Lord of Arcane

Chapter 170 Rounding up the Elf
On the way back, Xia Duo suddenly found that the atmosphere in the town was a bit weird. Suddenly, there were many more patrolling soldiers in the eastern district, and all intersections were blocked.

Even people who saw Xia Duo, a sorcerer, asked a few words, and other people couldn't walk around at will.

When he first came, there was no such a big movement, why did it happen in a blink of an eye?Xia Duo felt very strange, and after walking for half a street, he still thought he should find someone to ask.

And just as he was looking for a target for questioning, a familiar figure appeared in his sight. It was Gibb, Xia Duo's companion during the orc war.

Xia Duo's eyes lit up, and he quickly greeted him, "Captain Gibb, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Master Xia Duo?!" Gibb was also very surprised to see Xia Duo, and what surprised him even more was that Xia Duo's attire at the moment already showed that he was an official mage.

How long has it been!
"Master Xia Duo, Uke just told me some time ago that he performed a mission with you, and he got a reward from above! He is very grateful to you."

"Really? It was just a coincidence that time." Xia Duo was modest, and then returned to the topic. He pointed to the soldiers on the street and asked, "What are you doing?"

Gibb turned his head and ordered his soldiers to leave first, then whispered: "The higher ups are going to arrest people."

"Arresting people? Who are you arresting to make such a big commotion?"

"People from the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, it is said that they still have mages!"

Ji Bu revealed a few words, and then hurried away, chasing his soldiers, while Xia Duo slowed down, thinking while walking.

The name of the Gorse Chamber of Commerce is not unfamiliar, and Xia Duo's most intuitive impression of it is the scene of the overseer whipping the orc slaves when passing by the port a few days ago.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he would be rounded up. Xia Duo immediately thought of Felbers' death. If it wasn't for this incident, what else could have caused the territory to suddenly go to war against a foreign chamber of commerce?
It's just that Niya's words are still lingering in his ears in the morning, asking him to persuade Mrs. Patty to give up the investigation, why did he arrest her in the blink of an eye?
Or, had nothing to do with Pelbers?
Xia Duo was a little puzzled, it was not uncommon for the higher-ups to make any decision with a slap on the head, and this matter probably had the biggest relationship with him--the Gorse Chamber would be dealt with, and he would applaud!

However, there is a force behind any foreign chamber of commerce. If Savile is so strong, isn't he afraid of some backlash?Xia Duo secretly thought about the impact of this matter on the territory.

But he is just a newly promoted mage, even if he barely has a relationship with the lord, this matter is not something he needs to worry about.

What he really cares about is whether this matter will affect him. Now Xia Duo has just raised his authority and is in a state of rapid development, and he has already been bound to the Tower of Time and the Savile Collar.

The last thing he wants is any accident, whether it is himself or the surrounding environment.

……

With a little bit of doubt, Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower. For everything in the outside world, he could only choose to believe in the choice of the lord, and believe in the way of survival of a territory that has existed for nearly a hundred years.

The next thing he can do is to improve himself as much as possible. Of course, he is not going to give up the arcane competition. There are only four people participating in the territory. As long as the performance is a little passable, there should be no shortage of rewards.

The price/performance ratio is quite impressive, and it is nothing to spend a little time on.

Xia Duo is not clear about the specific rules of the arcane competition, and the so-called preparation is nothing more than looking up some books about customs in the library.

There are introductions to various arcane competitions on it, as long as you have a general idea, it will be fine when the rules come out, and it will not be too late to conduct surprise training.

After returning to his residence from the library, Xia Duo plunged into the world of magic. The production method of the [Steam Ray] scroll was about to be born, and he couldn't wait any longer.

……

When Xia Duo was working hard to study the application and transformation of spells, Eberke, who had become an arcanist, had led people to control all members of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, including slaves.

There was hardly any resistance during the whole process. The two low-level mages hired by the Chamber of Commerce surrendered the first time they saw Ao Neng, and they also helped to control several Chamber of Commerce stewards who were about to escape.

"The rest are temporarily controlled by the Chamber of Commerce. By the way, that Harvey, send me to the Mage Tower."

The previous words of Eberke made the members of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce heave a sigh of relief, thinking that the Savile leader would not be able to complete the matter, but the latter sentence made them nervous.

Especially Harvey, if he was not controlled by spells, he would almost collapse to the ground and be sent to the Mage Tower. This sounds normal in normal times, but in this case, it is almost equated with tragedy.

Harvey didn't know what was waiting for him there, but he didn't think it would be a good treatment. He couldn't move his body, so he could only desperately beg for mercy with his eyes.

But how could Eboke care about the eyes of a prisoner? After checking the chamber of commerce, he found no useful information. Eboke could only return to the Mage Tower and wait for the lord to return.

See if he has any new information.

……

The eastern forest generally refers to the forest to the east of Netheril that connects to the territory of Netheril, and the farther east of the eastern forest is still a forest—a forest that is far wider and more refined than the eastern forest.

This is the Comanthor Forest, where the Elven King's Court is located. Of course, it is the Comanthor Empire that rules this vast territory now.

The Elf King's Court has still become a place where hermits, exiles, and losers gather together to keep warm. If it weren't for the intervention of God and the strong opposition of some high-ranking mages, Mianwang would have ordered the expulsion of the Elf King's Court long ago.

Under the high tower, in a secluded courtyard constructed of entangled trees, the cups and plates were scattered. It seemed that a banquet had just been held here, and most of the guests had already left.

A handsome elf left the main seat and walked towards the gazebo not far from the courtyard. The trees opened their branches for him, and flowers bloomed at his feet.

When he arrived at the gazebo, a temporarily woven wooden seat appeared beside him. When he sat down, the seat shook slowly, echoing each other with the rhythm of the wind.

Not long after, another elf came over, and waved away the branches before they parted. Compared with the sitting one, the later elf was much ruder.

But this kind of rudeness is only for elves, and it is still very beautiful for humans.

"Orlando, you are leisurely. Our friend just sent the news that humans are sure to open up the Green Pearl Forest, but there is no clue for the Stardew Scepter. Are you not in a hurry?"

Later, although the elf's words contained blame, they were cadenced, as if they were singing a beautiful ballad.

"Fenovita, don't worry." Orlando raised his finger to the seat opposite, "Sit!"

A wooden seat appeared quietly. After Fenovetta sat down, a flower bud hung from the back of the chair, slowly opened and turned into a flower-shaped wine glass, which fell into his hand.

The amber liquid trembled slightly, exuding a natural fragrance, which instantly dispelled Fenovita's restless mood.
