Arcane Lord

On the way back, Xia Duo suddenly found that the atmosphere in the town was a bit weird. There were suddenly many patrolling soldiers in the East District, and all the intersections were blocked.

Even those who saw Xia Duo, who looked like a mage, asked a few questions, and other people were even more forbidden to move around freely.

When he just came, there was not such a big commotion. How come it happened in a blink of an eye? Xia Duo felt very strange. After walking half a street, he still wanted to find someone to ask.

Just as he was looking for a target to ask, a familiar figure appeared in his sight. It was Gib, Xia Duo's companion during the Orc War.

Xia Duo's eyes lit up, and he quickly greeted him, "Captain Gib, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Mage Xia Duo?!" Gib was also surprised to see Xia Duo, and what surprised him even more was that Xia Duo's outfit at the moment already showed that he was a formal mage.

How long has it been!

"Master Shado, Wu Ke just told me some time ago that he and you carried out a mission together and were rewarded for it! He is very grateful to you."

"Really? I just happened to be there that time." Shado was modest for a moment, and then returned to the topic. He pointed at the soldiers on the street and asked, "What are you doing?"

Gib turned around and ordered his soldiers to leave first, and then whispered: "The superiors want to arrest someone."

"Arrest someone? Who is arresting? Why is there such a big fuss?"

"People from the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, it is said that they also have mages!"

Gib revealed a few words, and then hurried away to chase his soldiers, while Shado slowed down his pace, thinking while walking.

The name of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce is not unfamiliar, and Shado's most intuitive impression of it is the scene of the supervisor whipping the orc slaves when he passed by the port a few days ago.

I didn't expect that it would be rounded up in just a few days. Shado immediately thought of the death of Firbers. If it wasn't for this incident, what else could have caused the territory to suddenly make a big fuss about a foreign chamber of commerce?

But Nia's words in the morning were still lingering in his ears, asking him to persuade Mrs. Patty to give up the investigation. How come he arrested someone himself in the blink of an eye?

Or, it has nothing to do with Ferbers?

Xia Duo was a little confused. It was not uncommon for the higher-ups to make any decisions on the spur of the moment, and the biggest relationship between this matter and him was probably that the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce was dealt with, and he would applaud!

However, any foreign chamber of commerce has a force behind it. Isn't the Savile Territory afraid of any backlash since it is so tough? Xia Duo secretly thought about the impact of this matter on the territory.

But he was just a newly promoted mage. Even if he was barely related to the lord, this matter was not something he needed to worry about.

What he really cared about was whether this matter would affect him. Now Xia Duo had just upgraded his authority and was in a state of rapid development. Moreover, he had been tied to the Tower of Time and Savile Territory.

He least wanted any accidents to happen, whether it was himself or the surrounding environment.

...

With a little doubt, Shado returned to the Mage Tower. For everything in the outside world, he could only choose to believe in the Lord's choice and the way of survival of a territory that has existed for nearly a hundred years.

The next thing he could do was to improve himself as much as possible. Of course, he was not going to give up the arcane competition. There were only four people in the territory participating. As long as the performance was a little bit decent, there should be no shortage of rewards.

The cost-effectiveness was quite considerable, and it didn't matter if he spent a little time.

Shado didn't know the specific rules of the arcane competition. The so-called preparation was just to look up some books about local customs in the library.

There were introductions to various arcane competitions above. As long as you have a general idea in your mind, it won't be too late to train hard when the rules come out.

After returning to his residence from the library, Shado plunged into the world of magic. The method of making the [Steam Ray] scroll was about to be born, and he couldn't wait.

...

Just when Shado was working hard to study the application and transformation of spells, Aberk, who had become an arcane master, had led people to control all members of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, including slaves.

There was almost no resistance during the whole process. The two low-level mages hired by the Chamber of Commerce surrendered as soon as they saw Aoneng, and also helped control several Chamber of Commerce managers who were about to escape.

"The rest will be temporarily controlled in the Chamber of Commerce. By the way, send the one called Harvey to the Mage Tower for me."

The previous words of Aberk made everyone in the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce feel relieved, thinking that Lord Savile would not do anything extreme, but the latter sentence made them nervous.

Especially Harvey, if he was not controlled by magic, he would almost collapse to the ground and be sent to the Mage Tower. This sounds normal in normal times, but in this case, it is almost equal to tragedy.

Harvey didn't know what was waiting for him there, but he thought it was not a good treatment. He couldn't move his body, so he could only desperately beg for mercy with his eyes.

But Aberk didn't care about the eyes of a prisoner. After checking the Chamber of Commerce's residence, he didn't find any useful information. Aberk could only return to the Mage Tower and wait for the Lord to come back.

See if he has any new information.

…

The Eastern Forest generally refers to the forest east of Netheril that connects to the Nether Territory. Further east of the Eastern Forest is still a forest—a forest that is far more vast and more exquisite than the Eastern Forest.

This is the Cormanthor Forest, where the Elven King's Court is located. Of course, the Cormanthor Empire now rules this vast territory.

The Elf King's Court has still become a place where the hermits, exiles, and losers of the struggle gather together for warmth. If it were not for the intervention of God and the strong opposition of some high-level mages, King Mian would have already ordered the expulsion of the Elf King's Court.

Under the high tower, in a quiet courtyard built by entwined trees, cups and plates were scattered. It seemed that a banquet had just been held here, and most of the guests had already left.

A handsome elf left the main seat and walked towards the pavilion not far from the courtyard. The trees actively opened their branches for him, and flowers bloomed under his feet.

When he arrived at the pavilion, a temporary woven wooden seat appeared beside him. When he sat down, the seats swayed slowly, echoing the rhythm of the wind.

Not long after, another elf came over. Without waiting for the branches of the trees to part, he waved them away. Compared to the one who was sitting, this elf was much ruder.

However, this kind of rudeness is only for elves. For humans, it is still very beautiful.

"Orlando, you are taking your time. Our friends have just sent news that humans are definitely going to open up the Green Bead Forest, but there are no clues about the Stardew Scepter yet. Aren't you anxious?"

Although the elf's words later contained blame, the elf's cadence sounded like he was singing a beautiful song.

"Fenovita, don't worry." Orlando raised his finger and pointed at the seat opposite, "Sit down!"

A wooden chair quietly appeared. After Fenowita sat down, a flower bud hung from the back of the chair. It slowly opened and turned into a flower-shaped wine glass, which fell into his hand.

The amber wine trembled slightly and exuded a natural fragrance, which instantly dispelled Fenowita's irritable mood.
