"Huh?!"

Niya was shocked, and hurriedly cast the [Identification Technique] to check carefully, and only interrupted the spell for a long time, and said with some luck: "That's true, fortunately you found it in time, otherwise the spell book might have been damaged!" ”

"The subsequent bridging experiments need to be recalculated and adjusted, and there is no big problem. But what happened to you just now? Why didn't you even notice this? Xia Duo finally couldn't help but ask.

In fact, at the beginning, he felt that Niya's state was a little strange, but Niya didn't say anything, and he didn't ask much, but fortunately, the spell casting needed to enter a state of concentration, and Niya didn't make a mistake in the spell casting stage.

Otherwise, Xia Duo has the heart to cry, and next time he encounters this situation, he must ask in advance, even if he doesn't ask, he must find a reason to postpone the experiment.

Niya didn't know how to explain Xia Duo's question, could it be said that she was thinking about how to reproduce children just after casting the spell? How could she possibly say such words.

So, she could only use the Dafa of diverting the topic, "Don't talk about this, what do you think about the reduction in the amplitude of the earth element oscillation that appeared in the second bridging?" ”

I'm sure I'm going back and sitting and watching! Xia Duo complained in his heart, he couldn't stand here and immediately give a conclusion. It takes a lot of calculations and even additional spell experiments to figure out why.

In this regard, he could only say: "I think you should be here first today, I think you may need to rest." ”

This made Niya feel very embarrassed, and hurriedly followed Xia Duo's words, "Well, that's all for today, I have opened the corresponding permissions of this laboratory to you, you can come over and conduct the bridging experiment yourself when I am not there, of course, you can also wait for me to come back." ”

Xia Duo was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back first, it's not early, you rest early!" ”

He was still a little disappointed that Niya was reluctant to say the reason for her abnormality, but everyone has privacy, he didn't want to snoop on Nia's privacy, and they needed respect for each other, but he just hoped that next time it wouldn't affect the experiment.

Back at his lodgings, Xia Duo patiently studied the anomalies of the bridging experiment for a while, until the drowsiness grew and he went to bed.

……

Early the next morning, Xia Duo came to the teleportation room early, Niya left today, Xia Duo came to see her off, although it was just to see her step into the teleportation circle, but people get along with each other, sometimes, the form is also essential.

However, after Nya entered the temporary passkey of the Gillestall Tower and activated the teleportation circle, and waited for the circle to respond in a very short time, she suddenly said to Xia Duo:

"Next time we come back, we want a baby!"

As soon as the words fell, a white light flashed, and Nia had disappeared from the portal, leaving Xia Duo stunned in place.

Want a baby? Niya said she wanted a baby?

He couldn't believe his ears that Nia would say such a thing, but it was the case, and Shado had to believe it.

Although he didn't know why Niya said this, Xia Duo didn't have a "phone call" to ask her directly, he just guessed all kinds of possibilities by himself.

Until the afternoon, when Xia Duo went to the public floor to meet with the members of the Academy, he was still thinking about this question, and his heart was messy, he had been married for so long, and it would be pure self-deception to say that he did not desire Nia's body at all.

But Xia Duo has long gone beyond ordinary physical desires, "thinking" is one thing, and "doing" itself is another.

Whether it was him in the past or now, he thinks that this kind of thing is the best, and although his relationship with Nia is now a lot closer, it is not close enough to have children together.

Xia Duo thought about it, but still felt that he couldn't accept such a thing, at least for now.

So, before entering the conference room, he sent a message to Niya to the effect that he asked why she said that, and tactfully expressed his resistance.

……

Meanwhile, Severton, Gillesgale Tower.

Nia, who was consulting literature in the library, suddenly received a message from the Tower of Time through the essential link with the Tower of Time, but as soon as she finished checking it, Nia's face turned red and white.

The emotions of shame, anger, and grievance suddenly came to his heart, but he gritted his teeth strongly, as if he thought of something, snorted softly, and sent a reply to Xia Duo.

On the other side, Xia Duo had just stepped into the conference room, but his footsteps couldn't help but pause, Taling sent him a hint, and Nia sent him a message back, to the effect of a sentence -

I didn't say anything like that, how could you think that?

Niya's denial was expected by Xia Duo, but at the same time, a trace of regret and inquiry flashed in his mind, which was quickly suppressed by him.

Instead of teasing Nia again, Xia Duo walked towards the main seat of the conference room, he had made an appointment with someone from the academy to meet here today to discuss a series of issues related to the transformation of the Tower of Time, which was the right thing.

This is the same large conference room as yesterday's collective meeting, but there are far more people here today than yesterday, and there are many apprentices in addition to the official mages.

In other words, apprentices make up the majority.

Xia Duo had no intention of forcibly fabricating an organization where everyone was equal, and the Academy was actually divided into several levels-

For example, the [official members], including Shado, Dean, Sammy, and Tirak, are all official mages;

[Preparatory Member] refers to an apprentice who is only short of becoming a full-fledged mage by ascending to the ring, and if necessary, they can quickly become a full-fledged mage by learning the scroll through 1 ring in a short period of time.

But this is not necessary, the people who are selected to join the Academy, their goal is not just to mix up the title of official mage, the most reasonable way is to level up step by step, and in the future, they will not be unable to fight for the possibility of advanced arcanists.

Under [full members] and [probationary members], there are [associate members], or those who have entered the development object of the society, and have joined the society.

Under the [Associate Members], there are more people who have the heart to move closer to the Society, but have not been recognized and accepted by the Society, they can be called "activists", strictly speaking, at this level, they are not considered members of the Society.

However, the Tower of Time is in the process of transformation, and the Apprenticeship Management Office is about to be established, and Xia Duo has called these activists over.

……

Originally, the conference room that was very spacious for the formal mage meeting yesterday was packed with people who entered the society today, and Xia Duo didn't need to count them, and the permission to enter the society that was specially set up in the Tower of Time before made the statistics very simple.

There are 8 full members, 5 probationary members, 24 associate members, and even more activists, more than the previous levels combined, to 54 people.

Looking at these thriving seeds of change, Xia Duo couldn't help but be full of ambition.
