Arcane Lord

Perhaps she heard Xia Duo's thoughts. That night, Elise suddenly visited and gave Xia Duo a task——

"Reliable information has been received from above that the Cormanthor elves are preparing to plan a major search. For the safety of the headquarters, we must force them to disperse their forces.

"Tomorrow I will send you to the border of Comanso. Your task is to cause as much damage as possible within them. The bigger the noise, the better. You need to persist for at least ten days. I will contact you after ten days."

When Xia Duo heard the content of this mission, he felt that there was something wrong with it. It was true that he was a senior arcanist, but "McCard" was indeed an ordinary high-level mage.

For him, this mission was no different than sending him to death, and the most important thing was that he was not assigned any teammates. Could this be another test?

Seemingly seeing the suspicion in Sha Duo's heart, Elise gave another very reasonable explanation: "This mission is mainly to delay and distract the opponent's strength. Apart from you, other mission teams will also disperse.

"And this mission does not require results. As long as we can still be contacted after ten days, there will be a guaranteed point. If you are worried, you can also find a corner to hide after leaving the base."

This is 100% a temptation!

Shado knew that "Mecard" himself hated Cormanthor very much, and he also had a high sense of identity and belonging to the Arcane Empire and the Trial of Vengeance.

Dissatisfaction with one's own situation does not deserve this kind of recognition and belonging.

Elise is also very clear about this.

So if Xia Duo doesn't create a big scene in this mission, even if he returns to the base ten days later, he will most likely be treated as a spy!

Thinking of this, Shado immediately knew how to answer, "Don't worry, sir, McCard will do his best to complete this task!"

In fact, this task is beneficial to Xia Duo, which means that he does not need to guard three teammates and can move freely.

As for big scenes, big scenes for high-level mages are not difficult to handle for senior arcanists.

And more importantly, as long as he does not fall into the mystery, he is confident to escape even if he encounters a high mage.

…

Early the next morning, Sha Duo and five members of another task force under Elise were teleported out of the base one by one.

Xia Duo was ranked last, maybe because he was suspicious. He always felt that Elise's arrangement had some deep meaning, but now he just kept the same to cope with the changes.

…

Coming to the surface, Shado roughly determined the direction and found that he was near the Wolf God Mountain, which corresponds to the south of the Green Bead Forest in the southern border of Netheril, the main plane. (Daxia leads south)

Going east from here is the Listal Forest, which is Cormanso.

The mission lasted for ten days, so Shado was not in a hurry. What he was more concerned about now was what Elise mentioned last night, "Cormanso is preparing to conduct a big search."

In fact, the approximate location of the headquarters of the Revenge Trial Division is not highly confidential. Many people including "McCard" know it. It is even part of the academy's education——

The headquarters is beneath the ruins of the empire!

In the memory of "McCard", the Cormanthor elves' search for the remnants of the empire has not stopped for nearly a hundred years, but there has never been a large-scale search for the headquarters.

In other words, it appeared, but "McCard"'s authority was not enough to understand it.

But now, "McCard" has been informed, and perhaps the situation is already very critical.

Xia Duo decided to visit the Severton ruins first, lest there would be a big battle and the ruins would be completely shattered and nothing could be harvested.

Although he knew that the Arcane Empire had been destroyed for nearly a hundred years, the Revenge Tribunal or other possible resistance organizations must have searched the Severnton ruins, but he was still unwilling to search without actually doing so.

Perhaps the resurrection spell can be found in the library of a certain college or in a corner of the Resurrection Department!

Anyway, with the portable space, his search efficiency is definitely higher than others!

…

Do what you say, but before that, Shado still needs to disappear from the "eyes" of Elise or other possible observers.

After a burst of light and shadow distortion, Xia Duo transformed himself into an elf, then used the flying technique to fly towards the east at high speed.

The flight lasted nearly two hours, and finally he stopped in front of a tall, thick, leafy ancient tree, which was the boundary marker of the mystery provided by the Revenge Trial Division.

After passing this ancient tree, one enters the Great Mystery Lock System of Cormanthor. With the current hostile relationship between the two parties, it is difficult for a mere light and shadow apparition to escape the automatic detection of the Mystery Lock.

——[Mystery Lock Invasion Technique]!

Xia Duo decisively cast this [Department of Revenge Judgment] field standard spell. During the long struggle, both the Imperial Remnant and Cormanthor learned a lot from each other, and both had knowledge of each other's strengths. The method of restraint.

This [Mystery Lock Invasion Technique] is the safest way to enter the Mystery Lock range that the Revenge Trial Division discovered at great cost.

In contrast, Cormanthor has also found many ways to deal with the repeated resurrections of the empire's remnants. Whether it is blocking the soul summons after death or negative energy erosion before death, it can lead to failed resurrection.

This really corresponds to the saying - "War is the best catalyst for technological progress"!

…

After casting the [Mysterious Lock Invasion Technique], the phantom of the elf on Sha Duo was distorted again and seemed to become more real, but in fact the flaws could still be distinguished with the naked eye.

[Mystery Lock Invasion Technique] has nothing to do with whether it transforms into an elf or not. Even if Xia Duo remains his original appearance, it will not affect the use of this spell.

Its real function is to mislead Mysuo's automatic judgment, modifying human information into elves, but entering the Mysuo range with a human appearance. Even if Mysuo does not respond, the elves who see it will know that an enemy is coming.

However, everything Shado has done so far is to mislead possible observers - Elise, or someone higher up.

What he has done so far is still in line with the normal action pattern of a revenge judge, but when he enters the scope of the Mystery Lock, everything is different.

Detection spells from the outside aimed at the inside of the Mystic Lock will trigger the Mystic Lock alarm, and Cormanso will definitely be aware of it. Therefore, only at this time does Chateau have been cut off from the sight of the Revenge and Trial Division.

Next, it's time for him to take action!

He was seen imitating the posture of the elf, jumping up and down in the forest, and in a blink of an eye he was submerged deep into the forest. However, he only entered the range of the Mystery Lock for less than 500 meters, then changed directions and returned to the boundary of the Mystery Lock.

Before leaving the scope of the mystery lock, Xia Duo thoughtfully blessed himself with multiple spells to avoid detection and mislead detection, and then disappeared, and then flew towards the northwest at high speed.
