Lord of Arcane

Chapter 315 Urgent Conspiracy
Early the next morning, Xia Duo stood outside the pier at Savile Port, watching the "Lucky Owen" slowly sail away from the port, and behind it, two cargo ships of similar size were also untying their mooring ropes.

One of these two boats was equipped with the new leader assigned by Niya to Xia Duo, and the other was a river worker recruited by Niya to dig the river channel from Daxia leader to the Mysuo ruins.

This is what the arcanist from [The Hidden Hand] called the "element channel", which will greatly alleviate the magic net riots in the mythical area.

The Tower of Time is always in a state of confrontation with the riots of the outside magic net. Alleviating the riots means saving energy for the Tower of Time. Niya finally decided to dig this passage.

Watching the "Lucky Irwin" receding away, Xia Duo contacted Layton on the ship before it used the communication range, and gave a final warning:
"According to the plan!"

Seeing Layton waving at the bow, he turned around and left. Recalling Nya's explanation when she left yesterday, Xia Duo felt a faint sense of urgency in his heart.

Not only because the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has come, but more importantly, the Tower of Time is in a weak state, and the enemy will pounce on it at any time.

Niya left this time to go to Severton to inquire about news and seek possible foreign aid. She explained a lot when she left, from the territory to the Tower of Time, specific and detailed.

But it was precisely because of this that Xia Duo had a bad feeling.

……

Returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo first went around to check the working status of everyone including the apprentices, and he was a little relieved to make sure that all the repair work was going on normally.

But what surprised him was that the Arcane Garden had already been tidied up. According to his original estimate, this work would take at least a week.

I didn't expect it to end so soon. It seems that Dean and Sammy have done a good job in supervision and motivation!
Production activities can then be carried out, but Xia Duo's authority in the Tower of Time is not enough to order the tower spirit to activate the relevant functions in the Arcane Garden.

This piece has to be left alone for the time being, and only basic maintenance can be done.

As for other aspects, although he can't do the restoration of the Tower of Time himself, he has made up a lot of books on the knowledge of creation in the past few days, and he still understands the principles.

Basically, it is to repair the magic circle, and then make a permanent coexistence link with the string of the magic net.

The former only requires skills, resources, and patience, while the latter requires at least an intermediate mage.

Counting the peripheral members like Ke Qing, the Tower of Time is only a dozen or so mid-level mages, and the repair period has been scheduled for a few months.

During this period, any impact will need to be postponed.

……

Here, Xia Duo had just returned to his room, and before he could sit down, someone came to his door. The person who came was the personnel director of the Tower of Time—the middle-level mage Depak.

At the beginning, Xia Duo officially joined the Tower of Time and the promotion authority was handled by Master De Parker, and before Lord Epps had not confirmed it, Master De Parker lent him a magic book, which benefited him a lot.

After that, the two also had several exchanges, and they were quite familiar with each other.

Just now, when Xia Duo was inspecting the repair work of the Tower of Time, the two met. Xia Duo didn't know what the other party wanted him for, so he exchanged a few words and got straight to the point:

"Master De Parker, you came to me suddenly, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. There is news from the material department that there is a gap in the repair materials. Did the tower owner leave any news before he left?"

"This--"

Looking at De Parker's serious expression, Xia Duo also had a headache. Niya said a lot of things, but she didn't mention the shortage of materials.

Of course, this may have something to do with what she said before she left that she would be back in two or three days.

"Master De Parker, how long can the materials of the Tower of Time last?"

Hearing this, De Parker probably understood something, thought for a while, and replied: "Other materials are okay, they are sufficient in a short period of time, but topaz and peridot can only last for less than two days. Two kinds of materials, many follow-up restoration work cannot be carried out."

Topaz, peridot?

Xia Duo has little research on magic materials, but he knows very well that all gems are manifestations of elements and energies. Ordinary people may make them into jewelry to show their temperament, but mages really need them the most.

And in most cases, it is regarded as consumables.

Only those real treasures will be used repeatedly as the energy core of magic items.

Although the two gemstones mentioned by De Parker are only used as consumables, they can be used to repair the mage tower, so the price must not be cheap.

Xia Duo didn't ask about the price of the gem, but asked, "Are there any alternative materials?"

"Yes!" De Parker nodded first, but then shook his head, his tone full of pity, "But it's really not worthwhile to replace them with arcane crystals!"

"..."

Can it only be replaced by Ao Neng crystal?Xia Duo was speechless, but he couldn't think of a better solution. After all, he is not Niya, and his authority is very limited, so he can only delay:
"You can ask the mayor of Thain to see if there is any in the warehouse of the territory. Let's talk about it when Niya comes back. She said she will be back in two or three days."

"It can only be done first."

De Parker left with some disappointment, and Xia Duo was finally clean for a while.

……

At the same time, in the eastern part of Savile Town, where the Eagle Chamber of Commerce is located.

Aquiline sat on the top seat, and the two maids behind him squeezed his shoulders gently. Looking at the man who looked like an adventurer who was narrating respectfully, Aquiline was filled with disdain.

A small person who doesn't even want to reveal the identity of the person behind him, what qualifications does he have to discuss cooperation with him, and there is nothing substantive after listening for a long time.

It is said that the two families jointly targeted Savile, but what does this have to do with him!

He just came for the ruins of the mythos. Even if he accepted the task of investigating Axel's killing halfway, it was just a task. Hawke's current attitude towards Savile was to wait and see, not to conflict.

"My lord Aquiline, what the Savile Lord relies on is the Tower of Time left by the Grand Arcanist Savile, but the Tower of Time was not completed until the Grand Arcanist Savile lost his way to the alien plane.

"My lord got the exact news that the Tower of Time has never been fully built, and this sudden transmission made it seriously damaged. This is our best chance. Isn't Lord Hawke about to become a great arcanist? Maybe he need--"

"Enough!" Aquiline suddenly interrupted the other party.

Hearing the other party mention the secret of his lord, his eyes finally changed from impatient to vigilant. How could such tightly sealed news spread out?How many people know?
Aquiline's first reaction was to silence, but then he thought that the other party was just a small person, and the people behind him needed to be more vigilant.

"Go back and tell your Patriarch, if you want to talk about cooperation, come here in person! Go out!"

Seeing this, the man with the appearance of an adventurer stopped talking and saluted respectfully before turning around and leaving.

After he left, Aquiline waved back the two maids, took out a palm-sized crystal ball and put it on the table at hand, and then cast a spell.

Immediately afterwards, a blurred projection screen appeared on the crystal ball.
