Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2244 Journey to Imasca 4
After convincing Niya, the next thing is simple, just like the last time I went out, leave a permanent portal in the territory, and then fly eastward from the floating city.

This is the same as having your own private car on earth, and traveling is as simple as going to the vegetable market to buy food.

Although Xia Duo and Niya had already experienced the journey from the southern border to Comanthor, but this time because they did not apply for entry, they chose to pass by from a high altitude, which might not be a novelty.

It’s just that Xia Duo underestimated the movements of the Floating Void City, and also underestimated his influence. Almost immediately after his trip, and before he reached the sky above Conifera City, Comanso sent an envoy to inquire. :
"I don't know where Lord Xiaduo will go on this trip, but Comanso is willing to provide all necessary support!"

"Thank you for the generosity of King Elithel. Xia Duo just wants to continue his previous trip and travel to the puppet country in the east. It would be great if you can get some local information."

"Does Lord Xia Duo's Chang'an City need to pass through the territory of Comanso?"

"I won't bother you this time. I'm going to transit from a very high altitude. If you don't mind, I can also choose to take a detour to Fall into the Sea of ​​Stars."

"I don't mind, I don't mind. Extremely high altitudes do not belong to any country. Of course Lord Xiaduo can transit at will."

……

In front of Comanzo's envoy, Xia Duo did not conceal the destination of his trip. Of course, this was to avoid misjudgment by the other party. If he thought he wanted to go to Comanso to show his authority, it would be unsightly.

Almost immediately after the Cormanthor envoy left, another envoy came and delivered the Imasca information promised by the previous envoy.

Xia Duo opened it, and it was indeed much more detailed than that provided by Iolum. It not only included the description of Imasca's social form, but also introduced the contemporary artisan lord and his main subordinates.

The only troublesome thing is that the intelligence mentioned that Imaska ​​is relatively xenophobic and does not accept prying from the outside world. If you want to travel peacefully, you can use a trade identity provided by Comanso.

"So kind?"

To be honest, if it wasn't for the face-to-face chat with Coranie before, Xia Duo would 100% suspect that Comanso had ulterior motives. Even now, he is not completely at ease.

After all, gods can only provide a general direction, and mortals have to do the specific implementation. What the elves want to do below, the elf master god may not be able to control it in real time.

Anyway, it is not wrong to keep an eye on it.

……

In the study room on the top floor of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo told Niya to share the information sent by Comanso, after reading it, Nya asked with some hesitation: "So you plan to use the identity provided by Comanso to work in Imasca? "

"There is indeed such a plan. Otherwise, we may not be able to complete the most basic communication."

Among the information provided by Comanthor is the Imasca language, which is a local language called "Rushum", which is completely different from Nether or Elvish.

If you want to travel to the local area without knowing the language, the best way is to find a guide, and this is actually the specific plan provided by Comanso——

Among their trade caravans.

Anyway, according to Comanthor, their relationship with Imasca is not as close as they are with Netheril. Just a little business sentiment.

Of course, Xia Duo, an outsider, does not know the detailed past of Cormanthor and Imasca, but he believes that the story is definitely not as simple as the two messengers claimed.

But right now, entering the country through Cormanthor's channel should be regarded as the best way. After getting so familiar with him, he will naturally know where he is from.

If you are not familiar with it, it doesn't matter.

Niya didn't comment on Xia Duo's decision, but she worked harder and more frequently when practicing [World Editor].

……

Cormanthor, Underground City, Andalite Community.

After a few months, Xia Duo did not expect to come here once. Not long ago, he took the initiative to contact Comanthor and asked to join the Comanthor caravan and go to Imasca.

Then the pass he received before was activated, and then he came here.

Winter is not a good season for trading, but it is an exception for magic races. Moreover, in the case of food crisis in Imasca, it is very valuable to have a little food from Cormanthor at this time.

It's just that the caravan has already planned its departure, and it is impossible to wait and leave immediately according to Xia Duo's idea. Even if the above requirements are advanced, the preparation of goods and the organization of personnel will take time.

Comanso told Xia Duo that he would have to wait another two or three days at the earliest before leaving.

Of course, it is impossible for Xia Duo to stay in the Tower of Time for such a long time. After Niya initially mastered the [World Editor] and was able to use the virtual world to resist psychic spells, he brought Nya to visit the Tower of Time again. I have been to Stone Wind Restaurant.

The last time he failed to poach people, he only took away the cooking notes of Chef Shi Feng and his grandfather. Speaking of which, those two notes are still in his personal space.

Of course, the copy has already been handed over to Chef Cook in the territory, and the original is too precious, so it can just be handed back to Shi Feng this time.

Maybe it was an unlucky time last time, but when Xia Duo came to Shifeng restaurant this time, there were far more customers than before, and it was almost full.

In this case, Xia Duo didn't bring Niya in to crowd people, but sent Shi Feng to invite her to Floating Void City as a guest.

So that night, there was a scene where Xia Duo and Shi Feng competed on the same stage, and the judges were their families—Xia Duo's wife, Niya, and Shi Feng's daughter, Mu Lian.

"Dad, Dad, hurry up and try it! This snowflake crisp is delicious!"

Mulian, who looks like an elf, does not have the reserved and arrogant appearance of an elf at all. Instead, she is full of humanity. She is sometimes shy but not as charming as a gourmet food.

And Niya also invited Xia Duo to try the new dishes that Shi Feng had just developed not long ago. After some commercial praise, Xia Duo finally felt a bit overwhelmed:

"Chef Shi Feng, I made these more because I took advantage of the ingredients and novelty. In terms of craftsmanship, I am still far behind you!"

"Haha, this speaks to my heart, but Lord Xia Duo wants to be both a lord and a mage, and you can also possess such outstanding cooking skills. You really deserve to be us Orientals!"

"Ha ha!"

Although the two sides have different identities and statuses, sincerity is the best pass to cross classes, and Xia Duo has never flaunted his specialness.

To Shi Feng, he treated him like an old friend, but when he took out the two well-preserved cooking notes, Shi Feng was excited like a child.

But in the end he only got back his grandfather's cooking notes, and as for his own, he insisted on giving it to Xia Duo.

……

After the dinner, Xia Duo sent Shi Feng and his daughter back to the Andalite community. In the following time, he stopped wandering around and waited for the news of the departure of the Comanthor caravan.
