Lord of Arcane

Chapter 101 Siore Mage

The dinner was arranged to be held at the Tower of Time.

From the central square to the Tower of Time, all the snow on the road has been cleared in advance, making it very convenient for people to settle down. Xia Duo followed the mage in front and walked slowly towards the Tower of Time.

Behind him, the light on the square gradually dimmed, and the soldiers had already begun to guide the onlookers to leave the venue one after another. Of course, when these ordinary people left the venue, each of them could get a large piece of white bread.

When we arrived at the Mage Tower, the pure black portal that was usually only two people wide was completely opened, and we could even see the inner hall from the outside. The dinner table and chairs, busy apprentices, and servants were all clearly visible.

When passing through this door, there is no deep-sea immersion feeling of the usual black door, but it is like a teleportation spell, and it comes to another space in a flash.

"It's so strange!" An apprentice made a surprised voice, but was immediately attracted by the food in the hall on the first floor.

Meat, fish, fresh fruits, vegetables, and the fresh and sweet wine that you can smell as soon as you enter the hall!

Apprentices are no strangers to this taste. They can usually be given a glass of similar elf fruit wine in the restaurant during lunch, but those are just diluted versions brewed by apprentices.

The genuine version is brewed by a dedicated winemaker and is only available to official mages. Unexpectedly, the lord is willing to entertain everyone with genuine elf wine this time.

Others may have heard of the reputation of elf wine, but few people have actually drank it, or even just smelled it, and when the real elf wine is placed in front of them, many people can't help but twitch their noses.

It seems to take all the aroma of wine into the chest cavity.

……

"Master, your position is here!"

Under the guidance of the servant, Xia Duo came to the end of a row of long tables. Perhaps the servant made a mistake and arranged Xia Duo next to an official mage.

Before Xia Duo could remind, the mage next to him took the initiative to say, "Sit down, I remember you, apprentice Xia Duo."

"Uh, Master Mage, you are—"

Xia Duo is still wearing this kind of magic robe now, and there is no name written on his body. For some reason, the mage recognized him, but he has no impression of the other party.

"Material claim office, you have exchanged learning scrolls with me."

In a blink of an eye, Xia Duo remembered that it was the time he exchanged the learning scroll before the mission——

At that time, an apprentice bought a [Fireball Art] scroll, and he called him an idiot, but when Xia Duo exchanged the learning scroll, the other party reminded him to make good use of it.

"It's you, I don't know what to call Master Mage?"

"My name is Xiorei. I already knew that you could survive the tide of orcs. You have gained a lot this time!"

"This—" Xia Duo didn't know what Xiore meant, but he had already sat down, and still wanted to say something, "Master Xiore, I have learned a lot after going through this mission."

Xiore nodded, but then changed the subject, "Xia Duo, the opening time of the Mage Tower is uncertain now, do you have any idea how to arrange the next time?"

The topic turned a little bluntly, the two had only met once before, and one was a formal mage, the other was just an apprentice, Xia Duo was a little apprehensive about this sudden concern.

"I'm going to the library to copy a few books, and then do my own research. I don't know what the mage means—"

cough--

I don't know if it feels a bit uncomfortable to pretend, and I can't pretend anymore, Xiore smiled awkwardly, and then said bluntly, "Are you interested in coming to my laboratory to do something?"

Not interested in!
This was Xia Duo's first reaction. Being courteous for nothing is either rape or robbery. If you think about it with your toes, you can tell that Xiore's real purpose is definitely not to support him.

But there is definitely a place to use him.

It was impossible to agree, but she refused directly and was worried about offending the official mage. Xia Duo was also a little entangled for a while, but fortunately, the bell rang in time for the banquet to start.

The hall was suddenly silent.

This made Xia Duo heave a sigh of relief, and quickly gave Xiorei a sorry look, then looked at the lord who was already seated to speak, and remained silent.

But there were already turmoil in his heart, he didn't even listen to what the lord said, but just heard "the dinner party started", and subconsciously started eating.

Xia Duo only sat on one side of the long table, which was full of spellcasters, and only sat on one side of the opposite long table, full of ordinary people. The two sides happened to face each other, and the lord was a special table.

The servants kept coming and going, and occasionally someone would stand up to talk at the table, but Xia Duo didn't care about it. He just buried himself in eating, and at the same time, he was wondering what the purpose of Xiore was.

The food for the dinner was pretty decent. Even Xia Duo from the foodie empire couldn't find any major faults. It can be seen that a lot of effort was put into this dinner.

Among them, what Xia Duo likes the most is the elf wine. Although there is only a small cup, it makes him drink the taste of nature, as if the whole person is floating in the clouds, roaming freely, which makes people very nostalgic.

And this also made him temporarily forget the doubts brought by Siore.

It wasn't until the end of the dinner that Xia Duo returned to reality. Taking advantage of the gap between Xiore and the adjacent mage, he immediately found an opportunity to leave the hall.

……

After returning to the dormitory, Xia Duo's heart was still pounding.

Although he escaped once temporarily, Xia Duo knew that he could escape the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day. He had to figure out what Xiore wanted to do, otherwise it would be a deadlock.

And even if he knew it, he had to find a way to avoid it. Before he became an official mage, he really didn't want to interact with any mage. In the situation of unequal status and strength, there is no equal communication!

After changing the dress, Xia Duo took out the Tower of Time badge issued by the previous lord. The shape of this thing is similar to the one given to him by Master Horst when he participated in the mission before.

But this one is obviously a magic item. In a state of concentration, it can be clearly seen that it is continuously emitting a faint blue light.

On the front of the badge is a pattern of the Tower of Time and a book, which is the emblem of the Savile family, while a paragraph of text is engraved on the back——

"Shadow participated in the end of the orc wave in Savileland - Epps Savile, Nether 834."

It's not an inscription recording his achievements, it just means that he participated in this year's orc war, but the fact is true, it's just that people are greedy, and Xia Duo is no exception.

This badge is actually a device connected to the tower spirit of the Tower of Time. It can contact the tower spirit outside the mage tower, and if you have enough authority, you can even return directly to the mage tower from the outside with the help of the tower spirit's call.

For apprentices, it's a bit tasteless, after all, apprentices spend most of their time in the mage's tower.

Putting away the badge, Xia Duo continued the counting and summarizing work that was interrupted before.
