In the end, Lord Epps was the first to admit defeat, put down the volume in his hand, and looked up at his daughter.
"Niya, why didn't you say anything when you came?" Niya, who was about to speak, was stunned for a moment, but then she realized,
"Father, why are you arranging people for me again? Don't I have a Ganal there?" Niya was quite puzzled. Normally, a mentor would not refuse someone with many people under his command, but she was different. As a lord, What does my daughter want that she can’t get?
How could this be achieved by exploiting apprentices? Some time ago, there were three apprentices in the Mage Tower who became official mages. Niya was assigned to an apprentice at that time, and she still feels very uncomfortable.
But this time she was assigned an apprentice again, and Niya immediately came to her father to argue. As a father, how could Lord Epps not know what his daughter was thinking, but he also had his own reasons and didn't want Niya to know for the time being.
The revelations received by the Advanced Arcanist of Alberk, although they may not actually happen, are enough to make Lord Epps change some of his plans.
For example, the original plan of Lord Epps was to let Niya gradually take over the affairs of the territory and become an arcanist in about ten years.
With his presence, he can ensure a smooth transition of power, the most critical of which is the authority of the Mage Tower, which will take a long time to be transferred.
But now he had to make plans early.
"Niya, Ganal and Shado are all very talented young people. They will become your assistants in controlling the mage tower in the future. In addition, as long as there are new mage with good talents in the future, I will arrange them for you. You must learn how to Manage them.”
"Father -" Niya originally just wanted to complain, but she didn't expect that her father would arrange an apprentice for her, and her dissatisfaction was immediately written on her face.
However, Lord Epps hadn't finished his words yet. He seemed completely unable to see his daughter's dissatisfaction and continued: "Also, every time you come to me in the future to familiarize yourself with the government affairs of the territory, and I will ask questions, if you can't answer them, I will detain you." Monthly quota.”
"Ah?" Niya was stunned. She was not stupid, but quite smart. When her father said this, her original intention to complain immediately disappeared, replaced by a feeling of confusion and uneasiness.
She asked subconsciously,
"Father, why are you so urgent?" Various actions showed that her father wanted her to take over the territory as soon as possible. This was not in line with the previous plan. Why?
"Your Uncle Aibo has successfully advanced to become an Arcanist. I don't want to fall too far behind. I will spend more time on magic in the future and hope to become an Archmage in my lifetime." Lord Epps' explanation was very ordinary. Archmage is the prerequisite for using life extension spells. Niya also knows this. She does not doubt it, but just feels a sudden pressure.
This was even worse than when her father asked her to go to the orc battlefield a few years ago. After all, at that time, although she knew that she would take over the territory in the future, she still had plenty of time.
But I didn't expect that it would suddenly be earlier than expected.
"I understand, father." Niya nodded with determination and solemnly promised,
"I will work hard!" Epps felt a little unbearable, but he knew that this was something that every generation of heirs of the Savile family had to go through. Although Niya was old, she was quite strong in her heart.
"Go back and come to my place tomorrow after dinner."
"Yes, father."... After Niya left, a figure suddenly appeared on a chair in the lord's room. It was the new arcanist Aiboike of the Mage Tower.
"Epps, have you made up your mind?"
"Yeah." Epps nodded and buried his head in the book again. Ai Bok on the side didn't know anything. If possible, he would rather not see any revelation or prophecy. This kind of thing is simply a kind of torture to anyone who knows about it.
But once a prophecy appears, no matter whether it is true or false, something must be dealt with. Although he has always regarded Niya as his daughter, unnecessary pampering at this time is obviously very inappropriate.
"By the way, what are you going to do with Mrs. Patty?" Aberke asked.
"Let her live in the mage tower for a while, so as not to cause trouble if she is released." As if he suddenly remembered something, Lord Epps said again,
"I received news that Ferbus's son left from Conifera City. He should be coming to Savile. Please pay attention recently and don't let him die here too. I have already notified Thane. Yes, he will cooperate with you."
"I know." After that, the two discussed some matters about the mage tower and the territory before ending the meeting.
...Second, Sha Duo woke up from his new bedroom. The bright light made him subconsciously squint his eyes, and then he immediately jumped out of bed.
The first thing he had to do was ask the tower spirit for the time. After being told that it was only after 4 o'clock in the morning, Xia Duo realized that it turned out that there was no sign of the formal mage at night. "Lights out" process.
This makes it easier for the mages to stay up all night, but this is obviously inefficient. Instead, it requires the mages to have higher self-discipline. Otherwise, the better the environment, the more obstacles it will have.
But then I thought, since there is no shadow and the lights are turned off, there must be a switch, otherwise it would be on all the time and it would be inconvenient to rest.
Yesterday, Xia Duo didn't think about this at all, but now it's not too late. He immediately asked Ta Ling about some conditions of the mage's residence. Different from the apprentice stage, now Ta Ling answered questions much more flexibly.
Although the voice is still the same, many questions that were not answered at all are now answered.
For example, if you gave a very general introduction to the room, if you asked during the apprenticeship stage, you would be punished by a longer response time from the tower spirit, but now you are introduced directly.
Putting aside the characteristic of being desperate for money, the current tower spirit is still quite good. Food delivery requires an appointment in advance, and Xia Duo forgot about it yesterday. He first made an appointment with Taling for food for lunch and evening, and then went to the restaurant on the first floor.
The time has not come yet
When the lights were "on", Xia Duo discovered that the outside of the sixth floor where the mages were located was still bright, even on the first floor.
After much calculation, it seems that only apprentices can enjoy standard
"Eight-hour rest system". ...Have you ever seen the Mage Tower at around four in the morning? Sha Duo had never seen it before, but when he came to the restaurant, he saw a group of apprentices taking out piles of food from the kitchen and placing them at the dining area.
In addition to bread, there are also egg rolls and cheese, which is a big pot meal. Xia Duo took a piece of food and left. Apart from being glanced at by a few curious apprentices, there was nothing else.
He is still dressed as an apprentice. He will go to the material application office to get equipment before meeting his mentor.
