Arcane Lord

The fact turned out to be exactly what Shado had predicted. The day after he returned from Severton, Brundes came to the door with the sincerity of Seven Towers.

In the reception room, looking at the 10 spiritual cores in the small box on the table at hand, Xia Duo might have been tempted before obtaining the [Spiritual Closure Blade], but now——

There was no wave in his heart at all, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

Even if I showed my need for ectoplasm core before, can I still be used to it now? Even if it could, could a mere ten ectoplasm cores make a great arcanist willing to take risks?

Xia Duo shook his head repeatedly in his mind, "Director Brundes, I told the teacher about this matter two days ago in Severington. I don't want to get involved. Now I also ask you to convey this to Qi. Everyone in the tower, please come here today, I have something else to do, so I won’t entertain you.”

After saying that, Xia Duo stood up and was about to leave. At this time, Brundes became a little anxious, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead. He got up and wanted to stop Xia Duo, but when he reached halfway, he couldn't. If he dared to continue stretching, he could only say:

"Lord Xia Duo, it is indeed wrong to trouble you with this matter, but I still ask you to understand the difficulties of the Seven Towers. The theft of the Nese Scroll is not just as simple as losing a treasure, but also may affect Nese magic. The threat posed by the system is closely related to every arcanist, and now that we have clues, it is impossible for the Seven Towers to give up. "

"Horn taught you to say that?" Sha Duo asked.

Blunders was choked for a moment, and he couldn't help feeling resentful towards the people above him, but among the Seven Towers, he was the only one who had the closest relationship with Lord Shado!

Although he was very reluctant, Brundes still held back a sentence, "This is the attitude of the Seven Towers."

Upon hearing this, Shado was immediately unhappy. Although he was concerned about the overall situation, everyone had different opinions on what the overall situation was. At least in his opinion, whether he could find the Nese Scroll or not at this stage had nothing to do with the overall situation. .

On the contrary, involving him in unknown risks is truly against the overall situation.

However, Shado also knew that as the messenger of the Seven Towers, Brundes might not have meant what he said, but he still showed a look of displeasure:

"If this is the attitude of Seven Towers, then you can leave."

Having said this, Brundes was already deeply aware of Shado's resolute attitude. Thinking of Horn and Badigal's instructions when he came, he felt even more grumbled in his heart. Trump card:

"Lord Shado, if you agree to participate in this matter and wait until the Nese Scrolls are recovered, that set will be stored in the Tower of Time during your lifetime."

"Right now, the set of Nese Scrolls is just an unconfirmed news, but you've already thought so far ahead?"

Xia Duo shook his head, "This is simply a waste of money. What should we do if we don't get the relevant information this time, and we don't even get back a single golden page?"

Seeing that Xia Duo's tone was relaxed, Brundes felt a little more relaxed, so he asked: "What does Lord Xia Duo want? As long as the Seven Towers have it, it will definitely be satisfied!"

"You are talking empty words again. What I want may not be satisfied by the Seven Towers!"

Xia Duo wants everyone in the Seven Towers to listen to him. Can the Seven Towers agree? Obviously not. To put it bluntly, even if he only needs one gold coin as a condition, Seven Towers may not feel that the offer is too much.

Just listen to this kind of boasting about Haikou's conditions at first glance. If you really take it seriously, you would be too stupid.

Gu Yan

Of course, Xia Duo didn't want to get into too much of a stalemate with Seven Towers. He had already realized the compromise before Brundes arrived today. The only difference was the price.

"I want the Seven Towers to cooperate with me in recruiting new citizens from the mainland. In addition, I need some records and research information from Giles Tower on the background fluctuations of the Magic Network."

Of course, Xia Duo also wanted the large amount of data and experience accumulated by the Seven Towers in plane exploration, but he felt that this was too much.

The main point is that new citizens are not so difficult for Seven Towers to accept, but for Xia Duo, the size of the population is directly related to the development potential of magic civilization in the future.

Because Netheril now wants to open up the Conchi Plains, Abbey Hills, and Cologne Plains at the same time, the new people who can be recruited from the interior are already close to the valley.

This can be seen from the fact that the number of people sent by Brod from the recent portal has become less and less, and has even shown a single-digit increase trend.

However, such new territorial residents are mostly landless farmers, or freedmen who are looking forward to changing their original lives, and do not involve the number of people in the mainland territories who maintain normal operations.

If they really squeezed, they would definitely be able to squeeze out more people. This was the main reason why Xia Duo asked for the population without any burden.

In addition, many lords have begun to implement the "Agricultural Book" that was released before, and even led large-scale land annexation themselves, which resulted in more landless farmers.

It's just that those lords also need to use people, such as opening up new lands, upgrading industries, etc.

But if the Seven Towers come forward to recruit, even if they can't recruit people from the territory outside the Seven Towers camp, the people within the Seven Towers can definitely meet Xia Duo's conditions.

As Brundes said, as long as the Seven Towers are willing to cooperate, Xia Duo's requirements will definitely be met.

…

As for the records and research data on the background fluctuations of the Magic Network, they were all what Xia Duo wanted for Niya, and they were treated as just some extra information.

After the floating city mystery lock is completed, Niya will continue her research on the communication mystery lock. Having this information is very useful whether it is studying the communication mystery lock or further studying the nature of the magic network later.

Previously, when the princess was still there, Niya came back from Giles Tower and brought back some information, but obviously the Giles Tower kept more information.

After all, no one would have thought at that time that the princess's designated heir would exclude the princess's old subordinates and students.

…

Brundes was very surprised by Shado's request. Although he had already known that Shado was recruiting new citizens through Broder, he still had not thought about using population as a condition.

In his opinion, Shado may ask for knowledge or treasures. After all, to the arcanist, these two are the most important.

The records and research materials related to the background fluctuations of the Magic Network can be regarded as knowledge, but compared with the knowledge that can be directly put into use, it is still too rough.

Brundes had also heard before that Shado's wife, the princess's student Niya, chose the magic network background fluctuation as a research direction after she advanced to the arcanist level. Now it seems that these two people are really in love!
