However, the protective mechanism in the preparatory teleportation hall is far more than just the spell-suppressing field that is close to the dead zone of the magic network. There are also powerful restraints and even expulsion spells.
Especially the restraint, which is almost an enhanced version of the stasis spell.
Just when Sha Duo was still rejoicing that Niya finally took action, he didn't expect Niya to deal with him as well. When his thinking came to a halt, Sha Duo still had some vague awareness of the outside world.
It seemed that he was teleporting, and the next moment, his eyes lit up and he realized that the environment he was in was no longer the preparatory teleportation hall before, but became Niya's bedroom.
Niya herself stood beside him and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can only separate you in this way."
"Where is that man? How long has it been now? Have you confirmed his identity?"
The passage of time cannot be sensed in a stagnant state. Xia Duo still retained some perception just now. He is not sure whether it is an illusion, but it is obvious that the time must not be the time when the previous battle took place.
As for how long it took, it depends on how long it took for Niya to release him from stasis.
"I just took you back to the bedroom, promise me not to do anything again." Niya said softly, holding his hand.
"Okay, I promise you."
Xia Duo agreed immediately. Now this situation is considered the best outcome. The next step is to confirm the identity of that person.
"By the way, Niya, where is that man? Where did you put him? Can you confirm his identity?"
"In the prison cell on the first floor, you made such a sudden move just now. I thought you found something, so I put him there temporarily. What if he is really my great-grandfather?"
At the critical moment, Niya still believed in herself more, and Sha Duo felt very relieved, but Niya's current appearance of worrying about gains and losses also made him feel a little distressed, so he comforted:
"Don't worry, if it is really Savile himself, after confirming that he has no malicious intentions, I will apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness. I think, as an elder, he should forgive us!"
"It's hard to say. When I was a child, I often heard my father mention my great-grandfather. I still remember that look of admiration and fear very clearly to this day." Niya whispered.
Savile had already been punished by God and exiled to another world before Niya's father was born. The two of them probably had never met, but they still had such deep feelings, which could only have been passed down from Niya's grandfather.
Perhaps Niya's grandfather felt more deeply, but unfortunately Niya's grandfather had passed away when Niya was born. If there had not been an orc wave, maybe Niya's grandfather would still be alive today!
It would be interesting if we saw Savile who had returned from "sentence" in advance at this time.
…
No matter how worried Niya is, she must personally confirm whether the person who appears on the summoning circle is her great-grandfather.
On the first floor of the Tower of Time, there is Prison No. 1.
When Sha Duo and Niya appeared here, the man in the prison was still in a stagnant state, with gray hair and simple clothes, almost like an old country farmer rather than a powerful spellcaster.
But the eyes of the old farmer in the country are not as sharp as those of the person in front of him. They are so sharp that even if they only take one look, they will leave a deep impression.
Only then did Xia Duo have time to carefully observe the other person's appearance. I don't know if it was due to preconceptions, but there was indeed some resemblance between this man's features and Niya's father Epps.
Especially the haggard appearance of Epps when he was struck by the aging curse two years ago is almost 70% similar to the person in prison now.
"Niya, do you have any way to confirm his identity?"
"The notes left by my great-grandfather mentioned that when he was a child, he accidentally entered the forest and fell into a hunter's trap because of his playfulness, which left him with a disability on his foot. Later, due to his outstanding mage talent, the disability was cured, but great-grandfather always remained. He wore the scar on his foot as a warning to himself. If this man was his great-grandfather, he should still have that scar."
"..."
Xia Duo was speechless. How can he check if this person is in stasis now? Even hitting him with a hammer is useless. Once the stasis is released, the other party will see that he is in prison and have to take off his shoes to verify. This is simply humiliating. ah!
It's not true, but that's fine. If it's really Savile, there's no guarantee it won't leave a thorn in my heart.
"Is there any other method?"
"The other thing is to ask him about his great-grandfather's past. If he can answer it, it should be true."
"It's not right, it's not right."
Xia Duo still shook his head. It was the same sentence. If it wasn't true, that would be fine. If it was true, then everyone's faces would not look good.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
This won't work, and that won't work either. Niya couldn't help but become a little anxious, and even prepared to release the other party first. Sha Duo quickly stopped her and put forward a more feasible plan:
"Kilan Tower is expert in the field of blood, and may have spells to verify blood relationships. I will go to Severton and wait until I come back. Anyway, he is in stasis now and has no concept of time. It doesn't matter if he waits a little longer. "
Niya hesitated, but there seemed to be no better way. She did not want the meeting with her great-grandfather to be too harsh. Sha Duo had already attacked him before. It would be too bad if she had to interrogate him again.
"Okay, how long are you going to go for?" Nia asked.
"I'm going over now and will be back tomorrow at the latest. You stay at home and think about other verification methods until I come back."
"Um."
Niya nodded, trying hard to turn her eyes away, forcing herself not to look at the person in the prison.
…
After comforting Niya, Shado set foot on the teleportation circle heading to Severdon. As soon as he arrived at Severdon, Shado received a message from Iolum:
"Is there anything urgent about coming to Severton so late?"
Shado was almost startled by this sudden summons. You must know that he had just arrested a person suspected of being Savile, and Savile was a student of Iolum. It really felt like he was catching someone.
Before coming to Severton, Shado was still thinking about asking Iolum to go back and help verify it. Now he was a little hesitant. After all, Savile's guidance beacon was also a secret.
He still didn't want to tell Iolum until it was really determined.
And if the one who comes back is true, the more insiders there are, the more embarrassing it may be for Savile.
Therefore, Shado was still prepared to wait until everything settled before notifying Iolum, and now he still sought help at Kiran Tower as originally planned.
After dealing with Iolum on the grounds of personal matters, Shado immediately summoned Brundes, the director of the Austrian Law Federation who had a relationship with him before, and asked him if he had time now and he had something to discuss.
Fortunately, although it is relatively late now, for a great mage who has a role in the Arcane Federation, it is probably the time to be active.
Almost less than a minute after Chateau's subpoena, Brundes' reply arrived——
"Lord Shado, I am honored to receive your invitation. I have time now. Do you need me to go to the Tower of Time?"
