Arcane Lord

The Giles Tower, one of the seven towers, is naturally extraordinary. Of course, this is mainly reflected in its height and influence, but when it comes to the ability of the Mage Tower itself, it may not be as good as the Tower of Time in many aspects.

After all, the Tower of Time was built in the last hundred years, while the Tower of Giles was built in the more distant past.

Entering the Giles Tower, Shado saw the busy apprentices coming and going, as well as the mages who were shining with magic aura and obviously carrying many magic items.

The overall number of people is much larger than that of the Tower of Time, especially the number of formal mages. At first glance, it is even more than the apprentices. Although Xia Duo cannot see their specific levels, it can be roughly inferred from the number of magic items on their bodies. One or two.

I'm afraid there are no longer a few high-level mages.

The Great Arcanist's attraction to mages is indeed great!

However, Xia Duo also deduced that the situation of ordinary territories in the core area of ​​Nese may not be as good as that of Tower of Time. After all, the closer to Severnton, the greater the possibility of attracting talents.

It is estimated that except for the territories of a few great arcanists, all the mages in the ordinary territories will be gone. Even if the Tower of Time is so far away from Severton, there will still be mages leaving.

Especially those with outstanding talents yearn for the realm of great arcanists, and it would be great to be closer.

…

Soon, the "old acquaintance" Master Greta appeared in front of Sha Duo and Niya. After that, Nia left, and Master Greta continued to take Sha Duo to the destination.

On the way, Archmage Greta instructed: "The ones you want to train are ten arcane masters from the Seven Towers. Her Royal Highness the Princess attaches great importance to this project. If you can make these ten arcane masters win in the end, maybe it will be possible." There are unexpected gains.”

"Yes, I understand!" Xia Duo nodded and responded.

Maybe the reward is not given now, just waiting to give it together after winning. Of course, if he loses, it may really be gone. In this case, Xia Duo must also teach carefully, even if it is just for the reward.

Along the way, the two talked politely and soon arrived at the training room.

This is a room of about one hundred square meters, with a huge chess board carved on the ground in the center, with two chess pieces from different camps on it.

At this time, there were two chess players standing in their respective commanding positions, directing the chess pieces to come and go and fight. It was the first time that Xia Duo saw the plan he proposed put into effect, and the chess pieces were made so quickly.

Every chess piece here is a magic item, which contains a spell that can be repeatedly activated by chess players. Moreover, all spells are relatively balanced, and only the side that moves first has a certain advantage.

But this advantage is not absolute and may be erased by competition between chess players.

In essence, this is still a spell duel, but with the addition of chess elements. If you are completely at a disadvantage in the spell duel, then even if you play the chess well and cannot capture the pieces, it will still be in vain.

Therefore, it is impossible to use ordinary people as chess players, they must be spell casters.

"Everyone, please stop, Her Royal Highness the Princess has invited the creator of [Arcane Puzzle] here for you." Archmage Greta shouted loudly.

Then, not only the two arcanists who were training in the center of the training room stopped, but the other eight arcanists who were playing ordinary chess next to them also stopped.

Archmage Greta alone is not enough to command these ten arcane masters, but she is Her Royal Highness the Princess's closest subordinate, and to some extent represents the princess herself. Of course, these arcane masters dare not disobey.

In addition, it’s because of Xia Duo.

The arcane masters who have received the plan long ago and have trained for many days always have a feeling that they are still unfinished. Although the rules of [Arcane Puzzle] seem simple, they feel that there is a very profound truth behind it.

The more he trains, the more unfathomable he feels, and at the same time he becomes more and more interested in Sha Duo, the creator.

Upon hearing Archmage Greta's words, an arcanist immediately couldn't wait for those few steps and cast a spell to teleport directly in front of Sha Duo. He first nodded to Arch Mage Greta, then looked at Sha Duo and asked :

"You are Xia Duo, why are you so young? Did you really create this [Arcane Puzzle]?"

The young Xia Duo obviously did not conform to their previous private guesses. They felt that he must be an old mage full of wisdom who could create such a profound chess game, rather than a young man who looked only in his twenties.

"My lord, I -"

"Wait!" The arcanist who spoke before immediately interrupted Shado, "You don't need to call me Sir, just call me Stuart. I'm from Morien. Please tell me how you created this arcana. Confused."

While talking, several other arcanists also gathered around. Shado was really a little nervous to be surrounded by so many arcanists at once, but he also saw that these people had no ill intentions. After all, they could represent Neseri. If you participate in the snow melting competition, you will definitely be the best among the seven towers.

Judging from their age, they are actually not much older than Xia. They can barely be considered as people of the same generation. To achieve such an achievement, they must have spent much more time on magic than on intrigues.

In a sense, although they have more powerful power, their thoughts should be much simpler than ordinary wandering mages.

Of course, Xia Duo would definitely not regard them as completely ignorant little white rabbits.

"Guys, regarding the Arcane Puzzle, I actually made it very clear in the plan submitted to Her Royal Highness the Princess. It comes from my hometown, a game used to simply deduce war. I just slightly modified it. After a while, I dare not call him the creator."

"No wonder I always feel that [Arcane Puzzle] has a strange feeling. It turns out to be war. It seems that Master Xia Duo, your hometown is very martial!"

Xia Duo smiled slightly. Not only was he practicing martial arts, he had been fighting almost non-stop for thousands of years. There were countless strategies and ideas born around war. This was much higher than the level of any so-called fighting nation.

One is more of a showman's bravery, while the other has taken war to an artistic level and is not on the same level at all.

…

The meeting between the two parties went very smoothly, and then Shado settled in Giles Tower, training the ten arcanists every morning, and spending the afternoons in the library.

Although the authority is not high, you can still see many books that are not available in the Tower of Time, especially some of the latest writings. Even just seeing a name is a gain.

In this way, time passed day by day, and Xia Duo became more and more anxious.

In Giles Tower, it was impossible for him to spend half a day meditating. He could only find time to meditate. The efficiency was much lower than that in Linshui Village, but even so, he was still making continuous progress.

Even because of this faint sense of urgency, his efficiency per unit time has improved a lot.

As of mid-April, Xia Duo has been here for almost half a month. Judging from the current arrangements at Giles Tower, he may be required to stay until the snow melting competition, but he wants to advance to the arcanist level before the snow melting competition. It's a natural conflict.

At the end of the day's training, Shado did not go to the library to read. Instead, he went to Archmage Greta and explained his purpose.

Not surprisingly, the Archmage refused, but Xia Duo also argued hard.
