Arcane Lord

In the end, Lord Epps was the first to admit defeat, put down the volume in his hand, looked up at his daughter, "Niya, why didn't you say anything when you came?"

Niya, who was about to speak, was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted, "Father, why do you want to arrange someone for me again? Isn't there a Ganal there?"

Niya is quite puzzled. Generally speaking, a mentor will not refuse to have many people under his command, but she is different. As the daughter of a lord, what does she want and not get? How could this be achieved by exploiting apprentices?

Some time ago, there were three apprentices in the Mage Tower who became official mages. Niya was assigned to an apprentice at that time, and she still feels very uncomfortable.

This time she was assigned an apprentice again, and Niya immediately came to her father to argue.

As a father, how could Lord Epps not know his daughter's thoughts, but he also had unspeakable difficulties and didn't want Niya to know for the time being.

The revelations received by the Advanced Arcanist of Aberk, although they may not actually happen, are enough to make Lord Epps change some of his plans.

Just like the training of heirs, Lord Epps's original plan was to let Niya gradually take over the affairs of the territory and become an arcanist in about ten years.

With his presence, he can ensure a smooth transition of power, the most critical of which is the authority of the Mage Tower, which will take a long time to be transferred.

But now he had to make plans early.

"Niya, Ganal and Shado are all very talented young people. They will become your assistants in controlling the mage tower in the future. In addition, as long as there are new mage with good talents in the future, I will arrange them for you. You must learn how to Manage them."

"Father--"

Niya originally just wanted to complain, but she didn't expect her father to arrange an apprenticeship for her. Her dissatisfaction was immediately written on her face.

However, before Lord Epps finished speaking, he seemed completely unable to see his daughter's dissatisfaction, and continued: "Also, from now on, come to me every day to familiarize yourself with the government affairs of the territory, and I will ask questions. If you can't answer them, just Deduct your monthly quota.”

"ah?"

Niya was stunned. She was not stupid, but quite smart. When her father said this, her original intention to complain immediately disappeared and was replaced by confusion and uneasiness.

She subconsciously asked, "Father, why are you so urgent?"

Various actions indicate that her father wants her to take over the territory as soon as possible, which is not in line with the previous plan. Why is this?

"Your Uncle Aibo has successfully advanced to become an Arcanist. I don't want to fall too far behind. I will spend more time on magic in the future and hope to become an Archmage in my lifetime."

Lord Epps' explanation was very common. Becoming an Archmage was a prerequisite for using life-extending spells. Niya also knew this. She didn't doubt it, but she just felt a sudden pressure.

This was even worse than when her father asked her to go to the orc battlefield a few years ago. After all, at that time, although she knew that she would take over the territory in the future, she still had plenty of time.

But I didn't expect that it would suddenly be earlier than expected.

"I understand, father." Niya nodded with determination and solemnly promised, "I will work hard!"

Epps felt a little unbearable, but he knew that this was something every generation of heirs to the Savile family had to go through. Although Niya was young, she was quite strong in her heart.

"Go back and come to my place after dinner tomorrow."

"Yes, father."

…

After Niya left, a figure suddenly appeared on an unoccupied chair in the lord's room. It was the new arcanist Eberk of the Mage Tower.

"Epps, have you made up your mind?"

"Yeah." Epps nodded and buried his head in the volume again.

Ai Bok on the side didn't know what to say. If possible, he would rather not see any revelation or prophecy. This kind of thing is simply a kind of torture to anyone who knows about it.

But once a prophecy appears, no matter whether it is true or false, something must be dealt with.

Although he has always regarded Niya as his daughter, unnecessary pampering is obviously very inappropriate at this time.

"By the way, what are you going to do with Mrs. Patty?" Aberke asked.

"Let her live in the Mage Tower for a while, so as not to cause trouble if she is released."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Lord Epps added, "I received news that the son of Fairbuss left the city of Conifera, and he should have come to Savile. Please pay attention to it recently. Don't worry." Let him die here, I have already informed Thane, and he will cooperate with you. "

"knew."

After that, the two discussed some matters regarding the mage tower and territory before ending the meeting.

…

The next day, Sha Duo woke up from his new bedroom. The bright light made him subconsciously squint his eyes, and then he immediately jumped out of bed.

The first thing he had to do was ask the tower spirit for the time.

After being told that it was only after 4 o'clock in the morning, Xia Duo realized that there was no "lights out" procedure for official mages at night.

This makes it easier for the mages to stay up all night, but this is obviously inefficient. Instead, it requires the mages to have higher self-discipline. Otherwise, the better the environment, the more obstacles it will have.

But then I thought about it, since there is no "lights out", there must be a switch, otherwise it would be on all the time and it would be inconvenient to rest.

Yesterday, Xia Duo didn't think about this at all, but now it's not too late to think about it. He immediately asked Ta Ling about some conditions of the mage's residence. Different from the apprentice stage, now Ta Ling answered questions much more flexibly.

Although the voice is still the same, many questions that were not answered at all are now answered.

For example, if you gave a very general introduction to the room, if you asked during the apprenticeship stage, you would be punished by a longer response time from the tower spirit, but now you are introduced directly.

Putting aside the characteristic of being desperate for money, the current tower spirit is still quite good.

Food delivery requires an appointment in advance, and Xia Duo forgot about it yesterday. He first made an appointment with Taling for food for today's lunch and evening, and then went to the restaurant on the first floor.

It was not yet time to "turn on the lights," but Xia Duo discovered that the outside of the sixth floor where the mages were located was still bright, even on the first floor.

After much calculation, it seems that only apprentices can enjoy the standard "eight-hour rest system".

…

Have you ever seen the Mage Tower at around four in the morning?

Sha Duo had never seen it before, but when he came to the restaurant, he saw a group of apprentices taking out piles of food from the kitchen and placing them at the dining area.

In addition to bread, there are also egg rolls and cheese, which is a big pot meal.

Xia Duo took a piece of food and left. Apart from being glanced at by a few curious apprentices, there was nothing else.

He is still dressed as an apprentice. He will go to the material application office to get equipment before meeting his mentor.
