Arcane Lord

Arriving at Leiden's temporary office, Shado found that Leiden was not here. After asking the clerk, he found out that Leiden had gone to the cemetery and said he had something to discuss with Mott.

In this case, Xia Duo no longer stayed, but returned to the lord's villa.

He moved to a new house last night, but found that there were no windows. He asked Norman, a soldier on duty, to find a carpenter to cut a piece of wood to seal it. Unexpectedly, he received news that a new dimension had been discovered.

He walked in a hurry and did not wait for the windows to be sealed. When he was flying in the sky, he noticed that the windows had been sealed, and not only the window of his bedroom, but also all the windows in other rooms were sealed. stand up.

Even the door was covered with wooden boards.

Looking at the specifications up close, it looks familiar. Isn’t it just the spliced ​​wall panels among the standard wooden house components?

When he returned to the bedroom, he followed his instructions and blocked the window with a solid wood block. There was no trace of water in the room. Xia Duo checked the rooms upstairs and downstairs and returned to the bedroom very satisfied.

Although this villa is called a villa, it is actually more like a small castle. In this era without reinforced concrete, it is still quite difficult for ordinary people to build a stone double-story building.

This requires very sophisticated structural design and engineering management. Chateau's house is very similar in structure to other villas in Savileland. Perhaps this is the so-called "craftsman's secret".

…

At dusk, Leiden came to see Xia Duo, and it was then that Xia Duo discovered a disadvantage of living here. This huge villa must require many servants to maintain it, and maybe he also needs a housekeeper.

This time when Leighton came, he was ushered in by Norman, the soldier on duty at the door.

Sha Duo is deeply aware of the cumbersome worldly etiquette. Let alone Sha Duo, a person who has traveled from the earth, even the mages of Netheril don't like to waste time on these aspects.

After all, spellcasters do not need to design cumbersome etiquette to show authority like ordinary people in power. The powerful power they possess is natural authority.

No wonder mages like to live in places like the Mage Tower that combine the functions of "research institute" and "residence"!

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly felt that building such a big house was in vain. The construction period was long and the cost was high. Instead of doing this, it was better to build a wooden villa.

After sending Layton to the bedroom on the second floor, Norman left without saying a word, leaving only Shado and Layton in the room.

Chateau closed the page and looked at Leiden, asking: "Do you know what happened last night?"

"I know, sir! I have already arranged for someone to repair the gaps in the fence."

"Since you know how to repair the gaps, why don't you check other parts of the fence?" Xia Duo asked again.

I just learned from Gibb that Layton only arranged for people to repair the gap where the wolf got in, and did not arrange for anyone to check other locations. In the end, the patrol soldiers checked, and then hired carpenters to re-reinforce several locations.

After Xia Duo said this, Leiden immediately reflected on himself, "Sir, it's my fault."

Sha Duo's intention was not to reprimand Leiden, but to remind him that in fact, if it were not for Leiden, he would probably not be able to do better than Leiden if he handled the territorial affairs by himself.

But this question is actually a management question.

"Assign a person to be a security officer who will be responsible for discovering potential safety hazards in the territory. Let's end this matter."

"yes."

"Are the people of the Kabu tribe still emotionally stable today?" Xia Duo changed the topic.

Yesterday, the shaman of the Kabu tribe had just been buried in the Linshui Village Cemetery. The remaining Langas people became panicked. Sha Duo felt that this was a good time for them to integrate.

Leiden happened to visit the people of the Kabu tribe today, so he said, "Sir, their emotions have stabilized, and some are even willing to accept the comfort of the Holy Light."

Xia Duo nodded. In fact, when Shaman Kabu died, Leiden tried to use holy light to comfort those who were sad, but the Langas people were unwilling to accept other "shamanic witchcraft". witchcraft".

In their understanding, witchcraft is related to faith. They only accept the witchcraft of their own shamans and regard the witchcraft of other people as a curse.

This "taking advantage of the opportunity" of the Holy Light may be the beginning of the transformation. Sha Duo reminded Leiden not to be too radical, so as not to cause estrangement. The current Daxia leader still has the image of a savior and protector in the eyes of the Kabu tribe people. , but cannot become an opponent.

"How are they learning Nese Common?"

"They were more attentive today than before."

"Very good, keep it up, let the four Slavin Chamber of Commerce people have a better attitude." Just as he was talking, Xia Duo seemed to think of something again, "By the way, from today onwards, no more barbarians are allowed in the territory, only Talk about Langas, you know?”

"Yes, I will notify you."

"Well, that's it for today. It's getting late. Go back and rest."

"Yes, sir!"

Layton withdrew, and after reading a book for a while, Chateau also "turned off the lights" and took a rest.

…

Three days later, it snowed heavily.

A burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the bedroom of the lord's villa in Linshui Village. Norman, who was on duty downstairs, touched his head and wondered why the lord was so happy.

Normally, the lord he saw had never smiled like this.

Xia Duo is indeed very happy, because he has stepped on the threshold of a high-level mage, and he can step in at any time as long as he is willing.

Once you become a high-level mage, although you won't be able to become the absolute backbone of Netheril like an arcanist, you can at least move forward and retreat freely in this era. Even a great arcanist will not ignore a high-level mage.

[Flying] and [Teleporting], the core advantages of the mage were fully demonstrated during this period.

The 4-level [Mage Armor] equivalent to the 5-level level has been completed. It is just waiting to be successfully used to get a glimpse of the fifth-level magic network, and then it will be compiled into a formal 5-level spell. Sha Duo is a true high-level mage. .

At this moment, Xia Duo was very glad that the magic in this world did not require any profound understanding, just like doing a math problem, 1 is 1, 2 is 2!

You may make a miscalculation, but the answer to the question will not be wrong. As long as you keep counting, you will eventually be able to figure it out.

Now Xia Duo has come up with the answer to this stage!

…

After removing the wooden block from the window, the wind and snow still blew into the bedroom and hit the face. Turning off the weak element balance ability of the [Crimson Protection Robe], the wind and snow that were originally as silky as gossamer instantly became sharp. , carved messily like a carving knife.

Xia Duo couldn't help but shudder, but his heart was burning.

After traveling so far, he finally reached this point. He did not suppress his joyful emotions, but allowed them to flow and burst out.

After a long time, feeling that his face was numb from the cold, Xia Duo began to calm down his emotions, concentrate, and slowly cast this low-level spell to explain the high-level one.

It's still quite proficient, but it's not to the extreme. Of course, it's not necessary. It's just a transitional spell in the intermediate state.

Ten seconds later, a faint light flashed, and then disappeared invisible, but the wind and snow in front of the window was blocked by an invisible barrier.

At this moment, Xia Duo's consciousness was suddenly raised high enough to see the entire face of this vast magic network - a complex structure that spreads between heaven and earth and is filled with infinite energy.

Everything exists within this magnificent structure, and the strings of the magic network connect everything and intertwine with each other.
