Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1772
"Lord Xiaduo, you want to recruit new citizens, I can agree to you now on behalf of the Seven Towers, and the number is not less than [-]. As for the records and research materials related to the background fluctuation of the magic net—"

Speaking of this, Brundes paused subconsciously, and his eyebrows were also tangled together, as if feeling very embarrassed, "In this regard, I can only say try to coordinate, but I think as long as the other adults agree , Lord Schombe won't be too hard to convince."

"can."

Xia Duo nodded. He knew that Schom was hostile to Niya. In this situation, his conditions had already been raised, and it was not difficult to achieve, especially for the other towers.

Now Schom was asked to make sacrifices for what he himself insisted on.

"By the way, don't forget that after the Nether Scrolls are retrieved, they need to be stored in the Tower of Time for at least 100 years."

"This--"

"What is this, isn't this what you just agreed to? The background fluctuation information of the new people and the magic net are just my additional conditions."

In fact, Xia Duo didn't necessarily need the Nai color scroll, but he had already decided to restart the exploration of the plane after the floating city project was on the right track.

The main focus is on the projection plane, and he wants to find all the [Dragon Madness Secret Volume], so as not to be directly wiped out by the frenzied elves one day in the future without knowing it.

As for the [Naise Scroll], it is a by-product of the exploration process, but as long as it manifests to the main plane, he can't just use it by himself, and it must be read by others.

Then, if he has some golden pages of the Nether scroll in his hand, no matter how many golden pages he takes out, it will not be so conspicuous.

In other words, he needs a reason to be able to openly hold the Nether Scroll.

In this regard, Brundes naturally had no second choice. After all, this was the condition that the Seven Towers had prepared, and it didn't matter if he agreed.

Facing Xia Duo, he didn't have much room for bargaining, not to mention the current conditions were far lower than expected. Even if he agreed to a few more things, he would only get rewards when he went back, but he would not sell the interests of the Seven Towers.

The only thing that is a bit difficult to deal with is the records and materials of Gilles Tower. Even if they are not rare, as long as Schom is determined to stop them, they will be a troublesome matter.

When Brunders thought of Horn's frowning and embarrassment about this matter, he felt a burst of relief. It was not malicious, but just out of friendly teasing of his old boss and old friends.

"Lord Xia Duo, if there is no other order, then I will go back and report to you. I will contact you when the Seven Towers are ready. I think that within a day or two, I would like to ask Lord Xia Duo to reserve some free time. "

"Well, I see. Say hello to Horn for me."

"I will."

……

Not long after Brunders left, Iolum's summons came, which was somewhat different from Xia Duo's expectations——

"I can't change the decision of the Seven Towers, but if you feel embarrassed, you can refuse even if you have promised something. Brod and I will stand by your side."

Iolum's voice was full of sincerity, so much so that Xia Duo felt a little bit of regret, but he quickly dismissed this idea. Since he had already agreed, there was no reason to regret it.

Right now, for him, the Seven Towers may not be able to accomplish anything, but it will certainly be bad. Now he does not have the capital to challenge the Seven Towers.

Maintaining a relatively good relationship can also be regarded as laying a good foundation for the future.

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo replied: "I have also seriously thought about it in the past two days. The significance of the scroll of color is really extraordinary. If I were the Seven Towers, I would not let go of any clues.

"In addition, I also re-examined the process of talking with Hilda Lanna, I think the possibility of conspiracy is very small, and the Seven Towers will not make any preparations.

"The only thing to worry about is that there is a bad relationship with the mysterious organization. I'm afraid there will be hidden dangers in the future."

There is a saying in Xia Duo's hometown that "a sage is not stuck in things, but can move with the world." Although Xia Duo has not yet reached the realm of a saint, he is aware of the current situation and knows how to make choices.

Since Seven Towers needs to use him to get the upper hand against Hilda Lanna, he can naturally strengthen himself as much as possible in the process.

The only thing that makes Xia Duo feel a little unhappy is Iolum. Although the "letter of support" has been sent now, and Xia Duo also believes that the other party will really bring Brod to support him, you must know that it was also the same at the beginning. Iolum broke the news to those of the Seven Towers.

However, Xia Duo also knows that everyone has their own position. Before he has shown the potential and strength enough to dominate the future, it is not difficult to understand that from the position of Iolum, he will be more inclined to maintain the existing order.

The specific manifestation is that in this matter, new clues about the stolen set of Nether scrolls were revealed to the Seven Towers.

Xia Duo didn't blame Iolum, because he also had a position that might not be consistent with Iolum, and he couldn't think of others wholeheartedly, so why should others think of himself wholeheartedly!

What's more, didn't Iolum also send a "letter of support" now!
It is not difficult for Xia Duo, who has long been aware of his mind, to understand these things.

……

Maybe Seven Towers was really anxious about the whereabouts of the stolen Nether Scroll, or maybe Hilda Lanna's attitude was too firm.

In short, on the second day after Brundes came, there was a message from the Seven Towers, inviting Xia Duo to go to Askor for a detailed discussion.

"Asker?"

Xia Duo was unfamiliar with this name, but he was also somewhat familiar with it. He was familiar with it as early as his apprenticeship, and he had thought many times that he must visit Asker one day in the future.

Unfamiliarity is naturally because this city to him only has some impressions from books and some legends passed down by ordinary people.

The dwarven port city of Askor is located on the westernmost side of the West Narrow Sea. In addition to being connected to various parts of Netheril by sea, there is also an underground passage leading directly to Zenith.

Now that the Seven Towers invited Xia Duo to Asker, Xia Duo was really surprised, but he could probably guess that it should be Hilda Lanna's request.

Perhaps when Qita contacted her, she acted too urgently, which made her feel uneasy about Severton. As for why the negotiation venue was not placed in the more suitable Evereska, it is the fault of that Ann. Great Elder Kalita.

Well, I couldn't stay in my own territory, so I insisted on running out. Now it's all right, I died, and it also caused Evereska's heart turmoil, and various forces appeared on the stage.

At this point in time, it is somewhat sensitive to place the negotiation venue on Evereska.

On the other hand, Danzo has a similar relationship with Ye'erlan and Netheril, maybe even closer to Ye'erlan, but he is not bad with Netheril.

As a result, Asker became a negotiating venue acceptable to both parties.

For Xia Duo, there is another layer of meaning there. Although it is not a trip, it can be regarded as fulfilling a dream of his apprenticeship.
