————This chapter will not be updated today. I will finish it at home during the holiday tomorrow. I just want to sort out the outline. It has been a bit messy recently.

Evening, Codex Square.
Three or four children with cunning eyes desperately dragged their mothers and ran towards the blue portal on the south side of the square. Several mature-looking men walked behind, showing helpless expressions on their faces.
"Lord, what do you mean by this?" one of them asked quietly.
"Isn't this good?" another asked.
"That's good, but -" The man who first raised the topic frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything.
At this time, the third person intervened, "You must have seen those code preachers, right? To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, just because the master's side was suspending more and more projects, and Lord Xia Duo
I just came here as a student of the master, but you have also seen the situation here. According to me, don’t think too much, maybe the lord just wants to simply hold a welcome dinner for us?"
"But why are we inviting them to the dinner party?" The one who spoke first pointed to the women and children who had entered the portal halfway in front, showing a puzzled look.
"I told you not to think too much, just take it as it comes. Now that you have decided to join the Tower of Time and become a naturalized member of the Great Xia Kingdom, the days ahead will be long! Let’s get to know each other slowly!"
After this person finished the interrogation, he shouted "Lily, wait for me" and then quickened his pace and ran forward. The two people who stayed behind paused and quickly followed.
…
Chang'an City, Hengchun Plaza.
The floating city can freely jump directions in the sky, but Xia Duo still determined the direction for the interior. Now at the northwest corner of Hengchun Square, the Tower of Time has descended from the research area, and the door is open waiting for the guests at tonight's dinner.
Speaking of which, the Tower of Time has only been moved three times since it was built, including today's time, and the previous two times. Once, Niya's father Epps teleported it to the Mysterious Ruins.
After that, he stayed there for several years. It was not until Xia Duo's floating city was completed that he moved to the floating city research area. This is the third time.
At this moment, Xia Duo and Niya were in the study room on the top floor of the Tower of Time, sitting side by side facing the projection window in front. What was displayed on the projection window was the scene of Hengchun Plaza and the children's amusement park a block away.
After Sha Duo came back from the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance, he built a simple amusement park on the floating city. Although there were not many magic facilities, most of the entertainment facilities common in communities on earth were complete.
Such as slides, climbing ropes, turntables, seesaws, rocking cars, space walks, etc.
The family members of the high-level mages who had just come from Linshui Village walked around Hengchun Square and then mostly followed the flow of people to the children's amusement park nearby.
Many territorial children come to play there almost every day. In addition to the amusement park, there are also some abandoned steam locomotives parked there. Occasionally, the Master of the Tower of Time comes out to try out the locomotives, and the children have the opportunity to experience locomotive racing.
a feeling of.
Although this is far from the steam locomotive racing that Xia Duo envisioned, for children, this kind of big toy that can move and make noise is not to mention how fun it is!
Now the family members of those high-level mages are drifting by. Although there are not many children, there is no barrier between the children. The few children who are there soon get into a fight with the children from the territory.
Currently, there are not many people in the territory who do not have to work, so the only people surrounding the children are the family members of high-ranking mages who were invited to the dinner.
Since these people are not sure about the details of the children in the floating city, they will naturally not cause unnecessary misunderstandings because of some bad habits in the mainland.
It is also said that there are new mages who have received the Tower of Time mission and are here to take care of it. However, if there is no abnormal situation, they will not come forward and let these children play by themselves.
Those who came to try out the steam locomotive were purely out of personal interest and came with missions. Public and private affairs were clearly separated in the Tower of Time.
…
In front of the projection window.
Xia Duo and Niya watched leisurely for a while, and then devoted themselves to the design of the casting ceremony for the new city construction again. At present, the first phase of the casting ceremony for the new city construction has been mostly completed, and there is only a little finishing work left.
The reason why it took so long is because it was the first time that the ritual spell was designed for backward compatibility, and it was also the first time that standards for backward compatibility design were formed.
The "template" from this time can be directly applied to the next two and three periods. Even the training of spell casters does not need to be carried out for the second time. The third time, after this training is completed, it can be used in the future.
However, if the interval is too long, you may need to retrain.
"Meow meow~"
Xia Duo suddenly felt a furry little thing rubbing against him at his feet. He couldn't help but smile knowingly and hugged the dark little guy at his feet. But before he could stroke him a few times, the little guy struggled again.
Jumped down.
These are the cats he brought back from Yimaska. There are about a hundred of them in total. Most of them are kept in the territory and raised. The remaining half are young and good-looking and are kept free in the Tower of Time and the Floating City.
inside.
Sometimes when Xia Duo gets interested, he will pick one up and pet it, not caring which one is which. Niya is a little different. She prefers to pet a thin orange cat and stays by her side almost every chance she gets.
Right now, the little orange cat is still lying quietly on Niya's lap, unlike the little black cat that Xia Duo just picked up, which is too naughty and can't stay.
But he has magic, and the little black cat that just ran away quickly flew to his lap on four legs. He has played this game more than once.
This time the little black cat was quiet for a while before leaving. After that, Xia Duo fed a small dried fish and left it alone.
For raising pets, this feeling is very good, not too close, but not alienated. If you invest too much emotion, it is actually not a good thing. Generally speaking, no one can live long with pets, let alone someone like Xia Duo.
of immortals.
Raising a giant dragon is quite interesting, but the dragon is an intelligent creature, and there is a Dragon Madness Mystery Lock on the main plane, which brings a lot of troubles, which makes it impossible for Sha Duo to get close to him.
Speaking of which, the most suitable pet for him should be an elemental creature, wind element or water element, which exactly matches the elemental tendency of his bloodline.
Weak elemental creatures generally have no intelligence, but the nature of elements makes their lifespan very long. As long as nothing unexpected happens, immortality and even immortality are possible.
"Perhaps we can consider conducting experiments on arcane cats." Such thoughts flashed through Sha Duo's mind.
Previously in [Projection Plane·Evriska Independence], he had conducted experiments on Arcane Rabbits, and in the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance, there was even more trustworthy data on Arcane Elves.
But there are two problems here. One is an ethical issue. Unlike hares, which have no emotional sustenance at all, cats are pets after all, at least for Xia Duo. Before the transformation of the arcane cat is completed, there is no telling how many
The innocent kitten died.
Another issue is much more realistic. The Red Heart Alliance has never considered the issue of whether transforming into an arcane form can extend life.
