Chapter 881 Accidents, the opportunity to turn positive in advance
Accompanied by Niya, Sha Duo quickly arrived outside Archmage Greta's office, but the door was closed. Even though the two of them triggered the open alarm as a doorbell many times, no one answered.
"The Archmage may not be here. Maybe that's just a trigger message. Let's go back first!" After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo discovered something suspicious.
As an archmage, Greta could send him a message directly without having the tower spirit convey it to him. This might be because the other party had left the message with the tower spirit in advance.
Niya suggested, "How about I contact the Archmage and ask what's going on?"
Xia Duo thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'm sorry to trouble you!"
In fact, with Xia Duo's current status, he can directly contact the Archmage, but he and Greta have no personal relationship, and they only have a few routine meetings.
But Niya is different. Her status as a princess student has brought her a lot of conveniences. At least, it is much easier than ordinary people to deal with interpersonal relationships with Archmage Greta and the managers of Giles Tower.
It is said to be a personal relationship, but in fact it is more like Greta taking care of Niya, a junior.
…
Here, as soon as Niya contacted Archmage Greta, Shado noticed teleportation fluctuations around him. Realizing what it might be, he immediately decided to delay the teleportation.
The next moment, the space at the door seemed to be shaken so strongly that it became blurry, causing a misty white mist to appear. Accompanied by a sudden flash of magic light, Archmage Greta appeared at the door!
"Niya, Xia Duo, you are back earlier than I expected, come in quickly!"
With that said, Archmage Greta opened the door, revealing the dimly lit interior of the room, and motioned for Shado and the others to enter.
As the three of them walked in, the light in the room changed from dark to bright, and the air seemed to flow slowly. This was especially true for a bloodline person like Xia Duo who could transform into a gas form and control the airspace at any time.
clear.
I had been to Greta's office several times before, but those few times Chateau came there when there were people around, so he ignored them.
Now experiencing it from scratch, he suddenly discovered some details that he had ignored in the past——
The air in this office is relatively independent from the outside world, does not circulate, and is always updated. If someone really wants to poison the air, [country novel www.yanjuexiangcun.com] might be very interesting.
"Sit down first!"
Sha Duo and Niya sat down as instructed. After that, Greta began to get down to the topic. She first glanced at Nia, who was a little nervous, smiled slightly, and then set her sights on Sha Duo:
"I came to you because I want to inform you of something. Her Royal Highness the Princess has decided to grant formal lord status to a group of potential pioneers in advance, and you are one of them!"
"ah?!"
Sha Duo and Niya looked at each other in shock. None of them expected that the Archmage's invitation was for this, and not related to [Psychic Link] as Sha Duo had guessed before.
"What? Are you surprised?"
Greta looked at the surprised look of the two of them, as if she had thought of something, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Then the conversation changed and her expression became serious:
"It is certainly a good thing to be granted formal lord status in advance, but you cannot be satisfied with it and forget that the lord's duty is to protect the people and expand the territory!"
"Yes, I will definitely not forget it!" Xia Duo immediately expressed his feelings.
"Don't be too happy. Even Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot grant someone a formal lord status unconditionally. This still requires the consent of the Severnton Council."
"This -" Xia Duo was immediately dumbfounded. He thought he was directly promoted to a regular job, but he didn't expect that there was another process.
However, this is also a good thing for him. At least it means that the Grand Arcanist must also obey certain rules. This undoubtedly gives him many opportunities for survival and development.
Seemingly feeling that the atmosphere was a little too serious, Greta smiled slightly, her expression softened slightly, and then said:
"But you don't have to worry too much. I heard that this group of pioneers all have a copy of the "Standard Development Guide for the Great Xia Territory"! If even the Great Xia Territory cannot be approved by the Sevington Council, then other
It’s even harder for people!”
At this moment, Niya suddenly interjected, "Then what exactly should be done to get the approval of the Severnton Council? Can the Archmage give me some advice?"
"That's what I'm going to say next!"
Greta was not angry at Niya's sudden interruption, but followed Niya's words, "Within this month, the Severnton Council, or more accurately the Seven Towers, will send people to various places.
The pioneer leader conducts investigations and communicates with the pioneers. This is the main process.
"As for how to pass, there are two specific requirements, which also correspond to the lord's responsibilities. The citizens of a pioneering territory must have sufficient food. The other is that the pioneers must provide a timetable for the territory's food self-sufficiency, and
Ensure that there are sufficient food reserves until the territory reaches self-sufficiency.”
The two requirements seem very simple, but Xia Duo knows that there should be hidden conditions, and this condition has actually been revealed by Archmage Greta before - "has potential"!
Maybe it's the population, maybe it's the size of the territory, maybe it's the status and background of the pioneers, maybe it's the pioneers' own abilities, in short, there must be some considerations above.
This is a bit like an equal-option election. A group of potential pioneers are first selected from dozens of pioneers. If these potential pioneers all meet the two requirements, all of them should be able to become regular employees.
For Chateau, of the two requirements Greta mentioned, the only one that was somewhat difficult was actually a self-sufficient timetable.
The rest is nothing more than some food. As long as you have Niya's support, it's not difficult to get any amount of food. Instead, it's a timetable. Since the status of lord is granted in advance, there will definitely be certain restrictions.
Maybe it’s on this timetable. Since it’s a plan, there must be variables. It’s probably the only difficulty to satisfy the Severington Council’s inspection while also leaving room for yourself!
However, compared to other pioneers, the conditions on Shado's side are much better. If even he cannot get the recognition of the Sevington Council, it is basically impossible for others to do so!
"Thank you Archmage for your guidance! I will be fully prepared."
"That's good, Her Royal Highness the Princess values you very much, and I hope you won't let her down!" Greta reminded her at the end, and she meant to end the conversation.
Sha Duo also saw this, but he still had some doubts in his heart, so he took the initiative to raise the topic, "Your Excellency Greta, I don't know if Giles Tower is interested in the mental spells I used in the Green Field Plane. If
If you are interested, I am willing to provide a study scroll."
