Chapter 1346: Hierarchy, Sense of Ownership
Severnton, Azure Manor.
Xia Duo took out the magic items such as the Demon Slaying Talisman, the Vigilance Talisman, and the Communication Magic Weapon from the Tower of Time from the carry-on space one by one, handed them to Ava, and explained:
"Wait for Evans to come, you and he will go with him to meet and hand over to those adventurers, and if no one asks, don't rush to play the name of the Tower of Time for the time being, just do it in the name of Azure Manor."
"Yes."
"If there's anything you don't understand, just ask Evans, he's a member of the Seven Towers, and he can be regarded as his own person, just ask, just ask, it's best to squeeze it out."
"Hmm."
Although Ava's words were relatively few, Xia Duo had always been more at ease with him, but he still said a few more words out of habit.
……
Towards noon, Xia Duo had an early lunch at the manor and arrived at the Gilles Tower, where there were already people waiting for him.
Seeing Belera waiting at the door, Xia Duo couldn't help but be a little surprised, he really didn't expect it to be this one waiting for him here, but he still took the initiative to say hello:
"Good afternoon, Belera, long time no see!"
Chado's posture and tone were more relaxed, but Belera was a little restrained, she first bowed with a straight look, and then responded:
"Good afternoon, honorable Lord Chado!"
"You're welcome, just call me Xia Duo, I haven't congratulated you on your success yet!"
Chadordo noticed that the robe that Belera was wearing at the moment had a small circle embroidered with gold thread on the perimeter of the emblem of the Gilles Tower, which generally meant that Belera had just been promoted to internal authority.
There is a sense of celebration in it, and it doesn't necessarily refer specifically to advancing to become an Arcanist, but Belera has failed to advance several times before, and now she has suddenly been promoted by internal authority, so it's not an advanced success, what else can it be!
When Xia Duo said this, Belella did not hide it, but said with some shame: "I succeeded in advancing at home, and this fact is not worth celebrating." ”
I see!
Xia Duo suddenly understood, there are so many people in the Gilles Tower, the resources of the advanced laboratory are limited, and there are various conditions for wanting to use it, and Belella has failed to advance several times, and it is estimated that he does not want to continue to consume here.
Sure enough, the rich second generation will always have one more way home than ordinary people!
……
"Let's go in first!"
Chado beckoned Belera to go in and wait, and on the way began to talk about the others, "Do you know who else will go to Eversca together?" ”
"There is a place for each of the seven towers, and I only know that Anglin of the Gustav Tower and Rodit of the Kieran Tower are among them, and I don't know about the others."
"Will the Grand Arcanists of the Seven Towers all go with us this time?" Xia Duo asked again.
"I do know that only His Excellency Badigar went to Evrysca on behalf of the Seven Towers, on behalf of the Severton Council, and on behalf of Nethriel to complete the final signing ceremony, and no one else came."
Xia Duo nodded silently, he himself was not exposed, but with the addition of Iolem, Nethrel actually only passed two Grand Arcanists.
Not so cautious, right?
This kind of major event related to the pattern of the Northland, it is actually not abrupt to go a few more, anyway, there is always a spare one in the Seven Towers, but it is the Great Arcanist outside the Seven Towers, so I don't know how many people will go to watch the ceremony.
It wasn't until the two of them came to a teleportation hall with a towering dome that Xia Duo didn't understand why the rest of the Seven Towers Grand Arcanists didn't attend such an important occasion.
But Xia Duo was sure that they were definitely not afraid of death, maybe there was something else going on? What's that?
……
"Lord Shado, long time no see."
As soon as he entered the teleportation hall, he was greeted by another acquaintance, Rodit Collins, a thunder mage, a veteran arcanist, and the son of Lord Collins of Callins, Myne Collins.
When he got closer, Rodit whispered respectfully, "Greetings to you on behalf of my father!" ”
Xia Duo nodded, in fact, his personal relationship with Rodit had changed a little after he cooperated with Lord Collins to run the Comanso spice smuggling business.
Xia Duo himself was the same as usual, but Rodit, who was already in awe of Xia Duo, was now even more in awe.
Perhaps this is the true social relationship of most senior arcanists.
And if Rodit had known the identity of the Grand Arcanist of Xia Duo, perhaps his attitude would have been different than it is now.
In this regard, Xia Duo was quite emotional, but he didn't like this kind of relationship from the bottom of his heart, but even in the hometown where everyone is theoretically equal on the earth, it is inevitable that he will look up or down on others because of different identities.
Maybe this is the reality, but Xia Duo is not willing to succumb to such a reality, others will look up to me because of my status, and I will also be inferior in the eyes of people with higher status.
"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you", this is the most simple interpersonal relationship.
Xia Duo did not think that he could be an eternal superior, so from the very beginning, he needed to build a civilization where all people were as equal as possible.
From a utilitarian point of view, this will allow him not to worry too much about oppression from the stronger when he encounters a low point.
Of course, from the point of view of civilization, a milder order is also more conducive to the full development of all individuals within civilization.
……
The more power and power he mastered, the more Xia Duo realized the importance of responsibility, which is not the so-called chivalrous "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", but from the belief inheritance of the sages in his hometown of "self-cultivation and family governance and peace in the world".
This is also the sense of ownership that he has grown up in the new era of his hometown!
Of course, to put it a little narrower, "I am the country" is also fine, and Xia Duo has not yet evolved to the point of completely eliminating selfish desires!
……
Looking at Rodit, who was respectful bit by bit, Belella, who wanted to show closeness and restrained, and the other two members of the Seven Towers who had already arrived, they looked at each other with a little awe.
Xia Duo sighed secretly in his heart, just looked to the south, his eyes penetrated the void and seemed to see the growing Great Xia Ling, and at this moment, his mind became more firm.
Yavin
……
After a while, Anglin arrived, and as a student of Badigar, he knew each other as a crowd of people standing on either side of the hall.
According to this, Xia Duo also knew the identities of another group of people, except for Gino, the Arcanist of Morion Tower, who had crossed paths in the Snow Melting Contest before, the other three, Xia Duo had never crossed paths before.
To put it mildly, this may be their first time meeting.
It's just that the name of Xia Duo, and even the identity of Iolum's student, have already spread to the other party's circle.
Among the seven people present, except for Anglin who can still face Xia Duo with a normal attitude, the others are more or less awkward.
So Xia Duo only talked to Anglien, and from the other party's mouth, Xia Duo also knew more details about this trip!
