And just after Egbod Arcanist contacted him, the tower spirit approached Sha Duo again. This sudden mechanical sound made Sha Duo's just-started round of focused training fail on the spot.
"Acting Xia Duo, the master has returned. Please come to the study to meet me!"
Niya is back? Xia Duo is counting the days. It has been almost half a month since Niya left for Severington. However, Niya has not mentioned when she will come back before. This sudden return caught people off guard.
I don’t know how Niya reacted to what he did during this period.
However, Niya's return will not actually have much impact on Xia Duo. He will continue to do what he should do; what he cannot do will not suddenly become possible when Niya comes back.
Just when he was thinking about what Niya wanted to do with him, Ta Ling urged him again, which made Xia Duo a little annoyed, so he casually sent a message over.
Then he came to Leiden and explained the arrangements after his departure, especially if he could not come back in two or three days, then Leiden would need to contact the Egberd Arcanist to coordinate the cleaning project of the elemental passage.
Even arcanists cannot ignore the clergy of the Lord of Radiance.
Afterwards, Xia Duocai contacted the tower spirit and guided the teleportation back to the Tower of Time.
…
Tower of Time, Niya's Study Room.
When Xia Duo arrived at the door, he happened to hear Niya saying that the repair work on the Tower of Time could be slowed down. He was a little confused, but now was not the time to ask. Aibo and Cecily were also there. The three of them seemed to be working on it before.
What are you discussing?
When he entered the study, Niya's eyes followed him, "Xia Duo, I'm sorry to find you in such a hurry, but I don't have much time. Please sit down first and let me say a few things."
There was not much time, so what was going on? With confusion, Xia Duo found a place to sit down, and then waited for Niya's explanation.
"The first thing is that I have advanced to the level of Arcanist and have officially become the student of Her Royal Highness the Princess." At this point, Niya glanced at Xia Duo with a meaningful look in her eyes, and then continued.
Xia Duo was a little confused by this sight, and continued to listen. It turned out that Niya's stay in Severton was not a period of study, but a plane exploration.
The advanced arcanist was also the convenience provided by Her Royal Highness the Princess before this. Hearing this, Xia Duo was filled with envy. Speaking of it, the identity of the pioneer should be closer to the princess than Niya.
But unexpectedly, Niya had already taken a step ahead of him and hugged Her Highness the Princess's thigh tightly.
well--
Destiny is such a magical thing!
But fortunately, he and Niya are now considered to be one body. The thigh that Niya hugs is equivalent to the thigh that he hugs. Xia Duo can only comfort himself like this. He is really envious.
Now, he is not even an arcanist, and he can't say anything about not hugging other people's thighs to make himself their thigh.
Once again lamenting the mystery of fate, Niya has already started to talk about the second thing.
"The second thing is that I still have to go to Sevington for a while, and the teacher has arranged a lot of classes for me. During this period - Shado, you will still be my representative, Uncle Aibo, Cecily, you guys
Assist Xia Duo."
Shado nodded, Aibo and Cecily agreed at the same time, and then Niya talked about the third thing without stopping.
This incident made Xia Duo stand up from his seat and said in surprise: "What?! Really? Does the Tower of Time really have a plane exploration array?"
This was really beyond his expectation. He still remembers his last trip to the projection plane. This was just a virtual and not a real projection plane. It could only bring knowledge and experience.
But if it is a real sub-plane, it represents real resources and real living space.
Even if you don't understand the real situation of Netheril, it's like interstellar exploration on Earth. Once a habitable planet is discovered and can be easily reached, what benefits will it be!
Sha Duo had never heard of a plane exploration circle in the Tower of Time before, so why did it suddenly appear?
Is it because I didn’t have a backer before and didn’t dare to show it off? Or is it the convenience given by Niya’s thigh teacher?
Not only Sha Duo, but also Ai Bok was shocked. He could indeed explore the plane through the Arcane Federation's exploration circle, but it cost a lot each time, and it was only limited to the projection plane. If it was true,
The price is almost like selling one's life.
If the Tower of Time had a plane exploration array, it might be possible to explore the planes at a lower cost.
For arcanists, plane exploration can not only harvest resources, but also use the different environments of different planes to conduct magic research. It is undoubtedly a great temptation for them who want to delve deeper into the nature of the magic network.
"Niya, is this true?" Aibo asked excitedly, his voice trembling. "Niya, is this true?"
"It's true, the Tower of Time does have a plane exploration array." Niya's tone was a little sad, and when she thought of her father who was in a sealed state due to plane crystallization, sadness filled her heart.
The reason why the plane exploration circle is made public is actually because the teacher already knows it. As long as it is not widely publicized, it is nothing if it is made public in a small area.
"Uncle Aberke, Cecily, please go out first. I have something to say to Shado."
Aberke suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at each other with Cecily, and retreated.
…
After the two left, Niya got up from the desk and came to the window. The projection was also started in time, but this time it was not a real-time projection of the outside world, but a simulation of the environment outside the Tower of Past Time.
There were even sounds, cheers and shouts, which seemed to be from some celebration in Savile Town in previous years. Niya stared blankly at the lively scene outside the window. At this moment, she was not as urgent as before.
Xia Duo also took a few steps closer. He didn't believe that Niya left him alone just to whisper something about herself, but it was rare for a powerful arcanist to show such a weak side in front of him, and he didn't want to directly
The question spoiled the atmosphere, but he comforted her softly:
"Miss Lord Epps?"
"Well, the teacher said she couldn't save my father. I know she was trying to motivate me, but seeing that -" Niya didn't say the next words, but Sha Duo already understood.
After all, she is still a little girl in her early twenties!
Xia Duo said nothing more, just stepped forward and looked out the window with her. After a long time, Niya turned off the projection and became a calm spell caster again.
"The Tower of Time still has all the functions, but the energy is insufficient. Even if it is completely restored, it cannot change this. There is no need to schedule the restoration plan so tightly. However, I still agree with the new financial resources, but there is no need to force it, time will
is the key."
"I know!" Xia Duo nodded and responded.
In fact, the repair schedule he arranged was already very loose, but he didn't expect that Niya thought it should be more loose. However, this also confirmed some of his thoughts after capturing Aquilaine.
That is, the Tower of Time was not as seriously damaged as he had imagined before, and the situation was not that critical. If it were to be critical, it should be an energy crisis.
