At this moment, Epps even wondered if the person in front of him was a puppet. He heard that there was a puppet country in the far east that could produce puppets that resembled real humans.
But only the elves of Cormanthor knew how to contact them, but as the Grand Arcanist Brod, it must not be difficult to obtain a puppet from the elves.
With this idea in mind, Epps deliberately observed Butler Miller's expression and behavior, hoping to find out any doubts.
"Lord Epps, do you have any other questions?" Butler Miller asked again, as if Epps would leave if he didn't answer.
Epps quickly said: "Are Mr. Broad's other students free now?"
"I can't disclose it without authorization, but if you don't mind, Lord Saville can wait here. In four days, they will attend the regular meeting of the Mage Tower."
This time, Butler Miller talked a little more, and Epps didn't see any sign that the other party was not a real person, but he definitely couldn't wait four days, so he asked again:
"Can I post a quest in the Mage Tower?"
"Sorry, you do not have the relevant authority." Butler Miller refused with a smile as always.
Epps' expectant expression began to become distorted. No matter how good his attitude was, he couldn't maintain it now. He was extremely disappointed.
He originally wanted to find a few high-level mages to support the scene by issuing tasks, but he didn't expect to be rejected again!
Epps tried hard to control his emotions and said goodbye, "In this case, I will leave first."
"Lord Savile, please come with me."
Without any reservations, Miller's straightforward attitude made Epps feel very aggrieved.
To leave, you need to borrow the space door of the Mage Tower. Epps is not worried about this. The Mage Tower of Grand Arcanist Brod hardly restricts anyone from visiting or leaving, as long as you pay.
Epps was very dissatisfied with this trip. He couldn't help but imagine that if his grandfather were still alive, would he still be treated like this?
No one could answer his question, and Epps could only go to the teleportation room filled with disappointment.
When they arrived at the teleportation room, Butler Miller was waiting quietly at the door. At this time, Epps finally realized that no matter whether Butler Miller was a puppet or not, he was still a high-level mage on the surface.
To have a high-level mage receive him is a sign of importance in itself. If only an ordinary person was to receive him, he would have no room for objection at all.
With this in mind, Epps temporarily stopped leaving, turned around and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, Butler Miller."
After saying that, he stepped into the teleportation room, activated the teleportation circle and left the white tower.
Outside the teleportation room, Butler Miller, who was watching Epps leave, suddenly had a very routine expression on his face, "Eps Savile? What a lucky guy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression returned to its previous expression, and his whole body disappeared under a white light.
…
Savile Land, Town Hall.
There was quite a stir when the lord returned. After receiving the news, all the heads in the territory rushed to the town hall to wait for the lord's instructions.
The new arcanist Aiboike was teleported to him immediately. Mayor Thain was already waiting in the conference room. After seeing Aiboke, he asked:
"Cecily came back and told me that Niya doesn't even have time to rest recently. What do you think is going on?"
Aiboke, who was asked, had not yet reacted. He was stunned for a moment, and Thain complained again, "I just said to take it slow. Why push Niya out too early now?"
It turned out that this was the case. Eberk almost understood, "Brother Thain, don't be angry. Recently, because of the arcane competition, Niya also came up with a plan! As for letting Niya take over the territory, this is Epps
It’s decided, I don’t know.”
Aberke, Lord Epps, and Mayor Thain grew up together. Although their subsequent developments were different, they have always had a good relationship and understood each other quite well.
If what he told Seannia was because Epps made a decision because he received some kind of revelation when he advanced, even though Sean would eventually agree to the decision, Sean would definitely blame him again.
Therefore, he simply pushed it to Epps. Aberke knew that Thain would not be angry with Epps.
Sure enough, as soon as Aberke mentioned Epps, most of Thain's anger disappeared, and the rest was directed at himself and Aback.
The two chatted for a while and then talked about the upcoming celebration. Ai Burke originally did not want to be so high-profile, but what Lord Epps had decided could only continue.
As for the arcane competition, Aiboike didn't have much interest. It restricted new mages and restricted the range of spells that could be cast, turning the originally romantic and unrestrained arcane competition into a stereotyped performance by a crappy bard.
It’s really a bit disappointing!
But he also understands that the current influence of the territory alone is not enough to hold a true arcane competition. Now he just hopes that the lord will go smoothly, otherwise this arcane competition will probably end in a farce.
.
Not long after, Ke Yan, the military director of the Savile Territory, arrived. Aibok stopped chatting with Thain. After that, everyone who was qualified to participate in the meeting came.
Aibok took a look and realized that no one from the temple had arrived yet, including Lord Epps.
…
Tower of Time, Lord's Study.
Lord Epps, who was about to go to the town hall for a meeting, was blocked in the study by his daughter. Niya placed several pieces of parchment with writing on it in front of Epps.
"Father, I received these from the communication room while you were away!"
Epps took the parchment and turned it over. The expression on his face was surprisingly wonderful. Niya, who noticed this scene, immediately asked: "Father, is this true?"
The information on these pieces of parchment came from Sevington. Archmage Auron gave the Savile Leader a notice that at the beginning of next month, he would take his apprentices to participate in the advancement celebration of Aibok and the subsequent Ouen Festival.
Arts competition.
Along with this notification was sent information about the participating apprentices. It can be said that the quality of these apprentices far exceeds that of the mages in the territory.
This is also the main reason why Niya trains Chateau and Ganal severely.
Looking at his daughter's searching eyes with hidden worries, Lord Epps showed a warm smile on his face, "It's true, but don't worry, I visited Archmage Auron at the Austrian Law Federation before.
We support it!”
Although the real situation is that Epps did not mention any arcane competition to Archmage Aulon, but this notification shows that the princess must be on the safe side.
Maybe in addition to the people brought by Archmage Auron, there will be other people participating!
The only pity is that he did not meet the Grand Arcanist Brod this time. Otherwise, even if he just talked about it at the celebration, it would have added some influence to the Saville Territory.
"Okay Niya, I have to go to a meeting." Epps stood up and left the desk. Before the teleportation, he said again, "Don't forget to eat lunch, I will let Taling supervise you!
"
After saying that, he disappeared.
"Father--" Niya only had time to shout halfway before she was interrupted by Talling's urging--
"Inheritor Niya, Master's instructions - don't forget to eat lunch!"
The second half of the sentence was clearly the voice of Lord Epps. When Niya heard it, she kicked her father's desk, copied the message from Archmage Auron, covered her ears and ran out.
