Arcane Lord

On the way back, Shado recalled the entire process of the soldiers killing the orcs, while thinking about how many orcs he and Dean's team could deal with at one time. If scrolls were included, how many could they deal with?

Walking to the edge of the Green Pearl Forest, beyond that is the southernmost part of the Savile Territory. Several villages are scattered in an orderly manner between Savile Town and the Green Pearl Forest.

From the Green Pearl Forest to the town, the closer you get, the denser the traces of human activities become. This is how Savile Territory was developed from scratch in the past ninety years.

When Shado first crossed through Netheril, he appeared west of Savile Town, beyond the Wolfburg River and further west, in the wilderness between villages.

There is another direction that Savile Territory has opened up.

Half of the population of Savile Territory is in Savile Town, and the other half is distributed in villages.

Once the orc tide comes, there will be a mage tower in the town, which is enough to cover the entire town, but the people in the village will be in danger. Yidim and others of the Shado team chose to join the territorial army just so that their families can enter the town to take refuge. .

Sha Duo lamented in his heart that it was not easy for ordinary people to survive in Savileland. At the same time, he also wanted to know what the core area of ​​the empire was like. If he had the chance, he must go out for a walk.

While looking forward to the future, he discussed spell-casting techniques with Dean with great interest. Although Sha Duo knew more about the nature of spells than Dean, he only had a few months of practical "hands-on practice." experience.

Dean has been in the Mage Tower for more than two years, and he can always bring some new thinking and new understanding to Sha Duo in terms of spell casting practice, which even plays a certain role in Sha Duo's understanding of the nature of magic.

After all, practice is the basis of theory and plays a decisive role in theory.

Of course, Dean's spellcasting skills have not yet reached a decisive level.

While passing by a village, the two were having an exciting discussion, talking and laughing, and both parties were obviously very satisfied.

"Be careful, there is an assassin!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo almost didn't think anything about it, and instantly entered a state of concentration on spell casting, striding towards Gibb who was a few steps ahead.

By the way, he gave Dean a hand, who was a little confused. At the same time, a light ball that was slightly smaller than the ordinary [Light Technique], but much brighter, appeared in his original position.

Regardless of whether the assassin was targeting him or not, Xia Duo naturally chose what was best for him.

Gibb's reaction was also quite fast. The moment Shado pulled Dean closer, he and Uk turned back with shields, protecting Shado and Dean on the left and right.

Just when Xia Duo was thankful that the assassin did not attack him, a crossbow arrow was shot from a residential house on one side, hitting exactly where he was just now and sinking into the soil, leaving only a small tail feather trembling slightly.

At this moment, Xia Duo felt a chill on his back, and his heart could not suppress his pounding. After the fear passed, a burst of anger suddenly broke out - someone wanted to kill him!

Xia Duo is not someone who is easily carried away by anger. When the team members started to commotion, he quickly shouted: "Aiwa, catch them alive!"

In his heart, although Ava is very mysterious, he is also very powerful. It was Ava who was the first to discover the abnormality and reminded him in time.

Sami and Dewane's team, who were less than 50 meters away from the front, also discovered the changes on Sha Duo's side. Sami even directly sent inquiry information through [Messaging Technique].

"There is a small accident, we can handle it, you go first, go back to treat the wounded!" Xia Duo also replied with [Messaging Technique].

In just a few moments of this call, the members of Sha Duo and Dean's team also completed the warning formation. What just happened was so sudden that no one expected that someone would sneak attack while passing by the village.

"Captain Gibb, have you ever encountered anything like this before?"

"No." Gibb said firmly, "Who dares to attack the lord's soldiers in the territory!"

However, these words also attracted the sneer of a soldier. Shado remembered him. Azida, who was recruited from the adventurers, was nicknamed "Moustache". His neatly groomed beard was impressive. Extremely deep.

"Azda, what do you think?"

"Master Xia Duo, what can I say? It's nothing more than a vendetta. Think about whether you have offended anyone. Of course, I'm not talking about the two mages, but some people."

Azida glanced at a soldier recruited by the same adventurer next to him without leaving any trace, as if to say that this man was the cause of the trouble.

"Mustache, don't talk nonsense!" This man had a strong desire to survive and immediately revealed that he had had financial disputes with Azida. "I knew that you made a mistake on that mission and I deducted the money. He said he was not dissatisfied, but he didn’t expect to be waiting for me here!”

"Old Lock, you're farting! If you hadn't been deducting money from the team, would you have replaced so many team members? I think someone is dissatisfied and hired an assassin to kill you!"

The man nicknamed "Old Lock" was about to defend himself when Xia Duo raised his hand to stop him. He really didn't want to hear this kind of intrigue between adventurers.

The arrow just now was clearly aimed at him. If he hadn't used the transformed [Light Technique] at the critical moment to stun the opponent, he might have been shot by the adjusted crossbow before Jibu could protect him. bingo.

And another reason why I don't want to listen to their nonsense is, of course, that Ava is back.

But he came back empty-handed. Did he make a mistake and let the assassin escape? still--

"Aiwa, where is the assassin?"

"The situation is a bit complicated. Master Xia Duo, come with me." Aiwa motioned to Xia Duo to follow him alone.

Xia Duo didn't understand what Aiwa meant, but he still ordered others to stay on guard and followed Aiwa to a house not far from the road.

"Master Xia Duo, I don't know who you have offended, but I think you may be in big trouble." Aiwa said this rarely, just when Xia Duo wanted to ask.

Aiwa had already walked in, and Sha Duo quickly followed.

As soon as he came in, Xia Duo smelled a dilapidated and decaying atmosphere, mixed with some unspeakable strange smells, which made Xia Duo frown.

The furnishings in the private house are quite simple. The only furniture is a bed placed in the corner. There is a row of clay pots stacked on one side of the wall and several wooden boxes on the other side.

On the other side opposite the bed, there are actually two sheep!

In the center of the room was a clay pot hanging from the beam, with traces of fire underneath. There was also half a piece of dried meat from an unknown animal hanging on the beam, giving it a sense of life.

This was the first time that Xia Duo saw the houses of ordinary Nese people, or to be more precise, the homes of ordinary Nese farmers.

The big trouble that Ava mentioned should be here. Xia Duo looked around and found a man in a black robe near the window. A crossbow fell to the side.

This must be the murderer and the murder weapon that just shot the arrow.

Xia Duo took two steps closer, took a closer look, and was shocked, "This-"
