Lord of Arcane

Chapter 226: Go Back in Time
This is the first time Xia Duo perceives such a miraculous thing. If it is not deliberately looking for abnormalities, but only in normal times, he will definitely ignore it.

This is simply a conceptual innovation.

Before today, Xia Duo had never felt that conceptual things could be truly perceived, and what people often said about "like" and "hate" were just descriptions.

It is not something that actually exists such as "like" and "dislike".

Now, however, "flow" and "moisturization" are really something concrete. For a while, Xia Duo was a little messy, and all kinds of pictures in his mind flashed like lightning, and finally became a mess.

Xia Duo shook his head, not thinking about those super-class things for the time being.

The only thing that can be determined now is that there is indeed an anomaly in this "road", and this "road" has always been pointing to the so-called treasure of Old Neil.

So is this "treasure" still the "treasure" he thought of?

A big question mark appeared in Xia Duo's heart, but no matter what, Xia Duo decided to continue walking, after all, he was in his own territory, so he had to take a look.

Moreover, concepts exist, and if you don't take a look, you will not be reconciled.

With all kinds of thoughts, Xia Duo quickened his pace, rampaging along the way, slashing with the fine gold long sword, cutting off everything that blocked the road one by one.

"Ok?"

Xia Duo stopped suddenly, and before he knew it, he was only [-] meters past the location of the treasure.

But being able to surpass it subconsciously is enough to show that no abnormalities have been found along the way. Xia Duo carefully felt the existence of the concept of "flow" and "moisturization", and it became more and more blurred here.

Even if it is carefully and attentively perceived, there is nothing there, and it seems that it is over here.

And here is near the so-called treasure!

Xia Duo took out Old Neil's map and the spell map copied from Lord Savile, and carefully compared it with reality, but any point on Old Neil's map corresponds to reality, and it is not a small area.

At least as big as two basketball courts.

The so-called standard position is still a rather thick big point.

Xia Duo first walked around the periphery, cut out marks on the trees, and then searched carefully, any tree, any piece of grass, any stone.

Until it was getting dark, there was still nothing found, not to mention treasures, not even a trace of man-made traces other than him!
Xia Duo couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Before he came, even if he was repeatedly reminded rationally, he was more or less looking forward to it.

But now nothing has been found. Although nearly half of the area has not been searched, Xia Duo's expectations have been extremely low.

The reason why he wanted to continue searching was that Old Neil would not leave maps for no reason, as well as the conceptual existences he discovered before.

This is certainly no ordinary place.

It was getting dark, Xia Duo decided to come back tomorrow.

……

As soon as he approached the landing point, Xia Duo smelled a smell of scorched earth. The basketball court-sized land opened up in the morning had been completely burned.

In the middle of the land, two tents, one large and one small, have been set up, and wooden boxes of supplies are stacked on one side of the tents.

Seeing Xia Duo return, Gibb and Simon immediately came to report.

"Everything went well today, my lord," said Gibb.

"Very good, but I still can't relax." Xia Duo nodded, feeling relieved about Gibson, and then asked Simon: "What's the situation on your side?"

"My lord, the situation on my side is considered smooth, except that two people were bitten by poisonous insects, but after taking the medicine, they are all fine."

There is something wrong with Simon, but it is also expected by Xia Duo. Although these people have been adventurers, they are not as sophisticated as Gibb and others who have been hanging out in the wild all year round.

After a few words of reassurance, they asked Gibb and Simon to inform everyone to rest. Opening up the territory is a long-term plan, and it is not about competing for this little time.

In the early stage, there is no need to squeeze too much of these people, the number of people is too small, and not many working hours can be squeezed out. Of course, if there are more people, it will be another matter.

……

The big tent on the open space is shared by others, while the small tent is used by Xia Duo alone.

Entering the camp, there was nothing inside except two simple wooden boxes, but the floor was covered with a layer of wooden boards.

Putting two wooden boxes together and laying blankets on it is considered a bed. After Xia Duo made the bed, he summoned a ball of light and studied the spell notes while eating bread.

It didn't take long before I heard Jibb calling him from outside the curtain at the door, "My lord, can I come in?"

Xia Duo didn't think too much, and said casually, "Come in."

After receiving the order, Gibb opened the door curtain and trotted over, "My lord, I prepared this for your lord."

As he spoke, he handed over the things in his hands.

"Where's the barbecue?"

Xia Duo frowned as he looked at the black thing delivered by Gibb with a dagger on it.

There is indeed meat in the supplies, but it is pre-made bacon jerky that can be used for soup and chewed, but it has nothing to do with roast meat.

As if to prove that he did not leave his post without authorization, Gibb quickly explained, "A silly rabbit happened to bump into my leg this afternoon, so I grabbed it."

Such a coincidence?Xia Duo was a little skeptical, but he didn't get to the bottom of it. He believed that Gibb could tell the difference, but he still firmly rejected the dark barbecue:

"You took this roasted hare and shared it with others."

"grown ups!"

"Needless to say, take it back and give it to others, don't forget the Simona team."

"This—" Gibb hesitated for a moment, but still took the barbecue and left.

Then Gibb's voice sounded outside the tent, "My lord ordered me to share the barbecue with everyone!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of cheers, "Thank you Lord Lord!"

Inside the camp, Xia Duo shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't know how much sincerity there was in it, but only from the surface, the situation was very good.

……

On the second day, Xia Duo arranged for Simon and the others to start from the temporary camp and continue to expand outwards, while Gibb and the others were still on guard. For the time being, they will all exist as a cordon until the arrival of the second batch of people.

Patrol day and night, in case of unhealed.

After arranging the temporary camp, Xia Duo went to the treasure hunt alone like yesterday afternoon, and nearly half of the treasure spots on the map were not searched!

Following the road opened yesterday, Xia Duo moved forward much faster.

From the temporary camp to the "treasure", it was about a little more than a mile. Xia Duo didn't stop all the way, and he arrived here soon.

And all he has to do is to continue searching along the location of the trace left yesterday.

Xia Duo looked at tree by tree, the traces he left were very obvious, and he couldn't find them, but he quickly found yesterday's progress.

But he soon discovered something unusual.

Q: How to ensure that every tree, every piece of turf, every stone is searched, and nothing is missed?

Naturally, there must be a plan. The simplest thing is to go one by one like a chessboard, and eventually all the places will be searched.

That's what Xia Duo did, simple and rude, but effective.

Then the traces he left yesterday will definitely be in a straight line, and there will be no omissions, but here comes the problem——

Xia Duo found that there was no trace of him left in the "one frame", but there were two sides of it, as if Xia Duo had drunk too much yesterday and only missed this "frame".

how can that be!
