Arcane Lord

Greta was very satisfied with Shado's straightforwardness, and she was more optimistic about this young man. Nia, who was sitting next to him, seemed a little dissatisfied, but because of the previous episode, she did not show it in front of Greta, as if she was sulking alone.

At this time, the great wizard Greta finally said what the so-called mission was-

"Lord Shado, what Her Royal Highness the Princess wants you to do is not difficult, it can even be said to be extremely simple, and there is almost no danger."

"Hmm?" Shado was a little surprised.

"Lord Rodney will invite you to Rodney soon, and Her Royal Highness the Princess wants you to agree and go there in person."

That's it-

Shado's heart, which was still hanging, suddenly fell. Going to Rodney is better than going to explore some unknown secret place.

Combined with Greta's previous words, since Lord Rodney sought refuge from the Seven Towers, it is highly likely that he would not have any bad intentions towards him.

"No problem, I'll leave immediately after Lord Rodney invites me!"

...

After finishing her business, Greta stood up and left her seat. She was ready to leave. There were still many things waiting for her to deal with at Seventon!

"Sir Greta, wait a minute!"

Seeing Greta was about to leave, Niya suddenly stopped her and asked the same question again, "What's the matter with Lord Rodney's invitation? Why must Shado go?"

Even though Niya's words had some obvious questioning tone, Greta's smile remained unchanged. She stopped and looked at Niya, who looked at her fearlessly.

Seeing this, Shado hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Raniya. Although Niya stood up for him and touched him a little, this behavior of directly questioning the archmage was still not worth promoting.

Even if Archmage Greta was not angry in front of him, there was no guarantee that there would be some obstacles behind him. Shado didn't want to think so badly of people, but sometimes being cautious was more in line with the logic of survival.

After being pulled by Xia Duo, Niya immediately calmed down. She knew that her behavior was a little inappropriate, but she was unwilling to let Xia Duo go to any unclear appointment.

So the situation was deadlocked.

In the end, it was Greta who took the initiative to break the deadlock. She looked at the young Niya in front of her as if she saw herself when she was young, so energetic!

"Niya, didn't I just say that this is just a normal invitation, there will be no mission danger. This is what Her Royal Highness the Princess said in person. You don't believe me, don't you believe your teacher?"

"Then why must Xia Duo go?"

"Because Lord Rodney invited Lord Xia Duo!" Greta made a little joke at this time.

But Niya also reacted quickly. This was undoubtedly the teacher's arrangement. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and said in a flat tone:

"I know!"

After that, Niya silently made way and motioned Greta to leave.

Greta smiled, not taking the little girl's emotions to heart, and said kindly: "In that case, I will leave. There are still many things to do in Seventon! When the Drow War is over and you return to Seventon, we will talk together."

Niya nodded stiffly, and sent Greta to the teleportation room with Shado.

Before going to the teleportation array, Greta turned around and said to Shado, "Don't worry about Lord Rodney's invitation in the near future. It's really just a simple invitation. Just treat it as a trip!"

After that, she walked into the teleportation array without looking back, skillfully activated and started it, a white light passed, and Greta was no longer in the Tower of Time.

...

"Shado--"

"Niya--"

After Greta left, Shado and Niya called each other's names at the same time.

"Let me talk first. Why did you agree to that mission, Xia Duo? Didn't Archmage Greta just say that Lord Rodney has offended a certain great arcanist? It's very risky to be involved in such a matter! Even if I can guarantee your safety in Rodney Territory, if the price is to be remembered by a great arcanist, then I would rather let Lord Rodney develop territory in the Green Pearl Forest! You should refuse!" Niya's eyes were very serious, which made Xia Duo swallow back what he wanted to say. He also looked at Niya very seriously and said what was in his heart: "If I refuse, will I have to stay in the Tower of Time for the rest of my life?" "How could that be? The teacher can't punish you for such a thing!" Niya retorted subconsciously. But she soon realized what Xia Duo meant by that sentence. It was not to stay in the Tower of Time in the literal sense, but that Xia Duo had his own ideals and did not want to always rely on the Tower of Time and the relationship between the princess and the student. If he wanted to do something else, it was naturally impossible to narrow the road inside the Seven Towers. Thinking of this, Niya's mood suddenly became a little complicated. She looked at Xia Duo, as if she saw someone who could disappear at any time.

And this person happened to be Xia Duo. If it was a year ago, Niya would not be too touched. After all, the transition from apprentice mentor to husband and wife is indeed a bit awkward.

But after more than a year of getting along, Niya has become accustomed to the existence of such a person around her, and the relationship between the two has also changed from the initial mutual testing to the level of almost relatives now.

After experiencing the sadness of her father leaving once, Niya really didn't want to experience the departure of a relative again. She looked at Xia Duo blankly, her voice began to tremble, "You, are you leaving the Tower of Time?"

Xia Duo was stunned. He didn't know how many things Niya had figured out in just one sentence, "How could I leave the Tower of Time! This is also my home in Netheril, but I can't I will rely on you to support me for the rest of my life. Men have hands and feet, and they have to work hard to make a world of their own! "

Hearing that Sha Duo was not leaving the Tower of Time, nor was he trying to break away from the Tower of Time or her, Niya's mood suddenly improved again. Thinking of what Sha Duo had just said, she couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Is this also the custom in your hometown?"

"That's right! So what are Netheril's habits?"

"In Netheril, among couples, the weaker one will naturally choose to rely on the stronger one!"

"Well--"

Xia Duo suddenly didn't know what to say. This was a naked hint that it was okay for him to eat soft rice. But Xia Duo also knew that if he really chose to eat soft rice since the two got married and didn't work hard on himself at all. , then the best outcome for him in the future is probably to become one of Niya’s many faces!

He didn't believe that just by being an intermediate mage, he could tie down a promising arcanist lord for the rest of his life.

The same is true even on earth. How could a pure duck attract the long-term attention of a rich woman? No matter what, we need to establish some characters, tell some stories, and have more tricks.

Of course, Xia Duo is not comparing himself to a duck, but from a rational or emotional point of view, he does not need to completely eat soft rice, and he will never lose money when investing in himself.

Isn't this a bit of a scumbag? But perhaps it was precisely because of this kind of thinking and this kind of behavior that Niya was gradually attracted to him.
