Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1390 Small Welfare Isolation
It doesn't matter if there are seven towers or other organized mages. Anyway, the blueprint of the demon-slaying amulet is not a secret. Xia Duo just picked out the spells and made them into learning scrolls for the wild mages.

And for those wild mages, as long as they go to Azure Manor in person and chat with Aiwa a few times, they can get a study scroll, which is undoubtedly a pie in the sky.

But until the moment before Xia Duo returned to the southern border, Aiwa didn't contact him, which showed that the wild mages of Severton were either unwilling to join the Tower of Time, or they were all unqualified.

Either way, it's not good news for Xia Duo.

"Wild No Remaining Pearl!"

This was Xia Duo's last thought before teleportation.

……

Tower of Time.

As soon as Xia Duo came back, Niya received a reminder from the tower spirit. Without any hesitation, she immediately teleported to Xia Duo and said with resentment:

"You also know to come back! I thought you were going to settle in Severton in the future!"

"how come!"

Xia Duo took a step forward and held Niya, who was still a little angry, in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "It's really because Teacher Iolum's task is too important, why don't I rush back as soon as I finish part of the work?" gone."

Just about to continue to speak soft words, Niya suddenly summoned the tower spirit to prepare for the teleportation. Xia Duo froze for a moment, but did not resist, and followed the teleportation to the study on the top floor of the Tower of Time.

……

After the teleportation, Niya broke free from Xia Duo's arms, and there seemed to be no angry expression on her face. She pointed to the image in the projection window next to the two and said to Xia Duo:

"That Tove investigator was too restless. As soon as he arrived in Savile Territory, he had frequent contact with the members of the Tower of Time. It has been several days. She is still like this, and she doesn't know what she wants to do."

At this time, Xia Duo was not in the mood to flirt with Niya anymore. He had already noticed that the real-time images displayed by the projection window were not Daxia Ling, or any other beautiful scenery.

It was Savile Town, in an alley near the central square near the trade area, a female elf was walking with a human mage, talking and laughing.

Judging by the route they traveled, they should be going to the trade zone.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but frowned. In just a few days, they were talking and laughing. When could an elf be so friendly to humans?

Just when he was about to ask Niya for more information, Tove, the female elf in the projection, suddenly turned her head, stared straight at the void above, and smiled before continuing to move forward.

From Xia Duo's point of view, Tove's line of sight almost coincided with his line of sight just now. Although he knew that it was almost impossible for the opponent to detect the person behind the spell through the detection spell cast by the mage tower, but the meaningful eyes of the other side still Having that last smile still made him feel very uncomfortable.

It's like being in your own territory, being swaggered by an outsider, how can you feel calm!

"Didn't the Tower of Time members be recalled?"

As soon as Xia Duo asked this, he knew that he was not thinking carefully. Sure enough, Niya replied immediately:

"I thought about recalling the members of the Tower of Time, but as the Midsummer celebration approaches, there are many outsiders on the territory, including some important figures from the Great Chamber of Commerce. The sudden recall of the members of the Tower of Time may make them make decisions about the purpose of the Tower of Time. Misjudgment, and if the members of the Tower of Time outside are recalled, there is no guarantee that Tove will not use this as an excuse to enter the Tower of Time."

The Tower of Time can't reject an elf nobleman who is still an important partner at the moment. Regarding this, Niya has been quite a headache these days.

"How many members of the Tower of Time are there in Savile Town?" Xia Duo asked again.

"I didn't let them go back after I came back. In addition, I adjusted the permissions of the portal to prevent uninformed people from going there temporarily. There are still twelve people in the target Savile Town. Among them are two permanent personnel, Two of them took over the task of the military camp, and the remaining eight went back to visit their families, and they will come back after Midsummer Festival."

"Did any of the people who came back have contact with Tove?"

"Yes, I temporarily arranged a refresher class for them and isolated them from the others. I'm going to wait for you to come back and check."

"You did very well!"

Xia Duo couldn't help admiring, before knowing Tove's purpose, it is wise to temporarily isolate those who have been in contact with Tove.

As for whether the members of the Tower of Time who came into contact with Tove leaked the secrets, Xia Duo actually didn't care very much. The real secrets are safest only if they are kept in their own minds.

Strictly speaking, all secrets that can be known by a second person are not secrets.

This, of course, also includes the Miser energy core.

The big deal is to have a big fight with the elves. Peace, stability, and even respect can never be obtained by showing favor or unilateral protest or deterrence.

Xia Duo really hopes to avoid conflicts with the elves as much as possible when his side is weak, but if conflicts cannot be avoided, he will join the battle without hesitation, and put most of his cards and the bottom line.

……

Asked Niya for the locations of the members of the Tower of Time who had been in contact with Tove, and Xia Duo was going to learn from them the purpose of Tove's visit this time.

The cooperation on the smuggling of high-end spices has been steadily advancing. Tove should not have appeared here, but she still appeared, and she behaved abnormally. This all shows that the purpose of her trip is not simple.

Xia Duo even felt that it was possible that the other party had discovered the existence of a new concept of nature, but if that was the case, the one who came to Savile to receive it should not be Tove, but the main god of elves, or at least a high-level priest.

There is no trace of faith on Tove's body. Xia Duo is very clear about this. He confirmed this point in the last time he broke up with the other party, otherwise he really would not have dared to have any more in-depth cooperation with the other party.

If the concept of new nature is involved, it is not self-inflicted.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Xia Duo muttered in a low voice, and then asked Taling to teleport him outside Room 065 on the public floor.

Pushing open the door, the four people in the room looked over almost at the same time, and they all took the initiative to salute and say hello at the same time——

"Good afternoon, Xia Duo."

"Good afternoon, President."*3
It was Colin who directly called Xia Duo by name, and Xia Duo was an old acquaintance, and he was also the first batch of new mages after the transformation of the Tower of Time, only a little later than Gibson and others.

Those who call Xia Duo "President" are the three new mages among the new apprentices.

Although Colin is also a new mage, and is the first batch of new mages after the transformation of the Tower of Time, it is still too early for him to enter the Tower of Time, so he is naturally not a new apprentice.

His ranking in the Jin Academy, and even his affection for the Jin Academy, are not as good as those of the new apprentices, which can be seen from his address to Xia Duo.

It is true that Xia Duo asked the members of the Tower of Time to call him by his name directly, but the ones who really did this were Dean, Sami and other early members of the Advancement Society who were closer to him, and most of the rest of them still kindly called him the president, or Say respectfully sir.

However, Xia Duo didn't care too much about the title, as long as there was no exaggerated derogation or praise, it could be called anything.
