Ta Ling's voice was mechanical and hollow, reaching Sha Duo's ears very clearly, but for some reason, the voice seemed to be more lively now.
Arcane Garden? Keep doing what you are doing? Sha Duo suddenly laughed. It would be interesting if Niya really asked him to farm in the Arcane Garden.
Carrying the pioneer scepter, Xia Duo took two steps outside, then turned back and said: "I'm leaving."
Niya leaned to the side and said nothing.
When Xia Duo saw this, he didn't care and left directly.
…
When you arrive at the Arcane Garden, the first thing you see is a dilapidated scene. The warehouses not far from the entrance have all collapsed.
Farther away, the originally lush plain wheat fields seemed to have been rolled over by some giant beast. There was almost no green on the ground, and it was all upturned gray-brown soil.
The winding river that ran through the entire Arcane Garden has completely disappeared at this moment. The only thing that seems unchanged is the hills in the corner.
Looking at it from a distance, it is not difficult to see that the fruit trees there still maintain their former appearance.
At this time, Ta Ling’s mission reminder came as promised——
"Mage Xia Duo, the master of the tower has appointed you as the director of the Arcane Garden, responsible for organizing the Arcane Garden and resuming production as soon as possible!"
"director?"
Looking at the dilapidated scene of the Arcane Garden, Xia Duo kept complaining in his heart, he must be a polished commander!
However, after complaining, Xia Duo still asked Taling about the situation of his subordinates, "How many people have been assigned to me? Also, can I choose a few people by myself?"
Ta Ling replied: "There are 50 people belonging to Arcane Garden. We have been notified and are on their way here. You can also summon two more people."
"Are apprentices Dean, Sammy, and Devine on the list of 50 people?" Shado asked.
Organizing the Arcane Garden is not a difficult job, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If Dean and the others are there, he will be much less worried.
If he were lazy, he would be like the previous supervisor who didn't care about anything. However, now that Shado has regarded the Tower of Time as his own home, he is still quite concerned about organizing the Arcane Garden.
"No, these 50 people are ordinary apprentices. The formal apprentices have other tasks. You only have two recruitment quotas."
Ta Ling gave a rare and considerate explanation. Xia Duo almost didn't hesitate at all and decided to call Dean and Sami over. After all, these two people were the ones he was most familiar with.
As for Devine, ever since he inexplicably became a believer in the Lord of Radiance, Shado has had some estrangement towards him. Although it is not a serious prejudice, it still feels a bit awkward.
Like Leiden, who was a believer of the Lord of Glory from the beginning, Sha Duo didn't feel awkward at all. Maybe it was just the sudden change of people around him that made him uncomfortable.
This reminded Xia Duo of a classmate in his college class who joined some kind of fellowship for no apparent reason. He was very nervous all day long, and then everyone unconsciously alienated him.
The sudden change will make people feel strange, and coupled with the time spent in the projection plane, Shado's impression of Dwayne has always remained the same feeling of alienation from more than a year ago.
With only two spots available, he will not be selected for the time being.
"Call apprentice Dean, Sammy over here! Let the others hurry up too!"
After saying that, Xia Duo directly used [Flying Technique] and flew towards the sky.
…
The Arcane Garden can be said to be the only "outdoor scene" in the Tower of Time. The results of Sha Duo's hard work all night yesterday are finally reflected!
After casting [Flying Technique], Xia Duo felt that his body became much lighter, as if he were a feather that could fly when the wind blew.
But this is actually an illusion. The real situation is - magic makes his body more "free" and can be driven by his consciousness at will, so that he can fly out of all kinds of incredible trajectories with just a thought.
It gives people the feeling that as big as the heart is, the stage is as big as it is.
However, the Arcane Garden is not really outdoors after all. Even if you stay on the ground, you can see the boundary of the Arcane Garden at a glance. When you fly to the sky, it feels even narrower.
Xia Duo flew from one end to the other, huffing and flying from one end to the other. What else can be compared to flying freely!
There was no naturally flowing wind in the Arcane Garden, and the sunlight was extremely strong, but while flying at high speed, he experienced a different feeling of coolness.
After flying around, Xia Duo saw seven or eight apprentices coming to the entrance, and there were still apprentices coming out of the elevator.
Now Xia Duo has understood why the Tower of Time only has two elevator systems. The reason is that each batch of passengers is in a different space.
For example, right now, people are constantly coming out of the elevators. Obviously they are not from the same batch. It can only be said that there are multiple elevators in the same elevator system at the same time.
Just like there are multiple cars in an elevator on Earth at the same time.
Xia Duo doesn't understand the principle yet, but he believes that he will be able to figure it out sooner or later. After all, this is his own mage tower!
[Flying Technique] still lasted a little longer, so Xia Duo flew straight into the sky. He had always been curious, since the Arcane Garden was in the Mage Tower, how could it have the sky and the sun?
Is this sky and the sun real?
Now, he can finally verify it for himself!
"Um?"
As he kept flying, Xia Duo suddenly discovered that the ground was no longer getting smaller. At first he thought he had just seen it wrong, but he kept flying and kept flying, and the ground never got smaller.
It's as if the distance between him and the ground remains the same!
Xia Duo adjusted the flight direction to downward, and he immediately discovered something was abnormal. In order to verify his idea, he kept flying up and down, and kept testing.
"Is it a magic that is so close to the end of the world? Or has it really reached the limit of space and been blocked?" Seeing that the duration of the [Flying Technique] was running out, Xia Duo landed again and thought about it.
The highest point that can be reached here is only a few hundred meters high. Although you can still fly higher, the space above seems to have been cast a spell similar to the world at hand, and you will never be able to rise even one meter higher!
But this effect only limits the ascent. It does not mean that if you fly upward for a while, you have to go through it again if you want to come down, but the descent has no effect at all.
"It seems that this arcane garden is not just an expanded space for farming! Eh——"
Xia Duo suddenly thought of something. After falling from the sky, he stood there and didn't understand, and even closed his eyes.
Although the portable space exists in Xia Duo's consciousness, it is everywhere where his consciousness goes, but if he wants to move the items in the space, he still has to concentrate and stay focused.
At this moment, Xia Duo is "pushing" the [Blade of Veto] in the portable space to fly towards the edge of the space. Before, Xia Duo just used the portable space as an empty box where you can take and place items at will, but now he has a new one.
