Although Xia Duo had already finished reading the intermediate and advanced parts, it would be outrageous if he didn’t even finish the intermediate part!
Just when he was having fun, he was suddenly interrupted, which was really annoying. Xia Duo closed the book carelessly, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down.
Then he reopened the "Intermediate Arcane Geometry". This time, Xia Duo read it much slower, savoring it carefully, enjoying the feast of the mystery of magic.
There is no calendar day in the mage tower. If the tower spirit hadn't reminded him, Xia Duo wouldn't have known that it was already dusk as time passed.
After getting up and moving his body a few times, Xia Duo secretly regretted that after the arcane competition, he had left physical training behind. A strong physique is not a capital that can be wasted.
Fortunately, it was only broken three times, and it was not difficult to resume. Just before dinner was served, Xia Duo was active in the reception room.
When the dinner was delivered, Sha Duo had completed a set of basic actions, but what Sha Duo didn't expect was that it was Edrich who delivered the meal to him.
"How could it be you? Where's Walter?" Shado opened the door and signaled Edrich to come in. Walter was an ordinary apprentice who had recently delivered meals to Shado.
"Walter was tricked by a foreign mage and his foot was injured. I saw him on the road and knew it was for you, so I took it over." Edrich put the lunch box on the table and stood there. , seemed a little reserved, unlike before when I came here and just found a place to sit down by myself.
"Sit down first, don't stand." Sha Duo pushed Edrich gently, picked up the lunch box on the table and opened it to see that the food was still the same, nothing new.
Chateau asked Edrich while eating,
"You just dropped by, what's going on?" When it came to the topic, Edrich was a little shy, which made Xia Duo feel a little embarrassed.
"If you have anything to say, just be honest. Is there anything else we can't say between you and me?"
"My father would like to invite you to a dinner party at home."
"Dinner? Your house?" Xia Duo thought carefully. Edrich's father was Derrick, the lord's business director, and he was in charge of several chambers of commerce.
Xia Duo immediately thought of the development of the Daxia Territory. He just came back from Mrs. Patty yesterday, and today he was invited by Dai Liqi, so he had to think of this.
But Xia Duo also knew that the real contact between him and Daili Ke was probably with Edrich. After all, the development of the Great Xia Territory does need the support of the Chamber of Commerce, but does the Saville Territory not need it?
He would never ignore his own family and come here to help him. This would never go away. Thinking about it, Xia Duo gradually had an idea in his mind.
"Okay, I will be there on time tomorrow." In addition to being a mage, he also has the identity of a pioneer. Perhaps this is the reason why Derrick invited him.
"Great!" Edrich smiled immediately after hearing Xia Duo's agreement.
"I'll go back with you tomorrow." Then Edrich talked to Xia Duo about the situation in his family, which he rarely mentioned before, such as his father's strictness, his mother's love, and the fighting between brothers.
While eating and listening, Xia Duo had a more intuitive and three-dimensional understanding of Edrich's family and the situation at home.
At the same time, he also roughly guessed the purpose of Derrick inviting him. Soon, Chateau settled the dinner, and Edrich also left in time, and Chateau began his evening work again.
...At the same time, on the top floor of the Tower of Time, there was the lord's study. The person sitting behind the desk at this moment is not Lord Epps, but Niya. She is now gradually taking over the affairs of the territory. Many orders seem to be issued from the lord, but in fact it is Niya who is handling it.
Lord Epps and Aberke were drinking tea and chatting in a corner of the study. They seemed very leisurely, but their eyes turned to Niya from time to time.
"Have you been so lazy lately?" Ai Bok pouted angrily in Niya's direction and said with a smile,
"Do you know what Thane has been up to recently? You should have let Nia take over."
"Haha, this old guy, didn't he blame me for pushing Niya out so early, but now - hum, I am the most incompetent in the Savile family." He said that he was the most incompetent, but Epps's eyes showed that With a trace of pride, Niya is indeed much better than him, whether it is magic talent or ruling ability.
There is a successor to the Savile family!
"By the way, what are you going to do with the people who have stayed recently?" Aiboike suddenly mentioned the foreign mages recruited by Epps.
"They have ruined the atmosphere in the Mage Tower recently!" Lord Epps didn't care about this.
"Don't worry, they will be busy when the development plan is launched!" What he didn't know was that he was also planning to use these foreign mages as a stepping stone to test the elf mages. These people were not in Savile at all. Leader, he only stayed to get a higher salary than in the core area of the empire.
Once the Saville Territory can no longer satisfy them, they will leave here without any hesitation. Therefore, for these people, Lord Epps is ready to call them to death. Now let them feel comfortable. After a while, they will know why mages never sign sacred contracts easily.
There are so many loopholes that can be exploited, and they can be exploited with reasonable justification, especially when a high-ranking cleric is spared.
Thinking of those expressions, Epps couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression, but then he laughed.
Aibo was a little weirded out by this laughter.
"Epps, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of something funny." Epps didn't want to show his vulgar taste in front of this old friend, so he changed the subject.
"Do you have any clues about the black hands behind the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce?" This is what Epps personally told Albock to do after the death of Filbert of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce. Various circumstances indicate that a pair of black hands are secretly spying on Savile. collar.
From destroying the olive groves, to killing Ferbers, to transporting grain to Conifera City, this is no longer a temptation, but a clear malice.
According to Archmage Aulon, someone is eyeing the territory, but there is no more specific information. The only clue Epps has at present is the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce.
The person who destroyed the olive grove could not be found, nor could the person who killed Fairbus be found, but the person who transferred the food was the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce.
"According to the account of the steward named Harvey, the person who controlled Fairbuss came on the cargo ship of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't know the news after that." With that, Aiboke picked up the dimensional bag from the carry-on bag. He took out a stack of parchment and handed it to Lord Epps, and then said: "The transferred food is shipped from Angli. Some time ago, Archmage Angli has been contacting me, asking all the people from the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce to be transferred. I have to be released and compensate for the losses, but I haven’t contacted me since then.” Epps said casually, the torture record on the parchment didn’t have anything of value, and Archmage Angli didn’t contact me anymore. Simple - three years ago, there were several Archmages at the Savile Territory's celebration, and behind them were Grand Arcanists, and they even came directly on behalf of the Grand Arcanists.
