Lord of Arcane

Chapter 292 Holy Tide Marriage
Although Epps had clearly handed over the position of lord to Niya, Ambrill still called him the lord, "Lord, I don't know if you want to keep me, what else do you need to explain?"

"Bishop Ambrill, can we move the holy water distribution at night to the daytime?" Epps asked.

He was very worried that he would die from the curse before the night. In other words, every minute and every second he was outside now was at the risk of the curse attacking at any time.

But in order for Niya to go on more easily, he is willing to do so.

The distributing of the holy water was actually done by the lord and the bishop of the temple together. He wanted to see Nya distribute the holy water to the citizens instead of him.

This is actually Niya's first official activity after she became the lord. Although Nya represented the lord to a large extent before, she was only the heir, not the real lord.

Epps' request made Bishop Ambrill hesitate for a while. He wanted to agree, but slipped away when the words came to his lips. He closed his eyes and prayed for a moment before saying:
"My lord, if Lord Niya asks, I can!"

This kind of behavior that violates the tradition, if there is no official order from the official lord, it is already a violation of the doctrine. Although Ambrill wanted to agree due to the inertia of the past, in the end, faith prevailed.

"Okay! You go and arrange it!"

"My lord, there is another problem. The celebration is only halfway through now, and the holy tide is not enough. The holy water may be much less than in previous years."

The "Holy Tide" that Bishop Ambrill said was actually the Holy Power bestowed by the Lord of Radiance. The Midsummer Festival gives the most Holy Power every year, just like a tide.

Holy power + positive energy + pure water is equal to holy water.

If the holy tide is not enough, it can also be replaced by the priest's own holy power, but the holy power that the priest can obtain every day is also extremely limited, which cannot make up for the lack of holy tide.

Furthermore, priests always have to reserve a certain amount of holy power for other things, and it is impossible to use all of it to make holy water.

"Come on according to the actual situation, as much as you have!"

It was impossible for everyone to distribute the holy water. Even the lord and the bishop distributed only a few representatives, and the others were distributed by the temple personnel.

Otherwise, the lords and bishops would have nothing to do, and would spend the whole night distributing holy water.

Soon, the three of Epps finalized all the details, and finally Ambrill asked Niya for an official order before leaving to prepare.

In the meeting room of the town hall, only Epps and Niya father and daughter were left.

"Father, you don't need this!"

"That's all I can do for you. Taking advantage of Bishop Ambrill's preparation time, I still have some things to explain."

"Father, tell me." Niya's tears fell again.

"After the celebration is over, go to Severton to meet Archmage Greta and Archmage Auron. You don't need to say anything, just a meeting is enough. In case of any major crisis in the future, take Find them with the crystallization of the plane, and ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for help."

At this moment, Epps' worries about his daughter finally overwhelmed his expectations for the Grand Arcanist's grandfather, and Niya could also hear his father's love from these words.

"Father, I have written it all down."

"And Xia Duo, you don't need to anger him. The decision to explore Mysuo was made by myself. In addition, the matter involved in the title of pioneer is very complicated. Don't be used by others. There may be news from Her Royal Highness later. , no matter what it is, respond immediately."

Epps sees clearly that the biggest backer of Savile Leader now is not his grandfather, who is still alive or dead, nor his grandfather's classmates and teachers, but Her Royal Highness, who had nothing to do with him at first.

He knew that Her Majesty the Princess must have a very complicated and extensive plan, and the pioneer was only one of them, and the Savile collar would be needed in the future, but because of this, it was more reliable to rely on Her Majesty the Princess.

One is that the princess has a good reputation, and the other is that she will not be easily given up if she is needed. In other words, she is guaranteed!

Therefore, Xia Duo, the pioneer, cannot move, not only cannot move, but must also establish a good relationship.

The current Tower of Time is in Xia Duo's territory, and it cannot be moved for a short period of time, but if it is not guaranteed, there are outsiders who want to move it.

Before, Archmage Auron had reminded Epps that someone was plotting the Savile Territory, and wanted to occupy this place that must pass through the trade from the core area of ​​the empire to the border city of Conifera.

The Tower of Time, which is currently located in the Great Xia Territory, may be a breakthrough.

There is another possible breakthrough. Thinking of this, Epps looked at Niya. Female lords are not uncommon in Netheril.

But an unmarried female lord without great power has never had one. If he can live for a few more years, then he can easily arrange Niya's marriage.

And now-

"Niya, do you have someone you like?" Epps didn't shy away from his intentions. If he couldn't arrange Nya's marriage before he died, he couldn't die with peace of mind.

Entering the stasis room may not necessarily lead to death, but Epps has completely regarded it as a situation where he cannot survive, and arranged for his funeral.

When asked such a question suddenly, Niya was stunned. Although she knew a long time ago that she would find someone to continue the family inheritance in the future, she is not ready yet.

"Father, why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

"Ugh--"

Epps sighed. In fact, he had already started preparations when Niya was very young, but some candidates failed to stay in Savile, and now there is only one that he is more satisfied with.

"Niya, what do you think of Leonard?"

Leonard is his apprentice, a level 8 mage, who is only a few years older than Niya. He joined the Tower of Time very early, and his family relationship is very simple. His parents are ordinary farmers in the territory.

Epps didn't mind his background, but deliberately chose people with simple backgrounds to be included in the investigation list. Niya's mother was just an ordinary peasant girl.

Compared with background, Epps pays more attention to personal ability and personality. In this regard, Leonard is relatively outstanding.

In addition, there is another candidate, but the investigation time is still short, plus some reasons, Epps thinks that Niya should be difficult to accept, so he doesn't say anything.

"Leonard?"

"Yes! My apprentice Leonard, what do you think of him?"

"Leonard is an upright person, but sometimes he is indifferent. Does the father want him to be his daughter's husband?" Niya asked back.

"No, Niya, I won't make decisions for you, but if you remain unmarried, then the territory will be unstable; if the territory is unstable, the Tower of Time will also be unstable, and the Savile family will perish."

Although it is a bit exaggerated to involve the survival of the family with the marriage of the daughter, the truth is not too far behind.

Niya's marriage is no longer her personal matter. Rather than being swallowed up by outsiders through marriages and mage towers, it is better to choose an ordinary person in the territory.

Epps did the same back then. Because of the scarcity of female spellcasters, the candidates his father gave him didn't even have spellcasters, just ordinary people.

What the Savile family inherits is knowledge and the Tower of Time, so what they need most is stability, not some powerful marriage partner.

　This volume is speeding up to the end, and there are still two or three chapters left. Before, some people always said that the protagonist didn't get anything, but in fact the protagonist wanted everything. . .
