Arcane Lord

He turned around and stared at Ava in great shock, "This is - an undead creature?!"

Afterwards, without waiting for Ava to answer, he carefully observed the black-robed "man" again.

Just now, through the opening of the black-robed "man"'s clothes, Xia Duo saw numerous white bones. He didn't even need to enter a state of concentration when casting spells. He checked whether there was any negative energy residue on the black-robed "man" and almost concluded that this was an undead creature. .

Ava just said that the situation is somewhat special. What could be more special than an undead creature? Coupled with the words he said before entering the door, Xia Duo was even more convinced that this was an undead creature.

Of course, a formal confirmation is indispensable. Xia Duo immediately entered a state of concentration in casting. The skeleton in front of him, covered in black robes, was slowly but constantly radiating wisps of negative energy.

As he got closer, Xia Duo realized that the dilapidated and decaying smell he had smelled before came from this "man" in black robe. When Xia Duo got closer, he felt that the air seemed to have become colder.

This is truly undead.

Of course, it is now truly and completely dead.

"Master Xia Duo, it's time for us to leave." At this time, Aiwa reminded him tactfully.

"Oh, yes, yes, leave."

Xia Duo also realized that something was wrong, and did not dare to touch anything in the house at all. He walked quickly outside the house. As soon as he left the house, Xia Duo's heart suddenly felt light. He had never felt that the sunshine in early winter could be so warm.

"so close!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but feel afraid. Just now in the room, he had actually been unknowingly affected by negative energy, but the subtle influence was hard to guard against.

If Ava hadn't reminded him, he might have wanted to study the remains of the undead creature.

In that case, it will be more seriously eroded by negative energy.

…

Returning to the team, Xia Duo ordered everyone to set off immediately.

As the team got closer and closer to Savile Town, Shado felt a little relieved. He had previously speculated that the attacker might be brought by Old Neil, but after learning that it was an undead creature, Shado was full of doubts.

Just because Old Neil was an ordinary person who opened a hotel in the South District, it was difficult for Shado to connect him with the undead.

This makes the assassin's motives very strange.

Shado has been consciously coming to Savile Town for almost a year and has always kept a low profile. How could someone send undead creatures to kill him?

What kind of hatred is this?

I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out!

Moreover, except for a very small number of undead creatures that awaken on their own, generally speaking, there is a master who can actually control them, and this master is usually a mage.

So here’s the question, if Xia Duo doesn’t even bother ordinary people, how could he possibly mess with a mage?

Reminiscent of several official mages who have crossed paths, are they? Or are they enemies? Or maybe it was just a passing mage who saw that she was unhappy and deliberately left only a skeleton to deal with him?

So after the skeleton failed, why didn't the person behind the skeleton jump out and continue to kill him?

There were so many doubts that it made Xia Duo's mind difficult to turn around for a while.

"Shado."

"Shado!"

"Ah?!" Xia Duo whispered. His thoughts were interrupted by Dean, and he said angrily, "Dean, what's the matter with you?"

Dean leaned closer to Shado and whispered: "What happened to the assassin before? Why did you and Ava go there for a while and you were always absent-minded when you came back?"

Xia Duo was not going to publicize the discovery or even the killing of undead creatures everywhere, so as not to irritate the unknown mage. He planned to report to the superiors quietly after returning.

In any case, being assassinated by an undead creature can be regarded as a matter of life and death, so it is safer to report it to the superiors.

An unknown mage, for whatever reason, hid in the dark and stared at him. The only place he could seek help was the mage tower.

As for Dean's inquiry, Xia Duo was careless and said, "The traces left by the assassin are a bit strange. Ava asked me to go over and have a look."

Dean was dubious about this answer, but he couldn't find any reason to continue asking, so he had to give it up.

After Dean noticed that he was absent-minded, Sha Duo pretended to be nonchalant. It was just the pressure from the unknown mage that made him feel particularly heavy, which was in sharp contrast to the ease when he set off.

…

On the other side, Old Neil's Hotel, second floor.

Old Neil, who had been eliminated as a suspect by Xia Duo, was now very respectfully receiving a middle-aged man wearing businessman's clothing. Although this middle-aged man was dressed as a businessman, his every move revealed a strange feeling. style.

With Old Neil's knowledge, he certainly couldn't tell that the person in front of him was deliberately imitating the arcanists in the core area of ​​the empire. Although his movements were a little artificial, in Old Neil's eyes, they looked extremely brilliant, far exceeding those in the territory. of any mage.

His attitude became more and more respectful, "Sir, what are your orders for me?"

"Haha. Do you know that it was because of your wrong information that I lost a servant?"

When Old Neil heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and the next second he knelt on the ground, and couldn't help but explain, "Sir, that boy is really just an apprentice, and he has only joined the Mage Tower for a few months. There are only some ordinary soldiers, and the elite have been transferred out by the lord. "

"Yes, then did you know that there is a high-level rogue beside him?"

There was no emotion or anger in the middle-aged mage's voice, but this made Old Neil even more worried, "High-high-level rogue, this-this is definitely an accident. I know that kid, he is an outsider, It’s absolutely impossible to know any high-level rogues.”

"So, you think I'm lying?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Old Neil shook his head quickly. Although he did suspect that the middle-aged mage was lying, he did not dare to say it directly. When he brought the mage back from outside the day before yesterday, he had experienced this The power of the mage——

Just by raising their hands, a group of goblins rushing toward them instantly fell to the ground and turned into a pile of terrifying mummies.

If possible, he would rather not have encountered this very dangerous foreign mage.

"I need compensation."

After hearing this, Old Neil was finally relieved, took two big breaths, and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, I will definitely give you satisfactory compensation."

Old Neil was thinking in his mind, wondering how much blood would be shed this time! We don’t have much money at home anymore. Do you want to hire someone to borrow some money?

"I want that necklace around your neck!"

The middle-aged mage's indifferent words instantly brought Old Neil back to reality, and the "necklace" made Old Neil subconsciously touch his chest, and blurted out words that were almost questioning.

"Sir, how do you know-"

But then Old Neil fell silent and glanced back and forth on the ground, feeling secretly resentful but unable to say any words of rejection.
