"Teacher? Why are you here?"
Savile separated the crowd and headed towards Iolum. Only then did the Tower of Time members surrounding the dark statue notice that an outsider had arrived in the floating city.
A few people who have seen Iolum have recognized him as Sha Duo’s teacher, Master Iolum from the Offician Federation. Most of those who have never seen Iolum feel incredible when they hear Teacher Polly call him teacher. .
In their opinion, Teacher Polly's knowledge was almost unfathomable. No one thought that their Teacher Polly actually had another teacher alive in the world.
At this time, Iolum also landed on the ground of the square. He pointed to the dark statue among the people and said in a complicated tone: "I came because of Xia Duo."
"Xia Duo? You said this is Xia Duo?" Savile suddenly turned around and stared at the dark statue, his eyes full of disbelief.
"You don't know yet? Then what are you doing around here?"
"Someone just said that a human-shaped statue suddenly appeared in Hengchun Square. Based on my understanding of Xia Duo, he doesn't seem like someone who could erect a statue for himself. It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, so I wanted to come over and take a look. But I never expected—"
Having said this, Savile couldn't help but look back at the human-shaped statue that seemed to be carved out of obsidian by a poor sculptor, "Teacher, why did you say this is Chateau?"
Iolum looked at the curious and worried eyes around him and asked Savile: "Are you sure you want to say it in front of so many people?"
"I think they have the right to know." After returning to the Tower of Time for so long, Savile has been affected to some extent. He does not think there is any inconvenience in making such information public.
On the contrary, maybe the more people who know, the more solutions can be found! If, as the teacher said, this statue is that of Xia Duo, you will know that Xia Duo must have encountered unprecedented trouble.
Iolum was a little surprised by Savile's answer, and said, "You were not like this in the past," and then began to explain everything he knew from the beginning.
From the earliest days when Xia Duo came to him with the intention of pushing for the renewal of the new covenant, to the changes in the three planes of Puman and Tianshui, and then the Seven Towers Plan and Ye Erlan's intervention.
When talking about Shado's firm opposition to Erlan joining the New Covenant, Savile couldn't help but interrupt Iolum's narrative and asked doubtfully:
"As far as I know, Xia Duo has never cared much about affairs outside the territory. Why is he so abnormal this time and firmly opposes Ye Erlan joining the New Covenant? Even if Ye Erlan joins the New Covenant, it will not affect the development of the Southern Territory, right?"
"This is also what I don't understand, but I think Xia Duo should have his reasons for doing this. He has grown so fast that I, an old guy, can't keep up with his ideas."
"Well, compared with Xia Duo, I am also an old guy. Teacher, please continue!"
"Then what happened today, Xia Duo proposed to open the three sides of Sweetwater in advance, and let the great arcanist over there come out to participate in discussions and decisions. Perhaps this approach angered Ye Erlan. Just now there was an elf assassin in Arcana. The square launched an attack on Shador, the intensity of which exceeded the elven attacks Nese mages had encountered in any past era.”
Speaking of this, Iolum couldn't help but sigh, "The result is what you see. Sha Duo was hit by the assassin's fatal blow, and then triggered some kind of backhand, turning into this statue."
"This -" Savile almost didn't dare to tell his own ears. When he first returned to the main plane, he appeared in the Tower of Time, and he had fought against Shado at that time.
Although a long time has passed now, even with Xia Duo's experience in spell duels at that time, it was impossible for him to be hit by any spell without resistance, let alone the floating city. He could still escape at the worst, right?
After thinking about it, he just couldn't figure it out and asked subconsciously: "What kind of attack can make Xia Duo unable to resist?"
"I arrived late. I only saw the Elf Assassin condensing the Mystery Lock into a tangible light, and then ignored time, space, and all protection, and directly hit Xia Duo."
Iolum said it briefly, but Savile is also a great arcanist, so he can naturally imagine the extreme scene that ignores time and space and ignores all protection.
It can be said that if he had encountered all this, he might not be able to keep this statue.
"Now, the teacher is here because -"
Savile couldn't say the next words, but Iolum said it for him, "To confirm Shado's status and to persuade you not to be impulsive!
"This matter may or may not be related to Ye Erlan, but if the impulse leads to the real mastermind escaping sanctions, I think that is not what Sha Duo wants to see."
"That's fine with me, but Nia-" Savile said worriedly.
"Where's Niya?"
"Sha Duo left some research materials for her when he went to Severnton before. Perhaps in order to spend this time quickly, after Sha Duo left, Niya locked herself in the laboratory, but based on past experience, She will come out every two or three days to check on the members of the Tower of Time, but that’s not necessarily the case, she may come to Hengchun Plaza to feed the cats the next moment.”
When Saville said this, Iolum knew that there was not much time left for the seven towers below, but he still wanted to buy as much time as possible, "You are his elder, can you help persuade him?"
"How can I persuade this? Epps is still in the stasis space now! Sha Duo has become like this again. If I were Niya, no matter whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Ye Erlan or not, I will first express this anger in Ye Erlan Let it out on your body!”
"well--"
Iolum sighed again. Originally, he wanted to ask about Ambassador Yeerlan's situation. Now it seems that even if he asks, there may be no results. It is better to leave it here. In case Niya comes out and gets angry, it's okay. It might be possible to give Ambassador Ye Erlan a head first to dissipate some anger, and then try to persuade him.
"Then let's do this for now. I'll take a look at Xia Duo's situation, then go back and inform the Seven Towers of the situation here, and urge them to come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"Um."
Savile nodded, and then made way for Iolum to get close to the statue of Shado. He had already checked it just now, but unfortunately nothing was found. He asked the teacher to check again, and maybe he could find something. .
Iolum was about to step forward, but suddenly stopped, frowned, and asked Savile: "Who is in control of the Floating City now?"
"Niya has authority, as well as the spirit created by Shado. Finally, the five-member committee of the academy also has certain authority. What's wrong?" Savile replied.
"Just now, a statue of Master Yeerlan in the Offa Square was destroyed by the [Light of Annihilation] dropped from the floating city. A message was left on the scene, saying that if there is no result after three days, the Tower of Time will take revenge on its own."
With a complicated expression, Iolum told Savile the news he had just received.
