Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3
At the same time as Shado, there was a young man who helped at the Old Neil Hotel, but the young man was only carrying dishes and washing vegetables, and he had 2 silver coins every day. Shado went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and Serving dishes, moving wine barrels, and cleaning upstairs and downstairs.

From morning to night, he never stopped for a moment. Even learning common languages ​​with little Neil was like squeezing toothpaste.

At this time, little Neil wanted to go to the circus outside the town to see the trolls, and he had to take Xardo to see them together. He might not have any malicious intentions, but this kind of thing might change some of his thoughts in Old Neil's place.

For some reason, Xia Duo was still inexplicably excited. Perhaps it would be the best choice to turn his face with Old Neil. He was already able to survive alone in Savile Territory, but reason told him that he couldn't, so wait.

"Isn't there Marin there to help? Let's take a look, just one look, it won't take much time." Little Neil held on to Xardo's sleeve. He has just grown up this year, and he is still a little playful. Use Marlin as a shield.

Marin was another young man who helped out at the Old Neil Hotel, but today was Midsummer and there were so many guests that he couldn't be busy by himself. Maybe Aunt Susan, who was in the back kitchen, would come out to help.

In this case, it is impossible for Old Neil to stay out of the situation. Originally, he only needed to sell wine and collect money at the front desk, but now he has to be busy.

Xia Duo really doesn't want to hate Old Neil at this time. He just wants to spend these three days smoothly and wait for the results of the assessment. If he passes, he will live in the mage tower. If he fails, he will not be able to immediately Just leave Old Neil's hotel.

"What if Old Neil finds out? Don't cry when you get beaten." Xia Duo threatened.

Although Old Neil oppressed Xia Duo, he didn't have much tolerance for his son, but he just had to do it. If he wasn't obedient, he would even get Aunt Susan to join him in mixed doubles.

It was Marin, because he was the son of a meat supplier in the store, so although the salary was not high (higher than Chardonnay), at least the work was easier.

If the two of them didn't go back to the store to help after the assessment this time, and they went to the circus to be found out by Old Neil, Xia Duo would only reduce his goodwill and increase his ill-will on Old Neil's side, and the final result is still to come. , but little Neil absolutely needs a mixed doubles meal right away.

Hearing Xia Duo's words at this time, little Neil shrank his head subconsciously, and the hand holding Xia Duo's sleeve also loosened, feeling a little depressed.

"Okay, let's go, let's see tomorrow." Xia Duo said.

In fact, even if we go to see it tomorrow, Xia Duo is not very willing to go. In this Faerun Continent full of various magical powers, Xia Duo instinctively does not want to touch the things that he does not understand.

Watching trolls may satisfy one's momentary curiosity, but otherwise?What can you gain?If the circus is not properly controlled and the troll jumps up and eats him, who will he reason with.

Regardless of what Little Neil thought, Xia Duo dragged him to the south road, but just after taking two steps, Little Neil responded, "It's up to us to take part in the assessment and how long it will take us to decide. , go play for a while, you don't talk, I don't talk, who knows?"

Little Neil's words seem to be somewhat reasonable. At least Xia Duo did not see anyone he knew during the assessment of the Mage Tower. Judging from the demeanor and clothes of the young people who participated in the assessment, almost none of them were ordinary people. .

And those people were also very indifferent to Shado and Little Neil, and none of them took the initiative to talk to them. Those people all had their own circles.

Obviously, the servants of the Mage Tower are not as simple as servants, otherwise there is no need for assessments, and those assessments, in Xia Duo's view, are more like selecting apprentices. Most of those topics focus on thinking ability, not servants' obedience. Sex, stamina, work skills, whatever.

This may be the beginning of mage training. After all, there are only a few people who can really send their children to learn magic. At least there are not many such rich people near the Old Neil Hotel, which is the southern area where adventurers are concentrated.

The people there either have no children or have no money. If they had money, they would have already bought land, bought slaves to farm, or started business. Who would be willing to work desperately to be a risky adventurer.

There is often a saying among adventurers - "After this trip, we will find a noble to join us."

Or "After this trip, we'll buy a piece of land and put our roots down."

But people who said these words often didn't get any good results. For the people that Xia Duo knew in the past six months, at least a dozen went to the forest in the south, and then never came back.

Little Neil said that no one knew when the assessment would end. Xia Duo knew it was impossible, but he did not refute it.

Seeing that Xia Duo was silent, little Neil became excited again, "Great, let's go see the trolls!"

As he said that, he looked at Xia Duo expectantly. He knew that if Xia Duo didn't go, even if he went by himself, he would not be able to escape a mixed doubles when he went back. Only two people could go together to hide it.

Xia Duo has also thought about it seriously at this moment, and thinks that it is okay to go there. Of course, his main purpose is not to see trolls. What is there to see in trolls? A troll once.

In fact, Xia Duo was considering whether to test Old Neil once. Perhaps he was speculating on Old Neil with the greatest malice, but when he came to another world alone, he could not be too cautious.

At least from another point of view, in the situation of Old Neil, Xadoo is unwilling to let go of an unaccompanied, cheap or even moneyless laborer in Savile Town.

The "skin" of a nobleman's children has been exposed in the past half a year, and even a nobleman, a nobleman who can't even speak the common language of Netherite, how much deterrent can he have in the Netheril Empire? ?
Judging from the change in Old Neil's attitude in the recent period, he is likely to have some careful thoughts, but Xia Duo is not sure what it is, it is not a good thing anyway.

Obviously, going to see the circus outside the town with little Neil can't be hidden from old Neil, so if you try a little bit, you can make plans early. Xia Duo doesn't want to fall into inexplicable luck.

He was very grateful to Old Neil for bringing him into the local area, but if he was asked to give up the opportunity to control his own destiny and live as a coolie in a small hotel all his life, he would never be able to do it.

"Okay, but don't miss out when you go back." Xia Duo said.

"Great, let's go!"

Shado followed Little Neil's pull and walked east. To be honest, for the past six months in Savile Town, his trajectory of activity was almost confined to the vicinity of the Old Neil Hotel in the southern part of the town.

Today is the first time he has walked this far. First, he went to the Mage Tower in the northwest of the town, and then crossed half of the town. Now he is going to the east again, leaving the town to watch the circus. Xia Duo greedily watched everything on the road. It was fresh for him.

From the words of the adventurers who ate and stayed at the Old Neil Hotel, Shado knew the general layout of Savile Town. There were also residential houses and shops in the east. However, unlike other areas, the east area had a special area for Conefera City's bulk purchasing area.
