Arcane Lord

Soon, Xia Duo adjusted his mood and sent a message to Ava, telling him to meet downstairs. After that, Xia Duo opened the door and felt a blast of cold air. At this time, he vaguely heard someone downstairs saying "snow". , "collapse" and other words.

Xia Duo hurriedly ran downstairs, but before he reached the first floor, he saw the scene outside the hotel door on the stairs. It was all white, except for a small patch at the door that had been trampled into black, but the snowflakes as big as goose feathers were still there. Stubbornly trying to dye it back.

"The snow finally came?"

Sha Duo was happy in his heart. The mission was finally over, but then he thought of Dean and others who were still outside. He didn't know what the situation was like over there.

There was only one table of guests on the first floor of the hotel, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman, and a young man dressed as a servant. The middle-aged businessman was having breakfast, while the young man stood aside with an embarrassed look on his face to dissuade his master.

"Master, let's wait until the snow stops before leaving. It's too dangerous to leave now!"

"No, if I can't return home before the celebration, Anne will definitely worry about me. Lord of Glory, how can I let my Anne worry!"

The young servant continued to persuade. After hearing a few words, Sha Duo asked the boss to prepare breakfast. While waiting, Sha Duo took out the Tower of Time badge. The secret mark left by Master Horst on the back was still as clear as new.

If nothing else happens, there should be a notification from above today.

When Xia Duo's stool was not yet warm, Ava also came over. The two of them listened to the argument between the master and servant next to them, and waited for breakfast to arrive.

"Heavy snow is coming." Xia Duo tried to stir up the topic.

Ava said, "Well, it's a little earlier than last year."

Xia Duo looked at the resolute middle-aged businessmen at the table next to him and felt that the heavy snow had come at the wrong time and that many people's plans had been interrupted.

Of course, for himself, the heavy snow meant that he could return to the Mage Tower soon.

"Has there been such heavy snow in previous years?"

"Yes, there are even bigger ones. Many people can't survive the winter."

Seeming to trigger certain emotions, Ava spoke more, "Some people were frozen to death, some were killed by collapsed houses, some starved to death due to lack of food, and some were bitten alive by wild wolves that came out of the forest to look for food. die."

Bang - Two wooden dinner plates were placed on the table for the two of them, a piece of barbecue, a piece of bread, and a bowl of unknown vegetable soup.

The topic was interrupted for a while, and Ava's emotions calmed down a lot. While eating breakfast, he said, "Life is too hard now. It's a blessing to be alive."

Xia Duo didn't know how to answer the question. He couldn't sympathize with the sufferings of people from other worlds. Even if he occasionally witnessed some tragedies, he only had more sympathy.

After all, there is still a layer between them.

"Ava, do you know magic? I believe magic can change everything."

"I also believe that, but not everyone is talented in magic. Those high-ranking mages try their best to forget their origins. Those who have the ability to change will not change, and those who are not capable will always be just vassals."

Aiwa smiled, and his originally stern face turned out to be surprisingly sad. Sha Duo didn't know what Aiwa had experienced, but he couldn't make a promise easily.

He himself is still at the bottom, so what qualifications does he have to influence the world?

He could only respond in silence, as if he could see what Xia Duo was thinking, Aiwa stopped talking, and the two finished breakfast in silence.

The young servant next to him finally couldn't defeat the determined master. The master went upstairs to unload the luggage, while the servant silently prepared the carriage.

When Xia Duo and Ai Wa left the hotel, the master and servant were driving the carriage towards the east gate. In the wind and snow, Xia Duo silently sent them blessings.

The direction Xia Duo and I left the town was from the south gate. When they passed the entrance of Old Neil's Hotel, Xia Duo deliberately took a few more glances. At this time, the hotel door was closed, and there was no clue that a murder had occurred here last night.

But the closed doors speak for themselves.

Shado tightened his cloak tightly, pulled up his hood, and left Savile Town facing the wind and snow.

——"The cleaning task is over! All apprentices return to the military camp immediately!"

Just when he stepped out of the town, Sha Duo received a notification from the Tower of Time badge. It was the voice of Master Horst. Sha Duo slowed down and said, "There is a notification above that the mission is over. I am going to continue with Di." Well, they meet up, what about you?”

Although he can completely return to the military camp now, he promised to go back yesterday, so he must fulfill the agreement.

Ava didn't speak, but he answered Sha Duo with practical actions.

…

A heavy snowfall overnight covered all traces of human existence outside the town, and even the villages outside the town became inconspicuous against the white background.

Only those tall, straight trees that were not afraid of the wind and snow reminded Xia Duo and the two of them of the path forward, but even so, Xia Duo felt like he had traveled to another world.

Without Ava leading the way, it would not be easy for him to find the village where Dean and others lived temporarily.

On the way, Sha Duo paid attention to his surroundings and moved forward cautiously, while trying to contact Sami using [Messaging Technique], but the distance beyond the range of the spell prevented Sha Duo from getting a reply.

In this way, Xia Duo could only move on.

I don’t know how long they walked. When I looked back, I saw that the traces of the two people’s journey had been buried by the wind and snow. Xia Duo asked Ava loudly, “How far is it?”

"There are still about three miles!"

After hearing this answer, Sha Duo quickly drew a simple map in his mind and determined the approximate location of the two of them. They were not far from Dean and the others.

It's just that Dean and the others received the notice from above, didn't they go back? Are you waiting for him to come over and meet up? Or encountered some accident?

Just as Sha Duo was thinking about the scene where Dean and others couldn't wait for Sha Duo to freeze to death and turn into an undead to seek revenge after his death, Ava suddenly stopped. Sha Duo didn't know why and almost bumped into him.

"What happened?"

"There are wolves ahead."

These words directly wiped away all Xia Duo's distracting thoughts. In this case, if only the two of them encountered a wolf pack, it would almost be a tragedy.

Because under the current situation of heavy snow and inconvenient roads, the summoned forest horses cannot outrun the wolves eager to eat.

Ava remained motionless, listened carefully for a while, and said, "The wolves have found prey. It may be Gibb and the others. We need to go there and help as soon as possible."

"Wait, let me contact Sammy first and see if I can contact them."

Xia Duo stopped Ai Wa. Gibb was Ai Wa's friend. It was normal for Ai Wa to be worried, but Xia Duo still wanted to confirm whether the prey of the wolf pack was human.

If Dean and the others did not return after receiving the notice, then [Messaging Technique] would definitely not be able to contact them three miles away. On the contrary, if Dean and the others were near the wolves in front, they would definitely be able to contact them.
