Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1771

The fact was exactly as Xia Duo expected, the day after he came back from Severton, Blunders came to the door with the sincerity of Seven Towers.

In the reception room, looking at the 10 psychic cores in the small box on the table at hand, Xia Duo might still be moved if he had obtained the [Blade of Spiritual Closure], but now——

There was no turmoil in his heart at all, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

Even if I showed a need for ectoplasmic cores before, can I still use these to pass me off now?Even if it could, could a great arcanist be willing to take such a risk with just ten psychic cores?

Xia Duo shook his head repeatedly in his heart, "Director Blunders, I told the teacher about this matter two days ago in Sevington, and I don't want to get involved. Now I also ask you to pass this sentence on to Seventh. Everyone in the tower, come here today, I still have something to do, so I won’t entertain you.”

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo got up and was about to leave. At this time, Brendes was a little anxious, and a thin layer of sweat was faintly seeping from his forehead. He got up and wanted to stop Xia Duo, but he stretched his hand halfway, but he didn't Dare to continue to stretch, can only say embarrassingly:

"Lord Xiaduo, it is really inappropriate to bother you with this matter, but please understand the difficulty of the Seven Towers again. The theft of the Nether Scroll is not just as simple as losing a treasure, it is more likely to be harmful to Nether magic. The system poses a threat, which is closely related to every arcanist, and now that there are clues, it is impossible for the Seven Towers to give up."

"Horn taught you to say that?" Xia Duo asked back.

Blunders choked for a moment, and couldn't help feeling resentful towards the people above him, but whoever made the choice among the Seven Towers as an envoy was only him who had the closest relationship with Lord Xiaduo!

Although he was very reluctant, Blunders still choked out, "This is the attitude of the Seven Towers."

Hearing this, Xia Duo was immediately unhappy. Although he was very considerate of the overall situation, everyone has a different opinion on what the overall situation is. At least in his opinion, it is irrelevant to find the Nether Scroll at this stage. .

On the contrary, letting him be involved in unknown risks is really against the overall situation.

However, Xia Duo also knew that Brundes, as the envoy of the Seven Towers, might not have intended to say these words, but he still showed displeasure on his face:

"If the Seven Towers have this attitude, then you can leave."

As far as the words are concerned, Brundes has already fully understood the determination of Xia Duo's attitude. Thinking of Horn and Badigal's orders when he came, he felt even more grumbling in his heart. Hole cards:

"Lord Xiaduo, if you agree to participate in this matter and retrieve the Nether Scroll, that set will be stored in the Tower of Time for as long as you are alive."

"It's just unconfirmed news about the set of Nether scrolls, and you've already thought so far?"

Xia Duo shook his head, "This is nothing but an empty-handed wolf. If you don't get the relevant information this time, and you don't even get back a single golden page, what should you do?"

Seeing that Xia Duo's tone was loose, Brundes felt a little more relaxed, so he asked, "What does Lord Xia Duo want? As long as there is something in the Seven Towers, I will be able to satisfy it!"

"You're talking empty talk again, the Seven Pagodas may not be able to satisfy what I want!"

Xia Duo wants everyone in the Seven Towers to listen to him, can the Seven Towers agree?Obviously not.Taking a step back, even if he only needs one gold coin as a condition, Qita may not feel that it is too much.

Just listen to this kind of condition that looks like a boast. If you really take it seriously, you'd be too stupid.

Of course, Xia Duo didn't want to quarrel too much with the Seven Towers. Before Brundes arrived today, he had already realized the compromise, and the difference was only the price.

"I want the Seven Towers to cooperate with me in recruiting new citizens in the interior. In addition, I need some records and research materials from Gilles High Tower on the background fluctuations of the magic net."

Of course, Xia Duo also wanted the large amount of data and experience accumulated by the Seven Towers in plane exploration, but he felt that this was too much.

The main point is that the new citizens are not so difficult to accept for the Seven Towers, but for Xia Duo, the population size is directly related to the development potential of the future magic civilization.

Now that Netheril wants to open up the Kangqi Plain, Abby Hills, and Cologne Plain at the same time, the new landmen available for recruitment in the interior are already close to the valley.

This can be seen from the recent teleportation gate, the number of people sent by Brod is decreasing, and even showing a single-digit growth trend.

However, such new residents are mostly landless peasants, or free citizens who expect to change their original lives, and it does not involve the number of people who maintain normal operations in various inland territories.

If it is really crowded, more people will definitely be squeezed out, which is the main reason why Xia Duo asked for population without any burden.

In addition, many lords have begun to implement the "Agricultural Book" that was released before, and even led a large-scale land merger by themselves, which made more landless farmers.

It's just that those lords also need to employ people, such as opening up new lands, upgrading industries, and so on.

But if the Seven Towers came forward to recruit people, even if they couldn't recruit people outside the Seven Towers' camp, they could fully meet Xia Duo's conditions if they gathered within the Seven Towers.

As Brundes said, as long as the Seven Towers are willing to cooperate, then Xia Duo's request will definitely be met.

……

As for the records and research materials of the background fluctuations of the magic net, they were all what Xia Duo wanted for Niya, and they were just some extras.

After the Floating City mythos are completed, Niya will continue her research on communication mythos. With these materials, it is very useful whether it is researching communication mythos or further studying the nature of the magic net.

Before, when the princess was still there, Niya came back from the Giles Tower and brought back some materials, but obviously Gilles Tower kept more.

After all, at that time, no one would have thought that the heir designated by the princess would crowd out the princess' former staff and students.

……

Blunders was very surprised by Xiaduo's request. Although he knew that Xiaduo was recruiting new subjects through Brod before, he still didn't think about the population as a condition.

In his opinion, Xia Duo may ask for knowledge or treasures, after all, for Arcanists, these two are the most important.

The records and research materials related to the background fluctuations of the magic net can be considered as knowledge, but compared with the knowledge that can be directly put into use, it is still too rough.

Blunders had also heard that Xia Duo's wife, the princess's student Niya, had chosen the background fluctuation of the magic net as a research direction after advancing to the level of an arcanist. Now it seems that the two are really in love!
