Chapter 297: Secret hand

When he came to the reception room, Chateau did not see the so-called guests, only Niya and Cecily, another female apprentice of Lord Epps, were present.
The two whispered something, and they immediately stopped when they saw Xia Duo coming over. Cecily also bowed to him slightly, which made Xia Duo feel much more refreshed.
"Cecili, you go back first, I will find you later."
"Yes!"
Cecily responded and left quickly, and gave Xia Duo a slight salute before leaving. After Cecily left, Niya didn't say a word, just staring at Xia Duo with complicated eyes.
cough--
"That- Niya? Mentor?" Xia Duo coughed and broke the deadlock first. Without Lord Epps, he felt that Niya was even more difficult to guess.
When Xia Duo called her a mentor, Niya narrowed her gaze slightly and said, "You don't need to call me a mentor in the future, call me Niya."
"okay!"
"There are two main things to come to you." But Niya changed her voice, but asked: "Do you know where the Tower of Time is now?"
"Are you lost in the relics?"
Because of Lord Epps, Niya is likely to be very sensitive to this place, and Xia Duo can only say cautiously, but what is the connection between Niya and the Lost Ruins when he asks him?
Niya added: "Daxia's development cannot be stopped. I will ask Mayor Thayn to provide you with sufficient personnel and materials."
Huh?
Xia Duo glanced at Niya in surprise, but she couldn't see anything strange from the expression on her face.
Is it because of the identity of the pioneer, or something else? Xia Duo kept speculating in her heart, but she promised quickly, "No problem, I see!"
"One more thing, a few troublesome guests will come over right away." Niya pointed to the position beside her, "Sit next to me, don't say anything, just listen."
After speaking, she seemed to think of something, and said quickly: "By the way, take out the pioneer scepter granted by Her Royal Highness! Hurry up! Here comes someone!"
Xia Duo was a little confused, but quickly took out the Trailblazer's scepter and sat next to Niya. With a crimson robe with a silver-white scepter, and Xia Duo's deliberately stern face, it looked quite back. thing.
Just a few seconds after sitting down, I heard looming conversations outside the reception room. There were about four people, and Chateau could only hear that one of them was Ebbock.
The other three should be the visitors Niya said, but I don’t know where they came from. Listening to their conversations seems to be talking about some interesting things about Seventon?
Is it from Seventon? Is it from the Austrian French Federation? Or somebody else?
Just when Xia Duo secretly guessed, people had already come in, besides Abbock, there was an old man and two middle-aged people.
what--
If it hadn't been known in advance that the visitor was a guest, and if Niya said that it was a troublesome guest, Chateau would have thought these people were friends of Ebbock.
These people, like Ebbock, were dressed in blue robes, with blue and white stars hanging on their chests, and they had long hair.
The only difference is probably that the three guests also each have a gorgeous cloak and a short scepter, while Ebbock is just a longer staff.
"My lord, Lord Chateau, these three arcanists from [Secret Hand]"
Abbock pointed to one of the middle-aged men with a slightly serious face and introduced: "Master Olins!"
The other two, among them, the old man is called Jie Lepu, and the other middle-aged man is Egbird.
Afterwards, Ebbock introduced Niya to the three arcanists-the Tower of Time, Lord Savile, and Shaduo-the Trailblazer, the Lord of Great Summer.
Of course, there is the most important thing-the ruins outside belong to the Daxia collar, and Xia Duo is Niya's husband, and the Tower of Time is right in the ruins.
After some introduction and greetings, I finally talked about the topic. As the representative of the three, Arcanist Egbold said:
"Lord Niyata, Lord Chateau, [The Hidden Hand] recently discovered that the magic net here is damaged. If it is not stopped and repaired in time, it may cause more harm."
After listening to Egbold’s words, Niya immediately knew, "Three, the mystery is located in the Daxia collar, and the Tower of Time and Daxia’s collar are the same. I have arranged for Eboke to repair it. , There will be no trouble for the three."
"It's not troublesome, how can it be troublesome! [The Secret Hand] has always been committed to maintaining the stability of the magic net, wherever there is damage, we will be there!" Egbert looked upright and seemed to feel that enthusiasm was not enough, so he said again :
"Furthermore, Mage Abbock is just a newly advanced arcanist. How can it be compared with the three of us who have experience. If the magic net here is not repaired during the riot, once it is silent, it will cost you how many times it will cost. Energy."
After speaking, Egbold looked at Ebbock, as if he wanted his confirmation.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Ebbock could only nod his head, "That's true. Your Excellency Egbald said rightly. Now the magic net locked in the ruins is still in the riot stage. It is the best time to repair it. It might be really troublesome if it calms down."
"That's it!"
Niya glanced at Xia Duo, saw his expressionless appearance, nodded in her heart, "I understand, the Tower of Time will not cause any hindrance to the actions of the three. But—"
"But what?" Eggbird asked hastily.
"I heard that [The Hidden Hand] will hire local people to guard and guard when repairing magic nets in other territories, and Daxia will provide 300 soldiers as guards for the three."
"No, you can't do this!" Before Niya finished speaking, Egbold called out with a look of horror. This is not a simple matter of employment. Hiring local people needs to be paid by Ao Neng Crystal.
The so-called Arcane Crystal ~EbookFREE.me~ is actually the crystallized Arcane Energy, which is born from the Arcanist's Arcane Fire, and each piece of Arcanian Crystal needs time to accumulate.
If you really follow the usual practice, hiring 300 people is afraid that the three of them will go bankrupt. This is absolutely impossible!
"Lord Niyata, we are all arcanists. We really don't need so many guards. I think 30 will be enough!"
On the other side, Abbock almost let out a cold sweat. He only mentioned that these three people could shed a little blood, but he didn't expect that Niya was going to swallow all the people's belt and bones in one go.
Fortunately, these three are not surly people. Otherwise, I am afraid that they are not going to turn their faces on the spot. Abbock quickly sent a message to Niya, "Their willingness to hire 30 people is far beyond my expectation. Just accept it!"
Being reminded like this, Niya also knew that she wanted to be bad, but she had already said what she had said before, and could no longer take it back, she could only say:
"Only 30 people! If the three of you still have any needs, just ask them, everything is easy to say."
"No, no need." Eggbird waved his hand quickly.
"Your Excellency Eggbird, this is a bonus service for your hiring 30 people!"
"This—" Of course, Egbald knew that the cost of hiring 30 people was too great, just to gain the grace, and inevitably gritted his teeth to accept it, especially when the opponent's mage tower was already in the ruins.
Now that he knew that there was a bonus service, Eggbird's mind became active again. He couldn't help but look at Master Olins and nodded imperceptibly when he saw him.
Knowing that Lord Daxia could not actually be the lord, he directly said to Niya:
"Lord Niyata, we hope to dig a channel from the ruins to the Wolfsburg River in the west!"
