Arcane Lord

The amount of divine grace Aibo received was even worse than that of Xia. It was all about "performance". The two chatted about divine grace for a while, and then returned to the Tower of Time together.

Now the magic network environment outside the Tower of Time has been completely restored, and the code sculpture is almost completed.

As for the familiarity of the people in the land with the laws related to land granting, Chateau's understanding of Leiden should be about the same, enough to make them a key node in building an order cycle in the land granting ceremony.

The "Yuanyuan" carrying the northern bards has also arrived in the Daxia Territory. The only thing left before the land granting ceremony is the final completion of the Codex Square.

In more than a month since the end of the exploration of the ruins of the Innocent Master Tower, Sha Duo has been busy first doing a comprehensive inspection of the watch tower and maintaining the Blazing Sun Array, and then busy repairing the magic network and designing and manufacturing code sculptures.

After being so busy now, Xia Duo can finally relax for a few days.

However, being relaxed doesn't mean not doing anything, it just means that there is less urgency than before and it has become much more calm and leisurely.

Tower of Time, Materials Department.

Chateau's sudden arrival made Cecily quickly put down her work and stood up to greet him, "Sir, why are you here?"

"Stop by and have a look, no need to be polite."

Chateau motioned for Cecily to sit down first, while picking up a document on her desk, glanced at it, put it down again, and then asked: "Did the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce send someone here?"

"not yet."

"not yet?"

Xia Duo couldn't help but frowned. He was busy during this period and didn't pay attention to this matter, but he remembered clearly that more than ten days ago he notified the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to send someone to discuss new magic materials for the Tower of Time. Purchase Agreement.

Unexpectedly, after so many days, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce still hasn’t sent anyone.

"Have you contacted Saitos? Did he give any reason?" Sha Duo asked.

"Contacted, Sethos said that he only received orders about the promotion of new coins, not about new purchase agreements, but——"

Speaking of this, Cecily suddenly hesitated, then lowered her voice and whispered: "A few days ago, Saitos contacted me and said something like being unhappy at Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. He seemed to be interested in joining Satos. Vailland.”

"Then how did you reply to him?"

"How can I make the decision on this kind of thing? I reported it to Niya, and Niya said she just pretended not to hear anything. I guess there might be something going on in Severton that affected Sethos."

Accidents, accidents again. What bothers Xia Duo most now is accidents. What accidents can happen in Severton? President Jenna is obviously the Grand Arcanist. Unless something happens to her, she can easily suppress any major turmoil within the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

But what could happen to a Grand Arcanist?

Shado immediately thought of what he had "overheard" from the communication between her and Seid about the emergence of the New God when he last saw Jenna in Severton.

Is it related to the New God?

Could it be that he went to the outer plane like Master Byron and was delayed by something and never came back?

That would be really interesting!

Could it be that Jenna gathered a group of people to kill the gods and then failed?

The probability of this happening is extremely low. It's not that the probability of God-Slaying failing is extremely low, but that the God-Slaying itself is unlikely to happen.

After getting the God Ascension Ceremony Book, Sha Duo understood that gods - at least gods who were accomplished through the God Ascension Ceremony, did not have anything like a godhead to plunder, and killing Him might not even get a single hair out of it in the end.

Of course, if the power of order that the God-Slayer relies on to ascend to the gods conflicts with a certain god, then even if there is nothing to plunder, the demise of the target god itself can be regarded as a big gain.

Could it be that Jenna is related to the new gods and currencies that Seid summoned? Or is it related to commerce, trade, or even the areas that Jenna's other ascension allies are interested in?

Thinking back to it, after Niya met the princess in Severton not long ago, she said that the princess's incarnation would leave soon. Could it be that the princess was also involved?

If the princess participates, Byron will most likely participate. If Byron participates, then Iolum may also participate, or even Congenio.

But when I met the two people at the beginning of the month, I didn't find any abnormal signs!

Or are those two people already able to regard the God of Slaughter as ordinary and not show it at all?

This is obviously impossible.

For a moment, Xia Duo thought of many things. The last thing he wanted to see was that as soon as a new god appeared, a large group of god-slayers would swarm up, especially if the gods who had achieved it first were involved.

This means that the chances of succeeding in ascension to the gods for latecomers will become smaller and smaller until they disappear.

Sure enough, becoming a god is not the most ideal upgrade route for arcanists. There are limited pits. Even if you can succeed in becoming a god, you will face the unfavorable situation of infinite involution and suppression of backwardness in the future.

…

"My lord, my lord?"

Cecily's voice interrupted Sha Duo's thoughts. Fortunately, from the moment Sha Duo got the God Ascension Ritual Book and learned the inside story of God Ascension, God Ascension was no longer his first choice in the future.

The gods of order face eternal competition with the power of order, and there will never be a shortage of challengers in the endless years. Although the gods of chaos have no worries in this regard, their existence itself means big trouble. People like Xia Duo who believe in order, The country and the god must be encircled and suppressed.

Once you become the God of Chaos, you will have to live in darkness for the rest of your life, living with killing and betrayal. It is simply not a life for human beings.

"I understand, Sethos, you don't have to reply deliberately. Just pretend that this never happened. I will contact the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce again and you will perfect the new purchase agreement and negotiation plan. Maybe the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will send someone in a few days."

"yes."

"Then continue your work and I won't interrupt you."

After leaving the Materials Department, Chateau turned around and walked into the Audit Office next door. This newly established department was nominally affiliated with the Materials Department and was managed by Cecily.

But in fact, the Audit Office has always been independently responsible for the stewards sent by the four chambers of commerce: Saville Hans, Slavin, Liaton, and Flash Gold.

These Chamber of Commerce managers are very good at digital work, and they are like a duck in water responsible for the specialized audit work in the Tower of Time.

Of course, since these stewards are ordinary people and do not know magic, they can easily be fooled when it comes to magic issues.

And this is also the main reason why Xia Duo came here this time.

…

"Sir, these are all the material subsidy application records of the private research laboratories in the Tower of Time in the past six months."

"Yes." Xia Duo nodded, and then began to read through them one by one.

The main job of the Audit Office is to review various documents and records related to numbers. In other aspects, Xia Duo is not too worried.

Although it is in the Mage Tower, most of the documents and records with numbers are not much different from those outside. Most of them are common sense issues. It only depends on whether the numbers before and after are correct, and whether anyone is deliberately hiding something.

However, there are many tricks in the material subsidy applications of various private research laboratories. Ordinary people in the audit office may be good at mathematics and can detect inconsistencies in the numbers.

But if you don't have enough knowledge about magic, you can easily be fooled by those private research laboratories and use various incomprehensible names to get subsidies.

Although the Tower of Time's monthly subsidy to each private research laboratory has a cap, you can't let people fill the cap every time!

Isn’t this a long-term loss of Tower of Time resources!
