Arcane Lord

Dika's reply was a little slow, but Doom almost seemed to be waiting for Shado to ask. He gave a reply immediately after he was summoned, but the content of the reply was far from what Shado had guessed——

"The Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory has a field mission to investigate the traces of demons in the Langas Plain. I heard that Lord Shado's floating city is in Langas, and I would like to ask Lord Shado to help take care of it."

Doom also explained the more specific reason. In fact, the Northland Alliance's field missions are mainly conducted by teams from that country. Although this mission also has operators from outside Netheril, it is mainly Netherese people. .

Or to be more specific, the Seven Towers Mage.

Shortly after Sha Duo received Doom's summons, Badigal also summoned him to ask for help. Sha Duo had no intention of refusing, let alone Badigal's personal summons. Didn't he just use the Seven Towers before? We went to the Huifeng Mountains in the name of someone else, and now it’s time to help him return. This is a favor.

It just so happened that he was also going to visit the Time-related Magic Research Laboratory to ask in person why Dika came to see him yesterday. At this time, he could agree to Doom by the way.

…

Northland Alliance Headquarters.

Shado handed Doom a Tower of Time badge with a spell mark on it, and explained the details of how to use the badge——

"As long as you are within the Langas Plains, you can use it to communicate with Yongle City, and then summon the light of annihilation to strike. In addition, this badge also has the effect of guiding teleportation, so that the mission team will not be trapped."

"Thank you so much!"

Doom took the badge and was so excited that he could hardly speak. It wasn't that the Seven Towers couldn't come up with similar things, it was just that Chateau's floating city was located in Langas Plain and was more cost-effective.

But what Doom originally wanted was to let the floating city leave a fast transmission channel for the task team. Unexpectedly, it even had an Annihilation Light strike, which was completely beyond expectations.

But this is not the real reason why he is so excited. The real reason is that Shado mentioned that this badge can be kept forever and can be used for any mission in Netheril in the future.

This is not something the Seven Towers can provide.

Although most of the Nese people currently serving in the Northland Alliance are from the Seven Towers, in terms of their ability to mobilize the resources of the Seven Towers, they are actually far inferior to the Seven Towers members who stayed in the country.

None of the Seven Towers is an independent Mage Tower organization, but a complex interest group composed of many territories. Even Badigal, the speaker, may not be able to smoothly mobilize the various resources of the Seven Towers.

Not to mention him, a Northland League staff member who has long been away from the core.

At the same time, because of Sha Duo's approach, Doum's thoughts immediately became alive. Who said that you must listen to the Seven Towers when serving in the Northland Alliance!

Strictly speaking, all expatriates in Netheril obey the instructions from the Sevington Council, but in the past, the Sevington Council was approximately equal to the Seven Towers.

But now it is the era of the New Covenant. The Seven Towers can no longer fully control the Severnton Parliament. And these expatriates now have a layer of Seven Towers marks on their original identities. How big are other places and ordinary personnel? What's the difference?

After all, Seven Towers now understands that it is impossible to use its own resources to support expatriates who should be supported by the collective parliament.

It's just that they still maintain the habit of giving orders in the past, which has caused dissatisfaction among many expatriates, including Doom.

Shado didn't think much about Doom's overly excited attitude. After explaining some precautions for using the Tower of Time badge, he went directly to the Time-related Magic Research Laboratory.

…

Arriving at the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, Xia Duo randomly picked up a trainee researcher on the road and asked, "Is Researcher Dika here today?"

"Yes, it's in Laboratory No. 4."

"Got it, thank you."

Knowing the exact location, Xia Duo rushed directly to Laboratory No. 4. Laboratory No. 4 was one of the earliest laboratories built here. At the beginning, the resources provided by the Northland Alliance were somewhat behind, and the laboratory specifications were also somewhat backward. , not as good as those built later.

Although it was renovated later, the initial space was limited, and the room for further improvement was also very limited. For example, the current Laboratory No. 4 was transformed into a place dedicated to dangerous experiments.

Xia Duo didn't expect Dika to be there, but since he came over, Xia Duo didn't have the habit of walking back.

Arriving at the door of Laboratory No. 4, after many verifications, the door slowly opened. As soon as Xia Duo entered, he saw the busy trainee researchers and Dika, who was holding his chin in thought.

He walked over and waved his hand in front of Dika twice. Only then did Dika react and looked up at Xia Duo, his eyes full of surprise:

"Consultant Xia Duo, why are you here?"

"You're still asking me why I'm here. Didn't you go to my place yesterday?"

"I remembered this. The Lingsi network efficiency was extremely low yesterday. I asked other people that you were on temporary leave, so I went to your place to have a look. If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"The day before yesterday, I was temporarily entrusted by the Seven Pagodas to go to the Gray Peak Mountains to investigate the mithril mine there. Yesterday was also considered a holiday. Now that I'm back, the Lingsi network has returned to normal. Why don't you give it a try?"

"okay!"

Dika responded subconsciously, and then realized that Sha Duo had come to talk about this in person. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "How can I ask Consultant Sha Duo to come in person to inform me? I can just tell him directly on the Lingsi Network."

"The main reason is that you went to my place yesterday, Dika, so you wanted to come over and explain it in person. I informed the others directly on the Lingsi network."

After saying that, Xia Duo was ready to leave. As long as others were in Everesca, they usually didn't have to stay in the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

Seeing this, Dika quickly stopped Xia Duo, "Consultant Xia Duo, I have something to ask you for help. Only you can help me!"

"What's up?"

"It's about Linsi network quota. What I'm currently studying is simulating the fog environment in the laboratory. If successful, maybe the two fog areas that have been discovered can be safely lifted!"

"This!"

In fact, Xia Duo has long known what Dika's research project is, but the question is - which researcher's project in the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory is not important?

If every researcher comes to him privately to request more Lingsi network quotas, do we still need him to conjure computing resources out of thin air?

Xia Duo does have a lot of spare computing power resources now, but it is used to open a small stove for Niya. He occasionally uses it himself. Once this opening is opened, he has no doubt that other researchers will use it. Came over to ask.

After being together for so long, Sha Duo got to know Dika relatively well. Although this guy was a high mage, he was different from ordinary elves. He focused on research and rarely cared about other things.

In other words, high-ranking mages who can accept the heavy inspections and join the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory basically have this kind of character, which is more in line with Xia Duo's wishes.

But that doesn't mean Chateau will make an exception for them.

It would not be good to just refuse directly. After thinking about it, Xia Duo told Dika, "The Lingsi network quota has been determined for a long time. Even I can't change it in a short time. If I move it some for you, there will be fewer other researchers.

"But I have a suggestion. You can apply to increase the number of researchers, whether formal or trainee. As long as the scale of Lingsi Network becomes larger, the quota allocated to each researcher will also increase.

"In addition, I will also find ways to optimize the network overhead to provide everyone with the best user experience."
