Xia Duo introduced his ideas to Niya simply and clearly, and Niya's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
Although as a mage, Niya has long been accustomed to staying inside buildings such as the Mage Tower, but even the buildings of the floating city are inside a larger spherical shell. To say that it is completely acceptable is a bit deceiving.
But now Xia Duo gave her a brand new choice. Niya was so excited that she couldn't control herself. "You mean, in the future, we can live on the surface of the floating city instead of inside?"
"It doesn't have to be superficial, it can be any form you can think of." Xia Duo said confidently.
He is quite sure of this. As long as space can be manipulated, the floating city's manifestations can naturally change in ever-changing ways, but its essence is always unique.
"Then is it okay if I want it to turn into a ship?"
"Of course, if you really want that!"
"Well--"
Now Niya was hesitant. The floating city was obviously a strategic facility of extraordinary significance. It would be too frivolous to turn it into just a ship.
Thinking of this, Niya suddenly felt that Xia Duo's original design was just right. The sphere was simple and elegant, which coincided with the shape of the celestial body, with cities and buildings hidden inside, and revealed a hint of mystery.
The most important thing is that this design is consistent in all directions, without any defensive blind spots or psychological blind spots. Thinking of this, Niya seemed to realize something, her eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at Xia Duo, and asked:
"By the way, is your floating city designed after the spaceship in your hometown?"
"I didn't expect you to see through it!" Xia Duoban joked and told the truth.
"Really?" Niya was a little surprised, but also felt that it should be the case, and then said, "Then I think it's better not to change it."
When she was learning Chinese with Xia Duo before, she had heard Xia Duo mention the many settings of the spaceship - an important tool created by humans to explore and conquer nature.
For Niya, the form of the floating city can only slightly affect her mood when looking at the scenery, but she doesn't think there is much difference between what she sees with her own eyes and what she sees through magic.
When she heard the design inspiration for the floating city, she felt that she should respect Xia Duo's longing for his hometown and his romantic pursuit of truth in different cultural backgrounds.
"It's better not to change it!"
Niya mentioned it again, this time she said it seriously, not as full of ridicule as when she just said she wanted a boat. In response, Xia Duo shook his head and explained:
"The essence of the floating city is already here. The new form of expression formed through space transformation does not affect its essence. Moreover, I also think that the sphere is a bit too closed. It is good to change the style occasionally, what do you think?"
"Well, then I'll listen to you!"
Niya understood what Xia Duo meant, but was even more moved by Xia Duo's respect for her. At this moment, Niya was once again glad that she chose Xia Duo among the somewhat hasty marriage choices.
"By the way, Xia Duo, the matter of the child——"
"Why are you talking about the child again? Didn't I say give me some more time?"
When this topic was mentioned, Xia Duo suddenly became confused. As a native of his hometown, since he has decided to settle down and work hard here, of course he wants his bloodline to spread in this world, but——
Maybe it's because of reproductive isolation in different universes, or some other unreasonable reasons. In short, Xia Duo and Niya have been married for several years and have never been able to have a child of their own.
For this reason, Xia Duo once searched for the elf's pregnancy spell, found it, and completed the spell, but the effect cannot be said to be at all, at least the effects other than pregnancy are very significant, but the pregnancy was missed!
In addition to looking for "home remedies", Xia Duo is also groping for bloodline research on his own. However, his research in this area is very limited, and it is not suitable to talk about it, which makes him want to learn from Jilan. It is difficult to get Buddhist scriptures from the pagoda.
The final result is naturally very unsatisfactory.
However, although Xia Duo is from his hometown, he is also a modern person. He wants to have heirs, but it is not necessary. Especially when he has initially achieved immortality, the idea of passing on heirs has diminished again.
Unlike Sha Duo, Niya was very persistent about this. Especially in the days after Savile returned, Niya would bring up the child's issue again almost every few days.
In her words, although her great-grandfather would not ask for territory, he would not sit back and watch the territory bearing his name disappear easily, and Niya had never considered merging the Daxia Territory into the Saville Territory.
Then, only if she and Xia Duo's child is born, can the two territories be legitimately integrated in the name of the sole heir.
This time Niya mentioned the child again, Xia Duo still felt dizzy. He could almost imagine what Niya was going to say next——
"I went to see my great-grandfather a few days ago, and he also asked about the child. His words seemed to be full of expectations. If it continues, I'm worried that my great-grandfather may have other plans for the territory."
"No, don't worry!"
Xia Duo has said this repeatedly several times. Savile may really want to see a blood cub appear, but it is more likely that the other party wants to use this to consolidate his alliance with him.
Xia Duo doesn't really care about territory now. The floating city can be used as a natural territory. The most important thing is people.
But now the population of the Bactria Territory has exceeded that of the Savile Territory. Even if the Savile Territory is returned to Savile Territory, it can only be said to be a loss for all the people in the Savile Territory, and it is also a loss for Savile Territory.
Because this means that the other party has given up on itself as an ally.
…
After finally comforting Niya, Shado was about to leave for Severton again. Going there would not only facilitate him to learn the latest information about Slvend in a timely manner, but also facilitate him to go to Slvend at any time - entering the country through formal channels. .
In addition, I went to Severton to complete the deal with the Seven Towers regarding the red plane. If the time is right, I might be able to watch another god-ascension ceremony.
…
Severton, Azure Manor.
Ava, who was sorting out information in the intelligence room, suddenly stood up, tidied up the desktop, and then quickly went out and came to the woods outside the manor.
A mirror-like teleportation gate with no ripples at all stands in the middle of the woods. There are heavily armed guards nearby who are always on guard. There are also two mages from the Arcane Federation temporarily staying in the bookstore next to it, ready to support at any time.
.
As soon as Ava came over, he stopped the ongoing two-way transmission, cleared away the irrelevant people, and then stood alone in front of the transmission gate, waiting silently.
Almost a few minutes later, a figure walked out of the portal. Upon seeing this, Ava immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Sir!"
"No need to be polite."
Xia Duo nodded, but didn't stop walking, "Let's check the information first. I won't stay here for long this time. You'd better let them continue on the portal side! Winter is coming soon, as long as you can get through as many as possible.
