Lord of Arcane

Chapter 171 Stardew Scepter
Seeing that his own brother finally calmed down, Orlando finally explained, "1000 years ago, the family was in turmoil, and the Stardew Scepter was lost, and the descendants have been silently pursuing it. Not long ago, suddenly there was a clue, you really Do you have any doubts?"

"But Orlando, haven't you revealed the current location of the scepter through the prophecy?" Fenoveta was very puzzled, "Could it be that the prophecy is not credible?"

"No, my brother, the prophecy is indeed true."

"Then why did you stop us from going to investigate?" Fenovita became irritable again after speaking.

He originally thought that his patriarch brother hesitated because he doubted the authenticity of the clue, but it was difficult for him to accept such hesitation when the location of the scepter had already been determined.

The Stardew Scepter itself is not of much value to the family. It may have been a symbol of family power 1000 years ago, but now 1000 years have passed, and the Stardew Scepter has long lost its symbolic meaning.

What really haunts the family is that this scepter is the key to the family secret room. It is precisely because of the loss of the Stardew scepter that the development of the family has stagnated or even regressed in the past 1000 years.

If it weren't for the family having a high-ranking mage, it might have declined long ago, but that existence had already felt Alvando's call as early as 100 years ago, and now it just stays in the world forcibly.

The family needs a replacement deterrent too much!
And the half-plane secret room opened by the Stardew Scepter has it!

Thinking of this, Fenovita's mood became more and more agitated, "Orlando, let me find the scepter!"

"No, Fenovetta, my younger brother!" Orlando stood up suddenly, and put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder. There was no magic or strange art, just patting gently as he did when he was a child.

The two of them didn't move, but the gazebo they were in moved quietly until they reached the edge of the courtyard, where tall buildings rising from the ground could be seen in the distance.

It is made of old trees that have accumulated over the years, full of vitality, the sun is shining, the leaves are plated golden, the breeze is blowing, and even bursts of pleasant music are emitted.

Contrary to this beautiful scenery, there are teams of elf knights riding Pegasus and unicorns flying up and down among these buildings, and on the ground, various low buildings are decorated with trees, forming an interesting contrast.

Orlando turned his younger brother's gaze to the outside, "Look, under this glamorous appearance, there are actually countless darkness hidden. The Stardew Scepter has powerful magic, how could it suddenly be able to predict it?"

Before his brother could speak, Orlando continued, "I won't mention whether there is a conspiracy here, but I have sent people to investigate after I got the prophecy revelation ten years ago and determined the approximate location of the scepter."

"What?!" Fenovita stood up in surprise.

And the moment he got up, the wooden chair that originally supported him also quietly dissipated. At this moment, Fenoveta's mind was completely occupied by the clue of the scepter. He ignored the etiquette, grabbed his brother's upper arm, and said urgently asked:
"Is there any clue, have you found the scepter?"

"Unfortunately, not yet!" But the expression on Orlando's face showed no sign of regret, "It seems that a force has been interfering with my prophecy, making it impossible for me to grasp the specific position of the scepter."

After a pause, as if to give Fenovetta time to think, elves never lack time, Orlando waved a floating fruit plate.

Picking up the topmost fruit with a strange shape, just putting it on the tip of the nose and sniffing it, the fruit shrinks at a speed visible to the naked eye until the pulp completely disappears.

Leaving a core similar to the shape of the fruit, Orlando held the core and looked at the sun, before throwing it under the courtyard.

If an elf commoner picks it up, it will be a reward from the Xinglu family.

At this time, Feinovita also took a fruit, sniffed it, and showed an expression of enjoyment. After that, he also looked at the core in the sun, and then threw it under the courtyard.

"Orlando, what are your plans?"

"This matter should not be dealt with in a high-profile manner for the time being. I have arranged for the family guards to prevent human development. I am just a descendant of a mundane mage, so don't worry too much."

Having said that, when Orlando mentioned the "mortal mage", his eyes were still full of fear. A hundred years ago, he had secretly fought against that so-called great arcanist.

The result was——he lost to a mortal human who was only a fraction of his age, which made Orlando, who had always regarded himself as a higher life, feel more humiliated, and he never even set foot in the Netherland territory for more than a hundred years.

Fenovita didn't notice Orlando's thoughts, and was still introducing the information from the so-called human friend to his brother——

"It is said that the Savile Territory is planning to hold an arcane competition next month, perhaps it is preparing for the development of the Green Pearl Forest."

"Oh, arcane competition? Humans learn very quickly, so don't pay attention to them." Orlando didn't take this matter to heart. What he was really worried about was the reaction of other families in Comanthor City.

The news of the appearance of the Stardew Scepter has not yet spread, but Orlando knows that this matter will not be hidden for long, and he still has to speak with his strength after all.

Thinking of this, Orlando's calm heart was suddenly cast a shadow. Although outsiders didn't know it, as the patriarch, he knew very well that the only high-ranking mage in the family was no longer able to fight.

Maybe when returning to Avandor, there will be a final blow, but it is only a blow.

Afterwards, Orlando chatted with Fenovetta about Comanso's recent popular poems. After the sun went down, Orlando told his brother: "Peace the tribe, don't go out in the near future!"

After speaking, his figure gradually faded away, and finally disappeared under the afterglow of the setting sun.

……

Savile collar.

The plans of the elves have no influence on the humans living here, and even the news from the far reaches of the empire has lost most of the shock when it reaches here.

For the citizens of Savile, the biggest thing in the near future is that the followers of the lord have advanced to become arcanists, although most of them don't know much about the concept of arcanists.

But among those who have stayed in the Mage Tower and left sadly in the end, the Arcanist is amazing!For this purpose, the lord specially prepared a grand celebration.

And at the celebration, there are still some arcane competitions to watch. The performance of the mage master is usually not seen, let alone for the common people.

You must take a good look this time.

Of course, those who already have a certain understanding of magic will focus on the upcoming pioneering operations in the territory.

Many adventurers have tentatively decided to go out for adventure activities, sharpen their knives and get ready!

For a while, in the town of Savile, the two met, but they were embarrassed to call it communication if they didn't talk about topics related to the arcane competition and opening up the wilderness.
