Arcane Lord

Before last year, the Saville Territory had always insisted on being independent and free from outside interference, but it was only later that it surrendered to the princess.

But also because of this, Niya's marriage needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Epps is worried that after his death, many things will be uncontrollable.

No matter how good the reputation of Her Royal Highness the Princess is, she cannot be absolutely reliable as a backer. Even if her subordinates want to marry Savile, how should they refuse?

In fact, Epps had received a hint from Archmage Aulon, but he didn't go into it at the time, but it was enough to make him alert.

Seeing Niya's tangled look, Epps felt even more distressed, and at the same time, the regret in his heart became deeper. Only at this moment did he realize that there were things that were more important and needed to be cherished than magic and plane crystals. .

It's just that the daughter in his heart who needs protection and growth has also grown a lot at this time!

Thousands of thoughts were surging in Niya's heart, including confusion about the future, complaints about her father, reluctance to let go of her father, and awareness, resistance, and understanding of her responsibilities. In the end, all her thoughts were gone. It turned into a long sigh——

"Father, do I have a better candidate?"

"Who?" Epps immediately became nervous. As a father, he instinctively thought about who his daughter might have been in contact with.

The thing that made him most uneasy was his several trips to Severton. At other times, Niya was in the territory, and he probably knew all the people he could contact, but Severington——

If it was someone from Sevington, he would firmly oppose it. The people there were so variable that the Saville family simply couldn't withstand the torment.

He only hopes that Niya can grow up peacefully instead of getting caught up in complicated intrigues. Niya has a very good talent and can grow step by step without any need for complicated external forces to interfere.

"Niya, who do you think is the better candidate?"

Niya's expression remained unchanged and she slowly said a name, "Xia Duo."

"Shadow?!" The expression on Epps's face when he heard the name was so wonderful. Shadow was actually among his candidates for assessment, and to some extent had more potential than Leonard.

However, the assessment time was still short, and with the Mystery Lock incident, Epps was worried that Niya would not be able to accept it, so he did not mention Chateau, but now——

Epps was about to object when Nia said again:

"Father, didn't you say that the Tower of Time in the Shado territory might become a breakthrough for outsiders to get involved in the territory? Now it's better. When the two breakthroughs are combined, there will be no loopholes."

Niya said it easily, but Epps knew that her daughter would not have the slightest grudge against Sha Duo who provided the secret information. It would be fine if she didn't express her anger. Why now——

"Niya, you don't have to wrong yourself. When the Tower of Time can be teleported next year, teleport the Tower of Time back to Savile Town. If my grandfather [Biquge www.biqugex.me] is not dead, he should be able to teleport with his ability. I won’t care about this change in the guidepost.”

At this moment, Epps had completely considered Niya, but Niya seemed to have made up her mind, "No, father, I think Shado is very good. He became an intermediate mage in less than a year."

"What? He became an intermediate mage?"

"Yes, Father, you should know."

"No, I don't know." Epps was indeed confused. The original inspection target suddenly exceeded his expectations, but this made him firmly oppose Xia Duo. He didn't know if it was because of his daughter's approval. Reverse psychology.

And Niya continued: "The tower spirit records that Sha Duo just cast a third-level spell in the Tower of Time not long ago. That was because the authority of the Tower of Time had not been completely transferred. I thought my father knew about it."

"Maybe I ignored it." Epps whispered. He could probably guess what happened. It should be when he was attacked by the elf high mage, and only then was it possible.

After the authority was transferred, he didn't know about it.

"Father, Xia Duo is a pioneer. He has close ties with the princess. He has grown rapidly. He also has the permission to read the [Nese Scroll]. The most important thing is that he does not have a complicated background."

At the end of the sentence, Epps couldn't help but nodded, but he immediately realized that it was true that he initially favored Xia Duo because of his simple background, but he didn't want Niya to sacrifice anything for it.

Not to mention Sha Duo, even Leonard, who he had been inspecting for a long time, would not agree to it if Niya was dissatisfied in any way.

"No, Niya, you don't need to care about these external factors. What are your true thoughts? Can you really accept such a person? Father doesn't want you to live an unhappy life!"

"Father, I have already thought about it. Putting aside external factors, I also think Xia Duo is more suitable." Instead of finding someone unfamiliar, it is better to find someone relatively familiar.

Niya has been in the Tower of Time for twenty years. She has come into contact with very few members of the opposite sex, and even fewer have communicated with her. Although she has known Leonard for a long time, the things she said were not as good as saying them to Sha Duo, an apprentice. Too much!

Putting aside external factors and the mysterious lock incident, Niya was indeed quite satisfied with Sha Duo, but she had never considered marriage.

Now that she is thinking about marriage, the only thing that makes Niya feel grudge is probably the mystery lock incident, but in order to reassure her father and make the territory impeccable, she cannot ignore this.

"Father, that's it. I've already notified Sha Duo to come over."

"You -" Epps looked at his daughter's firm eyes and couldn't say anything to object, "Oh - I hope you won't regret today's decision in the future!"

"Father, I will not regret it. If I regret it, I will kill him with my own hands!"

"..."

Epps didn't know what to say, so he just sighed and began to think about what else he needed to explain. At this moment, he wanted to dig out everything in his mind and leave it to Niya.

…

On the other side, Xia Duo, who had just stepped out of the portal, suddenly felt a chill on his back. Not long ago, he was reading a book in the mage tower while carefully conducting element experiments.

The spell laboratory hadn't recovered yet, so he had no choice but to make do with it, and then came the sudden contact from the tower spirit - Niya's summons.

Moreover, this meeting was not at the place where they had met before, but in a teleportation room, and they needed to pass through a teleportation gate.

As soon as he stepped out of the portal, he received a message from Niya. The voice seemed to be without any emotion, which made Sha Duo a little uneasy. He didn't know what was waiting for him.

At this moment, he didn't even think about the disappearance of the Tower of Time. He just glanced at the big pit and quickly walked to the town hall.

It was already approaching evening, but on Midsummer Day, the Lord of Light seemed to be particularly generous. The sun was still struggling tenaciously on the horizon, and it looked like it would be impossible to set in a few hours.

The Midsummer Festival celebrations were still going on, with endless cheers and screams. Chateau gave up on passing through the central square. This theoretically fastest route might be the slowest route from today's perspective.

He chose to go around the villa area.
