Lord of Arcane

Chapter 218
So far, he has owed Mrs. Patty's Liadon Chamber of Commerce thousands of gold coins, and in the foreseeable future, he will owe more.

Even if the sacred contract is not considered, Xia Duo himself has a bottom line, and he still has to pay it back.

As for Hans, Glittering Gold, and Slavin Chamber of Commerce, because cash settlement is required, Xia Duo still needs to prepare cash. The only way he can raise cash now is to sell the scroll to the Mage Tower, or borrow it from the Liadon Chamber of Commerce.

For the time being, Xia Duo still prefers the former. This is a loophole in the contract. He cannot sell scrolls to other chambers of commerce or merchants, but the Mage Tower is not a chamber of commerce or a merchant.

……

The Tower of Time, the materials application office.

Here, Xia Duo unexpectedly met several mages, and their purpose was the same as Xia Duo's, to sell scrolls.

The news that Savile was going to open up the Green Pearl Forest had spread several months ago, and in order to encourage the members of the Tower of Time to make the scrolls in the purchase list.

The lord has specifically opened related tasks. For example, Xia Duo can use the sale of scrolls to offset the previous promotion task indicators, and others can also use the sale of scrolls in exchange for the exchange authority of certain magical knowledge.

As long as an intermediate mage does a few experiments a day, the saved spells can be compared to all the elementary mages.

After collecting the exchange voucher for 1000 gold coins, Xia Duo exchanged pleasantries with these enthusiastic mages before returning to his residence.

Next, what he has to do is to wait for the news of the pioneering team of the Savile Territory and prepare for the development of the Great Xia Territory.

Scrolls must continue to be made. This is almost Xia Duo's only means of making money at present, and he cannot give up easily.

And even if he has money, Xia Duo will probably not stop. After all, scrolls can make up for the spellcaster's lack of spells. Perhaps making scrolls is the ultimate daily routine of every mage.

……

Three days later, at the edge of the Green Pearl Forest.

Thousands of young and strong people took the axes, hatchets and other tools assigned by the above and began to clear the plants on the edge of the forest. Some people were responsible for transportation and some were responsible for patrolling. It was a busy scene.

Going south from the clearing position, several foreign mages each led several hundred soldiers into the forest to clean up any threatening creatures they encountered—

Timberwolves, bears, hyenas, goblins, giant rats, bats, snakes and more.

But even if there are no creatures that are not a threat to humans, these soldiers will drive them to the south so that they will not affect the cleanup work in the rear.

And on the branch of a tall tree that a human soldier just passed by, two elves watched all this silently, and one of the younger ones said angrily:
"I hear the forest crying! These damned evil creatures!"

"Carrick, calm down! Don't let your emotions control your mind! These humans are disrespectful to the forest, and they will definitely receive the backlash from the forest!"

As if to confirm his words, a human soldier not far away suddenly hugged his legs and wailed, but he stopped before screaming a few times.

The elf Carrick seemed very happy, and quickly asked, "Captain, did you do it?"

"No, this is the punishment of the forest. Let's go to the next place."

After finishing speaking, the elf captain jumped to another tree, and behind him, the elf Carrick also jumped over very nimbly and lightly.

……

The top of the Tower of Time.

Now Niya is sitting behind the desk, holding a communication artifact in her hand. She uses the voice of Lord Epps to ask forward, but the next few messages made her frown.

After the communication was interrupted, Niya picked up another document on the table, drew a few strokes on it with a pen, and then left the chair to come to the side of Lord Epps.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Father, the soldiers in front have already suffered a lot of casualties, do you think—"

"Is it something?" Lord Epps suddenly stared at Niya, "Are you questioning my decision?"

"No." Niya quickly explained, "Father, I just don't think it's necessary to be so radical at all, and no one is forcing us to develop."

Niya actually softened her heart. Territorial soldiers are not just cold numbers, they are also real people, and there are families waiting for them to guard behind them.

Ugh--

Epps sighed softly, stood up, took out a stack of parchment from the bookshelf, and put it in Nya's hand, "Look!"

He has great expectations for his daughter. Niya is very talented, in various senses, but after all, she is still too young and needs to be tempered.

Niya took the paper, and on it were some information below the surface, such as the fact that there might be someone coveting the territory behind the death of Felbers, such as the possible hostility after throwing himself at the princess, and so on.

There are also some unconventional means in the territory, such as the person in charge of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce in Savile Territory who accidentally fell into the water during the orc wave last year, a businessman who was about to transfer assets to Conifera City but died of an accident, and so on.

Niya's eyes widened. She never thought that her father, who was always just and stalwart, would have such a side. Growing up in the Mage Tower, she suddenly felt a little out of place.

At this time, Lord Epps continued: "The development of the territory is in line with Her Royal Highness's development plan. Since we have already invested in the princess, we must express it, and those who covet the territory will also have scruples after seeing it."

Of course, what Epps didn't say was that, apart from the most important thing is to test the elf mages in the forest, it was secondary to this.

With such an intense development of the forest, if the elf mage really wants to do something, he will also send a few mages from other places there, and it depends on the next result!

Seeing Niya's pensive look, Epps said again: "I will let Belgarde come to see you tomorrow, and, from now on, my voice is not allowed for all orders."

Epps made up his mind to push Niya up. Bergart was the president of the Savile Adventurers Guild and also his follower.

But Belgard's true identity is the eyes of Epps secretly monitoring the situation of the territory, and the assassin who solves his troubles.

Magic can indeed do many things that ordinary people cannot do, but there are also many things that magic cannot do, at least with Epps' magical ability.

Handing Belgard to Nya's hands, Epps also let go of one thing, even if there is an accident, it will not affect the normal inheritance of the territory.

In addition to the handover of personnel, there are still some secrets. Once he dies unexpectedly, there will be Ta Ling to hand over.

Epps let go of his worries and directly gave up the room to Niya. He was going to concentrate on studying magic, even if Eberke's revelation was true.

But as long as he can become an archmage, he will definitely be able to have many more coping methods. Being hit by an elf magic does not mean that he will definitely die. Epps still has this confidence.

　Made two new maps, one is the forces around Nether, and the other is the protagonist's Daxia collar.In addition, whether it is the Ascension to God route or other routes, territories are useful.

Finally ask for a ticket~~
