Arcane Lord

So far, he already owed Mrs. Patty's Liaton Chamber of Commerce thousands of gold coins, and would owe more in the foreseeable future.

Even if the sacred contract is not considered, Xia Duo himself has a bottom line, and he still has to pay back what he deserves.

As for Hans, Flash Gold, and Slavin Chamber of Commerce, since cash settlement is required, Shado also needs to prepare cash. The only way he can raise cash now is to sell the scroll to the Mage Tower or borrow it from the Liaton Chamber of Commerce.

For the time being, Xia Duo still prefers the former. This is a loophole in the contract. He cannot sell scrolls to other chambers of commerce or merchants, but the Mage Tower is not a chamber of commerce or a merchant.

…

Tower of Time, material application office.

Here, Sha Duo surprisingly met several mages, and their purpose was the same as Sha Duo's, which was to sell scrolls.

The news that Savile Land was going to open up the Green Bead Forest had spread a few months ago, in order to encourage the members of the Tower of Time to make the scrolls in the acquisition list.

The lord has specially opened related tasks. For example, Shaduo can use the sale of scrolls to offset the previous promotion task indicators, and others can also use the sale of scrolls in exchange for the exchange rights for certain magic knowledge.

As long as an intermediate mage does a few fewer experiments every day, the spells he saves will be comparable to all the spells of a beginner mage.

After collecting the exchange voucher for 1,000 gold coins, Xia Duo exchanged a few words with these enthusiastic mages before returning to his residence.

Next, what he has to do is to wait for news about the development team of the Saville Territory and prepare for the development of the Great Xia Territory.

The scroll must be continued. It is almost the only way for Xia Duo to make money at the moment, so he cannot let it go easily.

And even if he has money, Shado will most likely not stop. After all, scrolls can make up for the caster's lack of spells. Perhaps making scrolls is the ultimate daily routine of every mage.

…

Three days later, at the edge of the Green Pearl Forest.

Thousands of young people took the axes, hatchets and other tools assigned above and began to clear the plants on the edge of the forest. There were people in the rear responsible for transportation and patrols, creating a busy scene.

Going south from the cleaning position, several foreign mages each led hundreds of soldiers deep into the forest to clean up any threatening creatures they encountered——

Timberwolves, bears, hyenas, goblins, giant rats, bats, snakes and more.

But even if there were no creatures that were not a threat to humans, these soldiers would drive them south so that they would not affect the cleanup work at the rear.

And on the branches of a tall tree that a human soldier had just passed by, two elves watched all this silently, and one of the younger ones said angrily:

"I hear the forest crying! These damn evil creatures!"

"Carrick, calm down! Don't let emotions control your mind! These humans are disrespectful to the forest and will definitely receive backlash from the forest!"

As if to confirm his words, a human soldier not far away suddenly hugged his legs and started wailing, but he stopped making a sound after a few screams.

Elf Carrick seemed very happy and asked quickly: "Captain, did you do it?"

"No, this is the punishment of the forest. Let's go to the next place."

After saying that, the elf captain jumped to another tree. Behind him, the elf Carrick also jumped over very flexibly and lightly.

…

The top of the Tower of Time.

Now Niya was sitting behind the desk, holding a communication instrument in her hand. She asked the front in the voice of Lord Epps, but the following news made her frown.

After interrupting the communication, Niya picked up a document on the table, drew a few strokes on it with a pen, and then left the chair and came to the side of Lord Epps.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said: "Father, the soldiers in front have suffered many casualties. Do you think it's——"

"What is it?" Lord Epps suddenly stared at Niya, "Are you questioning my decision?"

"No." Niya quickly explained, "Father, I just don't think it's necessary to be so radical, and no one is forcing us to open up."

Niya actually softened her heart. Territory soldiers were not just cold numbers. They were also living people, and there were families behind them waiting to protect them.

well--

Epps sighed softly, stood up, took out a stack of parchment from the bookshelf, and put it in Niya's hand, "Look!"

He has great expectations for his daughter. Niya is very talented in every sense of the word, but after all, she is still too young and needs to be tempered.

Niya took the paper, which contained some information below the surface, such as the possibility of someone coveting the territory behind Fairbus's death, the hostility that might be encountered after turning to the princess, etc.

There are also some unconventional methods in the territory, such as the person in charge of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce in Savile Territory who accidentally fell into the water during the orc wave last year, a businessman who was preparing to transfer assets to Conifera City but unexpectedly died of illness, etc.

Niya's eyes widened. She had never thought that her father, who had always been just and majestic, had such a side. Having grown up in the Mage Tower since she was a child, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Lord Epps continued: "The development of the territory is in line with the development plan of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Since we have already invested in the princess, we must show something, and those who covet the territory will have scruples after seeing it."

Of course, what Epps did not say is that apart from these, the most important thing is to test the elf mages in the forest, and compared to this, the others are secondary.

With such intense development of the forest, if the elf mage really wants to take action, he will also send a few foreign mages there. Let's see what happens next!

Looking at Niya's thoughtful look, Epps added: "I will ask Bergat to come see you tomorrow. Also, from now on, all orders are not allowed to use my voice."

Epps was determined to push Nia up. Bergat was the president of the Savile Land Adventurer Guild and also his follower.

But Bergat's true identity is Epps's eyes that secretly monitor the situation in the territory, and the assassin who solves his troubles.

Magic can indeed do many things that ordinary people cannot do, but there are also many things that magic cannot do, at least not with Epps's magical ability.

By handing Bergat into Niya's hands, Epps can rest assured that even if there is an accident, it will not affect the normal inheritance of the territory.

In addition to the handover of personnel, there are also some secrets. Once he dies unexpectedly, the tower spirit will take over.

With his worries at ease, Epps directly gave the room to Niya, and he was ready to concentrate on studying magic, even if Aiboike's revelation was true.

But as long as he can become an archmage, he will definitely have many more coping methods. Being hit by an elf magic does not mean that he will definitely die. Epps still has this confidence.
