Lord of Arcane

Chapter 148 Liardon Chamber of Commerce

In the southern area of ​​Savile Territory, in the private house next to the tavern.

Several people who looked like adventurers were discussing something in a circle. At this moment, a rune suddenly lit up on the table, and the leader immediately signaled everyone to silence.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud knock on the door, and the leader made a careful distinction, showing a relaxed expression, "Someone is coming, go and open the door."

As soon as the words fell, an adventurer walked out, and soon came in with an adventurer. The newcomer knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered the room, and reported respectfully:
"My lord, there is news from the guild that the task has changed, and it has become an investigation of the murderer."

"Your people didn't get involved, did they?"

"No, my lord, you told us not to touch that task."

"Go out."

"Yes."

After the messenger left, several people formed a circle again, "It seems that everything is going well, let them discover that thing by themselves!"

"Master is wise."

"Hehe." The leader twirled his beard and laughed, "It's just taking advantage of the fact that no one is hosting the mage tower. Prepare to prepare, we will withdraw tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Could it be that Ai—"

"Shut up!" Before the subordinate could speak, the leader pointed at his mouth, and the person who spoke opened and closed his mouth up and down, but he didn't make a sound.

"My lord!" The others seemed shocked as well.

After sealing the subordinate's throat, the leader breathed a sigh of relief, and his face recovered a little, "Idiot! Don't drag us down if you want to die!
"Did you know that when an advanced arcanist is advanced, the mage's perception is very keen! As long as someone calls his name, he will perceive it!

"Although Epps didn't show up, this is not his advanced stage. As long as that person reminds him, if someone is doing trouble in his territory, you and I will die here!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be still angry and scolded an idiot again, and the person who spoke just now was also full of fear at the moment.

"Forget it, let's withdraw today instead of waiting for tomorrow."

Perhaps they were really frightened. The leader gave an order and brought the evacuation time to today. The others did not object and went to other rooms to pack their things.

Soon, a white light flashed, and several people disappeared, leaving only an empty room that seemed to be telling something.

……

On the other side, in the living room of Felbos Villa.

Mrs. Patty stopped in front of Xiaduo, "Lord Xiaduo——"

Xia Duo sighed, "Things may be far more complicated than you imagined. I don't want to get into this troubled water. It's not in my interest."

This attitude can be said to be very clear, but Mrs. Patty is still unwilling to give up persuasion. Xia Duo's detection spell shocked her before. If it weren't for Xia Duo, maybe she would do something to Felbers' body in the end .

This is not what she expected, and Xia Duo is the one who changed this. She has a kind of confidence in Xia Duo, "Master Xia Duo, I can increase the remuneration, double or triple!"

This woman is really crazy!But gold coins are indeed very tempting, Xia Duo hesitated.

At this time, Kaili, who had long been extremely envious and jealous, couldn't help but provocatively said, "Xia Duo, are you going to give up like this? Are you afraid? Lord Kaili is not afraid!"

Mrs. Patty immediately turned around and thanked Carey, "Thank you, Mrs. Carey."

This reaction, this speed seems to be waiting for this moment, so fast!Xia Duo was a little speechless, aren't you overly sad?

"Mrs. Patty, have you ever thought that you will find the Mage Tower in the end? Carey, have you thought about this problem?"

Although it is unlikely that the lord did it, involving a certain mage in the mage's tower is also a trouble, and Xia Duo doesn't want to provoke trouble that can be avoided obviously.

In other words, these gold coins are not enough for Xia Duo to confront an unknown group of mages.

And Kaili also hesitated, no one is a fool, he can take the task for the gold coins, but he will definitely provoke the mage in the mage tower for the gold coins.

He is just a newly promoted mage who is not much better than an apprentice.

Even if he temporarily agrees, he will still do what he should do later, but in front of Xia Duo, he doesn't bother to lie, and silence is his answer.

So it became obvious on the scene. Seeing that the two mages were planning to back down, Mrs. Patty showed her cards, "My lords, I can be sure that this matter has nothing to do with the lord, and if you find the murderer, the lord You will definitely be rewarded!"

"This is impossible!"

Carey retorted subconsciously. He glanced at Xia Duo and asked Mrs. Patty, "What is the relationship between Felbers and the lord?"

"I don't know exactly what the relationship is, but a lot of trade in the territory has to go through Felbos' Chamber of Commerce, and the lord is very polite to Felbos." Mrs. Patty said affirmatively.

Now even Xia Duo was a little suspicious. Did this woman tell such a lie just to let them continue the investigation?
Xia Duo didn’t know what Felbers’ Chamber of Commerce was, but Kaili knew it, and he retorted again, “Impossible, I know the Lyadon Chamber of Commerce, although it has some historical background, it is already half dead now—— "

But before he finished speaking, Kaili suddenly fell silent. Why would a half-dead chamber of commerce pay a lot of money to investigate the murderer?And why post missions in the Mage Tower?
Carey felt that he was a little out of his mind, and he subconsciously looked at Xia Duo, hoping that he would say something to support his point of view.

But Xia Duo had never even heard of the name of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce before today, so what can he say?So he ignored Carey's gesture and turned to Mrs. Patty, hoping she could explain clearly.

If it is true that the lord can be ruled out, then Xia Duo is still interested in participating, but then he has to worry about more competitors, maybe they are already on the way now.

Suddenly, Xia Duo felt a little urgent, "Mrs. Patty, please explain."

"Lord Xiaduo, I'm really sorry. I'm not interested in Felbos's business. Even these are things I come into contact with occasionally. As for the fact that the lord is very polite to Felbos, it's because I saw with my own eyes that the lord addressed Felbos. Pelbers 'old friend'."

"That letter!" Carey immediately responded, "The 'Greg' in that letter is the lord?"

Xia Duo also thought of it, but Mrs. Patty denied it, "No, Greg is a bard, I have seen him."

Don't you just admit it?However, Mrs. Patty's denial seems to indicate that what she said before may indeed be true, and being able to issue missions in the Mage Tower is a bit extraordinary after all.

In fact, Xia Duo was ready to agree first, and if he really felt resistance, he would retreat in time.

So, he took advantage of the situation and agreed. Of course, Kaili couldn't wait to agree before Xia Duo agreed.

Seeing that Xia Duo agreed, Mrs. Patty also smiled for the first time, but it was fleeting.

……

After leaving the Felbos villa, Xia Duo decided to start the investigation from the Liaton Chamber of Commerce under Felbos. He believed that there was no killing for no reason in this world.

There must be interests involved behind this incident, otherwise, who would kill an ordinary person if he had nothing to do?If there is no profit-driven, killing is just a waste of one's own physical strength, which is completely a loss-making business, and normal people would not do it.

What's more, to control first and then kill, and spend so much effort just to kill an irrelevant person?

Xia Duo didn't believe it.
