The communication instrument returned to calm, and Aquilaine was the only one left in the room with his head bowed in silence. The Lord's words, "You disappoint me so much," kept echoing in his mind, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
I don’t know how much time passed before Aquilaine raised his head from the darkness. At this moment, there was no hesitation in his eyes.
The lord's words are correct, but for talented arcanists, the time wasted in obtaining divine grace is simply not worth their original progress.
But he is not wrong, it is just different choices made by different people. Although it takes a long time to obtain divine grace, compared to him who has almost no room for improvement, this time is nothing!
And in Aquilaine's heart, there was a vague idea that was not so glorious. He felt that the Lord must be hiding something from him——
Otherwise, why was he younger when he advanced to the arcanist level, and why was it the lord who finally approached the great arcanist?
The two of them are actually about the same age, just because every generation of the lord's line has spellcasters, and he just comes from an ordinary family.
The difference in life span leads to the difference in seniority between the two.
Rather than admitting his own shortcomings, Aquilaine was more willing to find an excuse for the lord to surpass him.
But now, the lord's words "You disappoint me so much" really hurt his sensitive heart. At this moment, he, who had always obeyed orders, had different thoughts for the first time.
Thinking of the news sent by the mysterious Master Gass before, it was said that the Tower of Time was not complete at all and was now seriously damaged.
This once again strengthened his idea. Of course, it was impossible for him to produce arcane crystals, not even a few gold coins.
Originally, he was thinking of using Axel's death and the threat of the Hawk Territory to force the other party to open the Mysterious Ruins, but now that he knew that the Tower of Time was seriously damaged, he didn't even need to find an excuse.
Just go there!
He didn't believe that the other party really dared to do anything to him!
As for whether the news that the Tower of Time was seriously damaged is accurate, Aquilaine feels that since Master Gass wants to discuss cooperation, this most basic news should be correct.
Of course, even if he was wrong, he didn't care. He was full of confidence in the Hawk collar behind him.
The only thing that worried him was from the Hawk Territory. He was worried that if he did this, the lord would come directly to catch him.
This was the first time he had violated the Lord's order, and Aquilaine was still a little uneasy.
However, now that a decision has been made, it must be implemented to the end! Aquilaine subconsciously drew a blue and white star holy symbol on his chest, using the name of the Lord of Mysteries to strengthen his will.
…
Time goes back to a few hours ago, just after Aquilaine's consciousness induction field left and shortly after Master Garth killed his men.
In a private house in the southern district of Savile Town, Master Gass was reading books to kill time, as if he suddenly felt something. He suddenly waved away the rest of his men, closed the door, took off the communication device from his waist, and placed it respectfully on the table.
superior.
Then he knelt motionless in front of the table. For a moment, the communication device buzzed, and a projection appeared above the communication device.
At the same time, a majestic voice came out, "Garth, how are things going?"
Master Gas did not dare to raise his head, he just lay on the ground and said with some fear: "Great master, the other party did not agree to directly attack the Tower of Time, but his subordinates have already passed on the news of the damage to the Tower of Time. I must have
There will be results soon."
"Very good. But we can't relax in other aspects. I got the news that their lord will not go back. Disintegrate the rule of the Tower of Time as soon as possible. The empire has long fallen. In the future, I will establish my own country there. Everything is only arcane."
Supreme!"
"As you command, great master, only arcane magic is supreme."
No sound came from the communication device on the table anymore, but Master Gas still knelt on the ground respectfully and did not get up for a long time.
…
Three days later, Xia Duo once again perfunctorily walked away from Master Depak. He fell down on the bed tiredly and looked at the ceiling, wondering where his mind was going.
The day before yesterday, the topaz and peridot materials in the Tower of Time were exhausted. Although some were later collected from the Saville Territory, it was of no avail.
The gap is a bit big!
So Master Depak came over again and again to ask him when Niya would come back, but how would I know when Niya would come back?
Xia Duo was also a little annoyed. He had promised to return in two or three days, but now if we include the day of departure, today is already the sixth day.
Niya hasn’t come back yet!
At this moment, Xia Duo looked like a husband who was worried that his wife had not returned, but he was even more worried about the consequences of Niya not coming back.
In the past two days, due to the lack of repair materials, many repair works have been suspended. Xia Duo has nothing to do about this. He can't force others to do it without materials, or take their own materials from their pockets.
In addition, the most important thing is the impact on people's hearts. Sha Duo didn't know what Niya said to the mages when she left, but he could still clearly feel the fluctuations in people's hearts in the past two days.
Xia Duo lay on the bed, spread his hands to both sides, and sighed in a low voice, "If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team!"
I don’t know how much time passed, but when Xia Duo was about to fall asleep, the voice of the tower spirit suddenly sounded——
"Master Xia Duo, Master Aibo would like to invite you to the conference room 1 on the public floor for a meeting."
Huh? Albock is back?
Xia Duo jumped out of bed with excitement. Aibo came back, which meant that Niya was back too, but he soon realized something was wrong.
Before today, he had never experienced anyone other than Lord Epps and Niya using the tower spirit to notify him!
Although Xia Duo didn't have many contacts with other mages, from his point of view, the level 4 authority was not low, but he still could not order the tower spirit to contact other people.
If you want to contact other people, you can only send a message yourself.
As for Ai Burke's authority in the Tower of Time, Sha Duo was a little hesitant, but anyway, let's go over and take a look first to see what happened? Why didn't you come back until now?
…
Public floor, conference room No. 1.
At this moment, many mages who were originally on the public floor had arrived first, but they looked at the empty main seat and their companions with the same confused expressions, and they were even more confused.
"What's going on? I received news that it was summoned by Master Aibo."
"Me too, this has never happened before."
…
Several people quietly discussed various possibilities regarding today's announcement and this meeting.
After a while, there were more and more people, and some mages who were familiar with each other had sat together, forming small circles, and started talking with magic.
And in the magic conversation, they talked about it on a larger scale, "Is there something wrong with the Tower of Time again?"
"Why did you say 'again'?"
"Who knows? Maybe the tower master has something important to announce!"
"I hope so, I don't want to change places and start from scratch again!"
