Arcane Lord

Seeing that Xia Duo even talked about using the magic scroll, it seemed that it was impossible not to go back today. The three Gibbs could feel Xia Duo's firm will.

But the three of them were worried about Sha Duo's safety, especially Jibu. Sha Duo's safety was directly related to him, so they made a suggestion, "Master Sha Duo, why not let Aiwa go back with you."

At some point, Ava had arrived near the three of them. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Gibb's forced arrangement on him, he still showed considerable tolerance towards this friend who had grown up with him.

Ava nodded and said to Sha Duo, "Master Sha Duo, I can probably guess what you want to do back. If you want to return to the town tonight, you are leaving now. I will follow you. Back."

However, Xia Duo expressed doubts, "I'm riding a summoning mount, can you keep up? It's still quite a distance from here to the town!"

At this time, Dean suddenly said, "Shado, I also have a [Summoning Mount] scroll here. If Ava can use the dimensional bag, he should also be able to use the magic scroll, right?"

Sha Duo was a little touched by Dean's kindness, because he knew that Dean himself only had a [Summoning Mount] scroll, which was his trump card for escaping.

Although they are unlikely to encounter danger from tonight to tomorrow, as long as it is not 100% safe, how can a rational mage give up his trump card so easily!

At this moment, Xia Duo also recognized Dean a little more. Perhaps the relationship between people developed in this situation.

"Thank you, Dean."

"You're welcome. You also gave me a lot of help. Without you, I might not be able to become an official apprentice until now!"

cough--

Ava interrupted the two people's excitement, "I have the scroll myself, Master Shado, just remember to owe me 50 gold coins."

"no problem!"

Xia Daxi, compared to the cost of 50 gold coins, it is more important to have a high-level rogue to accompany him. Although after a magical dream last night, his power has become much stronger, but who doesn't want to have more insurance!

In a few words, Xia Duo persuaded the three Gibbs. As for Sami, they only explained a little. After that, Xia Duo and Aiwa left the team and came to a stone pillar outside the village.

Although Sha Duo has never used the 1-level [Summoning Mount] scroll before, the scrolls purchased from the Chamber of Commerce have common activation methods, and they can even be exactly the same as those taught by the Mage Tower before.

As for the specific fine-tuning of this scroll, Xia Duo did not obtain it from the Chamber of Commerce, but this did not affect his actual use, but it could not be 100% successful.

Fortunately, fate was kind to him and he succeeded once and for all. Otherwise, he would have to return to the village to borrow a copy from Dean.

[Summon Mount] is a very classic level 1 magic. The feeling of summoning a creature is completely different from summoning a dead thing. This even makes Sha Duo feel the pleasure of creation.

This is a forest horse with gray-brown hair. It has a strong body and well-developed limbs. You can feel the slightest warmth when you touch it with your hands.

Not only that, Xia Duo even felt that he had the same mind as this forest horse.

Although he does not know how to run with four hooves, he can flexibly command the horses to perform various difficult movements.

If he wasn't in a state of concentration, this forest horse would be emitting a faint blue light. If he only observed it with the naked eye, Xia Duo would not be able to distinguish it from ordinary creatures.

Maybe this is the magic of magic.

Here, Sha Duo had just summoned a mount, and Ava was already on the horse. He also summoned a forest horse, and it was stronger and more powerful than Sha Duo's horse.

Just as Xia Duo wanted to get on the horse, his mount automatically bent its forelimbs, waiting for him to mount it. Xia Duo looked at the smooth horse's back, not minding that there was no saddle, and got on the horse.

As soon as he got up, Xia Duo felt like he was sitting on the sofa. The bottom was very soft and comfortable. Xia Duo tried to drive the mount to take two steps. There were only slight ups and downs and no violent bumps at all.

Sha Duo was very satisfied and shouted to Ava, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he drove his mount and galloped away to the north.

…

The sky was getting closer to dusk, but the heavy clouds covered the afterglow of the setting sun, making the whole world dark. Xia Duo was worried that the town gate would be closed early, so he had to keep urging his mount and gallop away.

Tiny snow particles hit his face, like needle pricks. Xia Duo just pulled his hood to cover his face more, but his eyes, which were always exposed, became the target of the snow particles' desperate attack.

Xia Duo did not dare to turn his eyes away, staring at the road ahead, adjusting the direction of his mount at any time.

As he got closer to Savile Town, the long-suppressed anger in his heart became more and more intense, but at the same time, his brain became clearer.

Xia Duo knew that he could not directly challenge the order of the territory, but under the darkness, all sins could be covered up.

Along the way, Xia Duo didn't say a word, and Ava was even more boring. Both of them just kept their heads down and rushed. In this way, before the town gate closed, the two returned to Savile Town from the east gate.

The tide of orcs has made the once prosperous East District extremely deserted. The armed forces of many chambers of commerce have suffered heavy losses, and now they have put away their fangs and licked their wounds.

On the surface, no one can say anything wrong with the lord. However, privately, many chambers of commerce still bring various constraints to the territory, which can be seen just from the expressions on the faces of the merchants in the East District.

Ava had already disappeared when he was at the door. Xia Duo entered the town alone, but he knew that Ava should be staring at him not far away at this time.

This gave Xia Duo some peace of mind.

When he came to a clothing store in the East District, Xia Duo bought a piece of clothing similar to the one worn by the deceased mage before, and put it directly on himself.

After pulling out the hood inside and carrying it on his head, Xia Duo quickly headed to Old Neil's Hotel with his head lowered.

…

As night fell, it was time for dinner, and Old Neil's Inn began to become lively. Due to the recruitment war, the number of adventurers was greatly reduced.

However, most of the residents who have taken refuge outside the town have not yet returned to the village. Some young men like the atmosphere of Old Neil's Inn. In order to hear more adventure stories, they come here to sit there even without telling their families.

Encouraged by the adventurers, these young men turned their little private money into drinks that represented courage. This made Old Neil, who had recently had less income and more expenses, feel a little relieved.

He put the heavy wooden wine glass in front of a young man and said, "Here, have another glass. Old Neil's ale is plentiful and cheap!"

The young man had already drank a lot, but he still couldn't resist Old Neil's deception. He took out a few copper coins, put them on the bar, then picked up the wine glass and drank.

At this moment, Old Neil suddenly noticed a man wearing a hood entering the hotel. The brim of the hat was held down so low that his face could not be seen clearly, but the clothes made Old Neil feel particularly familiar.
