Soon, the time came to two days later.
That morning, Xia Duo took out the invitation letter Aldrin brought early. As the spell was activated, a portal surging with strong magical aura appeared in the garden of Azure Manor.
After confirming that the opposite side of the portal was indeed the Jilan Tower, Shado briefly told Ava a few words and walked in calmly.
And on the other side, Kiran Tower.
The moment Shado activated the portal on the invitation, the general affairs department of Kiran Tower began to take action. At the same time, the news was also passed to the controller, Grand Arcanist Horn.
"Dear Lord Shado, welcome to Kiran Tower!"
"Um."
Xia Duo nodded quite reservedly, and then, led by the relevant personnel of Jilan Tower on the other side of the teleportation gate, he went to a formal reception room not far from the teleportation room.
When Sha Duo arrived in the reception room, Horn was already waiting here. After seeing Sha Duo, he immediately smiled and looked quite enthusiastic:
"Lord Xia Duo, I've finally waited for you. Although I've met you many times, I think this should be our first official meeting! I'm glad to see you!"
"Sir Horn, nice to meet you!"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Xia Duo quickly got to the point, "I wonder what Mr. Horn thinks of the request for cooperation in bloodline sequencing that I asked Master Aldrin to convey before?"
"This is a bit difficult!" Horn suddenly frowned, "The bloodline sequencing project is a strategic project set by the previous controller of Jilan Tower. Regarding the external cooperation of this project, it is difficult for even me to make a final decision. but--"
"But what?"
"If it's one of our own, then there's no need to bother." Horn gave Shado a meaningful look and made the conditions without hesitation, "If Lord Shado is willing to join Jilan Tower, then the bloodline You must be the person in charge of the sequencing project."
Hearing such words, Xia Duo couldn't help but laugh. Unexpectedly, it was already this time, and Horn had not forgotten to win over him. If he was willing to join Jilan Tower, he had agreed long ago, and there was no need to wait until now.
"Sir Horn, please don't mention joining the Kiran Tower or anything like that. A group of people at the Tower of Time are counting on me to raise them! How could I leave them and be happy alone?"
Of course, Sha Duo's words are mostly excuses. In fact, the existence of the Tower of Time does not affect his joining the Jilan Tower. It is just that the interests of the Jilan Tower are not consistent with his. It is easy to join now, but it will not be easy to leave in the future.
You must know that all members of the Tower of Time have signed a sacred contract with the Tower of Time, and it is impossible for Kiran Tower not to do so.
If Xia Duo has no ambitions and only wants to hold on to his dreams, joining Jilan Tower may be a good choice, but it is obvious that Xia Duo has his own ambitions and goals.
He can almost predict that in the future, he, Jilan Tower, and even the entire Seven Towers Group will have ideological differences and conflicts of interest.
Rather than causing unpleasantness in the future, it is better to be clear-headed now and keep a certain distance.
…
On the issue of whether to join Kiran Tower, Shado was very resolute. Horn tried to persuade him a few times, but in the end he was unable to make any progress.
"In this case, I can only express my regret."
Like Shado, Horne is also very determined on the issue of opening the blood sequencing project to the outside world. If you are not from Jilan Tower, you can't even think of participating in it.
However, Xia Duo had already expected this result, and even prepared a trump card - a cultivation container with a cloning spell. He didn't believe that Horn would not be tempted.
"Sir Horn, don't you want to hear my conditions regarding cooperation on the blood sequencing project?"
In this regard, although Horn did not explicitly refuse, he also showed an expression of disbelief, "Lord Shado, although you have extraordinary blood power, Jilan Tower has been cultivating the blood domain for hundreds of years."
Horn didn't say all the rest of what he said, but Shado understood what he meant. It was just that - when it comes to research in the field of bloodline, Jilan Tower is a well-deserved authority. How could outsiders surpass him in this aspect?
"Have Lord Horn forgotten the great country in the south, Calimshan?"
"Calimshan?"
Hearing this name that was no longer unfamiliar to him, Horn's expression suddenly changed and he quickly asked: "Has Lord Shado obtained the knowledge of Calimshan's bloodline?"
"Not really."
Sha Duo shook his head, but before Horn could breathe a sigh of relief, Sha Duo said something that surprised him even more, "But I believe that Calinshan may not have what I have!"
"Really?" Horn asked solemnly.
"It's true!" Xia Duo also gave a clear reply again.
"this--"
Horn hesitated now, his face uncertain. He had just said that the strategic project of Jilan Tower would not be open to outsiders.
But now if there is a condition that will greatly help the project, it will be really difficult for him to give up. Horn knows that within the Kiran Tower, blood sequencing is almost the absolute focus.
Whenever possible, all plans must be compromised for this purpose.
Once the bloodline sequencing is completed, the Nese magic system will be greatly expanded. When the mystery of the bloodline is completely revealed, Calimshan will have to move aside.
Although there was still some resistance in his heart, Horn was still very honest, "I wonder what Lord Chateau's conditions are?"
"A brand new life magic, I call it [Clone]."
"clone?"
It seemed that this was the first time he heard this word. Horn's expression was very subtle. He wanted to ask carefully, but he felt a little embarrassed.
cough--
"Lord Shado, if this [cloning] magic is really useful for bloodline sequencing, then I think it is very reasonable to make an exception for this, and other people in Kiran Tower will understand."
Is this a verbal promise?
Xia Duo didn't pay much attention to this. His confidence was not the order tendency of Jilan Tower, but the cloning technique was not just a simple spell, but a series of spells including blood proliferation, directed differentiation, body coordination, etc. A collective name for technologies.
Before arriving, the culture container prepared by Xia Duo actually only contained the blood proliferation part of the cloning operation, not even directed differentiation, and it was said to directly generate a body.
After taking out the culture container that had been filled with elemental water in advance, Shado injected about ten milliliters of fresh blood into it in front of Horn.
This blood came from a valet in Azure Manor, and was part of a small bowl of blood that Ava bought from the valet for 100 gold coins.
"Sir Horn, please look!"
As Xia Duo activated the culture vessel, the small group of condensed blood suspended in the elemental water began to squirm in subtle ways that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Under Sha Duo's deliberate reminder, Horn quickly discovered this, and there was more -
He found that this small group of blood was slowly increasing!
