Answer:

'Then', 'at that time'.

Step-by-step explanation:

A reported speech is when the directly quoted words of a person are retold by another person without the change in the meaning of the words. The change will occur in the way the speech is relayed, in the form it is presented.

The changes from a direct speech to an indirect speech include certain elements, like the removal of the quotation marks used in the direct speech. It also involves the change of certain words such as adverbs or the 'time' words. So, the "now" in a direct speech will be changed into "then/ at that time" in the indirect/ reported speech.
