Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1769 Meet Iolum

After finishing the communication with Hilda Lanna, Xia Duo thought about it, and finally decided to go to Severton to discuss with Iolum in person.

Afterwards, he explained to Niya and left the Tower of Time.

……

Severnton, Offal Federation.

Xia Duo came to the outside of Iolum's study with ease, but before he could contact Iolum, the door opened and Hechenis walked out with a worried expression.

Seeing Xia Duo, Hechenis was obviously taken aback. He obviously didn't expect Xia Duo to appear here suddenly, but after all, he has served two generations of presidents, and he recovered his composure almost in the blink of an eye. A salute, ask:
"Lord Xia Duo, are you looking for the president?"

"Yes, isn't the teacher here?"

Xia Duo had already seen the scene in the study through the crack of the door, and Iolum did not appear in his field of vision, and if he was there, it stands to reason that he should have been called in by now.

"The president went to the Gustav Tower in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet."

Of course, the whereabouts of Iolum are not known by ordinary people, but Xia Duo is not ordinary people, and Hatchenis did not hide too much.

"Then do you know when the teacher will come back?" Xia Duo asked again, and then added, "I have something very important to ask him."

"A very important thing?"

Hatchenis hesitated for a moment, "Could it be that Lord Xiaduo is looking for the president because of the assassination of Grand Elder Evereska not long ago?"

"Related to this, but not to this."

Seeing that Xia Duo's incident was related to the assassination incident by the elves, Haichenis probably knew it in his mind. Although he didn't know what it was, it was worth using an emergency contact, so he said:
"Then let me help Lord Xia Duo contact the president!"

"Okay, then I would like to thank Director Hatchenis."

Although Xia Duo himself was able to contact Iolum, at this moment Iolum went to the Gustav Tower, and has not returned since the morning, apparently discussing something with the people from the Seven Towers Important matter.

He wasn't sure if his subpoena could be accepted by the other party, but if it was Hatcheris, then there would be no problem.

After that, Xia Duo didn't go anywhere else, so he went directly into the study and found a place to sit down, waiting carefully for Iolum to come back.

Of course, during the waiting period, he also sent a message to Iolum, briefly mentioning that it was related to the Scroll of Nether, and did not elaborate more in the interrogation.

……

About half an hour later, the magic net in the study suddenly vibrated, and immediately after, the tall figure of Iolum appeared in front of Xia Duo.

As soon as they met, before Xia Duo had time to greet him, Iolum threw a series of questions: "You said that the assassination incident on the elves' side was related to the scroll of Nether? What did you find? Are they the thieves back then?"

Shaduo was a little dazed by Iolum's blatant questions, but it was no wonder that Iolum was so excited.

The set of Nether Scrolls was stolen back then. Although the person who was directly responsible was the caretaker at the time, Conjenio, as the president of the Austrian Law Federation, more or less had to bear certain responsibilities.

Presumably when Iolum took over, Conjenio expressed his regrets such as not recovering or taking back the stolen Nether Scroll.

This made Iolum very concerned about this, and when he heard the news about the Nether Scroll, his mood immediately changed significantly.

"Teacher, listen to me slowly."

"Okay, you say—"

"First of all, I did have the news about the Nether scroll that was stolen back then, but—" Xia Duo hated the Riddler the most, but I have to say that sometimes this method is really useful.

Give the key information first, let the people who care about ease their emotions a little, and then explain further, "This news is just a news, and it has not been really confirmed yet."

"Where did you know that?" Iolam asked.

"High mage Hilda Lanna of the Moonhorn family in Yeerlan."

"Hilda Lanna?"

Iolum immediately frowned, no matter if it was the Moonhorn family or Hilda Lanna, he was no stranger to him, it could even be said to be very familiar.

Of course, this acquaintance does not lie in personal friendship, but in the past and even now, most of the high-grade Mithril in Netheril was obtained from trade with the Moon Horn family.

It's just Xia Duo--

Iolum couldn't help being suspicious, "How did you and Hilda Lanna meet? By the way, I remember that you discovered the ruins of Innocent's mage tower before. Could it be because of this?"

"Of course not. Hilda Lanna may have known that I discovered the ruins of her nephew's mage tower, but she never said that I met her because of an accident."

Let's just say it was an accident. Seeing that Iolum seemed to be looking into it, Xia Duo continued to explain: "This matter is actually not suitable for public discussion. The thunder mage Lord Collins and I are smuggling spices to Cormanthor. Eldarana knew about it, and the other party didn't report it to Comanso, but got involved instead."

Even now, Xia Duo and Collins are still using some of the channels provided by Hilda Lanna. Although he seems to get rid of them, they cannot get rid of them in a short time.

Furthermore, if he and Collins decided to unilaterally get rid of Hilda Lanna, how could they know that the other party would not become angry and expose the smuggling, that would be unbeautiful.

Regarding the smuggling of spices, Iolum did not go into details, but continued to ask about the details of the Nether scrolls: "Hildaranna told you where she knew the stolen set of scrolls? Or did she know who the thieves were?" ?”

In this regard, Xia Duo nodded very seriously, "Both!"

"Both?!"

Hearing this answer, Iolum calmed down instead, and then asked: "What does she want?"

"She wants me or you, teacher, to cooperate with her in a raid."

"Raid operation? Where is the raid?"

Xia Duo didn't answer directly, but asked another question: "Did the teacher just go to the Gustav Tower because of the assassination incident by the elves?"

"Yes, the sudden death of Great Elder Evereska once again cast a shadow over the situation in the Northland that was already beneficial to us. If it is not handled properly, it may be the beginning of chaos in the Northland."

Speaking of this, Iolum seems to have just reacted, "By the way, didn't you tell Hatchenis to tell me about the assassination incident? Could it be that Hilda Lanna is also involved in this assassination incident?" ?”

"It's involved, but it's not what the teacher thinks, it's Ye Erlan's envoy, at least Hilda Lanna thinks so."

"Then what connection does she have with the assassination?"
