Chapter 1951: Brundez's Visit

South of Netheril, Tower of Time.

Xia Duo, who originally thought that he could stay in the blue crystal plane until the floating city was completed, had to temporarily leave the blue crystal plane and return to the Tower of Time.

Just now, Depak touched the magic mark he left on the Tower of Time, indicating that something happened in the Tower of Time that was difficult for the other party to handle.

Although Depak's judgment would most likely not be wrong, Sha Duo was still a little annoyed. In the past few days, Niya had expressed her dissatisfaction many times because he had remained in the avatar state.

What is the reason why he has been staying in the blue crystal plane? Is it not to complete the floating city as soon as possible and then return to the original body!

And now, it's been delayed again!

Why do you say again?

Because the Seven Towers notified Shado a few days ago that the recruitment of new citizens was almost completed. This was because he had previously cooperated with Hildalanna to raid the secret base of the demons. The population promised by the Seven Towers was as many as 50,000.

Shado attached great importance to this and immediately left the azure plane and went to Severton to set up a portal leading directly to Codex Square.

Speaking of which, this is considered a special event. Ordinary people cannot build a new portal in Severton. In fact, the portal he built needs to be dismantled on the spot after use.

…

After coming out of the blue crystal plane, Sha Duo contacted Depak while thinking about what important matter the other party had called him out for, and wondering whether there was something wrong with the portal.

But he immediately rejected this speculation. The core material he used to build the portal was David's string, and when tens of thousands of people in the Gray Eagle tribe were teleported before, the stability had long been verified.

Or maybe the Seven Towers sent the Nese Scroll that they found on Prince Sel before?

Thinking of this, Shado felt that it was unrealistic. Now those Netherese scrolls were being used as key evidence in the negotiations between Netheril and Cormanthor.

If the evidence is no longer needed, it either means that the negotiations have completely broken down, or that the negotiations are progressing smoothly, and the advantage is biased towards Netheril.

But obviously, these two possibilities are not very realistic in Xia Duo's view.

"What's going on?"

As for why we don’t guess what happened internally, it’s actually very simple. Whether it’s the Great Xia Territory or the Tower of Time, after many internal system adjustments, the rights and responsibilities of all aspects have long been clear.

Everyone does things according to the rules, and there will never be anything that requires Xia Duo to personally come forward to handle it.

The only weak point is the Savile Territory, but Savile himself is staying in the new mage tower in Savile Town. If something really happens there, and even Savile can't solve it, then there is no need to go to Shado. use.

Soon, De Park's summons came, and he only said one sentence-"Brendes is here again!"

"Brendes is here again?"

It was Brundes who came to inform Shado before that the recruitment of new citizens was almost completed. This time it was his words again. Shado's first reaction was the Nese Scroll.

But this shouldn’t be the case!

Did the negotiations between Seven Towers and Cormanso break down?

Xia Duo didn't dare to think about the smoothness of the negotiation for a while. He quickly asked De Park, "Did he say why?"

"Director Brundes is mysterious and won't reveal anything to me, but judging from his appearance it should be a good thing."

When Depak was summoned again, Shado had already found out the location of Brundes through Taling, which was not far from him and also on the public floor.

But Depak's reply still made him a little unbelievable. If it was a good thing, wouldn't it mean that the negotiation went smoothly?

For a moment, Xia Duo couldn't think of anything else for which Brundes could come to him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

…

The public floor of the Tower of Time, in the reception room.

Sha Duo walked in from the outside with a hearty laugh, "Director Brundes, De Park told me that you brought another good news?"

"I'm disturbing Lord Shado again. Yes, this time I bring good news again."

"Is it related to the scroll of Nese, or is it related to your negotiations with Cormanthor?"

"All of them!"

In front of Xia Duo, Brundes naturally no longer had to hide anything. He immediately placed an inconspicuous reminder at his feet on the tea table at hand, and opened it with a wave of his hand, revealing what was inside. A neatly arranged set of Nese scrolls.

"This is the set of Nese scrolls that the Seven Pagodas promised Lord Shado to keep. If nothing else happens, some of them should be sent over."

"Did the negotiation really go so smoothly? It's only happened not long ago!" Xia Duo couldn't help but wonder.

"I don't know whether it goes smoothly or not. I did not participate in the negotiations, but it is obvious that Prince Ser is much more important in the eyes of the Cormanthor elves than we expected!"

"Do you know why?" Sha Duo actually had a vague guess, but he still wanted to get a more official statement from Brundes.

It's just that even if Seven Towers knows such secret things, they may not reveal it to Brenders, and even if Brenders knows it, they may not tell him.

In the end, Chateau only gained disappointment, and Brundes replied officially that he didn't know either.

Of course, for Xia Duo, it is enough to know that the negotiations are going smoothly.

Perhaps Prince Ser is really involved in some secret, or perhaps Cormanthor wants to deal with some external dangers as soon as possible, and then devote more power to compete for the newly discovered ancient fortress over Sluvende.

No matter what the situation is, the impact is actually not big. When Shado pulls the floating city to the main plane, is Cormanso still preparing to have a real war with Sluvende in his land?

Obviously this is impossible. Even Ye Erlan and Yin Erfa Lang, who are closest to Sluwende, are unlikely to dispatch strategic forces equipped with war weapons just for the sake of an ancient fortress that they don't know exactly what is inside. Once we lose our strategic power and fall from our status as one of the five major powers, we will lose more than we gain.

Xia Duo believes that the Seven Towers may be interested in getting involved, but they will never invest key strategic forces.

But there was one thing he was curious about: Why could the Seven Towers compete with the elves' war weapons?

Xia Duo, who knew the details of the war weapons, knew that under the leadership of the high mage, or even under the personal supervision, the war weapons were far more terrifying than the descriptions in some classics.

Xia Duo guessed that either they were using the numerical advantage of the Grand Arcanist (who was hidden) to carry out a "house-changing" deterrent, or that the Seven Towers had also developed some unconventional war weapons.

The latter is actually not as difficult as imagined. Elves can do it, and humans can do it as well. In fact, there is a group in the Nese scrolls that is dedicated to the manufacture of artifacts.

Of course, the word "artifact" here needs to be put in quotation marks, because it is not the weapons or equipment used by the gods, but refers to some special creations whose effects far exceed those of conventional magic items. In essence, they should still be among the "mortal objects".

Yin Orem once mentioned that he also referred to part of the content in the "Artifact Making" set of Nese scrolls when developing war spells.
