Sixth floor of the Tower of Time, Siole Research Laboratory.
It had been quite some time since Xia Duo had been here. Before opening the door to the laboratory, he had imagined whether it would be as messy as the last time he came here.
The fact is that it has been improved a lot. Not only is everything in order, at least it doesn't look messy at first glance.
Maybe it's the management methods he formulated for each private research laboratory that have worked, or maybe Siole has awakened himself, but no matter what the reason is, Chateau is very satisfied with the situation here.
There is one more reason for handing over the research on miscellaneous crystals to replace mithril to Siole.
Just when Xia Duo stayed at the entrance of the research room for a few seconds, a familiar figure came out from inside and said with surprise:
"Xia Duo, why are you here?!"
"It's Edrich!"
Sha Duo couldn't help but have a smile on his face. After all, he and his old friend hadn't seen each other for several years due to the trip to the projection plane. Of course, in Edrich's timeline, he was not
Didn't stay away for too long.
"By the way, aren't you at Tilak's side? Why are you here?"
"well!"
When asked this question, Edrich's face suddenly fell. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the general laboratory, and then said gloomily:
"It's not Uncle Siole. He said that he can't do it alone, so he insisted on me to help. He said he would only come here for a month, but now it's been two or three months, and he still won't let me go! Tilak is also here
You need me!"
"That's it!"
Xia Duo seemed to understand why the place had become so organized. At the same time, he thought of a question, so he quickly asked:
"Could it be that you were responsible for the project progress, experimental records, and material subsidy applications at the Siole Laboratory in the past few months?"
"it's me!"
Edrich nodded helplessly, "I have told Uncle Siole more than once that any third-level apprentice who has entered the academy can do these jobs, so why bother looking for me!
"And if you find level 3 apprentices, they can be recruited into the research room and become full members after they complete the [Level Upgrading Trial]. Isn't it much more useful than me alone!"
The two were talking, and Siore walked out of the laboratory with two dark circles under his eyes and an obviously excited expression. When he came to Chateau and Edrich, he first glared at Edrich, and then
Then he saluted Xia Duo and said:
"Lord Chateau, could it be that Edrich asked you to come and take him away?"
Sha Duo glanced at Edrich, who had an agitated expression on his face, paused deliberately, and then told the truth: "No, I'm looking for you for other reasons. But Edrich also has important work to do with Tilak.
Do, if he is not necessary here, it is better to let him go back."
When Siore heard this, he immediately looked at Edrich, but this time Edrich, with Chateau here, did not choose to give in, but responded with firm eyes.
Seeing this, Siole sighed softly, looking a little lonely, "I originally saw that you were very interested in the gadgets I made, so I was going to take you to go deeper into the field of change driving. I didn't expect you and your brother
I still made the same choice, alas!”
"Uncle Siole——" Edrich hesitated.
"Needless to say, I understand what you mean. No matter what choice you two brothers make, I will support you!"
After saying that, Siole looked at Xia Duo and said, "Mr. Xia Duo, I'm sorry for wasting your time on some personal matters. Now let's get back to the topic. You just said you have something to do with me. Is there anything I can do for you?
"
Chateau glanced at Edrich. At this moment, his face no longer had the complaining expression on his face. Instead, there was a lot more self-blame. Chateau didn't want to get too involved in this kind of family ethics drama, so he quickly talked about it.
Business:
"I got a research material on using mixed crystals to replace mithril. There are some successful cases in it. I need you to do two things. One is to copy the successful cases, and the other is to seek improvements. This is a
For long-term tasks, the Tower of Time will regularly allocate funds to sustain your research."
"Mixed crystal replaces mithril?" Siore and Edrich exclaimed almost in unison.
"Yes, it is mixed crystal instead of mithril!"
With that said, Xia Duo took out the relevant information that he had already prepared from his personal space, and used a small transformation spell to send it directly to Siore.
However, Siole did not reach out to receive the information, but looked at Xia Duo blankly, with excitement and worry in his eyes, and his voice trembled a little:
"Is this really left to me to study? Aren't there still Towers of Time, and are there other high-level mages?"
"Niya, Aibok has his own research field. Depak is probably thinking about how to advance to become an arcanist, and he can't spare the time to study this for a long time. Besides, since I chose you, I must have
Based on my consideration, I believe you are qualified for this task!"
After saying that, Chateau once again signaled to Siore to accept the information, and Edric also played assists at this time, but maybe because of what happened just now, he just shouted "Uncle Siore" a few times.
.
Hearing Edric's urging, Siole seemed to have escaped from some kind of fantasy world and subconsciously took the information suspended in front of him. However, he finally came to his senses after taking it and said quickly:
"Thank you, Lord Xia Da, for your trust."
"No need to thank me, just complete the mission well. Apart from the time limit and progress requirements for the replica mission, I don't make any requirements for the improvement mission. It's all up to you. If you have any difficulties other than research during the mission, you can contact us directly.
I can also go find Cecily, I will inform her later."
"yes."
…
After talking about the business, Xia Duo didn't stay much longer. After returning to his residence, he hurriedly contacted the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, or more precisely, the Said consultant of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
If President Jenna really went to the outer plane to kill gods as he suspected, then maybe some clues can be gleaned from Said.
It's just that for a long time after the spell casting summons, Said didn't reply, which made Sha Duo suspicious. Said was only a senior arcanist, could he also participate in the battle to kill the gods?
Or maybe he simply guessed in the wrong direction. It wasn't the God-Slaying Incident, but some other more complicated matter that temporarily tied them up.
But for a moment, Xia Duo couldn't think of anything that could tie up a senior arcanist and make him have no time to reply to the message.
If it were in the past, Xia Duo could only guess blindly while passively waiting for the results in this situation, but now he can do more.
After contacting Jenna directly with no success, Sha Duo decisively contacted his cheap teacher, Iolum.
