Arcane Lord

The next day, when Xia Duo was preparing to go to the apprentice management office to meet the two new mages after practicing, Niya suddenly arrived, bringing a piece of news that was not unexpected:

"The invitation from Lord Rodney is here. He invites you to visit Rodney Territory!"

When the news was uncertain before, Xia Duo still had distracting thoughts, but when the other party's invitation actually arrived, there was almost no fluctuation in his heart. He hummed and asked casually:

"Where's the time?"

Niya was a little angry that she was so worried, but Xia Duo, the client, only had this reaction. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Xia Duo and said angrily:

"There is no specific time! The invitation was conveyed through the Austrian and French Federation, but it was mentioned above that it is recommended to arrive before the end of the month."

With that said, she handed a pale yellow invitation letter to Xia Duo.

…

No specific time? So strange?

Xia Duo took the invitation and as soon as he opened it, a separate piece of paper slipped down. He picked it up casually, ha! It feels a little special!

After a brief analysis, isn't this the paper used to make high-level magic scrolls?

There is only one line of words scrawled on it, "It is recommended to arrive before the end of the month". It is really luxurious!

Looking at the invitation, apart from the thin wood cover, the inside is just ordinary parchment. Although the style looks more advanced than the single piece of paper, and there are even many complicated and exquisite patterns drawn on the edges, the essence is much inferior. .

The handwriting is somewhat similar to the one on the separate piece of paper, but the writing on this invitation letter is obviously much neater. The general meaning is "I have heard about your name for a long time, and I am specially invited to meet you."

Not only was there no time, there was no beginning or end, there was no identity of the inviter, and there was no identity of the invitee. If I hadn’t known in advance that it was Lord Rodney’s invitation, it would have been really confusing!

"How do you know it was an invitation from Lord Rodney?" Sha Duo asked curiously.

Although the possibility of it being a prank is very small, the possibility cannot be ruled out.

Niya understood what Xia Duo meant and expressed her judgment:

"Of course I know. I have already confirmed that this is sent in the name of Archmage Auron. If this is not an invitation from Lord Rodney, what else could it be!"

"So this is ah!"

Shado suddenly realized that Auron, like Greta, was also a subordinate of the princess. Of course, followers might be more appropriate. Aulon actually served in the Austrian Federation, unlike Greta who often followed the princess. .

If it was sent in the name of Archmage Auron, it almost means that Rodney took over the matter. First, Greta mentioned the news, and then Auron sent the invitation letter. This is obvious. Got it!

Chateau even speculated whether it might have been written by Auron himself.

"Then when are you going to leave?"

"It should be just these few days!" Xia Duo said calmly.

Since you have already realized something, you might as well go there early. Anyway, after the spell book is completed, you won't be able to make any major breakthroughs in a short period of time.

If he hadn't prepared to spare a few days to familiarize himself with the spell book, Xia Duo would have set out immediately. From yesterday to today, he had already felt how good the spell book was.

Almost smooth hair, no limit on the number of times, compared with the magic scroll, it is an overwhelming advantage.

The only drawback is probably that the cost is too high, but this is not a problem with the spell book, but a problem with the caster himself.

Of course, there is another problem that is not a problem, that is, the magic scroll can prepare countless spells in advance that will not be used even once in the future.

But this cannot be the case in spell books. The capacity of the inner pages is limited, and you cannot add unlimited amounts. You must make choices.

However, this problem also does not have to be a problem with spell books. If you have money, just prepare a few more spell books.

In actual situations, as long as the planning is reasonable, a spell book is actually enough to be used in various scenarios.

…

Hearing that Xia Duo was going to leave in the next few days, Niya couldn't help but be a little silent, but she also knew that it would not work if the invitation letter came and went, so she silently took off a small mirror-like accessory from her waist.

He held it in one hand and sent it to Xia Duo, pretending not to care, and said calmly: "If you want to go to Rodney to get it, just take this with you. I won't need it in the Tower of Time anyway."

Xia Duo did not reach out to pick it up immediately. It was obviously a very valuable magic item. He had just noticed Niya's actions. Not only was she taking it off her body, but more importantly, she was disconnecting from the magic item. Coherence state.

The ornaments that were originally inconspicuous, after disconnecting from Niya, the magical aura emitted by them instantly became more powerful and became quite intense and dazzling.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Duo took the small mirror. He didn't know if it was an illusion. Just when he took the small mirror, he seemed to hear Niya let out a long sigh of relief.

"This is a spell reversal mirror that can reverse directional spells below level 9, but it can only be reversed three times in a short period of time. You must remember this!" Niya reminded.

"Um!"

Niya said seriously, and Xia Duo nodded solemnly.

He had also seen spell reversal magic items in [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire]. It was a spell reversal ring, which he had personally worn.

Somewhat regretfully, he had not seen [Spell Reversal] take effect with his own eyes.

And this time Niya's introduction was more detailed than what he learned in the projection plane. At least he knew that only directional spells can be reversed, not any spell.

The so-called directional spells can actually be called "locking spells", which are the kind of spells that are sure to hit once cast.

Almost all spells can be locked, but in real spell confrontations, such almost customized spells are not common.

More attention needs to be paid to spells that naturally have a locking effect, such as transformation or psychic control spells.

As for the creative spells, most of them will not have a locking effect. As long as you react quickly enough, you can avoid them.

Ordinary mages may not have such dodge ability, but Xia Duo has experienced bloodline awakening, and his body is no longer comparable to that of ordinary people. He believes that as long as he does not touch his face, he can dodge most non-locking spells.

Now, coupled with the spell reversal mirror that Niya gave him, he even had the idea of ​​​​wrestling with the Grand Arcanist.

Of course, this is just a reverie. If he really encounters it, he won’t be able to run away in time!

…

After teaching Shaduo how to link the [Mirror of Reversal], the two exchanged a few words before Niya found an excuse to leave. Shaduo continued to the Apprentice Management Office and met the two newcomers who had entered the academy. Master Jin.

"Gibson, Harlan, congratulations to you, you have finally become a real mage, but you are just a low-level mage who cannot appreciate the true scenery on the road of arcane magic. Keep up the good work and work hard, I am optimistic about you!"

"Lord Xia Da, I will do it!"*2

"Um!"

Since he still had things to do, Xia Duo simply encouraged him and left in a hurry.
