Arcane Lord

After leaving the smelly troll display tent, Shado returned to the town from the other side of the circle of tents surrounded by the circus.

When I came here before, I only saw half of the ring, and there was another half that I didn't see. I just happened to take a look when I came back to gain some insights. As for the middle area surrounded by tents, Xia Duo was not going to waste 1 gold coin on it. What a great show to watch.

What can he do with 1 gold coin? If he can successfully enter the mage tower and become a servant in three days, there will be many places where he needs to spend money. He has no family support in Savile Town, so he can only rely on himself for everything.

The half circle of tents on the other side is not much different from the half circle when they came. They are still filled with various groceries.

From fish hooks, sewing needles, parchment, glass bottles, etc. with a few silver coins, to magic items and works of art worth hundreds of gold coins, everything is really eye-opening to Xia Da.

After looking at the tent stalls one by one, Xia Duo finally stopped in front of a stall. Naturally, what attracted him was not the lifelike small wooden sculptures on the stall, but the stall owner.

This stall owner was a little different from the stewards at the previous stalls. Those stewards basically wore the same style of leather armor, with a lion emblem roaring in flames engraved on the conspicuous part of the leather armor.

But this stall owner only wore a yellowed linen robe, with a gray cloth belt tied around his waist, and a half-arm-long piccolo stuck on the cloth belt, which seemed to be the reason for frequent use.

The entire body of the flute has a rounded luster.

But this is not the point. The point is that this stall owner, like Xia Duo, also has black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and soft facial lines. If Xia Duo didn't still have basic sense, he would almost shout in Chinese—— Fellow fellow, are you here too?

Unfortunately, Xia Duo, who has been living in another world for more than half a year, really wants to return to his original home. At least on earth, he doesn't need to worry all day long, fearing that he will be kidnapped by a passing mage one day.

Now I suddenly saw a stall owner who was suspected to be a fellow villager. You can imagine how excited Xia Duo was.

"Purification wood carvings, 1 gold coin each, don't touch it if you don't want to buy it." The stall owner's words made Xia Duo calm down immediately.

Only then did he notice that these wood carvings were basically the same object, but in different shapes. As for the purification function, Xia Duo couldn't tell. He was about to leave, but the stall owner stopped him again——

"Are you from Karatu?"

Xia Duo was stunned and immediately realized that the stall owner was talking about [Kara-Tu], the legendary Eastern Continent. There are two versions of Kara-Tu in the game that Sha Duo played before traveling through time. It may be that it was in another crystal wall. system, and may also be on the same planet as Toril with Faerûn.

What the reality is, Xia Duo doesn't have enough knowledge to judge it.

But it is rare to meet a Karathur, because the game before time travel did not mention it at all. During the Netheril period, there were actually Karathur on the continent of Faerûn.

Although the Karatu people also have black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, Xia Duo would not admit that he was a Karatu person, especially in front of a Karatu person, but he did not completely deny it, after all, the appearance is here.

"I don't know if I am from Karatu. I came here less than half a year ago because of an accident. Boss, are you from Karatu?"

"Yes, I am a Karatu person, but Karatu is the name of the Nese people. We call ourselves [Daxia people]." The stall owner said a strange-sounding word. Xia Duo was sure it was not Chinese. , but it seems somewhat similar.

Xia Duo tried to speak Chinese, but unexpectedly the stall owner immediately became happy, "You should be speaking [Daxia dialect], maybe a dialect of Daxia dialect. Although I can't understand it, I can It must definitely be related to Daxia.”

The [Daxia] mentioned by the stall owner should be the real name of his hometown, but unfortunately Xia Duo is not from Daxia, but he irresponsibly guessed that it was probably because of the setting of Karatu in the game. It's from China.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, I could actually experience the similar feeling of traveling through time and space.

After that, the stall owner also spoke a few words in Daxia dialect, but Xia Duo didn't understand a word of it, so the two could only continue to communicate in Nese common language.

During the conversation, Xia Duo learned that the stall owner's name was Mu Yan, and he also came to Faerun for unknown reasons. However, he had better luck. When he first came here, he was still young and was teased by a kind-hearted man. Bard adopted.

Since then, he has followed the bard around the world. In addition to the mainland of Netheril, he has also visited some foreign countries, such as Cormanthor in the east, the Ellan Kingdom of Erlan in the west, and even along the narrow sea in the north of the empire. In the west, I have seen the barbarian and dwarf countries.

It can be said that he is well-informed.

Xia Duo and Mu Yan chatted quite well. Of course, most of the time, Mu Yan talked and Xia Duo listened. The bard's eloquence told his wandering experience in a moving way. Xiao Neil couldn't help but be fascinated by those fantastic stories. Fascinated by the experience, both of them had forgotten about rushing back to the hotel to help.

After learning that Xia Duo had participated in the Mage Tower assessment, Mu Yan made a suggestion——

"Xia Duo, the path of a mage is not that easy. I have heard about the mage lords in Savile Town for a long time, but after the disappearance of Savile's great arcane, the Savile family began to decline. The lords of this generation did not even exist. If you can successfully advance to the level of Arcanist, I can guide you on the path of the bard. I consider myself no less than that mage lord."

Xia Duo's eyes lit up, but he also felt awe-inspiring in his heart. Mu Yan must have some confidence if he could say something as good as the lord, but Xia Duo couldn't see it.

However, becoming a bard can indeed gain the power of magic, and with Mu Yan's protection, when there is no other choice, Xia Duo is naturally a hundred or a thousand willing, but the problem is, this Mu Yan Is it trustworthy?

The lord of Savile Town, his mage tower is located in the northwest corner of the town. He has a good reputation in the territory and is very friendly to the civilians. Although he is often obsessed with magic research, he does not delay the management of the territory at all.

Emotionally speaking, Xia Duo was willing to believe in this mage lord.

But how credible is what Mu Yan, a wandering bard, said? If you follow him to learn spells, you will inevitably continue to wander with him. How many dangers will you encounter during this process, and how to calculate it?

Xia Duo was silent. If he could pass the mage tower test, it would be better to stay in the town. If he failed, it seemed that the only way to obtain the power of magic was through Mu Yan.

Xia Duo did not refuse on the spot, nor did he dare to refuse on the spot. God knows whether Mu Yan would give him a spell, "Mr. Mu Yan, can I know about the bard's situation?"

Mu Yan pondered for a moment, "Bard, bards cast spells by reciting poems, chanting, singing love songs, humming melodies, whistling, playing musical instruments, or playing and rapping at the same time, although they are not as good as mages. Comprehensive, but definitely not weak. Do you want to listen to a song from me?"

While the two were talking, a few more people came to the stall. At this time, Xia Duo's curiosity overrode his vigilance, "Of course I do, is this okay?"

"Of course, it can be considered as a small gift from me to my fellow countrymen."

Mu Yan did not use the piccolo stuck in his belt, but took out an elf harp from his waist, leaned it on his shoulder, and strummed it a few times, making an ethereal sound that made people feel refreshed physically and mentally.

After a brief prelude, Mu Yan sang——

"Beautiful Daxia, my hometown!

“The rivers flow and the mountains are majestic!

“The hard-working people of Daxia love life!

"..."
