Lord of Arcane

Chapter 137 Warren Mage
Olive grove, south of the middle.

In the open space between several olive trees, Old Hank pointed to an inconspicuous small stone and said, "At that time, that mysterious man was standing there. When I saw him, he stopped moving."

With the exact location and previous experience in disabling camouflage magic, Xia Duo directly inspected the surrounding magic net background with magic vision, and quickly discovered the abnormality——

It was still a camouflage magic, and Xia Duo carefully dispelled it. What was exposed was still a faint yellow aura, but it was slightly different from what he had just discovered in the north.

Xia Duo carefully checked the changes in the surface layer and the first layer of the magic net, and it was indeed different from before. Next, Xia Duo did not investigate too much, but cast a [Light Art].

With the help of the light, he recorded some information about this unknown magic in the notebook. Xia Duo was here so late to a large extent to obtain more magic materials.

Otherwise, after discovering the unknown magic in the north, you can return to turn in the task immediately.

But now it was getting late, and all the town gates should have been closed. Xia Duo put away his notes, and looked around at the crowd waiting for him to speak. Xia Duo found Uke, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice:

"If you go back now, can you ask to open the town gate?"

"Master Xia Duo, this—" Uke was a little embarrassed, which was beyond the scope of his duties.

But he didn't directly deny it, but made Xia Duo aware of the feasibility, "I must return tonight, otherwise there may be trouble."

"You-Know-Who? But didn't Old Hank make that up?"

"Made it up? The mysterious person can make it up, but the magic here can't be made up casually. I checked it several times, and I'm sure that someone has arranged an unknown magic here. I just lifted the disguise on it. You said this Will the people behind it notice it?"

"This——" Uke broke into a cold sweat suddenly. If he wanted to return to the town from Hexi Village, he had to swim back from the Wolfburg River besides the stone bridge outside the west gate of the town.

And near the Saviland, the narrowest part of the Wolfburg River is more than ten meters. Many team members, including Uke, are not good at swimming. If they meet a mysterious person when they go back, then——

"Master Xia Duo, do you think we will meet a mysterious person? Yes, we will!"

At the end, Uke's voice had risen uncontrollably. Seeing this, Xia Duo quickly comforted Uke, "Don't be nervous, it was just my inference. Didn't you return safely a few days ago? But if today If I stay here, I can't guarantee whether I will meet the other party tomorrow."

"I have a solution!" Uke said immediately, "I know the guards at the south gate, and I have gone in after dark before."

"Okay! Let's go back now." Xia Duo made a decision directly, and asked Uke to notify the other team members to return and bring the old Hanke and his son.

After that, Xia Duo personally dealt with the two goblins who were not low in intelligence. If he had an independent research room in the mage tower now, he might take them back.

But right now there is still a mysterious person hiding in the dark, and Xia Duo is not in the mood to play any "education" games anymore. Taking him on the road can only be a burden, so he can only deal with it as soon as possible.

He believes that there are goblins like this, not to mention everywhere in the wilderness, at least there are many more than imagined.

After doing all this, Xia Duo felt a little more relieved. Although he knew that the duration of this magic was at least calculated in days when he was checking the camouflage magic, no one could guarantee whether the mysterious person would suddenly Fantastic, come and see.

Now Xia Duo is betting that the mysterious man thinks that the apprentice will not be able to discover his arrangement, and will only come to check regularly according to the duration of the camouflage magic.

As well as his extraordinary physique after awakening his bloodline, even if he can't beat him, he can still run away.

……

When they returned, the villagers saw that the old Hank and his son were taken away, and they all smiled. Xia Duo looked at this scene coldly, and summoned his mount.

A group of people set foot on the way home under the welcome of the villagers.

Xia Duo rode in front, and summoned a ball of light, which was chosen in mid-air. Although it wasn't very bright, it at least allowed people to see things clearly.

It was not until the moon rose and the soft moonlight fell on the earth that Xia Duo stopped maintaining [Light Art].

On the other side, after Xia Duo and others left Hexi Village for a certain distance, an alarm suddenly sounded in a private research room in the Tower of Time.

A handsome middle-aged mage stopped what he was doing, first put some experimental materials away, then cast a cleaning spell on himself, and then walked out of the experimental area.

Came to the other corner of the research room, where there was a long table covered with mysterious patterns, a section of which was flashing a warning red light, the middle-aged mage reached out and tapped a corner of the magic circle, paused the siren, and murmured whispered:
"The hint technique has failed? Or has someone discovered it?"

The middle-aged mage came to the other section of the long table step by step, on which was also a delicately structured magic circle, and in the center of the magic circle was a colorless and transparent crystal ball.

I saw him stroke the crystal ball a few times, and read out the auxiliary spell that he had already mastered. The magic net responded quickly, and mist appeared in the crystal ball.

After a while of tumbling, the fog gradually dissipated in the middle, and a picture of a small group walking appeared. The middle-aged mage adjusted his observation angle, and his eyes stayed on the faces of each member of the group for a moment, and finally noticed the old Hank and his son with their hands tied behind their backs.

Seeing that his plan had come to nothing, the middle-aged mage did not get angry, but smiled, "Interesting! An apprentice? You can also find my arrangement! Interesting!"

After laughing, the middle-aged mage immediately took out a badge from the dimension bag, and pointed his finger on the sword-shaped gorse pattern on the badge. A glimmer of light flashed on the pattern, and a gloomy voice came out——

"Warren, what do you want from me?"

"It's nothing, just to remind you that my plan has failed, you can watch for yourself!"

"You—Warren! How can you handle such a trivial matter!"

Upon hearing this, Warren's expression darkened immediately, "First, I'm not your subordinate, you're just a bug hiding in a dark corner and playing tricks, don't throw your temper at me; second, I am an intermediate mage, you are just a low-priced mage with no hope of advancement, even if you don’t need an honorific title, please call me Mage Warren, and give me a final warning, and don’t contact me after this.”

There was a burst of shortness of breath from the other end of the badge, and then it returned to normal, "Sorry, Master Warren, I'm the one who said nothing, but you can't just take the benefits and do nothing! Please work harder on that matter!"

Such a tone is already extremely humble, but Warren is still unmoved, "This side has been discovered, and the risk of exposure is very high. Your previous rewards are not enough!"

"you--"

As if anticipating the fury on the other side, Warren left a sentence, "Come to me after you think about it," and cut off the communication directly.

Putting the badge away, Warren walked towards the experiment area again, preparing to continue the previous experiment, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
