Arriving at the reception room, Shado did not see the so-called guests, only Nia and Cecily, another female apprentice of Lord Epps, present.

The two whispered something, and immediately stopped when they saw Xia Duo coming, and Cecily also bowed to him slightly, which made Xia Duo's heart much more refreshed.

"Cecily, you go back first, I'll look for you later."

"Yes!"

Cecily answered, quickly left, and bowed slightly to Xia Duo before leaving, and after Cecily left, Nia didn't say a word, just stared at Xia Duo, her eyes were quite complicated.

Ahem –

"W-Nia? Mentor? Xia Duo coughed dryly and was the first to break the deadlock, and without Lord Eps, he felt that Nia was even more difficult to guess.

Hearing Xia Duo call her mentor, Niya narrowed her gaze a little and said, "You don't need to call me mentor in the future, call me Niya." ”

"Oh, good!"

"There are two main things that come to you." However, as soon as Nia's voice changed, she asked, "Do you know where the Tower of Time is now?" ”

"Is it in the Lost Ruins?"

Because of Lord Epps's affairs, Nia is likely to be very sensitive here, and Xia Duo can only say cautiously, but what is the connection between Nia and the Lost Lock Ruins?

Niya said, "The development of the Great Xia Territory cannot be stopped, and I will ask the Mayor of Sain to provide you with sufficient personnel and materials." ”

Hey?

Xia Duo glanced at Nia in surprise, but there was nothing unusual in the expression on her face.

Is it because of the status of a trailblazer, or something else? Xia Duo kept speculating in his heart, but he promised quickly, "No problem, I know!" ”

"One more thing, a few troublesome guests came over right away." Niya pointed to the position beside her, "You sit next to me, you don't have to say anything, just listen." ”

After speaking, as if she remembered something, she sped up and said, "By the way, take out the pioneer scepter granted by Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Hurry up! People are coming! ”

Xia Duo was a little confused, but he still quickly took out the pioneer scepter and sat down next to Nia, the crimson robe with the silver-white scepter, coupled with Xia Duo's deliberately rigid face, it looked quite like that.

Within seconds of sitting down, he heard a faint conversation outside the reception room, there were about four people, and Xia Duo could only tell that one of them was Alberke.

The other three should be the visitors that Nia is talking about, but I don't know where they came from, listening to the content of their conversation, like talking about some interesting things about Severnton?

Is it from Severnton? Is it from the Austrian Federation? Or is it someone else?

Just when Xia Duo was secretly guessing, people had already come in, in addition to Abbeck, there was also an old man, two middle-aged people.

Huh-

If it weren't for the fact that he knew in advance that the person who came was a guest, and that he was also a troublesome guest in Nia's mouth, Xia Duo would have thought that these people were friends with Abck.

These people, like Alberke, were all wearing blue robes, with blue and white star emblems on their chests, and a foot of long hair.

The only difference was that each of the three guests had an ornate cape and a scepter, while Alberque had a longer staff.

"My lord, Lord Shado, these three are arcanists from the Hidden Hand—"

Alberke pointed to one of the middle-aged men with a slightly serious face and introduced, "Master Orlins! ”

The other two, the old one is called Jelup, and the other middle-aged man is Egger.

Later, Abbeck introduced the three Arcanists to Nia, Lord of the Tower of Time, Lord of Saville, and Shado, the Pioneer and Lord of Great Xia.

Of course, there is also the most important - the ruins outside belong to the Great Xia Territory, and Xia Duo is Niya's husband, and the Tower of Time happens to be in the ruins.

After some introductions and greetings, it finally got to the point, and the arcanist Egberd, as a representative of the three, said:

"Lord Nyata, Lord Shador, the [Hidden Hand] recently discovered that the magic net here has been damaged, and if it is not stopped and repaired in time, I am afraid it will cause even greater harm."

After listening to Egberd's words, Niya immediately counted in her heart, "Three, the Lost Lock is located in the Great Xia Territory, and the Tower of Time and the Great Xia Territory are the same, I have already arranged for Abbeck to repair it, so I won't trouble the three of them." ”

"It's not troublesome, how can it be troublesome! [Hidden Hand] has always been committed to maintaining the stability of the magic net, where there is damage, there is us! Egger's face was upright, as if he felt that enthusiasm alone was not enough, so he added:

"Besides, Mage Alberk has just advanced to the Arcanist, how can it compare to the three of us who have experience, if the magic net here is not repaired while the riot occurs, once it is silent, I don't know how many times the energy will be consumed."

With that, Egbold looked at Egger, as if he wanted his confirmation.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Alberke could only nod, "That's true, Your Excellency Egberd is right, now the magic net that locks the ruins is still in the riot stage, and it is the best time to repair it, and when it falls silent, it may be really troublesome." ”

"That's it!"

Nia glanced at Xia Duo, and seeing his expressionless appearance, she nodded secretly in her heart, "I understand, the Tower of Time will not cause any hindrance to the actions of the three of them. But—"

"But what?" Egber hurriedly asked.

"I heard that when the [Hidden Hand] repairs the magic net in other territories, it will hire locals to be responsible for guarding and guarding, and the Great Xia Leader will provide 300 soldiers for the three as guards."

"No, you can't do that!" Before Nia could finish speaking, Egber cried out in horror, this is not a simple matter of hiring, hiring locals needs to be paid for with arcane crystals.

The so-called arcane energy crystallization is actually the crystallized arcane energy, which is born from the arcane fire of the arcanist, and each piece of arcane energy crystal must be accumulated by the arcane master over time.

If it is really according to the usual practice, I am afraid that hiring 300 people will not make the three of them bankrupt, which is absolutely unacceptable!

"Lord Niata, we are all arcanists, we really don't need so many guards, I think 30 is enough!"

On the other side, Alberk almost broke out in a cold sweat, he just mentioned that he could make these three people bleed, but he didn't expect Nia to be ready to swallow all the people in one go.

Fortunately, these three are not people with perverse personalities, otherwise I am afraid that they will not turn their faces on the spot, Alberke hurriedly summoned Nia, "Their willingness to hire 30 people has far exceeded my expectations, and I will accept it when I see it!" ”

Being reminded like this, Niya also knew that she wanted to be bad, but the previous words had already been spoken, and she couldn't take them back, so she could only say:

"Just 30 people! If the three of them still need anything, just bring it up, and everything is easy to say. ”

"No, no." Egbold hurriedly waved his hand.

"Lord Egberd, this is a bonus for 30 people you hire!"

"This-" Egberd of course knew that the price to pay for hiring 30 people was too great, just to gain divine grace, and he would inevitably grit his teeth and accept it, especially when the other party's mage tower was already clubbed in the ruins.

Now that he knew that there was a bonus service, Egger's mind came alive again, and he couldn't help but look at Master Orlins, and saw that the other party nodded imperceptibly, and then he was relieved.

He knew that the Lord of Great Xia couldn't actually be the master, so he said directly to Niya:

"Lord Niata, we want to dig a channel from the ruins to the Wolfburg River to the west!"
