Arcane Lord

Xia Duo continued to ask: "Did anyone else die?"

"No."

"Has anyone in the town suddenly become abnormal recently? Has anyone who was injured suddenly recovered?"

"No."

I didn't lie. I guess I couldn't get anything out of asking any more. Xia Duo planned to go directly to the mayor's house. Whether the mayor had any problems or not, it would be right to check there first.

Xia Duo also planned to find the mayor first, so he asked again: "Where is the mayor's house?"

"Turn left when you go out, the fifth house is the mayor's house."

"I know, the last question, have you heard of the 'Mother Goddess of Creation'?"

"No."

"Okay, go to bed and have a sleep now!"

"Yes, sir."

Looking at the woman in front of him walking towards the bed without any resistance, Xia Duo was sure that [Instruction] was working.

After all, no matter how majestic the empire is, it is impossible for a young woman who may still know some apprentice magic to have no doubts, no hesitation, and no resistance.

...

Using [Invisibility] again, Xia Duo walked along the road in front of the woman's house to the left and counted five houses. The appearance was not much different from that of ordinary townspeople, except that they were a little newer.

The mayors at the grassroots level of the empire may have some prestige, but they do not have much practical benefits, because there are too many people who want to step on them to get to the top. They must be cautious at all times, and some even live worse than ordinary townspeople.

There are hundreds of small towns within the scope of Jilan City. Xia Duo has visited at least dozens of them in the past year. He found that these towns are indeed like the "dormitory area of ​​collective farms" he knew, without entertainment or business (all in Jilan City), and the mayors are basically women.

It's called a town, but it's more like a village, even the Little Goat Town with a population of more than 2,000.

What kind of wealthy families can there be in a village?

When he got close to the mayor's house, Xia Duo immediately turned his initial suspicion into certainty in his heart. He found traces of warning magic outside the mayor's house. The style looked similar to that of elves, complicated and gorgeous, but also with the simplicity and rigor of the Nether magic system.

If demons are elves, perhaps they are also absorbing the advantages of this side in the war.

This warning magic itself is nothing, and Xia Duo is confident that he can bypass it, but the problem is that "Eddie" does not have it.

The detection spell from Jilan City still exists. Xia Duo, who has used the detection spell himself, naturally understands that the view from Jilan City is not just ordinary vision, but also magical vision.

Perhaps, Jilan City has also discovered the warning magic here.

After thinking about it carefully, Xia Duo found that "Eddie" really has no way to bypass it, or remove it without being discovered. After waiting here for a while, there was no sign of this warning magic attenuation or disappearance.

Xia Duo knew that it was time to change another way.

Maybe it can be a little more radical. Of course, what Xia Duo said about radical is not to rush in directly, but to upgrade the character of "Eddie".

In theory, "Eddie" can bypass or even steal this warning magic, but there is often a gap between reality and theory, and now Xia Duo is going to turn theory into reality.

This is not difficult for Xia Duo.

However, the "struggle", "hesitation" and "thinking" process should still be shown to the people on the side of the detection spell.

Until the duration of the three [Invisibility] was over, Xia Duo finally showed a "determined" expression and slowly approached the edge of the warning magic.

The magic net here has obviously become more organized. Xia Duo carefully extracted a magic net string from it and connected it to himself. This is the first step to seize the authority.

Any continuous magic and guided magic must be linked to itself to be able to maintain for a long time, otherwise it will only bloom for a moment, and then the magic net will start to recover automatically, and the magic will be gone.

If [Fireball] is released, you can't control it. Even if it explodes as soon as it leaves your hand, there is no way. If you want precise and continuous control, that is another spell, [Guided Fireball].

But in the same way, guided magic is also easier to be countered, which is equivalent to you are reading the bar, and others don't interrupt it.

"Eddie" has never been exposed to the theory and skills of seizing spells before, but it does not prevent Xia Duo from letting him "understand and create on his own" at this moment.

From the moment the first magic string was connected, it was destined that this warning magic would be seized by Xia Duo.

After a while, Xia Duo had completely mastered this warning magic, and could even sense three "people" inside through this warning magic, let's assume that they were all people.

These three people were below the ground, probably in the cellar.

Hiding his figure, Xia Duo walked around the house and found no traces of other spells. It seemed that there was only one warning magic, and this magic had been controlled by Xia Duo.

Although he could not cut off the other party's perception, he could also mislead the other party.

He found a woman near the mayor's house and [instructed] her to go to the mayor and say that two pregnant women were arguing and were about to fight, and she needed to mediate.

The reason was not convincing, but as the mayor, as long as there was no clear intention of rebellion, it was her job to mediate neighborhood disputes.

At the moment this woman stepped into the warning field, in Xia Duo's perception, a person in the cellar moved instantly, and then another person stood up and came out.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was the mayor.

The two of them said a few words at the door and left together.

After the two left, Xia Duomo counted dozens and stepped into the warning area, but at this time he had replaced his own physical signs with that of the mayor.

Vigilance magic does not allow you to see the picture like detection magic. There is only a general physical appearance, such as height, short, fat, thin, human shape or animal shape, etc.

He arrived at the cellar nimbly, and before he could lift the wooden board, he heard a weak Elvish voice coming from below, "Ned, you don't have to worry about me. Leave this demon kingdom quickly. It's really too dangerous here." ”

"No, Jiali, I must take you back, believe me! The Mother Goddess will definitely bless us for our safe return!"

Hearing this, Xia Duo felt something in his heart and realized that the other party might not have teleported the scroll, and one of them might have been seriously injured. It seemed that this mission was in vain.

However, he still followed the plan. After lifting the wooden board, he immediately activated the [Dimensional Anchor] scroll. The light underneath was dim, but following the perceived position in the alarm field, two green blocking rays accurately Two targets were hit.

Then, without waiting for the opponent's reaction, he activated the [Fireball Technique] one after another. The opponent's choice to settle in the cellar was simply asking for death. In the small space, two fireballs exploded instantly.

A bright fire flashed, and Xia Duo saw two elves hugging each other underneath, but then they were engulfed in the fire. One of the elves had a flash of magic. Although it was difficult, he survived in the end.

The other one turned into ashes almost instantly.

Xia Duo just stood at the entrance of the cellar and watched this scene. The fire stopped when it reached the entrance of the cellar. After all, it was a magic flame. Xia Duo did not feel any heat wave.

Although he lamented the fragility of life, the movements of his hands did not stop, but at this point there was no need to use the scroll.

Because the one who survived was the one who was originally injured. He didn't know how he was injured. Half of his body seemed to have been burned by fire. It was obviously very painful.

When the magic aura on it disappeared, Xia Duo ended its pain with a magic missile.
