After that, the two of them went to the teleportation room together. Sha Duo teleported to the Arcane Federation first. As for Cliff, he didn’t need to worry about it.
…
Sevington, Austrian Union, teleportation area.
As soon as he left the teleportation room, Shado strode towards the trade area. At the same time, he cast a spell to contact Iolum, the nominal teacher he had just recognized not long ago.
During the subpoena, Shado briefly described the situation of encountering Cliff, and then asked Iolum for advice.
The headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation is not large. The so-called trade area is more about serving spellcasters and is not engaged in bulk commodity trade. Xia Duo passed through the trade area in a few steps.
When he came to the door of the library, Iolum's reply came, with only one sentence——
"come here!"
Xia Duo kept walking and walked into the library. After passing through the library, he arrived at the administrative office area of the Austrian Law Federation headquarters.
When we were in Leisen before, it was time for dinner. Now the sky has completely darkened. The interior of the Arcane Federation is illuminated by magic lamps, but even so, there are still several secret deacons working in the office area.
Chateau recognized the location of Iolum's office and walked quickly without stopping until he saw the door of the office, when a young deacon ran towards him from another passage.
When he walked up to Xia Duo, he bowed and said quickly:
"Lord Xia Duo, I'm sorry for being late, please come with me!"
As he spoke, he quickly turned back to lead the way. Xia Duo's footsteps did not stop the whole time, and he only stopped briefly when he reached the door of Iolum's office.
When the door opened from the inside, Xia Duo was about to enter, but seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and nodded to the young deacon who looked about the same age as him, and said "Go and get busy" before walking in.
.
Behind him, Xia Duo seemed to hear a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh, followed by the dull sound of the door closing again.
Walking closer to Iolum's desk, Shado bowed slightly and called, "Teacher Iolum!"
"Sit first!"
Iolum pointed to the high-backed chair beside him with his pen, and then continued to write quickly. Although Shado was curious about what the other person wrote, it was too rude to just stick his head over and peek.
After sitting down, he first calmed down and then began to review the memory of his meeting with Cliff just now, trying to find out some information that he had not noticed just now.
For a long time, I don’t know how much time passed, Xia Duo was thinking, when he suddenly heard a generous voice coming from near the front:
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. The information you gave me before is too important. I'm just calculating the key steps and I really can't bear to give up halfway."
material?
Xia Duo had just recovered from the interruption of his thoughts. When he first heard this word that had nothing to do with the current matter, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Iolum was talking about the report he had given him not long ago.
Information about the materialization of energy-conducting crystals and magic web strings.
Thinking back to the "key steps" that Iolum just mentioned, Sha Duo suddenly felt bursts of ecstasy in his heart. The information he gave to Iolum did not include complicated calculation processes, but more experimental steps and details.
If you want to calculate it, it must be some new inspiration that Iolum obtained through that information. Is this the birth moment of the Mithron Core?
For a moment, Shado completely forgot about Cliff and the ruins of the dream, and immediately asked about the information, "Teacher Iolum, what new discoveries have you made?"
"have!"
Iolum threw away the pen, stood up from his chair, and then took two steps back and forth behind the desk. Shado could clearly hear the sound of his heavy breathing even if he was three or four meters away.
But just when he thought Iolum was about to announce some earth-shattering good news, the other party actually sat back on his chair and said:
"But I can't say it yet. I'll tell you when the time is right! Let's talk about Cliff now!"
"..."
Hearing such an answer, Xia Duo almost couldn't recite it in one breath. He was ready for the other party to announce that they had made a breakthrough in the research of independent arcane fire devices, but he didn't expect to be greeted by a "can't say"!
What kind of trouble is this!
Sha Duo was so anxious! But at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, is Iolum's new discovery about the energy-conducting crystal or the materialization of the magic network string?
Is it the result of research on an independent arctic fire device, or is it some staged breakthrough?
well--
Xia Duo was extremely agitated. He came to his senses only after Iolum reminded him again.
He suppressed all distracting thoughts and described the encounter with Cliff mentioned in the interrogation in detail from beginning to end, and then asked:
"Teacher Iolum, why is Mr. Cliff so obsessed with the resurrection of the dead?"
"well!"
Iolum sighed deeply and looked into the void, seeming to be remembering something. After a long time, he sighed with regret:
"I didn't expect that it had been so long and he still couldn't let it go!"
"If possible, could Teacher Iolum tell me?"
"Since he didn't tell you, it's not convenient for me to talk behind your back. He's a very annoying person. If he finds out, I'll probably not be able to keep quiet for many years."
"..."
Xia Duo was speechless again, "What do you think of this exploration of the Dream Ruins?"
"Since he said it's possible, it's possible, but prophecy can't be trusted. Even if it's not possible, it doesn't matter. He won't do anything to you, but -"
"But what?" Xia Duo asked quickly.
"If you can fulfill this prophecy, you will gain an extremely steadfast ally! I have watched Cliff grow up step by step, and I know him fairly well. If you can, you should try to help him!"
"Then what Teacher Yioleum means is to support this exploration of the Dream Ruins?" Xia Duo said pointedly.
In response, Iolum shook his head and said, "You don't have to care about my opinion. If you don't want to, you can go back to Cliff in the south now and I will negotiate with him."
"No, I'd better go!" Sha Duo said immediately.
He believed that Iolum could settle Cliff and settle this matter. With his current status, there was no need to lie to him like this, but he would also owe a huge favor because of this. The other thing was——
If Cliff had no ill intentions from the beginning, and there would be no consequences whether the exploration succeeds or fails, then it would be too shameful to regret it now.
After all, from beginning to end, Cliff did not show any intention of forcing himself. It would be even worse for his character if he relied entirely on his own imagination.
Considering the benefits of a successful exploration—resurrection spells and a firm ally of the Grand Arcanist, what should Shado have to hesitate?
