Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2436
In this way, Xia Duo temporarily settled down in Severton, but he did not live in the headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, but lived in his own Azure Manor.

If he had no real estate, he would definitely be more willing to live with the Austrian Federation, but now that he has a house, it is definitely more convenient to live in his own home.

It's a pity that with the spread of Mythra and the example of Chang'an City, Netheril is bound to become a floating city in the future, and the Azure Manor on Sevington's side may not be able to wait for the day when the price will increase.

During this period, Xia Duo also went to New Severton, which stayed above Severton, which was simply the perfect embodiment of the will of the Seven Towers——

In the middle is a square, surrounded by seven tall mage towers that have not yet been fully completed, and after that is the new urban area that continues to spread outward.

Of course, it is still just an appearance piled up with shaping spells. Only the large arena in the south has undergone magical transformation, which can be called a magical building.

It is also the only completed magical building in New Severton.

After only looking at the urban design of New Severton, Xia Duo discovered the disadvantage of intercepting the mountain peak as the base of the floating city, that is, if the city wants to expand in the future, it basically has to replace it with a bigger mountain peak.

It's really better to use all artificially synthesized or transformed materials, so that later expansion will not be a problem, even if it is a sphere that seems to have a limited volume like Chang'an City, there is still room for future physical expansion.

The easiest way to do this is to add a new spherical shell outside the sphere.

And because everything is designed from scratch, all entities are integrated into the same system for unified management, and the subsequent expansion can also be perfectly integrated.

There are many disadvantages in intercepting mountain peaks, except for the superficial magnificence that can be understood by ordinary people, there is no other meaning.

Xia Duo had been to New Severton once and never went there again, and it would take time for both the internal negotiations of the Seven Towers and Jenna's raising of the crystallization of the plane, so he completely stayed in Azure Manor.

Because he was here, Niya would occasionally come and go, but soon returned to the southern border.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

On this day, Xia Duo received a message from Niya that Ebok had returned and brought back twelve high-ranking mages and their families.

In addition, although there are many high-level mages who have not yet agreed to officially join the Tower of Time, they also went to the southern border together, planning to conduct a field inspection before deciding whether to join.

It can be said that Eberke's trip almost wiped out all the "free" high-level mages in the territory of Iolum and the surrounding areas.

And not long after Xia Duo received Niya's message, Iolum also sent him a message, not about the latest news about the Seven Towers, but about Eberke:
"Good guy, that kid took so many people away from me without making a sound, and if he comes a few more times, he will wipe out all my family fortune."

Although Iolum made complaints, he was not angry. After all, without his approval, Eberke would not be able to take away so many people. According to Niya's description, some of the high-level mages who officially joined the Tower of Time are still There is a contract with Iolum's mage tower, but Iolum let it go.

The others are probably not much different. No matter how nice Eboke said, and no matter how attractive the Great Xia Order is, it still can't change the fact that those high-level mages eat Iolum's rice.

It's not that easy to change jobs.

It is said to go to the territory of Iolum to recruit, but in fact it is to go to the tower of other mages to recruit, not to mention others, but Xia Duo himself. He will not let people go easily.

As for after the restructuring, it will not be possible anymore. After paying so much for training, is it for training for other mage tower organizations?

In fact, this can also be compared to modern enterprises on the earth. Occasional talent exchanges are possible, but it is almost impossible for one party to recruit internally from the other.

It can also be seen from this that Iolum tolerates and values ​​Xia Duo.

After expressing his gratitude to Iolum many times, Xia Duo interrupted the communication. He was going to go back to the southern border to see those people brought back by Eberke. It was not an investigation, but just to understand the situation.

But before he walked out of the study, an unexpected person suddenly sent a message requesting to meet him, and that person had already arrived in the grove outside the manor.

Xia Duo had a lot of associations with the identity of the other party. For a while, he was not sure whether he should meet the other party. If he did not see him, he might miss the truth.

But soon, he made a decision, because the existence of magic may change the future from the moment the other party decides to come to him.

Having personally experienced the complex future scene in the prophecy ceremony, Xia Duo always thinks more about the various decisions at the moment, so he seems a little restrained.

But he is very clear in his heart that the prophecy is only a possibility, what will happen in the future depends to a large extent on the current decision, if he is troubled by a certain possibility in the future, the meaning of the prophecy itself will actually be lost .

So Xia Duo decided to follow the decision of his heart-it's me whether I see or not, and I decided to meet at this moment.

……

After making the decision, Xia Duo immediately let go of the protection system restrictions in the manor, allowing the other party to really enter the manor, and he himself walked out of the villa in the middle of the manor.

After a while, a bare-chested salesman pushing a trolley with goods appeared in front of Xia Duo, which surprised him a bit, "Are you—Puman?"

Xia Duo and Puman once raided the demon base together, which can be regarded as a kind of friendship, but in his impression Puman is a taciturn, rigid middle-aged man, anyway, he will definitely not look like the careless shopkeeper in front of him .

This made him realize that the previous prophecy might have some realistic basis!

"It's me, I'm sorry to appear in such an image, but now the seven towers defend me more than the demons, I have to make this disguise."

Pullman smiled wryly and said a fact that was unimaginable to him in the past. Now his expression is much richer, and Xia Duo also noticed the strangeness. He noticed Pullman's mention of guarding against demons.

Because of the demon-born terrorist attack at Master Yerevan's Ascension Ceremony, the Seven Towers' defense against the demon-born can be said to be the ultimate in all aspects, and Xia Duo understands this.

To describe Qita's attitude towards him more than guarding against demons, Pullman definitely had an experience that outsiders could hardly imagine.

Considering Pullman's identity, it is self-explanatory what kind of experience it is. If there is no accident, signs of infighting and even fire in the Seven Towers have already appeared!
However, whether the other party is really Pullman is another matter. Xia Duo invited the other party to the study of the villa, which is the strongest place in the entire manor to avoid detection.

"There is no need to worry about the search and prying of the Seven Towers here, you can rest assured to restore your original appearance."
