Arcane Lord

Of course Ava remembers Sha Duo, not to mention the contact he had with him when he was recruited last year. Who doesn’t know that in the Arcane Competition last month, he was the only new mage in the Saville Territory to win the title of "Pioneer"!

But he didn't think there would be any intersection between the two now, "Master Xia Duo? What does he want from me? Did you say something?"

As he spoke, a hint of suspicion gradually appeared in his eyes when he looked at Gibb. It was not a suspicion of good and evil, but a suspicion of what Gibb had done.

Ava believes that Gibb means no harm to him, but sometimes good intentions can be troublesome, and he has already experienced this.

"No, I didn't tell him about you. It was Master Xia Duo who wanted to hire you as an instructor in his territorial guard."

Gibb first explained, but then he sighed and said in a lonely voice: "Eva, haven't you given up on that matter yet? Give up! It's been so many years, and it should be done for those of us who are still alive. Consider it!”

"No! I will never give up!" Ava's attitude was very decisive. He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and murmured, "I will never forget that bloody afternoon when my family was killed by the group of people above my head. Tortured to death by wild beasts!”

Perhaps Ava's voice infected Gibb, and Gibb also began to recall, "Yeah, I can't forget it either. If I hadn't happened to go to play with you that day and was driven into the cellar by Uncle Ladd, I wouldn't be where I am now. It’s me! It’s just my family—”

Mentioning his family, Gibb suddenly became more sober, "Ava, the orcs have been defeated now, can't you live a normal life?"

"Normal life? Haha!"

Ava asked back, "Like you, asking for a wife, giving birth to a child, and then secretly lamenting at night that your enemies who have lost their loved ones are enjoying their lives?"

"You have killed many people over the years, that's enough! It's time to stop! Uncle Ladd doesn't want to see you drowned in hatred!"

"No, it's not enough! The biggest culprit is still alive and well, how could I stop!"

"well--"

Gibb knew that once Ava decided something, it would be difficult to change it. Similar conversations had been held countless times in the past, but he still wanted to say:

"Can you kill such a person? It's been ten years, how many ten years of life can be wasted, let it go, even if you kill him, our relatives will not come back, but your life will be in vain! "

Yes, such a big shot would kill whenever he wanted. Not to mention how tight the protection was, even if he was lucky enough to succeed, could he still escape the pursuit of the mages?

After joining the Saville Army for nearly ten years, Gibb knew very well what those mages could do, and he believed that Ava, who had spent a long time in the core area of ​​the empire, knew better than him.

He couldn't just watch his friend and brother die!

Seeing that Gibb was about to say something more, Ava quickly interrupted him, "You just said that Master Shado has something to do with me. What is it?"

"Master Xia Duo has acquired a territory in the Green Pearl Forest, and he wants to hire you as an instructor of the territory guard."

"Instructor? What are you teaching?"

Although Shado didn't say it clearly, Gibb still noticed something, "I guess he wants you to teach the members of the Guard how to use magic items."

"Teach this?" Ava was very doubtful.

It is not that simple for ordinary people to learn to use magic. Not to mention other things, the magic scrolls used for practice alone require a lot of gold coins.

"Are you sure this is it? That Master Xia Duo is very rich? It's impossible, he was just an apprentice last year!"

Ava has only seen regular guards armed with magic items in some prosperous territories in the interior, but here?

Even the Savile Territory doesn't have such a magic guard, so how can a newly expanded territory afford it?

"This -" Gibb hesitated for a moment before saying, "It should be so. Master Shado mentioned before that equipping the guards with magic scrolls."

And it's a magic scroll that's close to that of a goblin killer. Gibb thought to himself. He had seen Shado cast that sound spell several times. Most of the goblins had no resistance to it and would collapse in fear as soon as they heard the sound.

"Ava, do you want to try?"

"Let me think about it." Ava did not directly refuse the answer after all.

But Gibb understood what he meant in an instant, but still said, "Right now, Master Xia Duo's territory is still very small, but who can say that it will not develop into the Savile Territory in the future! Maybe by then It will make your revenge easier."

"No, you don't understand-" Ava's voice trailed off.

His old friend's vision is still a bit narrow. Once what he wants to do is accomplished, even Lord Savile may not be able to keep him, let alone a small territory with an uncertain future!

Furthermore, even if he is willing to continue to wait, his enemy will definitely survive until that day. If he cannot complete his revenge while his enemy is still alive, then what is the meaning of all his efforts before that!

After that, Ava did not continue on this topic, but talked about their current situation with each other. After a while, Ava walked out of the room carrying a bulging money bag and left quickly.

Behind him, Lina yelled and scolded, and Gibb's submissive voice came. Ava smiled knowingly, poured the gravel in his wallet on the roadside, and resumed his original indifferent expression of not letting strangers in.

…

Two days later, Midsummer's Day.

The festive atmosphere begins to become feverish when the sun rises in the morning, and the square is crowded with all kinds of tourists.

Many villagers living outside the town even brought their families here just to soak up some of the sacred aura of the Lord of Glory on this day.

On this day, which is also the only day of the year, spellcasters, adventurers, big businessmen, small traders, farmers, craftsmen, and even slaves, all gather together in an almost classless carnival.

The clergy preached doctrines, the mages performed magic, the adventurers showed off their muscles, and the merchants gave away some worthless gadgets to tourists.

More performances by more people, more displays, this is not only a carnival for everyone, but also a gift from mortals to the Lord of Glory.

In the Tower of Time, the fanatical atmosphere outside seemed to have filtered in. Most of the apprentices had already left, but some mages seemed to be reserved. It was not until nearly noon that they slowly walked out of the mage tower and participated in the carnival of everyone.

Xia Duo is also among them, but the nature of his fun is very shallow. He wants to go outside the town to see if the Lion and Fire Circus is coming, and see if Mu Yan is coming!

Squeezing through the crowded crowd, Xia Duo casually released a few bunches of magic fireworks, causing everyone around to cheer, but it became even more crowded!

Someone kept shouting, "One more!"

"another one!"

Normally, no one would dare to order an official mage like this, but now it seems that the crowd around them gave them courage, or perhaps it was the fanatical atmosphere that made them do this.

It's just a trick. Even the clergy of the Lord of Glory are being "besieged", and Xia Duo can only satisfy them.

If it weren't for the special restrictions on spell casting in the Tower of Time today, he really wanted to use [Levitation Technique] to fly directly over the crowd!

Now--

We can only squeeze out slowly!

Xia Duo even regretted changing into a robe today instead of dressing up as an adventurer!
