Lord of Arcane

Chapter 11 Brightness
"Disarm!"

As the wanderer approached with Xia Duo, the strong man with the shield put away the shield, and the rest of the people also lifted their guards. Shows what just happened here.

"Captain, just a civilian."

Hearing the voice behind him, Xia Duo's heart tightened, but then the sharp blade that had been standing behind him left, Xia Duo turned back quickly, but found nothing.

"Boy, are you frightened by Rad! Tell me, what's going on?" Although he seemed to be making fun of Xia Duo, Xia Duo could still feel his alertness.

However, being able to talk normally, rather than killing them directly, was enough of a surprise for Xia Duo. He took a deep breath and organized the language. Xia Duo said:
"Master adventurer, I want to leave the town. There is a bard in the Lion and Fire Circus outside the town. He is also a Karatu."

Xia Duo emphasized "yes", but did not say whether he was from Karatu. If these adventurers knew Muyan and Karatu people, they would naturally make out that Xiaduo was also Karatu and belonged to Muyan. clan or something.

And if you don't know it, having a spell caster make tiger skin will at least make the other party scruples.

"Wait!"

The strong adventurer left a sentence, and then found the steward in the crowd to discuss it in a low voice. The mage that Xia Duo had noticed before also participated in the discussion and seemed to have a dispute, which made Xia Duo's heart jump. , I don't know what ending awaits him for a while.

In the process of waiting, Xia Duo did not dare to walk around at will, for fear of causing misunderstanding, so he could only observe everything around him. Inscribed with the [Eagle] emblem.

It shouldn't be the Plantage Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief, but even if it wasn't the Plantage Chamber of Commerce, it would not be easy to pass the test smoothly.

Just as Xia Duo was thinking about it, the discussion between the adventurer strong man, the steward, and the mage had come to a conclusion. The adventurer strong man came to Xia Duo with a shield and said:
"You can leave, but you must pay for the wizard's spells."

Hearing the first sentence, Xia Duo's heart was overjoyed, but the latter sentence made him nervous again and paid the price?Money, life, or something else?
Xia Duo was silent for a while, knowing that he could not escape, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What do I need to pay to satisfy the Master Master."

"He just performed a level 0 trick [Brightening Technique]. As usual, you need to pay 5 gold coins." It seemed that Xia Duo couldn't understand, the strong man explained again, "Because of your appearance, give it to our caravan. Caused trouble, only 5 gold coins for casting, which is already a very fair price."

Xia Duo can understand that if a wizard in Savile Town is invited, even a level 0 trick will cost at least 5 gold coins. .

But understanding is understanding, Xia Duo is still reluctant to accept it psychologically. If he is a spellcaster, does he still need to give out these 5 gold coins?

The key is that he only has 5 gold coins, plus a handful of silver coins.

"It's really fair." Xia Duo took out the 5 gold coins that he had stored in his arms and gave them to the strong man.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Obviously, it was impossible for the other party to let him go without paying the 5 gold coins.

What a disaster!Now being able to save money and avoid disaster is a good ending, but just when Xia Duo was about to bypass the caravan's motorcade and walk to the town gate, the strong man stopped him again:
"Give you back your dagger."

I don't know when Xia Duo's iron dagger came into the hands of the strong man, and now it has been handed back to Xia Duo, which is really amazing.

And that wanderer who never appeared in Xia Duo's line of sight left a deep impression on Xia Duo.

After putting away the dagger, Xia Duo left, and Xia Duo was really relieved until he walked out of the town gate and saw the tent of the Lion and Fire Circus not far away.

After this horrific episode, the sky was already bright, and the entire Savile Town seemed to come alive. Outside the town, Xia Duo could hear the screams of women and the cries of children.

Outside the east gate of the town, there was already a long line of convoys leaving. The ponies from the barbarians from the northwest were chewing forage and snorting occasionally, pulling the heavy truck and slowly heading east.

……

Although the Midsummer Festival has passed, the Yuqing of the festival is not so easy to pass. The Lion and Fire Circus will stay in Savile Town for a few days to drain the wallets of the residents of the town, and then bring the purchased goods from Savile Town. Specialties go to the next place.

This is a different kind of caravan.

At this moment, Xia Duo is standing in front of the bard's booth tent, hesitant, not knowing how to speak. Mu Yan is willing to guide Xia Duo to the path of a bard, but Xia Duo did not agree immediately, and now he wants to to seek his asylum.

"Come in, don't stand outside."

Mu Yan's voice came from the tent, and there was a hint of kindness in the words. Xia Duo opened the door and saw what Mu Yan was writing on the table. Xia Duo didn't ask, just waited silently.

"Just find a place to do it, don't be too restrictive. When I saw you from the same clan yesterday, inspiration surged in my mind. I just composed a new song, and I have a few paragraphs left." Mu Yan's expression was a little exaggerated, and he began to read him. some lyrics.

This is a poem about the feelings of a wanderer who lives in a foreign land when he meets people in his hometown. Mu Yan read it twice in a row and asked Xia Duo, "What do you think? Does it taste like hometown minor?"

The hometown Mu Yan said refers to Karatu, but Xia Duo from Earth Huaxia can feel the emotions contained in it. After all, the Karatu in the original game was designed with Huaxia as the prototype.

At this moment, Xia Duo's goodwill and trust in Mu Yan have greatly increased, and it may be good to follow Mu Yan on the path of a bard.

"Mr. Muyan, I want to learn magic from you."

"Why, don't you want to be a mage?" Mu Yan teased, the former Shado wanted to join the mage tower, and even his bard with a spellcasting level of 15 clearly expressed his willingness to be Shado's guide. Man, Xia Duo is still hesitant.

"Mr. Muyan, it's like this—"

Xado didn't hide it, he exiled him from his hometown to Faerun, lived in Old Neil's inn, and said that Old Neil wanted to turn him into a slave, and even contacted the Plantage Chamber of Commerce. He wanted to be as soon as possible. Gain the power to protect yourself.

"The greedy and short-sighted Nite, do you need me to help you deal with him?" A sharp look flashed in Mu Yan's eyes, he would not allow a Karatu to be enslaved.

Since he was exiled to Faerun, Mu Yan has not been able to meet many Karatu people so far. Some of them may be in difficult circumstances, but at least none of them have been enslaved. Hearing what happened to Xado, Mu Yan was not happy.

However, Xia Duo refused again and again, not because he didn't want to take revenge on Old Neil, but because he didn't want to give Mu Yan the impression that he would retaliate.
