Lord of Arcane

Chapter 277 Aiwa's Past

Of course Aiwa remembers Xia Duo, not to mention the contact he had with him when he was recruited last year. In the arcane competition last month, Savile was the only new mage who won the title of "Pioneer". Who doesn't know it!

But he didn't think the two of them could have any intersections now, "Master Xia Duo? What is he looking for me for? Did you say something?"

As he spoke, suspicion gradually appeared in his gaze towards Jibb, not the kind of suspicion of good and evil, right and wrong, but doubts about what Jibb had done.

Aiwa believed that Gibb had no ill intentions towards him, but he knew that kindness could sometimes be troublesome.

"No, I didn't tell him about you. Master Xia Duo wanted to hire you as an instructor of his territory guard."

Gibb first explained something, but then he sighed and said in a desolate tone: "Aiwa, haven't you given up on that matter yet? Give up! It's been so many years, it should be done for those of us who are alive. Consider it!"

"No! I will never give up!" Aiwa's attitude was very decisive. He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and murmured, "I will never forget that bloody afternoon, when my family was surrounded by the crowd above my head." Tortured to death by wild beasts!"

Perhaps Aiwa's voice infected Gibb, and Gibb also began to recall, "Yeah, I can't forget, if it wasn't for the day I went to play with you and was driven into the cellar by Uncle Ladd, I wouldn't be here today." It's me! It's just that my family—"

When mentioning his family, Gibb suddenly regained consciousness, "Aiwa, the orcs have been defeated now, can't you live a normal life?"

"Normal life? Huh!"

Aiwa asked rhetorically, "Just like you, begging for a wife, having a child, and then secretly feeling sad at night so that those enemies we have lost their relatives are living happily?"

"You've killed a lot of people over the years, that's enough! It's time to stop! Uncle Ladd doesn't want to see you drowned in hatred either!"

"No, it's not enough! The biggest culprit is still alive and well, how can I stop!"

"Ugh--"

Gibb knew that once Aiwa made a decision, it would be difficult to change. There have been countless conversations like this in the past, but he still wanted to say:

"Can you kill such a character? It's been ten years, how many ten years of life can be wasted, let it go, even if you kill him, our relatives will not be able to come back, and it will make you die in vain! "

Yes, such a big shot would be killed wherever he wanted, not to mention how tight the usual protection was, even if he succeeded by luck, would he still be able to escape the pursuit of the mages?
After joining Savile's army for nearly ten years, Gibb knew exactly what those mages could do, and he believed that Aiwa, who had been in the core area of ​​the empire for a long time, knew better than him.

He can't just watch his friends and brothers go to die!

Seeing that Jibu wanted to say something more, Aiwa quickly interrupted him, "You just said that Master Xia Duo wanted something from me, what exactly is it?"

"Master Xia Duo has obtained a territory in the Green Pearl Forest, and he wants to hire you as the instructor of the territory guard."

"Instructor? Teach what?"

Although Xia Duo didn't say it clearly, Gibb still noticed something, "I guess he wants you to teach the members of the guard to use magic items."

"Teach this?" Aiwa was very suspicious.

It is not that simple for ordinary people to learn to use magic. Not to mention other things, the magic scrolls used for practice alone require a lot of gold coins.

"Are you sure it's this? That Master Xia Duo is very rich? Impossible, he was just an apprentice last year!"

Aiwa has only seen established guards armed with magic items in some prosperous territories in the interior, but here?

Even Savile Territory doesn't have such a magic guard, so how can a new territory afford it!
"This—" Gibb hesitated before saying, "It should be, Master Xiaduo mentioned before that the guards should be equipped with magic scrolls."

And it was almost like a goblin killer's magic scroll, Gibb thought to himself, he had seen Xia Duo cast that sound spell a few times, and most goblins had no resistance to it, and they were so frightened that they collapsed when they heard the sound.

"Aiwa, do you want to try?"

"Let me think about it." Aiwa didn't directly refuse after all.

But Gibb understood what he meant in an instant, but he still said, "Master Xiaduo's territory is still very small, but who can say that it will not be possible to develop into Savile Territory in the future! By then, maybe Make your revenge easier."

"No, you don't understand—" Aiwa's voice trailed off.

His old friend's vision is still a little narrower. Once what he wants to do is done, even Lord Savile may not be able to keep him, let alone a small territory with an uncertain future!

Furthermore, even if he is willing to continue to wait, his enemy will definitely survive to that day. If he cannot complete revenge while the enemy is alive, then what is the point of all his efforts before that!
Afterwards, Aiwa did not continue on this topic, but talked about their recent situation with each other. After a while, Aiwa walked out of the room with a bulging money bag and left quickly.

Behind him came Lina's scolding and Jibu's reassuring voice. Aiwa smiled knowingly, dumped the gravel in his purse on the side of the road, and returned to his original indifferent face.

……

In two days, Midsummer's Day.

The festive atmosphere began to become frenzied when the sun rose in the morning, and the square was crowded with all kinds of tourists.

Many villagers living outside the town even brought their families here, just to get some sacred aura of the Lord of Radiance on this day.

On this day, which is also the only day of the year, spellcasters, adventurers, big businessmen, small traders, farmers, craftsmen, and even slaves, all of them gather together for carnival almost without class.

The priests preached the teachings, the mages performed magic, the adventurers showed their muscles, and the businessmen gave some worthless gadgets to tourists.

The show performed by more people, the show shown, this is not only a carnival for everyone, but also a gift from mortals to the Lord of Radiance.

In the Tower of Time, the frenzied atmosphere outside seemed to have spread in. Most of the apprentices had already left, but some mages seemed to be reserved. It was not until near noon that they slowly walked out of the mage tower and participated in the carnival of the crowd.

Xia Duo is also among them, but his nature of fun is very shallow. He wants to go outside the town to see if the Lion and Fire Circus is here, and to see if Muyan is here!
Squeezing through the crowd, Xia Duo casually released a few magical fireworks, which drew cheers from the surrounding people, but it was even more crowded!

Someone kept shouting, "One more!"

"another one!"

Normally, no one would dare to order an official mage like this, but now it seems that the surrounding crowd gave them courage, or the fanatical atmosphere made them do so.

It was just a trick, even the clergy of the Lord of Radiance were being "besieged", Xia Duo could only satisfy them.

If it weren't for the special control of spellcasting by the Tower of Time today, he really wanted to use [Levitation] to fly directly over the crowd!
now--

It can only be squeezed out slowly!
Xia Duo even regretted changing into a magic robe today instead of dressing up as an adventurer!
