Lord of Arcane

Chapter 221 Arrival
On the newly named "Lucky Owen", Xia Duo stood at the bow, the warm wind between spring and summer blowing on his face, as if a lover's hand was gently touching, soft and warm.

This was Xia Duo's first time taking a boat since crossing, and of course it was also the first time it was so fun, even more fun than learning magic for the first time.

In front of him is a world that belongs to him alone, allowing him to do whatever he wants and freely.Although he knows that he can't let go of the state of being under the fence for the time being, it doesn't prevent him from thinking about it.

Just as Xia Duo was imagining that the vast world could do a lot, Gibb walked out from the cabin, "My lord, there are soldiers who are seasick, can we let them go outside the cabin and blow some air."

"Okay, call them all out."

Although this ship is only a small cargo ship, in Xia Duo's eyes, it is more than enough for two teams to stand on the deck.

Xia Duo is not a strict person, so he would still agree to such a trivial matter.

Soon, four or five soldiers swayed out of the cabin and leaned against the rail to breathe heavily. After they came out, the rest of the soldiers also rushed out and walked on the deck.

……

Xia Duo and the others set off in the morning and went down the river. Although it was against the wind, it was faster than normal sailing. When it was almost dusk in the afternoon, Owen sent someone to inform Xia Duo——

The landing point is almost here!

Xia Duo was refreshed, and it was finally time to arrive. It seemed that the distance on the map was less than a palm, but it would take so long in reality.

Tired of the warm wind blowing from morning to afternoon, Xia Duo immediately ordered all soldiers to get ready to land!

The "coming soon" that Owen said was really fast, and after all the soldiers put their equipment on their backs and assembled on the deck, Xia Duo could feel the ship slowing down obviously.

Looking at the surrounding environment and comparing it to the spell map transcribed by the lord, Xia Duo recognized that this place is less than 200 meters away from the landing point he selected.

This distance, that is, the effort of a few words, Owen docked the boat on the shore. Of course, it is the shore, but it is only a little east of the middle.

There is still a distance of one or two meters from the shore.

The original river bank was not a man-made wharf, which allowed ships to dock at will. After setting up the springboard, Xia Duo was about to order the soldiers to land.

However, he suddenly found traces of stampede on the south side of the landing point. To be cautious, he quickly stopped the landing operation. Now these soldiers are very precious to him.

Lord Savile didn't say how long he would borrow for Jib's team, or even "borrow", but only said that he would give Xia Duo a team of soldiers. Xia Duo had already regarded these people as the leader of Da Xia.

And the other team is made up of leaders who have been adventurers. These people are 100% people from the Great Xia leader, and the loss of any one is 56/1.

Therefore, Xia Duo decided to check the situation by himself.

At this time, Xia Duo was dressed as an adventurer, wearing leather armor, with a one-handed sword hanging from his waist. If it weren't for the armor, it would hinder his flexibility, and the price was too expensive, so he would have bought a full-body iron armor up.

"Give me your sword, Gib."

Without doubting him, Jibu took out the sword from his waist and handed it to Xia Duo. Xia Duo took Jibu's sword and observed it carefully, and found that this guy's sword was better than his.

There is an obvious blue light in the blade, which is obviously a weapon containing fine gold, at least more qualified to be a fine gold weapon than Xia Duo's "fine gold" dagger.

Holding it with one hand, the hilt of the sword fit perfectly in his palm, and for a moment Xia Duo had the illusion that this was his weapon.

Swing it a few times, it looks like 7 or 8 pounds, but it is too light for Xia Duo's 100 pounds of strength in one hand, and it might be about the same if it is a pure gold weapon.

Holding the sword, Xia Duo pointed to the stampede he found, and ordered: "Ji Bu, you stay here, I'll go over there to have a look."

"My lord! No!" Gibb quickly persuaded, "There should be traces of animals drinking water, and it will not affect the landing. If your lord is not at ease, I will go and check it myself, and please stay on board, waiting for us to build it temporarily. The camp is disembarking."

Gibb's expression was serious, but Xia Duo insisted on his own opinion. Territorial development is not an outing. There is no such thing as 100% safe. He is willing to go out because he has full confidence in his own strength.

If these soldiers go out, he will feel distressed for a long time if one of them dies. In the first stage, we still have to ensure every vital force, and only by living can we create value.

Now is not the time for them to desperately.

During the orc war, Xia Duo also experienced the death of his teammates, but those people had nothing to do with him, and he didn't feel bad about how many deaths he had.

But now that he is in charge of his own business, his mentality is completely different.

"Captain Gibb, you don't need to persuade me anymore, just do your own thing."

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo jumped off the boat with a burst of exclamation, but he did not fall into the water, but stood firmly on the water.

Gibb was almost stunned. He knew that mages could fly and teleport, but before today, he didn't know that mages could walk on water.

The other soldiers were also very surprised. Even the crew resting at the bottom of the cabin couldn't help sticking their heads out when they heard the sound, and looked around for no reason at the cabin door.

……

On the other side, Xia Duo came to the place where the stampede was taken out, and first stood in the middle of the river and watched from a distance, but there was no sign of the water-drinking animal that Gibb mentioned.

Xia Duo put his hand into the water, closed his eyes, and his perception spread along the water body in the Wolfburg River, first on both banks, and then spread upstream and downstream.

About halfway through, Xia Duo suddenly withdrew his hand, and his clear perception of this section of water instantly blurred.

But the perception was not interrupted, as if the small river had become a part of him.

Stretching his hand into the water again, everything in the water appeared in Xia Duo's perception——

Aquatic plants, sediment, a few small fish, and no strange creatures.

Withdrawing his hand from the water again, Xia Duo walked towards the stampede on the shore. The awakening of blood gave Xia Duo great power, but this power is only one of the manifestations of physical strength.

Even those who have not been specially trained in hearing can easily hear the small sounds around them. Xia Duo scanned vigilantly, and at the same time used Jibu's fine gold sword to clean up the weeds, dead branches, and small trees on the bank.

There are only the sound of wind, water, and voices on board.

Stepping onto the shore, Xia Duo stepped on a round stone that was washed smooth by the current, and with a "pop", a line of water splashed out from the bottom of the stone.

Just bumped into the invisible force field of Xia Duo's [Mage Armor], lost kinetic energy instantly, and fell down.

Xia Duo frowned, ignored this trivial matter, and continued to move forward.

The further you go in, the more obvious the stampede marks are, and Xia Duo can almost tell that these are not marks left by animals.

After all, there is no animal that can walk crookedly and full of burrs. This must be left by intelligent creatures, and judging from this extremely rough trace, the wisdom is not much higher.

Xia Duo immediately thought of goblins, but do goblins need to drink water?

Ha ha--
