Lord of Arcane

Chapter 188 Invitation

Xia Duo, who left Niya's residence, did not immediately invite Mrs. Patty. He is still a little confused about the recent situation.

In the past few days, he has hardly paid attention to the outside world. He urgently needs someone to understand some recent situations, and this person is naturally Edric.

Xia Duo found Edric in the library, and Dean, Sammy and others were also there. The design of the apprentice competition was at the last moment, and they were very happy with Xia Duo's arrival.

As for Xia Duo's question, Edrich also told everything he knew, without any concealment——

"Everything is normal in the territory now, only the patrolling of the Green Pearl Forest has increased a lot, but—"

Edric suddenly glanced at the direction of the door and lowered his voice, "In addition to Mombo, I also found two apprentices who were cursed by the elves! They are already dead!"

"died?!"

Xia Duo didn't die until Ganal's younger brother, otherwise Ganal would not be in the current state, but maybe it might be soon!
Xia Duo was a little sad, death happened beside him, who could not be moved?

"What does the Mage Tower say?"

"What else can I say, died of an accident, do you know about the accident?" Edric was also a little excited, he is now an apprentice, although he will not go out to meet elves, but there are still some things that hurt him.

Xia Duo was silent, and asked again: "Is it also a patrol mission in the Green Pearl Forest?"

"Correct."

Depending on the situation, the elf's curse is only aimed at (quasi) mages. I don't know if it is the willingness to cast spells or just choose such a target?
Moreover, it seemed that only in the Green Pearl Forest would there be danger. Xia Duo was slightly relieved, and he was a little more confident about leaving the Mage Tower next.

"I see. By the way, has the time for the apprenticeship competition been decided?"

"Not yet, I am going to ask you?"

"Ask me?" Xia Duo was a little relieved, and said the date casually, "Just before the Olympic Art Competition, I will come to see it then."

"That's great. If you don't come, this game will always feel incomplete!"

Edric's words made everyone laugh, but no one thought it was incorrect, but they all looked at Xia Duo expectantly.

"Don't worry, I will come. In addition, the design of the competition needs to be improved, and the content of the competition should be as open as possible. I know that you all have the confidence to win, but because of this, it needs to be made public. We do not accept doubts. If you still question it in this situation, then they are not on the same side as us, you know?"

"understood!"

"Okay, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and you guys take your time."

……

After meeting Edric, Xia Duo has a little idea of ​​the situation in the territory. It may be very serious and urgent for the territory, but it is not necessarily so for the individuals in the territory.

As long as you don't go to the Green Pearl Forest, there is a high probability that you won't encounter elves. Of course, you won't really "touch" if you go there.
The meeting with Mrs. Patty went smoothly. After a few cups of elf hot drinks, the spirit seemed to be baptized. Xia Duo felt that the trip out was not in vain.

However, Mrs. Patty was noncommittal about the invitation from the Mage Tower, and Xia Duo also kept Niya's instructions in mind, so he didn't have to worry about the rest.

Therefore, Xia Duo did not leave until the tea was not served.

……

On the way back to the mage tower, halfway there, Xia Duo suddenly felt that he was very incompetent as a personal mage consultant, and the 700 gold coins he took earlier were somewhat hot.

He didn't want any conflict between Mrs. Patty and the Master Tower. No matter what background Mrs. Patty had, it was an indisputable fact that she was an ordinary person. As long as there was a conflict, she would definitely suffer.

Then wouldn't there be no one to pay the monthly salary in the future? Thinking of this, Xia Duo turned back again, wanting to enlighten Mrs. Patty on the reason why her arms can't hold her thighs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned a corner, he saw Mrs. Patty's carriage coming from the direction of the villa. It seemed that he was not needed.

However, the carriage didn't stop to take him for a ride, and just drove away all the way.At this time, Xia Duo suddenly remembered that [Summoning Mount] is a must-learn spell, and he hasn't started learning it yet.

If you learn it from the mage tower, it has been several days. Now that it has come out, you might as well go to the East District to see if there are learning scrolls for sale in those magic goods stores.

If there is, and the price is not too outrageous, Xia Duo doesn't mind paying more gold coins.Compared to saving time, gold coins are really not in Xia Duo's eyes.

And it's not just the [Summon Mount] learning scroll, other spells are also available. Since the Mage Tower doesn't have the right to exchange for the time being, we can only think of other ways.

Xia Duo had asked about it in the Eastern District before, but it was Xia Duo who was still a sorcerer's apprentice. After hearing that he was going to discuss with the sorcerer behind the store, he immediately retreated.

Afterwards, after he himself became an official mage, he didn't think about it again. Now that he saw Mrs. Patty's carriage and thought of [summon mount], Xia Duo remembered it.

……

Eagle Chamber of Commerce, a secret equipment store.

After declaring his intentions, the shop steward showed embarrassment, "My lord, learning scrolls are not for sale."

However, Xia Duo has seen through everything a long time ago. He believes that there are indeed non-sale items in this world, but the learning scrolls are no longer listed here. It is nothing more than the price. "Contact the mage, I am buying it in good faith!"

Xia Duo deliberately emphasized "sincerity", and pulled out a stack of exchange vouchers from the inner pocket of the mage's robe.Of course, if the price is too outrageous, then his sincerity is naturally limited.

With the foundation of "sincerity", the manager immediately set out for an inconspicuous decoration on the shelf behind the counter. Under Xia Duo's magic vision, the decoration and many magical auras in the store are connected together, which should be one of the nodes.

Xia Duo didn't expect that the steward was actually a sorcerer's apprentice, but after thinking about it, he took it for granted. If there is no one who understands magic in the magic item shop, what kind of magic item shop is it called!
"My lord, please wait a moment, the Master Mage of the Chamber of Commerce will be here soon!"

"Ah."

……

While Xia Duo was waiting, not far away, in the branch of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, a team of guards had just completed the task of escorting the caravan back from Conifera City, and were ready to rest after receiving the bounty.

"Captain, how many gold coins have you received? Tell me!" A tall and thin man with a bow and arrow on his back laughed and hooked the fellow.

The strong man pushed away the thin and tall man's hand, and said a number lightly, "50 gold coins."

"Captain, why are you paying 50 gold coins!" The tall and thin archer felt sorry for the captain, but he seemed relieved in his eyes.

Others also echoed and complained for the captain.

"Okay, don't talk about it, but you can get 50 gold coins for a week. Where can you find such a good thing? If you think you don't have enough money, you can be an adventurer. I heard that you are the only one who is lacking in adventurers." Archer, if you really have this idea, I can tell the steward."

"Don't stop, captain, I was wrong." The tall, thin man who was called a hemp stalk by the strong man hurriedly begged for mercy, and skillfully changed the subject, "Captain, go drink, I'm treating you today!"

"Don't, I'm afraid to drink up your money bag, next time your arrow will not stick in my ass, but in my head instead!"

The brawny man's joke embarrassed Ma Gan, "Captain, why do you still remember what happened a few years ago! How many times have I missed now!"

"You also said that you almost shot Ladd on this mission. If it wasn't for Ladd not caring about you, you should go to the shrine of the Lord of Radiance now, and still want to drink?" The team who spoke Another soldier in the room, it seems that he is not less frightened by the hemp stalk.

"Okay, stop making trouble!" The captain stopped the team members who started to make noise, "Let's put aside the drinking, this time the mage used the scroll, we will first replenish the scroll with the mage, and then go to repair the equipment and replenish the consumables , Only after finishing everything can we go to drink."

"Captain, is it necessary to be so serious every time? Isn't the next mission still a week away?"

"Borg!" The captain of the strong man was a little angry, "I have been in this business for so long, and I haven't learned to be cautious? You know that the next mission must be next week?"

Seeing that the captain seemed to be really angry, Borg quickly admitted his mistake, and with the persuasion of other team members, the captain gave up and took all the team members to the magic supply shop of the chamber of commerce.
