Arcane Lord

As soon as the man entered the door, he walked directly to the second floor. His pace was not too hasty or too slow, as if every step he took was stepping on Old Neil's heartbeat.

Old Neil's heart was excited, and he had already guessed the identity of the visitor. At this moment, a low, cold voice came to his ear——

"Come!"

Old Neil didn't dare to neglect, and quickly called Susan from the kitchen to deal with the guests. Then he went to the second floor. When he saw Master Kenny coming back, Old Neil knew that he must have killed Xia Duo. .

In a happy mood, the steps under my feet became a little brisker.

Sha Duo heard the footsteps gradually accelerating behind him and pushed open an empty room at will. Within a few seconds after entering, Old Neil followed and asked impatiently:

"Sir, that matter——"

However, before he finished speaking, he felt a cold feeling on the back of his right hand, and then his whole body became numb, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

Old Neil was horrified, thinking that Master Kenny had cast some strange magic again, and wanted to beg for mercy, but found that even his tongue was a little stiff.

"Old man, please don't kill me, please."

For fear of angering the mage, Old Neil did not dare to shout loudly. He just squeezed out a low cry for mercy from his throat. Xia Duo watched Old Neil's performance quietly and controlled the dagger in Old Neil's other hand. Another stroke.

Although his body was paralyzed, his basic senses still existed. He felt another coldness in his left hand, and Old Neil's heart also felt cold. He didn't understand why Master Kenny treated him like this after returning from a trip!

Doesn’t Master Kenny want to know the location of the elf ruins? Or did the attack on Xia Duo fail again?

For a moment, Old Neil's thoughts were flying in his mind, and he knew that he was in big trouble now!

Gradually, Old Neil no longer begged for mercy, and seemed to have accepted his fate. After Xia Duo made a stab, he stepped forward and kicked Old Neil over.

Afterwards, Xia Duo calmly closed the door and lit the oil lamp. With the light of the oil lamp, Old Neil, who was lying on the ground, finally saw clearly the face under the hood of "Master Kenny".

It's him!

There are no words to describe Old Neil's thoughts at this moment. His mind is blank at this moment. He never imagined that Master Kenny's personal action would allow Sha Duo to escape again, and even come to his door!

"It seems you still remember me!" Xia Duo said calmly, "Have you figured out how to die?"

Old Neil was desperate, but his survival instinct still drove him to beg Xia Duo for mercy, "Please spare my life! I will definitely repay you!"

Then, Old Neil promised to give Xia Duo monetary compensation, and even said that if Xia Duo needed it, he could come to him at any time.

But Xia Duo remained unmoved. When the undead attacked, he was ready to kill Old Neil immediately, but was delayed by the standby notice from above.

When he saw the pajamas in the Necromancer's dimensional bag, the anger and hatred in his heart had reached the limit. He would rather waste two [Summoning Mount] scrolls and rush back overnight to deal with the matter.

If we only consider rational choices, it would be better to come back the next day, or even come back after the mission is over, but how can people be purely rational?

"Where are my slippers?"

Seeing Xia Duo finally speaking, Old Neil suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, "The shoes are in my room, and I have never worn them once. Really, I swear to the Lord of Glory!"

"hehe!"

Xia Duo actually didn't believe this. After all, without the witness of the clergy, the oath would not really come true. Oaths sworn by the Lord of Glory are credible in most cases.

But now, in order to save his life, the authenticity of this oath will be greatly compromised, and Xia Duo has seen Old Neil's integrity.

"What did you use to instruct the mage to kill me?"

Xia Duo is still very interested in this. He is naturally very excited about something that can make a formal mage excited. If he can get it, he might not have to worry about gold coins for a long time.

"Tell me, what can you, an ordinary person, do to impress an official mage?"

Asked this question, Old Neil stopped talking. The glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again. He knew that no matter whether he told the secret of the elf ruins or not, Shado would not let him go.

As for using other things to get through, the only thing he could think of was the elf friendship necklace, but unfortunately it had been taken away by Master Kenny.

Seeing that Old Neil was silent, Xia Duo suddenly felt a little boring. The pleasure of revenge also became a little boring after being mixed with additional factors. Xia Duo sighed, took out the hand crossbow, and shot Old Nial with one arrow. you.

Let him go to hell with his so-called secret!

After killing Old Neil, Xia Duo turned off the oil lamp and sat in the room for a while to get the hatred out of his mind. Now he could finally understand what "emptiness after revenge" meant.

Fortunately, revenge is not the whole of his life, not even part of it. It can only be said to be a small adjustment and an episode. Xia Duo quickly gathered his mood and stood up.

…

The room that Old Neil mentioned before was not his bedroom downstairs, but a special storage room on the second floor. Through the unique design of the building, it created a room that people subconsciously ignored.

Sha Duo had lived on the second floor for more than half a year. He had seen Old Neil enter that room with his own eyes. After taking out the key from Old Neil, Sha Duo went directly to the door of this special storage room.

This storage room is not somewhere else, just next to the small room where Chateau lived for half a year. After trying two keys, Chateau opened the door with the third one.

There are not many furnishings inside, there are only two shelves, one on the left and one on the right. You can almost see them at a glance. Xia Duo's pair of slippers are placed in the middle of the third shelf on the left side. The Pikachu on the shoe is facing Xia Duo. Discharge!

In addition to this pair of slippers, the shelves also contained silverware, statues, accessories, ledgers, gold coins, and even a few small bottles filled with unknown liquids.

Xia Duo didn't know much about the prices of these things, but there were two elf-style silk scarves among them, which made him look at them a few more times. During the Midsummer Festival, Xia Duo had seen similar ones at the booth of the Lion and Fire Circus. A silk scarf costs 200 gold coins.

He was shocked at the time, but now that he sees a similar silk scarf again, he is no longer as shocked as before.

This time, except for getting back his slippers, Xia Duo carried everything else he could carry with him. Fortunately, his power became stronger because of that magical dream, otherwise he might not be able to take much!

"time to go!"

With the loot in hand, Shado did not go down the stairs to the main entrance, but took the same route he used to escape from here - jumping out of the window in the small room next door.

Revisiting the past experience can be regarded as a satisfactory end to this episode.

"Master Xia Duo, is everything going well?"

In the darkness, Ava's voice came out.

"all the best!"
