Arcane Lord

After a moment of silence, Xia Duo gradually came out of the serious dissatisfaction in his heart. Now that the matter had come to this, he could not make other choices.

Looking at the calm-looking Ozkaz across from him, Shado suddenly smiled and asked in a calm tone: "What do you want me to do?"

Ozkar didn't seem to expect that Shado would accept the reality so quickly. It was a bit unlike the reaction of a young man. However, he still gave a look of approval to Shado's reaction:

"Lord Shado, you have made the right choice. Don't worry, I guarantee you will survive 100%."

Haha, Shado can't rest assured about a teammate who was considered a hostile relationship not long ago. Compared to Ozkar, he would rather believe in Greta who tricked him.

But Greta can't believe it all. What Shado really believes in is himself. He believes that if he is fully prepared, he can still stand even against the great arcanist.

"Lord Rodney, let's talk about the mission. What is the method of assassination? If I don't know anything, I would rather face the wrath of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"This is the young man!"

Lord Rodney smiled, then looked solemn, and began to introduce in earnest, "I don't know how much information you know about Rodney Territory, but what I want to tell you is that today's Rodney Territory is no longer there. I'm under control.

"From the moment they see you and confirm your identity, you may face assassination at any time, even in this hall. If it is an assassination by an ordinary person, then I want to congratulate you. This mission is really an easy one. Incomparable Rodney collar trip!

"If it is an assassination by a spell caster, I am very confident that I can stop the opponent before the assassination comes. The most dangerous thing is the assassination with the help of unknown magic items. With this kind of uncertainty, even if I am a senior arcanist, it is difficult to definitely stop it. , you have to understand this!”

"I see!"

"That's good. In order to prevent them from giving up the assassination, I won't bless you with any protective magic, but I will provide you with several protective magic items. I hope you can survive!"

"Who are they?"

Xia Duo finally asked the most critical question. Before Greta came, she told Lord Rodney that he had offended a great arcanist and turned to the Seven Towers Group. As for who it was and what the reason was, Greta didn't say.

And now, Ozkar told him that the Rodney Territory was no longer under his control. Why? Xia Duo couldn't figure out the key for a while.

But the person involved is right in front of you, so it would be foolish not to ask.

Facing Shado's inquiry, Ozkar's face showed real emotions for the first time that were different from the joy and enthusiasm he pretended when the two met before.

Anger and fear were so real that they could even infect Xia Duo, which made Xia Duo unable to help but move.

If a senior arcanist can reveal such real emotions of anger and fear, then it’s self-evident what “they” are referring to——

An alternative existence that is different from the normal Grand Arcanist. At least in terms of complying with the unspoken rules, that existence is very unqualified!

For a moment, Xia Duo flinched. The weak ones who don't obey the rules can be killed directly. If the ones who don't obey the rules are strong ones, it will be uncomfortable!

But at the same time, Xia Duo also realized that as long as that existence was not exposed, once exposed, he would definitely be ostracized by the mainstream, or even destroyed, depending on the severity.

Maybe I am currently on top of the mainstream.

At this moment, Ozkar also said the answer that was a bit difficult for him to say, "They are my former subordinates, people, and my former friends! Of course, there are also people who came from there!"

So that’s it, it turns out to be this kind of overhead method!

Xia Duo couldn't help but wonder what kind of existence possessed such power. Even his subordinates, people, and friends would betray him!

From what Ozkar meant, it seemed that most of them had betrayed. This was not something that could be achieved by pure strength. There must be some factor that he was still not aware of.

Maybe it's some kind of control magic, maybe it's some kind of brainwashing education of thoughts or beliefs, or it's even possible to replace people, maybe it's a combination of multiple methods.

Xia Duo has read a lot of novels, movies, and TV series. The performances in them may not be true, but at least they can provide a lot of feasible ideas.

As for which one it is, maybe even Ozkar may not know, and of course he may not say it if he knows it.

"Who is behind them?" Xia Duo asked in a deep voice.

It is impossible for Ozkar not to answer this question, and if he does not know the answer to this question, then Shado will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"I can't tell you his name, and I can't even reveal anything related to him. The only thing I can tell you is that he was recently targeted by the man from the gray-white spiral tower!

"If you know something about the recent situation in Netheril, then you know who I'm talking about. If you don't know, I advise you not to make random guesses. I don't care if you commit suicide, but don't harm anyone. I!"

Ozkar's cryptic look made Shado feel a little chilly. In fact, when Ozkar mentioned the gray-white spiral tower, a name appeared in Shado's mind.

The most terrifying thing is that he mentioned this name himself not long ago, and even asked Niya to inquire about that person. If this name really has some kind of taboo, then——

It’s really seeking death!

"Lord Rodney, I kind of know who it is! I wonder why I can't say his name?"

"It's not that you can't say it, but if you say it, he will know it, and even directly see what happens here." Ozkar's face was gloomy, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.

This kind of existence?

Shado immediately thought of the immortality ritual he had seen in the mysterious temple underground in the Severton Temple area. According to Greta, the Archmage Sandro would have an extraordinary perception after the ritual.

As long as others mention his name, they will be perceived by him.

Could it be that the person in the Tower of Wisdom also performed the immortality ceremony? Or is it some kind of special detection spell?

What the truth is, probably only he knows.

For a moment, Xia Duo's thoughts flew very far away. He knew that maybe his name was already placed on that person's desk, which was really unlucky!

…

On the other side, Rodney leads the town hall of Nanta Township.

Larry sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, looking at the people below him looking back and forth. The impatience in his eyes finally reached the extreme. He walked straight to a gray-robed mage and asked coldly:

"How long will the discussion last? Isn't it difficult for the master's order to be implemented?"

The gray-robed mage in front of him seemed to be attracted by Larry's power and turned his head to avoid Larry's sight, but his move angered Larry even more.

Larry was about to reprimand when a middle-aged mage sitting next to him suddenly said, "That's enough, Larry, the master asked us to obey your orders, but the master did not ask us to obey your orders and cause trouble! That Shado Don’t you know who the lord is? Why do you want to cause trouble for the master?”

"NO, I have not!"

Larry subconsciously retorted, but he quickly realized that he was the biggest here. Even if the other person was a great mage that he once needed to look up to, he had not become the subordinate of a small low-level mage like himself!

The master is the greatest!
