Early the next morning, Chateau stood outside the Savile Port Pier and watched the "Lucky Owen" slowly sail out of the port, and behind it, two cargo ships of similar size were also untying their moorings.

One of the two ships was a new consignment that Nia had given to Shador, and the other was a riverworker recruited by Nia to dig the river from the Great Xia Collar to the ruins of the Lost Lock.

This is what the Arcanist of the [Hidden Hand] called the "Elemental Channel", which will greatly alleviate the situation of the magic web riot in the Lost Locked Area.

The Tower of Time is always in a state of confrontation with the outside magic network riot, and mitigating the riot is also saving energy for the Tower of Time, and Nia finally decides to dig this passage.

Looking at the "Lucky Owen" that was gradually moving away, while it had not yet used the scope of communication, Xia Duo contacted Leiden on the ship, and finally admonished:

"Go ahead with the plan!"

Seeing Layton waving at the bow of the boat, he turned and left, recalling Nya's explanation when she left yesterday, and Xia Duo felt a faint sense of urgency in his heart.

It's not just because the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has arrived, but more importantly, the Tower of Time is in a weakened state, and I don't know when the enemy will pounce on it.

Niya left this time to go to Severton to inquire about the news and seek possible foreign aid, and she explained a lot when she left, from the territory to the Tower of Time, specific and detailed.

But it is precisely because of this that Xia Duo has a bad premonition.

……

Back at the Tower of Time, Xia Duo first went around to check the work status of everyone, including the apprentice, and made sure that all the restoration work was going on normally, and he was a little relieved.

To his surprise, though, the Arcane Garden had already been organized, and according to his original estimates, it would take at least a week for the work.

I didn't expect it to end so soon, and it seems that Dean and Sammy have done a good job of supervising and motivating them!

Production activities can then be carried out, but Shador's authority in the Tower of Time is not enough to order the Tower of Spirits to activate the relevant functions in the Arcane Garden.

For the time being, this piece can only be left first, and only basic maintenance can be carried out.

As for other aspects, although he can't do it himself, he has made up a lot of books on the knowledge of creation in the past few days, and he still knows a lot about the principle.

Basically, it's about repairing the circle and then permanently co-existing with the Strings of the Net.

The former only requires skill, resources, and patience, while the latter requires at least a mid-level mage.

The Tower of Time is only a dozen mid-level mages counting the peripheral members similar to Keqing, and the restoration period has been scheduled for a few months.

During this period, if there is some impact, it will need to be postponed.

……

Here, Xia Duo had just returned to his room, and before he could sit down, someone came to the door, and it was the personnel director of the Tower of Time, the mid-level mage Depark.

When Xia Duo officially joined the Tower of Time, the promotion authority was handled by Master Depark, and before Lord Epps could confirm it, Master DeParker lent him a magic book, which benefited him a lot.

After that, the two also had a few exchanges, which can be regarded as relatively familiar.

Just now, when Xia Duo inspected the restoration work of the Tower of Time, the two had just met, and Xia Duo didn't know what the other party was looking for him, so he exchanged a few words of greeting and got straight to the point:

"Master Depak, is there anything important that you suddenly came to me?"

"That's right, there is news from the material department, saying that there is a gap in the repair materials, did the tower owner leave any news before leaving?"

"It's-"

Looking at Depark's serious expression, Xia Duo also had a little headache, Nia said a lot of things, but there was no mention of the shortage of materials.

Of course, this may have something to do with what she said before she left that she would come back in two or three days.

"Mage Depark, how long can the current materials of the Tower of Time last?"

Hearing this, Depak probably understood something, thought for a while, and replied: "The other materials are okay, they are sufficient in a short time, but topaz and peridot can only last less than two days, and if these two materials are missing, many subsequent restoration work will not be possible." ”

Topaz, peridot?

Xia Duo has little research on magical materials, but he knows very well that all gems are the embodiment of elements and energy, and ordinary people may make them into jewelry to show their temperament, but the real demand is still the mage.

And in most cases it is a consumable.

Only those true treasures will be used as the energy core of magical items and reused.

And the two gems that Depack mentioned, although they are only used as consumables, can be used to repair the Mage Tower, and the price must not be cheap.

Instead of asking about the price of the gemstones, Chateau asked, "Is there a material that can be replaced?" ”

"Yes!" Depark nodded at first, but then shook his head again, his tone full of pity, "But it's not cost-effective to replace them with arcane crystals!" ”

“……”

Can it only be replaced by arcane energy crystals? Xia Duo was speechless, but he couldn't think of a better solution, after all, he was not Nia, and his authority was very limited, so he could only drag:

"You can go and ask Mayor Sain to see if there is anything in the territory warehouse, and wait for Niya to come back, she said she will be back in two or three days."

"That's the only way to do it."

DeParker left a little disappointed, and Xia Duo finally cleared for a while.

……

Meanwhile, the eastern side of Savile Town, where the Eagle Chamber of Commerce is located.

Aguilain sat on the top seat, and the two maids behind him pinched his shoulders lightly, looking at the man who looked like an adventurer who was respectfully narrating, Aguiline's heart was full of disdain.

A little person who is not even willing to reveal the identity of the person behind him, what qualifications do he have to talk about cooperation with him, and there is nothing substantive after listening to it for a long time.

It is said that the two families are jointly targeting the Savile Collar, but what does this have to do with him!

He is only here to lock up the ruins, and even if he takes over the task of investigating Axel's murder halfway, it is only a mission, and Hawkling's current attitude towards Savile Leader is to wait and see, not conflict.

"Lord Aguiline, the Savile Territory relied on nothing more than the Tower of Time left by the Grand Arcanist Saville, but until the Grand Arcanist Saville lost his plane, the Tower of Time was not built.

"My lord has received a definite message, the Tower of Time has never been completed, and this sudden teleportation has caused it to be seriously damaged, this is our best chance, isn't Lord Hawke about to become a Grand Arcanist? Maybe he needs—"

"Enough!" Aguiline interrupted abruptly.

Hearing the other party mention the secrecy of his lord, his eyes finally changed from impatience to vigilance, how could this kind of news that was tightly sealed get out? How many people else know?

Aguiline's first reaction was to silence him, but then he thought that the other party was just a small person, and the person behind it was more vigilant.

"Go back and tell your master that if you want to talk about cooperation, come over in person! Get out! ”

Seeing this, the adventurer-like man did not say any more, and saluted respectfully before turning and leaving.

After he left, Aguilaine waved off the two maids, took out a palm-sized crystal ball and placed it on the table next to him, and then cast a spell.

Immediately after, a blurry projection appeared on the crystal ball.
