Arcane Lord

Tower of Time.

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

After the wedding, the Midsummer Festival celebrations continued, but Shado, Niya, and Lord Epps returned to the Mage Tower. After returning, Niya threw these things to him and told 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 smells so good!”

Very learning scrolls, most of which are 2-level spells, but there are also two 3-level spells, one is 3-level [Dispel Magic], and the other is the 3-level transformation [Flying Spell] that Shado has always been thinking about.

This means that Niya knew that he had become an intermediate mage, so when was he exposed?

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 to give him benefits.

In addition to learning scrolls, those books are what Sha Duo values ​​the most, including "Advanced Arcane Geometry", a set of four, "Arcane Principles", "Soulology", "Deep Magic Network" and other real theoretical books.

Sha Duo has never seen these books in the library. Combined with what Niya said before - proficient in intermediate arcane geometry before the intermediate level, proficient in advanced arcane geometry before the high level, almost becoming an arcanist. The only way to go.

Sha 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 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 abilities and make money, the latter of which is more important.

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

Looking at the [Crimson Protection Robe] on her body, although Niya didn't directly say it as a gift to him, as husband and wife, Xia Duo has already regarded this shining robe as his own.

Niya didn’t take it back anyway!

Thinking of this, Xia Duo's desire to study magic items faded away again. What he needs to do most now is to digest these things in front of him.

Let’s talk about what happens next!

"[Flying Technique]? That's it!"

With the previous research foundation and the fact that this was the spell that Sha Duo had always wanted to obtain, he put away the other things without hesitation, took the [Flying Spell] scroll and rushed into the spell laboratory.

And on the other side.

Niya, who had just sent her father into the stasis chamber, suddenly became depressed. All she could think about was the last look her father left for her before he was stagnated.

That is the infinite expectation of a father for his daughter, which has been condensed in time until eternity.

I don’t know how long time passed. Niya, who was sitting at the door of the stasis room with her knees hugged, like a statue, suddenly started to shake a little, and her anger gradually returned to her body. Then the voice of the tower spirit rang:

"Master, Master Aibok has summoned us. An important guest is coming and we need to be received by the master!"

"Who is he?" Niya's voice was hoarse, completely lacking the clarity and purity of the past, but this did not affect Talling's understanding.

In an instant, Ta Ling gave the reply: "There is no further news."

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

"..."

The tower spirit was silent for a few seconds, and then replied, "The guest is outside the Tower of Time!"

"Outside the Tower of Time?" Niya muttered it several times, her rationality gradually returning to her body, and she immediately reacted, "In the Mystery Ruins?"

"Yes Master!"

"I can probably guess who it is!"

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

"Ta Ling, ask Xia Duo to come to the reception room!"

"yes!"

…

Xia Duo's residence and magic laboratory.

Xia Duo, who had been fighting with [Flying Technique] 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 excitement on his face.

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

"[Flying Technique] is much stronger than [Levitating Technique]!"

Xia Duo lamented deeply about this. [Levitation Technique] could only move up and down slowly at first. Although after his adjustment, it could fly slowly, it was too slow.

It's not even as fast as walking on the ground!

But [Flying Technique] is different. Both speed and flexibility are greatly improved.

Although the maximum flying height cannot be tested indoors, Xia Duo estimates that as long as the magic network 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 for about 5 minutes. How high it can fly depends on Xia Duo going outside to test it himself.

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

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

To a certain extent, people like mages who have received professional concentration training should be better at flying than ordinary people.

"Ta Ling, what does Niya want from me?"

Nowadays, Xia Duo's authority in the Tower of Time has been upgraded to level 4, and he can talk directly to the tower spirit 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 again.

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo knew that Niya must not have said the reason when she gave the order. Otherwise, Xia Duo would have answered when he asked. .

And if Xia Duo's authority was higher, Taling would ask Niya directly and tell him later.

Now--

Xia Duo had no choice but to pack up and go to see Niya. He had just received benefits from others, and now it might be his turn to contribute.

…

The reception room that Niya asked Shado to go to was even connected to the lord's study. Shado was no stranger to this place. He had been here several times, whether it was to see Lord Epps or Niya.

It's just that we met in the study room before, not in the reception room outside.

On the way to the top floor, Xia Duo walked slowly, thinking about what Niya might want to do with him, because it was not a private matter, or class or something.

Making an appointment in the reception room meant that there was a guest, but he was not a guest. In a sense, Shado was also half the owner of the Tower of Time.

"It's an outsider!"

Xia Duo estimated that Niya probably wanted him to be a backdrop or a shield. Isn't there a saying on earth called "lady diplomacy"~

Perhaps he has become some kind of mascot for public display now, which corresponds to what Lord Epps said to him before.

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