Arcane Lord

"Master Sandur?"

Cecily frowned, remembering the man who had no sense of existence in her impression. When she heard Sha Duo mention it again, she couldn't help but think of another bad thing, "Sir, what happened to Master Sandur?"

"Nothing, I just asked him to meet today yesterday, but there was no reply." Cecily looked strange, so she asked the previous question again, and at the same time added, "At the group meeting tomorrow , will he object to my plan?"

This time Cecily was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking seriously or organizing her words, "Sir, I have very little contact with Master Sandur, but there is something I can tell you for your reference."

"What's up?"

"You should be familiar with the orc war two years ago. At that time, Niya was also asked by the old lord to participate in the battle, and it was still on the most cruel frontal battlefield. She was used to slow down the orcs and facilitate the old lord to lead people to sneak attacks."

Um? Sha Duo was a little surprised, not because of Lord Epps' sneak attack on the orcs' lair, which he had known for a long time, but because Niya also participated in the battle, and it was a frontal battlefield.

He had never heard Nia mention it before. If he hadn't heard Cecily mention it today, he didn't know when he would know about it.

At this moment, Cecily's words continued, "At that time, Master Sandur, as a mid-level mage, was also asked to participate in the battle. However, when the battle on the front battlefield was at its most intense and critical, everyone He was desperately trying to escape!

"Fortunately, Niya shocked him on the spot. Otherwise, if he ran away like this, other mages might follow suit. Then, those ordinary soldiers who directly use their flesh and blood to fight the orcs would definitely have a huge drop in morale, and the frontal battlefield would collapse directly. It’s not impossible.”

At the end of the sentence, Cecily's breathing became a little short, and her face became very ugly. Now that this incident has happened almost two years ago, one can imagine her dissatisfaction.

As Xia Duo listened to Cecily's narration, he gradually sketched out the image of a deserter in his mind. He knew that formal mages had special soldiers to protect them when they went to the battlefield, and all they needed to do was to take action at critical moments, using The spell restores disadvantage within a certain range.

In fact, as long as ordinary soldiers fighting directly do not collapse, it is difficult for mages to be harmed. Sandur's fear of being like this is obviously beyond Sha Duo's expectation. He couldn't help but ask another question:

"Is Sandur a Savile leader?"

This issue is very critical. Most of the official mages of the Tower of Time are locals of Savile Territory, and only a few are from outside. If Sandur is a native of Savile Territory, his escape will be even more unbearable.

Chateau's question made Cecily even more angry, "He was the Saville leader, and his family was in the town at the time. No, to be more precise, he sent his mistress and illegitimate child to the time. Coming inside the tower."

"..."

Xia Duo had nothing to say.

At this time, Cecily added, "Afterwards, Master Sandur was not punished for it. Instead, the old lord rewarded him. Sometimes I even hope that he really succeeded in escaping, so that there would be a reason to punish him." He did."

Regarding this result, Chateau did not mean that what Cecily told just now should have been heard from Niya, and the reason why Niya told Cecily instead of telling others was probably just between best friends. Make complaints.

The actual situation on the battlefield at that time was that Sandur had the idea of ​​​​escape, but Niya saw through it and frightened him. However, because it was just an idea, he could not be punished. On the contrary, Sandur himself was a mid-level mage. He really did his best on the battlefield, and giving rewards is in line with the rules.

Shado could probably imagine Nia's depression when she talked about this matter with Cecily. As for whether Nia was lying, Shado didn't doubt it, and there was no need to doubt it.

Shado is no stranger to concepts such as "distant but not close" and "close to each other". Niya and him are indeed "close", but for him, Sandur can't even be considered "distant". superior.

It's just that they are in the same mage tower, and the other party is likely to become a staunch opponent of his transformation plan, so what reason does he have to explain to Sandur.

It's just that Chateau's view is somewhat similar to that of Lord Epps. As long as Sandur has no actual violations, the punishment is unnecessary. At most, it will marginalize him.

Shado was thinking about how to deal with Sandur in the future, when Cecily suddenly said: "Sir, I think he is likely to oppose the transformation of the Tower of Time."

"Ok, I know."

In fact, Cecily was also opposed just now, but Cecily's interests are highly consistent with those of the Tower of Time. As long as Shado can clearly explain the benefits of transformation to the Tower of Time, it will not be difficult for Cecily to be convinced.

In fact, Shado had never considered the possibility that Cecily would oppose him before. In reality, Cecily did object, but her objection was only that the plan was too radical and might have serious consequences for the Tower of Time's income and expenditure. Influence.

The same cannot be said for Sandur. The interests of ordinary Tower of Time members are not necessarily consistent with those of the Tower of Time, especially short-term interests.

There will always be some people who are very short-sighted and can only see the one-third of an acre of land in front of them; or they see too clearly and are too shrewd, knowing that in the long run, their importance will decrease all the way.

As for which type Sandur is, Shado actually doesn't care. He and Cecily have roughly discussed a bottom line for transformation, which at least won't be difficult for most people to accept.

In the next few meetings, he will make more realistic adjustments based on the opinions of these mid-level mages who have a strong say in the Tower of Time, and try to implement the transformation as quickly and steadily as possible.

…

"It's getting late. I also have an appointment with Master Depak, so I'll leave first."

Due to the uncertain time of the mages, when Xia Duo made appointments with these mages, they did not make appointments in the same reception room. Instead, they made appointments in several reception rooms depending on the number of people.

Anyway, there are quite a lot of reception rooms on the public floor. There are even apprentices working on the public floor who usually go there to rest after work. Of course, as long as Xia Duo or other mages decide to use a certain room, the apprentice will be stopped by the tower spirit when he wants to enter again.

Next, Shado met with De Parker, Warren, Horst, Xander, and Leonard in turn.

Among them, Depak is the personnel director of the Tower of Time, Warren is the director of external affairs, Horst is a friend of Albock, and as for Xander, he has a good relationship with everyone.

But as mages, the most important thing is that they are all close to high-level. Among them, Depak and Shado even suspect that he is already a high-level mage.

One of the evidences is that when Sha Duo inquired about the status of the Tower of Time, he discovered that someone had conducted a fifth-level spell experiment not long ago, and it was none other than Depak.

It's just that if others don't talk about this kind of thing, it's hard for him to take the initiative to ask.

As for Leonard, although he is only a young and junior mid-level mage, due to his status, he still has a strong say in the Tower of Time.

Shado has always respected Leonard. The main reason is that it was Leonard who brought him into the Tower of Time and gave him the "first pot of gold" in the Tower of Time (10 learning points). Scroll redemption rights and official apprenticeship status).

It is undeniable that the "first pot of gold" had a huge impact on Xia Duo.

If there were not those learning scrolls, and if there were not the convenience brought by the formal apprenticeship (free opportunity to ask questions in class), then he might still be struggling in the apprenticeship stage, working hard for that little paper and ink!

How could he become the arcanist Sha Duo he is today!

Although Mu Yan's care was behind the "first pot of gold", if Leonard really wanted to give up, there was nothing Xia Duo could do against him.

Of course, Xia Duo is more grateful to Mu Yan, but Leonard also deserves respect.
