Lord of Arcane

Chapter 131 Summoning Mounts
After Sam left, Xia Duo and Uke chatted a little more and exchanged information about Hexi Village. After that, Uke gathered his team and prepared to go to Hexi Village to solve the mission.

Unlike when dealing with orcs, because the enemy is only goblins, the Uk team only brought a shield, which was carried by Uk himself. The main weapons of the others were all spears. Of course, one-handed swords, bows and arrows are also essential. of.

Xia Duo also chose a one-handed sword in the barracks. Due to the awakening of his blood, his physique is already different from the past. A one-handed sword weighing 5 or 6 pounds is easy to hold in his hand.

He swung the sword randomly in various directions, adjusted the feel of his hand, put it in the sheath, and hung it on his waist.

"Captain Uke, let's go!"

"Okay!" Uke gave an order, "Let's go!"

……

The west area of ​​Savile Town, or also called the civilian area, the temple area.

Most of the ordinary people in the town lived in this area, and of course it couldn't be called a slum area. It was impossible for the real poor to live in the town.

The shrine of the Lord of Radiance is located at the easternmost end of the west area, facing the central square. The first thing Xia Duo and the Uk team saw when passing through the central square was the main hall of the shrine and the civilians who occasionally came in and out of the gate.

After bypassing for a certain distance, Xia Duo and the others continued westward from the side of the temple, passed through the low residential area, and reached the westernmost gate of the town.

Not far from the gate is the Wolfburg River. A quaint stone bridge spans the river, which can accommodate two carriages in parallel.

When Xia Duo first came to Savile Town, he walked on this stone bridge, but when he first arrived in another world, his mood was very difficult to calm down, and he didn't have the heart to look at this stone bridge at all.

Seeing it again now, Xia Duo immediately noticed something unusual.It stands to reason that stone bridges should be made of stones, which is no problem, but there will be no stones that naturally grow into bridges.

As for this stone bridge, through the traces left by time, Xia Duo noticed that this stone bridge is clearly formed in one piece!

There is probably no better explanation than magic.

Stepping on the mottled bridge deck, Xia Duo asked Wu Ke, "Do you know the history of this stone bridge?"

"History? I don't know much about this, but there have always been some rumors in the territory that are difficult to distinguish between true and false about this bridge."

"What rumor?"

Although Uke didn't understand why Xia Duo didn't even know this kind of common sense, he still explained it for him, "Some people say that the bridge is a gift from the elves, some say it was summoned by the first lord, and some say it was It was built by the dwarves, but no one knows if it is true or not."

"Hasn't the lord said that?"

"Who knows! But I don't think this should be summoned by the first lord."

In the end, Uke's voice was inaudible, and Xia Duo didn't ask any more, but he also felt that it was unlikely that the first lord summoned him, otherwise why didn't he admit it?
Xia Duo didn't care who built the bridge. What he cared about was how the bridge was built. If it was built by magic, how could this magic be realized?
While thinking about it, Xia Duo followed everyone's footsteps to the west bank of the Wolfburg River. The scenery on the west bank is particularly beautiful, with endless plains and hills, and villages scattered in a patchwork pattern on it.

Among the eyes, the most eye-catching is an evergreen forest in the northwest, which is the closest forest to Xia Duo and others.

No need to think that there should be the destination this time, Xia Duo pointed to the northwest direction and asked Uke, "Is that there?"

"Yes!" Uke suggested, "Let's go directly to the woods. Everyone in Hexi Village should be there!"

Xia Duo had no objection.

……

From the west bank of the Wolfburg River to the olive grove, there are no stone roads in the township, but all country roads, which are moistened by the moisture after the snow has melted. If you take a step, there will be a muffled sound.

The mud dragged Xia Duo's boots to prevent him from leaving, and soon Xia Duo felt his feet were wet. The weather hadn't completely warmed up yet, and when his feet got cold, he shivered.

Glancing at the members of the Uk team, their boots are not as good as Xia Duo, so I guess they are not feeling well right now.

Xia Duo suddenly felt that he was also a little stupid, insisting on walking by himself, now he has become a level 1 mage, although he has not yet learned [Summon Mount], but he still carries the scroll with him!
It's just a few dozen gold coins. For him now, it can't be said to be trivial. This may not match his net worth, but it is medium, Xia Duo can still afford it.

Greeting Uke next to him, Xia Duo walked outside the team, took out the [Summon Mount] scroll from the scroll box, and activated it with ease.

In the dim light, a robust forest horse suddenly appeared out of thin air, then took a few steps obediently, and approached Xia Duo.

"Wow--"

The soldiers of Uk team let out a neat exclamation. They may have seen mages riding horses, but they have rarely seen mages summoning a live horse from scratch in front of them!
Regardless of their exclamations, Xia Duo jumped onto the horse's back when the forest horse knelt down on its front legs, holding the horse's head, and suddenly felt a sense of comfort and relaxation.

Without any words or action wisdom, this robust forest horse could understand any instructions from Xia Duo, and trotted away.

"Captain Uke, I'll go ahead and have a look!"

After speaking, without waiting for Uke to answer, he directly drove the mount away.

……

Da-da-da-da-da-

The horse ran and jumped happily, but it didn't affect Xia Duo at all. The early spring wind blew on his face with a hint of bitterness, but also gentleness.

Xia Duo sat on the horseback, like sitting on a cloud, so comfortable and soft, if possible, he even hoped to stay on the horseback forever in the future, and didn't want to get off.

This also made Xia Duo feel good about the person who created this magic!

It was too far away to the west, and it took nearly half an hour to walk, but Xia arrived in a few minutes.

It really was an artificially planted olive grove, row by row, row by row, neat and uniform, through which Xia Duo saw order and civilization.

Since he did not hide anything when he came, someone from the woods had already greeted him. An old man brought a middle-aged man to Xia Duoma and saluted respectfully.

"This mage, is he here to help us investigate the goblin?"

Xia Duo hummed, but did not get off the horse, and asked directly on the horse, "What's the situation now? Are the goblins still coming?"

"Responding to my lord, after cleaning up yesterday, another goblin came over today, and they are still gathering. I don't know when they will attack the olive grove." The old man replied.

And the man behind him glanced at Xia Duolai's direction from time to time, and they had already seen the advancing Uk team.

Xia Duo also looked back, Uke and the others seemed to speed up, and they might arrive soon, so he asked again, "How many people are here in your village? Where are the goblins now?"

The old man replied, "There are 56 adults in our village here, and the goblins are gathering in the north of the olive grove, but there are also sporadic ones running into the olive grove."

As soon as he heard that there were so many people, Xia Duo knew that this mission should not have much to do with killing monsters. The real mission was to find out the reason for the goblin's abnormal movement.

Xia Duo pointed to the old man who looked like the village chief, and ordered, "Stay here and wait for the soldiers behind, and ask him to take me to the north first."

The old man didn't dare to refuse, so he hurriedly told his son to listen to what the Master said, and then he stayed where he was and waited, watching the two leave.
