Chapter 632: Brainstorming, Refugees Descending

"Teacher said the Drow triggered the 【Dragon Madness Mythallar】, controlling a large number of dragons, especially a Silver Dragon Mage Organization in the Dragonspine Mountains. Almost every member of this organization possesses Legendary strength. Only by using them as cannon fodder can they continuously break through the defense lines of Cormanthor."

Dragon Madness Mythallar—hearing this term again, Xia Duo no longer felt the slightest emotional fluctuation. Even if the existence of the Dragon Madness Mythallar was confirmed, so what? To him, it was still too far away.

However, the combination of the Dragon Disaster and the Drow threat was not far from him at all.

He hadn't expected this Dragon Disaster to be caused by the Drow. Xia Duo didn't know what to say. He glanced at Niya and, imitating her, let out a long sigh.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. But one must always face things positively; the current situation was not yet critical enough to run away immediately. Whether the Drow could even break out of Cormanthor was still a question. There was no need to despair in one's heart just yet.

"Niya, let me show you my preparations for the Dragon Disaster."

"Okay."

Niya replied, but her interest was not high. She already knew that Netheril had never encountered a Dragon Disaster in the past, and since this one involved the Drow, perhaps it wouldn't descend upon the Savile Territory at all.

What truly worried her was the Drow. She didn't know if Cormanthor could actually contain the Drow and eliminate them within its borders. If the Drow were to enter the Nether Territory, it might be a disaster that would be difficult to quell.

In the study, Xia Duo focused on introducing the Dragon Hunting Rune to Niya. Only then did Niya show a little interest. She gently traced the Mithril patterns on the palm-sized iron piece; it was smooth and seemed to be formed as one piece.

"Did Buloutuo really craft this?" Niya handed the Dragon Hunting Rune back to Xia Duo and asked curiously.

Xia Duo didn't take it. "You keep it. Buloutuo didn't just craft one. Besides the ones already deployed around the Territory, I have a few spares here."

"Then give me another one. I think it would be more convenient to convert it into a Spell."

Xia Duo took out another one and handed it to Niya. He had also had this thought, but considering that Dwarf Magic and Netheril Magic were completely different systems and there were no reference materials, starting from scratch was too time-consuming. Besides, he had more important things to do, so he hadn't put much thought into it.

Seeing that Niya was interested in researching it, he was very encouraging. When he had time, he would also study it himself.

"By the way, the Elf from the Silver Leaf Family that Lady Patti mentioned has already arrived. Do you want to see them?"

Niya didn't care much about Elves and just said casually, "No need. More Elves will be coming soon anyway."

"I want to move the Tower of Time out of the Mythallar Ruins. What do you think?" Xia Duo asked again.

Originally, this was a very ordinary decision. If it weren't for his respect for Niya, he would have had the Permission Level to move it directly. However, Niya's reaction was so intense that it almost made Xia Duo wonder if he had made some outrageous request.

"No! Don't! Don't move the Tower of Time!"

Niya seemed to have suddenly thought of something; the tone of her voice became somewhat distorted. Immediately after, Xia Duo received a notification from the Tower Spirit: he had lost the Permission Level to move the Tower of Time.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Duo was very puzzled. Although the current location of the Tower of Time was very favorable for the Daxia Territory, the Savile Territory might soon face an influx of Elf refugees. Although those refugees were called refugees, that was only relative to the Drow; there were certainly Spellcasters among them. Letting them stay with humans was definitely a ticking time bomb.

Therefore, Xia Duo wanted to move the Tower of Time to the east of the Savile Territory and establish a stronghold there. On one hand, it could accommodate the Elf refugees, and on the other, it could guard against a Drow attack.

But why did Niya disagree? And why was her reaction so strong?

"Can I trust you?" Niya's expression suddenly changed, and she asked solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo felt his scalp tingle and quickly said, "No, don't trust me."

Ha—

Niya was instantly confused by Xia Duo's behavior, and the emotion she had been brewing vanished. She rolled her eyes at him and said crossly, "I should have told you earlier, but I forgot. It's not too late to say it now—the ancestor of Savile is not dead!"

"What?!" Xia Duo couldn't believe it. "Do you mean the Great Arcanist Savil who pioneered the Savile Territory?"

Niya gave an affirmative answer.

Now Xia Duo had to believe this fact, and he quickly thought of a key question, "Then where is he? Why hasn't he shown his face even once in all these years?"

If there were a Great Arcanist in the Savile Territory, perhaps many of the difficulties encountered in the past would not have been problems at all.

Regarding this question, Niya also expressed great regret, "In the past, our ancestor was accidentally stranded in a foreign Plane and could not find the way back to the Main Plane. It wasn't until the Plane Exploration Array was officially activated that a Space-Time Beacon was established to guide our ancestor's return. Moving the Tower of Time might have unexpected consequences, which is why I didn't let you do it."

So that was it!

Although Niya didn't go into detail, Xia Duo had already imagined a long drama of an "Arcanist's Otherworldly Journey." However, that Great Arcanist Savil had been missing for nearly a hundred years; could he really appear again?

Xia Duo was somewhat skeptical, but in front of Niya, he couldn't very well say he suspected her ancestor had long since kicked the bucket. Besides, looking at the situation, the Tower of Time could not be moved.

Then where should the Elf refugees be settled?

The Daxia Territory was definitely out of the question; forest expansion was underway there. If some brainless Elf insisted he stop, should he stop or not?

What a nuisance!

"Niya, your teacher asked you to come back to prepare for the settlement of the Elf refugees. Have you considered where to place them? If this kind of thing isn't handled well, it could easily lead to big trouble!"

"Ah—I hadn't thought about that!" Niya let out a soft cry. She had been too busy worrying about the Drow attack and hadn't considered such a practical problem.

Seeing Xia Duo staring at her, Niya suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly asked back, "Then where do you think it would be better to settle them?"

Xia Duo thought for a moment and said, "I remember there are several supply points from the Savile Territory to Konnifila City. Why not settle the Elf refugees there?"

"The supply points have nothing. Would they be willing to stay there?"

"They are fleeing refugees; can they afford to be picky? Just prepare food for them. If there are Advanced Rank Spellcasters, we can invite them into the Tower of Time and provide them with better treatment; that would also make management easier."

The Tower of Time had enough space. Even with many New Apprentices recruited recently, it wouldn't be unable to house a few Elf refugees. Xia Duo believed that neither Cormanthor nor Netheril would likely allow too many Advanced Rank Spellcasters to pass through Konnifila City.

Otherwise, if trouble broke out, it would be difficult for both sides to clean up the mess.

Niya accepted Xia Duo's explanation. After discussing some details, she decided to settle the Elves at the first supply point on the way from the Savile Territory to Konnifila City.

Immediately after, this order was passed to Saier Town Mayor, and the subordinates quickly began to act.
