Arcane Lord

The communication device returned to calm, and only Aquilaine was left in the room, bowing his head and keeping silent. The Lord's words "You disappoint me so much" kept echoing in his mind, making him feel uneasy for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Aquilaine raised his head from the darkness, and at this moment, there was no hesitation in his eyes.

The Lord's words were not wrong, but that was only for the genius arcanist. The time wasted on obtaining the grace of God was not as good as their original progress.

But he was not wrong either, it was just different choices for different people. Although obtaining the grace of God took a long time, compared to him who had almost no room for improvement, this little time was nothing!

And in Aquilaine's heart, there was a not-so-glorious idea. He felt that the Lord must have concealed something from him--

Otherwise, why was he younger when he advanced to the arcanist, and why was it the Lord who finally approached the Great Arcanist?

The two were actually about the same age, but because the Lord's line had spellcasters in every generation, and he was just born in an ordinary family.

The difference in lifespans led to the difference in their seniority.

Compared to admitting his own shortcomings, Aquilaine was more willing to find an excuse for the Lord to surpass him.

And now, the Lord's words "You disappoint me so much" really hurt his sensitive heart. At this moment, he, who always obeyed orders, had different ideas for the first time.

Thinking of the news that the mysterious Master Gass had sent before, saying that the Tower of Time was not complete at all, and now it was seriously damaged.

This made him firm up his mind again. Of course, he would not give out the arcane crystals, and he didn't even want to give out a few gold coins.

Originally, he was still thinking of using the death of Asel and the threat of Hawke to drive the other party to open the ruins of the maze, but now that he knew that the Tower of Time was seriously damaged, he didn't even need to find an excuse.

Just go there directly!

He didn't believe that the other party really dared to do anything to him!

As for whether the news that the Tower of Time was seriously damaged was accurate, Aquilaine felt that since Master Gass wanted to discuss cooperation, this most basic news should not be wrong.

Of course, even if there was a mistake, he didn't care. He was full of confidence in Hawke behind him.

The only thing that worried him was Hawke. He was worried that doing so would make the Lord come and catch him directly.

This was the first time he violated the Lord's order, and Aquilaine was still a little uneasy.

However, since the decision had been made, it had to be carried out to the end! Aquilaine subconsciously gestured a blue and white star holy emblem on his chest, using the name of the Lord of Mysteries to strengthen his will.

...

Time went back to a few hours ago, just after Aquilaine's consciousness sensing field left, shortly after Master Gas killed his men.

In a private house in the southern district of Savile Town, Master Gas, who was reading books to pass the time, seemed to suddenly feel something, suddenly waved away the rest of his men, closed the door, and then took out the communication device from his waist and placed it respectfully on the table.

Then he knelt in front of the table motionlessly. After a moment, the communication device hummed, and a projection appeared above the communication device.

At the same time, a majestic voice came out, "Gas, how is the matter going?"

Mage Gas didn't dare to raise his head, just lying on the ground, and said in a panic: "Great master, the other party did not agree to attack the Time Tower directly, but the subordinates have passed on the news of the damage to the Time Tower, and there will be results soon."

"Very good. But we can't relax in other aspects. I got the news that their lord will not go back. The rule of the Time Tower will be disintegrated as soon as possible. The empire has long been corrupted. In the future, I will build my own country there. Everything is supreme in the arcane!"

"Yes, great master, everything is supreme in the arcane."

There was no more sound from the communication device on the table, but Mage Gas still knelt on the ground respectfully and didn't get up for a long time.

...

Three days later, Xia Duo once again perfunctorily sent Mage De Park away, fell on the bed with some tiredness, looked at the ceiling, and his mind flew to who knows where.

The day before yesterday, the topaz and peridot in the Time Tower were exhausted. Although some were collected from Savile later, it was of no avail.

The gap is a bit big!

So Master Depark came to him again and again to ask when Niya would come back, but how would I know when Niya would come back?

Xia Duo was also a little annoyed. It was clearly agreed that he would return in two or three days, but now if we count the day of departure, today is already the sixth day.

Until now, Niya has not come back!

At this moment, Xia Duo is like a husband who is worried about his wife's failure to return, but he is more worried about the consequences caused by Niya's failure to return.

In the past two days, due to the lack of repair materials, many repair works have been suspended. Xia Duo can't do anything about it. He can't force others to do it without materials, or take their own materials from their pockets.

In addition, the most critical thing is the impact on people's hearts. Xia Duo doesn't know what Niya said to the mages when she left, but he can still clearly feel that people's hearts are floating these two days.

Xia Duo lay on the bed, his hands spread out on both sides, and sighed softly, "If the morale of the team is scattered, it will be difficult to lead!"

I don't know how long it took, when Xia Duo was about to fall asleep, the voice of the tower spirit suddenly sounded-

"Master Xia Duo, Master Aberk invites you to the meeting in Conference Room 1 on the public floor."

Um? Is Aberke back?

Xia Duo jumped out of bed with excitement. Aibo came back, and Mingnia came back too, but he soon realized something was wrong.

Before today, he had never experienced anyone other than Lord Epps and Niya using the tower spirit to notify him!

Although Xia Duo did not have many contacts with other mages, from his own point of view, the level 4 authority was not low, but he still could not order the tower spirit to contact other people.

If you want to contact other people, you can only send a message yourself.

As for Ai Burke's authority in the Tower of Time, Sha Duo was a little hesitant, but anyway, let's go over and take a look first to see what happened? Why didn't you come back until now?

…

Public floor, conference room No. 1.

At this moment, many mages who were originally on the public floor had arrived first, but they looked at the empty main seat and their companions with the same confused expressions, and they were even more confused.

"What's going on? I received news that it was summoned by Master Aibo."

"Me too, this has never happened before."

…

Several people quietly discussed various possibilities regarding today's announcement and this meeting.

After a while, there were more and more people, and some mages who were familiar with each other had sat together, forming small circles, and started talking with magic.

In the magic conversation, they discussed on a larger scale, "Is there something wrong with the Tower of Time again?"

"Why did you say 'again'?"

"Who knows? Maybe the tower master has something important to announce!"

"I hope so, I don't want to change places and start from scratch again!"
