Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1318

"Yueguan family?"

Hearing such a name, Xia Duo didn't need to search his memory exhaustively, he could immediately judge that this was a high-ranking family, but any name involving "sun", "month", and "star" belonged to the family in Comanso. Upper family.

Most of its members are gold elves, and of course there may be moon elves, but at most there are these two types, and there is absolutely no possibility of others.

Even if some love that transcends class occurs, it is difficult to have a good ending.

And after Xia Duo briefly recalled his memory, more information about the Yueguan family also appeared in his consciousness.

Leaving aside the Mooncrown family on the projected plane, although it is related to the main plane, it only serves as a reference and has little meaning, but the [Mooncrown Family] on the main plane is an out-and-out high-ranking family .

Its family history can be traced back to the Crown War period, even before the birth of Cormanthor, and the family has hardly declined since its establishment.

There have been high-level mages in the family members from generation to generation, and there are even some outstanding people who are also famous in history.

This family is well-known, not to mention in Comanthor, even in the entire elf world.

It is very unlikely that the Cormanso investigator impersonates a member of the Mooncrown family, but Xia Duo has never heard of any conflict of interest between the Mooncrown family and the Savile Land.

In addition, Patriarch Orepus mentioned just now that he had already contacted the Moondew Rose family, which was related to the elf refugees, but the other party did not issue a commission.

What's more, how could a small declining family with the "name of the moon" be able to hire a real high-ranking family?
In fact, the elf refugee who was killed by the drow assassin was not a member of the Moondew Rose family at all, but the child of their neighbor couple.

And their neighbor couple had all died during the drow war.

How could the dead elves issue any commissions?What's more, under the guise of the name of the Yuelu Qiangwei family.

This made Xia Duo more certain that the so-called investigator said that he was entrusted by the Yuelu Qiangwei family, maybe he just mentioned it casually, and maybe the other party didn't even know the specific situation of the Yuelu family.

What about the other party's real purpose?
"Chief Orepus, what else do you know about that investigator?"

"Lord Xiaduo, the other party is a member of a high-ranking family. I dare not test too much, but judging from my limited contact with the other party, it seems that the other party does not care about investigating the truth of the death, but cares more about the Savile Land itself."

Orepus's answer made Xia Duo's eyebrows twitch, and his heart was true, but it was not enough to reveal the other party's real purpose, so he simply stopped, looked directly at Orepus and asked:

"Patriarch Orepus, what do you think the other party might be here for?"

Orepus hesitated for a moment, and suggested a possibility—"Could it be because of our spice smuggling business?"

But after finishing speaking, he himself shook his head, "Impossible, we only put 'ivory pepper' and 'bay leaf', the two most common common spices, how could it attract the attention of the Yueguan family? "

However, although he said this in an affirmative tone, he was actually very uncertain. If he wanted to say who had the greatest risk of spice smuggling, it would undoubtedly be the Silver Leaf Family.

The other two parties in the cooperation, whether it is Lord Xiaduo or Lord Collins, even if the smuggling behavior is exposed, at most they will not do it, or change the partner, but the Silver Leaf family will really be in trouble.

Strictly speaking, this is already a kind of treasonous behavior, and it is said that it is still uniting with humans to eat inside and outside, which is even more intolerable in Cormanthor.

For a while, Orepus was afraid to see the investigator again.

"Lord Xiaduo, do you think that investigator really came here for the spice smuggling?"

Ugh--

Xia Duo didn't expect this. If the other party came because of spice smuggling, it might be more troublesome.

This means that the Savile leader will enter Cormanthor's vision for a long time, which is really not good news for Xia Duo.

Of course, the most unlucky ones are the Yinye family. If the Yueguan family wants to participate in the smuggling to get a share, that’s fine. Not necessarily impossible.

However, since the investigator is still safely in the manor, perhaps the matter is not as serious as imagined.

Xia Duo comforted Orepus a few words, and then stopped talking. The two soon came to a garden of flowers on the north side of the manor near the river bank.

The Cormanthor investigator named "Tove" is here!

……

Just as Xia Duo stepped into the courtyard, the instinct of the arcanist made him realize that this Tove investigator is not simple.

In this small courtyard, the magic net environment is almost separated from the outside world, forming a relatively independent private domain.

The core of Netheril's arcane magic system is the Arcane Fire, which is a private magic net. Is there no existence that can compete with the elf magic system?

Arcanists control the magic net with the arcane fire, and even have a high degree of control over the outside world's big magic net environment, while elf mages use their own high degree of compatibility with the magic net to make the outside world's big magic net environment automatically match their own will echo.

The so-called domain is actually the highly compatible area between the magic net and itself. In fact, there is no very strict physical distinction. In the domain, the difficulty of casting spells is reduced and the casting speed is increased.

The only thing that remains the same is the spell itself, but when the prerequisites are reduced so much, the change of direction is equivalent to an increase in the effect of the spell.

Without Arcane Fire and private magic net, it is almost impossible for ordinary spellcasters to defeat elf high-ranking mages, even legendary mages are no exception.

Of course, Xia Duo didn't think that the person in front of him was a senior mage, at most he was a senior mage with outstanding talent, but the probability of becoming a senior mage in the future was very high.

On this side alone, Xia Duo even had the idea of ​​keeping the other party completely in the territory of Naise.

As the saying goes, "the other's hero is my enemy", one more senior mage in Comanthor may not cause a strategic imbalance between the two countries, but it will definitely encourage the arrogance of the other side.

In the future, both belong to the Northland Alliance, so how many disgusting things will happen!

If a future confidant can be solved in advance now, why not do it?

It's a pity that the other party is not defenseless, even if Xia Duo can successfully eliminate her here, what price should he pay?

And the most important thing is - the other party is not without background, once such a gifted and talented mage dies, the Yueguan family behind him will probably go crazy and come to him for revenge.

Since the establishment of the family during the Crown Wars, the Yueguan family has never had any interruption of the inheritance of high mages. Perhaps this talented investigator "Toff" died, and the Yueguan family will have no successors. .

Then how crazy they would be in revenge!
Thinking of the very likely horrible consequences, Xia Duo resolutely gave up the idea of ​​killing "Toffe" here.

"Pity!"
