Cecily frowned, remembering the man who had no sense of existence in her impression. When she heard Sha Duo mention it again, she couldn't help but think of another bad thing, "Sir, what happened to Master Sandur?"
"Nothing, I just made an appointment with him yesterday to meet today, but there was no reply." Cecily looked strange, so she asked the previous question again, and at the same time added, "At the group meeting tomorrow
,Will he object to my plan?"
This time Cecily was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking seriously or organizing her words, "Sir, I have very little contact with Master Sandur, but there is something I can tell you for your reference."
"What's up?"
"You should be familiar with the orc war two years ago. At that time, Niya was also asked by the old lord to participate in the battle, and it was also on the most cruel frontal battlefield. She was used to slow down the orcs and facilitate the old lord to lead people to sneak attacks."
Huh? Shado was a little surprised, not because of Lord Epps's sneak attack on the orcs' lair, which he had known for a long time, but because Niya also participated in the battle, and it was a frontal battlefield.
He had never heard Nia mention it before. If he hadn't heard Cecily mention it today, he didn't know when he would know about it.
At this moment, Cecily's words continued, "At that time, Master Sandur, as a mid-level mage, was also asked to participate in the battle. However, when the battle on the front battlefield was at its most intense and critical, everyone
He was desperately trying to escape!
"Fortunately, Niya shocked him on the spot. Otherwise, if he ran away like this, other mages might follow suit. Then, those ordinary soldiers who directly use their flesh and blood to fight the orcs would definitely have a huge drop in morale and collapse on the frontal battlefield.
It’s not impossible.”
At the end of the sentence, Cecily's breathing became a little short, and her face became very ugly. Now that this incident has happened almost two years ago, one can imagine the dissatisfaction in her heart.
As Xia Duo listened to Cecily's narration, he gradually sketched out the image of a deserter in his mind. He knew that formal mages had special soldiers to protect them when they went to the battlefield, and all they needed to do was to take action at critical moments, using
The spell restores the disadvantage within a certain range.
In fact, as long as ordinary soldiers fighting directly do not collapse, it is difficult for mages to be harmed. Sandur's fear of being like this is obviously beyond Sha Duo's expectation. He couldn't help but ask another question:
"Is Sandur a Savile leader?"
This issue is very critical. Most of the official mages of the Tower of Time are locals of Savile Territory, and only a few are from outside. If Sandur is a local of Savile Territory, his escape will be even more unbearable.
Chateau's question made Cecily even more angry, "He was the Saville leader, and his family was in the town at the time. No, to be more precise, he sent his mistress and illegitimate child to the time."
It’s coming from the tower.”
"..."
Xia Duo had nothing to say.
At this time, Cecily added, "Afterwards, Master Sandur was not punished for this. Instead, the old lord rewarded him. Sometimes I even hope that he really succeeded in escaping, so that he would have a reason." Punish him."
Regarding this result, Chateau did not mean that what Cecily told just now should have been heard from Niya, and the reason why Niya told Cecily instead of telling other people was probably just between best friends. Make complaints.
The actual situation on the battlefield at that time was that Sandur had the idea of escape, but Niya saw through it and frightened him. However, because it was just an idea, he could not be punished. On the contrary, Sandur himself was a mid-level mage. He really did his best on the battlefield, and giving rewards is in line with the rules.
Chateau could probably imagine Niya's depression when she told Cecily about it. As for whether Niya was lying, Chateau didn't doubt it, and there was no need to doubt it.
Shado is no stranger to concepts such as "a close relationship cannot be separated by distance" and "a close relationship can hide from each other". Niya and him are indeed considered "close", but Sandur cannot even be described as "estranged" to him. superior.
It's just that they are in the same mage tower, and the other party is likely to become a staunch opponent of his transformation plan, so what reason does he have to help Sandur.
It's just that Chateau's view is somewhat similar to that of Lord Epps. As long as Sandur has no actual violations, the punishment is unnecessary. At most, it will marginalize him.
Shado was thinking about how to deal with Sandur in the future, when Cecily suddenly said: "Sir, I think he is likely to oppose the transformation of the Tower of Time."
"Ok, I know."
In fact, Cecily was also opposed just now, but Cecily's interests are highly consistent with the Tower of Time. As long as Shado can clearly explain the benefits of transformation to the Tower of Time, it will not be difficult for Cecily to be convinced.
In fact, Shado had never considered the possibility that Cecily would oppose him before. In reality, Cecily did object, but her objection was only that the plan was too radical and might have serious consequences for the Tower of Time's income and expenditure. Influence.
The same cannot be said for Sandur. The interests of ordinary Tower of Time members are not necessarily consistent with those of the Tower of Time, especially short-term interests.
There will always be some people who are very short-sighted and can only see the one-third of an acre of land in front of them; or they see too clearly and are too shrewd, knowing that in the long run, their importance will decrease all the way.
As for which type Sandur is, Chateau actually doesn't care. He and Cecily have roughly discussed a bottom line for transformation, which at least won't be unacceptable to most people.
In the next few meetings, he will make more realistic adjustments based on the opinions of these mid-level mages who have a strong say in the Tower of Time, and try to implement the transformation quickly and steadily.
…
"It's getting late. I also have an appointment with Master Depak, so I'll leave first."
Due to the uncertainty of the master's time, when Xia Duo made appointments with these masters, they did not make appointments in the same reception room, but made appointments in several reception rooms depending on the number of people.
Anyway, there are quite a lot of reception rooms on the public floor. There are even apprentices working on the public floor who usually go there to rest after work. Of course, as long as Xia Duo or other mages decide to use a certain room, the apprentices will want to enter.
When the time comes, they will be stopped by the tower spirit.
Next, Shado met with De Parker, Warren, Horst, Sander, and Leonard in turn.
Among them, Depak is the personnel director of the Tower of Time, Warren is the foreign affairs director, and Horst is a friend of Albock. As for Xander, he has a good relationship with everyone.
But as mages, the most important thing is that they are all close to high-level. Among them, Depak and Shado even suspect that he is already a high-level mage.
One of the pieces of evidence is that when Shado was inquiring about the status of the Tower of Time, he discovered that someone had conducted a fifth-level spell experiment not long ago, and it was none other than Depak.
It's just that if others don't talk about this kind of thing, it's hard for him to take the initiative to ask.
As for Leonard, although he is only a young and relatively junior mid-level mage, due to his status, he still has a strong say in the Tower of Time.
Shado has always respected Leonard. The main reason is that it was Leonard who brought him into the Tower of Time and gave him the "first pot of gold" in the Tower of Time (10 learning points).
Scroll redemption rights and official apprenticeship status).
It is undeniable that the "first pot of gold" had a huge impact on Xia Duo.
If there were not those learning scrolls, if there were not the convenience brought by the formal apprenticeship (free opportunity to ask questions in class), then he might still be struggling in the apprenticeship stage, working hard for that little paper and ink!
How could he become the arcanist Xia Duo he is today!
Although Mu Yan’s care was behind the “first pot of gold”, if Leonard really wanted to pass up, there was nothing Xia Duo could do against him.
Of course, Xia Duo is more grateful to Mu Yan, but Leonard also deserves respect.
