Arcane Lord

————I won’t finish this chapter today. I’ll finish it at home during the holiday tomorrow, just in time to sort out the outline. It’s been a bit messy recently.

In the evening, Codex Square.

Three or four children with cunning eyes desperately dragged their mothers and ran towards the blue portal on the south side of the square. Several mature-looking men walked behind, showing helpless expressions on their faces.

"Lord, what do you mean by this?" one of them asked quietly.

"Isn't this good?" another asked.

"It's good, but -" The man who first raised the topic frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything.

At this time, the third person intervened, "You must have seen those code preachers, right? To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, just because the master's side was suspending more and more projects, and Lord Xia Duo I just came here as a student of the master, but you have also seen the situation here. According to me, don’t think too much. Maybe the lord just wants to hold a welcome dinner for us? "

"But why are we inviting them to the dinner party?" The one who spoke first pointed to the women and children who had entered the portal halfway in front, showing a puzzled look.

"I told you not to think too much, just take it as it comes. Now that you have decided to join the Tower of Time and become a naturalized member of the Great Xia Territory, the days ahead will be long! Let’s get to know each other slowly!"

After the person finished the interrogation, he shouted "Lily, wait for me" and then quickened his pace and ran forward. The two people who stayed behind paused and quickly followed.

…

Chang'an City, Hengchun Square.

The floating city can freely jump directions in the sky, but Xia Duo still determined the direction for the interior. Now in the northwest corner of Hengchun Square, the Tower of Time has descended from the research area, and the door is open waiting for the guests at tonight's dinner.

Speaking of which, the Tower of Time has only been moved three times since it was built, including today's time. The previous two times, one was when Niya's father Epps teleported it to the Mysterious Ruins.

After that, he stayed there for several years. It was not until Xia Duo's floating city was completed that he moved to the floating city research area. This is the third time.

At this moment, Xia Duo and Niya were in the study room on the top floor of the Tower of Time, sitting side by side facing the projection window in front. What was displayed on the projection window was the scene of Hengchun Plaza and the children's amusement park a block away.

After Sha Duo returned from the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance, he built a simple amusement park on the floating city. Although there were not many magic facilities, most of the entertainment facilities common in communities on earth were complete.

Such as slides, climbing ropes, turntables, seesaws, rocking cars, space walks, etc.

The family members of the high-level mages who had just come from Linshui Village walked around Hengchun Square and then mostly followed the flow of people to the children's amusement park nearby.

Many territorial children come to play there almost every day. In addition to the amusement park, there are also some abandoned steam locomotives parked there. Occasionally, the Master of the Tower of Time comes out to try out the locomotives, and the children have the opportunity to experience locomotive racing. a feeling of.

Although this is far from the steam locomotive racing that Chateau envisioned, for children, this kind of moving and noisy big toy is not to mention how fun it is!

Now the family members of those high-level mages drifted by. Although there were not many children, there was no barrier between the children. The few children quickly became involved with the children from the territory.

At present, there are not many people in the territory who do not have to work, so the only people surrounding the children are the family members of high-level mages who were invited to the dinner.

These people are not sure about the details of the children in the floating city, so they will naturally not cause unnecessary misunderstandings because of some bad habits in the mainland.

It is also said that there are new mages who have received the Tower of Time mission and come to take care of them. However, if there is no abnormal situation, they will not come forward and let these children play by themselves.

Those who came to try the steam locomotive were purely out of personal interest, but came with a mission. Public and private affairs were clearly separated in the Tower of Time.

…

In front of the projection window.

Xia Duo watched with Niya leisurely for a while, and then once again devoted himself to the design of the casting ceremony for the construction of the new city. At present, the first phase of the casting ceremony for the new city construction has been mostly completed, and only a little finishing work is left.

The reason why it took so long is because it was the first time that the ritual spell was designed for backward compatibility, and it was also the first time that standards for backward compatibility design were formed.

The next two and three phases can directly apply this "template", and even spell caster training does not need to be conducted a second or third time. Once the training is completed this time, it can be used in the future.

However, if the interval is too long, you may need to retrain.

"Meow meow~"

Xia Duo suddenly felt a furry little thing rubbing against him at his feet. He couldn't help but smile knowingly, and hugged the dark little guy at his feet, but before he could stroke it a few times, the little guy struggled again. Jumped down.

These are the cats he brought back from Yimaska. There are about a hundred of them. Most of them are kept in the territory and the remaining half are young and good-looking and are kept free in the Tower of Time and the Floating City. inside.

Sometimes when Xia Duo gets interested, he will pick one up and pet it, not caring which one is which. Niya is a little different. She prefers to dote on a thin orange cat and stays by her side almost every chance she gets.

Right now, the little orange cat is still lying quietly on Niya's lap, unlike the little black cat that Xia Duo just picked up, which is too naughty and can't stay.

But he has magic, and the little black cat that just ran away quickly flew to his lap on four legs. He has played this game more than once.

This time the little black cat was quiet for a while before leaving. After that, Xia Duo fed a small dried fish and left it alone.

For pet owners, this feeling is good, not too close, but not alienated either. If you invest a lot of emotions, it is actually not a good thing. Generally speaking, no one can live long with pets, let alone an immortal like Xia Duo.

It is quite interesting to raise a giant dragon, but the dragon is an intelligent creature, and there is a Dragon Madness Lock in the main plane, which is a lot of trouble, which makes it impossible for Sha Duo to get close to him.

Speaking of which, the most suitable pet for him should be an elemental creature, wind element or water element, which exactly matches the elemental tendency of his bloodline.

Weak elemental creatures generally have no intelligence, but the nature of elements makes their lifespan very long. As long as nothing unexpected happens, immortality and even immortality are possible.

"Perhaps we can consider conducting an arcane cat experiment." Such thoughts flashed through Sha Duo's mind.

Previously in [Projection Plane·Evriska Independence], he had conducted experiments on Arcane Rabbits, and in the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance, there was even more trustworthy data on Arcane Elves.

But there are two problems here. One is an ethical issue. Unlike hares, which have no emotional sustenance at all, cats are pets after all, at least for Xia Duo. Before the transformation of the arcane cat is completed, there is no telling how many The innocent kitten died.

Another question is much more realistic. The Red Heart Alliance has never considered the question of whether transforming into an arcane form can extend life.
