Arcane Lord

Thinking like this, Sha Duo has slowly walked out of the teleportation room. Outside the teleportation room, Stern, the son of Lord Leisen, has been waiting for a long time.

"Lord Xia Duo, nice to meet you!"

"Master Stern, nice to meet you!"

After a brief exchange of greetings, Stern extended his hand as an invitation, pointed to the corridor outside the teleportation room, and said to Shado:

"Lord Shado, you must also know that my father lost his ability to cast spells due to the experimental accident. It was inconvenient to live in the mage tower. In addition, coupled with the blow caused by the accident itself, he rarely came to the mage tower since then. Ta, he is waiting for you outside now, please come with me!"

Sha Duo nodded and followed Stern. Along the way, he kept looking at everything in the mage tower, the apprentices and mages coming and going, just like the very common sun pattern in the teleportation room.

At the same time, Xia Duo also discovered that this mage tower did not have a tower spirit, but it was much more advanced than ordinary mage towers.

At least the performance of the energy system, roughly estimated based on the number of apprentices and full members he observed, is definitely far superior to that of the Watch Tower!

As for other aspects, Xia Duo couldn't pry too much in front of the master, but overall, the mage tower led by Leisen was at least equivalent to three or four watch towers.

According to Xia Duo's understanding, Leisen Territory has more than just a mage tower, which also shows the strength of Leisen Territory.

If we don’t take into account the extraordinary part of the Grand Arcanist’s legacy of the Tower of Time, the overall strength of the Leisen Territory is definitely far superior to that of the Saville Territory!

However, after knowing that Leisen owned a mithril mine, Xia Duo was relieved!

Can the mine boss not be strong?

…

As he got closer to the exit, Xia Duo became more and more looking forward to this meeting. In addition to looking forward to the so-called "downgrade method", he was also somewhat interested in the mithril mine.

I thought too much, and for a moment I started to worry about gains and losses. I didn’t know if this meeting would go well or not!

…

After walking out of the mage tower, Sha Duo saw the real scene of Lesen Territory for the first time. Except for those elements of faith, other aspects were not much different from the scene he imagined.

Outside the Mage Tower is a town center similar to Savile Town, and not far away is a square similar to Savile Town Central Square but slightly larger.

It is not a festival day, so there are not many people in the square. Most of them are concentrated on the southern edge, mainly small vendors and people going to the market.

To the north of the square, in addition to the mage tower, is the manor where the lord lives and works daily.

Unlike Savile Territory, which has a dedicated town office, all territorial officials in Leisen Territory work in the lord's manor. Who allows Leisen Territory to have a full-time lord!

…

"Lord Xia Duo, please come here. Father is in the reception room on the west side."

After entering this obviously elven-style manor, Stern took Shado all the way to a row of buildings on the west side of the main building.

In addition to being used as an office space for territorial officials, this place is also used by Lord Leisen to receive visitors.

Soon, Sha Duo met the long-awaited Lord Leisen here.

Completely different from the image of a sickly old man in his imagination, Lord Leisen in reality was strong, energetic, with a resolute face and sharp eyes.

In addition, he was wearing enchanted armor and had a magic sword on his waist. If Stern hadn't introduced him, Shado would have thought he was a general of the guard from Leisen Territory!

"Lord Leisen, nice to meet you!" Sha Duo greeted with a smile.

As a senior arcanist, he does not need to be so polite to an ordinary person, but basic respect is also essential for a field lord, a great arcanist apprentice, and the apprentice's father who may help him.

Furthermore, respecting others means respecting oneself, which stems from the social order of the future magical civilization that Sha Duo hopes to shape.

If he doesn't agree with it himself, how can he expect others to agree with it?

"Lord Xia Duo, nice to meet you!"

Lord Leisen's voice was quite loud, giving Xia Duo a feeling of summer sunshine, positivity, and spring breeze, without showing any signs of decadence, which made him feel good about him.

Believers of the Lord of Glory, except for those who study the law, most of them believe in sunshine and fraternity, and glorify the name of the Lord of Glory, the sun.

…

After the two parties took their seats, Theremin, Lord of Leisen, took the lead in starting the conversation. However, he did not immediately ask Shado about the purpose of his trip. Instead, he talked about the recent popular incident of liberating dwarf slaves in Netheril:

"Two days ago, I read the communique of the Sevington Council. It said that the emancipation of dwarf slaves was used to exchange interests with the Northland countries. What does Lord Shado think of this matter?"

Ask yourself what do you think?

Chateau thought for a while and thought about Leiden's attitude towards slaves in his own territory. Although it is much better now, at first he was not willing to give it the slightest chance.

As a believer in the Lord of Glory, is Lord Leisen dissatisfied with this decision of the Sevington Council?

Maybe, maybe not.

Shado did not answer directly, but took a roundabout way, "As long as liberating the dwarf slaves is in the interest of Netheril and every Netherese lord, then liberation is not necessarily a bad thing!"

"Ha ha!"

Theremin laughed twice, and then said: "My views are very consistent with Lord Shado's. You don't know that just yesterday I announced that all dwarf slaves in the territory can be promoted based on merit and are freed from slavery. The mine output exceeded the total of the previous three days in just half a day!”

"Oh? Then I would like to congratulate the Lesen Territory for achieving mithril freedom!"

"Mithril freedom?"

Theremin repeatedly recited this compound word that he had heard for the first time, and the expression on his face became more and more happy, "Yes, I have purchased the mithril refining technology from the Sevington Council. Perhaps in the near future, Leisen You can truly achieve Mithril freedom by receiving it!”

After saying that, Theremin's expression suddenly changed, and he cursed angrily: "Now that I know the mithril refining technology, I understand how much mithril was cheated by those long-eared, short winter melons in the past in Leisen! I'm really going to be angry to death. Me!"

At this moment, Stern, who had been listening in the reception room, stood up and came to Theremin, comforting him in a soft voice:

"Father, don't be angry. Now that the territory has mastered the technology of refining mithril, we will decide the price of mithril ourselves from now on. We no longer need to be angry with the elves and dwarves."

After hearing his son's persuasion, Theremin's sullen look gradually faded, and finally he laughed and said to Shado: "I'm sorry, Lord Shado, I lost my temper."

"It doesn't matter, I can understand your mood Lord Leisen."

More than just understanding, in fact, the further you go up in Netheril, the more you can feel the various tangible and intangible pressures brought by the elves. Now the elves are a little looser on the mithril issue.

Not only Lord Leisen, but also Xia Duo felt relieved.

But in the future, there are more challenges waiting for Netheril!

…

After some small talk, the relationship between Xia Duo and Lord Leisen seemed to have become much closer. Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo mentioned the main purpose of this visit——
