Even if Xia Duo was an ordinary person, he could see these situations happen in his lifetime, this was the war crisis he had always feared, and the kind of devastating scenes he had experienced in the [Projection Plane: Arcane Empire] still came to his mind from time to time.

Although the main reason for the destruction of the entire realm was probably the elves' control of the Arcane Empire's border barriers, it is undeniable that the elves do have great power.

At least Comanso in the projection plane, under the pressure of more than forty grand arcanists of the Arcane Empire, although he has gradually been in a weak position, he can still maintain his indestructibility, and even finally seized the loophole in the border enchantment of the Arcane Empire and turned the tables in one fell swoop.

From this, it is very likely that Comanso of the main plane also has such strength.

If a developing country wants to rise, it will inevitably touch the interests of the existing powers, and sometimes its own existence alone may trigger hostility and even murderous intent on the other side.

How difficult it is to rise peacefully.

……

Xia Duo let out a long sigh and reached out to remove the fireball ring that was floating on the alchemy table, and he kept playing with the small ring, looking at it carefully.

Judging from the appearance alone, the main body of this ring is silver, after all, the encapsulation material is silver, and because of the addition of a little bit of pure gold to support the strength of the ring, against the light source, a touch of blue light can be faintly seen on the ring.

As for the ring face, it is a seemingly ordinary ruby, and this main energy core can indeed be encapsulated with encapsulation materials, but because the ruby is too large, it is not very beautiful, so Xia Duo chose to make it explicit, forming a ring face.

The other power cores are completely hidden within the body of the ring, including the Mithril component.

In terms of appearance, Xia Duo did not design too much, on the one hand, he really did not want to do so many bells and whistles, and on the other hand, because of his lack of plastic arts.

So, it's a simple, unpretentious gemstone ring.

In the magical vision, the ring is constantly emitting a faint blue light, and within a certain range, any caster can easily spot it.

Of course, it's okay to hide the magic aura, but it's rare to do so, because it will increase the complexity of the magic item itself, and the difficulty of manufacturing it will increase a lot, but it won't do much to hide the magic aura.

None of the magic items that Xia Duo currently has have hidden the magic aura, and this fireball ring is only for collection, so there is no need to hide the magic aura.

After playing with it, Xia Duo put away the ring and did not try to use it. He felt that he would never use it for the rest of his life, and that he might be able to use it as a prize for some arcane competition in the future.

With this in mind, Xia Duo closed the alchemy circle, and then left the workshop, and followed the circular corridor of the common floor to another room.

It was a small reception room, and just as he was looking at the fireball ring, he received a message from Cecily that the appointed time had come.

Chadordo realized that it was afternoon, and Cecily had been waiting for a while, and when he entered the reception room, Cecily was holding a thick volume, constantly rummaging through it.

Ahem –

Xia Duo coughed lightly, which woke Cecily, Cecily hurriedly closed the volume, put it aside, got up and saluted, Xia Duo waved his hand, motioned for her to sit down and speak, and then said:

"I asked you to come over this time, mainly for tomorrow's Tower of Time collective meeting, what do you think of the transformation of the Tower of Time? Has Nia talked to you about this? ”

He knew that Cecily and Nia had a good relationship, and that she was Niya's housekeeper, so there was no need to beat around the bush about many things, so he asked directly.

Hearing this question, Cecily's face turned straight, "Lord Xiaduo, Nia just talked to me not long ago, but I think this plan is a bit too drastic, and the consumption of materials is also very huge, the Tower of Time has just gotten rid of the raw material crisis, I don't think now is the best time for transformation, and there is also resistance from tradition, I think it is better to postpone the implementation of this matter." ”

The first time he heard the objection with his own ears, Xia Duo felt very uncomfortable, even Cecily was against him, not to mention the others, probably only the members of the Entering Society, and other mages who could benefit from it would support him.

Xia Duo believed that if he insisted on going his own way, Cecily might obey the order, but he would lose the hearts of the people, and the other mages would not necessarily be able to run away.

After all, one of the most significant aspects of the transformation is the change of contract, and if Xia Duo unilaterally wants to change the contract, others can leave if they do not agree.

This is the tradition of the Mage Tower.

In Xia Duo's hometown, there is also a saying that "if you have a mistake, you will admonish, and if you don't listen to it repeatedly, you will go", which means that it is a bit good to gather and disperse.

Of course, on the other hand, once the contract is reached, if one party is unable to fulfill the agreement, then the other party can launch a counteract, but due to the unequal strength of the mage tower and the individual.

It is usually the individual mage who breaches the contract, and the mage tower investigates; The real mage tower breaches the contract, and the only thing the mage can do is probably leave.

At present, the Tower of Time is inseparable from these existing mages, but Xia Duo has plans to gradually cultivate reserve forces, but this takes time, and time is what Xia Duo lacks the most.

Looking at Cecily's determined look, Xia Duo knew that it would be difficult for him to convince her, if he forcibly brought it to tomorrow's collective meeting, it would be the beginning of the division and decline of the Tower of Time.

After thinking about it, people still have to succumb to reality after all, even a great arcanist can't do what he wants, let alone a little new arcanist like him!

However, this does not mean that Xia Duo has given up his *** plan, the plan still has to be implemented, but it should be a little more tactful, and the resource consumption should be less, and the part of the original plan for formal mages, especially for intermediate mages, can be postponed.

Then, Xia Duo and Cecily discussed the specific implementation plan, and with such a time tower material director giving feedback in real time, Xia Duo quickly adjusted a new plan.

At least in Cecily's opinion, it was barely acceptable.

Looking at some unrecognizable transformation plans, Xia Duo sighed in his heart, but he knew that if he didn't do this, he might not even have the opportunity to transform.

It's not unacceptable to save the country or something.

He believed that if the first step was taken, the power of progress would continue to flow, and that any obstacle would eventually collapse like a castle made of sand.

……

After negotiating the plan, Xia Duo probably had a plan in his heart, and he was fully sure of the next appointment, and asked Taling about the current time, which was still before the agreed time between him and the next person, so he asked about Sandur's situation by the way:

"Cecily, what kind of person do you think Sandur is?"
