"Three work cycles. During that time, you'll need to stay here and cooperate with us."
Xida's request didn't surprise Liu Zhi. He knew it was necessary. Otherwise, he could point at a place and claim the magic tower was his, but the tower itself would have to agree.
So when a magic tower was being built, its owner had to be present, and the mage had to be involved in every step of the construction.
The Summoning Tower was no different.
