Arcane Lord

Three days later, in the magic laboratory at Tashado's residence in Time.

Xia Duo picked up the spell book hovering in front of him, opened it and flipped through it, but quickly closed it again, shrunk it and hung it on his waist.

After all, practice is just practice. No matter how many scenarios are simulated, there is still some gap between it and the real encounter, especially the difference in mentality.

If you continue practicing, you won’t have very good results. After all, the marginal utility is diminishing!

Returning to the outside room, Sha Duo put several books scattered on the desk into his portable space, and then summoned the tower spirit to send him outside the Tower of Time.

After going back to Linshui Village for a while, he returned to the Tower of Time and informed Niya that he was leaving.

There was almost no gap, and a familiar figure appeared in the teleportation room. He had short black hair, soft features, and a petite figure. It was Niya herself.

She stopped in front of Xia Duo as soon as she arrived, and the tension in her voice that was trying to keep calm was particularly obvious, "Why are you leaving so soon? There are still more than ten days before the end of the month, aren't there? A few more days to prepare, What if it’s used?”

"Well--"

Xia Duo had some strange feelings in his heart, but he seemed to find it quite useful. "Niya, this is just an ordinary trip, but you are making me nervous."

"ah?"

Niya was stunned, but quickly realized that she had lost her normalcy and let her emotions take over. However, this feeling was not bad. However, when Xia Duo pointed it out to her face, she felt her face heat up, so Quickly change the topic:

"How are you going to get there? Teleport directly to Rodney Territory?"

"No, I plan to go to Severton first, then teleport to the territory near Rodney Territory, and then slowly fly there."

Even though he knew that this appearance was unlikely to be dangerous, Xia Duo still did not want to put himself in danger. In this kind of territory that had just lifted the hostility, the Mage Tower was the last place he wanted to go.

If it were outside, even if the Grand Arcanist arrived in person, he would at least have a chance to escape, but if he were inside the mage, the road would be blocked.

This is something he must absolutely avoid.

After listening to Xia Duo's plan, Niya also felt that it was safer to do so, and she did not make any other suggestions, but silently moved out of the way.

…

Although it was not the first time to use the teleportation circle, Xia Duo could not help but admire it. From the southern border to Severton, it would take at least a month to get there by boat with good wind and smooth water.

But through the teleportation circle, it took just an instant to cover a long distance from south to north. It was so efficient!

If Xia Duo teleports by himself, although it will be faster than taking a boat, it will need to be teleported many times, and positioning is very important. Unless you are so big-hearted that you don't care about fuzzy teleportation, it is safest and most convenient to take a fixed teleportation circle. .

Having not been to Severton for several months, Xia Duo not only regarded this place as a transit point, but also planned to inquire about the situation here first.

Purple Sky Tavern.

This is not the first time that Xia Duo has come to the property under the name of Archmage Greta. He likes the environment here very much. There is food, drink and tranquility.

Of course, in the eyes of other mages, these can only be regarded as incidental attributes. The real function here is to be able to squat with the Archmage Greta. If you can build a relationship, that is much more important than eating, drinking and being quiet.

As soon as he came in, as Xia Duo expected, the place was almost half full. He walked to the bar skillfully, ordered the "Elf's Dream" which was more famous than the taste, and then sat down quietly.

Although Shado was not well-known in Severdon and even in Netheril, not many people had actually seen him or knew his appearance.

Therefore, even if he did not cover up at all, even if their eyes occasionally crossed, these chess players in the tavern did not realize that the creator of [Arcane Puzzle] was here.

This is what Xia Duo wanted. It is not a good thing to be famous enough that everyone knows it, and controversy will follow. In this real magical world, controversy is not just a matter of words. Real-person PKs are not uncommon.

The [Fairy Dream] was quickly mixed and sent to Xia Duo. Looking at the changing colors of the wine in the glass, Xia Duo smiled softly in his heart, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

It is indeed an exaggeration.

It's not even as good as ordinary elf fruit wine. It may be stronger in some aspects, but in terms of taste, it's already lost by more than one margin.

However, Xia Duo’s real purpose here was not to drink, but to inquire about news. He put down his glass and said to the bartender across the bar:

"I just came here from outside. Tell me about what happened in Severton recently?"

"Guest, what are you asking about? If it's about magic, maybe I don't know as much as the guest does!" the bartender said pointedly.

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the bartender was also a spell caster, but he hadn't been here for a long time, so he had overlooked it.

"Then just talk about whatever you want! It doesn't matter whether it's a big event or an interesting story."

"Since the guests want to hear it, I will tell you. The biggest thing recently is probably the new communication spell patent announced by the Austrian Law Federation at the end of last month!"

"Oh? Tell me in detail!" Upon hearing that it was related to the background communication of the Magic Network, Sha Duo immediately became interested.

Although he was able to get some information from Giles Tower through Niya, he also wanted to see how ordinary mages viewed the background communication of the Magic Network.

"This new type of communication spell is called [Magic Network Background Communication]. There is almost no limit on distance. I heard that someone has successfully contacted Askel's dwarf friend. However, this spell is up to level 5, and the threshold for use is very high. But I also heard that a simplified version has been released, if the customer——"

Before the bartender finished speaking, a customer sitting next to Chateau immediately interrupted the bartender, "Okay, Baker, stop selling your simplified communication spell. Does the Arcanist still want to Buy spells from you?"

After saying that, he looked at Sha Duo apologetically, and whispered: "Your Excellency Sha Duo, Baker just accepted the sales promotion task of Giles Tower, and there is no malicious intention."

Xia Duo was really surprised to be suddenly recognized. He didn't care about promotions or anything. He glanced at the bartender who was getting nervous and said to the strange mage sitting next to him, "Don't worry, he said Very good! What do you call me?”

"Your Majesty Xia Duo is too polite. Just call me Ace. White-eyed Ace, Foreign Affairs Mage of Giles Tower."

Roll your eyes?

Xia Duo paid attention to Ace's eyes. Indeed, the left eye was completely white, which was very strange. However, this was other people's privacy. Although Xia Duo was a little strange, he did not continue to mention it.

However, although he didn't mention it, the action of paying attention fell on Ace's eyes. Ace was quite calm about this, "An experiment error caused this eye to become like this. Fortunately, it only changed its appearance." , does not affect normal vision.”

Of course, what Ace didn't say was that in addition to normal vision, his Byakugan also had dark vision, which is why he was nicknamed the Byakugan.

One mistake resulted in unexpected benefits, and he was quite proud of it.
