"Crunch—"

Hearing the sound, Xia Duo immediately turned his gaze to the mage tower where the sound came from, and saw that a portal was slowly opening on the gray outer wall of the mage tower.

Before the door was fully opened, a tall figure rushed out of the mage tower, he first swept his gaze outside the tower, and after noticing Xia Duo's presence, he immediately bowed slightly and saluted solemnly:

"Honorable Lord Shado, Master Savile, Steven, the Gillestall Tower's resident mage Steven has seen both."

Xia Duo could see from the insignia on the robe that the other party was indeed the Gilles Tower, and it was basically unlikely that anyone would dare to fake it, not to mention that this was originally the territory of the princess family, let alone fake.

And judging from the magic aura on the other party's body, even a mid-level mage of the Seven Towers will probably not be so rich, and this Steven is most likely a high-level mage.

And if the other party is an arcane, it is unlikely that they will be stationed here to guard the tower.

But even so, Xia Duo also gave the other party full respect: "Master Steven, fortunately! ”

"Your Excellency Chardo, you are here to receive the watchtower, I have received a notice, please come with me." Steven looked respectful.

After speaking, he stretched out a hand to the watchtower behind him, and motioned for Xia Duo and Nia to follow, Xia Duo and Nia glanced at each other, and both saw the confirmation information in each other's eyes.

In fact, no matter how many bad assumptions there were before coming, the probability that the Watchtower was a trap was extremely low after all.

Not to mention, an ordinary high-level mage is so close to Xia Duo, what do you really have to think about, Xia Duo's flying sword is not a vegetarian.

Someone came out of the watchtower, and Xia Duo was almost sure that there would be no traps here.

……

As soon as he entered the watchtower, Xia Duo was sure that this mage tower was indeed very inferior to the Tower of Time.

Although from the outside, this watchtower is a little taller than the Tower of Time, but the inside is too far behind, and the inside of the Tower of Time has a space folding effect almost everywhere, and here-

How big it looks from the outside, how big it is inside, and there is no folding space, at least Xia Duo didn't see it all the way.

"Lord Chador, Master Savile, this watchtower has been built for nearly three hundred years, and it has been the lighthouse of the Hubble Harbor route for the past three hundred years, and this duty needs to be continued after the handover."

Speaking of this, Steven paused deliberately, but neither Shado nor Nia showed any concern because of this.

Although Xia Duo also considered that it might cost a lot to maintain the super-bright lighting spell outside, this was a mage tower for nothing after all, and it was worth paying a lot of money to maintain it, not to mention the extra share of Mithril that could be obtained from the Arcane Federation every year.

You must know that whether it is a dwarf or an elf, the amount of Mithril exported to Nessreel is very tight, except for digging up the ruins, most of the Mithril currently circulating in the market comes from the distribution of the Arcane Federation.

Any registered mage tower can get a certain share, of course, Mithril itself still needs to spend money to buy, if you don't use that much, you can also sell the share.

The Tower of Time has already mass-produced three types of magic items (Communication Weapon, Vigilance Talisman, and Missile Wand), with more to come in the foreseeable future.

Even now, the Tower of Time's Mithril reserves are a little tight, and before owning the Mithril Mine, in addition to recycling this means of throttling, the only way to buy it is to open source.

However, it is important to know that the mass production design of magic items is not only completed by the Tower of Time, in fact, as long as you break that layer of window paper, almost all mage towers are capable of doing such designs.

At that time, the demand for resources, especially Mithril, which is imported in relatively fixed quantities each year, will increase.

You can't just build a mage tower in order to get an extra share of the Arcane Federation!

But what if there was a white mage tower?

That's different.

However, the real surprise is yet to come-

Steven saw that the two were unmoved, he didn't know if the princess had explained in advance, or if the two really didn't care, but he couldn't deliberately mislead, so he hurriedly explained:

"But you don't have to worry, the maintenance cost of the watchtower as a lighthouse will be borne by the Council of Severington, usually 100,000 gold coins per year, delivered in the form of Mithril and Arcane Crystals."

Hearing this, the corners of Xia Duo's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he glanced at Niya, who was also very surprised in his eyes.

Then, Steven added, "Originally, the light on the top of the watchtower could be easily seen at night and from the Sweynton side, but then because of the high maintenance costs, the brightness was reduced year by year, until now.

"After the two of you take over, you can also choose the brightness by yourself, you only need to ensure the normal navigation of the lighthouse, specifically it is to increase the brightness in foggy and rainy weather, it doesn't matter if it is a little darker at ordinary times, the actual material of 100,000 gold coins per year can completely cover the maintenance of the entire mage tower."

“……”

Maybe there's still a balance!

Xia Duo immediately realized that this was boring, and in fact, the form of the lighthouse could be improved, instead of the diffuse light spell, it was illuminated in the form of rays, so that it could save even more.

However, he did not know whether the lighthouse in the form of rays would be acceptable to the Sevington Parliament, and if it was to cut the funding for its maintenance, it would have to be studied again.

……

Soon, Shado and Nia, led by Steven, spiraled up the spiral staircase that clings to the inner wall of the Mage Tower, to the main control level of the Watch Tower.

The Watchtower's four-element pool is located on this level, and the transfer of permissions is restricted to this level.

Arriving in the Inheritance Room, Steven summoned a plainly shaped scepter and disintegrated himself from the scepter on a round platform about two fingers above the ground with intricate lines carved on it.

He then stepped down from the round platform and handed the scepter to Nia, saying, "Master Savile, please stand in the Legacy Circle and be in tune with the Watch Scepter, which is an essential step in transferring authority. ”

Nia reached out and took the scepter, then glanced at Shado, who nodded, and then Nia walked to the round platform and began to link the scepter to herself.

After a few moments, Nia stepped off the round with the scepter in her eyes, and asked Steven, "Is this okay?" ”

"That's it." Steven replied affirmatively, "There is no tower spirit in this mage tower, all authority is concentrated on this scepter, and if you master the scepter, you will master this mage tower."

"But beware, once the scepter leaves the Mage Tower, the Mage Tower cannot be operated, and the Mage Tower will automatically enter a state of alert."
