Lord of Arcane

Chapter 314 Aquiline
three days later.

Xia Duo, who was obsessed with the magical world, suddenly received a notice from Niya asking him to receive two guests from Severton.

This time it was not in Niya's reception room, but in a reception room on the public floor. When Xia Duo arrived, Abeke and the two guests had already arrived.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Facing the three arcanists who were at least high-ranking mages, Xia Duo didn't dare to take advantage of them, but fortunately, the other party didn't care about them.

Eberke first introduced the identities of the two guests, both of whom were arcanists from the Arcane Union, who wanted to obtain divine grace by repairing the magic net, and then improve themselves.

After a few pleasantries, they came to the main topic. The only dispute between the two parties was the cost issue. Xia Duo, who had been instructed by Niya in advance, killed the bottom line, and each person received 50 Arcane Energy Crystals.

For an Arcanist, it is not a small amount to take out so many Arcane Energy Crystals all at once, and it is because of the members of their Arcane Union that they collected so much.

Double that if it's an unorganized arcanist.

It's just that when Xia Duo was negotiating the price with them, he kept drumming in his heart. The current situation of the Tower of Time is not ideal, and the energy gap is a big problem.

Perhaps it was because of this that Niya insisted on charging every Arcanist who came over. The Tower of Time standing there alone was a deterrent that could not be ignored.

There are very few battles between mages, after all, no one has written on their foreheads what level they are, and what cards they have.Basically, whenever there is a fight, it is a long-planned and well-prepared surprise attack.

Therefore, it is not empty talk that peace is the most important thing.

But there is another factor that must be considered, and that is to act in anger. There is no way to do this. Xia Duo must also be careful when negotiating prices with the other party.

You can neither show cowardice, make the other party feel that you are easy to bully, nor irritate the other party, use your own life to verify the effect of [Protective Robe].

After some discussions, both parties agreed on a final price, which was still 50 Arcane Crystals per person.

Afterwards, the two left with Eberke, only Xia Duo remained in the reception room, not to say that there would be guests waiting for him to receive later, but he thought of a question——

What if someone is unwilling to hand over the money?Not everyone is so easy to talk to, there will always be someone who doesn't want to pay any price.

Once let go, those who paid the "money" before will definitely be dissatisfied, but is the current Tower of Time capable of carrying out the charges to the end?

For some reason, Xia Duo suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"I hope there won't be such a person!"

……

On the other side, the town hall, the reception room.

Niya is here to receive an official envoy from Hawkland in the north—arcanist Aquiline.

"Lord Niya, I strongly protest your inaction in handling the case of Axel's murder!"

Aquiline waved his arms, without the slightest demeanor that a spellcaster should have. He looked down on the little girl in front of him from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that as long as his voice was higher, he could scare her into tears. He shouted yelled:

"Lord Niya, if you can't catch the murderer as soon as possible, Lord Hawk will handle it on his own!"

"Your Excellency Aquiline, please pay attention to your words! This is Savile Land, not Hawke Land!"

The expression on Niya's face was very serious. She tightly held the scepter passed to him by her father, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible:

"After our investigation, the murderer has died of Axel's curse. Regarding this point, your Excellency has seen Axel's curse amulet, so it should not be difficult to confirm."

"No, no, no!" Aquiline waved his hands again and again, exaggerated, but he didn't care, "What we need is the murderer himself, whether dead or alive, not just news about the murderer. Lord Niya, please clarify at this point!"

In fact, the first thing Aquiline did when he came to Savile Town was to search for the murderer through spells, and what he was able to confirm was that the murderer was dead, and the body was moving south along the Wolfburg River.

If you give him a little time, it is not too difficult to find the body.

But here's the thing - dead people don't deserve him, neither Axel nor the one who killed him!

He even personally interfered with the prophecy about the direction of the corpse to ensure that no one could find the corpse while he was in the south.

His real purpose was to lock the ruins. Anyway, the lord's people died, not his people. If he could use this matter to avoid the usual arcane energy crystals, why not do it!

No matter how Niya explained, Aquiline needed that corpse. Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense in the end, Aquiline was not ignorant, leaving a sentence of "I will wait for the result here soon", and left directly.

After Aquiline left, Niya's anger gradually calmed down, and she began to think seriously. Although the scene just now was indeed infuriating, it was actually within her expectations.

It's just that the other party insisted on seeing the corpse, which was somewhat beyond her expectation.

She can be misleading, but it is absolutely impossible to get a fake corpse out. It is too difficult to make a fake in front of an Arcanist.

And the real murderer has become Xia Duo's follower, even if not, she is not willing to hand it over.

Is it because of the Mystic Ruins?Or does the Eagle Chamber of Commerce want to intervene in more areas of the territory?
The other party's identity as an Arcanist reminded Niya that she knew too little about Hawkland.

She only knew that the lord of the Hawkland was a powerful arcanist, and that the Eagle Chamber of Commerce even had a certain influence in the elf kingdom.

After thinking for a long time, Niya finally stood up and murmured, "It's time to go to Severton!"

Before Lord Epps entered the stasis room, he repeatedly told Niya that after the Midsummer Festival celebration, she must go to Severton to meet Archmage Greta and Archmage Auron.

This shows that the new generation of Savile lords is still facing Her Royal Highness, and will not change camps due to the alternation of lords.

Of course, the other party might not care, but the Savile leader couldn't help it.

I couldn't spare time because of complicated trivial matters before, but now, both the territory and the Tower of Time have smoothly transitioned to the Niya era.

Time to head to Sewington!

……

Now that the Tower of Time is in the ruins of the Mystery, the energy needed to go to Severton is dozens of times that of the past.

In addition, although Niya has become a high-level mage, she hasn't learned [Teleportation] yet. If she wants to return as soon as possible, it's best to bring Eboke with her.

But in this way, the only two high-level mages in the Tower of Time are not there. If an arcanist visits during this period, it will be more troublesome.

"Shadow—"

Niya whispered Xia Duo's name, wondering if he could do it alone, but for now, that's the only way to go.
