Although Xia Duo was happy to gain Ava's followers, the changes in his plans that followed also gave him a headache.
The original plan was that he would just drop by here, and then inform the people of the territory to set off to the territory tomorrow to continue to develop, but now that there is an extra Ava, he definitely can't just send it to the territory.
He must now return to the Tower of Time as soon as possible to discuss with Niya how this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, so he ordered Leiden:
"Priest Leiden, Lord Niya promised to give me a group of people, and I will send them to the warehouse. You must pay attention to receiving them and organize a working group for them!"
"Yes, sir!"
"That's it for now. I think the craftsman training in the warehouse just now was very good. We can find more craftsmen. The focus is on those who can be used in territory development. You and Steward Arman can talk more about this."
"yes!"
After giving orders to Leiden, Chateau asked Ava to stay in the warehouse temporarily, waiting for his orders, and then left the port.
Town Hall.
This was not the first time that Xia Duo came here, but this time he received special treatment. After discussing with Mayor Thain, he finally determined the number of support personnel.
There are 200 households in total, and their status will be transferred directly to Daxia Ling instead of being temporarily transferred there.
This made Xia Duo's territory suddenly fuller. He couldn't help but sigh that he had racked his brains to recruit people, but Niya solved it for him with just one sentence.
It is not easy to take too big steps in the early stages. With 200 households, we can already maintain a relatively stable and self-sufficient territory.
And this is exactly the first step that pioneers need to take.
It's finally going to be done by him!
"Mayor Thain, I will trouble you later. Send those people to the warehouse of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce in the port, and the Leiden Priests will be responsible for receiving them."
"good."
Mayor Thain's mood was not high, but Shado could roughly guess that Niya had given him the people of the Saville Territory. Even though he was Niya's husband, Niya's men also
He is not a stupid person and has no ideas at all.
…
Returning to the Tower of Time, Shado immediately contacted Niya, but the other party was always in a "no answer" state, and he did not have the authority to force the call. He was a little anxious and ran directly to the top floor.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Aiboke walking towards him with a strange mage. Sha Duo thought that this was probably another arcanist who wanted to gain divine favor and came here to repair the magic network.
After a slight nod of greeting, Sha Duo came to Niya's study. At this moment, Niya was standing in front of the window, looking at the real-time projection on the window in a trance. It seemed that she didn't even notice the footsteps when he came in.
"Niya?" Sha Duo called softly.
Niya turned around, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, but compared to yesterday, her complexion was much better, at least the bloodshot eyes were gone.
"What's the matter?" Niya's voice was still a little hoarse, but a little calmer than before.
Sha Duo took two steps closer, stared at the young mage in front of him who had become his wife, and said the words he had carefully considered when he came out, "The person who killed Asel has become my follower!"
When Axel heard this familiar name, Niya's eyes gradually became sharp. She stared closely at Sha Duo's eyes, and Sha Duo also stared at her without giving in.
In fact, Sha Duo did this to test Niya's attitude towards him. Although he thought he knew Niya's temperament relatively well, the mystery lock incident was always a thread between the two.
Xia Duo believed that he had done nothing wrong in this matter, but once it involved his relatives, it was easy to ignore it.
Changing places, to be fair, if your father died because of someone's news, you would be angry, dissatisfied, and vent. This cannot be smoothed out by some sacred contract.
Sometimes such a picture flashed through Sha Duo's mind - when he woke up, Niya stood in front of his bed, holding a bloody knife in her hand.
Thinking about this kind of scene makes me feel terrible.
In this way, some testing that does not involve the bottom line is necessary.
"You-" Niya paused, looking at Xia Duo's eyes flickering a little, and sighed, "You did it too recklessly this time!"
If you don’t say no, then it’s okay?
Xia Duo immediately answered, and his tone became gentler, "It happened too suddenly. I happened to see him when I went to the port to inspect the people. During the orc wave last year, he was my companion and saved the world.
He passed me, and now I have no choice but to save him."
Each of these sentences is true, but some weighing processes are omitted, but this further highlights that Xia Duo is an emotional person.
Maybe other mages would sneer at this, but Niya would definitely accept it.
Besides, Axel was the culprit who caused his grandfather's death. Now he has been killed. Not to mention offering shelter, the murderer cannot be easily found!
"What you did this time was really too reckless!" Niya repeated it again, and then gave her true attitude, "Go and bring people to the Tower of Time!"
Sha Duo did not dare to delay, so he immediately returned to Savile Town and brought in the disguised Ava.
And when he came to Niya's study again, Aibo was also there. Sha Duo happened to hear Niya say, "Uncle Aibo, I'll trouble you this time!"
When Xia Duo looked at Ai Burke, Ai Bike also looked at him, "Where is that person?"
"You're outside, do you need to be called in?"
"No, come to my place!"
Xia Duo had no objection. In order to solve future problems, the person in charge must have the final say.
…
When they arrived at Aibo's private research room, Niya did not follow. Xia Duo stayed alone in the reception room and waited, while Aibo took Ava into the inner room.
While waiting, Sha Duo looked around in the reception room. Unlike other mages, Aibok's place was full of blue and white decorations, and even the walls had various complex blue and white patterns.
It gives people a feeling of being in a mystery.
On the ceiling of the reception room, a huge blue and white star pattern was right in the center. When Xia Duo looked at it, it seemed as if it was looking at him too!
Xia Duo quickly lowered his head and stopped looking around.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xia Duo suddenly heard footsteps. He quickly put away his notes and saw Aibo and Ava walking out.
Aibo walked in front carrying a staff, while Aiwa walked behind holding a half-foot-long piece of wood with thick arms and silver veins.
"The matter has been taken care of. Let your followers throw the wood into the Wolfburg River when they go back, and don't show up in the near future!" Aiboike said.
"Um."
Sha Duo then prepared to take Ava back to Savile Town. The moment he walked out of the room, he received a spell message from Ai Bok, "Have time to talk to Niya more. This child needs care the most right now.
"
Xia Duo paused, turned around, nodded, and then left.
