Chapter 2510: Expanding the Right to Speak
It was not just Huo En who had doubts; Yinaole and Saville were also very puzzled. Yinaole himself was a Priest of the Lady of Mysteries, and although Saville had been exiled in the past due to Divine Punishment, it was precisely because of that that he had a deeper understanding of the great power of gods.
In Xia Duo's current state, Holy Power was the best healing method; they truly did not understand why Niya would refuse it.
Regarding this, Niya explained it this way: "Xia Duo has recovery measures established at the Tower of Time. He only just told me after he woke up that he can slowly recover as long as he returns to the Tower of Time. Additionally, he is busy with daily affairs and cannot stay in Seventon for long, and the Administrator of his Territory is a Radiant Priest who can come over every day to treat Xia Duo."
This reason was not entirely sufficient, but it was enough to persuade Yinaole and Saville. As for Huo En and Badijiaer, there was actually no need to persuade them much; giving any random reason was enough to dismiss them.
……
Soon, with the return of Yinaole and Badijiaer, the news of Xia Duo's awakening spread throughout all of Seventon. Except for a very small number of people, most people held a sympathetic attitude toward victims who had no conflict of interest with them.
Not to mention that Xia Duo's reputation in Seventon had always been good; many people felt a sense of empathy regarding this assassination incident. Now that Xia Duo had awakened, they felt as if they themselves had come back to life.
At the same time, the news that the assassin was a Demon Descendant naturally spread. Originally, the Netherese might not have had much of a feeling about Demon Descendants, but having experienced the Eriwen Ascension Ritual attack incident and the Xia Duo assassination incident in succession, the Netherese finally had a more intuitive and profound understanding of this sub-race that had suddenly appeared in the minority's field of vision in recent years.
Demon Descendants are not demons that can perfectly disguise themselves as other races!
It is not just as simple as Demon Bloodline. Not many Netherese have truly seen Demon Descendants, but those who have seen demons are not in the minority. During the Drow War a few years ago, many Netherese went to the Underdark to support Dan Zuo.
"The Tower side has already agreed to open the Tianshui Three Planes in advance. Additionally, Yinaole has not yet given up on joining the New Covenant, but after this incident, it is almost impossible for them to join."
……
I am prepared to let Niya act as my proxy for my voting rights in the Saville Council. As for whether Yierlan should be made public, Xia Duo has not asked yet, but for myself, I still hope that Yierlan will be made public.
"There is some, but following the signing of the New Covenant, the order of Netheril will prevail. I am not planning to go out while staying in Nan Jing for a short time, so there is actually no major impact."
But except for Yinaole, Xia Duo has not seen anyone in these two days. Today is the second time Yinaole has come to the Tower of Time in these two days. Xia Duo's body is lying in a translucent, liquid-filled pod, and he only uses a Projection to meet with Yinaole.
Speaking of this, Yinaole subconsciously glanced at Xia Duo, "Of course, you don't count. Your kind of talent has long exceeded the scope of talent itself."
The number of Arcanists is actually the "shares" of the Saville Council. With more than twenty appearing in the Tianshui Three Planes all at once, if Xia Duo wants his influence in the Tower of Time not to be weakened, increasing his own Arcanists and winning over others are both good choices.
Xia Duo did not want to continue on this topic, so he naturally changed the subject, "And Teacher probably doesn't know yet, Niya is already an Arcanist!"
And on the other side.
【Xiaoxiang App search "Spring Gift" for new users to receive 500 book coins, old users receive 200 book coins】 "Teacher is too kind. I know what my own situation is. If it weren't for the Bloodline Awakening that granted a longer lifespan, and my use of the Projection Plane to smuggle time, I would have long since ceased to be in this young appearance."
Truly speaking of talent, Xia Duo is actually not as good as Niya, or even as good as most of the high-level Mages already present in Netheril, but Xia Duo's acquired learning ability and learning methods are far stronger than those people, which is why it created the illusion that Xia Duo is also a genius.
At this time, two days had passed since Xia Duo "woke up." In these two days, Elder Xierdalanna of the Yinaole Gaoshu Elder Council requested a meeting many times, and Huo En of the Tower also rushed to Chang'an City many times.
Of course, the fact that the clue to the Demon Descendant assassin was broken within Yinaole territory also cast a lingering shadow over this incident. As things stand now, it is far from over.
They had seen with their own eyes the chaos and evil of demons; even words like cruel and violent were not enough to describe them. In this atmosphere, when the Northland Alliance sent out an announcement regarding the thorough investigation and suppression of Demon Descendants, the people of Netheril were suddenly filled with joy and inspiration.
Introducing one's own people, besides increasing the influence of the Tower of Time in the Council, is also a stimulus to other Mage Tower organizations and other Territories, hoping that these organizations and Territories will get rid of backward, conservative ideas as soon as possible and actively Popularize Magic.
"Opening the Tianshui Three Planes in advance is the proper thing to do. As for Yinaole—" Xia Duo snorted coldly, "The clue to the Demon Descendant assassin was broken in Yinaole. If I were a Yinaole Elf, I would have been too ashamed to show my face long ago. To think they still want to join the New Covenant, it is truly wishful thinking!"
"I originally thought it might take a few more years, but I didn't expect Niya's talent to be so outstanding. It is rare even in all of Netheril."
If possible, Xia Duo would rather lie flat and live off his wife, or rather, his current efforts are also so that he can lie on the train of civilization development in the future to approach the future he wants at a higher speed.
Due to the unexpected situation of Niya suddenly becoming an Arcanist, some of Yinaole's original plans needed to be adjusted. He told Xia Duo:
Xia Duo still did not hide his attitude toward Yinaole. Of course, this was mainly in front of Yinaole; there is no problem being frank with one's own people. Furthermore, it was another reminder for Yinaole to value his attitude. At this moment, suddenly hearing that Niya was also an Arcanist, even though Yinaole had psychological expectations, he was still a little surprised. Although Niya was not as exaggerated as Xia Duo, becoming an Arcanist in just a few years in the eyes of outsiders, she was still a rare, talented person in Netheril capable of becoming an Arcanist before the age of thirty.
"Does it have an impact on Spellcasting ability?"
The reason for saying this was also considering that he is currently "injured," his external deterrent power has decreased, and after the New Covenant is signed, the influence of Arcanists will rise sharply, and it will have more moral authority.
Of course, even by then, Xia Duo's existing first-mover advantage is not something that others can easily catch up to. Niya should be able to, but Niya is Xia Duo's wife; who would be jealous that their own wife is more talented than themselves?

"Teacher, there is really no need to send things over anymore. I am recovering very well now, it is just that my energy is still somewhat insufficient. I will recover slowly; after all, it is an injury to the Soul, so I never thought it could recover very quickly."
In the future, with the popularization of education, not only will the teaching content be perfected, but the teaching methods will also be perfected. The progress speed of those true geniuses will not be something Xia Duo can compare to.
