Lord of Arcane

Chapter 341 Accidents
I kept guessing in my heart, but on the surface, Xia Duo remained calm and said as if it was a routine:
"Master Wilder, I'm very glad to meet a high-ranking mage. What do you want to do during this visit?"

Simple chatting is not welcomed by mages, unless it is a close relationship, but for Xia Duo, Wilde obviously cannot reach this level.

"I am also very happy to think that such a young middle-level mage, Mage Xia Duo, your talent makes me feel envious, and the goddess of magic favors you so much!"

Wilder looks decent and speaks nicely, but the cold aura he "smells" from him always reminds Xia Duo that this person is not simple.

Xia Duo didn't speak, just looked at Wilder quietly, and Wilder also saw that Xia Duo was not the kind of young man who would get carried away after a few words of flattery.

So he finally expressed his intentions, "My lord got the news from the Austrian Federation that Aquiline was arrested in the Daxia Territory, so he specially asked me to come and redeem him, and we will pay for all the losses that the Daxia Territory suffered as a result. "

Redemption?

Xiaduo frowned. If someone else came, he might have agreed, but the Wilder in front of him was from the August Territory. De Parker reminded him just now that the August Territory and the Hawker Territory There is a feud between them.

The matter was already complicated enough, and the August leader had to be involved, which made Xia Duo a little headache, and he refused directly, but the cold aura he felt from the other party, and the August leader behind him It made him worry again.

"Mage Wilder, can you tell me why you want to redeem Aquiline? You must know that he is not one of yours." Xia Duo cryptically expressed his rejection.

But Wilder seemed to not care at all, and said unabashedly: "Of course I killed him!"

After hearing this, it was even more impossible for Xia Duo to agree. He really didn't want to get involved in the relationship between these two families. "Master Wilder, I'm sorry, but for this reason alone, I can't agree."

Wilder suddenly smiled and changed the subject, "I wonder what Lord Shador thinks about the current situation in Netheril?"

"Sorry, I don't know much about this." Xia Duo didn't lie, and he was very clear about the reason behind the shallow words, "If there is nothing else, I still have a very important experiment to deal with, I will Let De Parker entertain Your Excellency, and the Tower of Time welcomes Your Excellency."

After speaking, Xia Duo was ready to get up and leave.

"Lord Xia Duo, please wait a moment."

Wilder stopped Xiaduo, "I'm sorry, my previous words misunderstood you, but I want to say that August is your best friend when facing Hawkland."

"No!" Xia Duo stopped in his tracks, "We are not enemies with Hawkland, but a small accident happened. Aquiline cannot represent Hawkland, and you cannot represent August either."

Although Master Greta revealed that Hawkland is likely to become an enemy in the future, it is not yet, and the difference between friends and foes does not depend on words, but on the reality.

Wilder's lips moved, but in the end he didn't try to persuade him. He just mentioned when he left, "If Lord Shadow knows about the great cause we are doing, he will definitely agree with us!"

This sentence was reported by De Parker after he sent him out, and Xia Duo was noncommittal about it. Regardless of whether August had good intentions or malicious intentions, he did not seem to be involved in it for the time being.

This has nothing to do with his fundamental plan of "hugging his thighs outside and accumulating strength inside". The most important thing now is to wait for Ebuke's return and the news from Hawke's side to end this matter as soon as possible.

As for the follow-up, there will naturally be "thighs" to deal with. He just needs to hug him tightly and hide behind, and develop wretchedly.

……

On the second day after Wilde August left, Eberke came back. Xia Duo, who was reminded by Taling, didn't want to wait for almost an hour, and immediately asked Taling to teleport him to Eberk.

As soon as they met, Xia Duo couldn't wait to ask: "How is the situation? Have you heard any new news?"

Eboke looked a little tired. He had been busy inquiring for news these days, and he hadn't had a good rest.

However, just today he got some new news, which he felt was very important, so he rushed back immediately, "There is not much news that can be inquired about, and it is similar to what we learned before, and it is all superficial information. but--"

"But what?"

"New news suddenly appeared in Sevington today. Several mages in Hawke were attacked and killed, and four of them died on the spot. It was done by Gustling, but the authenticity has yet to be verified.”

August?Xia Duo's heart skipped a beat. Although there is no definite news yet, many people including him believe that it was Augustus who did it!
"Did Hawkling respond?" Xia Duo asked.

"Yes, this matter has already reached the Austrian Law Federation, and it may not take long before it will be completely spread." Speaking of this, Abeke showed a trace of worry on his face.

He also believed that Augustus was responsible for this matter, but it also had a lot to do with the Tower of Time, and Aquiline was arrested by the Tower of Time.

No one knows if Hawk understands that the Tower of Time is also involved!
What Eberke could think of, Xia Duo also thought of. Originally, he planned to use Aquiline to exchange some arcane crystals or repair materials, but now that this kind of thing happened suddenly, Aquiline must not let it go.

Because now, he is no longer sure that Hawke will comprehend the Tower of Time as an enemy.

Before, Hawkling didn't lose anything, but he was a little bit embarrassed, but because of his injustice and the fact that the Tower of Time had a backing, he could only accept it.

But now, Hawke killed four mages all at once, so the account is likely to be counted on Auguste's head, but the Tower of Time probably has to be divided.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo hurriedly asked Eberke, "Have you notified Hawker of Aquiline's arrest?"

"Already notified."

At this time, Eberke was also a little annoyed, because when he notified, he clearly implied that he would release him after paying the money, but in this situation, how could an enemy who was almost certain be let go easily!
"Ugh--"

Xia Duo sighed, he wondered if the August leader was trying to mess with him, Wilder failed to "redeem" Aquiline, and the murder case happened immediately there.

Xia Duo would not believe that these two things have no connection at all, the details involved the Tower of Time, and——

"Ebuke, did you leak the news when you informed Hawker? Leader August just sent someone the day before yesterday, saying that he wanted to buy Aquiline, but I didn't agree."

"what!"

Eberke reacted quickly, and immediately connected this matter with the assault and murder case, and the annoyance and worry on his face became heavier.

"Forget it, I didn't think carefully." Xia Duo comforted, and he was also a little annoyed.

Originally, he arranged for Eberke to spread the news through the Austrian Law Federation. He wanted to expose the matter of Aquiline, so that the other party violated the rules first.

But plans can never keep up with changes!
"Ugh--"

Xia Duo sighed again, but things had to be resolved. He asked Ebuke to rest first, and then stood alone on the spot, thinking carefully.
