Arcane Lord

On the other side, Sha Duo and others had just crossed the Wolfburg River from the stone bridge. They were not aware of Master Warren's previous prying eyes. However, when they saw the west gate of Savile Town, Sha Duo knew that he had made the right bet. Sure enough, I didn’t meet the mysterious person.

Although the town gate was tightly closed at this time, Xia Duo and others breathed a sigh of relief. The west gate was not the passage they wanted to take.

The south gate is it!

After some simple questioning, the south gate guard opened a crack in the door for Xia Duo and his party. Back in town, Xia Duo rushed to the town hall without stopping.

Fortunately, it was not too late now. The guard of the town office who had changed his shift heard that Xia Duo had found out the cause of the goblin's abnormal movements. He did not need Xia Duo to take the initiative to speak, so he invited Xia Duo and his party into the town office. .

Soon, a rush of footsteps came. It was the steward that Xia Duo had seen during the day. "Master Xia Duo, what did you find? Is it related to these two villagers?"

Although the steward was doubtful, his attitude was much better, and the look he looked at Xia Duo was no longer scrutinizing.

"It has little to do with these two villagers, but they may be insiders."

Xia Duo first explained Old Hank and his son, and then introduced what he discovered near the olive grove, "The olive grove and not far to the north of the olive grove were arranged with unknown magic that can attract goblins and drive goblins. There are also things on it. There is camouflage magic, but now that I have removed the camouflage magic, you can just send any mage apprentice to find the abnormality."

"good!"

There was a hint of joy in the steward's eyes. For such an easy-to-verify question, he believed that Xia Duo would not lie to him, and he had previously suspected that the goblin's changes might be related to magic. However, magic-related matters in the territory were under the control of the mage tower, except for the town office. Posting tasks comes with almost no permissions.

It would be good if the lord could be contacted. As an important industry in the territory, the olive grove is within the monitoring range of the mage tower. However, recently the lord has been unable to be contacted. If there were not a fixed channel for task release, the town office would almost have to contact the lord. The mage tower has lost contact.

Now that we know the reason, the solution is very simple. The steward looked at Xia Duo and suddenly asked: "I wonder if Master Xia Duo can remove those unknown magics? If possible, I will apply for an increase in the task reward."

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless. This guy was really good at calculating. If the apprentice could solve the problem, maybe a dozen or twenty gold coins would be enough to get rid of it. But if he wanted to find a formal mage, he wouldn't know how many gold coins he would need.

For Xia Duo, it would be nice to make some money, but he really wasn't sure how to remove the two unknown magics, so there was nothing he could do about it.

"I've seen those two magic spells. They are at least level 2. I'm not sure how to remove them. And I advise you not to find an apprentice to try them. You might harm others."

"Ring 2?"

The steward had a pretty good understanding of the basics of magic. When he heard that it was at least level 2, he almost subconsciously wanted to give up. Anyway, there wasn't any big trouble happening now. All he had to do was send someone to clean up the goblins every day.

But then I thought about it, the lord was away, there was a problem in the olive grove, but it was never solved. When the lord showed up, someone would have to take the responsibility.

Thinking like this, the steward even ignored the second ring mentioned by Xia Duo. This was not something that ordinary apprentices could judge, but he quickly realized it.

"Level 2?" The same words were repeated twice, but they didn't mean the same thing. The steward looked at Xia Duo in surprise, "Sir, are you an official mage?"

An official mage takes on an apprenticeship? The steward's mind was a bit lost.

"I have indeed become an official mage, but the promotion rights in the mage tower are not that simple. There are also territorial tasks!" Sha Duo said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to admitting that he was an official mage. Not only was the manager very surprised, but Wu Ke, who was familiar with Sha Duo, even opened his mouth.

"Xia Duo—no, Master Xia Duo, I didn't know you were already an official mage."

"Uk, my friend, you don't have to be like this, just call me Sha Duo." Sha Duo's attitude was very kind.

When an official mage said this to an ordinary person, Uk almost cried with emotion. He finally had a mage friend!

This is a story that can only be found in adventurer legends!

And the manager's attitude changed again, from being dull at the beginning to being enthusiastic. The speed of this transformation was so fast that it was hard for Xia Duo to accept it.

However, although the steward was enthusiastic, he was not flattering. After confirming that Xia Duo did not want to accept the task, he immediately signed the word "completed" on Xia Duo's task certificate and stamped it.

"Lord Xia Duo, I will give you feedback in time at the Mage Tower, but you can receive the mission reward with this mission voucher."

Xia Duo took the mission voucher and nodded. Regarding the issuance and completion of missions, the Mage Tower has its own set of procedures. For him personally, the mission is over now, and he does not need to worry about the rest.

After saying goodbye to Uk, Sha Duo returned to the Mage Tower under the cover of night.

…

Lying in bed at night, Xia Duo summarized the gains and losses of the day. First, he provoked a mysterious person, which was not necessarily cost-effective, but he also obtained the progress of the promotion mission, a disguise magic, and some information about the unknown magic.

All this only took half a day. If the subsequent tasks were as efficient, he would soon be able to meet the requirements for the tasks required by the official apprentice mage authority.

The promotion task that Sha Duo learned about requires about 1,000 gold coins, that is, 1,000 gold coins are obtained by completing the territory tasks issued by the mage tower. Generally speaking, this takes at least a year.

For most ordinary people, the normal process is three years of ordinary apprenticeship, which cannot be converted into a full-time job, but they also learn a lot. Most young people in Savileland have this experience.

For some people who are slightly talented, it will take three years to become a regular apprentice, and then at least two or three years to become a formal mage. If everything goes well, a formal mage in his 20s will still have a bright future.

Moreover, they have already completed the territory tasks before becoming official mages. As soon as they level up, their authority will be immediately promoted.

But these are not applicable to those with higher talents. For example, Edrich's brother Adrian became an official mage in just one year. This extremely rare situation even made the lord come forward to accept him as a student.

Now Xia Duo is in a similar situation. Although he is a bit older, he is progressing very quickly. If he could not contact the lord now, Xia Duo might have obtained an independent research laboratory!

Even if the authority is promoted in advance, the territory task still cannot be escaped.

Chateau was very annoyed by such a rule, but if he thought about it from another perspective, he might want more than Lord Saville. A person's position determines his thoughts and practices.

"well--"

Although Xia Duo was very dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it. He was only a level 1 mage now. To the common people, he might be an unattainable master mage, but to the lords, that's all.
