Arcane Lord

In the past three days, he only found a fine gold knife, which was even half the size of the one he found before, and nothing else!

He knew that his search would definitely miss something, but it wouldn't take three days to find a knife!

In order to find more things in these three days, Xia Duo also specifically selected several places where he thought there might be treasures, and did not search them one by one according to the "grid method".

Did he just choose the "empty box"? Or is the "prize" itself very poor?

Xia Duo can continue to verify, but there is actually not much need, because the "Lucky Owen" will come tomorrow, and the elemental aura on the "Water Element Road" outside the maze has indeed become heavier in the past few days.

Although it has not caused obvious changes in the plants on the "Water Element Road" for the time being, but--

He has decided to report the ruins to Niya when he returns to the Tower of Time this time!

Finally, taking a look at the ruins that still have a large area that has not been searched, Xia Duo ran to the periphery of the ruins without looking back, crossing the dividing line between decay and vitality.

The space smoothly transitioned to the outside of the maze, and Xia Duo kept running towards the landing camp, which was also the future location of Linshui Village.

…

Two days later, the "Lucky Owen" lowered the gangplank at the landing point, and more than a dozen strong crew members began to carry supplies down, mainly food and tools.

Not seeing the personnel replenishment, Xia Duo was a little disappointed, but still asked as usual: "Captain Owen, how much supplies were transported this time?"

"Sir, this time the supplies on board include 20,000 pounds of flour, 20 pounds of salt, 50 shovels and 20 long saws you ordered, and 3 boxes of various insect repellents, beast repellents, detoxification, and healing drugs."

Old Owen took out a list, read it once, and then handed it to Xia Duo, "Sir, the steward Alman of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce said that the supplies here are priced at 1,000 gold coins. Old Owen has counted them personally and there is no problem."

"Well." Xia Duo took the list, glanced at it roughly, and put it into his personal space. His cooperation with the Liaton Chamber of Commerce is basically based on his credit, or moral integrity.

If Xia Duo regrets in the future, is unwilling to pay with magic items, or simply kills the donkey, the other party actually has not much to do.

Of course, even if the constraints of the sacred contract are not considered, Xia Duo will not regret it. He still has a basic bottom line, and he also believes that the Liaton Chamber of Commerce will not dare to fool him casually.

However, Old Owen's enthusiasm did make Shado's impression of him a little better, and it was not in vain that Shado named his only cargo ship "Lucky Owen".

Thinking of this, Shado's tone became closer, "Captain Owen, how is the development of Savile County going recently?"

The last time he went to the Tower of Time, he first went to the Union of Arcane Law, and after returning, he was obsessed with spell research and didn't even talk to Alman.

In addition, Shado has been in the projection plane for more than a year, which has exceeded the time he has spent in Savile County. His impression of the development of Savile County has become a little vague, and he is not sure how far it has progressed.

"My lord, the development of Savile County is progressing amazingly. When I came here, I heard that a large piece of land has been leveled there, and they are preparing to sow wheat in autumn!"

Then, Old Owen vividly recounted some of the recent events in Savile County, such as the mage killing violent bears, the wild wolf attacking the pioneers, and the lord rewarding meritorious people, etc.

Old Owen had been sailing for his whole life and was good at speaking. Chateau also found it quite interesting, so the two chatted on the river bank.

Suddenly, Chateau heard a few "woooo" growls coming from a boat not far away, and he immediately asked, "Captain Owen, what else is on the boat? Why do I hear animals calling!"

"Oh, damn, I'm old and confused, I almost forgot about them!" Old Owen slapped his head and kept apologizing to Chateau.

"Okay, what's on the boat?" Chateau asked again.

"Sir, the boat contains three Langas hounds that Mrs. Patty asked me to bring to you." Old Owen said hurriedly.

"Hounds?"

"Yes, sir, they are three strong guys, whether it is hunting or guarding the house, they are very useful! It's a pity that only the Langas barbarians know how to train such excellent hounds!"

Old Owen looked regretful, and Chateau was also a little annoyed. His hometown has a history of raising dogs for thousands of years. He should have thought of it a long time ago. It would be great to get some dogs to guard the house!

And now Mrs. Patty is sending him hounds? The first thing that came to Shado’s mind was - how much?

However, Shado didn’t ask so directly after all, "Captain Owen, did Mrs. Patty have any message for you to bring?"

"Yes, Steward Alman conveyed it. He said that these three Langas hounds were purchased by Mrs. Patty from the mainland and given to you for territory development."

This -

If he charged money for the dog, Shado would feel bad, but if he didn’t charge money, he would be a little worried about gains and losses, debts of favor!

He hoped that everything could be clearly marked with a price, but that was just a fantasy. Whenever there was interpersonal communication, there would be favors. Shado just instinctively didn’t want to owe others anything.

However, Shado was not an instinctive creature. After rational consideration, he accepted it very calmly.

There was no reason not to refuse the benefits of delivering it to the door without any hidden dangers. And in a higher level of thinking, maintaining a certain amount of interpersonal exchanges is also beneficial to oneself.

No one likes people who are overly greedy or indifferent, and Xia Duo is no exception. This is just like how even bad people wish there were more good people in the world.

"Go back and thank Mrs. Patty for me. If I have a chance next time, I will express my gratitude to her in person."

Seeing that the supplies were about to be completely unloaded, Xia Duo waved his hand and called out to Old Owen, "Let's go and see how good this Langas hound you mentioned is!"

"Sir, I promise they won't let you down!"

…

In the cabin of the "Lucky Owen", a thin man sat quietly leaning against the beam. He only occasionally gently stroked the backs of the big gray-white dogs next to him to comfort them that were not used to the ship.

There was sadness, resentment, and dissatisfaction in the man's eyes, but in the end they all turned into deep loneliness. He was waiting for his master to arrive.

Since being expelled from the tribe, he has been traveling around the territory of Nese for many years, determined to find a powerful mage master, a master who can take him back to the tribe and prove his worth to the elders!

If he cannot get the approval of the elders before his death, his soul will not get final peace.

It's just that in all the time he has been in Netheril, he has never met a master who is strong enough and willing to prove it for him.

But those Nese mages either looked down upon him, or were simply unwilling to participate in what they regarded as a very barbaric blood trial.

As for those who want to deceive him, he is not stupid. He knows that the gods of the Nese people can witness the contract. Every time the sacred contract is mentioned, those people will flee.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but touch his chest, where there were two sacred contracts.

"Woo-"

The man perked up, someone was coming!
