Arcane Lord

snap——

A string of sparks suddenly popped out of a firewood in the bonfire. Xia Duo raised his head, rubbed his stiff neck, and then rubbed his cold hands, preparing to continue studying the spell notes.

The moment he lowered his head, Xia Duo suddenly caught a glimpse of a vigorous figure from the corner of his eye, fleeting in the distance. Xia Duo immediately became alert, lowered his voice and shouted: "There's something wrong!"

Dean, who was bored, immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

Jibu also ran over and paid great attention to Xia Duo's reminder. However, they had arranged for people to be on guard around them, and no one except Xia Duo saw the figure.

Sha Duo called Ai Wa, and Ai Wa also expressed his innocence. A high-level rogue only has one pair of eyes, and it is impossible to observe all directions at the same time. "Master Sha Duo, could it be that you saw it wrong? I didn't hear anything just now." Unusual sound."

"Impossible. I can still tell whether it's an illusion. Captain Gibb, please inform everyone to be on alert and prepare for battle."

After arranging the temporary camp, Sha Duo pointed to the direction where he found the mysterious figure, and said to Ava: "Aiva, go check over there and see if there are any strange traces."

With Xia Duo's prestige, although the others were hesitant, they still obeyed the order. When Ava went to investigate, Shado also packed his belongings, especially the hand crossbow, dagger and scroll box.

There are ten poison-quenched arrows in total. Five were used in the previous battle, and now there are five left, just enough to fill the crossbow box. The dagger has also been poison-quenched, but there are probably not many opportunities to use it.

The only magic scrolls distributed above were a [Demonized Weapon] scroll and some of Xia Duo's homemade [Light Technique] scrolls. The others were used in the previous weak battles.

As for spells, Xia Duo felt that dealing with a battle shouldn't be a problem.

He saw Ava squatting on the ground to check something from a distance, then he carefully took a few steps in one direction and squatted down to check again.

For some reason, Xia Duo suddenly felt that things seemed to have become complicated.

Soon, Aiwa came back. Xia Duo couldn't see any result from his expression. Just when he was about to ask, Ai Wa looked at him with a strange look, "Master Xia Duo, there are indeed some traces there."

"What traces? Orcs or humans?" Xia Duo asked impatiently. Just now he was far away, he only saw a silhouette for a moment, but he couldn't tell what race it was, whether it was an enemy or a friend.

"Neither orc nor human."

"What is that? Is it an elf?" Dean laughed, "How could an elf appear here!"

But when Xia Duo heard this, he seriously considered it. He had seen an elf with his own eyes. The figure just now was very strong and strong. It was not impossible to say that it was an elf.

He turned his gaze to Ava, gesturing for him to continue.

Ava did not directly state the conclusion, but described his examination results——

"There are only four or five very shallow marks there, and you can't even see the appearance of footprints. If Master Xia Duo hadn't definitely seen the figure of a humanoid creature, I would have even thought that it was a branch hitting the dead leaves. There are traces left.”

"If we look at humanoid creatures, what kind of creature do you think might be responsible?" Sha Duo asked.

Ava hesitated for a moment, then answered, "Actually, whether it's humans, elves, or any other race, it's possible to do it."

"Why?"

"Because if those four or five traces were left by creatures, ordinary people or ordinary elves would be able to do it. Only professionals with extremely high agility can do it. And there are only those four or five abnormal traces at the scene. This is another reason. It’s something that professionals with high agility can’t do. I think there should be a magic element in it.”

Ava didn't say anything else after that. Sha Duo thought in his mind that leaving such traces would require high agility. Leaving only those few traces might require magic.

This points almost directly to the elves.

Human beings have a limited lifespan. Whether they are rogues or mages, they basically focus on their own fields. It is almost impossible to take care of both at the same time.

How many mages are willing to accept rogue training for many years? If you have this time, you might as well study magic!

There is a very small probability that such a person will appear in the Green Pearl Forest? Xia Duo didn't quite believe it. On the contrary, elves might be older, have longer lifespans, and have enough time and energy to study cross-field things.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see elves in Savil Territory, or even in Netheril as a whole. Many elves like to take risks and travel in the human world.

In a small place like Savile Territory, Sha Duo had seen an elf with his own eyes less than a year after traveling through time.

Xia Duo has no special fondness or dislike for elves, but he knows that elves will not easily embarrass humans. When it comes to embarrassment, there is no way to hide away.

Xia Duo has basically determined that the mysterious figure is an elf. Thinking this, Xia Duo is ready to let everyone off guard.

At this moment, Ava suddenly said, "Someone is coming!"

This made Xia Duo feel excited again, and he quickly asked, "In which direction?"

Ava pointed to the west, "In that direction, about 3 or 40 meters."

"Are you sure you're human?"

Xia Duo was already a little irritated by these sudden situations, "How many people are there?"

"It's definitely human, there's only one person!"

As if to support his judgment, Aiwa also mentioned several details about the person who came here, "He has a medium-to-lower stature and slow steps. He should be an ordinary person without training."

Although according to Ava's judgment, the visitor was just an ordinary person, Xia Duoke was not relaxed at all. What was he doing wandering alone in the forest on such a cold day?

And it's still in the west. The person who lured Xia Duo and the others before was a mage apprentice. He was hunted down alone. It was obvious that his teammates had died long ago.

In this case, people coming from the west are very suspicious.

Xia Duo expressed his judgment and asked others to continue to be alert and wait for the arrival of the human being.

…

On the other side, Master Kenny dragged his tired body slowly through the forest. He finally got rid of his pursuer, but he was unable to enter the spell-casting state because of over-casting.

After running wildly for a long time, even with the support of magic, his physical strength has already reached the limit. Being unable to enter the spell-casting state means that the spell cannot be used and the dimensional bag cannot be opened.

And this also meant that when he was cold, hungry, and his physical strength reached the limit, he could not get any support. He was tired, hungry, and extremely cold. Master Kenny felt that he was about to die.

He now regrets agreeing to Old Neil's deal. Perhaps the best option is to directly threaten Old Neil to hand over the location of the ruins.

It is very ironic that the only person he is seeking to survive is the very person he originally wanted to kill.
