Lord of Arcane

Chapter 136 Dispelling Magic
Seeing that Xia Duo seemed to have discovered something, Uke quickly asked his subordinates to look at the goblin, and he went up to help Xia Duo hold the ink bottle, and followed him to move back and forth in the open space.

And Xia Duo, after recording the abnormality of the magic net here (anomaly disguised as a normal abnormality), found that he could not understand other magics except this disguise magic.

Because the intervention of these magics on the magic net goes deeper than Xia Duo can observe, that is to say, in addition to a 1st-level camouflage magic, there is at least one, at least a 2nd-level mysterious magic.

And these mysterious magics may be the direct cause of attracting the goblins and driving them to attack the olive grove.

Xia Duo can only record these mysterious magic elements about the surface layer and the first layer of the magic net, but he cannot observe or record the deeper layers.

……

In this way, until the setting sun approached the horizon, Xia Duo rubbed his brows and put away his notes, "Finally recorded!"

"Master Xia Duo, what are you—" Uke asked at this time, "Did you find something? The goblin's abnormal movement is caused by magic?"

A series of questions made Xia Duo a little confused. Just now, in order to maintain the spell, he had to pay attention to observe the changes in the magic net. Fortunately, he used the bloodline ability. If he used the [Steam Ray], he would have been tired Get down.

"Captain Uke, it was indeed caused by magic. You go and bring the village chief and his son. I have something to ask them."

"it is good."

Uke responded, turned and left.

And Xia Duo is going to remove the camouflage magic here. Although he has not learned a special way to remove the magic, but according to the principle of magic generation, Xia Duo can also deduce some basic methods.

It is nothing more than the reverse operation of casting spells. If you want to cast spells, you must interfere with the magic net. The echo operation is an operation against this tendency of intervention.

For example, one of the casting elements of the 0-level [Light Art] is to superimpose part of the structure of the magic net, and the echo operation is to separate it and restore it to its natural state. Of course, all elements must be reversed at the same time.

This method of dispelling magic must require the caster to have a good understanding of the specific magic that needs to be dispelled.

If it's not in a hurry, it's okay, you can study it slowly. If it's in battle, if you don't understand the magic used by the opponent, it will be fatal.

Therefore, Xia Duo speculated that there should be another spell that can be used in battle to directly forcibly sort out the structure of the magic net and stabilize the fluctuation of the magic net, which is similar to the effect of suppressing the out-of-control spells in the magic laboratory.

Now Xia Duo can only use the first method - dispelling the magic through the understanding of the elements of casting spells.

And what he knows best is the essence of the magic net on the surface. When the camouflage magic whose most casting elements are 0-ring elements is lifted, Xia Duo sees a dim aura emanating from the mysterious magic.

It spread to the surroundings, covering a large area.

From this dim aura, Xia Duo felt the desire for food and becoming stronger, but Xia Duo didn't care about this extremely superficial temptation, and even felt a little funny for no reason.

But after leaving the spell-casting state, these dim auras disappeared again, and Xia Duo didn't feel that he was affected in any way, maybe it was specially designed for goblins.

Just as Xia Duo lifted the disguise magic here, there was a noise not far away——

"My lord, why did you arrest our village chief? Our village chief is a good man!"

"Yes, my lord, if Hank from the village chief's family hadn't discovered the orcs in advance last year, then our whole village would have been killed by the orcs!"

……

Seeming to be impatient with the noise, Uke patted the scabbard on his waist heavily, pointed to Xia Duo who was checking his notes not far away, and said, "Master Mage is looking for your village chief, what else do you want to say?"

Mage apprentices may not have much deterrent power in the town, but in the countryside, they are full of deterrent power. When Wu Ke mentioned that Xia Duo was looking for the village chief, the few villagers who came with him immediately stopped talking.

But he didn't leave just yet, but followed carefully, and the eyes of the few people collided as if they were discussing something.

"Master Xia Duo, someone brought it."

As soon as he came over, Uke stood beside Xia Duo, and asked the team members to separate the villagers from the village head and Hank. Faced with this situation, the village head was still a little calm, but Hank was a little uneasy up.

He looked at Xia Duo for a while, then at the soldiers around him, and finally turned his eyes to his old father, his lips moved, he was at a loss.

At the beginning, Xia Duo didn't speak, and after seeing Hank's appearance, he was even less prepared to speak first, but stared at the old village chief closely, and at the same time made a ball of fire in his hand, imposing pressure.

Already in awe of the mage, coupled with ghosts in his heart, the moment the old man saw the fire in Xia Duo's hand, he fell to his knees with a plop, "Master, it's none of my business, I was also arrested Forced!"

"..."

Before Xia Duo started asking, the old man clattered and explained everything about the accidental discovery of the mysterious man some time ago. According to the old man, he was completely passive. Threatened not to say anything, otherwise the old man's family will be killed.

In addition to explaining where the mysterious man placed the magic, the old man also took out a small cloth bag from his arms, put his hands on top of his head, and cried, "My lord, these are the gold coins that the mysterious man gave me. There are 20 gold coins in total. I don't have any of them." Dare to move, what I say is true!"

Xia Duo didn't go to pick up the bag of gold coins, but asked, "Then what's the situation with your son?"

At this moment, Hank, the son of the village chief, had already knelt down on the ground, but he kept silent, not daring to do anything to Xia Duo and Uke, but glared at his father instead.

"Hank doesn't know about it at all, it's all my fault!" Old Hank blocked everything he had, hoping that Xia Duo would let his son go.

After Hank heard his father's words, he no longer glared. Instead, he seemed to relax a lot, and even his kneeling waist straightened a little.

All the soldiers around saw this scene clearly, and subconsciously put their hands on the hilt of their swords. They looked at Xia Duo, hoping that Xia Duo would interrogate Hank well.

But Xia Duo didn't want to watch any more family ethics dramas, anyway, he didn't need him to try the case, he just cared about the arrangement of the mysterious man in the olive grove.

Regardless of Old Hank's pleading eyes, he ordered directly, "Take me to the place where you met the mysterious man."

"grown ups--"

It's just that Xia Duo was firm, and he didn't want to and couldn't decide the outcome of their father and son. Old Hanke had no choice but to get up and take Xia Duo to the olive grove.

……

The sky was getting dark, Xia Duo and the Uk team led the old Hank and his son, and two goblins in front, followed by a group of villagers, whispering.

The words of old Hank just now have been spread, and the villagers have already begun to distance themselves.
