Arcane Lord

After explaining to Niya about purchasing the light of inspiration potion, Xia Duocai took out Niya's test paper again and started correcting and sorting it out.

He will be leaving the South Territory in the next period of time, but Niya's study progress cannot be interrupted. He needs to prepare new test papers for Niya before leaving that are enough to cover the period of his absence.

As of now, it is unknown. Niya has learned nearly three-quarters of "Promotion Encyclopedia". Of course, having learned does not mean that she has completely mastered it.

In the knowledge star map specially drawn by Sha Duo for Niya, nearly half of the star points are dim, and those are Niya's weak links.

Niya needs to review the textbook and wrong questions again, and then verify them in the next new test paper.

As for the remaining nearly a quarter, although Sha Duo did not think that Niya would be able to fully grasp it during the time he was away, he had to make relevant preparations.

It must be reflected in the next new test paper.

…

Two days later, Shado still had not received any news from Severdon about the customization of high-quality magic items, but the test paper he designed for Niya had been completed.

In addition, the date agreed with Hildalanna to trade the Light of Inspiration potion was approaching, and Shado also wanted to observe the mythical lock designed by the local distributed node after arriving in Everesca.

So he didn't wait any longer, said goodbye to Niya immediately, and took 150,000 gold coins to set foot on the teleportation circle heading to Severton.

…

Severington, Offa.

In the teleportation room exclusive to senior members, as soon as Xia Duo emerged from the teleportation circle, he felt the faint chill of late spring still lingering in the air.

Of course, it could also be psychological reasons, but when he disabled the weak elemental balance field on the robe, this feeling became more obvious.

It's now mid-June, and it's already early summer in the south. Not to mention the heat, at least you won't feel any chill.

But here in Severington, perhaps it is the continuation of last year's cold winter that came early and went late. Even at this time of year, people can't feel the arrival of summer at all.

Shado recalled it carefully, and it seemed that there was no such "little ice age" in Netheril's past history. He didn't know whether this was special last year or the beginning of a new climate period.

If it's the former, that's fine. If it's the latter, the impact will definitely be considerable.

Not to mention anything else, the sowing in spring and autumn alone is a huge blow. Xia Duo is not an expert in climate, but he also instinctively feels the impact of abnormal weather on planting.

On the southern border, last year the early arrival of winter in the Daxia Territory and the Saville Territory caused difficulties in autumn sowing. Fortunately, this year's spring was only a little later than in previous years, and summer did not even have much impact, so no trouble was caused.

In the core area of ​​Nese from the north of Rodney Territory to Severington, the climate change is even more abnormal, and the impact will definitely be worse in the south.

At this moment, although Xia Duo thought that he might be able to plunder a group of desperate landless or bankrupt citizens in this minor natural disaster, he was more wary of the possible black hands behind such changes.

Manipulating the weather is not difficult for a skilled spellcaster. At least Xia Duo can think of several ways to artificially create bad weather and thereby affect the change of seasons.

"Oh, I hope it's just an exception!"

…

After leaving the teleportation area, Sha Duo immediately visited his nominal teacher Iolum. Of course, Sha Duo has gradually regarded this respectable elder as a real teacher.

In the study room.

Xia Duo habitually handed over a newly compiled "Daxia Cookbook". As a student, he was very poor now and had to take orders outside to make money, so it would be better to give him something meaningful.

"Teacher, if you have time, you can give it to the chef in the territory to try it. I guarantee that you will definitely want to eat it a second time."

"Really? Then I'm going to give it a try!" Iolum put away the recipe and said with a smile.

He has lived for hundreds of years and has never tasted any delicious food, but he also knows that he is a student with great ideas. What he said just now is not just perfunctory, but he is really planning to find someone to try it out when he has time.

"By the way, I heard Hatchenis say that you want to help someone customize magic items? Are there any resource difficulties? If so, tell me in time and I will help you in any way I can."

"Thank you, teacher. It is true that resources have been tight recently, but the problem is not big. I can solve it myself. If necessary, I will definitely ask the teacher for help."

Xia Duo didn't say anything. If he was really desperate one day, he would definitely ask Iolum for help. After all, he was an adult, so he was not shabby.

But now he wants to try it himself.

Then, the two of them talked about the demon restriction treaty officially concluded by the Northern Alliance countries not long ago. Speaking of this, Iolum couldn't help but show a trace of anger on his face.

"Irfaran is so disappointing this time!"

"By the way, teacher, do you know who sent the elf intruder before?" Sha Duo asked curiously.

In fact, it would be better not to pursue this issue, but who made him curious, and there are channels to learn about it!

What Sha Duo didn't expect was that Iolum shook his head helplessly regarding this question, "It's not yet now. Although the elf was registered as an Ilfaran tourist in the Austrian Federation at that time, the seven The tower investigated afterwards and found that there was no trace of the elf in Ilfaran."

"Could it be that Ilfarang is deliberately covering it up?"

This is indeed possible, but Iolum still shook his head, "Ilfaran was also very shocked by this. They even allowed the Seven Towers to directly send people to enter the country for investigation. What I can tell you now is that they have basically been excluded. suspicion."

"If it's not Ilfaran, then it's basically Cormanso."

Although Sha Duo said this, at this moment he couldn't help but think of what Hildalanna had said before, that the other party had received reliable information that the intruder was from the Ilfaran faction.

At the same time, Hildalanna also said that she joined a secret society whose leader was the High Mage Cormanthor, so this judgment was probably made by Cormanthor.

After all, if it was really an intruder sent by Cormanthor, the members of the High Mage Association, who hold many secrets, would not think it was Ilfarang when they gathered, but would show off their achievements.

This is equivalent to ruling out Cormanso's suspicion.

Shado didn't think there was any need for Hildalanna to deceive him on this issue. After all, the other party and Cormanso didn't deal with her very well.

Although the possibility of disguise and acting is not ruled out, at least for now, judging from the issue of cooperation between the two parties in smuggling, this is indeed the case.

Furthermore, Hildalanna had previously wanted to instigate the identity of the elf invaders to Coman.

Now, Iolum has ruled out Ilfarang as a suspect.
