Arcane Lord

"Is something wrong?"

Xia Duo's attitude was very cold.

"Xia Duo, can you talk to my mentor and ask him to give me some private time? I really can't stand it. He will definitely listen to your words."

"..."

Xia Duo just pretended not to hear Kaili's words. It was already a recognized unspoken rule that the mentor borrowed the apprentice's spirit to conduct experiments through synergistic resonance.

But the mentor will not drain the apprentice completely. Instead, the apprentice will be exposed to all kinds of knowledge because of the mentor's experiments, not to mention private time.

No one can cast spells continuously all day long, let alone the apprentice, and the mentor can't stand it. The mentor's resonance experiment takes up a very limited amount of time for the apprentice.

Mutual benefit, but of course there are certain risks.

On the contrary, those mentors who do not require their apprentices to participate in experiments will torment their apprentices with a large number of bizarre, complicated and trivial tasks.

Even if Shado becomes the real master of the Tower of Time, he will not be able to interfere at will with his mentor's arrangements for his apprentices, unless it goes against the rules of the Tower of Time itself.

What's more, he is only the acting tower owner now, so it is even less possible for him to stand up for Kaili.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first!"

"You -" Kaili's face changed several times, and finally he managed to squeeze out a smile, "Then Xia Duo, you should be busy first! Let's talk later when we have time."

"Um."

Xia Duo nodded and entered the elevator. He closed the door and counted a few silently. When he opened the door again, he was already at the top of the Tower of Time.

Aibo asked him to take Niya's scepter to the study room, maybe Niya had some arrangements there.

When he arrived outside the reception room, the door opened automatically. Xia Duo walked all the way inside, and the study door also opened. When he took the first step into the study, Ta Ling's voice followed him——

"Mage Xia Duo, congratulations on your permission increase. Your current permission is level 9."

"Level 9?!"

Xia Duo perked up. Perhaps this was the real authority of the so-called "acting tower master". Before he could ask what exactly this level 9 authority included, Niya's voice came over again.

However, this sound seemed to be disturbed by something. There were overlapping echoes and high and low noises. It seemed far but not far, near but not close. It was very strange.

Sha Duo immediately entered a state of concentration, but this time it was not to cast a spell, but to listen carefully to Niya's message. After listening, Sha Duo thought about it again. Niya's message mainly talked about three things -

The first one is that she won’t be back for a while due to something else, and the reason is almost the same as what Ai Burke said;

The second one was to tell Sha Duo who he could trust and rely on. There were four people mentioned in total, but Sha Duo only heard three clearly: Ai Bok and Cecily from the Tower of Time, and Mayor Thain in the town.

There was another one who was also from the Tower of Time, but Xia Duo didn't hear clearly, which was a pity.

The third and most important thing, Niya emphasized several times, and Sha Duo was very impressed, is that even if the Tower of Time encounters an energy crisis and needs to suspend some functions, it must not stop the energy in the stasis space. supply.

Currently, there is no energy crisis in the Tower of Time, but there is a shortage of energy. Regular consumption can still be maintained, and there is even a daily balance.

The third thing was just a reminder from Niya, and the reason was very good. Lord Epps was cursed by the elves, which could not be solved, and had to enter the stasis room to wait for possible treatment in the future.

This was the first time that Shado knew that Lord Epps was not dead, and he felt inexplicably relieved, recalling Niya's summons just now, except for these three things.

There are also some small things. For example, the scepter in his hand is actually the symbol of authority of the territory, not the Tower of Time. Also, Niya asked him to go to the supplies department to get a dimensional bag. Important items must not be left in unknown sources. In the dimensional bag.

Xia Duo now has some space in his pocket, and there are only a few blank notebooks, some ink, some dry food, and water in his dimensional bag.

If it had been the time when he had just entered the Mage Tower, this might have been a huge fortune, but to him now, it was almost nothing.

However, what Niya said was so true, and Xia Duo was prepared to follow the good example. If he could get a dimensional bag for free, why not do it!

"Taling, tell me what level 9 permissions can do?"

"Agent Shado, you can do anything except destroy the Tower of Time!"

anything?

Xia Duo became interested as soon as he heard this, and quickly asked: "What if I want to take away all the supplies in the supplies department? Is that okay?"

"Agent Xia Duo, you do not have the management authority of the Materials Department and cannot take away the materials from the Materials Department."

no?

"Then can I first give myself the management authority of the Materials Department and then take away the materials?"

"..."

The tower spirit was silent for two seconds, and then said: "Agent Xia Duo, this behavior belongs to breaking the rules of the Tower of Time, which is equivalent to destroying the Tower of Time. You have no authority to do this."

After testing it for a few times, Xia Duo stopped. He knew that Taling was much smarter than he thought, and was not comparable to the "artificial retards" on Earth.

Then, Shado quickly entered the role of acting tower owner. He first checked the energy reserves of the Tower of Time, and then when he wanted to call up the blueprint of the magic circle to check the repair progress, the tower spirit reminded him that he did not have enough authority.

But he was not angry. If Niya handed over the Mage Tower to him without reservation, he would be frightened.

"In this case, Tower Spirit, let's activate the arcane garden first. You don't need to keep it ripe once a week, just once every half a month."

Xia Duo didn't care how many days it was cooked. What he really wanted to do was to get the Tower of Time back to normal as soon as possible. If he felt that there was insufficient food later, he could change it to once a week.

In fact, Xia Duo's time in Arcane Garden is not that short. He is very clear about the harvest situation there. Not to mention that it is ripe once a week, even if it is ripe once a month, it is enough to supply everyone in the Tower of Time. I am full.

From what he learned, the Saville Territory sells a large amount of grain to the city of Conifera in the east every year, and strictly prohibits the transit of grain from the north.

Even if there were, Savile would be the first to eat it and then sell it to the East.

The Saville Territory itself has a limited population and land, so self-sufficiency may not be a problem, but it is not that easy to provide an additional border trade city.

One can imagine what role the Arcane Garden plays in this.

…

There is nothing for Shado to deal with at the Tower of Time for the time being. Now everyone is busy repairing the Tower of Time. After all, Shado is not very good at Savile Territory.

After some inspection, Xia Duo was ready to go to the town to have a look.

However, before he set out for him, another news came from the Tower Spirit - the material manager of the Tower of Time was looking for him!

Speaking of the material manager, Xia Duo just wanted to appoint himself as the material manager, but unexpectedly, the real material manager came in a blink of an eye.
