That afternoon, Giles Tower, visitor's guest room.
Xia Duo performed the [Transcription Technique] over and over again, and there were already piles of loose pages in front of him. Having a spell book as a spell-casting medium was indeed much less labor-intensive than casting spells by yourself.
Just when he was about to take a break to relax and staple the homepage, Niya came over and brought back a piece of news that surprised him:
"The teacher said that there will be a joint operation soon, and you have to participate."
The current intention was that she would also participate. Xia Duo immediately gave up the intention of resting and quickly asked Niya: "What kind of joint operation is it? Why is it so troublesome? Is it okay not to participate?"
To be honest, he still has a psychological shadow from his last trip to Rodney's Territory! I almost died. Although there was a near miss, the "surprise" itself was annoying enough. This time, I don't know what was wrong.
Perhaps it was because she had gone through some ideological struggle before, but Niya seemed very calm at this time, and even comforted Xia Duo softly, and then said:
"The teacher said it has something to do with elves. In addition to some people from Giles Tower and Gustav Tower, all pioneers must also participate. If I refuse, I will probably be deprived of my status as a pioneer!"
Xia Duo was silent. It was not that there were no examples of pioneer status being deprived of before. He had heard about it a long time ago.
There was a man named Mischiwu who immediately ran to an alien plane after receiving the title of pioneer. Then the princess immediately deprived him of the title of pioneer.
It is unknown whether there will be any other investigation after the incident.
But the problem is that people may really have no shortage of territory and have a deep background, but Xia Duo is different. His current territory already has great potential, how can he give up just because he wants to?
At the same time, if you really give up, you may really be in trouble.
In addition, Niya said that this joint operation was related to elves, and also called all the pioneers. It was difficult not to think of words like lining up and screening.
It’s not even just about taking sides. What is the so-called joint action? The meeting between the two parties is not just about drinking tea and chatting. Once your hands are stained with the blood of elves, isn't it equivalent to receiving a certificate of nomination?
From now on, I will probably have no choice but to follow the princess's path until the end!
Xia Duo was not opposed to starting a war with the elves. After all, humans and elves were two different races and they both lived on the surface and could not urinate together. They could be said to be natural competitors.
But this obviously coercive side still made him feel very unhappy!
Maybe this is the helplessness of the weak!
However, even if you become a Grand Arcanist, you will inevitably encounter the problem of taking sides. Where there are people, there will be different positions. The so-called neutrality is just that others have no time to pay attention to you.
It's really useless at the critical moment.
Now Shado can only comfort himself in this way. The only thing that comforts him is that the ship he is on is the largest ship in Netheril.
If this ship can sink, let alone other ships.
It's just that when it comes to individuals, whether they become rotten logs on the ship that can be thrown at any time or become a command flag that controls the direction of the ship are two completely different situations.
Some things must be faced positively after all. It is almost impossible to reach the highest position all the way. Xia Duo has never had such an idea.
Thinking of this, Sha Duo asked Niya again: "Do you know more details about the joint operation? Such as time, location, how it will be carried out, etc."
"The specific time is not clear yet. The teacher only said that it will be soon; the location I guess may be in a sub-plane. The teacher said that this action was taken because of the discovery of the Cormanthor elves in that habitable sub-plane. . As for how it will be carried out, I don’t know, but the teacher will arrange special training for us later.”
Second dimension? Special training?
Xia Duo thought thoughtfully. If there really was any special training, then he must have taken this operation very seriously.
On the opposite side, Niya saw that Xia Duo was silent and couldn't help but touched his arm and said softly: "Are you worried about this joint operation?"
Xia Duo held Niya's hand with a little force and gave her a reassuring look, "I'm not worried at all. It's just that this incident happened so suddenly that it was a little hard to accept."
Niya felt her face was a little hot when Sha Duo suddenly held her hand, and she continued following Sha Duo's words in a daze, "I also felt it was quite sudden. When the teacher told me about this, I was almost stunned!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed again, broke away from Xia Duo's hand, ran to the side, forced herself to calmly pick up the teacup on the table, and closed the tea.
Xia Duo noticed it as soon as she made a move, but Niya moved too quickly. He was about to say, "That's what I drank." Niya had already finished the half of the glass he hadn't finished before. .
He swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips, so he had to take out another cup and make another cup for Niya. When the tea cup was handed to her hand, Niya had already lowered her head in shame.
Sha Duo found that Niya was becoming more and more shy recently, but this made him like it very much. He admired Niya while drinking tea, and at the same time recovered from the mental exhaustion caused by the previous continuous casting of spells.
As for the so-called joint operation, it is already an established fact anyway. Didn't Niya say that there will be special training later? It won't be too late to ask about it then.
…
After a while, Xia Duo finished his rest and Niya returned to her normal state. While Xia Duo continued to transcribe the copies, she took over all the binding work.
After each page of a book was completed, she began to bind it. After binding, she took out her own book and studied it seriously, quite like a husband and wife accompanying each other.
Xia Duo took a look at the two books bound by Niya and found that they were much more delicate than those bound by him, and he was happy to let Niya help.
As the saying goes, "when men and women work together, they won't be tired from work." Near evening, Xia Duo finally prepared a dozen books to be given away.
But he thought of another question and quickly told Niya, "By the way, I don't know when the special training you mentioned will come. How about asking Belera to contact other people and put the two exchange meetings together? We’ll solve it all in one day tomorrow!”
Under normal circumstances, there are about ten people in an exchange meeting, but in theory, the more people, the better. It is equivalent to giving one part and getting more. Xia Duo still makes some sense in doing this.
When Niya heard this, she immediately thought of this question:
"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. Although it is a special situation, it is not a good thing to break trust. It is best to contact us in advance to solve the problem!"
