Chapter 314: Aguiline
Three days later.
Shador, who is immersed in the wizarding world, suddenly receives a notice from Nia asking him to receive two guests from Severington.
This time it wasn't in Nia's reception room, but in a reception room on the public floor, and when Shado arrived, Alberke and the two guests had already arrived.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
In the face of three arcanists who were at least high-level mages, Xia Duo didn't dare to take it big, but fortunately, the other party didn't care about this.
Alberke first introduced the identities of the two guests, both of whom were arcanists from the Arcane Federation, who wanted to improve themselves by repairing the magic net to gain divine grace.
After a few words of greetings, it came to the point, the only thing that the two sides had in dispute was the cost, Xia Duo, who had been instructed by Niya in advance, bit the bottom line, 50 pieces of Ao Neng crystals per person.
For the Arcanist, it is not a small amount to take out so many arcane energy crystals at once, and it is still for the sake of the members of their Arcane Federation that they have received so much.
If it's an unorganized Arcanist, it's doubled.
It's just that Xia Duo is grinding prices with them, and his heart is constantly beating drums, the current situation of the Tower of Time is not ideal, and the energy gap is a big problem.
Perhaps that's why Nia insists on charging every Arcanist who comes along, and the Tower of Time alone is a deterrent that can't be ignored.
Fights between mages are rare, after all, no one has any rank or hole cards written on their heads. Basically, whenever there is a fight, it is a premeditated and well-prepared surprise attack.
Therefore, harmony is not an empty word.
But there is also one factor that must be considered, that is, to make a move in anger, there is no way to do this, Xia Duo must also be cautious when grinding the price with the other party.
Neither can you show cowardice and make the other party feel that you are a bully, nor can you provoke the other party, and use your own life to verify the effect of the [Asylum Robe].
After some discussion, both sides acquiesced to a final price, which was still 50 Arcanon Crystals per person.
After that, the two of them followed Alberke away, only Xia Duo remained in the reception room, not that there were still guests who needed him to receive later, but he thought of a question-
What if someone is not willing to pay? Not everyone is so talkative, and there will always be people who don't want to pay anything.
Once it is allowed to go, those who have paid the "money" before will definitely be dissatisfied, but is the current Tower of Time capable of carrying out the charges to the end?
Somehow, 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 office, the reception room.
It was here that Nia was receiving an official envoy from the northern Hawke, the Arcanist Aguilaine.
"Lord Nia, I strongly protest your inaction in handling the murder of Axel!"
Aguilaine waved his arms, not at all as a spellcaster, he looked down on the little girl in front of him, as if his voice was a little higher, he could scare the other party into tears, he shouted:
"Lord Nia, if you can't catch the murderer as soon as possible, Lord Hawke will deal with it himself!"
"Lord Aguiline, watch your words! This is the Savile Collar, not the Hawk Collar! ”
The expression on Nia's face was very serious, and she held the scepter that her father had handed him tightly, forcibly suppressing 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, and on this point, Your Excellency has seen Axel's curse amulet, and it should not be difficult to be sure."
"No, no, no!" Aguilaine waved his hand again and again, but he didn't care, "What we need is the murderer himself, whether he is dead or alive, not just news about the murderer." Lord Niya, please be clear about this! ”
In fact, the first thing Aguiline did when he arrived in Savile was to search for the killer through a spell, and what he was able to determine was that the murderer was dead and that the body was moving south along the Wolfburg River.
If he was given a little time, it would not be difficult to find the body.
But here's the thing - the dead aren't worth it, neither Axel nor the man who killed him!
He even interfered with the prophecy of the direction of the corpse himself, to ensure that no one could find the corpse during his time in the south.
His real purpose is to confuse the ruins, anyway, it is the lord's people who die, not his people, if he can use this matter to avoid the magic crystallization in the practice, then why not do it!
No matter how Nia explained, Aguilain just needed the corpse, and in the end, seeing that the atmosphere became tense, Aguilain was not an unwise person, leaving a sentence of "I will wait here for the result in the near future", and left directly.
After Aguiline left, Nia's anger gradually subsided, and she began to think seriously, although the scene just now was indeed infuriating, but it was actually expected by her.
It's just that the other party insisted on seeing the corpse, which was a bit unexpected for her.
She could mislead, but it was absolutely impossible for her to get a fake corpse out, and it was too difficult to fake it in front of an arcane master.
And the real murderer has become a follower of Xia Duo, and even if she is not, she is reluctant to hand it over.
Is it because of the ruins? Or does the Eagle Chamber of Commerce want to meddle in more areas of the territory?
The identity of the other party's arcanist made Niya think about it, but she didn't know much about Hawk Ling.
She only knew that the lord of the Hawke Lords was a powerful arcanist, and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce even had some influence in the Elven Realm.
After thinking for a long time, Nia finally stood up and muttered, "It's time to go to Severton!" ”
Before Lord Epps entered the Silence, he repeatedly told Nia to make sure that after the Midsummer Festival, she must go to Severnton to meet Archmage Greta and Archmage Orone.
This shows that the new generation of Saville lords is still towards Her Royal Highness the princess, and will not change their factions because of the alternation of lords.
Of course, the other party may not care, but the Savile leader can't help it.
Before, I couldn't spare time because of the complicated matters, but now, whether it is the territory or the Tower of Time, it has smoothly transitioned to the era of Niya.
It's time to head to Severton!
……
Now that the Tower of Time is in ruins, it takes dozens of times more energy to get to Severton.
In addition, although Nia has become a high-level mage, she has not yet learned the [Teleportation Technique], and if she wants to return as soon as possible, it is best to bring Alberk.
It's just that in this way, the only two high-level mages in the Tower of Time are not there, and if an arcane master visits during this period, it will be more troublesome.
"Shado—"
Nia whispered Shado's name, not knowing if he could do it alone, but for now, it was all there was to it.
