On this morning, Xia Duo had just arrived at the laboratory, and Luo Wei and the others were inspecting the device, and Broad and Iolem were not there.

Shado was not surprised, since the defeat of the Drow in the Underground War, the chores of the Acanthus Federation have increased, and Iorham has become busy.

Fortunately, the project has already been on the right track, and it is more about verification, which is actually the most time-consuming construction process of the installation, and the rest of the discussions, improvements, etc., can only account for a small part of it, and Iolem's occasional absence does not affect the progress of the project.

As for Broad, after the Sewenton Parliament issued a pioneering order, in addition to the newly opened areas on the border, a large number of pioneers also poured into the Conch Plain.

Xia Duo also understands this, after all, in the past nearly half a year, he can't stay in the Austrian Federation all the time, and he often leaves.

In addition to returning to the Tower of Time every month to accompany Nia and inspect the territory, the watchtower also needs his regular maintenance.

Sometimes it's common to go for a day or two, two or three days, as long as you don't miss the discussion here.

...

Soon, Lowe and the others finished checking, and Xia Duo, as usual, was ready to ask Iolem and Broad if they were coming, and if not, he would start the experiment directly.

So far, the project has progressed, and the need for Grand Arcanists in the experimental stage is more to clean up the mess, and the collection of arcane energy can be done by Luo Wei and others, after all, the power of the device is limited, and it is impossible to collect it indefinitely.

If Iolem and Broad don't come, the most that will be halved is the half-plane that overlaps the experimental area, and it's nothing.

After all, this thing was originally prepared as a consumable, and it could be created by spells, and the actual cost was probably a matter of getting the Grand Arcanist to work a little more.

After Xia Duo's summons, Broad's reaction was normal, saying that he would be there soon after a while, after all, the construction period of the device was long, and it would be a pity to miss one.

But Iolem's reaction was a little strange, not to say to come or not to come, but to directly ask Xia Duo to suspend the experiment, which had never happened before.

"Teacher, what the hell is going on? Why can't we continue experimenting? "

"It's a bit complicated, I'll explain it to you when I get back."

After that, Shado asked a few more questions, but Iolem responded and seemed to be busy.

...

After a while, Broad came to the laboratory, and when he saw that Iolum was not there, he asked Shado, "Teacher, isn't he coming again?" "

"Well, it's not just that the teacher won't come, I'm afraid we're going to have to pause this experiment."

"Experiment paused? What's wrong? What happened? Is there something wrong with the device? Brod asked in surprise.

Looking at the faces of Luo Wei and the others, there was also a look of surprise, they had just checked the device, and there was obviously no problem, why did they cancel today's experiment?

In this regard, Xia Duo told everyone the result of contacting Iolem just now, and everyone said that they could not understand.

But in any case, since Iolem deliberately confessed the matter, Xia Duo and the others can only accept this reality for the time being, and only wait for Iolem to come back and ask for an explanation.

Waiting a little longer is not a big deal, after all, the most time-consuming part of the project is the construction process of the installation.

Here, Xia Duo and Broad stayed in the lab to discuss the details of the follow-up improvements, while Iolem came over and occasionally exchanged speculations about the accident.

Luo Wei and the others left temporarily, and in the other laboratories, there were at least six devices waiting for them to complete, and it was impossible to drag all the time here.

...

Soon it was noon, but Iolem never showed up, and both Shado and Broad had a unanimous guess about the matter-

Maybe the problem is with the Seven Towers!

Iolem has not appeared for such a long time, according to past experience, it is basically the Seven Towers who are looking for him, otherwise what else can hold him back for so long?

But what else will happen to the Seven Towers?

Throughout lunchtime, Xia Duo and Broad discussed this matter, and the direction of the discussion was also varied, and they were at a loss at all.

In the afternoon, the work continued, and while I was fully engaged, I forgot about it for a while, until I received a notice from Iorem, "Come to my study!" "

Xia Duo and Broad glanced at each other, and almost unanimously chose to teleport directly, at this time, it doesn't matter if it is rude or not.

...

Iolum Study.

When Xado and Broad arrived, Iolem was fiddling with the Destiny Trail ornament on the bookshelf on the wall that resembled a staggered pair of bell and hairsprings.

Of course, it is not just an ornament, and after infusing the mysterious power of the goddess of magic, it can reveal the trajectory of the future to a certain extent.

Xia Duo also has such a one in his hand, which was given to him by Ioram before, but Xia Duo does not have the arcane holy power, this thing is really an ornament in his hand, and he can only take it out occasionally and play with it.

Seeing that Iolem was casting a spell, Xia Duo and Broad did not bother with words, but stood aside and watched silently.

I don't know how long it took, Iolem finally finished the ceremony, turned around with a hint of exhaustion, and beckoned to Xia Duo and Broad, "Sit down first, I'll sort out my thoughts." "

With that, he sat down on the chair behind his desk and picked up the Mithril pen in his hand, but instead of writing anything, he let the pen levitate and make irregular circular motions around his fingertips.

Fortunately, this process did not last long, Xia Duo sat down and took out the notes he carried with him to flip through them, and only after reading two pages, he heard Iolem's voice:

"You've probably guessed that I went to the Seven Towers in the morning, but the suspension of the experiment is not directly related to the Seven Towers, and the cause of this incident is that Comanso proposed to restrict large-scale magical activities at a meeting of the Northland Alliance, and named Nessreel, I think the elves suddenly said this, maybe they were aware of something."

Shado looked up just in time to see Iolem looking at him: "When you contacted me in the morning, Badigal was talking to me about it, and even if you don't contact me, I will inform you to suspend the experiment." "

Chado was about to ask a question, but Broad had already taken the first step to speak:

"There's no reason! How is it possible for elves to know what we're doing? Besides, what if you know? Does he say that the limit, and we have to accept it automatically? "

"Brod, don't worry, of course this matter can't be left to the elves."

With that, Iolem looked at Xia Duo again, "What do you think about this?" "

Xia Duo was about to ask about some details of the elf's proposal process, trying to find out its possible relationship with the experiment, but suddenly realized that what Iolem had just said to Broad was actually already explicitly related to the experiment.
