Chapter 1119: God Butcher's Guess, Audit Questions
The divine grace that Alberk received was even worse than that of Chado, and it was completely a "performance" speech, and the two chatted about the topic of divine grace for a while, and then returned to the Tower of Time together.
Now, the magic web environment outside the Tower of Time has been fully restored, and the Codex sculpture is almost complete.
As for the people's familiarity with the laws related to land granting, Xia Duo's understanding of Leiden should be about the same, which is enough to make them a key node in the construction of the cycle of order in the land granting ceremony.
The "Far Away" carrying the northern bards has also arrived in the Great Xia Territory, and now the only thing that is missing from the field awarding ceremony is the final completion of the Code Square.
From the end of the exploration of the ruins of the Inosen Mage Tower to the present, for more than a month, Xia Duo was first busy doing a comprehensive inspection of the watchtower and maintaining the Blazing Sun Circle, and then he was busy repairing the magic net and designing and manufacturing the Codex sculpture.
Now that he has been busy, Xia Duo can finally relax for a few days.
However, being relaxed does not mean doing nothing, but it is just that there is less urgency from before, and it has become much more relaxed and leisurely.
Tower of Time, Material Division.
The sudden arrival of Xia Duo made Cecily hurriedly put down her work and got up to greet her, "My lord, why are you here?" ”
"Come by and have a look, don't be polite."
Xia Duo motioned for Cecily to sit down first, picked up a document on her desk, glanced at it, and put it down again, before asking, "Did the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce send someone?" ”
"Not yet."
"Not yet?"
Xia Duo couldn't help frowning, he was too busy to pay attention to this matter, but he remembered very well that he had notified the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to send someone over to negotiate the purchase agreement of the Tower of Time's new magic materials ten days ago.
I didn't expect that after so many days, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce hadn't sent anyone yet.
"Have you contacted Setos, and has he given any reason?" Shado asked.
"When contacted, Setos said he had only received orders to promote new coins, not new purchase agreements, but—"
Speaking of this, Cecily suddenly hesitated, then lowered her voice and whispered: "A few days ago, Cetos contacted me and said something like not being happy in the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, it seems that he intends to join the Savile Territory. ”
"And what did you do to him?"
"How can I call the shots about this kind of thing, I reported it to Niya, and Niya said that she didn't hear it, I guess something happened in Severton that affected Setos."
Accidents, and accidents, what is most annoying about Xia Duo now is an accident, what accident can happen in Severnton? President Jenna is obviously a Grand Arcanist, unless she has an accident personally, even if there is a big turmoil within the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, she can easily suppress it.
But what can happen to a Grand Arcanist?
Chadordo immediately remembered what he had "overheard" from Jenna's communication with Syd during the last time he saw Jenna in Severton.
Does it have something to do with SBC?
Could it be that he went to the outer plane like Master Byron did, and then was delayed by something and never came back?
That's so much fun!
Could it be that Jenna gathered a group of people to slaughter the gods and then failed?
The probability of this happening is extremely low, not that the probability of God Butcher failing is extremely low, but that the God Butcher itself is unlikely to happen.
After obtaining the Ascension Ritual Book, Xia Duo understood that the gods, at least the gods who were accomplished through the ascension rituals, did not have such a godhead as a godhead to plunder, and that killing Him might not even be able to get a hair in the end.
Of course, if the power of order that the God Slayer relies on to ascend to the gods conflicts with a certain god, then even if there is nothing to plunder, the demise of the target god itself can be regarded as a big gain.
Could it be that Jenna has something to do with the new gods and currencies that Syd said in his message? Or maybe it has something to do with commerce, trade, or even the realm that Jenna's other Ascension allies care about?
Thinking about it again, after Nia met the princess in Severton not long ago, she said that the princess's incarnation would leave soon, could it be that the princess was also involved?
If the princess participates, Byron will most likely participate, and if Byron participates, then Eolem may also participate, or even Congenio.
But when I met with those two people at the beginning of the month, I didn't find any abnormal signs!
Or can the two of them already regard God Butcher as ordinary and not show it at all?
This is obviously unlikely.
For a while, Xia Duo thought of a lot, and the last thing he wanted to see was that as soon as a new god appeared, a large group of god slayers would rush up, especially the gods who had achieved first to participate in it.
This means that the chances of the latecomer succeeding in ascending to the gods will become smaller and smaller, until they disappear.
Sure enough, becoming a god is not the most ideal upgrade route for an arcane master, the pit is limited, and even if he can successfully ascend to a god, he will face an unfavorable situation of infinite involution and suppression of backwardness in the future.
"The Sword Comes"
……
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"
Cecily's voice interrupted Xia Duo's thoughts, but fortunately, from the moment Xia Duo got the ascension ritual book and knew the inside story of the ascension, the ascension was no longer his first choice in the future.
The God of Order is facing the eternal competition of the power of order, and there will never be a shortage of challengers in the endless years, although the God of Chaos has no worries about this, but their existence itself means big trouble, and they are the objects that people like Xia Duo who believe in order, the country, and the gods must encircle and suppress.
Once you become a god of chaos, you will have to live in the shadows for the rest of your life, and you will be in the company of killing and betrayal, which is simply not a human life.
"I know, on the side of Saitos, you don't have to deliberately reply to anything, just as if this happened at all, I will contact the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce again, and your side will improve the new purchase agreement and negotiation plan, maybe the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will send someone in a few days."
"Yes."
"Then you keep busy, I won't bother."
After leaving the Supplies Division, Chado turned around and turned into the Audit Office next door, a newly formed department nominally subordinate to the Materials Division and under the management of Cecily.
But in fact, the audit office has always been independently responsible for the stewards sent by the four chambers of commerce, namely Savile Linghans, Slevin, Liaton, and Shining Gold.
These chamber managers are very good at digital work, and it's easy to be in charge of specialized audits at Tower of Time.
Of course, since these stewards are ordinary people and don't know magic, it's easy to be fooled when it comes to magic.
And this is also the main reason why Xia Duo came over this time.
……
"My lord, these are all the material subsidy application records of the private research rooms of the Tower of Time in the past six months."
"Hmm." Xia Duo nodded, and then began to flip through them one by one.
The main job of the Audit Office is to review the various documents and records related to numbers, and other aspects, Chado is not too worried.
Although it is in the Mage Tower, most of the documents and records with numbers are not much different from those outside, most of them are common sense questions, just look at whether the numbers before and after are correct, and whether anyone deliberately conceals anything.
However, there are many tricks involved in the application for material subsidies in various private research offices, and these ordinary people in the audit office may be good at mathematics and can find inconsistencies in the figures.
But if you don't know enough about magic, it's easy to be fooled by those private research labs, and they use all kinds of incomprehensible names to get subsidies.
Although the Tower of Time has a monthly cap on the subsidy for each private research room, you can't let people fill the upper limit every time!
Isn't this the long-term loss of the Tower of Time's resources!
