Chapter 179: Puppet
At this moment, Epps even wondered if the person in front of him could be a puppet, he heard that there was a puppet country in the far east, which could produce puppets comparable to real humans.
But only the elves of Comanso know how to contact them, but it must not be difficult to obtain a puppet from the elves as the Grand Arcanist Brod.
With this in mind, Epps deliberately paid attention to the expression and demeanor of the housekeeper Miller, hoping to find out what was suspicious.
"Lord Eps, do you have any other questions?" Butler Miller asked again, and it seemed that as long as Epps didn't answer again, he was leaving.
Epps hurriedly said, "Are the other students of Lord Broad free now?" ”
"Without authorization, I can't reveal it, but if you don't mind, Lord Savile can wait here now, and after the fourth, they will attend the regular meeting of the Mage Tower." This time, Miller had more butlers, and Epps didn't see any signs that the other party was not really forgiving, but he definitely couldn't wait, so he asked again: "Can I issue a mission in the Mage Tower?" ”
"Sorry, you don't have the permissions." Butler Miller refused with a smile, as always. Epps's expectant expression began to become distorted, and no matter how good his mentality was, he couldn't maintain it until now, and he was already extremely disappointed.
He originally wanted to find a few high-level mages to go back to support the scene in the form of issuing tasks, but he didn't expect to be rejected again!
Epps, trying to restrain his emotions, offered his farewell,
"In that case, then I'll leave first."
"Lord Savile, please follow me." There was no retention, and Miller's straightforward attitude made Epps very aggrieved.
Leaving the space door that requires borrowing the Mage Tower, Epps is not worried, Grand Arcanist Brod's Mage Tower is almost unlimited to any visit and departure, as long as you pay for it.
Epps was very dissatisfied with this trip, and he couldn't help but wonder if his grandfather was still alive now, would he still be treated like this?
No one could answer him, and Epps could only head to the teleportation room with a heart full of frustration. When he arrived at the teleportation room, Butler Miller waited quietly at the door, and then Epps finally reacted, regardless of whether Butler Miller was a puppet or not, but on the surface he was always a high-level mage.
Having a high-level mage receive him was a kind of importance in itself, and if it was only an ordinary person to receive him, he would have no room for opposition at all.
Thinking so, Epps temporarily stopped leaving and turned around,
"Thank you, Butler Miller, for your hospitality." After that, he stepped into the teleportation room, activated the teleportation circle and left the white tower.
Outside the teleportation room, the original programmed expression on Biller's face, who watched Epps leave, suddenly became more vivid.
"Epps Saville? What a good read! As soon as the words fell, his expression returned to his usual demeanor, and his entire body disappeared under a white light.
…… Savile Collar, Town Hall. When the lord returned, all the heads in the territory received the news and rushed to the town office to wait for the lord's instructions.
The new arcanist Abok was the first to teleport, and the mayor of the town, Sein, was already waiting in the conference room, and after seeing Abbeck, he asked: "Cecily came back with me, recently Nia didn't even have time to rest, what's the matter with you?" Before Abbeck could react, he was stunned for a moment, and Sein complained again,
"I'm going to take my time, what are I going to do with pushing Nia out too soon?" It turned out that this was the case, and Alberke almost understood,
"Brother Sain, don't be angry, because of the Arcane competition recently, Niya also wanted to help! As for letting Nia take over the territory, it was Epps's decision, I don't know. "Alberk, Lord Epps, and Mayor Sain, the three of them grew up together, and although their later development was different, they have always had a good relationship and know each other quite well.
If he had told Seenia that it was because of some kind of revelation he had received while he had advanced, Epps had made the decision, and even though Theon would eventually agree to the decision, Theon would certainly have complained about him again.
Therefore, he simply pushed it to Epps, and Abbeck knew that it was impossible for Sain to be angry with Epps.
Sure enough, as soon as Abbeck mentioned Epps, most of Sein's anger disappeared, and the rest came for himself and Abbeck.
After a few small talks, the two talked about the upcoming celebration, and Alberk didn't want to be so high-profile, but what Lord Epps had already decided could only continue.
As for the arcane competition, Albert was not much interested, restricting new mages and limiting the range of spells that could be cast, turning the originally romantic and unrestrained arcane competition into a crappy bard stereotyped performance.
It's a bit of a disappointment! But he also understands that the current influence of the territory alone is not enough to hold a real arcane competition, and he only hopes that the lord's side will go smoothly now, otherwise this arcane competition will probably end in a farce.
A short time later, the military chief of the Savile Command, Coyarne, arrived, and Alberck stopped chatting with Sain, after which all the people who were eligible to attend the meeting came.
Alberk took a look, and now the people from the temple haven't arrived yet, and of course Lord Epps is too.
…… Tower of Time, Lord's Study. Lord Epps, who was going to the town hall for a meeting, was blocked in his study by his daughter, and Nia placed a few pieces of parchment with writing in front of Eps.
"Father, I received this from the communication room during your absence!" Epps took the parchment and flipped through it, the expression on his face was surprisingly wonderful, and Nia, who noticed this scene, immediately asked, "Father, is this true?" "The message on these parchments came from Severton, and Archmage Oron had informed Savile that he would take his apprentice to the Abbel Advancement Celebration and the Arcane Competitions that followed.
Along with this notice, there was also information about the participating apprentices, whose quality could far surpass that of the mages in the territory.
This is also the main reason why Nia trained Shado and Garner harshly. Looking at his daughter's probing gaze with hidden concern, a warm smile appeared on Lord Epps's face,
"It's true, but don't worry, I've visited Archmage Oron at the Arcane Federation before, and he's here to support us!" Although the truth is that Epps did not mention any arcane competition to Archmage Orone, with this notice, it must be that the princess's side is stable.
Maybe in addition to the people brought by Archmage Orone, there will be other people who will participate! The only pity is that he didn't see the Grand Arcanist Lord Broad this time, otherwise, even if he just took it out at the celebration site, he could add some influence to the Savile Territory.
"Alright Nia, I'm going to a meeting." Epps stood up and left his desk, and before he was about to teleport, he added,
"Don't forget to eat lunch, I'll let Taling supervise you!" When it's over, it's gone.
"Father—" Nia barely had time to shout before she was interrupted by Taling's urging -
"Nya, the inheritor, the master commands - don't forget to eat lunch!" The second half of the sentence was clearly the voice of Lord Epps, and when Nia heard it, she kicked her father's desk, picked up Archmage Oron's message, and ran out with her ears covered.
