As for Scoum, he did not participate too much. On the one hand, it was to avoid suspicion. After all, this incident happened in Giles Tower. On the other hand, he also had the help of the Seven Towers.
His main task is to stay in Giles Tower and continue to summon Thorne. If he can contact Thorne, many questions may be answered.
After everyone in the Seven Towers assigned their tasks, Skoum looked at the only non-Seven Tower presence present and said, "Your Excellency Iolum, I need your help with something."
"Please tell me?" Iolum did not refuse, and he could even guess what was going on.
"Please Lord Iolum determine the role played by Lord Shado in this matter! If this matter has nothing to do with him, it is a complete accident. The Seven Towers will not let a senior arcanist bear any additional responsibilities.
; But if this matter has anything to do with him, then even a senior arcanist, he must pay the due price!"
"Can."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
After that, everyone in the Seven Towers quickly split up, and Iolum also left Giles Tower and returned to the Austrian Law Federation.
…
Clifford.
Located in the eastern part of the core area of Netheril, after Cliff became the Grand Arcanist, due to his special status, the Severnton Council took the initiative to allocate a territory to him.
This place was originally the inherited territory of a lord from the Janik Tower camp, but because that lord created undead creatures on a large scale when resisting the orc invasion, although he ultimately saved the people, he was still deprived of his territory.
The area of this territory is not large, it can even be said to be very small, especially for a great arcanist, but in the core area where the land has long been divided up, it is already very difficult to have such a territory.
What's even more rare is that Cliff Territory has a total of six large and small mage towers, which is a huge wealth for any spell caster.
But now, on an ordinary night at the end of the Melting Snow Moon, a sudden change made this huge wealth, which has no heirs so far, even more touching.
Tower of Glory.
The core main tower of Cliff Territory is also a mage tower built under the personal supervision of the Great Arcanist of Cliff and where he has lived for a long time.
Compared with the general cylindrical structure of mage towers, this mage tower looks quite different——
Its main shape is a stack of three huge cuboids, the largest at the bottom, the smallest at the top, and above the smallest cuboid, there is an extremely tall, extremely pointed obelisk.
On the top of this obelisk, which is three times the height of the main body, is a huge holy symbol of the Lord of Radiance - a golden sun with a corona halo on the edge.
But tonight, the Tower of Glory does not seem so glorious, and a farce of disputes over a huge unowned wealth is being staged in it.
In a splendid hall, most of the high-level spell casters in the Tower of Glory were gathered. A golden-robed mage looked sad, but said firmly with eyes:
"The tower spirit has disappeared and the teacher has lost contact. As the rotating director of the Tower of Glory this month, I, Mars, have the responsibility and obligation to restore order for you."
But as soon as he finished speaking, another mage opposite him immediately retorted: "This month is only the last two days. After this month, will it be Vernal again?"
Hearing this, Mars did not panic at all. He swept his eyes over everyone one by one, and then said calmly:
"The tower spirit has disappeared, and the authority of the Tower of Glory will not be transferred even next month. I would like Vernal to come, but can he do it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, without waiting for the previous retort to speak, another golden-robed mage stood up: "It's not up to you to decide whether it's okay or not. The ten of us can nominate a real person in charge and give him the power
Permission!"
"Then you do it! Why don't you do it?"
A trace of disdain flashed in Mars's eyes. After the tower spirit disappears, the authority of the Tower of Glory can indeed be given by the golden-robed mage through public recommendation, but this also means that the recommender has given up the possibility of his own inheritance.
Everyone who can stand here and argue with him, if they weren't chasing the possibility of inheritance, why would they come here? They would have made their choice long ago.
"Vernal, I think you should know better than me what it means for the tower spirit to disappear. Now I have the highest authority in the Tower of Glory. If you support me, then we will rebuild order as quickly as possible. Even if it cannot be done in the future,
By inheriting the complete territory, at least this Tower of Glory can be preserved."
Faced with Mars' solicitation, Vernal remained silent. Just when everyone thought Vernal was about to bow his head, there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside the hall, and a panic-looking young mage broke in:
"No, my lords, someone is coming from the Seven Towers. They are coming, they are -"
Before he could finish his words, a tall and strong figure suddenly appeared in the hall out of thin air, and the young mage had just spoken. However, in this case, his voice could probably only be heard by himself:
"This is Grand Arcanist Badigal from Gustav's Tower!"
"Grand Arcanist of Badigal?"
Seeing the person coming, Mars' expression immediately changed. As the person with the highest authority after the disappearance of the tower spirit of the Tower of Glory, he has the greatest possibility of inheriting the Tower of Glory, but only if there are no unexpected variables.
There is no doubt that Badigal's appearance was something he never expected.
However, inside the Mage Tower, even though the Tower of Glory has lost its tower spirit, Mars does not feel much fear, he is just worried about the inheritance issue.
"Good night, Lord Badigal, I am Mars, the rotating director of the Tower of Glory for the current month. The Tower of Glory welcomes you. But you did not notify us in advance at all, and even broke into our important meeting. This is not what the Seven Towers should do.
Some attitude." Mars said without being humble or arrogant.
In fact, he regretted it deeply. If he had known that Badigal would appear earlier, he would have blocked the teleportation circle in advance.
Of course, if he blocks the teleportation circle in advance, it may cause greater chaos, and he may be eliminated directly.
In this situation, he could only hope that the Seven Towers would not interfere in the internal inheritance affairs of the Tower of Glory. But seeing Badigal's solemn expression, Mars couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart.
"Everyone is here, the time is urgent, so I will tell you straight away. The Great Arcanist Cliff had an accident while exploring the star realm. The Seventon Council attaches great importance to this and is investigating the matter. I need you to temporarily block the brilliance.
Tower, no one is allowed to leave, and no news is allowed to spread."
Badigal quickly stated his request, and then stared at everyone in the hall, especially Mars, the leader.
His words did not cause much commotion in the hall. On the one hand, everyone was at least a high-level mage and their mentality was relatively stable. On the other hand, due to the disappearance of the tower spirit, everyone had actually expected it.
The only question is whether to block the Tower of Glory, and does this count as the Seven Towers interfering in internal affairs?
It is not known what the rest of the people think, but after listening to Badigal's request, Mars suddenly felt happy.
“Perhaps we can take this opportunity to help others make a decision as soon as possible!”
