Chapter 157: Arrange funeral

In the end, it was the Lord Epps who conceded first, put down the scroll in his hand, and looked up at his daughter, "Niya, why don't you speak when you come?"
Niya, who was already ready to speak, was shocked, but then she reacted, "Father, why do you arrange for someone to give it to me again? Isn't there a Gardner with me?"
Niya was quite puzzled. Generally speaking, the tutor would not refuse to have a large number of people under her hand, but she was different. As the lord's daughter, what could she not get? How could this be achieved by exploiting apprentices?
Some time ago, a total of three apprentices in Mage Tower became official Mage. At that time, Niya was assigned an apprentice, and she still feels very uncomfortable. But this time she was assigned another apprentice, and Niya immediately came to her father to reason.
As a father, how could Lord Epps not know his daughter's thoughts, but he also had unspeakable difficulties, and he didn't want Niya to know for the time being.
The enlightenment that Ebbock's advanced arcanist received, although not necessarily true, was enough to make Lord Epps change some plans. Take the cultivation of heirs. The original plan of Lord Epps was to take about ten years to allow Niya to gradually take over the affairs of the territory and become an arcanist.
The presence of him can ensure a smooth transition of power. The most critical of these is the authority of the Mage Tower, which takes a long time to transfer.
But now he had to plan early.
"Niya, Gardner, and Chateau are all very talented young people who will become your assistants in controlling the mage tower in the future. In addition, as long as there are new wizards with good talents, I will arrange them for you. You must learn how to Manage them."
"Father—" Niya originally wanted to complain a few words, but she didn't expect her father to arrange an apprentice for her, and her dissatisfaction immediately appeared on her face.
It’s just that Lord Epps hasn’t finished speaking yet. He doesn’t seem to see his daughter’s dissatisfaction at all, and continues:
Also, come to me every day to get familiar with the government affairs of the territory. Deduct your monthly quota."
"what?"
Niya was stunned. She was not stupid, but rather smart. When she heard her father say this, her original thoughts of complaining disappeared immediately. Instead, she was confused and uneasy.
She subconsciously asked, "Father, why is it so urgent?"
All these actions indicate that her father wants her to take over the territory as soon as possible. This is not in line with the previous plan. Why?
"Your Uncle Eberk has successfully advanced to the Arcanist level. I don't want to be too far behind. I will spend more time on magic in the future, hoping to become an archmage in my lifetime."
Lord Epps’ explanation is very common. Becoming an archmage is a prerequisite for using life extension spells. Niya also knew that she had no doubts, but just felt a sudden pressure.
It was even worse than when her father sent her to the orc battlefield a year ago. After all, she knew that she would take over the territory in the future, but she still had plenty of time.
But unexpectedly, it was suddenly ahead.
"I understand, father." Niya nodded with a firm face, and solemnly promised, "I will work hard!"
Epps felt a little unbearable, but he knew that this was something that every heir of the Saville family had to go through. Although Niya was young, her heart was quite strong.
"Go back, come to me after dinner tomorrow."
"Yes, father."
...
After Niya left, on an unmanned chair in the lord's room, a figure suddenly appeared, it was the new arcanist Ebbock of the Wizard Tower.
"Eps, are you determined?"
"Yeah." Epps nodded, then buried the first volume.
Abbock on the side didn't know what to say. If he could, he would rather not see any revelations or predictions. This kind of thing is simply a torture to anyone who knows.
But once a prophecy appears, no matter whether it is true or not, it must be dealt with.
Although he has always treated Niya as his daughter, it is obviously very out of date to be uselessly indulgent at this time.
"By the way, what are you going to do with Mrs. Patty?" Ebbock asked.
"Let her live in the mage tower for a while, so as not to let her go out and cause trouble."
As if suddenly remembering something, Lord Epps said again,
I have received news that Felbers’s son has left from Connifera. It should have come to Savile. Let him die here, Thain’s side, I have already notified, he will cooperate with you."
"Got it."
After that, the two discussed some things about the Mage Tower and the territory, and the meeting ended.
...
The next day, Xia Duo woke up from his new bedroom, the bright light made him subconsciously squint his eyes, and then immediately jumped off the bed.
The first thing he had to do was to ask Taring the time.
And being told that it was just after 4 a.m., Xia Duo realized that there was no
lights off
process on the official wizard's side at night~EbookFREE.me~ This facilitated the wizards all night long, but This is obviously inefficient. Instead, it requires a higher level of self-discipline from the wizards. Otherwise, the better the environment, the more hindrance it will be.
But on second thoughts, since there is no "light off", there must be a switch, otherwise it is always on and it is not convenient to rest.
Yesterday, Xia Duo didn't think of this at all. Now it is not too late to think about it. He immediately asked Ta Ling about some information about the residence of the mage, which is different from the apprentice stage. Now Ta Ling answers questions a lot.
Although the voice is still that voice, many questions that were not answered at all are now answered.
For example, a very general introduction room, if asked at the apprentice stage, Taring will prolong the response time as punishment, but now it is introduced directly.
Putting aside the characteristic of asking for money, the current Taring is pretty good.
Food delivery needs to be reserved in advance. Xia Duo also forgot yesterday. He first made an appointment with Taring for today's lunch and evening food, and then went to the restaurant on the first floor.
The time has not yet come to "light on", but Xia Duo discovered that the outside of the sixth floor where the mages were still bright, even on the first floor.
After all, it seems that only apprentices can enjoy the standard "eight-hour break".
...
Have you seen the mage tower at four o'clock in the morning?
Xia Duo hadn't seen it before, but when he came to the restaurant, he saw that a group of apprentices were moving out a pile of food from the kitchen and placing it in the place where the food was taken.
In addition to bread, there are also egg rolls and cheese, which is a big pot of rice. Xia Duo took a piece of food and left, except for being glanced at by a few curious apprentices, there was nothing else.
He is still dressing up as an apprentice, and he will go to the instructor only after he has to go to the material application office to get the equipment.
