Lord of Arcane

Chapter 276 The Gibb Family

The "Lucky Owen" is just a very ordinary inland flat-bottomed cargo ship. After loading more than 100 people, the cabin became full, and even the upper deck was full of people.

If it wasn't for the old Owen's repeated assurances that there would be no problem, Xia Duo would rather divide the transportation into two trips.

And in order to return to Savile Town as soon as possible, during the day they arranged for the citizens to take turns paddling.At night, it will be operated by the original crew again.

At the same time, Xia Duo provided a large [Light Art] support to illuminate the waterway on the return journey.

In this way, despite the countercurrent, the "Lucky Owen" arrived in Savile Town one day later and docked at the port.

Arman, the steward of the Liadon Chamber of Commerce, who had received the summons from Xia Duo for a long time, was already waiting at the port. When Xia Duo got off the boat, he went up to meet him:
"Lord Xiaduo, all the food and shelter have been arranged, and the people of your lord can live there all the time during this time."

"Okay, fortunately for you."

Arman didn't dare to take the credit, and quickly said: "It's still the previous warehouse, but this time it's just been vacated again."

Having said that, Xia Duo knew that even if it was just an ordinary port warehouse, it would not be easy to vacate it, even if it had been made in advance when he came back last time.

"I still have some things to deal with in the Mage Tower, and you can discuss it with Priest Leiden."

"Yes."

After that, Xia Duo gave Leiden a few more words, and then left the port, but he did not return to the Tower of Time immediately, but stopped in the central square.

The Midsummer Festival is approaching, and the buildings around the square have already hung red, yellow and orange tricolor streamers, and there are even bards performing in the square at this time.

However, Xia Duo was not here to watch the show, but to wait for someone. He stood not far from the town hall, away from the crowd, very conspicuous, but no one dared to casually come up to strike up a conversation with the mage.

After a while, a soldier wearing a Savile collar leather armor trotted over, and it was the person Xia Duo was waiting for——Jib.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Xia Duo looked at Gibb carefully. The man in his 30s looked very much like him when he faced Lord Epps. Xia Duo didn't want to make him nervous, so he said bluntly:

"Can you get in touch with Aiwa? I want to hire him as an instructor of the Territory Guard."

Xia Duo did not say to invite Aiwa to join the territory. He knew that the current Great Xia Territory was not enough to attract a rogue who had received professional training and could use magic items.

Now it is just hiring, but in the future, at the right time, it may be transformed into joining.

"My lord—" Jibb really wanted to agree for his friend, but he knew that his friend would not agree. Aiwa had something he wanted to do, and if it wasn't for that, he would have left Savile long ago.

It's just that Xia Duo's request can't be easily refused. After hesitating for a while, Gibb said: "My lord, I can contact Aiwa, but I think it is unlikely that he will agree."

"I don't agree?" Xia Duo frowned. He recalled every detail of the mission he performed with Aiwa last year. Aiwa was indeed a taciturn person who hardly communicated with others, but that would not be a problem with gold coins. .

He remembered that Djibouti said before that Aiwa was an adventurer, wouldn't an adventurer not want to earn gold coins?

"Get in touch with him for me, and I'll talk to him in person."

"This——" Jiva gritted his teeth, "I can't agree to meet the lord for Aiwa, but I will tell him the lord's request, and if he agrees, I will bring him to meet the lord."

"Ah!"

It's just that a wanderer made such a big deal, and Xia Duo suddenly regretted mentioning it. He just wanted to find someone who would teach ordinary people how to use magic scrolls. Without Aiwa, there must be other Biwa and Sewa!
But since it has already been mentioned, Xia Duo will not use it. He is a pragmatist, so he said: "If you find someone, go to the Liadon Chamber of Commerce and let Steward Alman inform me!"

After finishing speaking, he left directly, leaving only Gibb on the spot with a changed expression.

……

Back at the Mage Tower, Xia Duo first went to see Niya, conveyed the words of Lord Epps, and then went straight into the magic laboratory.

During this period of time, he has accumulated a lot of imaginative experiments on [Levitation Art]. Without a magic laboratory, he dare not conduct too radical experiments.

As for the matter between Epps and Niya, Xia Duo didn't want to, and couldn't.Only the gloomy eyes of Teacher Niya impressed him deeply, but it was immediately forgotten.

Xia Duo devoted himself to the magic experiment, completely forgetting the passage of time.

……

On the other side, Gibb met Xia Duo in the square, and went to the Adventurer's Union to issue a mission to find the lost puppy, and then walked home.

After being away from home for so many days, he was so eager to see his family!

Savile Town, West End.

This is a civilian area in the mouth of adventurers, but that is just a joke. In fact, the people who live here are either the family members of low-level military officers and clerks in the territory, or local traders and handicraftsmen.

There is neither the hustle and bustle of the thriving trade in the Eastern Region, nor the danger of adventurers in the Southern Region facing swords at every turn. This place is calm, peaceful and most suitable for living.

Gibb's home is in the west area, close to the temple, it is the safest area.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Gibb's longing wife was sitting in the yard mending clothes, when a neighbor introduced her to work to supplement the family.

The son who has just learned to walk next to him is swaying around the trees in the yard. When he came back last time, the son could not walk yet.

This scene made Gibb's heart extremely peaceful. He suppressed some emotions and squeezed out from his throat: "Lina, I'm back!"

"Jib!"

Hearing the sound, Lina quickly put down the work in her hands and went up to meet her.

As soon as Gibb hugged his wife, he was about to take him into the house, but for some reason this time, Lina struggled desperately, blushing, and lowered her voice, "In the house—there is someone in the house!"

"Someone?!" Gibb was startled. He was holding his wife's hand and subconsciously put it on the sword hilt at his waist, but then he realized that he was too nervous.

"Who's here?" asked Gibb.

Lina pushed Jibu away, straightened her clothes, and said, "It's Aiwa. He came here not long ago and said he wanted to ask you."

Speaking of this, Lina's face suddenly changed, she took Jibra aside, and whispered, "Don't lend him any more money this time, my son will definitely learn magic in the future, and now I have to save money."

"Yes, yes." Gibb didn't dare to explain, so he had to answer yes again and again, and sent his wife to take care of the children, and he walked into the house alone.

……

After closing the door, Gibb saw the man standing in the corner by the window. The dim light made the man's silhouette look a little strange, but Gibb knew it was Aiwa.

"Why did you come so soon?"

"Don't forget, it will be Midsummer's Day in two days, and these two days are free." Aiwa turned around and looked at Jibu, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"It's not me looking for you, it's Master Xia Duo, remember Master Xia Duo? It's him who is looking for you!"
