Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1477 Abnormal Behavior Begins to Extend Life

In the cemetery, the confrontation between Brod and Saville did not last long, and finally ended with Saville's voluntary departure.

And on the other side, Severnton.

The fast life extension plan based on directional cloning has also been effectively verified on the elves. In addition, the time is approaching the deadline, and Akoala is in a hurry. pull.

……

Compared with the last time I came here, the location where Xia Duo responded to the arrival of the guiding circle was still the previous mystery room, but the endless corridor outside was not opened this time.

The elf lady directly took him to the previous reception room, where there were still the three previous elves—Akola Mian Wang, Mian Wang's uncle, and Prince Foss.

"Lord Xiaduo, is it your idea to temporarily replace the new plan? Do you know that Akola is now on the verge of subversion. What is your purpose in doing this?"

As soon as Xia Duo arrived, what greeted him was not the expected gratitude, but a question from Uncle Mianwang, military advisor, and high mage Esbylan.

This made Xia Duo feel astonished, and subconsciously looked at King Akola. Only he and King Akola were present at the event that day. Xia Duo must have done nothing himself, so only King Akola was there.

But at this time, Akola's crowned king did not have the sharpness in his eyes that day when he asked Netheril to change the plan in the secret room, but instead had a strong sense of pleading.

And the moment Esbylan turned his head, the other party regained his majestic expression, as if the pleading eyes had never appeared before, and asked along Esbylan's words:
"Lord Xia Duo, do you want to put forward some unreasonable conditions this time?"

"I--"

Xia Duo really wanted to swear at this time, but the pleading eyes of King Akola just now were so clear in his memory, what the hell is this doing?

But it's pointless to argue on someone else's territory, he just briefly stated his mission, and this time he didn't save face for Akoala like last time:
"I am here this time entrusted by the Severton Council to prolong the crowned king's life!"

Hearing this, the faces of the three elves in the reception room were not very good-looking, and Esbylan continued to question: "Are there any other conditions?"

"My tasks don't include those." Xia Duo said coldly.

"Our time is running out, will the new plan be available in time? Are you sure it will work?" Esbylan continued to criticize.

By this time, Xia Duo could see that the new agreement between Netheril and Akoala had been signed, and it was unclear whether they were really ignorant or pretended to be ignorant.

And this family seems to have always wanted him to use the previous heart plan. Could it be that the elf named "Dell" is not the other party's biological son?
For a while, Xia Duo thought a lot, and he faintly felt that he was involved in a certain conspiracy, but he couldn't tell if there was something wrong.

The only thing that is certain is that Akola Crown King must know something, but the other party did not communicate with him in advance, which made Xia Duo a little annoyed.

After that, he didn't explain any more, just watched Esbylan's performance in silence, and the indifference of King Akola.

In the end, Prince Foss couldn't see it anymore, and mentioned, "We have signed a formal agreement with Netheril, and I believe they will not deceive us."

But with preconceived notions, Xia Duo still felt that Prince Foss might also have some problems. How to say that sentence-"There is no such thing as a 40-year-old prince in ancient and modern times!"

Prince Foss has not only been the "Prince" for 40 years, perhaps he does not want the Akola crowned king to continue to live, but he has to support the extension of the crowned king's life due to the current situation.

It is entirely possible to actually plan some kind of conspiracy secretly.

However, Xia Duo is not willing to consider the many undercurrents below the surface of the water. He can say whatever it says literally, as long as his side is impeccable, it will ultimately be a means to fall on the bright side.

And Yangmou ultimately has to be attributed to its own strength, unless Akola completely surrenders to Comanthor, it is still unlikely that their internal conspiracy will affect Netheril.

As for whether Akola will completely invest in Cormanthor and be willing to be a stepping stone for the other party, Xia Duo thinks it is unlikely. Although "I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow" is a proverb in my hometown, but it is speaking of human nature .

And elves, there is no doubt that they can also be regarded as "people" in a broad sense.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help feeling a little bit discouraged, and he planned to complete the task and go home as soon as possible, so he looked at King Akola again, and said directly: "Please also ask King Mian to arrange the spellcasting environment for me."

Without concealing his impatience in his tone, Crown Prince Akoala stopped the chatter between Prince Foss and Esbylan, and then ordered Prince Foss to arrange a palace dinner.

As for Xia Duo, led by the former elf female official, she came to the secret room behind a passage that the banquet must pass through, waiting for the blood to be collected.

All of Xia Duo's action procedures, except for the details of spells that need to be kept secret, have been informed to Akoala in advance.

In fact, the entire process of his mission this time was negotiated by Severton and Akoala, leaving little room for Xia Duo to freely play.

Therefore, it became more and more obvious that Uncle Mian Wang's behavior was too abnormal.

If there is a problem, it should have been raised as early as the negotiation stage, so why make things difficult for him, the executor of this task!

……

During the waiting time in the secret room, neither the Crown Prince nor Espiran's advisor, nor Prince Foss, ever looked for Xia Duo.

In this way until the evening, the elf female officer reminded Xia Duo that the blood relatives of King Xia Duo were about to pass by.

The first is the detection of bloodlines. This spell can only be cast in the presence of the crown king. This spell originally came from elves. For this mission, Akoala also specially provided the elf magic version of this spell.

There is still a certain difference from the translation version of Nether magic provided by Zilan Tower before. The most intuitive feeling of Xia Duo as a spellcaster is that the translation version omits many elements, and can only perceive whether there is a blood relationship between the targets.

The original version of the elf is more comprehensive. In addition to including all the functions of the translated version provided by Zilan Tower, it also has the function of searching for blood relatives from a long distance and sensing the degree of blood closeness.

Of course, Xia Duo didn't think that the Nether version was necessarily worse than the elf version. It may be that Zilan Tower only produced a castrated version at the beginning, but they still kept the full version themselves.
