attract unnecessary attention, especially from the elves.

"I feel that if the disadvantages of announcing to the outside world outweigh the benefits, then there is no need to announce it to the outside world. The status of a senior arcanist is enough for me to gain the respect of everyone in Netheril, including those great arcanists."

Niya was silent for a while, then nodded, "If you think it's better not to announce it to the public, then don't announce it to the public."

Even if he was not as excited and excited as before, Xia Duo couldn't fail to notice such an obvious depression.

He knew that Niya was not a vain person. The reason why she said that was probably more because she hoped that she could obtain the status and glory that was in line with the status of a grand arcanist.

But Xia Duo is not a person who values ​​false fame, he pays more attention to real benefits, if false fame can bring more real benefits, then he will naturally not give up, just like when he became a senior arcanist and registered with the Arcane Union .

But if a false name can't bring more benefits, like this time, then there's no need to be burdened by the false name.

For Niya's concern, Xia Duo felt very heartwarming, and after comforting her for a while, the relaxed and cheerful voices of the two reappeared in the reception room.

……

After supper, the two went back to Niya's bedroom to rest.

At noon the next day, Niya sent Xia Duo to the teleportation room, and she reluctantly held Xia Duo's arm when she parted. At this moment, Xia Duo's heart was also shrouded in a faint sense of parting.

On the edge of the teleportation circle, Xia Duo hugged Niya quietly, carefully experiencing the incomparably real emotional divergence at this moment. For a moment, he wanted to stay and stay for another day.

But after all, feelings are not staying together day and night, and there is a price to be paid to protect the stability of this bond. It is true that being single is free, but at this moment, Xia Duo would rather have fetters in his heart.

After some tenderness, Niya finally pushed Xia Duo away, sent him to the teleportation circle, and said, "Be careful, I'll wait for you at the Tower of Time."

"Ah."

Xia Duo nodded, and then the teleportation circle was activated, and the magic net oscillated sharply, leaving only an afterimage of Xia Duo waving goodbye at the end.

……

Severnton, Offal Federation.

Xia Duo, who had just walked out of the teleportation circle, was still reminiscing about Niya's tenderness in the last second, but in the next moment, he had to face the relatively indifferent real world alone.

This kind of contrast made it difficult for him to adapt for a while, and he stood in the teleportation room for a few seconds before recovering, and put on a delicate "personal mask" for himself.

Walking through the teleportation room, Xia Duo refused the enthusiastic reception service from the general affairs deacon, and walked straight through the teleportation area and trade area to the library.

After hesitating for a moment, he still walked towards the library and walked through the library, which was the office area of ​​the main administrative staff of the Austrian Law Federation.

Xia Duo recognized the location of Iolum's office, and he also had the authority to pass here, so he drove all the way without stopping.

It wasn't until he saw the door of the office that a young deacon ran towards him from another passage.

The man walked up to Xia Duo and bowed, then said quickly:
"Lord Xia Duo, sorry for being late, please follow me!"

While talking, he quickly turned back to lead the way, Xia Duo didn't stop in his footsteps all the way, until he reached the door of Iolum's office, he stopped for a while.

When the door opened from the inside, Xia Duo was about to enter, but he seemed to have thought of something, he turned his head and nodded to the young deacon who looked about his age, said "go to work", and then walked in .

Behind him, Xia Duo seemed to hear a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh, followed by the dull sound of the door being closed again.

"I thought you'd be here in the morning!"

Before Xia Duo approached, Iolum said this sentence. From this sentence, Xia Duo seemed to feel Iolum's anxiety.

This made him more sure about his plan, and he walked unhurriedly to the place near Iolum's desk, bowed slightly, and said, "Good afternoon, Teacher Iolum!"

"You don't need to be too polite, just take a look at the information on the table."

"material?"

Xia Duo looked in the direction that Iolum pointed, and sure enough, he looked at a thick book placed on the edge of the desk. He thought it was a certain private collection or spell notes of Iolum, but he didn't expect it to be for he prepared.

Immediately afterwards, the book flew to Xia Duo.

"Could it be the information related to Miser's nuclear energy?" Xia Duo's heart moved, he quickly grabbed the book, and couldn't wait to read it.
