Lord of Arcane

Chapter 296 Welfare is here
Tower of Time.

Looking at the 10 study scrolls lined up on the desk in front of him and the pile of books next to him, Xia Duo fell into deep thought.

After the wedding, the Midsummer Festival celebrations continued, but Xia Duo, Niya, and Lord Epps returned to the Mage Tower. After returning, Niya threw these things at him, telling him not to leave the Mage Tower in the near future, and they disappeared trace.

Although I know that this marriage may be just a formality, but——

"It's so fragrant!"

He studied the scrolls very much, most of them were 2nd-level spells, but there were also two 3rd-level spells, one was 3rd-level [Dispel Magic], and the other was the 3rd-level transformation system [Flying] that Xia Duo had been thinking about.

This shows that Niya knows that he has become an intermediate mage, so when did he expose it?
Xia Duo thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, maybe it was just judging from his research progress, or maybe it was just giving him benefits.

In addition to learning the scrolls, those books are what Xia Duo values ​​most, "Advanced Arcane Geometry" is a set of four, "Arcane Principles", "Psychology", "Deep Magic Web" and other real theoretical books.

Xia Duo had never seen these books in the library before, combined with what Niya said before - proficient in intermediate arcane geometry before intermediate level, proficient in advanced arcane geometry before high level, almost becoming an arcanist the only way.

Xia Duo felt that Niya was preparing to train him in the direction of an arcanist, which was of course in line with his wishes, but after becoming an intermediate mage, he still wanted to study some other things.

Like making magic items.

The main reason why he wants to study magic items is to enhance his own ability and make money, and the latter reason is more.

"No, no, I don't seem to need to make money now!" Looking at these things on the desk, Xia Duo smiled happily.

Look at the [Crimson Robe of Protection] on her body. Although Niya didn't directly say that she gave it to him, but the husband and wife are one. Xia Duo has already regarded this aura of magic robe as his own.

Anyway, Niya didn't take it back!
Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo's desire to study magic items faded away, and what he needs to do most now should be to digest these things in front of him.

Let's talk about the next thing!
"[Flying]? That's it!"

With the previous research foundation, and this is the spell that Xia Duo has always wanted the most, he put away other things without hesitation, and rushed into the spell laboratory with the [Flight] scroll.

And on the other side.

Niya, who had just sent her father into the stasis room, suddenly became depressed, and her mind was only thinking about the last look her father gave her before he was put into stasis.

That is the father's infinite expectation for his daughter, which has been condensed in time since then until eternity.

I don't know how much time has passed, and Niya, who was sitting with her knees hugged at the door of the stasis room like a statue, suddenly shook a little, and her anger gradually returned to her body, and then Ta Ling's voice sounded:
"Master, Master Eberke has sent a message. There are important guests visiting, and the master needs to receive them!"

"Who is it?" Niya's voice was hoarse, completely lost the clarity and purity of the past, but this did not affect Ta Ling's understanding.

In an instant, Ta Ling gave a reply: "No further news."

"Where is he? Where is he?" Niya asked again.

"..."

Ta Ling was silent for a few seconds, then replied, "The guest is outside the Tower of Time!"

"Outside the Tower of Time?" Niya repeated several times, her senses gradually returned to her body, and she immediately realized, "Is it in the ruins of the Mystery?"

"Yes Master!"

"I probably guessed who it is!"

Niya stood up from the ground, took a last look at the stasis room, then sealed it off, and left without looking back.

"Taling, ask Xia Duo to come to the reception room!"

"Yes!"

……

Xia Duo's residence, magic laboratory.

Xia Duo, who had been fighting with [Flying] all night, did not notice the passage of time at all. At this moment, he was floating in the middle of the magic laboratory with a face full of excitement.

Following the command of his consciousness, the body sometimes goes up, sometimes down, sometimes left, sometimes right. There is not much space here, which is just suitable for the practice of "flickering and moving" in a small area.

"[Flight] is much better than [Levitation]!"

For this, Xia Duo deeply sighed, [Levitation Technique] could only move up and down slowly at first, although after his adjustment, he could fly slowly, but it was too slow.

Not even as fast as walking on the ground!

But [Flying] is different, whether it is speed or flexibility, it has been greatly improved.

Although the maximum flying height cannot be tested in this room, Xia Duo estimates that as long as the magic net environment does not change much during the duration of the spell, the caster can fly as high as he wants.

After testing, [Flying Technique] can last about 5 minutes, and Xia Duo needs to go outdoors to test how high he can fly.

"Master Xia Duo, the master invites you to the reception room!"

The sudden sound of the tower spirit caused Xia Duo to sway in mid-air, but he did not fall down after all. [Flying] does not require concentration to maintain, but if you want to fly out of a coquettish trajectory, concentration is essential.

To some extent, mages who have received professional and focused training should be better at flying than ordinary people.

"Taling, what does Nya want from me?"

Today's Xia Duo's authority in the Tower of Time has been raised to level 4, and he can directly talk to Tower Ling without going through various instructions, which is equivalent to a portable smart assistant.

"Master Xia Duo, the master invites you to the reception room!" Ta Ling repeated.

As soon as Xia Duo heard it, he knew that Niya must not have given the reason when she gave the order, otherwise, Xia Duo would have answered when she asked. .

And if Xia Duo's authority is higher, Taling will ask Nya directly and tell him later.

now--

Xia Duo also had no choice but to pack up and go to see Niya. He just got the favor from her, and now maybe it's his turn to contribute.

……

The reception room that Nya wants Xia Duo to go to is even connected to the lord's study. Xia Duo is no stranger to this, and has been here several times, whether it is to meet Lord Epps or Nya.

It's just that the previous meeting was in the study, not the reception room outside.

On the way to the top floor, Xia Duo walked slowly, thinking about what Nya might ask him to do, because it was not a personal matter, or something like attending a class.

Making an appointment in the reception room means that there is a guest, but he is not a guest. In a sense, Xia Duo is also the owner of half of the Tower of Time.

"It's an outsider!"

Xia Duo guessed that it was probably Niya who wanted him to be a background board, or a shield. Isn’t there a saying on the earth called “madam diplomacy”~
Perhaps he has now become a kind of mascot for external display, which also corresponds to what Lord Epps said to him before.

But no matter what it is, if you get something, you must give something. Xia Duo feels that this kind of relationship is not difficult to accept.
