Arcane Lord

However, the protection mechanism in the preparatory teleportation hall is far more than the spell-suppressing field that is almost in the dead zone of the magic network. There are also powerful binding and even expulsion spells.

Especially the binding, which is almost an enhanced version of the stasis spell.

Just when Xia Duo was still happy that Niya finally took action, he didn't expect Niya to deal with him as well. When his mind stopped, Xia Duo still had some vague perception of the outside world.

It seemed to be teleporting, and the next moment, his eyes lit up and found that the environment he was in was no longer the previous preparatory teleportation hall, but Niya's bedroom.

And Niya herself stood beside him and said apologetically: "Sorry, I can only separate you in this way."

"Where is that person? How long has it been now? Are you sure of his identity?"

In the stasis state, the passage of time cannot be perceived. Xia Duo still retained some perception just now. He is not sure whether it is an illusion, but it is obvious that the time must be no longer the time when the battle took place before.

As for how long it has passed, it depends on how long Niya takes to release the stasis state for him.

"I just took you back to the bedroom. Promise me not to do it easily." Niya held his hand and said softly.

"Okay, I promise you."

Shado agreed immediately. This situation is the best result now. The next step is to confirm the identity of that person.

"By the way, Niya, where is that person? Where did you put him? Can you confirm his identity?"

"In the underground prison. You suddenly acted like that just now. I thought you found something, so I put him there temporarily. What if he is really my great-grandfather?"

At the critical moment, Niya still believed in herself more. Xia Duo felt very relieved, but Niya's current appearance of worrying about gains and losses also made him feel a little distressed, so he comforted her:

"Don't worry, if it is really Savile himself, after confirming that he has no malice, I will apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness. I think, as an elder, he should forgive us!"

"It's hard to say. When I was a child, I often heard my father mention my great-grandfather. I still remember the look of admiration and fear very clearly today." Niya whispered.

Xavier was exiled to another world by divine punishment before Niya's father was born. The two should not have met, but they could still have such deep feelings, which could only be passed on from Niya's grandfather.

Perhaps Niya's grandfather felt more deeply, but it was a pity that Niya's grandfather had died when Niya was born. If there had been no orc tide, Niya's grandfather might still be alive now!

It would be interesting if Xavier, who had returned from "serving his sentence" in advance, was seen again at this time.

…

No matter how worried Niya was, she had to personally confirm whether the man who appeared on the summoning array was her great-grandfather.

The first floor of the Tower of Time, Prison No. 1.

When Shado and Niya appeared here, the man in the prison was still in a stagnant state, with gray hair and simple clothes, almost like an old farmer in the countryside, not a powerful spellcaster.

But the eyes of the old farmer in the countryside were not as sharp as the one in front of him. Even if people only took a glance, they would be impressed.

Only then did Shado have time to carefully observe the other person's appearance. He didn't know if it was because of preconceived notions, but this person's eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to Niya's father Epps.

Especially the withered appearance of Epps when he was cursed with aging two years ago, which was almost 70% similar to the person in the prison now.

"Niya, do you have a way to confirm his identity?"

"In the notes left by my great-grandfather, he was mentioned that when he was a child, he accidentally entered the forest and fell into a hunter's trap because of his playfulness, and he was left with a disability on his foot. Later, because of his outstanding wizard talent, the disability was cured, but my great-grandfather always kept the scar on his foot to warn himself. If this person is my great-grandfather, he should still have that scar."

"..."

Shado was speechless. How could he check this person in a stagnant state? Even if he hit him with a hammer, it would be useless. Once the stagnant state was lifted, the other party would take off his shoes to verify when he saw that he was in prison. This was simply a humiliation!

If it wasn't true, it would be fine. If it was really Savile, it would be hard to guarantee that there would not be a thorn in his heart.

"Are there any other ways?"

"Another way is to ask him about his great-grandfather's past. If he can answer, it should be true."

"Not right, not right."

Shado still shook his head. As he said, if it's not true, it's fine. If it's true, then everyone will be embarrassed.

"Then what do you say?"

This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Nia couldn't help but get anxious. She was even ready to let the other party out first. Shado quickly stopped her and proposed a more feasible plan:

"Kilan Gaota is good at the field of blood. Maybe there will be a spell to verify blood relationship. I'll go to Seventon and talk about it when I come back. Anyway, he is in a stagnant state now and has no concept of time. It doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."

Nia hesitated, but it seemed that there was no better way. She didn't want the meeting with her great-grandfather to be too abrupt. Shado had already attacked before. If she interrogated again, it would be too bad.

"Okay, how long will you be gone?" Nia asked.

"I'll be there now and will be back tomorrow at the latest. You stay home and think about other verification methods and wait for me to come back."

"Okay."

Niya nodded, trying hard to turn her eyes away, forcing herself not to look at the person in the prison.

…

After comforting Niya, Shado set foot on the teleportation circle heading to Severdon. As soon as he arrived at Severdon, Shado received a message from Iolum:

"Is there anything urgent about coming to Severton so late?"

Shado was almost startled by this sudden summons. You must know that he had just arrested a person suspected of being Savile, and Savile was a student of Iolum. It really felt like he was catching someone.

Before coming to Severton, Shado was still thinking about asking Iolum to go back and help verify it. Now he was a little hesitant. After all, Savile's guidance beacon was also a secret.

He still didn't want to tell Iolum until it was really determined.

And if the one who comes back is true, the more insiders there are, the more embarrassing it may be for Savile.

Therefore, Shado was still prepared to wait until everything settled before notifying Iolum. Now he still sought help at Kiran Tower as originally planned.

After dealing with Iolum on the grounds of personal matters, Shado immediately summoned Brundes, the director of the Austrian Law Federation who had a relationship with him before, and asked him if he had time now and he had something to discuss.

Fortunately, although it is relatively late now, for a great mage who has a role in the Austrian Law Federation, it is probably the time to be active.

Almost less than a minute after Chateau's subpoena, Brundes' reply arrived——

"Lord Shado, I am honored to receive your invitation. I have time now. Do you need me to go to the Tower of Time?"
